Ville Valo interview, february 2010 (Kerrang podcast)

[izidagger]

Weird question. He always introduces himself with his full name, Ville Hermanni Valo. Is that a Finland thing or a European thing or just a Ville thing? In the US, at least, it's common to just say first and last.

[sarajka43]

loooooooove him ^^

[gisi0]

i love how he eat the gum xP

[HerInerfernalMajisty]

this is by far on the top of my favorites list of interviews

[teachmehowtodougie23]

"That there’s still stuff left for the imagintion. The Victorian romantic, in a way that you’re allowed to dream, and you’re allowed not to behave exactly how society wants you to.”

-Romance<3

[bekcs]

I'm pretty sure he's joking about it being the last album... less caps lock please...

[freevoice18]

NOOOOOO, IT CANT BE YOU LAST ALBUM!!!!!! I WANNA GET TO SEE YOU IN CONCERT!!!!!! SAD FACE =(

[elixxarose]

@freevoice18 I'm pretty sure he was taking the piss out of that question. He wouldn't give up on something that means so much to him.

[freevoice18]

@elixxarose well i sure hope so! ive been listening to him since i was tweleve sooo, his music has impacted me sooo much!

[elixxarose]

@freevoice18 Hahaha! same lol so much love for this man and this band. So inspirational, Ville proves that you can overcome anything.

[helenpunk]

ETERNAL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, HE CANNOT QUIT ON NEW MUSIC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[TzarnazProductions]

...you know...

[derangedzone]

his chewing is irritating

[cosiepaczysz]

@derangedzone yes, but... it's Ville so I dont care ;d

[fabiolavalo]

OMG he is wearing his shoes, on the bed ! That is too much for me! I Im Throw ing myself out the window now (ass first) LOL!

[sharky92396]

@fabiolavalo i love how they are all ratty and dirty looking but the bed is like pristine white

[slugger2213]

Rrrrrromantic......he took my breath away too!!! He's soooo sexy!!

[WeBlowTheyBang]

Rrrrrrromantic... Can't breathe... He has stolen my breath... So sexy...

[booglespud]

@WeBlowTheyBang I know the feeling lol. His voice and accent is amazing <3

[BethiicaMichelle]

Screamworks better not be the last album!

[ivanastfu]

hah my name foreaal on the last question.

[jaanuska95]

Don´t worry, people, the new album is coming year 2012, I know these things, because I have read about it, and because I´m from Finland!

[himacci]

@jaanuska95 I know that announced the new album, but it will propably already seriously last, so nothing changes. If you are not writing a new album, it means the end of HIM? This will be the end of my life. They are the only ones that i love so much.

[himacci]

@jaanuska95 I know that announced the new album. What if this will really last? Ville too tired of touring. It will mean the end of HIM? I can not live without them. They are the only ones I love.

[beanlovesledzeppelin]

I love how he rolls some of his R's. It reminds me of Til Lindemann :L

[hotelthehookers]

it won't be their last,I don't think it will be...they're too young and they love music.anyway,ville valo is charismatic nonetheless.I mean,the way his brains work.....he can be funny and sophisticated the same time,he's a wonderful,talented person.

[Thunder6957]

Awsome video! Yay Romance is alive!

[lapticul]

why would you need to be dirty and with your shoes on .... and stand on a bed, with your shoes? is this supposed to be cool? .. no

[Miapiar]

i dont know

what he needs the dress form for?

i wont let my imagination go too far

love you ville

[BananaHamburger]

nonononono. Screamworks can NOT be their last album! D:

[emorussian911]

2:21 Screamworks is the last album?! D: Nooooo!! *cries* How can this be possible!! :'(

[specialness16]

@emorussian911 I think they'll release another album, and another... and another :P

[jackuhlynn]

@emorussian911 ; they've announced a new album for 2012. :)

[MsSecretcombination]

I love him!

[Rockstarx666]

Yes cause we all dream about naked dwarfs...? ;) haha

[beautylover311]

his voice...his singing voice....his speaking voice...!!!

[marcusleonswadling]

Why does he sound almost english lol.

[ambarkley]

"Smoking cigarettes is okay, compared to like... smoking crack." Haha! That was a wonderful answer. He's adorable.

[kassandrahp]

[xxMcLovinGxx]

I WANT A LOOP OF HIM SAYING ROMANTIC

[VampFreakB4Twilight]

[KissofDawn2012]

I never get tired of watching this video! I love his sexy voice and his rolled 'r's! Plus he has very interesting, unique, and hilarious answers! I went to see him in concert last year after being a fan for years!

