So I was in Health wearing my CoB shirt and this girl comes up to me and is like "You're shirt is so cool, I love it!" ......This girl is always singing Rap type stuff and bashes rock stuff a lot.....I was thoroughly shocked....

I'm not sure if that's Superman or Spiderman, but either way, it's funny.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

[Delanoir]

I thought this picture was cool, even if Alexi kind of looks stoned.

Yeah, that one is pretty cool.

[Shinozoku]

It's Superman, Janne :p:

Also, anybody know anything about that question in my last post?

Holy ****, man..... That's horrible :( I wish you and the rest of Florida luck in getting those bastards!

I hate to sound like I'm ignoring the situation at hand, but does anybody have any idea what the "mystery lyrics" in You're Better Off Dead are? I know the first line is "Hey, if you like me today" and the last line is "It's raining flesh and blood", but the middle two are a mystery to me and the various interpretations across the net make no sense whatsoever.


Incidentally, we're closing in on the Opeth Fellation Thread in post count.

[Magero]

Awesome :D

I approve, even if it's totally backwards (you know you're the janne to my alexi :p: )

****!

[Nexfc]

HATE children of bodom. they killed iron maiden classics. the trooper and aces high will never be th same. they tried to do something they were never going to be capable of.

[I,Voyager]

^ Wrong thread

[fhvnjb07]

I happen to like CoB. I've liked them for quite a while now, Alexi has some of the sickest chops I've seen, especially him being so young. And they're keyboard player is great.

They're = they are

They're keyboard player is great. = FAIL

[Magero]

They never covered The Trooper you twat.

[fixationdarknes]

They never covered The Trooper you twat.

F'serious. It was a band called Sentenced. Nexfc, get yer facts straight before dissin' on Bodom.

[Vittu0666]

Good news! We caught the arsonist! Most of the fires are now under control too. There's a few fires still around, but they're not threatening any houses.

[Magero]

That's great news dude :D
Glad to hear it's al getting better.
eDrinks on the house! :cheers:

[Defy]

Haha. I think a few friends and I are going to get drunk to celebrate this weekend.

I have no idea. They're probably going to put him on trial first, then sentence him.

[Defy]

Haha. I think a few friends and I are going to get drunk to celebrate this weekend.

Right. I forgot about this whole 'trial' nonsense. :p:

[Vittu0666]

I say everyone who lives in Palm Bay, Melbourne, Cocoa, and Malabar should be allowed to give him to punches to any part of the body.

EDIT: That's before the trial. :)

[Magero]

Ironic punishment is needed.
Cigar burns to 99% of his body.

[Defy]

Why not just burn down his house and then burn him alive?

An eye for an eye.

[Magero]

Why not just burn down his house and then burn him alive?

An eye for an eye.
Because his house might collapse on it, thus ruining our fun by killing him quickly.

[adii]

hey! weren't you talking about CoB (best band for me yeah)

[Defy]

Because his house might collapse on it, thus ruining our fun by killing him quickly.
I meant separately. XD First he gets to watch all his possessions get destroyed.

hey! weren't you talking about CoB (best band for me yeah)

Were and will be.

[Magero]

Were and will be.
Tempting....but I still like the cigar burns to 99% of his body idea....

[Shinozoku]

Tempting....but I still like the cigar burns to 99% of his body idea....
Yes :golfclap:

[chrismetal86]

So is Blooddrunk worth getting?

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Yeah, I'd say so. It's what you'd expect from a Bodom album. Good leads, fine vocals, etc. etc. Go ahead and get it, it's pretty impressive, but it's not their best.

[Delanoir]

Yeah, I'd say so. It's what you'd expect from a Bodom album. Good leads, fine vocals, etc. etc. Go ahead and get it, it's pretty impressive, but it's not their best.

I'd also like to add that it's gone in a different direction than AYDY. It's more progressive in some aspects, as well as a bit more like their work on album the album HCDR. It's one of my Bodom favorites, even if its not at absolute top.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Yes, many people have noted that it is more progressive, although I don't really see how. Does someone care to explain?

