Words cannot express how happy and excited I am to see a tribute to Alexi from all of these artists.
I guess this saves me the trouble of asking you if you've seen this :p
Absolutely! Still hard to believe that he's gone.
What are the others?
Can we expect a reaction someday soon, Tank?
Absolute legends they are !
This was a really fun project to do with so many awesome musicians involved! ❤️
Bobom and Alexi's playing have been an important inspiration for me since I first heard them in 1999 so it's great getting to pay a little tribute! 🤘
Glad to see you finally update your UA-cam :D
🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥
You are such an idol! Would you mind sharing how long it took you to master the solo?
Amazing guitar playing sir!
♥️ you Teemu
"I was only (21) 41 when I died." Great salute to Alexi. Hope to see more songs in the future. Thanks.
Your eyes are full of hate, forty-one. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive, its gives him strength.
Alexi totally deserves this, great idea guys.
I agree! He had such a hard run at life. He got kicked out of his own band right before he died. Poor guy. He did so many great things musically.
@@funnyberries4017 blah, it didn't happen like that. The guys clarified it in an interview a few weeks ago. It was 100% Alexi's decision. His hard life was him not taking care of himself above all else.
@@martsum398 phew I'm happy to hear it
Indeed!!
This was a rollercoaster of emotions! At first I thought Eluveitie had the largest swap of members with the most mega-artists of their genres, and then it clicked it was a collaboration effort. Alexi would have been honored by such a performance. Thank you to everyone involved with making this happen!
HOLY SHIT. This is the greatest cover of this song to date! Absolutely incredible group of musicians making Alexi proud
then you listen to the original and realise how flat this sounds
@@martsum398 Doesn't sound flat to me
Im always stoked when I see new videos of people still showing love to Alexi and COB. I first heard Bodom when I was 13-14 years old back in 2000. Today I am 35 and Alexi has been my favorite musician since I first heard him play. It's so great seeing really high quality Bodom covers but this one is definitely a different animal than most others. All of you are highly accomplished and respected musicians. To see musicians at this level get together to salute and honor Alexi is amazing. His music and guitar playing not only earned him the love and respect of his fans all around the world. He also earned the respect of his fellow musicians/peers. I'm still bummed he's no longer with us, but holy shit, that guy left the world one kick ass body of work to enjoy for the rest of time. Seeing a cover like this just helps solidify Alexi's legendary status for his contributions to music and guitar playing
I still jam bodom every day, it's the one band where it never gets old to play for me
@@martsum398 Bodom has been my favorite band for soo long, Bodom will never be out of rotation for me...It's too musically genius and amazing to not be heard...
There is a mask of sanity full Band cover on UA-cam. Check it out. It's insanely good.
I mean this one here is great too but that mask of sanity one.. They sound 100% like Bodom.
@@Sinthoras_96 the frosttide one? Yeah, it's great!
@@martsum398 yeah exactly. From the channel "ofdarknessandlight"
Alexi's (and Bodom's) music will continue to live on thanks to you beautiful artists, awesome job! ❤
Great, thanks, guys! And more. We need more badass rememberance of Bodom golden age and Alexi!
I saw and met you guys in Vegas on the 15 Year Anniversary Door when I was probably 18 and had a chance to meet Alexi just before their set started. I was holding him off from doing his entrance but he wasn’t miffed at all and it is one of the shows I’ll remember forever because of that experience.
Its not even christmas but im just here remembering Laiho :)
Holy Shit, this is great!
we met Alexi on Graspop Festival back in 2007, when we had our first appearance at graspop w/eluveitie
Small world... Seeing COB at Graspop in 2007 was my first concert ever!
I like how they split the solos it makes sense since there’s two of them
Thanks a lot people! Alexi would be proud! \m/
its crazy what alexi made. this song is what got me into bodom. and to this day it is my fav song. it inhabits all of the aspects of a classic bodom song. so unique
Rip Alexi 🌹 forever our wildchild
very nice played! and the song itself is brilliant
Sensational... That was a perfect performance & a Pitch Perfect Tribute to the Great Man. The outpouring from every side of the Metal Community, Both from Professionals & the Fans and from every subgenre imaginable, has been beautiful and they've all made it Loud & Clear that Alexi Laiho will never forgotten.
RIP Alexi & I hope you're enjoying the show from wherever you may be watching from
