HIM: Ville Valo, making of "Bleed Well" music video

[hardyrulez96]

what the hell i didnt know people danced in the back of bleed well?

[HIMfan915]

Haha the little girl is adorable. XD

I hope my kids are like that.

[Magirk38]

Ville looks great in this. I love his long hair. he's so sexy. Great song and album.

[Jewels622]

I don't remember seeing any of those people in the video....LOL

Especially the little girl. She's sooo cute, (don't get me wrong and thumbs down it) I just DON'T see her or anyone but the band in the final product.

[emilyownsarat]

@Jewels622 I was just about to say the same thing.

[dreamsellernovak1]

how was that little girl in the video.

does she know the band or somthing .

or is she jusst a random lucky fan that got to be in the video??

[KTScott2000]

FAN! Big LITTLE FAN lol

Though she was fortunate to have the whole band sign her guitar ;)

[didoodle]

@dreamsellernovak1 I think she's Burtons daughter? I'mm sure it would have been fun :o)

[hispoisongirl36]

aw, the cute lil girl in the red dress!

[Magirk38]

I love it. Ville is so sexy and has a great voice! I love when he screams! HIM rock!

[dayan1203]

Lucky little girl

[JuulHaa]

Aww he's wearing his father's shirt :D

[KTScott2000]

yep!

[xxHannahHeartagramxx]

this is really kewl....how did u find out about it?

[thedispatcher66]

katie was rockin out!

[LoveTheBlackout]

That might just be the cutest thing ever shes so lucky.x

[Kinasei]

i fuking luvvvvvv HIM i wuld take 20 bullets for Ville and Mige, (but not take their razors :D )

[VHVJN]

Ich sterbe warum sind da soviel Leute die dürfen zuschauen das ist gemein ich will auch hin. Aber des is so süß wie Ville manchmal lächelt total goldig.

[KTScott2000]

Wish we understood the comment!

But, being bilingual for us only means

English/Spanish! lol Sometimes Spanglish too!

=D

[Alexa016]

it said...."why are there so many people and can watch...i also wanna watch.but its so sweet how villes smiling"......

[KTScott2000]

Thanks bunches! =)

it was fun, and the fans were lucky for the opportunity!

[Alexa016]

yeah!!!!^^

[demian737]

OMG this chick behind ville with the long hair is to hot ffs !! xD

[DanuiZ]

Why in the video isn't any people dancing?...and...who are that little girl?

[DaniFilthie]

why in the video there isn't any people dancing??

[CandiceCOBAIN]

Ummmm, KATIE (age 7) is rockin'! The chic in torn lace is moving! But, THESE were not pros! They were fans--they represent regular people like you & me--not all of whom know how to dance, or can be a part of a professional video! Some people might have been shocked to just share a stage w/Ville! Though--YOU should upload yourself dancing to this song and show everyone how it's done!!!!

I was their (IN THE CROWD) and had a most memorable time!

[ammezza]

...haha i'm just asking why in the official bleed well him video isn't any people dancing... that's all =]

[CandiceCOBAIN]

do u have 2 accounts?

[DaniFilthie]

...haha i'm just asking why in the official bleed well him video isn't any people dancing... that's all =]

[luketheunicorn]

i think its the American version with no dancing

[CandiceCOBAIN]

do u have 2 accounts? lol

[DaniFilthie]

ammm, nope, it's just that i was in my aunt's account when i made the other comment... but this is the good one

[MorbidDoll1]

YOU LUCKY PEOPLE!!!!ENVY ENVY!!! XD

Ville is a dreaaammmmm,I love him very much,he's

a hero to me!

[KTScott2000]

Yes, he is very real--down to earth, kind and VERY INSPIRING w/his lyrics! Love him!

[MorbidDoll1]

Is he??? he seems so, actually...always very kinda nd humble on interviews and with his fans!!! I'm glad you had that amazing oportunity!!!! I wish I was you that day :-D

Did you meet Mige,Linde,Burton and Gas, too????

[KTScott2000]

Yessss! And, they ALL signed our cheap red guitar LOL Now, it's our treasure! ALL the guys were absolute dolls!

[MorbidDoll1]

I am sure they are!!! Congrats!!! :-)

[CandiceCOBAIN]

Hero is right on! Seeing Ville in the flesh was incredible, because we have enjoyed his music for so long. Everyone from HIM was really cool. BTW Katie is my lil' sister =)

[villevalo94]

When and where was this filmed?? and how'd you get in?