[Vittu0666]

An eye for an eye.
In that case, his house better be worth $10 million because last I checked that was the estimated damage.

[Magero]

In that case, his house better be worth $10 million because last I checked that was the estimated damage.
It'd have to be more than that....

[Defy]

In that case, his house better be worth $10 million because last I checked that was the estimated damage.

Well its not like you can burn more than he has. :(

So make up the extra cost in damage with Magero's torture idea.

[Magero]

:D
-feels useful-

[Vittu0666]

Haha. Awesome. Ok, I'll suggest it to the judge. :)

[Magero]

Tell him that Cigar's are like, totally in right now.

[Defy]

Really? I heard it was pipes. :p:

[Magero]

Pipes are SOOO '07 darling.

[[I Buy Peace]]

I did a gig on wednesday, and IMO we didn't really do everytime I die justice


The drums were abit odd at times, and there is no real growler in my college

[Delanoir]

Seeing Bodom this Tuesday :D

And I'm probably going to get to hang out with VG while I'm down there in San Diego.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Pretty sweet dude.

[Delanoir]

Here are some scans of an interview, guys.

Nice man. It's a little blurry when I zoom in, but I'll give it a shot when I have free time.

[sleepwalker16]

Many thanks Delanoir :D
What mag is it though?

[Delanoir]

No worries, and it's BW & BK.

I have scans of the new issue of Guitar World, if anyone's interested.

[CT32]

One of my absolute favourite bands. I saw them in them here at the start of the month on Gigantour and they were phenomenal live. The musicianship and stage show of a true band. Amazing band, though admittedly once in a while Alexi's lead playing irks me.

[Delanoir]

Well here you all go, the article from June 2008 Guitar World.

Thanks for scanning, Delanoir. Good interview.

[Alter-Bridge]

Thanks for uploading the interview!

[Delanoir]

No problem guys :)

It's interesting to see that ESP SV-NT. I think the pictures were taken at NAMM, so he was probably doing it to promote the model for ESP.

[Delanoir]

Here's am older, but still funny, piece I found

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii301/AleksiAlexi/IMG_0002-1.jpg

and for those who don't understand Finnish...

One time was enough – Alexi Laiho doesn’t drink gin ever again. (Iltasanomat 7/2007)

Children of Bodom guitarist Alexi Laiho promised 12 years ago that he won’t drink gin ever again and he has kept his promise.
Last time Alexi drank gin was at age of 16. Friend’s parents were at winter holiday so he held a party. There was a bottle of gin in the drink cupboard.
- We drank it straight. I hadn’t drunk that much straight booze back then so I couldn’t handle it as well as now days, Alexi explains.
He remembers getting back to home somehow in the middle of the night.
- I woke up after a while when my mom was trying to wake me up. I was laying in my own puke, I didn’t even get to the shower on my own.
After changing clothes and sheets Alexi continued sleeping until same thing happened again. Mom came back to wake up her dirty son, and same thing was done also third time.
- Mom stayed up almost all night cleaning me and my bed again and again. In the morning she just said that as you probably noticed its not good idea to drink that kind of booze. I haven’t touched gin after that, I can’t even smell it without feeling sick.
- Embarrassing story but because of that I don’t drink gin, Alexi says.

[Defy]

Haha that's a funny story. :D Thanks for posting it Delanoir.

[Delanoir]

No problem, I have scans of the newer Decible article, which is easily one of the funniest and best Bodom interviews I've ever read. I'll put them up soon.

Oh, and I made a thread for the article that Soundi did for the Guitar Heroes album, which includes Alexi as one of three being interviewed. Here's link, it's all translated to English, with scans.

[Delanoir]

Leaving to see Bodom today! :D

I'm going to try and see the band again today, before/after the show.

[Magero]

Get a photo with Alexi holding a sign that says
"I love Magero"
:D

[sleepwalker16]

Leaving to see Bodom today! :D

Damn you :(

Will they EVER come here? I'll pay 500$ for a live! my left leg for a live! :p:

[Defy]

Damn you :(

But you'll never see past the crowd if you're sitting in a wheel chair!

