The very first time i saw HIM live in 2000 i was blown away by what Ville can do with his voice. He is a very low baritone(which means he has a deep singing voice) but is capable of high's that Rob Halford would be proud of! Every time i mention this to another HIM fan they have no idea what I'm talking about. Personally i think Ville is massively underated as a vocalist, its about time he got recongnised for the master he is!
-
yes i agree with you he does have a great signing voice but i dont think he is underated.
personally i think he uses his charming looks and outstanding voice to his own advantage. when have you seen an interview where the hold band speaks? its rare its always ville its like the band revolves around him instead of HIM.
-
yea very true, but ive never heard his vocal range metioned in an interview or article or whatever, to me is easily the most talented singer of our day.
-
there was an article on the los angeles times after the first US tour about his vocals.
and believe me he isnt the best singer of our time there are much more talented under rated guys/gals out there.
-
Ok then, give me another example of a guy that can sing bass, baritone and tenor. And has a unique tone to go with it
-
Ville's voice is just unique, of course mixed with his great talent to write songs that just hook you in the first listen. why the hell would someone hear great voices like those guys in the heavy metal bands but write the same old crap and sing the same old melodies?
-
ill name a mexican singer from the band jaguares
saul hernandez he is defenatly better then ville.
-
yeaaaah!!! Jaguares!!! Caifanes!!! el maestro Saul.
However there's this spanish singer that with similar vocal range... Enrique Bunbury.... 2 bad he lost his mind and sold himself out
-
something tells me homer is not gonna like that.
-
yeaaaah!!! Jaguares!!! Caifanes!!! el maestro Saul.
However there's this spanish singer that with similar vocal range... Enrique Bunbury.... 2 bad he lost his mind and sold himself out
yea he might have lost his mind......but Enrique Bunbury showed off his great talent, with some wonderful ass music.
-
enrique might be talented and all but he is just fucking straight up stupid. what possed him to say that all mexican females are ugly? that alone made me lose respect for him and his music.
-
He said that simply because he's gay! lol. Mexican girls are beautiful. My girlfriend is mexican from oaxaca and she's so damn beautiful that my heart pumps out everytime I see her!
-
that right there got you on my kool peopls list.
mexican girls are beautiful.
im mexican by the way and so is solitary gurl.
-
HELL YES WE ARE!!!
and im proud to be. ;D
-
Well I got to tell you, 90% of my friends in the web are mexicans, and you guys are so cool! I'm going to Oaxaca in late April, I hope so.
-
Let's check that out! ;)
-
I bet his high voice is entirely falsetto, which is cheating.

its obvious that you are in love with ville. its cool though at one point i was like that now im like MEH been there done that BORING!!!!!!!!!!!

If he is you you should definately send me a link to a website or something. I'd like to judge for myself, I'd be extremely impressed if he was. The only guy ive ever thought was in Ville's league was a guy called Peter Steele from a band called Type-O-Negative. He's one of Villes biggest influences aswell.
-
well no shit.
you need to get off from ville's balls and realize that he isnt as great as you think.
if you have any downloading software just download anything from jaguares.
he sings in spanish though so you wont understand shit he says
-
No need to get nasty
-
And get the fuck off here if you think Ville's voice is boring! I thought this was meant to be where HIM fans hung out
-
LOL noob
first learn your way around the forum and then talk shit ok kid. for example there is a modify button so you dont DOUBLE POST you idiot
-
I dont give a shit about fucking forum bollocks, im not a retarded geek that has nothing better to do than argue with people on this shit site, dont even no why i bothered to attempt to have a convo with someone o here, later fuckwits
-
If you think you are far too good for this site then why did you lower yourself to our level and come here in the first place? Also, why are you giving out orders in your first 15 posts? Nobody will even consider listening to you.
-
hey hey cut it out you guys. This doesnt have to be a topic for argue. Some might like Ville's voice, some dont. Being a fan of HIM doesnt mean that you have to think Ville's voice is the best in all around the globe. For example, I'm a great HIM fan, and if someday see Ville and the band live I will surely crap my pants, but that doesnt means that I think Ville is the greatest singer of all time. Be cool guys!! every opinion is welcome!!
Take care!! and cheers!!
And by the way.... happy weekend, go easy with the beers!!
See ya!

