Huge spam - 120 things I like about HIM (Part 1/3)
Hey everybody. I don't mean to spam VD too much but this is something I've done some time ago. I just forgot to post it on here ;)
This is a tribute to HIM and in particular to Valo nugget. I split it into 6 parts although I wish I could post it all at once. I did so because I can't manage to make every video directly appear on this post. Since there are links to many videos (I indicated if relevant the specific time to watch at), I thought clicking on gazillion links on one go would spoil all my hard work and annoy you all. I have indeed tried to upload some videos on photobucket to make this easier but it unfortunately didn't work. I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. Well I am pretty confident that if you're patient and watch everything properly, it'll definately be worth it.
I'll post the rest when I have time. Ironically enough, I don't have much time right now either - it's rather that studying so much biology depresses me and makes me need some sort of HIM therapy ;) Next time I might post only 20 things at a time instead of 40 because I understand it takes some time to go through all that. I don't own any of the videos, pictures and articles linked below.
1. Linde makes dreads cool again. We can now stop referring to Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel.
2. HIM makes vegetarianism hip. Ville even mentioned a diet as unusual as fruitarianism. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6BohBEXr_c at 3:44).
3. Ville put into words beautifully what emo music as we know it truly is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apNCITyyGSo at 8:37)
4. HIM gives us something easy to draw so any student in the world can stay occupied during boring classes.
5. Mige feeds my imagination with quotes such as “My inner spirit is turkey so in a sense if we would make a video out of this and it would involve my life it would be like a cock fight between me and turkey." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiMpqs3uzDU at 2:26)
6. Despite my strict upbringing on the matter, Ville makes me feel in peace with all the smokers in the world.
7. Ville managed to be a perfect life-sized doll in this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5oBakkC6e8)
8. Ville gives me kicks every time I hear his early clumsy accent. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdLS9Ehkni4)
9. Ville gave me book ideas. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laGZZQKq90 at 0:09)
10. Ville educated me on David Lynch.
11. HIM makes me stop feeling ashamed that I like Kiss and Bon Jovi.
12. Ville gave me great ideas to diss people elegantly, as in this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm-_SVL73tE at 6:31)
13. Ville makes me enjoy religious imagery in a very entertaining way.
14. Ville gives me great punch lines such as “E.T. wanna know what rock ‘n’ roll is. I definitely think it’d be best to give E.T. our album.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuWXvNz19pk&feature=related at 2:27)
15. I now have an excuse to say “I have a little queen in me” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Elq9SWr2o at 6:20)
16. Ville allows me to practice saying “Sodankylän elokuvajuhlat” (same video as above at 1:52).
17. HIM adds to the importance of music classics.
18. I don’t feel guilty anymore for taking long baths. I can conveniently remind myself that I “lie in there, just sweating the bullshit out.” (http://ksenian-scans.buzznet.com/user/photos/rock-sound-2003/?id=59798191#id=59798211&p=1)
19. After watching Ville, I understood that when I don’t like what I am asked, nothing keeps me from lying or saying as much bullshit as necessary for the person not to realize I am not answering said question.
20. Ville gave me a wonderful seasonal survival guide to cheer myself up every year (http://issywizz.buzznet.com/user/journal/3460931/ville-gives-holiday-advice-kerrang/).
21. Ville is responsible for me seeing Evelyn McHale’s picture.
22. If it wasn’t for HIM making me obsessed with Finland, I would have never seen pictures of the Sibelius Park.
23. Ville wore these shoes and posed for the quirkiest picture ever.
24. Ville makes me conveniently obsessed with fingerless gloves and beanies. It’s cold in Canada as well after all.
25. Mige makes me feel younger by the day.
26. This is the coolest jacket I’ve ever seen.
27. Ville makes me feel proud of my tongue-in-cheek humour and good manners.
28. HIM shares the most amazing pieces of art.
29. It’s all Ville’s fault that this has become my signature face.
30. Ville gives me great interior design ideas.
31. I had a great laugh when I saw this.
32. I can’t wait to do this at a party. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2trs1i2WYCg at 5:47)
33. Ville gives me an excuse to say wideo, Bon Wovi, wirgin and insert Ws in as many words as possible. I’ll just try not to notice that Ville isn’t wearing a seat belt in the video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n-Z6sZ4CeA at 2:48 - 3:28)
34. HIM created my personal Holy Trinity with “In Joy And Sorrow”, “Close To The Flame” and “When Love And Death Embrace”.
35.
36. Ville made me want to listen to his favourite riff, the coughing in a Black Sabbath song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH9_UYg5Lmg&playnext=1&list=PL053CD7A992F596D8 at 2:39)
37. HIM songs either suit my mood or else I enjoy listening to them while thinking how great it’ll be once they do.
38. This will forever be the best inspiration for doodles, particularly in my painfully boring philosophy classes.
39. When I’m bored, I can also remember Ville talking about his “chicken vindaloo” experience in Amsterdam. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b33QPTYJP3M at 5:18)
40. I can thank Ville for filling my music library with music from Soundgarden, Anathema, Interpol, The National, Turbonegro, Cathedral, Mötorhead, Iggy Pop, Iron Maiden, Sisters Of Mercy, Lacuna Coil, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Black Sabbath, etc. Moreover, Type O Negative and The 69 Eyes are now among my favourite bands.
