A musician known from the band HIM Ville Valo comments on Bam Margera’s statements that Valo contributed to his alcohol problem.

Skater and stunt star Bam Margera, known from the Jackass show, said in August Steve-O’s in the podcast that he modeled Valo’s alcohol use in the early 2000s. Since then, Margera has struggled with substance abuse problems for a long time and has been in court-ordered rehabilitation.

Valo was asked about Margera’s speeches recently Radio Rock in the interview. He says he was surprised by his old friend’s claims.

– We Finns tend to blame everyone else for all our problems, says Valo.

– Vanhana says that the ability of today’s young people to take responsibility for their own actions, good and bad, has somehow weakened greatly.

Bam Margera said that he admired Ville Valo and imitated his behavior. a.o.p

Valo continues that you cannot blame someone else for your own mistakes.

– Shouldn’t you take responsibility for your own mistakes if you do something stupid. Otherwise, you won’t learn from it if you blame that “if that Sam hadn’t been there, I would never have peed my pants.” It doesn’t work like that.

Margera said on his Jackass colleague Steve-O’s podcast that he imitated Valo’s behavior in the past years when they were friends.

– If he bought a pack of cigarettes, I bought one too. If he was drinking, I was too. If he drank a shot of sambuca, so did I.

He says that he admired how all Valo had to do was walk the streets of Finland and people fainted around him.

For a turning point, he recounts the morning when he saw Valo open a can of beer right after waking up. Margera had never seen anyone do that before.

– He asked if I wanted too. I said I wouldn’t let him drink alone, but this is crazy. It was the first time I drank during the day.

Margera was in the headlines this summer after escaping rehab and disappearing. According to TMZ, the reason for running away was that he had divorced his wife From Nicole Boyd and Boyd had forbidden Margera to see their child.
