VALO'S CIGARETTE MOUNTAIN

Finnish VILLE VALO smokes an astonishing 21,900 cigarettes a year, to give his voice a gruff, husky "edge". The eccentric HIM frontman smokes 60 cigarettes every day, and insists the dangerous habit is an essential tool for him. Valo says, "That's how many you need to smoke to give your voice an edge. A guitar player has an effects pedal that he uses to make his guitar sound like he wants. For me my effects pedal is a packet of Marlboro Red. "I went from sounding like a choirboy to sounding like MARK LANEGAN."

Awakened i am.. Choir boy Villan.. Did you ever participate in such a group? I was involved with the choir for aprox 6 years as a child and teen and not by choice. ::school:: My voice is of the choirs until i joined a melodic black metal band called dismal tears in '99 - and it changed into something so wicked because of this dark power of metal guitars i love so dear, i am the walking metronome- and yes i love to dance. i must blame my somber dark words for what i have become today. i can't find him so i write "dimming of the heart" .. and i let everything go..all my bands and i write alone...i find something similar.. and its odd for a few reasons. it might be rite. well.... i am now involved in a futuristic dance movement and my 1st single is called Nebula Light. More power to you to write such words as "rip off the wings of a butterfly"...that i want to stop you from doing so. cause something did capture my soul...but, before you rip the wings off the butterflies remember it begins as a worm... well.. i do hate worms.... so, go right ahead. it hurts me to know it's a butterflie. even though i do hate worms.. i am empty to pain as it comes and goes. what r u doing to my soul 'cause its not only mine anymore? it's the childrens that have past away. i have all their little souls inside and i am no where near pregnancy and i belong to no one.... i cant speak too much ....
