: D

 

 

“It simply drags you away, and you can’t do anything against it, you just always want more, even when it hurts.”

 

“Emotional things are one of the very few on our world which we can’t control. And that’s what I write about… all this emotional shit.” No, HIM’s singer Ville Valo doesn’t see things that negative; leans back in his chair in a hotel in Hamburg, smiles and adds: “Of course it’s not always only shit, but the topic is interesting cause it’s the only chaotic creative power – our base for everything else.” Here again an interview with Ville about Venus Doom and “suicide”.

 

Rockoon: Heavy songs and dark lyrics – the result of a hard time you had to get through?

Ville: I had a really fucked year; Then again it was really great, cause all these unbeautiful things left its mark on the music. The sound was so dark and melancholic that I was able to write everything down in the lyrics cause it simply matched the music.

 

R: Kiss Of Dawn is a song about a friend of you, who committed suicide…

V: Yes, but it’s not a song about suicide, it’s more about to lose a friend – not necessarily cause of death. It’s a kind of song to say goodbye. You try to put forth your hand to reach someone, who’s unreachable. Some relationships are the same: When love dies and you don’t know how to go on.

 

R: We already talked about that topic before: What do you personally think about suicide – the last chance to escape life, if you can’t stand it anymore, or is it our of question for you?

V: To me it never is or was an option. But like Nietzsche said: “The thought of suicide is a good way to comfort: you can easily get through a bad night with it.” It’s about to have the possibility…

 

R: Did you write the song to get over with suicide , or to write something special FOR somebody who’s not there anymore?

V: Definitely the latter: It’s a song FOR somebody, though he’ll never hear it – at least, if you believe like me that there’s no life after death. He was a very important person in my life, and I was sad. It’s about, how I see it that he’s gone, and how to handle a loss. I simply think it’s great, that I had the chance to knew such a wonderful person. I’m also one of these, who laugh at funerals, cause I remember all the good things. Death makes a lot of people sad, cause THEY lose something, cause THEY can’t have anything – something’s not under their control. A lot of people are like that.

 

R: And you not?

V: Sometimes I am. People are possessive and want to decide what happens and what doesn’t. You shouldn’t ruin your own life just because one of your loved ones died. I mean, you should be happy that you’ve shared a part of your life with a wonderful person. I try to see things positive, cause plenty of bad stuff happens. There are a lot of things where u can weep about, and of course you can be sad sometimes. The song is kind of sad and melancholic, but not dark, and there’s hope in it.

 

R: Back to the Album and with it to the song – and accordingly title track Venus Doom. Do you reference to the roman goddess of love,  which takes various parts and so Venus Doom is one of them?

V: Yeah kinda. It’s about vitation and love.  “Venus Doom” for me is something like a figure – like Kali, the Indian goddess of destruction and death and also regeneration. Love destroys something in you when it starts, and the same when it leaves again.

 

R: There’s a quote of Hermann Hesse’s book Demian: “Who wants to be born, has to destroy a world.” So, that’s what’s love and life is like for you?

V: No, that’s what I am for love. I’ve open arms. The track Venus Doom is kind of a lovesong to love itself. You can light the dark if you leave your arms and eyes open and let it in, but you have to be careful, cause it destroys your dreams and changes you and the world around you. You don’t know where it’ll take you, and naturally it brings you to emotional, intellectual and bodily destroying – sooner or later. You feel so gravitated of somebody, it can fuck up your life. It simply drags you away and you can’t do anything against it, you just always want more, even when it hurts. Though it’s fascinating… and this topic is worth a lot of songs.

 

R: Let’s take a step forward: Your guitar player Mikko Lindström also known as Linde always has to say goodbye to his little child when he goes on tour – would you also like to have a little being, which keeps you away from sleep?

V: I can’t sleep anyway. It’s something like a daydream – yeah, it would be nice in a way. If it happens, it happens, but I’m happy that this wasn’t the matter so far, cause I simply don’t have the chance to stay at home a lot. It would be a pretty hard job for the woman… or, if I marry a man and we get the chance to adopt a child, it would be hard for him, and I don’t want to that to somebody. I’m 30 now and I still don’t know where the band is going. I can’t say if we’ll be very successful in five years, if we’ll still exist or not. If I fall in love with somebody, and we have a great time and decide to have a kid, then that’s it and you live on with that decision. You can’t give away a kid that easily – or well, you can. And I’ll give mine to Angelina Jolie then!

 

 

Interview by Rockoon!

Translation by wickedgirl666

103 friend requests in the last couple of weeks.

103.

I've hardly ever been on cause I was quite busy with school, but I got 103 friend requests.

