Alexi Laiho (RIP): Hetfield vs Mustaine, Phil Anselmo's Racial Scandal & Donald Trump's Bigotry!

- For the last few weeks CHILDREN OF BODOM have been touring North America with MEGADETH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and HAVOK in support of their NEW bad ass album 'I Worship Chaos' (out now via Nuclear Blast Records)!
Prior to COB's takeover at New York City's Terminal 5, we had the chance to converse with frontman and guitarist Alexi Laiho (RIP) about the challenge of having to win MEGADETH's fans over, the James Hetfield vs Dave Mustaine guitar "battle", Philip H Anselmo's racial scandal and Donald Trump's bigotry!
Watch this EXCLUSIVE interview NOW!
I think I might have been one of those guys that Alexi described. I'm 50 years old and I've a been a huge Megadeth fan ever since KIMB. Last November my son and I went to see Megadeth, supported by COB, LoG, and Sylosis, at Manchester. What an incredible eye opener. I'd seen some major headliners in the past with some dreadful support acts but the performances at Manchester were outstanding from all. Up until this point I'd never heard anything from COB, LOG, or Sylosis, but now all three are regulars on my play lists. Just goes to show you're never too old to be opened up to new vibrations.

+sputniksam I've learned it's good to keep an open mind too.
While I have been to shows where the opening acts were horrible (my first time seeing Motörhead was at a mainstream festival and I was dying for the band before to be done and just go away), there have been far more many times when I had such nice surprises from the opening acts.
At this point, I'm equally happy with an opening act I already know and like or with an unknown band that I wouldn't see otherwise.
And one more thing to remember... they're people too. I can't help but wonder how it must feel for an opening band when the only people there are those who came early for a spot at the barrier and half of them aren't even paying attention. At the end of the day, I don't go to shows to make anyone feel bad, I go to headbang. It doesn't cost me anything to pay attention to the opening bands and, if I can headbang on their stuff, I will. If I enjoy it, I'll let them know.
When I hear Alexi is like hearing a friend of mine.
This is way to true...
That interviewer wouldn’t let the politics go, Alexi clearly didn’t want to chime in on another countries politics that he blatantly doesn’t follow. He was pretty reasonable with his answers. There’s nothing Metal about being passionate about politics. The dude looked like he just wanted to go play his guitar during that interview
@Bart Lee Were your feelings hurt when Alexi said Trump running had to be a joke and further saying he didn’t want him to win? Poor baby 🍼
@@ShatterTheSkiesAbove Bart apparently didn’t get the memo that racism isn’t cool in rock and metal. I think he needs to rewatch this video.
Bart is clearly Asian
@@benthies9531 so what is racist about improving infrastructure in black communities as well as creating the all time lowest black unemployment in the US. It seems to me that the poor regulation of Democrat cities which is appears strangely as if they are purposely making minorities live in rougher situations so that they can point fingers and fear monger about the angry man who is trying to help everyone get jobs and improve the financial situations of the general public regardless of race.
@@benthies9531 they’re racist people everywhere just like assholes just FYI
If it wasn't for COB I would have lost interest in death metal.
RIP alexi laiho 🤟🤟
RIP Guitar God
I came to say the same thing, miss him like fawk, even though I never met him. The world is less now.
Real fans know that Phil is not a racist..
Okay, He was a junkie and he admitted it ,
big what !!
+R J How is that? Who, but a racist, would have said these things with that salute?
Racism is healthy
YOU are ok with that! That speaks volumes about your lack of intellect.
Alexi Laiho mentality sucks.
Metal aint for sissies. PC libtards etc.
that guy conducting the interview is a clown...he was asking emotionally charged questions, almost begging Alexi to answer in a way that would pander to his own personal ideals
@@reallybadmigraine This. The interviewer is clearly a leftist and was trying to bait alexi with the trump thing (look how giddy he got after asking it, like he was expecting a pat on the head) but anselmo is relevant.
