I think what happens with Ville in the US, is that as the venues grow bigger all the time, he needs a little getting used to the pressure. I'm quite sure it's only about nervousness and not about him "not enjoying performing in the US". As far as i've understood, getting to perform at big arenas and stadiums in the US is one of their dreams, so it can't be that he doesn't enjoy it. It must be quite difficult to go from clubs of <1000 to stadiums of tens of thousands of people...ummmmno, you're wrong. completely in fact.Some of their best shows have been in front of 60,000-100,000 people at festivals in europe.Nothing in America compares to what they've done in Europe. They just play a shitload of shows in the US. In Europe they pop out maybe 10 at most, US is usually pushing 20 shows a tour after the 04 tour.If you really knew what you were talking about, you'd know that Ville was completely wasted on alcohol while performing for the first time at the Madison Square Garden, because he was completely unnerved because of the importance of the situation.America is the place you have to conquer if you want some relevance in the international music scene, so playing a gig for 60.000 in America is more important than playing a gig for 60.000 in Europe, in that sense.And again, they've played big FESTIVALS in the past in Europe, but never a tour like Projekt Revolution, and definitely haven't played any stadium concerts in Europe before this year. Only recently they've played at legendary European venues like Wembley, supporting Metallica. And maybe even you know what happened there.And fuck it, who cares. I already told you that they've played shitty gigs at Tavastia, aswell as amazing gigs at the same place. Maybe Ville is fucked up because he is sober at the moment. Maybe the Project Revolution tour sucks. Maybe he'd rather be at Lost & Found downing some beers with some Jägermeister on the side.

when did HIM play madison square garden? i dont remember thatHe was completetly trashed at the bowery show in NY
Maybe thats because of his best friend's suicide
HIM in general are a boring band live, like they sound great and shit but no one moves around much
Sometimes when things like this hapen...http://www.youtube.com/v/1OOgLgYVg1Ytouring isn't enjoyable.
