Talk:Ville Valo/Archive 1

message: Non-notable musician.  See the discussion of Lilly Lazer above.  RickK 19:31, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
* He's well-known as the frontman, is enormously popular in Europe, has a notable solo career. I'd vote to keep him when I wouldn't vote to keep other members of HIM, as people who don't know the band well might still know/recognize him as its frontman..  Rhymeless 19:40, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ville Valo is the one! 

message: Listen kids! Like many people, I love HIM  i'm not here to claim i am their biggest fan, i'm here to appreciate their music and god given talent! I think most will agree that Ville Valo is a genius, his song writing talents excel above new heights, the music is amazing, i am never away from it, the lyrics are heart felt and believed, not just some manufactured band with no talent. i think everyone should give them a go, love metal is a step forward for music it invites us all, people have opinions about all kinds of music, they either love it or hate it, love metal, ville valo and HIM have changed this, they've provided a grey area, and even townies, God help em can enjoy this great music! keep it free! thanx for listening to blonde bimbo who usually doesn't say squat!
*HIM are an overrated piece of crap.FACT!Dermo69
* You know, I was amazed that this article was up for VfD even before I read all this fan worship about him. Ville Valo is the most popular heavy metal musician in Finland, and he has lately become notable in the rest of the world as well. Claiming he's not notable now would be like claiming Jean Sibelius is not notable fifty years ago. I don't like heavy metal music myself, so I'll just say that Valo is a cool guy and a damn fine musician.  — JIP | Talk 17:14, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Would people writing about places in Finland please check the spelling before writing about them? There are no places named "Vanilla" or "Olunkyla" anywhere in Finland. They are called "Vallila" and "Oulunkylä". If in doubt, use a Finnish map, not a vague recollection of an overheard conversation from fifteen years ago.  — JIP | Talk 12:02, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: The main part of the article text is a verbatim copy of the Ville Valo page on the Heartagram site. That's where the ridiculously misspelled Finnish place names come from: I thought they were misspelled by the article author, but they're really misspelled by the Heartagram site owner. Should this be marked as a copyvio?  — JIP | Talk 16:32, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyvio? 

message: What exactly is the encyclopedic value of knowing things such as 'His father Kari was a taxi driver at the time of his birth, but would later become a sex shop owner', or the exact time of his birth? Or that 'Valo reportedly learned to walk using the aid of the family pet dog Sami'? This is fancruft pure and simple. - ulayiti (talk) 21:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lots of cruft in this article 

message: Been listening to that band lately and just wondering if anyone noticed their ban to band to be an Anti-Christ one.This is kinda why:
That Heartagram Symbol,i know that they just made it and it symbolizes Death....but ask some friends and they said it looked liked the symbol for a cult or something...??
Not actually a fan but just curious..so if anyone can shed light on this please do...
That's because the heartagram is a fusion of the pentagram and a heart. A pentagram is the symbol of peaceful Wicca and an inverted one is the symbol of Satanism. Zythe 22:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  H.I.M--ANTI-CHRIST???? 

message: The information about Ville Valo playing on Two Witches compilation album "Saints & Sinners" is false. The rumor is something that Ausfahrt Musikverlag invented themselves to sell more records. We have contacted them several times in order for them to remove that information from their homepages and official press releases but to no avail. We apologize for all the inconvenience but it seems that the only way for this rumor to stop is Mr Valo to contact Ausfahrt himself and threaten with legal action. As a band Two Witches, and none of the people involved in the band personally, don't have anything to do with this rumor. We play our own guitars, thank you.

thread_title:  Ville's guest appearance on Two Witches "Saints & Sinners" 

message: These entries were missing information when I cleaned up the Discography section:
* 1999 Agents collaborations: What sort of collaboration — vocals, lyrics?
* Thulsa Doom: Was there a recording with this title or did the band just play under this name on one occasion? All I could find was that there's another band by that name, and that there's a "Thulsa Doom version" of the HIM song "Salt In Our Wounds".
* Support Band von The Skreppers: Same as above—unclear whether this was a recording or a performance.
I couldn't find any of this information, but maybe someone else can add it. — Helfaery 10:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Jonne Aaron, Ville's older brother.
He's mentioned no where in Ville's page.
I would try to add him, but I'm not exactly sure about this.
Jesse Valo is indeed Ville's younger brother; they share last name's.
Jonne's name doesn't match Ville's.
I was wondering if perhaps they're brothers by marriage?
And if anyone has more information on this, it should be put into the page.

message: Hey umm... I was wondering are there any biographies in book form (that you could buy from a normal book shop/rent from library or something) that I could obtain? Like, could you tell me titles and authors if there are any? Thanks. 68.108.28.248 04:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ville Valo Biography?? 

message: Under "The Birth of HIM", stated that HIM originated in 1995. In the HIM page it states the band was formed in 1991HIM_%28band%29. Which is correct? I assume 1991, but don't want to change it unless verified. 68.108.104.183 07:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