Ive already said, i dont know anything about forums and dont really give a shit to be honest. I just thought id make conversation with some dudes that like the same band as i do but i started gettin shit of some cunt
-
axl rose is one of the greatest singers in rock history. I hope ville could be one of them 2

like i said if you think Valo is one of the greatest lead singers of all time then there is something seriously wrong with you. He's good but not great. and i never said ville's voice was boring i said that at this time i find their music a bit boring i prefering listeing to other bands at the moment. I.E matisyahu he is great right adam?
EDIT
and believe me more then half this board agree with me
-
Even I do!
Well I don't know about this Matisyahu fella but yeah, Ville ain't that amazing.
-

What in the hell are you talking about? axle rose sunds like a dying cat. you may like them, but damn he is a terriable singer.
also, you should be able to tell if something is falsetto.....
Ville is a good singer, by far not the best.
-

Come on! gimme a break dude! You desperately need to hear more music. May I recommend hearing some Queen. Oh and by the way, axl doesnt sing, it happens to have a good throat and being a good screamer.
-
ville HAD a good vocal range. i have yet to hear it for a long while. DL is a terrible example of his vocal skills. and live, well i havent heard anything from recent tours so if someone would be so kind as to PM me a recent live song that would be grand.

I was starting to think that, until i saw them in London September 2005. I couldnt believe what i was hearing, he was putting in these screams octaves and octaves higher than anything ive heard him do before, and his voice is also getting more rough and ruggid by the year, hes starting to remind me of Johnny Cash now

well he is smoking a alot more than he used to (or i think) but it could be from the years and years of smoking and exhausting his vocal chords
-
yea very true, but ive never heard his vocal range metioned in an interview or article or whatever, to me is easily the most talented singer of our day.
1. Ville's voice is unique. mostly because hes from Finland and has the accent.
2. Ville is NO WHERE NEAR "the most talented singer of our day." he is good. but that fucking good. come on. no need to suck up.
3. the band does infact sadly revolve around Ville. and its because everyone talks about him, wants to be him, has sigs with ONLY him, makes topics about him, buys a certain magazine when he's on the cover blah blah blah blah...
my favorite part about Ville singing live is how he melodically screams...my flavorite...
i would give my right fingernail for a poster of each individual band member. live/promo whatever. i'd love to have a full interview (in english) where the whole band talks. or but its the media. they arent gunna just bring Gas up on MTV and expect the same amount of viewers as they would if Ville was on there...they'd get the bamfags, the HIM fans, the groupies, the cuntsmackers and the jews. they love it. if it was just Gas, they'd get HIM fans and a few bamfags who heard the word "HIM" on tv and decided to jerk off to a bam poster and tune in...

Hm, what's all this got to do with Ville's vocal range?
And why are people so mean to the person who started the thread?
It's a HIM fan forum, right? So fans can also talk about what a great singer he is.
I agree, btw... he is great. One of the most talented modern rock singers indeed. And in general one of the most unique voices in rock music that I've heard. Things he can do with his voice... I love it how he sounds different on every album and live.
-
ill quote nick on this one
1. Ville's voice is unique. mostly because hes from Finland and has the accent.
now about us being mean to him is becuase of shit his started on other threads plus he is as smart as a fucking prune.

its got about as much to do with me sticking my dick in your ass...
NO reason...except i fucking wanted too...thas why...
i was on the subject so i fuckin put it there...
-
I dont believe Ville Valo is one of the best vocalists alive but i do believe his vocal capabilities are shown in "Lose You Tonight :Caravan Version" ;D its a good ass song
-
Nice friendly people in here ::)
-
that we are infact we are the friendliest assholes you will ever come across....
[/sarcasm]
-
Ville is good not great. There you have it. I dont think he is infact unique, i mean he doesnt do anything extraordinary. Just sings and shit.