[KTScott2000]

Los Angeles, CA downtown at The Orpheum! All one needed was a Hot Topic item to get a wristband...it was ALL fans!

[villevalo94]

:( im so mad i missed it. i wouldve flown there from AZ JUST for this. thats sweet! so you me the band??

[KTScott2000]

Yesss! They were very real & nice! Ville's pale skin was perfect porcelain & eyes gorgeous-sobriety is great for him! All of HIM members signed our guitar-our fave treasure in the home! lol

Realllly wish you had flown or driven out here

=( next time!

[villevalo94]

for SURE man! howd you find out about it, it musta been kinda secretive, or else millions of people like me wouldve shown up...

[i8love8cayenne]

uaaaau i would kill to be so close to ville:(

[lechattenoir]

umm yeah, it kinda sucks that they cut you guys out from the video at the end, but whatever, you've been on the same stage with HIM!!! i would PAY just to be there :(

[CandiceCOBAIN]

At 2:30 min don't blink...you will see them...and, we can see Kej=nji's hair throughout it! LMAO

Check out the pics on MySpace too!

[AlexandriaEve]

aww! :D

the little girl is SOOOO effin' cute!

lol

it totally looks like you all had fun, including the band :)

[KTScott2000]

really surreal...lots of funnn!

[lafilletresbonne1234]

aw theyre soo lucky to be there in the making of Bleed Well with HIM!was supposed to be there damnn.aha.looks like they havin lots of fun.even just seein them right near them,id the happiest girl on earth[:HIMis the best

[KTScott2000]

Too much fun! hehehehe Now, just waiting for the dvd...HIM rocks!

[CandiceCOBAIN]

still loving this!!!

[thum169]

I got all of there autographs the day after. I also met a couple of people who went there.

I saw that little girl there too.

[HIMLPfan]

I was there too! Except I was right in front of linde in the crowd.FUN FUN DAY! My friend Kenji is the boy dancing by Gas with the long spiked hair.

[KTScott2000]

I often hear that no one can be seen, but even though the shots were TIGHT on Ville (NATURALLY), it was cool. It was fun, and I definitely saw Kenji! Thinking that "some" fans who missed seeing HIM this time just find it easier to waste time being negative? a hater? Or just jealous? c'est la vie! LMAO

[KTScott2000]

P.S. LUCKY YOU, huh? The guys were hottt!

I may add some more videos from that day soon...

[lechattenoir]

how the HELL can you get there? auditions, good connections or what?? :P gooosh you lucky people!!!!

[YourLovingShadow]

[XxEMODRUMMERxX]

[schirenz]

my bad.. _until_, not _since_

[schirenz]

i'm not the hater of america but it bitched-up such an awesome band it used to be since 2003.

[JoveSpell]

"i'm not the hater of america but it bitched-up such an awesome band it used to be since 2003."

agree, agree...

[demian737]

ur right dude...just better in 2000 in Rockpalast...u remember??

[Jinelle0212]

Aarrgh...lucky fucking bitches...*sigh*

[SlapYourLips]

so yea Blackmera lets here you say something smart now!

your a joke making fun of kids

its pretty sad you just got told off by a 13 year old

[CandiceCOBAIN]

still enjoying all the Venus Doom songs, even more since this and the concert...

HIM come back to Los Angeles! lol

[GeekG]

but hey... THIS HAS TO BE THE REASON he is smiling and laughing all the time during the video... which is nice... so thanks for the dancers in the background.

[suomalainenkirsikka]

i expected that the video would be more interesting and unusual but it looks so primitive :-(((( i'm disappointed:-(((( i'd like to watch more videos like "The funeral of hearts", "Join me" ...cause they are really cool and not like each other...but anyway i still adore HIM lol :-))

[iamatotaljackass93]

i agree. 9999999%

[FuneralBaby]

lol

[vAmpyr616]

they are in the video a bit especially in the back during the solo... only see the side of them really though....

[rockinmom]

That kinda sucks how they didn't use any footage of the fans in the official vid. Of course I'm absolutely jealous of all you guy that were there. I just have to be happy that I've seen them at all and I'll probably never get closer than 5 feet of them.

Oh yeah, BTW...ROCK ON KATIE!!!

[SleepingVampire17]

I was in the crowd right in the front. It was amazing sucks that none of us were in the video I was telling my friends to look for me

[lovemetalrockr]

niiiice Scot!

[[it's ashlyn]]

I can kinda see you in the background!

Thats so tight and, yet again, I am VERY jealous.

[muzikaluv]

OMG! you were there!!!!! OMG! i HATE YOUUUUUU!