???

uhmm.... okay. You guys know, I LOVE making friends. But for me, making friends actually also means TALKING to the people.

sorry. I didn't want that to sound rude, but I'm just a little bit pissed :I

„Suicide is always an option. Not the best, more the worst, but it’s good to have it. “

 

“Would you care for another cup of coffee? I also have some more French toasts for you.” Again a fresh smell of coffee came through the comfortable darkened breakfast lounge of the Hyatt West Hollywood at the Sunset Boulevard and mixed with the wonderful scent of the warm toast, while soft music filled the comfortable rooms and created an ambiance which actually didn’t match a Rock’n’Roll hotel. And though we were in that special hotel in Los Angeles, in which already Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin and The Who did some legendary parties. Televisions flew through windows, motorbikes drove through the lobby and even some songs got written here. But today it was pretty quiet in those legendary halls and excitement was only found by the attendant music-journalists who specially came from Germany to listen to the successful Finnish band HIM’s new album in the afternoon.

Punctually at 2.00pm “HIM – mommy” Silke Yli-Sirniö congregated everybody in the lobby to go to the Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Pretty unimpressive from the outside and actually only identifiable with a sign from the Paramount Studios parking lot they’ve been found to be very impressive and roomy in the inside. Some gold and platinum records decorated the walls from the reception area to the recording rooms in the back part which are only lighted by dimmed light and candles, where HIM-Manager Seppo Vesterinen, Producer Tim Palmer and of course HIM-leader Ville Valo were already waiting to present the finally completed masterpiece.

Quickly some chairs were put for the journalists and manager Seppo already ran busily through the rooms, while Ville got – anxious waiting for their opinions– to the with a glass pane shielded recording room and Tim happy and proudly presented the new songs. Songs like Bleed Well and the acoustic Song Or Suicide sounded, while Venus Doom, Dead Lover’s Lane and Passion’s Killing Floor rocked the studio so Tim couldn’t help himself playing the air guitar and in the next moment already rock on with the non existent drums or write down the song titles so everybody got the right track list in their notes. Arduously first impressions got written down, which seemed in view of the diversity of the songs almost kind of back braking. After an hour there was only one thing with which everyone agreed: Venus Doom is a damn rocking record, which’s success seems to be preassigned.

Not only Tim Palmer seemed to be happy with the first reacts, also Ville, who already wanted the HIM-mommy to finally tell him what they think about the new album. A little bit tired from the party of last night but obviously relaxed he also was with the interview:

 

Ville Valo: Thank you very much for taking some time to get here.

 

Rockoon: My pleasure! Although the flight was really hard, cause I don’t really like flying.

 

VV: Oh, I hate it too! I’m always afraid of it. Mostly I take some anodynes and try to sleep. We actually have to fly all the time. The rest of the band loves the flying. They always call “now we’re crashing!!” and I:”AAaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!” Not very calmative.

 

Rockoon: So it’s good that you flew alone this time. How long have u been in LA now?

 

VV: I’m here for like one and a half week and I’ll stay a few more weeks. Tim and I mixed the album here. He actually even started to before I arrived here. But we know each other already pretty good so it doesn’t take a lot of words between us. It gets changed a bit here and there but then it’s exactly the way we want it.

 

Rockoon: But the album got recorded with Tim and Hiili Hiilesmaa in Helsinki, right?

 

VV: Yeah, in Helsinki.

 

Rockoon: Was Tim in Helsinki for the first time so you could show him a little bit of the city?

 

VV: Oh no, he already was there a couple of times. But this time it was like, I slept and he partied. We also recorded the album when we were all together. We wanted the album just to be finished and the last time it was pretty stressful because the whole traveling costed a lot of time and energy. And it wasn’t really easy this time anyway because Burton, our keyboarder, also got a baby.

 

Rockoon: oh really? I’m sure that’s exciting for him.

 

VV: yeah. Although I haven’t even seen it yet. But they’re very happy. I mean, it was born in October.

 

Rockoon: The baby got born in October and you still haven’t seen it?

 

VV: well yeah, we all work out very well and we like each other a lot but you have to keep something private for yourself. We spend a lot of time together, like, in the studio, in the bus, when we’re on tour… I think I haven’t seen Olivia – the daughter of our guitarist Linde – for almost a year. It happens. When you have your break, you have your break. Then you don’t think of the band anymore and you need some time for yourself. Well at least we try to take some time for us.

 

Rockoon: Tell us something about the new album. The title, Venus Doom, is it something like an advancement of Love Metal? Venus is the goddess of Love and Doom could describe the way to heavier and darker sounds. Is it like this or more like a word game?

 

VV: It’s not an advancement of Love Metal. Is has to do with demolition and is a bit like the Kali-symbolism. Kali is the more-armed goddess of the Indian mythology and means demolition but also regeneration. Something has to be destroyed, so new things can be created. That’s what love means to me.

 

Rockoon: And what does love exactly mean to you?

 

VV: It kills you. It rips your soul. And you’re going to be reborn if you love again.

 

Rockoon: Interesting thought which could be also taken for other subjects. Like the aspects of your older albums, which almost have something destructive or at least don’t sound that complaisant like at the time they were created. For example, you said after the release of Dark Light, that this kind of music is exactly what you always wanted, and after recording Venus Doom you said, that there were too many things happening on Dark Light.

 

VV: Probably almost every musician says something like this, right? It’s like you just found the perfect trousers or the perfect woman. So you shouldn’t misunderstand it. I’m still very satisfied with Dark Light, just like with the albums before.

