http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/20633.htm   "DRUNKEN VALO TRASHES H.I.M SELF   November 17, 2004 -- BOOK Ville Valo for being DWS — that's drunk while singing.   Valo, lead singer for Finnish quartet H.I.M., was so smashed onstage at Irving Plaza that he took what started out as a fairly good set and proceeded to crash it into the dirt.   Valo appeared to be the only band member to indulge — and his behavior during a New York gig, the band's most important concert since it emerged on the Scandinavian music scene in the late '90s, obviously embarrassed the rest of the quintet.   As they delivered lite-metal with solid musicianship, Valo slurred his way through the songs, forgot words and sang so softly that the lyrics were inaudible.   If he took a lesson from dead rock stars like Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin, he'd know: If you're going to get wasted onstage, you better be fantastic.   He wasn't.   Instead of projecting the demeanor of a songful, sinful, bacchanal-loving hedonist, he was more like a pathetic skell who wandered onstage and got caught in the lights.   His performance worsened as his bender progressed, save for his midconcert rally with two covers, Chris Isaak's "Wicked Games" and Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man," which he unfortunately credited to the late Johnny Cash.   On records, Valo sounds like a talented fellow, but this concert proved that he has no respect for the audience or himself. More disturbing than his drinking was how he'd take a swig of beer and toss the remainder of the can over his shoulder to spill onto the stage.   Not only was it a waste, a kid had to scramble on his hands and knees to wipe up the mess. Valo drank a six-pack that way, demeaning an associate each time.   He's a singer with an ego bigger than his talent who thinks the world of himself. Too bad he's such a terrible judge of character."   Voihan toki myös olla että keikka on ollut ihan hyvä, mutta toimittaja ei vaan pidä Himmistä ja päättänyt kaataa paskaa niskaan kunnolla. Mene ja tiedä, vaikea sanoa kun en ole tuota keikkaa nähnyt. Tuskin toi nyt bändin mainetta kuitenkaan kaataa, sattuuhan noita aina rokkibändeille. Toivotaan että menestystä tulee HIM:ille jenkkirintamalla.
