Cant believe he passed away...Rest in peace, wildchild, youll never be forgotten. Love your music, you helped me a lot in very difficult times. CoB was a huge part of my youth and still to this date I listen to your records, especially the old ones! What a musician :( Once again: rest in peace...
No, Follow The Reaper is the best album, Hatebreeder is 2 nd or third. Some ppl think Hate Crew Deathroll is better than Hatebreeder. I love all those 3 albums very much
Man. This man was my hero in my teens I’m so grateful to have seen bodom a bunch of times. Nothing has come close musically since in terms of their unique style!
The Coolest part I've Seen In The Band Is That Their Fans Just Love Them Even if the lead singer is focusing on his guitar and singing at the same time instead of concerntrating on the crowd...he is really a a great guy and to the rest of the band...their fantastic
Underrated! Dude he is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and one of the finest metal players. No one who knows anything about guitar underrates him.
Glad I got to see you guys twice. This is my favourite album and one of the favourite songs from you. Thank you for the music and rest in peace Alexi! /,,/
Damn, I miss this era of COB! They were more melodic and creative back then, and on "Follow The Reaper", they had perfected it all. With songs like Everytime I Die, Bodom After Midnight, Mask Of Sanity, Children Of Decadence, Hate Me, Follow The Reaper & Taste Of My Scythe, COB created something beautiful :o -They are still good, but have become too mainstream I think, taking the more extreme approach musically :/
Barış Arda Aslan well few bands are like Ulver in perfecting different types of music without going to easy generic stuff. but that's their right anyway.
I went to their Concert with Megadeth in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 incredible concert, I was 14 years old and I used to follow Alexi alot, now I just realize he died,GUYS WE HAVE TO FUCKING LIVE and get advantage of opportunities while we are in this world, happy Journey Alexi 🤟🏽
I was class 7 or class 8 when I first listened to metal music. And COB was my most favourite band. I even got caught for exchanging CDs with my friends. Love you COB!
Unreal. I can't believe that was a live performance. Absolutely blows my mind. I could sit here and tell you if I was blind that I could swear it was recorded in a studio, but around 1 minute the audience is the only part that gives it away. Superb band and performance.
Alexi Laiho was one freaking talented man. Great vocals, insane guitar player and to top it all, he was such a cool dude who was just right at home as a frontman.
Blo0dredRidingHo0d wht ever that is; i rarely have any idea of music terms, but i like that 23 sec in all video..... their stage performances r better than their album performances- its my personal opinion. but i like their sounds better than any other except LP, lol thank for reply and thank u. :)
Damnit I miss you Alexi! I was at your first show in America in Austin. I got to play on that stage after you. You were a huge inspiration on my guitar playing. Legends will live forever. 🤘
"Follow the Reaper", "Hate Me", and "War Heart" were the first Bodom songs I heard and I have followed them for years since I heard them. Great Vid and greater song.
@@blakestormcrow6275 yea i know and he is legend! just wanted to get the rest of the band some credit aswell... i wish i would have experienced cob earlier! rip alexi
@SilverNL92 I totally agree. An awesome introduction to the album. Love how it makes use of the keyboardist as well not just "screamo" or all solos, very balanced and has an incredible feel to it. Also, love how in the video they go from Bodom after Midnight into Reaper! Must have blown people's minds.
Now that he follows the reaper, I hope they're travelling to a better place. Thank you Alexi, a childhood idol to many
And as adults
I bet the Reaper kneeled in front of Alexi before taking him to the afterlife
I think Alexi is now a reaper Apprentice
well said! RIP Alexi.
The portal has been past
"Death be not proud
Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful
For thou art not so..."
Farewell, Alexi :(
@@frozenstarlight7782 You almost made me cry man 😭 Can't believe he is no more. Feels more when m fckn drunk 😭😭😭
my teacher said metal is worst. i was at my 17, but after that song i read all the "holy sonets" of John Donne.
Follow the reaper was absolute perfection. Guitar masterpiece
travis mmons The bible of guitar riffs. So many yummy riffs from this masterpiece
Kissing the Shadows and Lake Bodom are their guitar masterpiece, just in my opinion.
Not just guitars. EVERYTHING was perfection on that album.
Yes
Drink a lot of mead in Valhalla!
You will always be remembered!
Greetings from Norway!

Probably their best song, from their best album for sure.
Robbie Fitzgerald Hatebreeder is the best album but from follow the ripper is this best song