 

Rockoon: So it’s perfect in the moment of creating, because it’s exactly what you’re feeling at that time.

 

VV: That’s the way you could word it. We always give our best and cause of that we always want more. It’s very important to advance.

 

Rockoon: You said that Venus Doom is a lot more heavy and darker, and that’s true. What was the reason for choosing this direction?

 

VV: Heavy music is fun! I also had some hard times privately and so you can hear it on the songs. Private is of course relative, cause I don’t really have a private life in its actual meaning. I write about personal emotions in our lyrics and so already tell them to public for years.

 

Rockoon: What do you do to improve you musically? For example, the singing or the guitar playing?

 

VV: Actually we don’t really think about that.

 

Rockoon: So you just play and sing?

 

VV: Well, you’re always trying some new things. I’ve never sung as deep as on the new album. My voice isn’t like Robert Plant’s [Led Zeppelin]. It’s as deep as Peter Steele’s from Type O Negative. But he didn’t sing so deep anymore for quite a while, so, I’ll probably beat him in that now (laughs). He’s actually one of my idols. I love his voice and so I’m trying to advance my own voice. And I think that’s also the way you should work and live your life – as good as possible and always trying to reach the best possible.

 

Rockoon: Tim told about that the acoustic Song Or Suicide was recorded in a hotel room.

 

VV: That’s right. Song Or Suicide is probably the saddest song I’ve ever written. The recordings weren’t easy too, because the transport and the buildup of the equipment we needed took a lot of time. We recorded it in the hotel in which I’m currently in, just at the Sunset Boulevard. John Belushi died there, Neil Young recorded there and also Anthony Keates sang his song parts there. It’s a hot place, but it really got an impressive past…

 

Rockoon: I heard that Kiss Of Dawn is dedicated to a friend.

 

VV: Yes it is. He hung himself.

 

Rockoon: Oh. I think that’s nothing of which you like to talk about.

 

VV: That’s no problem. What the hell is death? He was a very good friend of mine, a very talented young fellow, with which I passed some beautiful times. One day his girlfriend called me and told me that he’s dead. Things like that unfortunately happen. It was his decision and I hope it was the right for him.

 

Rockoon: What do you personally think about suicide? Is it really an option?

 

VV: Suicide is always an option. Not the best, more the worst, but it’s good to have it. But it’s surely nothing, of which I’m considering right now.

 

Rockoon: fortunately! And there isn’t - at least not for public – a reason for it visible. What about the cooperation with your new Label? A good and especially personal teamwork seems to be very important for you. Did you find this for you?

 

VV: Absolutely. We signed in by Sire Records in New York. A small label that also got The Ramones, Madonna and Depeche Mode, latter for America, under contract.  It’s working pretty good, cause we’re working with people with which we get along very good. It’s a small label within a big one, so everything goes on very personal.

 

Rockoon: You also created a label by yourself. Did you already get some bands signed for Heartagram records so far?

 

VV: No, not yet. We’d really like to do that and we already talked with a few bands, but not more. We don’t really have enough time and probably also not the required know-how to coach the bands so far. I think we’re not really ready for that now.

 

Rockoon: Do you already have some special requirements for these bands?

 

VV: Not really. It’s more about friends and music. Also the music direction, although we’ll probably work more in the area of Rock, doesn’t really matter.

 

Rockoon: A totally different question. How would you explain, that lots of singers, which say they’re actually shy, to which you count as well, seem to search for the midpoint, cause they’re regularly doing gigs in front of a huge audience?

 

VV: Hm... That’s a hard question. I can’t tell you because I don’t have an explanation as well. What I know is that I love to write music. That’s what I really like, also at home for myself. It’s a bit like writing a diary.

 

Rockoon: Finally, do have a good suggestion for a place to go out here in LA?

 

VV: Oh, well you should go to the Rainbow. That’s the legendary bar directly at the Sunset Boulevard, in which also Lemmy [Motörhead] hangs out all the time. He even got his own Flipper there. So, it’s really worth going there!

[I hope I didn't make too many mistakes... XD :)) ]

 

okayyyy......

1. I'm like... always hyper. you probably know that cause of the HUGE amount of smiles I write xDDDDDDDDDD

2. Bert totally rocks in the taste of chaos game.

3. I can't think of cool facts. sorry guys, I'm sooo boring.

4. I'm probably the worst Jackass imitator ever. I don't even got a cam to film it.

5. I still believe I'm married to Ville. He just doesn't know it.

6. I'm suffering from asthma since Tessa, Enni and I talked about little WiLle.

7. I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat anything an animal got killed for. nope, I'm not one of these "OH NOOOOO POOR LITTLE COW" girls, but since I saw one of my uncles killing a cat by crushing its head with his foot and then eat it for dinner, I definately got a reason to say I don't like to eat meat anymore.

