I think the hate for Bam is well warranted. Bam is ruining HIM's credibility in the US. His videos are travesties. He slaps the heartagram on everything that is his. The band is unavoidably linked to Bam. He's giving HIM bad publicity. Bam doesn't bother me when he does his thing. Actually, I admire him in that respect, but it's when he gets involved in HIM's biz. It's like he gets special privlages because he's a celebrity. The only reason they've hired Bam multiple times before to direct videos and whatnot is because he is cheap...and a friend of Ville's. He doesn't even have a college degree, much less a high school education, to qualify for what he's been doing. His videos are fucking terrible. If you go back and compare them to the earlier videos, you'll see that the new ones are uninspired piles of shit.I don't care if they're popular. It's when people like them for all the wrong reasons (ie Hot Topic). And Bam is BAD publicity. What they need to do is promote more...not just leave it up to Bam. Think about another band that you really like. What if some exasperating celebrity took it upon himself to promote that band by stealing their imagery and calling it his own. And from there on, everybody associated this band with that celebrity. It's just irritating that's all. You can't escape it. It deteriorates the band's credibility. It isn't just because it's Bam...I would be annoyed by it, be it the same situation, different celebrity.
Bam talked at length about Ville and HIM last night on his radio show, but didn't talk about any of this. He said that he saw Ville the other day for the first time in a long time, and they got wasted. He's heard the new album and is very giddy about it. Frantz made the comment that it's a lot more rocking than their last album. Bam told Ville that "Your pain makes me happy", to which Ville replied, "Shut the fuck up". Ville is apparently having issues with his love life again, and Venus Doom reflects that. The only other thing they mentioned was that while Ville and Bam were at club in LA, a paparazzi asked them what they think about Paris going to jail. Bam said that he really didn't care, so Ville chimed in, "They should give her the death penalty!" And apparently the two were photographed during an interview session, and both were so wasted that they were hanging all over each other. Bam said that he was kissing Ville at one point, and the photographer loved it. Apparently the two of them are still very much friends, but If anything we've heard about those remakes were true, im sure Bam would have said something.You can download the show from http://www.ipacmm.com/radiobam/, it's the 5-21 episode. They start talking about Ville around the 34 minute mark or so.
the Dont Fear The Reaper part of this rumor might be truebut i donno about Bam singing and the remake of The Sacrament......
