    His last phrase is so relevant, like a prophecy or promise he kept. Rest in power Alexi, what a star he was

      Man, seeing your pic made me emotional for a sec. Since alexi died(or it was announced)I've been thinking about chuck and how much of a hero and musical influence he was to me smh. I still remember them raising $ for his family by selling live in eindhoven cuz he was going in for experimental brain surgery...gone too soon 🥺 but what joy they brought 😎🤘

    Children of Bodom helped me through a lot of suicidal times. Rest in power dearest Alexi. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening the door to metal music. If it wasn’t for Bodom, I would not be a metalhead today.
    On repeat today: Everytime I die, Angels don’t kill, Bodom beach terror, if you want peace prepare for war, and downfall❤️

  • @pettigrew95
    @pettigrew95 3 роки тому +16

    Crushes me the part when he says he doesn't know where CoB would be in 10 years but that as long as he's around he'll be playing live somewhere with somebody...Ugh, what a gut punch. RIP Alexi.

  • @ktschneider1971
    @ktschneider1971 3 роки тому +19

    Everytime I Die ironically breathed sanity and life in me during my rock-bottom times past with emotions I’m so familiar with and so Children of Bodom will always have it’s own place within the depths of my memory.
    RIP Alexi Laiho

  • @demigod1013
    @demigod1013 3 роки тому +12

    He can't stand 'silence'..he needed to be doing/hearing something and can't sit still = textbook hyperactive/obsessive compulsiveness. I can't think of a better diversion/habit than picking up the guitar and sing!
    RIP Alexi

    Alexi should probably try out meditation or something. I guess silence scares people because of what comes out in you without distractions. I get that, I mostly listen to something all the time as well but it can help you to just sit down in silence and meditate sometimes.

    Such a cool guy and he has been an inspiration for my playing in a big way. My first chance I got to see COB was last year and unfortunately he was feeling awful and suffering from a throat virus, but I will be damned if he didn't come out and play anyways!