8. The person of which I'd shit my pants the most if I'd ever meet him would be definately Gerard Way.

____________________________________________________________________________

okay, so now you these facts about me XD..................... and they're so not interesting I know. XD

Ok, the third time now that I write here what's happening in my life right now. First of all, I'm really sorry for not beeing on for such a long time :( I miss you all, and I miss posting my stuff :(

Everything's so fucked the last time. Since my b day I'm studying without a break. Even in school. I don't even get what the teacher say only cause I study for other subjects. GOD. I HATE studying as some of u know. It's HORRIBLE. : (

On friday I have my final maths test. If I fail it, I have to repeat the WHOLE class!

On monday I have my final chemistry test. I have to prepare 86 questions! 86! why the fuck do I have to prepare ALL THOSE questions, if he only picks 10 out of them which I have to answer in my test??!!!!!!

On Wednesday I have my final test in accountancy. ACCOUNTANCY. I HATE IT. I have to get a C in that goddamn test. naaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhh....

and the following week.....:

Monday: final informatics test....  I need a C in this test.. : I

again on monday: German test.

Thursday: little businessmanagement test.

yep, I AM complaining about everything right now. But I'm just so damn scared cause of the Maths,Chemistry, and accountancy test.

ok most of all MATHS.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

school is KILLING me. I want to have time for listening to music again. for sports. FOR BUZZNET. I want to have time to see my brothers again. god I just need some time TO SLEEP!

I'll be on again and answer my messages, notes, comments, as soon as possible!

I really can't wait to talk to all of you again.

ok then, gotta have to go again.:(

*hugs*

p.s. I MISS YOU!!!

 

No offence, but..  since I'm posting to the HIM forum here on BN, I often see that my pics were stolen from some/A other user [I'm not mentioning any names] and get posted AGAIN in the SAME forum here.


well I don't care if you steal a pic from me and post it into your gallery and give credits [that's what I do..] or whatever. But it's pissing me off to see my pic posted again in the goddamn same forum right 1 page after I posted mine >.<

what I want to say is...  there are a LOT of pics posted twice or more often, some by accident and some cause they got stolen. Why???? Do you want some buzzes for it??? or comments??????? It's not a contest here like 'who got the most buzzes' or whatever, but some people really seem to think that.
I don't want to act like a total bitch but it's really annoying. For my part, I search a lot for pics. And I can say I never took one from another user and posted it in my gallery. Least of all not in big forums like HIMTour or whatever...  I think it's simply unfair then to steal pics and post it there again[RIGHT ONTO THE NEXT PAGE....GOD] .

I'm sorry all that may sound bitchy, but that's my opinion.

maybe I should put a marking with my name on the pic.
but who wants pics with markings?
nobody.

[BTW: yeah I know it's totally impossible to 'control' that or whatever, but like I said, it's ANNOYING.]

holy shit!!!
I think most of u have already seen the new tourdates.... if not check out heartagram.com

aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggrrhrkdsfhdsklfjewifoewufkdsnfmd,snfdisofzudsfjskfdsjfhsfjdsfdskvjsdhfid
I'm so pissed though
They'll be from July till September on tour, mainly in US...
I want them to come to Austria... or at least Germany.
it's saddening.
I'll have to wait for so long again.... naarrghhghghghgh *WWWAAAHHHH*....  yeah I'm a crybaby XD but I want to see them LIVE.....HERE:...NOWWWWWW
on 13th,14th and 15th of July they play in Finland... FUCK.... my brother maybe goes to Finland again for 2 weeks in summer... but laaaatttterrrrrrrrr.... so I wouldn't even see them live then if he'd take me with him >.<

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHH..... really.....

 u're FUCKED if u're an AUSTRIAN HIM fan XDDDD.....

DAMNIT..........PASKA........SCHEISSE...... XD

ok Little/Lilla Lisa needs too calm down VERY BADLY now XD

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

---

Who was a demolition Lover.
Who was NEVER okay.
Who was welcomed to the black parade.
THIS IS TO:
Every Patient, Helena & harmless vampire.
Every single fan who may never see them play.
TEAM BLONDE GERARD, rest in peace my friends.
Everyone that cracked that one "Back In Black" joke.
Those who mourned Mikey's glasses.
Those who live Life On The Murder Scene.
Those who cried to The Ghost Of You.
Those who cried to Famous Last Words.
Those who worried about Bob & his burn.
You who helped Gee stay sober.
Those with an obsession with Ray's hair.
Those who love Frankie Iero...you know who you are.
To everyone who is not afraid to keep on living.
Let's Crash The Cemetery Gates.
We will have the band, and each other, forever

I dreamed that Patrick Dempsey or however to spell that name (uhmm... dunno if u know him, he's  one of that doctors from Grey's Anatomy), was our english teacher and he wanted to have a new gf cause Edison left him. so he asked the class if someone wants to be it and every girl raised her hands (including me O_o). I can't remember what happend then but he took me for gf! XDDDD *AAAAAHHHHHHHHH*.

thank god I woke up.
and I only thought: "Patrick Dempsey... omg........ VILLE I'M SO SORRY..... XDDDDDD"


*hahahaha* XDDD

don't tell my husband!! XDDD *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA* jk

hey my darlings...