[Delanoir]

The show was AMAZING last night.

Bodom definitely should have replaced In Flames, and everyone there knew it. One of the best moments was when the lights ****ed up and went completely out during In Your Face, but they kept on playing right on through most of the song without missing a note until they came back.

Alexi was really spot on, and I don't know what people are talking about when they say he's sloppy, in all honesty. He did his guitar roll and didn't mess it up this time, haha. Everything sounded great though. I felt bad for Alexi when, right after finishing Bodom After Midnight, he ran off stage for a minute. While he was gone, Janne played a bit of Van Halen. When Alexi came back he was just like "So I just puked my f*cking brains out, but hey, f*ck that sh*t happens right?" and went right into the next song, Angels Don't Kill.

All in all, one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Before the show I got to see Janne and Alexi, and then the rest of the guys after the show. I got my copy of HCDR all signed, and they really are nicest, friendliest guys around.

[DIV ON!]

I hear they are great live

*Dies of jealousy*

@Defy: You have a point :(

[[I Buy Peace]]

hopefully they will tour the UK late this year, or early this year.


But I think I may go to the Glasgow gig, I hear that isn't too far away


EDIT: Wait... you met COB Delanoir? So ****ing jelous! I've even drempt about meeting all the guys in bodom, I think I told you the dream actually lol


How did you meet them? I need to know because I need to meet them all. Especially Alexi with him been my main insparation and all

[Delanoir]

I think you did tell me about it, actually. And I think he mentioned something about touring Europe this winter/fall, around Wacken.

Well, before the show, I was by the gates when I saw Janne and Alexi hanging out with some people outside their bus. Because it's a bigger venue, the security wouldn't let anyone in, but the guy said he couldn't stop me from trying to get their attention. So I just yelled out the first thing that came to mind, which was "SUOMI!" (finland) and they both turned around and waved.

Afterwards, I was just chilling back outside by the same place waiting for the traffic to all die down, and there were a couple other people hanging out trying to get autographs from people. The roadie from Megadeth said there was no luck if you didn't have a VIP pass (lame, but I didn't care anyway). But this other guy came a little bit after that to ask who they were waiting for, and most people said Bodom. So he came back with Alexi, Anders, and Bjorn. I talked to Bjorn and Anders for a bit, while Alexi was signing stuff. After that, I just talked to him about non-music related stuff, like the Blues Brothers and the Big Lebowski, and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with them for a bit in the bus, since they were actually watching Lebowski. So he took me along with him into their bus and all the guys were just kicking back drinks, but weren't that drunk yet, but mostly just kind of tired. Jaska was super cool, Henkka was really nice, and Janne is way friendly. Roope was quiet until he got more drunk (the man is a beast). They were all awesome about the whole thing, and it was honestly one of the coolest moments in my life, as mellow as it was. Considering how humble and friendly they all were, I have even more respect for them now.

[sleepwalker16]

Hanging out with the whole band in their bus? damn. I hope I'll get to do the same...

Agreed. When I saw them, they totally upstaged In Flames to the point that people didn't stop chanting bodom even after In Flames came out. None of them, including Laiho were sloppy at all. Best show I've been to, great night.

Who thinks the keyboard player goes to far headbanging in Blood Drunk Video :no: Children of Bodom

[Delanoir]

Who thinks the keyboard player goes to far headbanging in Blood Drunk Video :no: Children of Bodom

Why shouldn't he be allowed to headbang like the rest of them?

He's just as much a part of the band.

[zigz407]

I personally love it when the keyboarders headbang. It's good fun to watch the guy from Opeth in particular.

Most of Angels Don't Kill is alright, Everytime I Die may or may not be okay for you.

In Your Face is pretty easy. Well, most of AYDY is bit more rhythm-centric rather than lead-filled.

The main riff of Downfall is fairly quick to pick up, as is the rest of the song.

I had been playing like a year and I could play everything except the shred in there.

