  • Interviewer:Since you became a full-time member of HIM in 2001, what has been the absolute highlight? And what's been the lowlight?
  • Burton:A very bizarre moment in a Moscow hotel in an elevator on the way down to the lobby, wearing nothing but a gas mask. Was that the highlight or the lowlight? Take your pick.

  • Interviewer:How do you feel to be returning to active HIM duty after a long break?
  • Burton:I feel fantastic and recharged. Why? Because I spent the break under palm trees on my private island with inspiring company and lots of piña coladas. I read a lot, and finished my concerto for two bagpipes and accordion. I played Chopin's mazurkas, skydived, started a delightful correspondence with the Dalai Lama and learned some Latin and Greek. Also of course I practised yoga and meditation with my guru Ashmiparavatidiapam. When I had some extra free time, I trained for an upcoming half-triathlon in Fiji and pondered this mystery: does a long fart feel something like an earthquake for your threadworms? So I'm totally prepared for the touring. I'm telling you the truth and only the truth here.

  • Interviewer:Do you feel essentially Finnish? Does your nationality affect and influence your outlook on life, on your philosophy?
  • Burton:I have contemplated this a lot. In the sauna. And felt Finnish.

amyleeisastupidfuckingwhore:

I love HIM and I love Ville to pieces. But people need to remember without Linde there’d be no kick ass riffs, without Gas there’d be no catchy beat, without Mige there’d be no melody and without Burton we wouldn’t have the beautiful solos - for example the introduction to The Sacrament.
Take…