I'm sorry to say that I dunno when I'll be able to be on again. It's cause of my back... I can't sit, lie, or stand without it's hurting. I'm too afraid of doctors to go to one so I hope it will stop someday...  

ok hunnies, I'll stop now ...  and I'll try my best to get online... but I can't promise anything.

Love u all,

Lisa

 

Hab das gerade auf einer Internetseite gefunden... bin immer noch am lachen!! =DDD XD

Die finnische Sprache
   Oder: Wer Finnisch lernen kann, der kann wirklich alles lernen.

 

"Sytytetäänkö koko kokko ?"

"Koko kokkoko ?"

"Kyllä, koko kokko.”

"Sollen wir das ganze Feuer anzünden?"

"Das ganze Feuer ?"

"Ja, das ganze Feuer.

Warum sind die Finnen so schweigsam?
Sie ahnen es schon, es liegt an der Sprache.

Ist die Zeit gekommen, dass Finnisch seinen Platz als Weltsprache einnimmt? Offenbar ist es sehr schwierig, auf diese Frage eine definitive Antwort zu geben. Auf den ersten Blick scheint es viele Faktoren zu geben, die solch eine Entwicklung verhindern.

·    Erstens: finnisch wird nur von etwa 0.05% der Weltbevölkerung gesprochen;
·    Zweitens: die Sprache kann nicht durch 10 einfache Lektionen gelernt                     werden;
·    Und drittens: es gibt immer noch Finnen, die diese Sprache nicht verstehen.

Obwohl die Entwicklung der finnischen Sprache doch ein wenig langsam ist,
gibt es doch Finnen, die folgende Vorzüge des Finnischen für eine Weltsprache hervorheben: wir diskutieren über eine Sprache, die grundsätzlich logisch ist. Regeln werden absolut eingehalten, frei von Ausnahmen. Die Sprache ist wohlklingend. Mit anderen Worten: sie ist eine Freude für die Ohren. Dies kommt von der überwiegenden Anzahl an Vokalen, die dumme Kombinationen von Konsonanten verhindern. Gelegentlich wurde vorgeschlagen, dass einige Vokale in die Tschechei exportiert werden sollten, wo ein dauernder Mangel an ihnen herrscht, und einige tschechische Konsonanten könnten stattdessen importiert werden - aber die Verhandlungen wurden schon in früher Zeit abgebrochen. Die Finnen wollten nichts mit einer Sprache zu tun haben, in der Eiscreme "zmrzlina" genannt wird, und die Tschechen hingegen waren misstrauisch gegenüber einer Sprache, in der dies "jäätelöä" heißt.

Finnisch ist eine prägnante Sprache. Ein finnisches Wort kann viele Dinge
auf Deutsch bedeuten. Warum Zeit vergeuden und "Ausschuss zur Durchführung
von Verhandlungen über die Einstellung von bewaffneten Feindseligkeiten"
sagen, wenn man doch ein einfaches Wort wie "aseleponeuvottelutoimikunta"
benutzen kann?

                                   Finnisch lernen gibt Selbstvertrauen.

               Wer Finnisch lernen kann, der kann wirklich alles lernen.

Die finnische Sprache hat längere und bessere Flüche als jede andere Sprache. Im Lichte dieser Fakten muss jedermann sofort zu dem Schluss kommen, dass die Einführung des Finnischen als Weltsprache ein Segen für die gesamte Menschheit sein wird. Ein Problem, das dann auf uns zu kommt, ist, die restlichen 99.95% der Weltbevölkerung dazu zu bringen, Finnisch zu lernen.

Wir haben beschlossen, den Rest der Welt an unseren Erfahrungen mit dieser
Sprache teilhaben zu lassen, und nach einigen Monaten intensiver - und
manchmal verzweifelter - Forschung haben wir die folgenden Methoden
entwickelt, um das anzugehen, was sich bis jetzt als eine der gewaltigsten
linguistischen Herausforderungen der Welt erwiesen hat.

Substantive und ihre Fälle:
Denken Sie daran: Selbstvertrauen ist der Schlüssel zum Erfolg. Niemals
zweifeln! Wenn Sie beabsichtigen, ein Substantiv zu gebrauchen, sollten Sie
sorgfältig die Situation überdenken, wobei Sie das folgende Schema benutzen: wie heißt das entsprechende Substantiv auf Finnisch? Einzahl oder Mehrzahl? Welcher Fall? - Nominativ, Akkusativ, Genitiv, Essiv, Partitiv, Translativ, Inessiv, Elativ, Illativ, Adessiv, Ablativ, Allativ, Abessiv, Kommitativ oder Instruktiv? Ist es möglich, die Benutzung des Substantivs zu vermeiden? Haben Sie all dies in dem berühmten Bruchteil einer Sekunde überdacht, atmen Sie tief ein und sprechen die erste Hälfte des Substantives mit erhobener Stimme aus, die dann in ein feines Wispern absinkt, wenn die Endung des Substantives ausgesprochen werden soll. Diese Methode, Ihre Erfahrungen in der Benutzung der Fälle zu demonstrieren, wird wärmstens empfohlen; denn schließlich - wenn Sie selbst nicht feststellen können, ob Sie alles richtig gemacht haben, kann ebenfalls kein Finne oder sonst jemand feststellen, ob Sie es falsch gemacht haben. Die
grundsätzliche Sache ist, voller Selbstvertrauen zu erscheinen.