[Copius]

Agreed. When I saw them, they totally upstaged In Flames to the point that people didn't stop chanting bodom even after In Flames came out. None of them, including Laiho were sloppy at all. Best show I've been to, great night.

Lucky bastard. CoB never comes down to NC; everyone here listens to country and rap. We're lucky if we get a decent metalcore band down here.

I hate this ****ing hick town.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

At least Ozzfest was kind enough to stop by here..

But yeah, it's fairly rare that bands like Children of Bodom come here..Luckily Charlotte has Tremont Music Hall, I was looking on their calendar, they have some awesome shows coming up..

On Children of Bodom though, I love Blooddrunk! I mean, it's not the same as the others, but I love it in it's own unique way, I think some of the riffs are just amazing.

[[I Buy Peace]]

Not been here in a while


Has anyone else seen the hellhounds video? I love it, one of my fav Bodom videos yet. Awsome song too

[Magero]

Eh
Just another meh video.

[Delanoir]

As far as Bodom videos go, it's pretty cool.

They never really go all out, and most of them hate when people try to tell a story or get too over the top with one. Alexi hates the Everytime I Die video for this reason. They all mostly prefer seeing the band play.

[Magero]

Yeah, but like, all the vids become interchangable. The least they could do is something like In Your Face.
Cool new setting, etc.
But these ones just eh....

[metallicafan616]

hey, i got an amazing idea.

seeing as cob like doing funny covers we could set up a petition for them to cover soulja boi on there next album/whatever - who agrees with me?

PS. who would i send the letter to when we get 1000 signs or whatever?

but I do NOT want them to do soldja boy.

[metallicafan616]

lol...what else could they do then?

[nickstarules92]

alexi has a crazy ass voice

[Delanoir]

alexi has a crazy ass voice

Indeed.

At first it took some getting used to, but now I love it.

At this point, he can actually sing quite well (clean) when he wants to. But he usually only does it when he's screwing around.

[KoRnBitch]

Alexi really does have an insane voice. (I know this is a bit weird of me posting here, maybe. But uh people would never guess that my favorite band is Children Of Bodom) haha.

Well anyways.... on the Gigantour, I think COB owned the whole show...

& I am also all for funny covers... but Soulja Boy... hmm.lol

[Delanoir]

Here are some recent pictures from Gigantour.

[nickstarules92]

but i think that the keyboard makes the guitar riffs seem allot faster and everybody likes fast ass guitar riffs
so if they got rid of the keyboardist then we would some stupid ass fallout boy crap
thats wat death metal is made out of
Keyboard and guitar

[nickstarules92]

soulja boy is probably the WORST song
out there
and it doesnt diserve to be even thought of by a great guitarist such as alexi

[Shinozoku]

lol...what else could they do then?
Flight of the Valkyries
The Looney Tunes theme song
O Fortuna
HAMMER SMASHED FACE!!!!!



Something from the Beastie Boys might be pretty cool :)

Go vote for me and Alex as best couple in the UG awards :D

[I,Voyager]

Suck Alexis Penia!!!!!!

Penia is a sweet bread that originated in rural Italy and is made during the Easter holiday. Ingredients include sugar, butter, eggs, anise seeds and lemons.
:confused:

[CodySG]

Alexi makes damn good penia. He uses honey oil to bake it in.

...

That's all bull**** by the way.

I shall vote!!!!

Is that a bra? :haha

[Magero]

No, it's a freshly baked llama.

[metallicafan616]

hmm...i like the idea of looney toons themetune cover :P

[Dudage]

If you guys liked the CoB covers of unusual songs, you should check out the Turisas cover of Rasputin (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y150Lm4kZ_M), it's pretty awesome.

[KoRnBitch]

Is that a bra? :haha


Lol, That's exactly what I said when I saw it live...

Same pink one too:p

[Defy]

Is that a bra? :haha

I think there are two. :p:

I think the reaper's face is also kinda of funny :haha

The style of the artwork is pretty cool though.