[PurpleAsh8]

His sense of humor - one of the sexiest things about him, one of many others...

[arey4eva]

naked dwarves and being rrrrrromantic. . . i love him

[InstantInsanity6]

Yes... we all dream of naked dwarves too....

[1993AngelGothic]

his voice is sooooo sexy!!!!!!!!!!<3<3<3

[rammstein0981]

the best voice ever! I can listen to him(ville valo, though I can do the same with HIM too)all nday and night long!!!! even for hole mounth!!!! <3 Ville 4EVER! But I must admit that I get a little bit sad when he said that screamworks will be their last album, because I didn't get the chance to see them live yet, which is kind of a huge dream in my life. And yes I am girl!

P.S One HUGE sorry for my bad english

[halofan714]

@rammstein0981 i agree fully and feel the same way but i am a guy

[joannahammerly]

why am i watching ville valo videos again?!!?

[TheBabes8976]

hes so sexy O_O

[tynetta91]

did he just said he doesn't enjoy being a superstar?

he said this album would "hopefully" be the last one, so they don't have to do this anymore.

did i get it right or.. idk

[bkohler89]

@tynetta91 I think he was being sarcastic :)

[genatzvalee]

I was totally obsessed with Ville in 2000-2003 and I even had no chance to hear him speak back then. I'd have probably dropped dead if I heard this sexy husky voice! It's really amazing. And his English pronunciation is great not to mention what he's actually saying - he sounds smart, creative, witty and yes, sultry as heck ;) Scorpio man!

[Frank15982]

Surprised by the creativity of Ville's answers. I wouldn't know how to answer half of these on the spot.

[darknessangelify]

heheheheheheheh I love Ville Valo ^_^

[Vampkiki]

rrrrrrromantic....so love it when he does that

[raynekeykey]

I love the epic music that plays when the questions pop up. like its life or death if Ville answers them wrong or to an unsatisfactory level. his voice just kills me. in a good way.

[Konspirisi]

Rrrromantic means you, Ville <3

[TheBloodyHeartagram]

Listening to someone saying Rrrromantic is ok, but listening to VILLE saying that is so fucking sexy.. whatever he says is hot,just because HE IS HOT ♥

[Alansworstnight]

Screamworks wasn't promoted as much as it should have and it should've been produced by Hilli.

[sethoreth]

geez!!!!!! girls go nuttts over Ville Valo... very scaryyyyy

[aminelove123]

i love him!!!!!!! i dont want him to stop makeing music :{

i niver got to see him in concert :!

[DarkxSekretxLove]

Usually smacking gets under my skin, but when Ville smacks it's like hearing angels sing. LOL.

[DaFi319]

LOVE the way you are <3 <3 <3 <3

[foreverloveless27]

Noooooo they cant stop i will cry!!!!! noooooooooooooo!!!!!! Its the end of the world!! oh no!!!!!!!!!!

[foreverloveless27]

Crack is WACK!!!

[TheMerolChannel]

that rrrrrromantic makes me so freakin nervous!!!! I LOVE IT!!! XD

[miss666able]

me encanta como dice Rrrrromantic! aah it takes my very breath away and reminds me of y i luv men with accents :) <3 and i kno the rolling r's belong to more than jus spanish being a native spanish speaker thats jus wat it reminded me of, and it sounds amazing on him <3

and ville while i wish for u guys to have as much wonderful success with ur work as possible i would cry my eyes out if it meant u'd stop making music, so please continue!

[OushGisher]

'R-r-r-r-r-romantic, ummm...'

[OushGisher]

Lol I love how all the drooling girls are always waiting for his next answer to sound so romantic and vehement after he says things like 'in a beautiful way terrible,' and then he says something hilarious like 'I was maybe asking myself a question how far am I... willing to go... for a... ::girls nearly orgasm::... pair of tits.' Girls: 'WHAAAT!?!'

[Jezebellle666]

@nikolasheartagram89  He's not married

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

Look at you girls, calm down! LOL

[maidenseiden]

@AnthemsToTheWelkin we will, just tell how?!?!?!?!

[1337rofl]

It's fun to live in Scandinavia and have those R's. :D

USA-fag is jelly.

[sissygirl222]

His voice is rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroman­tic ;) ♥

[sweetdream1616]

Ok, he didn't find me yet.

[babyrrrtdoll]

elizabeth bathory!!!jajajajja!xD!

[joannahammerly]

god, i want him so bad.

[NeonBytesRexy]

No man can roll their 'r's like Mr Valo.