Zahlen
Oberflächlich betrachtet, scheinen sehr wenig Ähnlichkeiten zwischen dem
finnischen und dem deutschen Zahlensystem zu bestehen. Zum Beispiel:
yksi – eins
kaksi – zwei
kolme – drei
neljä – vier
viisi – fünf
kuusi – sechs
seitsemän – sieben
kahdeksan – acht
yhdeksän – neun
kymmenen - zehn.
Auf den zweiten Blick allerdings werden einige Fakten deutlich, die dem
Anfänger helfen können: "kuusi" und "sechs" haben beide fünf Buchstaben.
"neljä" und "vier" scheinen um das "e" herum gebaut zu sein "seitsemän" und
"sieben" haben offenbar den gleichen Ursprung (beide fangen mit "s" an)
Weitere Tricks, um Zahlen zu lernen: Vergessen Sie die deutschen Zahlen
komplett. So sind Sie gezwungen, die finnischen zu benutzen, um sagen zu
können, wieviel Uhr es ist. Falls Sie dadurch später Probleme bekommen,
wenn Sie Deutsch sprechen müssen, können Sie ein finnisch-deutsches
Wörterbuch benutzen, oder, wenn es nur um Zahlen bis zwanzig geht, ihre
Finger und Zehen zur Hilfe nehmen. Vergeuden Sie nicht Ihre Zeit, Zahlen
über zwanzig Millionen zu lernen. Es ist höchst unwahrscheinlich, dass Sie
einmal so viel Geld besitzen werden - nicht einmal in Finnmark!

Monate und Tage
Sagen Sie "erster Tag", "dritter Tag", "zweiter Monat", "Monat vor dem
vorletzen" usw. Das erspart Ihnen zwei Jahre, in denen Sie Namen auswendig
lernen müssten und lässt Ihren Gesprächspartner die ganze Arbeit tun.

Direkte Objekte
Die meisten finnischen Grammatikbücher sind besonders einfach zu verstehen,
wenn es um "direkte Objekte" geht.
Es geht ungefähr so: Ein direktes Objekt im Finnischen (allgemein
"Akkusativobjekt" genannt) kann im Nominativ, Genitiv oder Partitiv stehen.
Um alles noch leichter verständlich zu machen, werden Nominativ und Genitiv
"Akkusativ" genannt. Außerdem gibt es noch einen richtigen Akkusativ, der
aber keinen besonderen Namen hat. Große Vorsicht ist erforderlich, wenn
grammatische Bezeichnungen konstruiert werden. Wenn Sie das Wort
"Akkusativ" sehen, kann es Nominativ oder Genitiv bedeuten, aber niemals
Akkusativ; die Bezeichnung "Nominativ" kann Akkusativ bedeuten oder
vielleicht Nominativ; "Genitiv" kann Akkusativ bedeuten oder einfach nur
Genitiv, während "Partitiv" immer Partitiv ist, außer es könnte Akkusativ
sein.

Verben
Der beste Ratschlag ist: benutzen Sie überhaupt keine Verben!
Eventuell können Sie es ein wenig schwierig finden, eine längere
Unterhaltung zu führen, aber fleißiges Üben macht Sie erfahren. Wir
verringerten die Anzahl von Fehlern um 20% mit der Methode, Verben
fortzulassen. Sie können weitere 15% schaffen, indem Sie alle Adjektive,
Adverbien und Pronomen weglassen, allerdings droht dann die Konversation
auf ein sehr niedriges Niveau abzusinken, falls Sie keine Erfahrungen mit
Ihren Händen haben.

Aussprache
Einige schwierige Laute und ihre korrekte Aussprache:
·    “ää” wie in "Nähe", jedoch länger und intensiver, Mund so weit offen                               wie möglich, Ohren weit nach hinten gestreckt;
·    “äy” halb Palatal, halb Alveolar, halb Dental, verächtlich erscheinen;
·    “yö” seien Sie sehr vorsichtig damit;
·    “rr” stark gerollt, lose Zähne sind hier hilfreich.

Thumbs up for Jonna Nygren! =)

 

An interview with Jonna for the Iltalehti newspaper:

"Jonna Nygren, 25, has a strong handshake. Her glance is straight and eyes amazingly green like emeralds. Her fiancé s eyes are the same, with a hint of Aegean ocean s blue in them. Abroad people often think that HIM s frontman and his model fiancée, 173cm and 50kg, are siblings. Even their mothers agree that they look suprisingly alike." In order to read the interview you do click in "leer mas" . Credit: Province

Jonna has some Gypsy blood running through her veins.
- That s why I ve had a very strict upbringing. My grandpa made sure that everyone had good table manners. Parents have to be respected. You have to be honest, Jonna explains.
Jonna s mother was 17 when she got married to the blue-eyed white man. Jonna was born first, then her little brother. Jonna s father now has three sons with his new wife, the youngest is only one and a half years old. Jonna s mother on the other hand has a seven-year-old daughter.
- I love my little sister and brothers very much. Mom and Dad have always been my real parents. But because they are so young, we re probably more like friends than what average children and parents are.