*sight* i wish!=(

grrrrrrrrrrrr your soooooooooooooo fucking lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=D

[Mzmurder2]

Yeah they didn't use any of the fans that came out to be apart of the video. I can't blame HIM, but still...I was there and its heartbreaking. They made us wait FOR HOURS. So sad. I still love HIM though. I like to think they tried to stand up for us that showed up to be apart of it.

[mychemicalvengeance]

LOL

they didn't put anyone in the real video,

Heroes

<3

[KTScott2000]

Actually even through the editing one can see adorable KENJI briefly! Regardless, it was a memory that happened only only that day, not duplicated-but a cool journey w/some great fans!

[irrynuka]

That's awesome! You guys are so lucky to have been there.

Thing is...I don't understand why there's no one in the actual video...

[KTScott2000]

No one was cast, it was just a shoot that happened spontaneously with MANY fans just wanting to enjoy the making and cheer HIM on in any form, big or small! Anything else was a plus! And, check out outtakes for real movies----editing is part of it all!

[Marci1]

This is excellent! Thank you for sharing! :)

The little guy wasn't sick, he felt fine, he was excited, even interviewed and was enjoying everything.

But when Ville walked on stage, he became overwhelmed, and got very shy. I really appreciated the director for returning him. He had a blast and talks about it all the time, it was a great day.

[KTScott2000]

It was a great day and everyone was really incredible. It was so last minute to have the fans w/HIM that I am glad I filmed this moment briefly. It is ALL about the journey & gratitude! The awesome journey while HIM is in the U.S.

[adyingshadow]

omg i was here.. i was on the left side of the stage. well in the pit area.. i hated the fact that the pass says the filming was from 1 to 4 when the filming didn't officially start until 5 ish and they filmed us once.. but hey it was a fun day

[hatemylife07]

bahah my friend was there, that freaky glam rocker next to linde and he was all bragging to me that he was so close to them and when the video premiered no one was in it

[KTScott2000]

Actually, I someone's hair behind Ville! So, there was LOTS of editing--at least your friend was a "part" of the journey...it was still funnnn-I may put more up! The fans were wonderful---made my hours of waiting better!!

[SlapYourLips]

It was my son Kenji's hair and you can see part of his face for a split second at 3:06 I think it is. But I'm with you, it was the journey that mattered and we sorta expected all this editing and decided not to take it personally days before we even went to the shoot. We actually knew about it a week or more before it happened!

[kittycatjl]

The style reminds me of Killing Loneliness mixed with Kiss of dawn... Or is it just me?

[Mzmurder2]

OMG i was there and yeah i heard it was soo much fun. Too bad they only filmed us in the pit once!! oh well. Ville is still beautiful when he screams!!

[KTScott2000]

Also, BURTON was very HOTTTTT---still thinking of him! ALL the other members of HIM are sexxy when they perform--we were lucky to watch them make their video! And, they still edited the pit--what's up with that?

[ReeRee805]

i am pretty sure there is more to this video. i dont think they really care if their videos are amazing theyre so fan based and into their music more than a freakin video lol. but im pretty sure theres more.

[KTScott2000]

THERE IS MORE!!! That why this is noted as "MAKING" not the actual video! All the fans had a great time being a small part of such a huge band. This was the very 1st take too---raw! And, FUNNNNNN!

[madamhim26]

i envy u!!!

[midude007]

dosent the video come out 2 day????

[chunkypuffs]

soo lucky yall were there, i wish i could meet ville

[fmarockerfreak]

thanks I sdore you!

[margay200]

where is the full videoo!!! ahh it comes out today and i cant find it! i swear im blind!

[CandiceCOBAIN]

heartagram website has problems?!

so u r not blind!

[villesluver]

I was dancing next to the little girl in this video. I'm the one in the mismatch stockings. the little boy in the video is the HIM street team leader's son. He was really sick. Thats why they took him off stage. Him and his mom were waiting in line for 7 hours so I cant blame him for feeling sick. This footage is awesome

[KTScott2000]

Liked the look! Cool stockings! Poor little boy! L.A. Street team was great! Yeah, Katie (little girl in crimson skirt next to you) was up late night before at HIM concert and up early to be 1 of 1st line for video---so we were dragging for the signing the 3rd day LOL HOW FUN WAS THAT FOR YOU???

