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."

I've read this on a site...I'm afraid for him,I admit this...I just can't think that he could have health problems.3 packs per day is not exagerate,but it's not good either.I hope he is strong,and that he will be ok.I think he wants to explain that he would like to have a voice more deep that until now,but I consider that his voice was very deep from the very beginning.He said that his voice is like Mark Lanegan's voice,but it's not...Ville's voice is more deep,more warm,more emotionally,more sensitive than Mark Lanegan's.Lanegan's voice is not so deep,and not so emotionally.But I understood what Ville wanted to say,and what he was refering to..:).Rakastan sinua my baby :*

His voice wasn'r bad.And not at all.I was there too..When people see the concert which TVR 2 gave to us,they can't see how the things really were there.I have some films from the concert,made by some person who was at the concert, and who had a very good camera,and it's very different that the concert that we see on TV.I think that people forgot the sound there because of this transmision.In the films that I have,the sound is so deep,I can hear the guitar so clear,not like on TV, the bass has a groove sound,and Ville's voice has much volume, so to say,and the TV "cut" those things because of the sound.On TV we don't hear that volume,practically they "cut" the power of the sount there.Ville had,and has a great voice,and I think that his voice is the most mesmeric voice that exists.I can recognize him from a milion,without any effort.He's Ville, it can't be in other way than amazing,stunning,extraordinary beautiful and the most talented rock leader that the rock music ever had,and thet will ever have.

I know what u say, i saw the concert on TVR 2 too and the sound was really bad.A song very good where his voice was extraordinary was 'play dead'U right about Ville, he is amazing, extraordinary beautiful.But i have to say that in the concert the sound was bad too.....there i could'n hear his voice very much... Any how i said that his voice is not any more like before only bcz i think that the cigaretts are very unhealth for his throat and sure for his health .But the cigarettes made his voice to be weak than before, this is my oppinion.That's all.Ville is extraordinary and i hope that will be always.;)

DUDE, I've been there! To the concert in Sibiu, you know, and Valo was fn' awesome! The voice was perfectly heard, perhaps the TV systems weren't so good and that's why you guys couldn't get the best of it. It was the best Great Concert in past years that I've been to, and I've seen damn Rolling Stones and Muse (great also) and Prodigy (another masterpiece, but not as good as HIM was).
