I hope he does feel proud and accomplished. Very few musicians ever managed to pull off composing an entire album and recording all instruments by themselves. This man right here is a LEGEND❤
You can tell he's proud of it even at his shows. I went to the show in Dallas Texas 4/25/2023. And everytime he played one of his neon noir songs and the crowd was really into it, he had a smile on his faceq
I guess he is even happier because the people accept him as VV, and support him all the way, with or without the band. I can see he appreciate now more the fans, his relation is closer to them.
So very nice to hear him speaking with such enthusiasm 👏 😀 the album is great! It certainly has many ways to it as he says. Pure VV. He was truly missed.
I love how open is Ville about his musical influences in this new album, and the fact that he loves Depeche Mode (one of my favourite bands) makes me like him even more! Thanks for this awesome interview 🙌
Unbelievable how 25 years of HIM, Ville primarily focusing on singing and now with his solo album taking on all the aspects of a song, vocals, guitar, bass, drums etc. still putting out a refreshing album and nostalgic sense of HIM vibes. Great album and i’m happy he’s still chasing music. 🤘🏼
Thank you Ville for an amazing concert in London. It brought back memories of good and special times. My dream came true. Greetings from a Polish fan 💜
I love Ville so much. His music has followed me 2/3rds of my life and I connect so many feelings and life stages with it. Visited his concerts in Bremen and Leipzig and it was incredible. Seeing him on the stage, healthy, smily and with his new songs and old songs made me so happy and emotional. What a great artist, I'm so thankful for him ❤
I think he became a better and wiser person after the depression he had during the pandemic. I see this new album as a journey through the dark night of the soul and his current girlfriend was a kind of constant and saving presence that helped him get out of the abyss he was in, as he says in Neon Noir - “From the abyss I pirouette my way back to you”.
Indeed, many greats did their own thing, Prince, Kravitz, and Stevie Wonder, giants of the rock and pop industry. Like Ville, they had someone mix and master or even play the music in session, but they pretty much wrote entire albums. They heeded their muse, unlocked all that brilliance, and created unparalleled works of art. Ville adds "Neon Noir" to that list. Since the album has been released, I have yet to skip one-day playing it. I will be able to sing the entire thing when I see VV in May.
I love the discussion of how the album title can be interpreted... for me "Neon Noir" invoked a mix of the imageries of blinding brightness and darkness, and made me think of the HIM album title "Dark Light" but as a contrast to it.
Ville can’t wait to see and hear you live . Romania loves you ,see you at romexpo .Btw ,I love Gone with the sin ,I sang it about 50 times today,man it’s a true masterpiece since 1998.Thank you for all your musical gifts .
I remember HIM music from late 90', early 2000'. Since than my music tast has changed but sometimes I still listen "join me". VV has very unique vocal, very deep and sensual, masculine with a female quality to it.
Ville valo is like richard ashcroft when he left the verve when he went solo both amazing artist and great in the band. Wish him would do a tour in the future randomly
I can't stop listening to his new album! I love HIM albums but the VV Solo project is something special in the sense that sounds like a journey of inner growth from its creator.
I can understand why so many HIM fans don’t like his new music… I’m just grateful we got to listen to a new album, even if he doesn’t sound super different the fact that he did all by himself is amazing!
To album je skvělý, není tam písnička, která by se mi nelíbila a zároveň z toho mám pocit, jaký jsem měla z HIM, přesto že je to jiné, osobnější. A že to nahrál sám je neuvěřitelné, doufám, že to není poslední album. Ráda ho poslouchám i ve finštině s Agents. Vypadá spokojeně.
When I feel like I'll never fit in anywhere, like I don't belong at all. His songs 🎵 are so comforting, like I am not the only melancholy Wolfish soul. 🐺🌻🌹🕉♥️
Ok. You have a chance to ask 7 questions to Ville and you're thinking that question about new Depeche Mode single is good question at all? Very strange 4 sure. But thanks for the other questions)
I had like 15 questions ready - but the time for an interview was very limited (10 minutes - including setting up camera, microphone etc.) which is why I didn't have time to ask more about different stuff. Maybe next time! :)
I think whoever did the job made a mistake choosing this shiny neon white color. I mean, you can get any color you like these days. Why this shiny white? 😅😅
LOve his new teeth - I envy HIM :) HIm was the last show I have seen - with a friend who passed away later - so bittersweet memories : But I love my Heartagram Tattoo ♥
Sorry to say this but the questions were not all that it just common questions why and why. I could feel he wasn’t passionate about his answers because questions were common questions with the why.
He seems to be very polite and chill.
He is
because he is?
I have never talked with him, but I'd say so.
He was always polite. Quite shy and homie
I’m still in awe that he created this masterpiece by himself, amazing.
He is so proud of his new project🖤 every time he's talking about it he seems very euphoric...
I hope he does feel proud and accomplished. Very few musicians ever managed to pull off composing an entire album and recording all instruments by themselves. This man right here is a LEGEND❤