Yeah I thought he was definitely asking emotional questions to be able to hop on the band wagon. More spews for more views
He almost caught him when he said 'Trump sounds like a racist', then he tried to bad wagon him on that later and Alexi put his hand to his face like realizing "oh shit i slipped", but he handled it nicely. Good answer 15 beers deep and never said anything like that. This interviewer doesn't know Europeans, they don't pander to racism so it put him in an uncomfortable position. That's like asking an American guitarist their opinion on the IRA. I've been around drunk Europeans and not one of them said the 'n' word, I've been around sober Americans and, well. But all in all, Black Americans in general real on metal music has racial overtones so the guy actually attempts a publicity favor out of all the people Alexi addresses its worth.
We'll always our horns up for you Alexi 😢
This video came out 4 years ago why does it say rip alexi? I think that's fishy
@@aidenwarren3218 probably added afterwards for more views
That description of contrasting rhythm styles of Hetfield and Mustaine is awesome!
That was a nice substantive interview. Thanks!
I saw them live, had never listened to them, and Alexi did it man, I bought an album.
Children of Bodom, tanning lotion. Two concepts that shouldn't be mixed.
lmao
Hahahahaha yeah whats with that LMFAO
haha..that was so horrid i had to like it
And eye-picking, mascara & pink-eye. Jeesh, what's wrong with this guy's eye. Quit sticking your finger in there or stop wearing mascara!
who the hell didn't know about Children of Bodom in 2016?
"Hey this Alexi Laiho of 'Chillin'a'Bodom"
I was so pumped to see these guys with Megadeth here in Hawaii. They cancelled like three days before the concert. Crushed my soul man. \m/
Man how can it be you are a megadeth fan and dont know about children of bodom. we megadeth fans love you children of bodom. R.I.P my brother.
WOW!!!! Alexi sounds 99% less Scandinavian than I expected. I thought he would sound like Skizgaar Skwigelf from Dethklok. He sounds like a regular American dude.
Butt Finns learn English at a very young age. It’s basically their second native language.
He was actually one of the inspirations for Skwisgaar, the other guy he's based on is Jesper Strömblad (ex: In Flames).
@@imlerith1800 Did Brandon Small say that or specified somewhere else?
His Accent Dude Its To American
The 21st century Heavy Metal scene: A bunch of cool guys sitting around a room, air jamming and using words like "Dude" "Bro", "Like" and "Like, you know?" or "I mean..."
What he really wanted to get across here is the first thing he says:
Comes to NY-USA, band manager attacked and horrible hotel conditions.
Very unlikely to happen in Helsinki-Finland.
It's funny that in an 1999 interview he and Alexander Kuoppala were asked what they thought about Metallica (Reload era). And the answer wasn't quite nice although they could say worse hahaha
Good questions, never heard these being asked to a metal guy before
I would loved seeing his opinion on ZERO TOLERANCE he did with I.N. - I am just curious if that lyrics reflect his own views or the views of Mika...
what song was at the end???
What is the intro song after Horns?
Feel bad they cornered Alexi w this stuff
Glad to see a voice in the comments here about the PC bullshit, would've guessed the vast majority would be on par with Laiho's very complacently/lazy pc interview. No, you don't have to "be racist" or even a Trump supporter to be metal, but to be so blatantly pc and mainstream is obviously the very diametric opposite of what metal is.
you are absolutely right sir
well metalheads are pretty right wing so every time someone in the metal community goes a little bit to the left they start doing that
Seriously Bostaph and King from Slayer are total liberal pussies now. They pretend to be edge lords but couldn't be more in line with mainstream group think. The only guts of that band died years ago
"speculating about homicides Obama set up for gun control" - the likes of you should never reproduce. Stop spreading the "stupid" virus :)
yeah you morons are such anti-mainstream and independent thinkers, supporting billionares who despise you cuz you're scared of brown people. real fucking rock 'n roll shit
I always cheer and support the supporting bands when I go to see my fav band playing. Doing otherwise (unless there are terrible) is so UN-metal. These guys give their fuckin' souls to warm up an audience who's not theirs...they deserve better.
What is that music at 0:33 to 0:48
hey its alex here for chilumbodom
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always thought he said chillin of bodom ♡:(
10:20 I'm sure he's talking about Dream Theater 😅🤣🤣 RIP Legend🖤
Skwisgaar is a cool guy!
Mustaine has written way more good songs and plays lead. Ansemlo said sorry. Trump is the only one with the balls to talk about 7/11
What song was that in the intro
Children of Bodom - Horns
RIP Alexi you are sadly missed
Nice interview man, intense questions.