Dude, theres some damn fools on here who aint got a clue, they think they can be smart with someone thats been a musician and studied the topic for close to a decade. Youve got some sense though mate. Cheers for the backup.
And btw, to the guy/gal that told me to check out that Spanish band with the singer who has a better vocal range than Ville. I did. He's a first lyric tenor, almost the scientific opposite of what Ville is. ;D
-
he's never made it known how many octaves is he vocal range.Dunno if he, himself knows
-
I think Ville is a amazing singer. And about the in inenterveiw thing.... I've read a few artcles where Ville says the rest of the band just don't care for giving inenterveiws, and I believe him, because he really doesn't seem the type to hog to spot light. I could be wrong, but I don't really feel that way.
But I would like to hear Linde and Burton talk more.
-

Most (Male) Vocalist only perform in two to three viable tone of range. Depending on their style.
Odd as this is to say two vocalist who can actually do a four octave notation while singing is none other than Freddy Mercury and Axl Rose. (there are more, you just have to look around).
They have trained themselves to use a musical tone and actually sing in those tones that certain females (singers) have. Though they speak in a baritone style their singing range is (very) different
Ville can ony do two. Three if he squeals as he pretends to sing. (But it is two).
Experimenting usually leads you to sing in various tonalities and styles.
But if you want to learn faster, go to a School and see what they show you.
I can think of various musicians who can do a much better style in singing that Ville.

ill name a mexican singer from the band jaguares
saul hernandez he is defenatly better then ville.
im mexican and i disagree with you saul hernandez is a god singer before jaguares when he was on caifanes..
aand yeap mexican ladies are cute
-
I don't care how you sing as long as it fits the music.
-
well put, cory. i think ville's voice is hypnotizing but not the greatest, his song writing and arranging abilities way surpass his vocal abilities. plus it's fuckin rockn'roll you don't have to have a perfect voice. but what he does he does well. he's still my number one hero then comes daniel johns of silverchair.
-
Tauriainen, Mihai Traistariu(tornero singer from Eurovision) is known to have 5 and 1/3 octave range.Check him out if u want to,he's a great singer
-
Ville has such a great voice. It's great when he really gets into a song and sort of yells the verse, but it still has a singing quality to it.
-
Ive never thought he was the best, or even one of the best. Especially in recent time, as his smoking is getting the best of him :'( . But something i have always liked about his singing is how he jumps around in ranges. Like "wont you Die tonight for love" he sings the die higher. He does this alot in songs, its just the little things i like. Its not really unique to him, but its what I like bout his singing personally :)
-
It seems that his voice is going back to the good old times.
His recent live performances ( except the new tour for VD )haven't been such good as they can be.
-
He had a great voice, I just think with time with the smoking and everything, his voice and lungs arent as good as they were.
-
Also, if anyone doubts that he has good vocal range or not, check out the
berlin arena show, when he matchs what linde plays guitar in the same key.
Yeah He rocks
-
Indeed Ville has got one of the greatest voices. Any song he sings sounds awesome. But still I believe his voice is getting worse because of all that smoking.
-
Villes voice and way of singing is just...beautiful!!!
-
Man, all you need to hear that is It's All Tears (Acoustic). That song blows my mind, and I love it. It goes from like...Satan to Guy-Recently-Kicked-In-The-Jewels. It's awesome.

You're right! Love it, too!
-
Its so strange when he hits the higher notes. It sounds funny.
-
i miss his 2003/4 voice
Yessss! That was the best! I miss it too...But I love his original (GLSv.666) voice too! That was energic, sooo clear soft and heavy...
-
Ville's voice is very cool, but it was much better beteween 1997 until 2004 =/
-
i love ville voice but sometimes when he tries to scream the words it doesnt always come out none the less he is an amazing vocalist !
-
My favourite Voice was in 1997 - 1999 but the Arena Berlin 2000 is also mindblowing but the very deep 2007 - 2008 one is also cool^^
