Ville Valo Gets Personal with Buzznet
It's 6:30 p.m. Finland time and Ville Valo is at his home in Helsinki just after returning from Spain. He's been on a lengthy press tour, but it is nearly over and on October 18th he will begin the HIM Tour in the U.S.
Ville just chatted with Buzznet and told us all about Venus Doom, his family and what inspires him. He also offered us insight into his celebrity friendships (Kat Von D and Bam -- to name a few).
While his bandmates are avid chess players, Ville's passionate about books. He's currently reading Rat Scabies and The Holy Grail -- which he referred to as "the punk rock treatment on the DaVinci Code." Edgar Allan Poe is another one of his favorites to read in his spare time, especially on airplanes.
When I asked Ville to describe Venus Doom in three-to-five words, he responded, "Love. Metal. Again." Way to be cryptic, Ville! But its always been your enigmatic side that draws us to you so.
He grew up listening to ACDC, Iron Maiden and Peter Steel from Type O Negative, he tells us. He's also been a big fan of Reggae since his teens and has alot of Jamaican idols -- such a fan in fact that at age 14 he started to grow dreadlocks.
Ville's very much a family man and when asked what he misses most when he's away from home, he quickly responded "....my guitar.....my mom, my dad and my little brother." Words of wisdom to all of you from this Rock God, "Keep on reading your books and be nice to your parents!"
For all of you who wear contact lenses, put 'em away and break out your glasses....Ville's likes his girls in frames (wink wink).

Ville seems to have lost some of his finnish accent. But love those gratuitus "fucking" adjectives. As spongebob calls... sentence inhancers... I have young kids.. yes I watch spongebob!
Thanks for sharing with us! Buzznet rocks harder than any other place on the net!
I wish I would have seen your invite for questions sooner. I wanted to ask how they keep coming up with such intense videos. I think theres are among the best I have ever seen... very artsy in a dark & beautiful way.