[lejasivharjo]

@AstreNger Beaaaauuutifully said! <3

[skribbleh]

He says Rrrrrrrrrrromantic because they roll their r's in Finnish language

[malicecreep]

@skribbleh Haha! I don't roll my r's

[skribbleh]

@malicecreep It might be because of the part of Finland you're from; I'm assuming you're from Finland and that there are different accents in different parts of Finland. I'm not from Finland so I don't know much about the language, even though I am learning the language.

[niksora]

@skribbleh y

Yes and is soooooooo sexy

[GothVampireQueen]

@rammstein8128726 I think he meant his band mates.

[GothVampireQueen]

I love how he says HIMM!!!!!

[razorbladekissss]

@rammstein8128726 oh yeah the band, lol

[razorbladekissss]

@rammstein8128726 he does?

[boovampy]

[DiabloBlvd7]

Hahaha fuckin awesome

[mzomb13]

[TwistedWithin]

WTF, final album? O__O Who wants to join me in kicking his ass so hard he won't be able to sit down for 6 months if he stops his carreer now? o/

[CrazyVampir]

@TwistedWithin

Me ! Me ! Chose me ! :D But... I think, I can't kick his mrrrrrrau ass :3 no way ! ^^

[TwistedWithin]

@CrazyVampir Haha that's true, who could kick the butt of a man who says "romantic" in such a sexy way? XD I don't think it's possible XD but if THIS is his final album, he's got to pay \_/ he can't abandon us like that T__T

[CrazyVampir]

@TwistedWithin

'rrrrromantic' ^^ my heart is mealting when I hear that, really :D

but you're right, if that is final album, I promise that I will go to Finland, find his fucking tower [mission imposible xD but I will find !] and, and, and... and I don't know what I will do :3 hahaha :D they MUST play and he MUST singing... I don't see other way ;D sorry Ville, your voice is to beautiful to stop singing :D muahahahahahahahahaha ! ]:D

[zizela11]

[TheLzchannel]

rrrrrrrrromantic *-* you're the one. <3

[SoftIceFinn]

Ville, you're the best singer EVER, so you should NOT stop singing EVER! Really, your voice, and everything is always so perfect.

Btw, MYÖHÄISTÄ SYNTTÄRIÄ SULLEKKI VILLE! ♥

[xXxEndlessxDarkxXx]

"RRRRRRROMANTIC" god, his finnish accent is so ERRROTIC!

[Axelfirestarter1993]

omg it sounds so sexy when he says 'romantic'

[unknownmoi94]

Ville,HAPPY B-DAY...!!!

Maja and Vera

[bellaBRoBRo]

his voice is amazingly sexy

[Xoxoxy14]

Not unsucessfuly, very sucessfuly. HIM are a great band, they aren't that recognize because of where they came from. Finland is a very small country. But ville writes the most rrrrrrromantic songs I have ever heard.

[Xoxoxy14]

Rrrrrrrrrromantic, is so seexyyy

[AstreNger]

It seems he wants something more...he wants to find or if he has, then be with/marry his true love. I hope this happens or has happened for him. If so, I am grateful for the music we have because I think he would want to spend all of his time with his true love and start a family. I think that is what he really wants. I hope he gets it.

[eleanorGreed]

Maybe the most beautiful person ever =)

[pinkietows]

oops 3/26/10.... just looked at the ticket  :(

[pinkietows]

To @hotelthehookers I like your name , as for quitting smoking , i have since quit myself even though that was what ? Two weeks ago. Thank you for the information, I've since been aware that Ville has quit smoking. I live less than 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia, and I was supposed to attend their 3/23/10 show, however I had had pink-eye in both eyes. I had later seen through youtube that he was not smoking during the set played here, thus assuming he had quit smoking.

[Xoxoxy14]

"how far I am willing to go for a pair of tits" OMG ville...

[villevalominator]

@Xoxoxy14 =))) Ville is the biggest genius of wordplays I have

ever seen!!! Love HIM forever =)

[Xoxoxy14]

@villevalominator true true, he is very funny though.

[Glinsemam]

stop at 3:25 (... horror movie question)

[chixie91]

Vile you rock my love!!!! <3

[LittleSeta]

if deep, heavy, expensive Burgendy coloured velvet could speak, it would sound like Valo <3

[pinkietows]

",but you know, smoking cigarettes is ok compared to, like, smoking crack ......."

(MUCH APPLAUSE TO THIS ONE, AS I CAN USE THIS EXCUSE WHEN I'M HARASSED ABOUT MY SOCIAL SMOKING !!!!)

[hotelthehookers]

@pinkietows well,ville quitted smoking so I don't know what excuses you can use.....

[lalalalala860]