For Real
I' been watching The headstock of the guitar more than Alexi. so bold !!!
Oh yeah i forgot im not allowed to like metal and trump...too much freedom
I like him better than biden but i wouldn’t vote again after the vaccine thing I’ve never been a fan even before the covid one I knew it wasn’t right after high school I stopped taking them I literally get wicked sick like once a year tops since then
I love COB, but with this PC bullshit... I swear. Need more Seth Putnams in the world
How stupid of the interviewer to corner him with political questions. He's made it pretty clear in the past that CoB is not a political band and that he tries to distance himself from anything that has to do with politics.
All respect to Alexi Laiho, not because of his "never said anything politically incorrect" -attitude, but because of what he does and continues to do. The american accent still bothers me though and makes everything he say sound incredibly superficial.
thats how he always spoke in english lol
I want a good look at that ESP.
Metal is so PC and trendy now.
metal is and has been largely left wing for years.
oreofudgeman Maybe I'm just old enough to recognize it now.
+nailspine and exactly how old are you? It's amazing how 30 years ago it was the right wing that was considered extreme which is where "right wing extremist" came from and the lefty's were the pussy ass jesus freaks and liberals. Never thought I would see the day where somebody refers to metal as "Left wing"....truly amazing. It was the baby boomer and Generation X that created metal and metal was never considered left wing.....ever.....until now so I'm betting Nailspine and Oreofudgeman (really?) are fucking pussy ass lil millennials. Came back to edit after looking at Oreofudgeman's UA-cam favorites.....its nothing but pussy ass Skrillex....so it looks like I called it right....a pussy ass millennial.
nailspine Ooooooh you made it by one year wow. I'm still gonna consider you a watered down, bitch ass Millennial who knows jack shit about metal or what being "Left wing" really means. Do your homework little boy. Nothing about metal has ever been left wing.
I never said no such thing. What I DID say is Metal has never been considered "left wing"....ever and that the interviewer shouldn't be asking Alexi questions regarding politics or racism because he's knows he will only receive the "trendy" answers. Luckily Alexi is smart enough to know that and he gave the appropriate answers. Had he publicly agreed that Trump should be president or Phil has the right to show his white pride, then all the progressive pussies would publicly flame him, even though they secretly shared his opinion.
Back in the days when Alexi and Roope were asked opinion about Metallica they said its bad
First cob song?
hahaha Alexi said he wasn't going to drink on the road anymore! Well that didn't last very long!
Eh... the guy clearly doesn't know his politics and made that clear when he tried to answer the question. I, too, try to avoid politics. They're boring and just... fuck politics, man. Probably should've skipped the question, not really fair to ask someone something they clearly don't give two shits enough about to read up on.
+Games'n' “n” Guitar Especially someone that isn't even from that country... I doubt the interviewer knows much about Finnish politics, either.
Nobody does......because Nobody gives a flying Fuck about Finland.....they are a 3rd-tier country of Zero consequence, so of course nobody needs to know about their politics!! I bet I can sum their politics up: they invited a bunch of Muslims to Rape and Pillage Finland because they have NO Real Men and are desperate for Testosterone!! They are Pawns of the Nazi Globalist EU and will Not even have a country in 20 years....it will be Finnistan
Nah man that's happening to the swedes. we're good
Never liked CoB that much, but I find it fascinating that they're still seen like the new guys...
they're great
"fake laught intencifies"
Damn, why they put Alexi on the spot like that with those questions lol
Rest in peace, genius.
I thought this was Scotti Hill xd
The longest questions ever!
God Damn..Alexi has a cool cap!
What a pointless waste of hard drive space.
R.I.P Alexi.\m/
Rip metal god i can't believe he's gone condolences to his family.
The interviewer was so pushy with the Phil Anselmo thing lol
more so about trump who hasn’t done anything like Phil anselmo but there’s video of biden publicly referring to black people as the n word
Damnit i like alexi's point of view on politics ^_^ can't wait to see cob live
The BRUNO of metal.
i clicked on this recommended video 1/5/2021...i believe this was recommended because i was watching vids about his death yesterday....this video says "alexi laiho (rip)" & was posted 3/22/2016...???wtf??? haha...i'm confused. morbid for sure.