[villesluver]

that was heavenliy. the little girl looked amazing. she rocked harder than most of the other people on stage. meeting ville was simply beautiful. but i only really got to talk to linde after the video shoot. and for margay200 the bleed well video is only available on the HIM website but you have to be a member of the fanclub to see it

[SlapYourLips]

Hi villesluver, this is Kenji's mom. Just want to say it was wonderful to meet you that day and had a good time talking with you! Take care and hope to see you again!

[XWeSleepForeverX]

Your So Lucky HIM Being In The Same Room As You But Right Up Close!

[free2hatecha]

lol :| :)) awesome :X

[ReeRee805]

you can hear me going ooooo hahah i was right next to the person taking the video!

[KTScott2000]

lol it was funnn

the waiting took forever, but the taping of that scene was fast!

lotta OOOOOOO for Ville =)

[Heartagram6six6]

Reminds me of killing loneliness

[himfan4l]

i also remember they took that little boy off the stage. i thought he was supposed to be just sitting there looking all sad but i guess he wasn't. he was so cute

[KTScott2000]

Little boy was adorable---dressed so hip too! He was off the stage so fast and so shy that Katie didn't even catch his name!

Was funnnnn though!

[CandiceCOBAIN]

Poor thing to leave, but at least he got some time next to the band. He was cute!

[himfan4l]

is the video premiere only for paying fan club members? or for those of us who are joined up for free?

[KTScott2000]

dunno

having trouble with that site

let us know if u find out!

=}

[katieboo666]

Hi,are you having trouble trying to join the membership on the site,ive been trying for days and it keps saying there's a technical error!!!

[KTScott2000]

the site has on-going perpetual problems!

seriously! just keep trying...

[katieboo666]

Thanks,I will,its just so frustrating!Appreciate your advice xx

[Blackmera]

ic a emo kid...shit. stufu little kids, they are dancing like this was a mcr song,i guess they don't know the meaning of the lyrics.

[VampireHeart613]

o shut up the people who direct the video make them dance they dont just dance to randomly dance, its for the video.

[SlapYourLips]

fuck you bitch the "dancing emo kid"

is me!

i will fucken drop kick you im a fucken rocker not some emo bitch!

go get it straight

[xXmrsValoXx]

OMG! I'm so excited to see the new video!!!!!

wish I was there :[ u guys who where dancing there - lucky bastards!

[WilhelminaValo]

It looks kinde strange ... :(

[serendipityma]

It was fun, but short... I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot more to the video than just that shoot... :)

[KTScott2000]

There is much more. That was just (like with evrything filmed) a scene with the fans. Security said after we left VILLE filmed shirtless....sucks, we missed that =( This clip is exactly and only the very 1st take of that scene!

[serendipityma]

hehehe... before we got the speech on not taking pictures because 'they wouldn't be able to use the footage' ... :P

It was fun anyway!! :)

[KTScott2000]

True, true!

But having attended the actual concert--that is all fans did was snap away instead of just enjoying the concert! All went by tooooo fast! We don't see HIM band often in the U.S.

[serendipityma]

I honestly took more pics the second night than the first, because it was the same setlist and all, but I made sure to enjoy the concert too... :)

[CandiceCOBAIN]

Everyone from HIM was nice to fans, but it was especially cool whem VILLE himself did this salute to the fans. Some of us snapped a quick pics of that-it was flirty n HOT about 1 min into this video!

[2drah]

Any vid will be hot with this band. Killing Loneliness---Ville was so gorgeous in that vid..

[Angelslovedevils69]

ville look so got in that shirt ahhhhh

[xxxmcrfan1xxx]

:D i cant wait for the new video!!!

[hellena616]

Happy Birthday Ville!

[HIMmyheart]

WE LOVE YOU VILLE!

[AriesBG]

YAHOOOO!NEW VIDEO!

[glencoco1]

jus looks like him dancing with a load of kids. i 2 hope its not like killing loneliness

[mkdragonslayer]

i just hope this is not another "killing loneliness" u.s. version type video, cuz it really looks like it...

[XBrandonScottX]

i hope its just not them dancing the whole time :S....

[himpanic]

i luv it when that man screams. god he's so fuckin sexi. p.s. happy b-day ville ;o

[KTScott2000]

YESSSS!!!!

insanely HOTTT

[CandiceCOBAIN]

YEAH! The scream LIVE really does it for me! lol

[grumpy165]

happy birthday ville too bad we cant celebrate it with u

[Daara666]

YEAH, hoy es cumpleaños de Ville Valo quisiera festejarlo con el pero no pudimos ponernos de acuerdo...como sea...felicidades Ville!!!!!!!!!