[Magero]

Least it's not as bad as the back cover of Blooddrunk...
"Hellhouds on my tral"
-facepalm-

[ibanezguitarz07]

for those who havent seen the "Hellhounds on my Trail" video yet you can see it at that link, along with two other cob interviews

[Delanoir]

You know what Bodom should cover?

MORTAL KOMBAT.

[Zangetsu 101]

Just watched Chaos Ridden Years for like the umpteenth time and as freaking awesome as it is, I really wish there was some Blooddrunk on it. Meaning I do actually like the new album, more so than I thought.

A new live DVD is a must from these guys. Hopefully they'll release one next year.

Agreed.

There's going to be a Gigantour 2008 DVD, so they'll definitely be on that.

I think it looks more like a rodent with bad teeth and jowls.

Megadeth and Bodom on the same DVD = Awesome-sauce.

The electronica track? that would be awesome :haha

Say Delanoir, did the band say anything about you and Alexi looking alike? cause you do

[Delanoir]

I think it'd be hilarious and awesome to hear Janne going nuts on the keys, and some ridiculous harmonized solo between Roope and Alexi.

And thanks :D I'll always take that as a compliment. Janne actually did, once I was on the bus. I didn't repeat it here though because I figured if no one else mentioned it, it would sound like I was making it up, haha.

Are you subscribed to these mags you posted articles from? and if yes, is subscription to Israel available? I wanna subscribe to Decibel :p:

[TyFood]

Follow the Reaper for the win!

[KoRnBitch]

Say Delanoir, did the band say anything about you and Alexi looking alike? cause you do

I don't think he looks **** like Alexi.

Anywho, are they going to have Hellhounds On My Trail on headbanger's ball?

[Delanoir]

I don't think he looks **** like Alexi.

Anywho, are they going to have Hellhounds On My Trail on headbanger's ball?

Says the girl who clearly has a problem with me :rolleyes: But hey, if it makes you feel better, I don't think I do either. But I'll still take it as a compliment whenever and from whoever.

And I'd say they probably will. They'll probably play it at Metal Hammer, too.

[Magero]

Max, I tend to ignore it when it posts. It thinks that ASOP is a great In Flames album.

Anyway, I reckon you look enough like Alexi for someone to go "Oh is that...nah" but from a distance.

And yeah, wouldn't be surprised if HOMT gets decent play, it doesn't exactly have anything that might need to be censored.

[Vittu0666]

So I realized I haven't posted in here in a while. So yeah. Bodom and stuff.

[sleepwalker16]

Hey Delanoir, anwser my question? it's a bit higher than your last post.

[[I Buy Peace]]

I've not bought a copy of TG in a while, I was going to get that one because it has the keyboard solo tabbed out for guitar in it, but i'm trying to save money :/


Anyway thanks for posting the interview :)


Is anybody going seeing bodom in glasgow? I'm dieing to go because there haveing a sighning session before. But i'm skint :'(

[Delanoir]

Hey Delanoir, anwser my question? it's a bit higher than your last post.

Hey, sorry about that.

I'm subscribed to a lot of them, but not all. I work at a Barnes & Noble so I get access to all kinds of magazines, and some of them I find on the official CoB forums.

[sleepwalker16]

Cool, I'll check their sites for prices and availability and stuff... thank ye.

[Patty-cakez]

i saw COB at gigantour in San Jose, CA on May 19. ****IN AWESOME. and when Megadeth came on Alexi and the boys came out to sing peace sells along with Megadeth. it was SUHWEET.

I was there man. I loved it when Alexi started air guitaring haha.

[bjovi400]

does anyone know what type of tubes Alexi and Roope use? and if it would make any differance to sound if i put them in a Peavey JSX head?

[Delanoir]

does anyone know what type of tubes Alexi and Roope use? and if it would make any differance to sound if i put them in a Peavey JSX head?

If you mean currently, Alexi's gear setup is something like this...

Marshall JCM800 KK Signature head (el34 tubes) and 4x12 Marshall cabinets with Celestion speakers.

And yes, it would make a difference.

