HIM Bassist On Bam Margera Factor
Beat magazine caught up with HIM bassist Mige and asked if he ever finds the ‘Viva La Bam’ craze that has sewpt up his band a little suffocating. “Well, there are lots of smart people who say ‘all publicity is good publicity’,” he said. “Um, how should I put it? Perhaps this genre of our band is part of this kind of uh… entertainment that he does. All the ‘Jackass’ stuff and Steve-O stuff, perhaps it’s not exactly what we represent – he’s a skateboarder and comedian basically and we are this sort of tongue-in-cheek, serious heavy metal band, so I think it’s kind of interesting to see what comes out when these people get together and do things. So I don’t see it as a burden or as a negative thing; it’s more like an experiment. And we’ve been hanging around with Bam so much that it’s actually more of a friendship between us instead of combining our poor talents.”