It was edited
You don't see many metal interviews going in this direction. Not a bad thing though...
true
+Timothy Borer Not a good thing either, because everyone has different views and it'll only divide people even more. It should be about the music. If I want political opinions, I'll put on my tv and follow the media.
+Timothy Borer what has music to do with politics? i think its bs to ask political stuff in an interview of a musician.
@@FirebladeXXL i disagree, i get only politics leaning its too much, but its a topic that it can to be discussed in every area not just with politicians, musician or not theyre still citizens and should express themselves about more things than just music
Anselmo definitely meant it in a racist way.
The Machine Head guy has since come out and explained some of what went on behind the scenes.
so fucking what. its gis right as an American to not have to be force fed all this black and brown bullshit
Robb Flynn was full of shit anyways and he wasn't even in the same room as Phil was backstage
So this is what Mike Péna's been up to.
Alexi always looks so chill. Great interview, lots good question. Love the ending.
ALEXI LAIHO FOREVER

I thought he was chillin out on the drinking on tour?
oooooooooo!! Lexi said "ghetto"...he's obviously a super racist! Also, he had a side project back in the late 90s (I think it was Thy Serpent) and I remember in the band pics that one of the members was wearing a Grand Wizard KKK outfit. Of course I know Alexi probably isn't racist (he was banging Kim Goss), but he knows firsthand that people in the metal scene tend to have screwy senses of humor.
And? You want people.be the same that they were 20 yrs ago and laughing the same shit? Ofc he didnt mind or even find funny back then but if he just dont find funny now he is a hypocrite? Ohhj people changes through life how shocking
Maybe not racist against her idk but his views on trump are concerning
Alexi seems shy and modest.......pretty rad, but what is wrong with his eye?
Rip Alexi
Who did what?
please someone help me! I'm English and do not understand the accent of the interviewer! Are the talking about Phil Anselmo who can't attend European festivals for saying something? I'm not being sarcy
Phil anselmo shouted out "white power" at a gig, and got a lot of flack for it. As a result, many venues refused to have him perform, even in europe.
just answering the guys question...
Headbanger9000 erpaloinen I thought it was at this years Dimebash 2016?
it was yes.
I say the interviewer is probably from somewhere in Latin America, Brazil, Argentina, maybe Mexico.
But despite his accent, I am American and can understand him good enough
I don't even like Children Of Bodom, I just think Alexi is a really awesome guy, same with Scott Ian, I don't even like Anthrax but he's just a cool, awesome dude. (I do like Metal, just not all of it ya know, call me a poseur all you want)
i agree. there are some rockers that i think are cool because of who they are not how they play. ex alexi duff mckagan chad smith and the ramones drummer
Yeah, let's judge a metal singer on what he says during a live show... Dude, people are fishing for wrong answers!
what's with the 70 IQ questions here ?
Alexi, You're a legend!
I like Children of Bodom but I do not like the Voice in the songs, I want Children of Bodom to release an album where the voices are like a Metalcore style but the instruments are the same.
Damn, if you look closely, you can see that his fingertips are already "clubbing" at this point. Alcohol is such an insidious drug.
What do you mean by his fingertips clubbing?
I’ve seen this on a guy that seems like a crackhead alcoholic I didn’t know alexi’s fingers looked like that it explains the difficulty of guitar playing near the end
His accent has totally changed.
Phil is NOT a racist. Phil came from a place where he was bullied by racist blacks in bad aread he grew up in. First of all, lets remember that he porusely apologized for what he did at that concert...and sincerely, with tears and honesty and humbleness. That said, what he did that time was wrong..he admits it, he was pissed off at being constantly race shamed for the accident of birth of being born white, Phil is not a supremacist or a racist of any kind, he's an individualist, what he IS is a white/male who is doe snot give into the racist and sexist bullying by regressive leftists and others trying to guilt white people and males simpley for being born that way. That's it. What he did at that concert was just him lashing out in the wrong way cause he is rightly fed up with such b.s. and racial bullying of whites and gender bullying of males..by regressive left radical gender feminist hypocrites.