[Magero]

does anyone know what type of tubes Alexi and Roope use? and if it would make any differance to sound if i put them in a Peavey JSX head?
Course it would make a difference. Every little thing you do will change the sound slightly. I was tinkering around with my bass last night through my wah pedal. I changed the leads around, so before it was like this;

Bass ------- wah pedal ------ amp

And then it was;

Bass ------ wah pedal ------- amp

Tone changed COMPLETELY. You just gotta experiment. Personally, I prefer the idea of finding your own sound, not just using someone elses. Not saying it's a bad thing, just don't prefer it myself.

[silverandsilent]

i just started getting into them.... the ones I've heard so far are In Your Face, Everytime I Die, and Downfall. Any other suggestions on their songs that I might like?

[Delanoir]

i just started getting into them.... the ones I've heard so far are In Your Face, Everytime I Die, and Downfall. Any other suggestions on their songs that I might like?

Angels Don't Kill, Banned from Heaven, Hate Crew Deathroll, Are You Dead Yet?, Hate Me!, Sixpounder

[Dimebag06Darrel]

I love Banned from Heaven's riffs... so beautiful.

[Cobain_Is_King]

Today's Metal Hammer (I know) says that if I subscribe for two years I get the forst 4 COB albums free but the link is dead, Competition finished on Saturday...I'm guessing the site hasn't been updated yet? I've already got the albums btw, just be coo lto have them again :haha

[metallicafan616]

after listening to blooddrunk alot i think my order of favoritism goes:
blooddrunk
follow the reaper
something wild
hatebreeder
hatecrew deathroll









AYDY is off the list for a reason.

[sleepwalker16]

^
1. Hatebreeder
2. HCDR
3. FTR
4. AYDY?
5. Something Wild
6. Blooddrunk

IMO.

[MakeItWitChu]

but i think that the keyboard makes the guitar riffs seem allot faster and everybody likes fast ass guitar riffs
so if they got rid of the keyboardist then we would some stupid ass fallout boy crap
thats wat death metal is made out of
Keyboard and guitar
Are you kidding me? Even taking the keyboards out would not make CoB stoop ANYWHERE as low as Fallout Boy.

And death metal really doesnt NEED the keyboards to be honest.;)
I personally am not a huge fan of the keyboards, but it still makes CoB what it is.:D

[Shinozoku]

If you mean currently, Alexi's gear setup is something like this...

Marshall JCM800 KK Signature head (el34 tubes) and 4x12 Marshall cabinets with Celestion speakers.

And yes, it would make a difference.
Uhm.. KT88s... ?

[Delanoir]

Uhm.. KT88s... ?

Those come by default in the KK JCM800's, but Alexi switched them to el34's.

[Shinozoku]

Ooooohh.. okay. Cool to know :)
I love Banned from Heaven's riffs... so beautiful.
Me too!

Although I must say Bodom's ballads tend to have a kinda "sexy" vibe to them, especially this one. Almost hot enough to bang to :D

[the memory]

anybody know whos supporting them in glasgow this thursday?!
cheers (Y)

[GBcommander]

Hatebreeder
Hate Crew Death Roll
Follow the Reaper
Blooddrunk
Are you Dead Yet?


Ive never heard Something Wild so I cant comment on it.

[Delanoir]

Bodom played Banned from Heaven for the first time live, at Sauna Open Air 2008.

There aren't any good videos up yet, unfortunately. But here are a few pictures of their set...

What is your best song by the Finnish Metallers :peace:

[sleepwalker16]

Delanoir, you are king! :p:

As for the best song, it's... umm... well... ahh... it's Bodom, and I can't choose a best song from that band :D

[the memory]

Delanoir, you are king! :p:

+1 :(
lol


i love "lil blood red riding hood" a lot just now though

[SynGates7X]

That's tough for me to choose, but try Bodom Beach Terror.

[dminishedthingy]

my favorite is lake bodom

[zigz407]

Those are awesome pictures delanoir.

[GBcommander]

Favorite song right now is probably Hatebreeder. Used to be Kissing the Shadows.

[Delanoir]

That's tough, and I can't really say I have a favorite...

Downfall would be up there, though. Along with Angels Don't Kill and Sixpounder.

