Hahaha. Another good interview, Erin.

um...... i cant believe u didnt ask him to make out with me.... i thought we were friends erin!!!

you guys rock hard. luv to all. nulltenaciousnikkim

you look like marc bolan in that pic.....

R. Kelly needs love too....


Valo, Try not to crap and vomit blood anymore. cheers to good health.

p.s looking forward to hear new music from ya'll.

Wow that was an insanely good interview!

The new album rocks and im waiting to see yall on the road.

I saw we kidnap Micheal Jackson and force him to make love to R.Kelly.

Woot!

I love the last line "At the end of the day i just want to be happy"

I hope we all do what we do for that reason.

at he end of the day i just want to be happy... nice.

very funny, i didn't expect that.

Valo is my Idol. HIs style and persona are what rock is about.
I'm glad to say that I was at their first canadian show in Toronto and it was amazing, just like the other 3 times i've seen them play. Never disappointing.

Nice =] Loved the interview! It was a great update on whats going on with you guys. Already bought the new album and i'm so completely addicted to it i don't leave home without it ^_^

Hope all stays well!! I had an AMAZING time at the sacramento show (Projeckt Revolution) and i can't wait to see you again! Hopefully next time i can meet you guys! =]

I THINK... Him its an amazing band(my favorite band... i have an altar , with candles and a lot of photographs...every monday i cut myself and bleed out on the top of a table , where i have Mige, Linde , Gas , Burton ,and Ville pics...c´mon , im just kiddind, but indeed i would die for them), but Ville valo, like the lead singer, puts the ingredient make the band darker and indeed more interesting.
The interview was great , with that black humour i love but also opening a tiny window to try to understand the dynamic of Him , and the energies and interests , that give them the inspiration for their songs.
Ville, really from the bottom of my heart, u are like a modern Baudelaire, with a heavy weight on your shoulders , but facing the obstacles with a smile , even if its "bittetsweet" laugh.
and the rest of the guys Burton, Gas , Mige and Linde are like other damned poets, but translating with their instruments the chords of joy, misery, happiness and guilt , we all humans must feel in the long road of life.

My congratulations for the interview , Erin Broadley, and i hope (with all the strenght i have) Him continues enchanting and cursing us with the lyrics and music they are used to create.
Ville Valo, u have stolen my heart and im glad u did it.
Because , indeed like u said "at the end of the day i just want to be happy"
I want to be happy too, even if the tears are a price a need to pay ...
Cheers for all Him guys
muamua

Good Interview... Do I get the guitar now?

How do I left comment? Srsly great interview. Wings of A Butterfly is one of my fav songs evar.

I was becoming disturbed at the amount of pissing R. Kelly was doing throughout that interview.

Thank you, Ville for guaranteeing me an extremely weird mental image every single time I walk through the rain from now on.

I loved the show HIM put on at the House of Blues in New Orleans. It was too bad HIM were delayed by a year because of Katrina, but hey, the show was definitely worth the wait! I hope they come back soon; I need another dose of love metal. Best wishes.

Ville Valo seems like a really down to earth kinda dude. Most rock stars try and glamorize their life through the interview but it seems like he is keepin it real.
That whole part about adding definitions to the word love in the dictionary should be easy. There are like a million definitions just ask everybody what it means for them.
Thats a Dope idea tho. Good Luck.

That was awesome.

OMG I love Ville ... He is so awesome and so hot and I love love love his voice.

Great interview. Congrats on all your success- esp. in recovery- remember- it's a daily sacrifice of will.
Keep up the fucking rocking work. LOVE YOU

There's a lot about R Kelly in this interview and lots of mentioning piss I love the humour....

Being able to adapt, and adjust to a career that careens in an upwards spiral of success sounds so hard to cope with especiall with the fusion of the self with the band image.... I have massive respect that Ville went and sorted his business out. I suppose that's the difference from rock star to rock genius....

I must say, once again, it feels brilliant to be seduced by dark brilliant lyrics and melodies that flow like blood..... Saw the very talented gents in London 2 or 3 times, and look forward to their Vegas show. It'll be my first time seeing them stateside


oh. And I have me the safehaven in life and death rings along with the most amazing pocket watch ever.....I LOVE HIM!!!!

So I'm Jealous of HIM.... My husband has been in a band for a little while now and cant seem to get noticed by the "industry" how I would love to travel with him.................

awesome interview!

"Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think."-Jean De La Bruyre

The interview proved this quote very well. The great thing is that the two categories are not distinct. One can straddle the line, and it is a thin line, between comedy and tragedy, feeling and thinking. The problem is that the same thing looks totally different from one side of the line to the other. In order to get the balanced view that we seek, you have to straddle the line. Once you've taken the position straddling the line, you can accept, as Ville says, that there is humor in the melancholy, and melancholy in even the most humorous things. If more people realized this, I think the world would be a better place.



HIM kicks ass...you guys need to come to IOWA!