Why is this such a big story? If Phil was black and did some black panthers salute or something{like Beyonce did and got away with}..btw, the black panthers are a SUPREMACIST group..look them up...they routinely talk aboit killing white people and even white children at their meetings, if he wa sblack and did that...no one would bat an eye lid over it. This whole controversy just shows how radical gender feminism and regressive leftism and it's orwellian hypocrisies POISONS EVERYTHING..including the metal community.
Phil is an individualist, but yeah he's also proud of being white..moreso he's proud of the traditioons and heritage of western enlightenment influenced culture, how's that bad? If he wa sblack and proud of it..the same people calling him racist now..would'nt. It's absurd the abuse he has had to put up with. Phil respects INDIVIDUALS of ALL races, genders, and creeds, he made aerror in judgement one time because he got fed up with it all..righyl so{being fed up with it, not the salute thing..which he apologized for several times..in sinserity..and yet he's still geting blasted for it; meanwhile Beyonce has not apologized for her shit...and no one bullies her over it}. --think about it.
All the values the metal community is about, freedom of thought/concience/opinion and speech/expression, anti-censorship, pro-liberty and indivdualism, liberal demcoracy, pluralism and secularism, reason and science and so on ahnd so forth, these were all born and put forth by the enlightenment..which was first born from European culture{which by chance happens to be white, it was born from white western..mainly males, get sued to it, this doe snot mean we are better than others inherently racially or gender wise, it just so happens this great tradition of enlightenment..the same that produced numerous kind sof diversity and tolerance thereof...was born from western..white culture}. It is ironic to see this..which metal community owes a debt of gratitude too.spat on by metalheads, how ironic
I couldn't agree more.
RIP Alexi Laiho❤🤘🙏🏻
nice.
Juuri näin Alexi!! Kaikki luulevat Trumpin olevan rasisti, joten olen varmaan samaa mieltä!! Heikko Narttu!!
Quite possibly the worst interview I have ever seen. Cringy insincere PC virtue signalling complete with forced laughter and literally no useful or interesting information gained. Seriously what is the point of an interview like this other than to waste time.
All that make up, he's starting to look like Michael Jackson
Donald trump or Donald dump....agree with u alexi...
Wonder what the Finns policy is on illegal immigration. Or on dealing with thousands of refugees. By the way what's the racial diversity in good old Finnland? But he likes throwing around the term racist, and living in Cali though, huh.
Where's the racial diversity in Finland? You do realise that both the Sami peoples and the Aaland Islanders have their own parliaments?
dont have to worry about that in AMERICA!!!! TRUMP!!!! USA
wow he probably should have passed on the political question...
Wow this guy is annoying 🥴 Alexi got a kick out of it at least, and tried to learn him something about not giving af 🤣
Alexi has never said anything "politically incorrect" that is a lie. Everyone has said something not PC or will say something like that in the future.

Great interview and great questions. Nothing wrong with foreigners talking about politics. Flags are bullshit anyway we all live on the same planet!
+Theguitaristishere That escalated quickly.
+Theguitaristishere Locks are for security what the fuck is your point?
+undead797 I think you just answered your own question
+Dr. Jackal That would be the sensible answer. I have a feeling that's not the answer sir here would give. Flags are not for security.
Not literally of course, but borders prevent an influx of migrants who can disrupt the cultural values, economic status, and the standard of living in a country. Want proof? Take a look at the Syrian "refugees" who are flooding into Europe and imposing their oppressive ways on the native population.
If Jesse Pinkman played guitar
I like Alexi...I disagree with his comments on Donald Trump though. America has every right to secure its borders....the same as any other country has that right.
Alex is a legend and all but should've kept quite about politics since he doesn't know much. The same goes for that stupid interviewer.
@@rorschach4391especially that piece of shit cunt interviewer if he interviewed me ever it would be inviting himself like paparazzi I would never wanna make a buck for an interview like that I wouldn’t wanna answer about trump though obviously look at what’s happening without him
Love you, Laiho. A great personality.
ha ah, under the flesh paint make up?
Never would’ve expected Alexi bashing on Trump. Definitely respect him a million times more 🤘
I guess I'm just old school, but credibility wanes when someone starts with "It was like" just my opinion though.
Fuck any Metal artist who try to be PC or Left-Wing.
I appreciate Alexei being honest.
lol...anyone else throw them horns? lol i did
He's got quite a bit of unblended makeup on.
