It's not been a great day so far, and this scan isn't exactly promisssing; but there are.. . Ho ho ho, so, that fat bearded twat with red wine stains all over his jacket who works at the UK magazine distribution depot in Exeter and pukes up every time he drinks sherry, turned back the clock and made Christmas Day into Christmas Eve again. No problemo. Sober up fatboy, shovel yerself out of your hole and drop your goods down out chimneys tomorrow instead. We can wait to hear about Ville's secret world, a day, yeah, we can wait a day.
so, as a a-pair-of-teeff, I bring you Hand Solo's letter -
so, Ville really does have a small pecker. Ahem. But hey, while we're at it, some more blurb, soot and stormtrooper free -
move along Stormtrooper, to..
HIM, on the hinterland.
And finally, cutting across all cultural boundaries there is Iranian metal in this month's Metal Hammer, which surely gives you the biggest reason to be cheerful. Ho ho ho.
I try to go by 'no expectations, no disappointments' lately -as much as I always seem so excited about everything:P- esp. when it comes to Kerrang! The snow up there has delayed the deliveries here as well :/ Europe seems like a small village in situations like these, everything seems so close^^
You can see how magazines twist things to sound more entertaining, or to sell magazines. It's always interesting to follow album promos for that reason. But yeah, the "Ville Valo" byline is definitely at work here. Where would these magazines be if they didn't place an artist in a box and always sell them that way - one dimensional indeed. I'm hoping the rest of the interview is far more in depth. A blurb on the question page makes it a possibility.. So I'm hoping they step away from the sensationalism to be real for a moment. So far everything leading up to this article has been crap. So I'm hoping for a nice surprise.
My own personal view is that metal music, more than most other music genres, is like theatre and as such the listener interprets their own reality based on the lyrics and the energy. So, I'm not sure how real an article in Kerrang! is ever going to be.
Thanks so much for these :) I always thankful whenever someone scans anything, because it's the only way I can see HIM in magazines... None of these exists here where I live :/ And I'm more and more proud with every positive review (so far -every review) like I made the album. I'm happy for them and I hope the album makes it, like everyone is expecting.
I'm not getting my hopes up. Reviews can be very positive, but that's not a guarantee, that fans actually like it. I mean (and don't slash me for this), Dark Light was such a weak album, and the reviews, if I remember correctly, were very good.
He wrote that cd when he had a crush on someone at that time, and instead of just telling her, he wrote an album. I'm afraid the album will be too soft.
I'm not sure if I will like this cd as much as Venus Doom or Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666, but we'll see. It wont be long now, so we can judge if those reviews about this cd were correct.
I'm not going to buy Kerrang, the scans will be posted here anyway. Saves the Kerrang-deprived HIM-fans (incl. me) money! haha
Yeah, it's called sensationalism. Ville himself said there was no relationship. I think Ville is just more metaphorically speaking - the album will probably focus on the good aspects of relationships as opposed to the bad. The past albums have much related love to death and other negative things. So maybe this album will be different in that respect. But the writing in Kerrang makes it sound like he had a relationship when really, it's just an angle to sell the album. So many girls will wander around talking about some "lucky girl" when really, she wasn't lucky at all heh. (Cause nothing came out of it)
I think Ville likes having muses from afar. So far in his life he's been more romantically involved with death than anyone else. So now he's looking to step away from that, or at least from what he's said recently so far. Out of death, and into the realm of the living...which is why the Frankenstein reference was cute.
What's with the reviewer over-romanticising Ville's falling in love? This is all pretty much taken from Metal Hammer's podcast, reused tsk tsk, and Ville didn't state his past love like that at all lol. Bring in sales I 'spose?? Anyway I'm very excited. I love electronic and I think HIM could do it VERY well.
Sobriety clearly suits Ville. Heed those words Ville. Just got the Kerrang issue where Ville talks about wanting to drink again which is his most obnoxious interview ever and I've never found him to be so hopefully he'll keep on the halel and hearty road. I wish we could all hear the CD too! Sounds great!
Thanks so much for these scans! I myself had a surprise gift when I came home from work tonight. I have a sub to Inked magazine and Kat von D is on the cover of the latest issue, which was waiting for me on my table. Was I shocked to see Ville and also The 69 Eyes featured inside. I will try to scan tomorrow, as I don't have a scanner at home. There is a 2-page interview in there with Ville and 3 very nice pictures. Sweet dreams everyone. Tomorrow awaits.
Thank you so much for this, you're a star, as usual. I'm really looking forward to the album now! Love Metal is my fave one, so if Screamworks is in a similar vein to that then I'm going to be one extremely happy customer.
small peckers? hmm, that reminded me of one particular interview where Ville was talking about how he doesn't like to be a support band on a tour and then he goes on to say we have tiny, little egos and tiny little peckers. Then the interviewer says "hey, nothing wrong with that!" and Ville bursts into giggles, and the panicked interviewer immediately corrects the misunderstanding by saying "I meant the ego." and Ville goes, 'yeah, we'll talk about that later!" :D I esp. love the fact that Ville calls those manly things 'pecker'; 'Pecker' is so...i don't know, cute? it makes it sound like it's not a big deal :-P
He's just joking as always)) I saw a lot of videos and I can not accept that his dick is small ^_^ Moreover he said long time ago in interview that it's length is about 18-20 sm)) I think it's good enough, isn't it?=)
talking about his pecker makes me LOL! and i of course have seen the proof that his leftie is by no means small ;) but the funny thing is that my mom has also seen those and (in an attampt to annoy me, i beleive)she keeps telling me that his boner is fake and he has nothing underneath but crumpled peice of cloth :D me and my mom always have heated discussions over Ville's thingy ;)
thank u so much for the scans sweatheart! i'll read them as soon as i get home :)) just wondering, which Iranian Metal band was issued? i'm from Iran myself, and i'd like to know who they are. thank u!
I just saw this today at the mall but I didn't buy it cause i thought $18 for a 1 1/2 article is way too much for a student to buy. *sigh* but I didn't know there was another page... oh no.
