Newer stuff has some dope songs too. Not My Funeral is like one of their best more recent songs. Hexed has some really good old-school Bodom feeling songs too. But yeah, their first like 5 albums are masterpieces. RIP to Alexi Laiho. Biggest influence ever to me growing, and one of the best guitarists of all time
More metal from Finland! Thank you very much, great reaction once again! Those guys truly are great musicians... Guitarist/singer/songwriter Alexi Laiho has been voted as a worlds best metal guitarist in Guitar World magazine 2009 and in Total Guitar magazine 2011.
Guitarist and songwriter sure, but to me as an OG listener the singing part was always the weakest point of Children of bodom, I dislike Alexi's singing(and screaming) in 90% of their songs :(
Such a great band! Remind me my adolescence, where me and my friends were completely shocked by their sounds and mix (like a death and power metal). I still have my "Hatebreed" album t-shirt (eventhough it doesnt fit me hahaha)
COB is surely one of the most enjoyable band to watch when they play! It's captivating to watch their fingers move almost inhuman speed! Amount of talent is insane!
Still remember first time I met Alexi. Didn't know who he/COB was. They were an opening act. Arrived at venue early bc GA/pit tix, needed to piss, went behind small venue, Alexi said something along the lines of "nice piss," it was like Austin Powers long. Alexi was sitting at the back service entrance with his guitar unplugged just practicing scales. We talked for at least a half hour, carried a full convo, he never stopped practicing. Funny, humble. Entire time, I thought he was a roadie. Later, I'm front row pit, COB introduced, he comes out, I point at him with a "WTF?!" expression, he just smiles and tears the place down. This was EARLY 2000's.
I remember listening to them by accident in 2003. So in my local radio station, there was a segment called Midnight Metal and the radio dj plays a Europe’s cover (Final Countdown) but he gave credit to Children of Bodom (it was never them) but a Swedish metal band called Dispatched.
My ex introduced me to them about 20 years ago. Funny thing is that I wasn't into metal back then. I listened to grunge and even soul music. All metal sounded the same to me back then. Bunch of noise and screaming. But Children of Bodom stood out to me because of their melodic aspect and the play between guitar and keyboard. That made it acceptable to me for my ex to krank up the volume. lol. If he only knew I now listen to it by myself on high volume. I listen to other genres too, but metal is no 1. My favorite of them is Mask of Sanity. Please, can you do a reaction vid to that one? Puppy please?
Ah, yeahhh...like others this takes me back, in my case to the start of my college years. Playing along to CoB songs were the primary reason I kept a guitar tuned to D and/or Drop C.
Hey you can watch some song from a 2001 concert in Korea, Seul, they were very young back then and that concert is SO GOOD, they also played some of their best songs.
Follow The Reaper is soon gonna be tattooed on my forearm in honour of Alexi :) to remember him and also to remember that the reaper can come for us at any time, so we should live while we still can :)
You guys want to have more Finnish views? Sure, keep up with the finnish bands etc, but we people LOVE some COB/Laiho. We miss the fucker. Also they have many songs to react to.
old Children of Bodom was so good. happy i got to see them live a few times.
Cobhq for life man. Even their new stuff was good. Not a single album I couldn’t find at least one track I can jam to.
@@davidcolon2735 I agree, love all of their albums.
@@davidcolon2735 agree.
im so glad i got to see them live aswell

The entire Follow the Reaper album (2000) is a classic. It's like a classical music score turned metal.
I think FTR album is more like movie song album. Two first albums are more neoclassical.
@@kimmorintamaki4422 always felt the same
R.I.P. Alexi, you will missed very much,41 years old is way too young ❤️
RIP, I was devastated when I head of his passing. Rock on Alexi!!!
Are you fucking kidding me, he died? Man 2020 was such a brutal year wtf...

@@Lamren I love his singing. It suits the music perfectly
Silent Night, Bodom Night from the same gig
Childhood memories! I HATE tht I never got to see them live before Alexi died! He was such a legend! Rock in peace Mr. Laiho!
alexi laiho the true wizard with his guitar. i dont sleepy anymore :) thanx to reaction and have great weekend there.

Not just talent, but stage presence, energy and charisma like no other. Fucking legendary! Rest in peace Alexi!

Thats awesome. I was lucky enough to meet COB at a Mahem fest back in 2013. They took time with everyone and signed everything. Very chill guys.
my absolute fav metal band...if not fav band ever... there is soooo much talent in these humans...its so uplifting and incredible... love love love...
Alexi laiho is dead. Past away last week his home in Helsinki. I'm so sad.
He past away in December, right after Christmas. So that’s two weeks, not one week before your comment.
I have seen this band over 6 times live, been a fan since 2006 and I was 7yo at that time. Simply the best band

Cobhq for life \m/
@@VanJR. it was them, COB covered Europe
@@VanJR. Actually it was the band Norther (very similar to COB), on their album "Dreams of endless war" (track 9).
I saw them in their first show in America and F yeah it was in Texas. I played on the same stage🤘
Now, he followed the Reaper :( rip Alexi forever a Legend.
Anyways great Reaction. :)
To start from "Bodom After Midnight"... seems pretty symbolic now. Or seemed.
Awesome thank you, you two rock! \,,/
Oh is miss that metal machine live shows 🥺
It was like big block engine. Noisy and sharp even second last gig ever they played.
My ex introduced me to them about 20 years ago. Funny thing is that I wasn't into metal back then. I listened to grunge and even soul music. All metal sounded the same to me back then.

Mask of sanity has aleays been my favorite!

That guitar trick in the beginning, I've seen CoB live 9 times and Alexi always fuck it up xD First time I've seen him catch it haha
Bodom is awesome
he's so short! lol im surprised he was able to complete the Guitar flip.
Ah, yeahhh...like others this takes me back, in my case to the start of my college years. Playing along to CoB songs were the primary reason I kept a guitar tuned to D and/or Drop C.

Bodom degenerated slowly but steadily ...kinda what bands do. I.E Metallica, SSlayer best examples. Somewhere creativity is lost....and enough money.