[LucifersClaws]

Happy Birthday Ville ^^

[KTScott2000]

Yeah-Happy Birthday to Ville! Love him so much! <3

[RavenVonEssex]

I was there. :)I can't wait until this video is out! Does anyone have any idea when it will be? The waiting is driving me mad!

[VampireHeart613]

it premering on monday

[CandiceCOBAIN]

Premieres Monday on the FanClub Site!

[RadicalDreamerGX]

One of my best friends is up there dancing. You can basically see her in this entire video. She's behind Ville Valo. I keep joking she'll have more screen time than some of the other band members because she's in the middle of like 3 of them.

[KTScott2000]

She was a doll-

everyone was nice

have her check this out!

They did go on to tape

way more w/o the fans!

[6Vampyyri6Atanasia6]

For what you say about the video, i can see you ""love"" HIM only for ville ¬¬

just remember the other guys of the band: lily, mige, burton and gas

the little girl is very cute

so innocent...

the video looks like KL ¬¬

well i have to wait to see the whole video ¬¬

[KTScott2000]

Ville makes HIM-he writes the lyrics n is a very prominent fron man Like with Nirvana they changed drummers many times but "had" they replaced Kurt Cobain (also songwriter/front man) there would be no Nirvana At the signing everyone was VERY VIllE obsessed lmao

From Nirvana only Dave has his own success while Krist is rarely heard from again Only if the other HIM members branched out with other bands, since they can't go solo with a instrument-we would know then?

[6Vampyyri6Atanasia6]

i dunno if is just like you say, cause everyone makes something for the music.

ville create the lyrics and explain the way that he wants to be play, and he said that lily (in this case) always read his minds about this.

if tomorrow lily or mige maybe retires from the band, it would be hard to go on with it

that's what i mean when i say this :)

i agree that ville is the most famous of the band cause he is the frontman xD

[KTScott2000]

THAT'S TRUE! The band seemed very supportive of each other. Thinking they are way used to Ville getting all the fans, and still PLAY HARD and awesome live!

[SlapYourLips]

I have also read interviews where he and Mige said that the band decided as a whole group that Ville would handle most of the media stuff, so this is a natural consequence of that and it does not seem to me the rest of the band minds all that much. Ville also said that because they play actual instruments they need more time to rehearse and so it was only right for him to take the responsibility cause all he needs to do is a quick warm up and he is good to go!

[PreySheWas]

EDIT : I ment 4

[PreySheWas]

just so you know HIM is not just Ville Valo there are 3 other members that contribute just as much to this wonderful band.

[KTScott2000]

True-awesome band! Though, VILLE is a serious front man/songwriter VILLE makes HIM & is irreplacable Though the other musicians may or may not do great w/another band as individuals since they can't go solo w/an instrument, VILLE can go solo any time =)

[valochick]

Actually their are 4 other members! if you are going to post a comment at least know what you're talking about!

[napoleonhaswings]

They sounds cool.

[PelataValo]

they all look like children!

[KTScott2000]

Some were minors--the NEWER and younger generation of HIM fans! It's who attended the concert, video and signings while HIM was in Los Angeles! I am sure HIM wants young fans, not just an old crowd hehehehehe =p Way better music than pop for kids eh?

[himcrimsongate]

I wonder if all or you who say we love Ville know he's the singer of a band...who deserves to be loved like him as well...

[RandomGirlCarrie]

Dude rawk!

[Uruvyel]

Por dios, solo espero q sea un FAKE!! xDDD

Ah x cierto, Ville esta pa mojar pan y repetir =D~ <3

[xslightlytwisted]

Hey I was there I was the sucurity gaurd in blue hey you missed the whole shoot with the green screen and he was shirtless guess you just have to wait till the video

[SlapYourLips]

OH GOD, your comment just sent chills down my spine! I CAN'T WAIT! I WANT TO SEE IT NOW!!!!!

[fuckineedanewname]

FUCKING AWSOME!

i wanted to be in the video but it was all the way over in cali T_T

<333

[lisamarie5300]

That little girl was the best part of the whole video shoot!!!!

Rock on grrrly :)

[Aneri]

[SupaBwandin]

[Blackroses130]

[CandiceCOBAIN]

I attended this and it was FUN! Some of the fans got on stage, and were so excited they were VERY nervous-but, hey on stage with VILLE! My sister is the 7 year old in the crimson skirt and she only had love & fun for the moment. This was only the first "take" I was jealous for a minute--but WE LOVE VILLE! And true Ville fans!

[anahiderose]

lol i thought you'd write something like this XD