Jonna says that she and Ville want to have children too. But they are in no hurry; Ville s only 28 after all.
- I suffer from a terrible fear of giving birth, though. I wonder how I could get rid of that? Maybe it fades once you get pregnant. Surely they ll get the baby out somehow!
Jonna doesn t think that getting married is absolutely necessary, even if they d like to have children.
- Oh, the children would be bastards, she laughs.

Eventhough Jonna s been the host for music programs on MoonTV and SubTV and worked as a model for Paparazzi, she is somewhat of a stranger to the major public, except as Ville s girlfriend and now fiancée. The reason probably is that she lived mainly abroad for three years. She lived in Manhattan with some models she knew, until she rented a 20 square [meter] flat for herself. In summer she used to come to Finland to work at restaurants, and the winters she spent in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.
- Apart from English I also speak some Bahasa Indonesia, because I used to live in small fishing villages, away from tourism. Altough there were some surfers there every now and then. I don t surf myself, because I don t like the water. I can t stand it when I can t see the bottom of the sea. I suffer from a mild fear of closed-in places.
- But I like the Asian culture. Eventhough Europeans would think that they re lives are in very bad condition, they can still be happy.

One of Jonna s Finnish-English friends has founded a Children s home in Nepal. Jonna is planning on going there to work and help out someday, for longer than just a few days.
- My dream is to study to become a child therapist when I m older. I d like to be able to help the abused little ones. Many have to suffer a lot of damage because of their parents substance misuse problems or sexual abuse, for example.
Jonna s mother works as a therapist.
- Mother Amma and her messages to the world are important to me. When I read her books, it makes me want to care about people the same way, without demanding anything from anyone.

Soon it s been two years since Jonna started going out with a man that many girls and boys would like more than just HIM s music from.
- In Finland we basically just hang out. Watch dvds at home and meet friends in safe circles. Ville is the cook in our family. He cooks lovely Eastern food.
Jonna can t get Ville to join her at the public swimming pool where she goes to exercise and do water walking.
- At our friends summer places we can then relax naked. I fell asleep in the sun a couple weeks ago, so now I definitely don t have any sun lines, she smiles.

The love for Ville Valo was the final reason for Jonna to return to Finland in November two years ago.
- The other reason was Finland s cheap medical care. In New York I had to spend hundreds of dollars a week to a doctor. The pollution and the air-conditioning indoors made my asthma so bad, that I had to breath with the help of an apparatus.
Jonna s health has gotten better in Finland. But still she never leaves home without her inhaler.
- I had to quit smoking because my asthma got worse. Nowadays I smoke whenever I m at a bar. I simply like to have a smoke when I m drinking. Of course it s not wise - it wasn t wise when I did ballet and show dance and modern dance either.
And of course smoking doesn t fit a person who goes to the gym in winter to run on a treadmill and goes jogging for an hour every summer morning.
- No, I don t have poles with me. I can go fast enough without them, she laughs at my question.

She hasn t got her singer-songwriter excited about extra sports.
- I never think of Ville as the Ville Valo from HIM who s already, before the age of 30, earned so much money with his music that he d never have to work again to live a normal life.
- I consider Ville to be normal guy. All the fans and stuff seem really weird for me!
The magazines reported earlier that Ville and Jonna got engaged at Ruisrock and got theirselves Dilligaf tattoos that stand for Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck.
- Actually we ve been engaged for a long time already. We got our engagement tattoos at Ruisrock though, but they re not Dilligaf, Jonna says and shows me her left ring finger that has a beautiful V on it. Ville has a J on his.
- I have eleven tattoos. They are just pieces of flesh. Also Ville s V on my finger is a piece of flesh, just like we re a piece of each other s lives. If we break up someday, that part of our lives will be over.
Jonna doesn t wish that to happen, though. That s why she doesn t want to get a permanent job even in television, although she is fascinated by it. That s why she is working as a waitress and a model.
- I don t want to be clinging to Ville at every gig he does. But I want to be able to go with him when we both feel like it."

sorry, but i just HAD to post this quote...I love it...: ) it's from an interview of the german newspaper "Bild" , to Uschi's 60th b-day.

BILD: Was ist die Botschaft Ihres Lebens?

Glaub an deine Träume! Lass dich nicht von Sicherheitsdenken beirren! Es gibt keine Sicherheit – außer eben sich selber. Man muss das tun, wo das Herz ist. Nur dadurch wird man überleben – und eine glückliche Person sein. Glaube an deine Träume! Lass dich nicht beirren! Lass dir keine Angst machen!

