Ville Valo and Bam
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Bam can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. It can be an acronym for something Samuel L. Jackson has stitched into his wallet; it can be a defunct software company; it can even be a sound effect on Batman when somebody gets hit. But to Ville Valo, it’s the name of one of his friends.
Brandon Cole Margera, more popularly known as Bam Margera, is a popular American skateboarder with a penchant for MTV hits the likes of Viva la Bam and the insanely popular TV show and movie Jackass.
But he’s also dabbled in the directing field, and recently released a movie called Haggard that featured a character named Valo, played by Margera himself. The character was so named in honor of his friend. And, to kick that off, they have a professional relationship as well, as Ville Valo has provided music for a number of Margera’s works over the years.
