During the pandemic, Ville walked into a phone-repair place (where I still work at) and he was so nice. He let everybody pass him in the line and was like "just go first, I have time!". He was thinking about getting a new phone, and I actually showed him mine and later he came back for another problem and said that he bought the one that I had :D:D But yeah, seemed like a caring and awesome guy! Not a hint of arrogance or anything.
He's so humble... I wonder if he realizes the impact he's had on the music world and how his voice is one of the most timeless, incredible voices to ever grace popular music.
@@borislav730 hmm its cold at winter. Santa Claus won't come out off a chimney😂. We are nice people. We like beer, sauna and ice hockey. Juhannus is a mid summer party were we drink alcohol and usally celebrate that in a cottage near lake. We got a many good hevy metal bands. Thats all i can think right now.
He really doesn't know the huge icon and influence he's been for many of us. I adore that, he's great, soooo great and still he looks and sounds so human. This was such a great interview. I have no words to say how much I love this man!
Just saw Ville in myrtel beach and he looked and sounded wonderful. So comfortable on stage and looked like he enjoyed himself. I've been following Villes music for almost 20 years and it's such a joy and true treasure to witness his dive back into it all. The album is such a reflection of Villes heart it is one of my favorite works. I really hope this is the start of something beautiful musically for him.
He still feels like an “infiltrator and the fanboy who cleverly got in” - Oh, he still doesn’t realise how talented he is and how adored his music is😍♥️ Ville, of course there WILL BE HIGH DEMAND for your next and next next album 🤩
When the interviewer said "I can't even imagine you without eyeliner" in the beginning of the video I couldn't help but chuckle, because it's so true, that black eyeliner is so Ville
I have missed him. It is so strange to have been listening to his music for 25 years. It is amazing he is back. It feels like an old friend has arrived. I loved that he mentioned how does it feel for a painter. As a pro painter, yes, we embrace solitude. What helps most of the painters is listening to music. It is that what we all need when we paint. The main reason for arguments 20 years ago at the art academy was the music we would play;))). Just painting in the studio is easy. What gets very hard, are mural commissions somewhere else, where you stand alone with a wall.
I'm a musician, who studied arts years ago and I can totally relate to what you said about an old friend arriving and I also listened to music most of the times I'd paint or work on some design projects. I think, now I don't listen to music as much just for enjoyment, because you can't do it, when you're making music/practicing 😅 but most of things I do now in my life are because of his influence (arts school, music school and even my ability to speak English and write songs in it). So happy to see him doing well and releasing music. Can't believe I'm going to his show in a couple of weeks and also releasing one of my most goth-inspired songs a day before 🖤
Wonderful interview 😍 Ville seems so proud and excited, yet so humble and it’s so heartwarming and comforting to hear him talk about music and his music like that! Also the questions asked and the research done was top notch, great job 🙌🏼 Loved this, thank you NME! 💙 So excited for Neon Noir!!
”With age you get more shades to blacks and greys and everything in between.” Loved that, so fitting. His scale never reaches white even if his name is Valo (light).
Dear Ville, Neon Noir is an absolute masterpiece. You are a brilliant musician and poet and I feel blessed to exist in the universe at the same time as you. Thank you for comforting my soul in ways that nothing else can.
Ville has been my favorite artist for more than half my life at this point and I don't think that will ever change. Hopefully there will be plenty more beautiful music to come.
Been a fan for so many years and I was incredibly sad when HIM disbanded. It’s so nice to see him doing well and to witness his evolution as an artist. Welcome back, Ville. Looking forward to seeing you in April 🖤🤘🏽
I love this gentleman. And I’m so happy for him, I hope he lets himself be proud of the album he has created, because it’s beyond beautiful. I saw him live recently and I will never forget his huge smiles the entire time he performed. Amazing musician and human 🖤
I could listen him for hours, and go deeper and deeper. a lot stuff on life side and artistic. glad he answered openly on some topics, also cheers to guy that asked questions. best
Ville Valo, you are loved and missed here in the states and I am looking forward to seeing you, as are countless other fans of HIM, perform your personal creation in April. May this journey be fruitful and rewarding.
This is the man who warmed up my heart and blessed my ears in times of confusion, solitude, and death. The man I love unconditionally, the voice who told me I was so beautiful when I thought otherwise, and the soul who taught me to express my emotions fully as raw as they come. Thank you 🖤
Watching a Ville interview at dawn while it's raining outside. A combination of my favorites. Loved the interview. Ville looks great. He also felt comfortable enough to open up so we got to hear about a lot of things from his personal life to his career. Looking forward to his album. Wish him the absolute best because he deserves it ❤
Hahaha, oh man, I thought he said "a TOURIST BUREAU of his idols" and I was like "well that's an expression I haven't heard before" but it also kinda made sense 😆
Wow so amazing to see Ville again. HIM is my favorite band since I was a kid and now that I’m an adult and seeing where time has taken us I’m still so much a fan ❤
LOVE YOU VILLE! Looking back to the time, when I chose you as my idol and not having any regrets 23 years later. Such an intelligent, talented, humble and funny person!
