Listening to HIM is like getting hit over the head with a valentine, except on the front of the card, on the cartoon cupid, frontman Ville Valo has drawn devil horns and a dangling cigarette and signed "love, your sweet 666." The valentine wafts faintly of tobacco, not perfume, and on the inside you’re more likely to find a couple drink tickets to the local bar instead of candy hearts. Based in Helsinki, Finland, the band HIM—completed by bassist Mige, guitarist Linde, drummer Gas and keyboardist...

"Being that music is an art form and artists are expected to be able to talk about their work, cite references and place it within a historical context"

Great interview, but damn. That comment is just....this is why people roll their eyes at artists and art critics. Somethings simply ARE. There's no resume or requirements for art. Especially the "historical context"-what with the "history" of modern music and rock barely in existance. Nobody is BORN legendary or historical. Time is all that will tell...

Wonderful interview, though.

Ah, lordie. Being that I've lived all over the place for the past few years I have the honor of saying that I was listening to HIM when the first album came out in Europe. I'm so excited that the Americans are getting to share in the love metally goodness because really, everyone should hear HIM. Everyone should also go see them live. (watch out for all the little teenygoths though, my god, they push and it's not fun almost fainting because you can't get any damn air)

As someone else said, this interview made my day worthwhile.

No friggin way!! I love this band. Awesome awesome interview!

Beautiful mistakes, I like that. "There’s always reasons to make mistakes. Because then you do new mistakes next time. So they’re beautiful mistakes."

I am stoked about their CA tour dates. I am so in the mood for HIM right now!

Edit: so stoked I can't spell...

It's nice to see HIM finally getting recognition here in the states, but I have to admit it's kind of bittersweet. I liked it a little better when you could run into somebody that recognized the Heartagram and you knew that they were really into HIM, and not just someone that saw Bam running around with one. But great interview nonetheless.

wow...i'm really in the minority here, but i gotta say, i don't like HIM at all....haven't since i first heard them a few years ago...just me i guess. what's his name seems like a decent guy, and i totally agree with him as far as the white stripes, jet, ect. thing...and p.s. i fucking hate jet so much, hehe.
