HIM - Ville Valo's infernal quest for love

In this week's Kerrang! magazine we caught up with HIM mainman Ville Valo in Australia. While he may be enjoying sobriety, his heart is longing for love and his mind is wandering. Ville wants to know what else life has to offer. Is he planning to disappear from the spotlight for good?

Plus: Funeral For A Friend ink new deal, Against Me!'s Tom Gabel on Axl Rose, anti-emo violence sweeps Mexico, on location with Paramore, Cute Is What We Aim For on making album number two, Kill Hannah confess they love Babylon Zoo, Aiden rock Bristol while Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu and Bullet For My Valentine rock New Jersey, meet Black Tide - metal's hot new young guns, the 10 Commandments of former Pantera / current Down mainman Phil Anselmo, Inside The Mind Of Angels And Airwaves' Tom DeLonge, The Ghost Of A Thousand's Tom Lacey faces the Random Question Generator, former From First To Last frontman Sonny Moore on striking out alone and Nightwish's Anette Olzon on the last time she cried.

And: Free posters of Mindless Self Indulgence, Slipknot, Biffy Clyro, Elliot Minor and Aiden,

what ever

Now why would such a prestigious magazine such as Kerrang wish to litter their cover with bands no one can pronounce, or has even heard of?

i shall be buying this purely for the slipknot poster.

kerrang, why oh why do you put a poster of a band that SUPPORTED MCFLY in a supposed rock music magazine.elliot minor are fucking dreadful and you should be ashamed that you feature them.saying that tho, we all know your magazine is now aimed at the scene kids.


saying that tho, i might just go into wh smith and rip out the slipknot poster because lets face it, the kiddies dont apreciate a proper band do they.

Do you like reapting yourself or is it because you dont have any other way use grammar. In that pointless "insult" you actually used "saying that tho" twice. To me you are nothing more than a fucking chav who cant even spell the word "though". Oh look at me, I must make sure people know that I am hard for going into a shop and ripping out a poster. GET A FUCKING LIFE DICKHEAD.

You would be better putting the poster on the slipnot side but that won't stop the stench coming from the other side.

Who gave these MSI idiots a record contract? I'd rather shit a hedgehog than listen to that bollocks

I actually agree with you on that, emos are excellent. What makes them even more stronge is the fact people are getting wound up by them. They are totally in the spotlight. EMO HATERS GO ARE NOTHING BUT CONTRADICTIVE WANKERS.

Emo Hater: "Oh my god, I dont like emos, my life is so boring but I talk about them all thwe time"

Emos are here to stay forever more

Are you really that sad that you have to label yourself?
Never heard linneaus classify emo as a real "label" did you?
Why don't you just be yourself

sorry mr/miss emo/goth punk if I hate emos, but the fact is that when we see so many things going wrong with this world, it can piss someone of to see futile teenagers crying and thinking they are the unhapiest persons in the world just because daddy didn't give them the newest ipod or fall out boy release. However, while they're crying, with all their brand expensive clothes, there are people dying because of real problems, who don't even have time to cry. So grow up, leave these fashions, and instead sliting your wrists go do something usefull.

Actually, I wouldn't mind the Slipknot poster as well, but knowing how homo K! are, they're most probably on the same page....