Melissa Bonny is FUCKING AWESOME ! RIP Alexis Laiho, we miss your awesome music ! Very nice cover ! Thank you !
That's some super group right there!! What a kick ass performance! 🤘🏻
Amazing cover guys!! loved it you should make at least one more! really enjoyed it
Excellent tribute guys. We lost a true metal titan and it still saddens me to this day! RIP alexi laiho and thank you for giving us a truly unique style of death and power metal combined.
Очень красиво! Спасибо! Порадовали!
Очень боялся, что со смертью Лайхо его наследие пропадет, забудется, растворится....но вы доказываете мне обратное.
Я очень любил это музыканта, и сам разучивал Бодомские композиции с удовольствием, но после его ухода садиться за инструмент стало очень грустно.
Царствие небесное тебе, Алексей.
...and although he died, it was as if our love for metal multiplied! ❤💥🖤
Damn ! That's cool !
As a teenager I listened to Children of Bodom sooo much !
And now, as a huge Melisaa and Eluveitie fan and hurdy player, I can appreciate that at so many levels... Thanks guys !
Brilliant version and a fitting tribute to a massive personality on the metal scene, Alexi Laiho would be proud
Amazing performance by everyone. Melissa keeps impressing me with her amazing voice, and that bass looks so fantastic 😍
such a flaaaawless solo!! Awesome work!
I’m a die hard Bodom fan have been for 22 years and it takes a lot to impress me…. But that was fucking awesome 👏🏻
What an amazing tribute to the One & Only, Alexi Laiho !!
Great performance by everyone. Congrats !!!!
Follow The Reaper is by far my favorite Bodom album, and this song is the icing on the cake.
I play this song on guitar and I am yet to master the solo. Watching Teemu (The Grand Master) perfecting it is so satisfying...
Thanks once again, and may your soul rest in peace, Eternal Legend !
I wish Alexi was alive and could see this...
You all did great
awesome job Teemu!
Jösses (=Geez in Finnish)...those vocals are insane!
And all the other musicians also. Great to see more sick solos from Teemu. I love their "Run for cover" stuff.
Seriously I didn't know her but she's fucking great.
That she is. Been a fan of her since i first heard her. Melissa Bonny is great vocalist.
I have no words. Absolutly the power of metal.
Metal makes people feel good, at least it does for me and ironically, metalheads are some of the nicest people lol.
Alexi would more than approve. Holy shit that was perfect.
This is so awesome. The guitars are literally perfect
This cover is... A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I love the original one since the eponymous CoB's album is out, but you guys make it soooo powerful, I freakin' love it ! Thank you :)
Umm. Yes. More Please. That was freaking amazing.
Very well done. You guys have done Alexi Laiho proud!! Cheers from Canada!!
Now the king of heavy metal can sit on his thrown with ease knowing that his legacy will continue through his fans
Whoa.
After Twilight Of The Thundergod another cover from Melissa where she fully unleashes her inner demon.
Mel, you really should do more stuff like this. 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
Word !
This si very beautiful. A great tribute to Alexi Laiho.
This is beyond amazing! You guys crushed this. Alexi would be proud. Such a massive loss to the world of music and metal. RIP Alexi! 🤘🏻
This actually made my hairs stand on end. Absolutely magnificent!
Such a team!!! Wow!!!
RIP Alexi. What a legend have you been. You music will live for you.
Sheeeeeessssshhhhh!!!!! Goodness Gracious as the old folks say!
Amazing, perfect job, well done. thank you for the memory of Alexi.
RIP Alexi. Perfect tribute.
Brilliant work from so many talented artists- this song has a phenomenal amount of power and energy behind it just like the original band!
Masterpiece and great tones all around.
Melissa Bonny 🔥
Wow, you all 😮! This was phenomenal 😀🤘👏👏👏, considering how much I appreciate the original! Special thanks to *Melissa,* from whom I learned of this Salute. Alas, I slept past the Premiere, and its now 5½ hours later 😅! This goes to a playlist 😁.
Melissa Bonny ❣
I think its great when so many musicians from different bands can come together in tribute of a fallen one........ Thank you for sharing
Great tribute, guys. We miss ya, Alexi. Sweet rests, where ever you have gone.
Awesome tribute to Alexi
Just happy to see Michalina and Melissa in same video :)
Damn. I'm out of words. This brings back so many memories. Great cover. Cheers!

Guitar solo is perfect 🤩

So beautiful and amazing. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for doing this guys, as someone said he was the Randy Rhoads of his era
His contribution should never be forgotten!
90% sure Zakk Wylde said that.
RIP Alexi 🖤🤘 This was great!
Oh man, so many good memories! Kudos to you guys. 🙏
I love this cover. And I think the quality of today's recordings show how far a remaster of the old albums would have gone...

I nearly couldn’t believe my ears. Wow!🤩
