thx for link

hmmm....pics are kinda strange...cant even explain why

[Katherinelove]

I can`t say that it`s very beautiful photos, not very good foreshortening, but not bad

[HIMika666]

Now i can explain...I think we worry too much about Ville... So, again pics look like he didn't least for year now....So thin, so pale... I hope I am wrong but he doesn't look happy or satisfied on those pics

I don't like these pictures, too. The photographer doesn't seem to be bad judging from the work on his website, though.

Cyanea, can you give a summary of the article, please?

sure
there's nothing really new though

He talks about working on the new album. That he wanted to make a straight-forward-in-your-face album with direct lyrics and short songs. I really liked the analogy he made about a woman's scream when she's giving birth and psychological screams when giving birth to songs .

He also talks about how he doesn't want to settle down at all, that he doesn't believe in the practicality of marriage. That when he talks about love he's talking about that "life-changing, jaw-dropping moment when everything explodes into colours and you're a changed man/woman" (that's as close as i could remember his quote, which i also really liked)

And then he talks about his rehabilitation, how bad he was before getting sober and how it is now. That now that he's sober life seems harder to deal with and then he starts talking about how shitty the world is but we have to appreciate being miserable, blah, blah, blah.

He also talks about the evolution of the band, that he's surprised that they're still around and that it's felt like it's been actually different bands, because the band members have changed and so the music has changed.

He also mentions being diagnosed with heart failure or something, that he thought he had the flu, but it was actually something wrong with his heart.

That's all i remember now, but when i go back home i'll check if there's anything else that's interesting

About pics-I think it's the matter of foreshortening(if it is the proper world,I looked it up in a dictionary))
I think that it's also the matter of the photographer who doesn't know Ville at all(maybe,it's just my point of view)
And about the article-thanks to Cyanea for retelling it)
Heart attack?!??!!I can't believe!!

he didn't have a heart attack
he just said heart failure, i can't remember exactly what it was, when i check the magazine i'll let you know

[Jools]

Ohh,thanks!!I've begun to worry about him!

[evelyn]

Thanks for the info, Cyanea

[Burton_Girl]

thanks for the sum Helena ( i owe you a message on fb,didnt forget )... i like 2 or 3 photos ,but in general they aren´t nothing special..our Ville is older and skinny,but looks charming tho.

[evelyn]

Don't think it's a matter of Ville being older, but rather both (photographer and Ville) not being really inspired.... Or one totally tired, and the other one... who knows. A few shots look ok, but with some, I don't know, why is this Pepsi bottle in the picture? Would have been so much better without it. Probably you can't really make a lot out of ordinary lightening in a hotel room, but I couldn't help but thinking what the rest did look like if these were the best shots (I simply assume they are).

[Cyanea]

you're welcome
and btw, the photos from that link are not the ones in the magazine... i think those are better actually

@Luisa: don't worry about the facebook message, it's not really urgent
