This is one of the best interviews I’ve heard with Ville. You’re getting to hear about a complete other side to him and, his feelings towards music and existence. Thank you!
Always wondered why Ville and Lauri seem to have different accents. How ever the Finland language as alway sound as if the almost purrrrr as they speak. Im fascinated and in love with it. Ville voice is very soothing to me. ❤
This is such a wonderful interview, I am so happy you both had familiarity before going into the interview. I love the jacket story, it really shows what kind of character Ville has as a person for his fellow man. I’ve always gotten the vibe that he has a big heart for other men who treat him kindly, and I can hear the admiration in your voice and I think it’s sweet as hell (as a female fan, over the years I’ve come to appreciate his generous kindness towards his male fans) I loved hearing about the songwriting process through the pandemic, hearing what kinds of thing he chooses to focus on, and like hearing that he chooses to be optimistic and hopeful is beautiful. Also enjoyed hearing him self reflect on Venus doom and his feelings towards some of his older work, as someone who grew up listening to his music, I feel like hearing how he navigated his youth is helpful for me who is in the ages he was while HIM got big. It’s really a miracle how grounded of a person he is despite everything he’s been through (fame, sex icon, etc) It’s been a while since Ville did an interview like this, I could have seriously listened to you guys talk about Neon Noir, the pandemic, existentialism, bonding stories for HOURS…some people post 2 hours of interview footage of other musicians and I don’t get the value I got out of these 25 minutes I also enjoyed your interview style! Thank you for making this video, I also loved the thumbnail and was not disappointed by how good this was
Omg Ville!!! 😮 I didn't think I would ever have the chance to put a message out there that you could possibly read. I found you about the time when Right here in my Arms came out. I am so happy that you didn't end it with just HIM as your only career in the industry cuz you are so amazing. Well Im sending you love ❤ 🌟
JAMESSSS!! This interview is stellar. 🖤 You ask such wonderful questions. It’s nice to hear Ville speak freely about his experience & creative processes. Great work, man!
I'm on a bit of a binge of Ville interviews right now... and I just listened to one where the interviewer was american and Ville's english was more neutral and now talking to a brit, only 5 minutes in his english already gets a slight tint of british. and before, I heard an interview done by a german interviewer who spoke english with a slight german accent and there I could hear a very faint finnish lilt in Ville's english. 😊and it gives me great joy. as well as the rest of the interview. because he is a little freak in the best possible way and for other little freaks, like myself, it's always wholesome and interesting to listen to a little freak. being thrown back into teenager feelings of derealisation and depersonalisation (2 different flavours of dissociation)... art as a coping mechanism or the way to understand the world... and.... of course... the many different shades of black. I realate too hard.
I live in the best climate but I act like I live on North, I think it's not always the climate, it's the way we are. Nice interview. I get what Ville says, that way of thinking is my world. ❤
Aw James! It was 2006 in Milano. March I think. That's because I spoke to you for some hours while we were hanging out with Silke and some HIM fans back at the hotel hall. Very cool conversation, it was. ✨
Irritatingly nice isn’t a complement. He definitely looked annoyed the second time the interviewer said that. Mostly good questions, but some of it is shit comments and questions by the interviewer.
@@spoookmagazine Good answer! Unfortunately, there are too many of his fans who constantly feel the need to protect this man. In fact, he doesn't need it at all. Ville Hermanni Valo has been in this business for decades and knows exactly what he is doing and how to react
Nah I don't believe he was annoyed... Especially considering the fact that they knew each other before this interview. It felt like two old friends chatting, stop taking everything so seriously.... I wanna know @spoookmagazine if you took him up on his offer of meeting up with him backstage.
He seems like the kind of person who needs to always create.
This is one of the best interviews I’ve heard with Ville. You’re getting to hear about a complete other side to him and, his feelings towards music and existence. Thank you!
This is the sort of comment that makes me pleased I do what I do. Fancy subscribing to the channel?
This guy is a true artist, everything he creates is so amazing
I love him obsessively
Me too❤❤❤❤
As in HIM or Ville bc if it’s Ville you’re stalking him.
Hey, so I am thinking the same about him myself. When you start relating his songs to how you feel about Ville then I think it means your in love. ♡
feel the same way 🙈😳💋💘
Such a sweetheart and yes, a kind soul and a true gentleman ❤❤❤
Es verdad, lo amo
my absolute dream man 💋💘🙈💟🥰
17:55 I don’t know if there is an award for nicest man alive but if there is Ville Valo must be entered into this contest
I love how relaxed and outspoken he was in this interview! classic Ville lol 💓

Proud fan for over 20 years ♥
I got the honor to see him live in Philly a few weeks ago. It was truly remarkable to witness!
Fab interview. Ville is such an amazing person. It’s a true blessing to have him back in our lives ♥️
Subscribe to the channel and I'll try to get him back at some point!
I’m so gutted I missed seeing ville doing his tour in London last month darn train strikes! Such a gentleman and well spoken sexy vampire !❤❤❤

Thankyou! If you subscribe to the channel I promise to keep publishing more of this sort of thing!
I disagree about Venus Doom, that album is incredible
Agreed it’s my favorite
It’s one of my favourites too
Yes one of my favourites too
@shilohivy4590 You write that you find "Venus Doom" incredible - which makes me wonder who or what you are contradicting?
What an interview! Ville is one of the last true rock legends
Thankyou! And amen to that! Subscribe to the channel and I promise to keep more of this sort of thing coming your way

I wouldn't say that Ville is "Irritatingly Nice" or Irritating AT ALL! He's Polite & Humble.

It's ALL in your approach. This guy has his OWN approach. So you're going to get a different color of Ville.
This is one of the best compliments I've ever had

Oh! Lovely to meet you again!
@@spoookmagazine Indeed ^^ although I'm not sure if you remember me

@@spoookmagazine yep❣️
@@erikagrapesmusic YES!
Nice interview 👍
H.I.M. is my favorite band in the world. I remember when they came to Puerto Rico for the first and last time... Im glad I went.
very good interview 👋🙂
Its the same one I heard last year on Spotify :)
@@HeartagramGirl30 yes, it goes back before that European tour or barely... but it's still a good interview all the same
@@sandraeire6629 I wasnt sure whether or not you knew so i had let you know :)
@@HeartagramGirl30 I knew...but it's still cool
@@sandraeire6629 Its awesome to see Videos of interviews besides hearing on audio :)
I could listen to Ville talk all day. Not a fan of how the interviewer told him he was “irritatingly nice”. Who says that to someone?!
I do!
@@spoookmagazine 👍and it was fine like that, especially when I consider how other rock stars present themselves in interviews 😂
I just wanna set there and hear him all day all night 🥵
Subscribe to Spoook and I'll try to get him back at some point!
Only if you bring me there !
@@nouf22244 Hmmm

it is, cause you cant take it for granted that people will always be nice to you 🤷♀🙉