True. And there's a reason to be proud.
I guess he is even happier because the people accept him as VV, and support him all the way, with or without the band. I can see he appreciate now more the fans, his relation is closer to them.
Awe yes ❤ his joy it’s infectious too I’m so happy for him and I was so happy to see him this year and again in September ❤🖤
Musical Genius, one of the best songwriters of our time!
Ville is such a beautiful soul. I saw him live in Munich, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life. ♡
I got to see HIM in 2013. I remember cutting the line at the meet & greet and it going so quick. But the highlight was getting a hug from Ville!!
Same! Ive been to the concert in Vilnius on Monday and I still cant believe how good it was.
@@ievakondrate7830 that is awesome!! I'll see him again on this tour, in may. Can't wait :))
So you haven't been to many concerts?
So very nice to hear him speaking with such enthusiasm 👏 😀 the album is great! It certainly has many ways to it as he says. Pure VV. He was truly missed.
We are sooo proud that you made your whole album by yourself.🖤You are a great musician you deserve this love. Always🖤
He is sort of becoming a European rock legend
He's been a legend
always was
*He is a European rock legend 😉
I like HIM, and Ville's solo album too. The Neon Noir concert was wonderful, these new songs sound really good live 🤘👏👌💥
if you like HIM you have to like him neither
Wow, he sounds(literally) so different from old(2010's) interviews. Loved HIM and i'm pretty sure I'll love this new project.
His accent used to sound more British. Now he sounds more Finnish.
His voice in Interviews from 2010 is so much deeper than nowadays
I love how open is Ville about his musical influences in this new album, and the fact that he loves Depeche Mode (one of my favourite bands) makes me like him even more! Thanks for this awesome interview 🙌
Thank you! :)
He covered thier song with him it's no secret
Was awesome when they covered enjoy the silence
well duh, its been known since 98, just listen to their bury me inside your heart
I love listening to what makes him who he is, and what inspires him :) His take's on alot of subjects are so interesting too!
Saw this guy 4 days ago in Barcelona, awesome concert and great interview!
Sweet. I'll be seeing him in April. I really lucked out that he's coming to Houston, TX.
Unbelievable how 25 years of HIM, Ville primarily focusing on singing and now with his solo album taking on all the aspects of a song, vocals, guitar, bass, drums etc. still putting out a refreshing album and nostalgic sense of HIM vibes. Great album and i’m happy he’s still chasing music. 🤘🏼
I am so excited about seeing VV on tour. It's been wonderful to watch all these new interviews.

I know we all age and change which we have to embrace but he seems so so different from not just look, but style, personality, vibes, all of it.
100%. His speaking voice is so different, can only assume it's because he gave up cigarettes and booze.
I think he became a better and wiser person after the depression he had during the pandemic.
I see this new album as a journey through the dark night of the soul and his current girlfriend was a kind of constant and saving presence that helped him get out of the abyss he was in, as he says in Neon Noir - “From the abyss I pirouette my way back to you”.
Спасибо, Вилле, за наше счастливое детство )
золоті слова! Вілле зробив наше дитинство хоч на трохи щасливіше!

Môj život by bol prázdny bez Villeho hudby. Od základnej školy keď začali HIM až do dnes ♡ Vďaka za tento rozhovor 🥰
❤
ATROCITY "Malicious Sukkubus"🐍😃🐍💯
🖤 You have a stone instead of a heart....🖤
I love him. His new album is fantastic
I remember HIM music from late 90', early 2000'. Since than my music tast has changed but sometimes I still listen "join me". VV has very unique vocal, very deep and sensual, masculine with a female quality to it.
Saw him two days ago here in San Antonio TX. Amazing. Bravo. Love him.

He still performs HIM songs on the new tour.
❤️
His voice is more soft when hi's talking than 10 years ago....

❤

@@METALSHOPTV you did a great job 😅
❤🖤❤
Wee bit 😂😂😂 cute
I saw HIM once. I went to go to one of their last tours and when I got to the venue they had cancelled their shows cuz Ville got sick
🖖
His voice has changed, it's not as low as it used to be
Love Ville to bits saw in London on Wed was amazing. He looks too too skinny .also has he had his teeth fixed.voice is still amazing. X
🇫🇮
Ville is a Prince fan? I’m gonna cry! 😭💜💜💜
💯💜💜💜🙏🤗UK
☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What happened to his voice? He sounds like a different person
He quit smoking and drinking so that's probably it
Why in the last week Ville Valo is abruptly everywhere ?!
I am sorry. I really am. I have been a fan since I was a kid, 36 now, and a dental professional. His teeth can not let me focus. Still love.
I think that is a she
Check out his teeth from some of his interviews way back in the day, he def has veneers or implants
I think whoever did the job made a mistake choosing this shiny neon white color. I mean, you can get any color you like these days. Why this shiny white? 😅😅
@SBB333 aaah, now I get it 😅
I feel like everyone I know over the age of 40 in Northern/Eastern Europe is getting these gigantic shiny veneers nowadays lol
Isn’t Blade Runner 🔪 🏃♂️ considered Cyberpunk?
4:02 just like Queens of the Stone Age!
LOve his new teeth - I envy HIM :) HIm was the last show I have seen - with a friend who passed away later - so bittersweet memories : But I love my Heartagram Tattoo ♥
Для какой Майи от это сделал?
on je užasny
Он произнес женское имя Майя. Она его муза?
ammu ittes
Sorry to say this but the questions were not all that it just common questions why and why. I could feel he wasn’t passionate about his answers because questions were common questions with the why.
I THINK HE DONE SOMETHING WITH HIS TEETH,SOUND A LITTLE PECULIAR.
I've been listening to him for a few weeks and still can't figure out how to pronounce his name properly 😂 help
