Ville Valo is probably one of the fathers of emo. In an interview with MoreCore at Rock am Ring, the musician and HIM founder talks about his way of songwriting, the upcoming tour with Black Veil Brides and much more. Afterwards it was straight onto the stage for him.
We also asked him to draw a picture, during the interview. What happens with it? We will keep you posted!

I'm from Finland and still never listened to HIM when they were together. Of course I knew the band's name, "Join me" and that they were successful, but started to listen to them and got the vibe of their stuff eventually after Neon Noir. Ville is a musical genius.

Always had much love for Ville and his work, new and old. He has such a hypnotic sound. Truly a gift to music. I feel so lucky to get to see him in concert again after so long. Last time I had the opportunity was in 2007, and I screamed when I learned he’s coming to Niagara Falls! I had just been wishing I could do something special for my 30th that month, and here he pops in like my very own little fairy gothmother 😆🖤 Love you V!

I worry about him too. He looked thinner then usual and he seems stressed over his age. Anyone who has been on a tour of any kind knows it zaps a lot out of you. I hope he takes time off . He does not need to risk relapse with the smoking and drinking. That ends to many talented people's lives.

I think he needs to do a class on Magick . He never gets to into his Chaos Magick ideas and what little he says is inspired. I want his thoughts on the book " Nightside of Eden". All the Pluto stuff in the first chapter. I looked at his chart and saw he has his Sun, Moon and Pluto conjunct in Sagittarius. His rising sign is Scorpio. Pluto is going into his 4th house for the next 20 plus years in aquarius, so perhaps we will get our wish. I heard another interview he gave in January of this year where he talked about words being sigils and portals. I wish I could remember who it was with. The thumbnail was a drawing of Ville with snakes around him. Talk about apropos!