Amazing interview. This man never cease to amaze me. If not, inspires me more than ever before. I do understand and relate to his recording sessions during the pandemic. I lost my brother and mother due to covid and was isolated, lonely and stuck in the apartment where my brother died. Couldnt see my gf, now fianceé, nor my daughter in any way since they too, had covid. Since I was all alone, I used my loneliness and sadness in making something that i've practiced, but never got to pressed the recording button. music. From the writing, to the instrumentations, to recording and mixing and mastering. Its been a journey. This man has always been an inspiration to me and although, my music is far from his style of writing, i will always credit him as one my idols that pushed me to write music. Got to see HIM a few times, including their farewell tour and very much looking forward to his upcoming tour, which is exciting because this will be my fianceé's first time seeing Ville live! So glad to have you back, Ville! -If anyone is interested, my music is available in all streaming services, including Spotify and Bandcamp! Just released two new songs on bandcamp and will be available on all other services, starting January 23rd! The band name is Archaic Mortality. Thank you in advance-
Sounds are vibrations of the air that a person can hear thanks to the Earth's atmosphere. The sounds of the Ville's voice and music are vibrations that are heard not only by the ears, but we hear these vibrations with our soul and heart, first of all. I am grateful to the cosmos for having created our planet and created Ville Valo on it. And that I live in the era of this man! May his creativity be eternal...
I hear you breath so far from me. I feel your touch so close and real. And I know. My church is not of silver and gold. Its glory lies beyond judgment of souls. Straight poetry. One of the the best lyricists.
I remember so distinctly the time I first listened to his music and what it still means to me. At that time they had just released Screamworks and like everybody I know, the only popular song was Join Me. Screamworks completely blew me away. So much heart put into these songs. It still gives me the shivers hearing that first song, I can't even fully explain it but it tells a story that resonates so much with what I feel and what I want by hearing music. I hope he is thriving again in this art that he is creating. Can't wait to hear what he has in store for us!
I am definitely one of those younger fans, i never got to see HIM live since i was underaged (for 2 months....) when they came to my city on their farewell tour. So excited about the album 🤩
I am not a younger fan but I still never got to see them because I was in care and wasn't allowed to, and then later when I could go, I was always too broke. I sat in a bar next door the venue where they played their last show in my city with a friend who had a ticket but I didn't. I was so jealous but I guess we did our own little farewell thing for them. Now that Ville is back I have had a ticket on my shelf for the past year, ready to go. I'm not missing out this time.
Never been a fan of HIM ( I only knew and liked their 2 hit songs) but.....WOW! He is such a clever, intelligent and talkative person! U can hear he knows a lot about philosophy,art or history. ...Talking with such a person is a very nice experience!
what a beautiful person. Really enjoyed the interview and all the things he had to say. Kudos to the interviewer for this respectful yet informative chat. thank you 🙌
Been listening to him for 20 years and I finally got the chance to see him live a couple of nights ago, it was absolutely incredible. Ville has one of the greatest voices and ranges ever. (When I say him I mean Ville as VV not the band HIM lol)
Great interview! Genuine interviewer and a marvelous Ville Valo. I was so happy to hear the words toward Bam. I know this might be controversial, but I hope that they both meet each other again for the good and it maybe could be also very helpful for Bam and his situation. Anyway, great to have Ville back in the music scene! It's a bittersweet feeling for me as HIM was part of my teenage years since 1997 when i was 14yrs old..
It’s time for Ville to be back. HIM was laid to rest in 2017 and was a great thing to be able to witness. This new record is incredible from start to finish. See you in Detroit!
That’s so sweet that Ville knows most of us are here because of HIM. But Ville, your music is such nostalgia whilst being fresh. I wasn’t expecting to hear the old stuff, but I’m here for whatever you decide to do. :)
SO excited for the vinyl release of the new solo album that hopefully will be arriving in a week or so, and to see him live in May here in Charlotte NC! I had tickets to their farewell tour stop here in 2017 and ended up having to miss it, and frankly never thought another chance to see Ville perform would ever happen.
That made my day! Thank you both for the genuine interview and to you Ville! I remember in 2000, in Bragança/Portugal for the first time! That was an epic concert! So glad to have you back! 😃🤘🙏🖤
I definitely want to go when he swings by Cleveland in April. His new stuff is good and I’ll always support his music. Maybe one day HIM will reunite but until then it’s nice to have something coming from Ville because his songwriting and vocals are usually top notch. Not to mention he’s a good man. You can tell how sincere he is when giving interviews. It’s nice seeing your favorite artists be a humble down to earth person instead of above everyone else or aloof.