@@lashaxoperia5917 Hetebreeder is n. 1 ; FTR N. 2
@Shane Stewart Yeah they do but this one takes the cake for me.
amen man
REST in PEACE alexi , guitar god ! Best melodic death metal band ever
Needed to watch this just to remind myself Gods never die! NEVER!
RIP Alexi. You were an undeniable icon
I'm devastated, farewell Alexi...rip
Man. This man was my hero in my teens I’m so grateful to have seen bodom a bunch of times. Nothing has come close musically since in terms of their unique style!
An amazing song! One of my favourites from COB.
3:15 I eargasm every time
Raskalnikov same dude. Same
part always makes me feel so happy and so sad in one go, love these guys
This was one of the first videos I saw of COB, I will never forget the solo at 0:20 , it's just amazing. RIP
Sad that so many people knows this band after Alexi died😢
Agreed, but at least people are listening now. I first heard them in 2002/3 and was late to the party.
@@blakestormcrow6275 yeah but their legacy will live 😊❤️
How is that sad? I've been on their gigs few times, i
Loved it. When new fans come, great 😂
God damn I miss you Alexi.
REST IN PEACE ALEXI! YOURE ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER! GLAD TO HAVE SEEN YOU LIVE 🤙
I bet there was that one guy in the crowed who said "Yes" when Alexi asked if anybody wanted to go home and get some sleep
PERKELE!!!! :D
:Dd
136 people didn't follow the Reaper.
Dont worry. The reaper got them :)
160 actually ;)
Well them 160 can kiss MY bodom ass!
@@davidroldanmartinez8427 172 now but fuck it RIP my idol
Wild Child and COB at its finest, hell yeah!! Kiitos everyone for greatest Live show ever! Rest in Power, Allu 🖤🤍🙏🌟🇫🇮

REST IN PEACE YOU GUITAR GOD 🎸🎸🎸
Children Of Bodom is the most perfect band playing live
Metallica 1989 Seattle is the top
GleX :3 ummm gojira...ever heard of em? eh
Alexi Laiho is in my opinion an extremely underrated guitarist. I hope he rests in peace wherever he is.
Underrated! Dude he is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and one of the finest metal players. No one who knows anything about guitar underrates him.
far from underrated lol, he inspired a whole generation of guitar players to pick up the guitar
Thank you for the best years and best music ever
this what made me today. i loved metal because cob was my roots. you'll be loved alexi. rest in power
My throat is aching for trying to sing like him. What a human being. Lot of love for him and the band. Long live to COB forever and ever.
This sort of singing shouldn't hit the throat at all.
This entire band is filled with talent. I would like to mention that the keyboardist is a really good part of this band.
3:15 absolute heaven!
dual guitars -> fucking epic.
Bodom After Midnight hands down their best song goddamn
Glad I got to see you guys twice. This is my favourite album and one of the favourite songs from you. Thank you for the music and rest in peace Alexi! /,,/
I only got to see them play once in 2013, but it was a great show and such a solid performance. Alexi was truly special. Rest In Peace.
Absolutely incredible live ever !
perfect !
The GOAT guitarist of the 21st century as far as I'm concerned

Excellent band. Thanks for the moments!!!
One of the best displays of showmanship, talent, and personality I've seen in a long-ass time, just awesome.
I am 55yrs old and so impressed by there musicianship, i would like to see them live, they kick ass!
Hoping you got see them alive before he started following the reaper!
The world just got a little less metal ... R.I.P Alexi 🤘
This band really was world class for a short period of time
Wow! They sound so amazing live!
The portal has been past
and it’s time to make a turn
To follow the reaper
until the point of no return
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Alexi, you saved my life.
Me encantan los solos de esta canción!! Sencillamente geniales! ^^
Great sound! Thank's a lot, Alexi...
First death metal song I ever heard on Comcast on demand over a decade ago. I blame and thank you for my addiction Alexi
Awesome song, awesome band!!! Hail Children Of Bodom!!!!!
How he could sing and play rythym and kead like that is mind blowing.
That solo from the beginning and then the change of pace... perfection.
I love watching them at their prime !
I can just feel the energy
Fucking awesome
Красавчик был! Земля пухом! 🤘
This is such an epic concert. RIP Alexi! Hope youre doin well in the afterlife.

I think this song was built to play live! It's so incredible!!!
Alexi, the only guy who can play pathtically fast melodic solos while hammered
i knew them thanks to this dvd when i was 14.
now their my favourite band.
that just to understand how much awesome they are live
I was class 7 or class 8 when I first listened to metal music. And COB was my most favourite band. I even got caught for exchanging CDs with my friends. Love you COB!

i could play that solo in my sleep...when I'm dreaming ofcourse.
Alexi, why for the love of god did you follow the reaper? R.I.P. you will be sorely missed...
These guys are more than awesome. not just their songs are a lot better when played live, they also got something special we all metalheads look for
Alexi Laiho was one freaking talented man. Great vocals, insane guitar player and to top it all, he was such a cool dude who was just right at home as a frontman.
2020 in quarantine?
Yes!!!!
Yep still haha
i hope both chuck shuildiner and alexi play guitar in the heaven
I’m sure they are 🤘🏻🤘🏻kicking all kinds of ass
Thanks for everything Alexi, will always remember you
Still can't believe he's gone. One my heroes...
Alexi allways looked like Jay (Jay and Silent Bob) :)
0:44 hell yeah xD
yeap, time- 47 to 1:10, i want to is this the "Follow The Reaper" song or some of their extended version?

The first song of cob i hear 13 years ago..
Thanks for all, Alexi
love it! whats the song at the start of the video (im kinda new to COB)? sad to hear one of them died

@@nyctereute9118 ty
And "one of them died" was Alexi Laiho, the lead singer and guitarist, who died aged 41

@@lavidalocke9836 I first experienced CoB in 2003, I was late to the party. The song was "Taste My Scythe". Alexi was at the helm then

Seeing them 26. september this year!!! Can't wait!
