Ville Valo Talks About His Inspirations, HIM & Finding His Voice

[@myvirtualtoyz7338]

Instant click! Ville is like family. Not many will admit it but while at their prime HIM brought an insane amount of new fans to the metal scene that kept it alive. I felt like there was a huge gap without them in the metal scene. Glad Vile is back.

[@anetapodstawa5686]

That’s true! I was a pop fan and 2007 I discovered HIM when first hearing Ville his cover of Summer wine! That song was everywhere! And so my rock journey began and here we are so many years later and fav band is Epica which is symphonic metal

"Happy music makes me incredibly sad - I can't stand it." I need that printed on a t-shirt. 😀

[@Metal_Vault]

What a great interview. Ville is a Finnish treasure!

[@HellexSoihtu]

Ville's Finnish version of "Annie's Song" is a heart-moving one. If we're getting all sentimental here, how about a melancholic Rock trip to the 80s? Here's couple of acts from that era you probably haven't heard of. Zero Nine is one of the first Finnish Heavy bands and has opened for E.g. Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Scorpions and Alice Cooper. Late Kirka was an all around music professional and he's a legend in Finland. Royal Tramps has opened for such bands like Deep Purple, Neil Young and Pearl Jam. Royal Tramps' video is ok and Kirka has a good live performance of the song from 1989 in which he gets to flex his vocal cords , but with Zero Nine I'd go with the album version. Zero Nine's and Kirka's songs are ballads, so watch out and have lighters near by you. Zero Nine - Angel (1982) Kirka - In My Dreams (1986) (Live 1989) Royal Tramps - Colder (1990)

Looking forward to hearing the Neon Noir album live as well as the HIM tracks I know and love. I hope there will be dedicated shows in Australia rather than part of a festival, or in the very least some side shows to a festival.

[@tur0v]

Feels I got almost more out of VV from this, than from the interviews I've ever heard here in 🇫🇮

[@АнастасияТибирькова-о2я]

"Hiigh" 😅

[@DaniArrow]

So weird to hear him talk so honestly

[@moviemovie8941]

Уникальный вокалист на мой взгляд ....лучший вокал современности. Таких нет и вряд-ли когда любо появятся. .. На самом деле божественный вокалист. ...очень уважал группу в которой он пел. Ждём сольный альбом ..ну на мой взгляд очень напоминает его творчество.....

[@backfate678]

Да точно! Он очень талантливый человек!