Great interview! Got to know a lot about what I wanted) Very atmospheric and home-like) You go, Ville! Hope you have success and we hear many more of your albums!
I'm so glad hes back in the limelight. I'm my teens back then when he was in HIM you couldn't really get such deep interviews and insights because they were larger than life. Cheers VV.
PS: happiest Ville gave us this gift. Can't wait to see him peforming new songs...thrilling idea 🙏🙏🙏☺🤩 thank you for one full of deep fun quirky interview
Good or bad, I wish the subject of Bam would be left in the past. This is about Ville and his thriving solo career. There’s no bad blood, no need to keep poking at it. Regardless of that, this is an amazing interview and I’m very exciting to se Ville grow in a new way.
Bam needs to stop bringing up Ville as well though. He referred to him as his "favourite" recently after literally blaming him for his eating disorder and addiction like a year ago...
@@VampiraVonGhoulscout no seriously!! I truly think Bam needs to completely separate himself from Ville/HIM. Ville doesn’t owe Bam anything, Ville didn’t force Bam into these drinking habits. Even if Bam wanted to be at the same level as Ville in the early 2000s, Ville got sober. Bam didn’t.
@@wuxiang91 I completely agree. He burned a lot of bridges and he has no one to blame but himself. I know grief is one hell of a thing but he chose to go down the path he did.
I try to explain to my wife or friends ever since I heard infernal Majesty 95 Demo. It's very very very rare to have a artist/band whose music got better and better or would change artistical inspiration in their sound and would still have songs in the album that was better than previous. Being a teenager when he did his first Show with Bam n the DVDs I begged for of both of them was such a great experience. Those years from like 95-2005 were such a golden arc for me seems so much simpler even taken out the aspect of being a kid lol it was more connected and had at least some meaning Compared my Existentialist and Pessimistic philosophical values now
Ville Valo looks so good! He was looking a little rough for a few years. I wonder if he’s stopped drinking or at least slow down. Super happy to see him making music. He’s a legend.
He's very down the earth guy, despite the success that is internationally recognized. It must feel incredible to get that kind of success, especially when you're from a small country like Finland.
During the pandemic, Ville walked into a phone-repair place (where I still work at) and he was so nice. He let everybody pass him in the line and was like "just go first, I have time!". He was thinking about getting a new phone, and I actually showed him mine and later he came back for another problem and said that he bought the one that I had :D:D But yeah, seemed like a caring and awesome guy! Not a hint of arrogance or anything.
🥰
Aww, that's cool! Thanks for sharing, it's great to hear little stories like that 😊
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this so people can have a better idea of what he's actually like 😊❤
Which phone was it tho?🙂
I need his number 😂..❤❤❤
He's so humble... I wonder if he realizes the impact he's had on the music world and how his voice is one of the most timeless, incredible voices to ever grace popular music.
Typical Finnish person
@@borislav730 its complicated
@@borislav730 they are nice in general but its this thing that some Finnish people are humble If they get a compliment.
Agree.

The fact that he recorded everything on his own is just insanely impressive. Just shows how truly talented he is. The new album is so good!
"Happy music makes me sad, sad music makes me happy" - finally someone explained how I feel too 🙂
Same
He’s still as beautiful as ever and a god given voice to match. Excited to see him in Los Angeles for his solo tour.❤️
This man is absolutely amazing and extremely smart. I love him and I hope he has all the success and happiness.
I still love and admire him as much as I did twenty years ago. What a wonderful, inspiring man.
He’s such a noble soul ❤. Welcome back VV, we’ve missed you A LOT

You can tell how sincere he is when giving interviews. It’s nice seeing your favorite artists be a humble down to earth person instead of above everyone else or aloof.
CLEVELAND ROCKS!
Thanks for this great interview! So glad Ville is releasing more music. I hope to see the Neon Noir tour this year!
Такой мудрый, скромный, мистический, очень глубокий человек..🖤
Great interview! Got to know a lot about what I wanted) Very atmospheric and home-like) You go, Ville! Hope you have success and we hear many more of your albums!
Hitto että olen ylpeä tästä jätkästä! So proud!
He seems like a really nice guy.
Huge him fan, saw them live back in the day. Just got tickets to see Ville in Vegas in April. This interview was awesome.
I missed him sooo much, thank you for the interview!!!

Ville Valo still one of my Heroes 💜
Has no idea how much he has meant to so many people
He is as usual awesome, thx for his music and for him staying same for all those years
Ville Valo looks so good! He was looking a little rough for a few years. I wonder if he’s stopped drinking or at least slow down. Super happy to see him making music. He’s a legend.
He stopped drinking over 10 years ago and also quit smoking.
His mind is so focused now and his brilliance shines brighter than ever before! ♥️
The album is really great, thanks Ville
He's very down the earth guy, despite the success that is internationally recognized. It must feel incredible to get that kind of success, especially when you're from a small country like Finland.
