During a recent conversation with NME, ex-HIM frontman Ville Valo talked about some advice the legendary Ozzy Osbourne shared with him.
As one of the greats of heavy metal, what incredible and rich wisdom could Osbourne have given Valo? Something about how to enrich his craft? Perhaps the secret in creating an epic heavy song?
Osbourne’s advice for Valo actually boils down to, “show them your tits.”
Part of this recent conversation involved Valo talking about his new solo record, titled Neon Noir. Prior to this interview, Valo had said that Neon Noir is “a teary mascara marathon between Robert Smith and Ozzy, with a dash of hope.”
When asked to share some memories involving Osbourne, Valo talked about the advice that the legendary metalhead had given him:
“I got to meet Ozzy once – it was pretty cool. The only thing I remember was that he told me, ‘If you can’t get the first row going [during a live show], show them your tits’.”
Valo is then asked if he has taken this advice, to which he says:
“I forgot it… all about it. Every time it’s been tested on-stage, I just get super nervous.
“But I should probably… that’s a good idea. On the next tour – on the setlist – I’ll write down, ‘Remember Ozzy’s wisdom regarding showing your tits when poop is hitting the fan’. It might work…”
Leave it to Osbourne to share such comedic advice. What do you make of Osbourne’s suggestion to the ex-HIM frontman?
