"Like OMGz, HIM's awesome album Dark Light is the greatest everz!!! Wings of a Butterfly is their best song and the singer is so hawt!" - Winning entry...  ::)
Title: Re: Tour Contest & 2008 DVD
Post by: Davidson955 on July 02, 2007, 01:53:26 PM
sounds like a winning entry to me! The winner is prob going to be some 14 year old chick whose mom bought her Dark Light when it first came out. I think the winner should be a dedicated HIM fan from the first album all the way to Venus Doom. I will admit thats not even me. But hey, I hopethe winner is someone decent and not a 14 year old screaming little girl.

Haha, I think I have an idea for something unique that might win. I think I'd feel a bit awkward making them play a private show for just me, though.
Title: Re: Tour Contest & 2008 DVD

The private show will probably be an acoustic session.

Oh shit I forgot to make my video hahaha. Damnit.

I was thinking of having everything I do make a heartagram of some sort. Like take a dump and in the toilet is a heartagram. I look at the camera and say "... it looks right." And just use random Ville quotes in weird situations. Sadly I got called into work so I forgot. Damn.

Anyone that puts the amount of time it would take to win has to start really thinking about their life.

Sure you win a free DVD, but at the same time it just means you are one of the biggest nerds out there. So no one really wins.

Post by: mereanus on August 11, 2007, 07:46:22 PM
Ville and Migé said they don't want the DVD released. I guess, basically, the record company is making them do it and they don't feel they have enough material to put on it.
Title: Re: Tour Contest & 2008 DVD
Post by: dan666 on August 12, 2007, 10:32:48 AM
which means its coming from the record companie and has big chance of sucking

I haven't heard of Ville "not wanting" the DVD released but as far as I know, he wants these things done well. So at this point they're only talking about it and haven't set a date or anything. He doesn't want to rip off fans by just filming a gig and turning it into a DVD, like many bands do these days. According to him, a year and half was spent putting together Love Metal Archives, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this one to be released.

Ville also said they'd been thinking about filming some documentary type of thing with Meiert Avis... Apparently the plan was to film material during Projekt Revolution and also later this year during their headlining tour. Not sure how that worked out and whether they're filming already or not.

Oh, and this's coming from a radio interview Ville and Burton did a month ago.

is this the euro rock radio interview ur talking about?
Title: Re: Tour Contest & 2008 DVD
Post by: province on August 17, 2007, 01:46:10 PM
Um no. It's one they did for YleX, a Finnish radio station. I hadn't heard the Euro Rock interview until today and it seems like, during that interview, he was a bit more against the idea of a DVD than he was in the one I was talking about.

...

"ERR:  And you are doing a DVD right?  There's a DVD coming out next year?
 
Ville:  That's what the label wants.

ERR:  Is that what you want?

Ville:  No

Mige:  No, not really.  Because we already have a pretty good DVD out.  We don't have the material yet to match that so would be kind of stupid to put out the DVD just because you have to, because your label wants you to.  Wait until you have decent material for it.

Ville:  We'll probably shoot a show or two from the headline tour and see how it turns out.  If it's going be really good then...

Mige:  Then of course, yeah

Ville:  I don't know it depends also if it's going to released as the DVD, separate DVD or is it going to be a re-release of the album as what Greenday did. Just releasing the album again with the DVD cuz that's one way of pushing the album back up on the charts.  That's record company politics.  I don't really care.  But in that sense then it would be wise to re-release the album so then people - you know you pay 22 bucks, 23 bucks to get the album again you can give it to a friend, whatever, to get the DVD and some special artwork rather than buying a DVD for 25 bucks that's just got a boring gig in it.  We'll have to see."

Warner don't understand that it's not time to release new DVD. HIM have only 4 (or 5 if they make another one) videos, and on previous LMA they had 16 videos...

They're gonna get more and more footage for the dvd, They have been filming for ages now.
They filmed their show in Romania a couple of months back, so I guess the new dvd will include footage from the US and Europe, maybe even from japan.
Who knows, but it'll be amazing no matter what.