 

hell yeah, you're damn right! : ) Uschi Obermaier for ever! XD :DD altough I don't like Groupies...hehe XDDDD :D

Interview with Ville Valo&Migé Amour 3.6.2000 (german)

Daniela: Inwiefern unterscheiden sich die deutschen Fans von den finnischen?	Ville: In erster Linie sind die deutschen Fans enthusiastischer und begeisterungsfähiger. Die finnischen Fans sind etwas kühler. Migé: Die deutschen Fans bewegen sich mehr während unserer Konzerte.
Maria: Was vermisst ihr am meisten, wenn ihr auf Tour seid?	Ville: Ich vermisse meine Freunde.
Maria: Alle Künstler beobachten ihre Umgebung und ihr soziales Umfeld, um sich für ihre kreativen Arbeiten inspirieren zu lassen. Wie bist Du zu einem "Beobachter" geworden?	Ville: Es ist eher ein Beobachten des eigenen psychologischen Weges. Man ändert seine Weltanschauung. Jeder Mensch wächst schließlich im Laufe seines Lebens. Ich sehe mich nicht als Künstler, sondern einfach als "Post-Teenager", der versucht, mit der Welt klarzukommen. Das ist meine ganz persönliche Therapie.
Daniela: Wie überzeugt bist Du von einem neuen Song?	Ville: Meistens sehr. Wenn ich von einem neuen Song nicht überzeugt bin, beschäftige ich mich nicht weiter damit. Ich versuche, keine mittelmäßigen Songs für die B-Seite zu schreiben. Ich versuche einfach, mein Bestes zu geben. Ich schreibe lieber zehn gute Songs für ein Album, als zwanzig mittelmäßige.
Daniela: Welchen Künstler würdest Du gern einmal treffen bzw. mit welchem Künstler würdest Du gern zusammen arbeiten?	Ville: Jeder hat seine Idole, die er gern einmal treffen würde. Als Heranwachsender verliebst Du Dich in einen Song oder ein Album einer neuen Band, kaufst dann jedes Magazin, liest jeden Bericht, den Du nur finden kannst, um so viel wie möglich über deine Idole zu erfahren ... Ich glaube, ich möchte mit niemandem arbeiten außer mit HIM.
Maria: Könntet Ihr Euch eine Zusammenarbeit mit einer anderen Kunstform vorstellen?	Ville: Wir haben ja bereits den Song "Join me" zu dem Film "The 13th floor" beigesteuert. Es macht Spaß, die Musik für einen Film zu schreiben. Migé: Mich würde es sehr interessieren, Musik für ein Theaterstück zu schreiben. Ville: Es wäre auch interessant, Rockmusik mit modernem Tanz zu verbinden. Mir wäre es dann wichtig, wenn die Musik und der Tanz eine Einheit bildeten. Man muss den Sinn der Bewegungen wirklich spüren, um die Choreographie richtig rüberbringen zu können.
Maria: Wieviel Stille brauchst Du vor einem Konzert?	Ville: Mittlerweile bekommen wir backstage größere Garderoben, was schon ziemlich hilft. Wir sind innerhalb der Band eine so gefestigte Gemeinschaft, dass wir nicht jede freie Sekunde miteinander verbringen müssen. Jeder von uns hat seinen Freiraum.
Maria: Flamenco-Tänzer bekommen einmal in ihrem Leben einen sogenannten "Duende"-Zustand, was bedeutet, dass sie nur noch fühlen und der Kopf vollkommen ausgeschaltet wird. Hattest Du schon einmal einen derartigen Zustand?	Ville: Ich bekomme diesen Zustand in jedem Konzert. Je mehr Routine man auf der Bühne bekommt, desto freier und gelöster wird man. Es ist wirklich schade, dass Flamenco-Tänzer diesen Zustand nur einmal im Leben haben. Das ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum ich nicht Flamenco-Tänzer geworden bin ... Migé: Innerhalb der Band zeigt sich dieser Zustand anhand eines sehr starken Gefühls der Zusammengehörigkeit. Es ist ein Gefühl völliger, innerer Ruhe, vergleichbar mit dem der indischen Mantras.
Maria: Langweilst du dich oder bist du manchmal frustriert mit dem, was du tust?	Ville: Natürlich. Jeden Tag. Jeder Mensch langweilt sich doch mit den Dingen, die er täglich tun muss. Es ist ein ganz wichtiger, psychologischer Gesichtspunkt, dass man sich dann über seine Prioritäten klar wird und sich wieder daran erinnert, warum man angefangen hat, zu tun, was man tut. Und dann findet man heraus, dass da viel mehr "Pro's" als "Contra's" sind.
Daniela: Was würdest du tun, wenn du nur noch einen Tag zu leben hättest?	Ville: Wir würden wahrscheinlich ein Konzert geben. Ich würde ein Bad nehmen, eine Menge Kaffee trinken, viele gute Freunde treffen und eine Party feiern.
Maria: Würdest Du den letzten Tag in Finnland verbringen?	Ville: Ja, wahrscheinlich, weil dort alle meine Freunde sind.