[the memory]

damn i forgot angels dont kill!

i love deadnight warrior too

[eazy-c]

anybody know whos supporting them in glasgow this thursday?!
cheers (Y)

some welsh band called Alterior i think.

should be good.

[the memory]

some welsh band called Alterior i think.

should be good.
yah i just found out last night

id heard of them before, quite good!

[eazy-c]

Any idea what the setlist is?

Not too much Blooddrunk stuff i hope.

[david_safc]

Awww I wish they would play Tie my Rope, that song is so underrated, the harmonic at the end of the solo is orgasmic, and I could listen to that song all day for just those few seconds in the song. I'm going to the Glasgow gig tomorrow, perfect set list for me would be as follows:

Blooddrunk
Tie my Rope
Follow the Reaper
Bodom After Midnight/Bodom Beach Terror mix
Angels Don't Kill
Hate Me!
Needled 24/7
Hate Crew Deathroll
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Kissing the Shadows
Banned from Heaven

Even though their set won't be that long lol.

If they play Hate Crew, Beach Terror and Follow the Reaper I will be extremely happy.

[the memory]

i think they will open with "hellhounds on my trail"

definetly play hate me and silent night bodom night

i hope they play some older stuff too

[david_safc]

Ill be pissed if they don't play follow the reaper

[CodySG]

Sup kids?

You Children *get it? I made a funny! Get it!?!?! LAUGH!!!!* been on your best while I've been away?

...

Hell no, you jack offs been acting foolz haven't you!?!?!

...

Got a new toy :D VHT 50-CL-EQ :) plays Bodom very nicely if I do say so myself...

[Magero]

Seeing Bodom next Friday, can't wait.

[CodySG]

Ah man..bud light and bodom...and steve wilkos...and canned ham...

God damn good mother ****ing night!

[metallicafan616]

favourite song is way too hard! i like all their original songs on every album except only in your face on AYDY.

[CodySG]

I love in your face

What's your favorite song that yo're trying t o play?

[Magero]

Only Bodom song I ever learnt (cause their basslines blow) was Black Widow for the little bass solo.

[CodySG]

The bass stuff is sort of weak...

But oh well...I don't hplay bass, so works for me.

You're the one that picked the instrument named after a fish!

[Magero]

You're the one who picked an instrument....that....is....just shut up, ok?

Anyway, yeah, bass lines blow. They either just play root notes or they MIGHT follow the guitar, if the guitar is doing one of the chunk riffs (like Sixpounder).

[Magero]

The sad truth when your songwriter is a guitarist.
-sigh-
That's why I like being a bassist who can play a bit of guitar and who writes.
I know what the instruments are capable of doing.

[Delanoir]

Badass setlist.

Also badass pics Delanoir :p:

[zigz407]

Yesterday, my little brother saw the pics that Delanoir posted and thought Alexi was a girl. I just went with it.

[[I Buy Peace]]

ARRRGGGHH!!! THE TOOORRRTUURREEE!!!!!!


COB are playing in glasgow tonight and have just done a sighning session, but because i'm completley skint I couldn't go! But someone who I know went and he met alexi and got a photo with him! He doesn't even know any of the band members names apart from alexi!


Life is unfair!!!


*jumps off cliff*

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Cool pictures Delanoir. Thanks man.

[KoRnBitch]

Yesterday, my little brother saw the pics that Delanoir posted and thought Alexi was a girl. I just went with it.

XP The same thing happened with my sister. & Those pictures were great... 'just about saved all of them:D

[Delanoir]

Alexi would be one ugly girl. :p:

[CodySG]

I'd do him either way...

I splooged on that pic of him just completely going sexual on his guitar and humping the air.

Oh baby...oh baby...

*wet*

[af_the_fragile]

I went to the Children of Bodom gig in Dublin yesterday.
It was pretty cool.
The supporting act sucked (well their vocalist was horrible).
But then COB came and really rocked the place!
Cool gig and a good mosh pit too!

[the memory]

well im just home from the gig.


OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
SO GOOD

i nearly died when they played mask of sanity and deadnight warrior

oh and i thought the support band were good, didnt realise the guitarist was a glasgow man (formerly of mendeed)

[eazy-c]

well im just home from the gig.


OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

=D

I was propely pissing myself when they played that song before Downfall

[edusty2010]

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked before but this topic is pretty big. But what amps does Alexi use? How about Roope? Just wondering.

[the memory]

=D

I was propely pissing myself when they played that song before Downfall
what song was that?
lool

i've got a kinda blurred memory ahaha
what song did they play before mask of sanity? :S


oh and i believe alexi is using a JCM800 Kerry KIng sig head while Roope is using a Krank Revolution
They were in the studio pictures anyway

[edusty2010]

what song was that?

Ah thanks :D I thought I had heard something about Alexi using the KK head, Roope tho I never hear anything about him which is a shame because he's an excellent guitarist :(

[metallicafan616]

I love in your face

What's your favorite song that yo're trying t o play?

sorry i meant choosing a favorite song was too hard, i haven't yet found a song by cob i cant play(except solo on bodom beach terror) and also, i think that alexi should give Henkka something useful in the next album, i cant even hear him atm.



ps, Alexi used a Lee Jackson preamp for hatebreeder and ftr - theres next to no info about it on the net except on a series of youtube vids.
A Krank Revolution/Krankenstein(cant tell which) on guitar heroes album.

dont take my word for these next 2 but i think he used a Peavey 5150 on something wild and a Marshall2203kk on blooddrunk

i think roope just uses a krank revolution.

EDIT: btw, has anyone else noticed alexi is using powerchords and pentatonic scales more often in blooddrunk instead of exotic scales and crazy guitar licks like in their first 3 albums?

[eazy-c]

what song was that?
lool

i've got a kinda blurred memory ahaha
what song did they play before mask of sanity? :S


oh and i believe alexi is using a JCM800 Kerry KIng sig head while Roope is using a Krank Revolution

It was some cheesy 80's ballad thing.

I knew the lyrics but I didn't know the song.

And Tie My Rope was before Mask Of Sanity (I think).

[the memory]

i have no memory of them playing tie my rope :S
hahaha

oops.......

nah the 80s ballad was journey, just near the end

[fixationdarknes]

If you guys could have Bodom play ONE live song (you can pick ANY one of their songs) for you, and you only had one choice...what would it be?

Myself I'd probably choose You're Better Off Dead. They have rarely played that song live, and plus it is probably tied with Children of Bodom (self-titled song) for my favorite Bodom song of all time.

lil blood red riding hood man!
i'd kill to seem them play that

and also "towards dead end"

[Cobain_Is_King]

Well I'm just back from Glasgow, was an amazing gig and amazing set, they played (not in order)
Sixpounder (opener)
In Your face
Living Dead Beat
Silent Night Bodom Night
Hate Me!
Follow the Reaper
Hellhounds on My Trail
Banned From Heaven
Blooddrunk
Smile Pretty for the Devil
Mask of Sanity/Deadnight Warrior
Angels Don't Kill
Hatecrew Deathroll
Needled 24/7
Don't Stop Believin (Journey cover :p: )
And of course, Downfall

Think thats about it anyway.
I waited outside for about 2 and a half hours and met the guys, they were all pretty cool but Roope was the best. Everyone seemed tired and they just wanted to go for a drink someplace, got everyone's autograph and stuff. I caught Henkka's sweatband after Downfall, it's awesome.
I also made a point to ask Roope about his parrots :haha he said the male one is very big now and that it swears like a mother****er, then I got a photo with him. Hennka didn't know whether or not they'd be back for the Machine Head/Slipknot tour; he said he assumed so but couldn't guarantee it.
Janne was pissed, he fell off a kerb while signing my ticket. Jaska was quiet and Alexi didn't say much, just came out, signed a few tickets, took a few photos and left but Roope was the best :p

[zigz407]

Damn! I really want to see them cover Don't Stop Believin.

[Cobain_Is_King]

It wasn't the whole song, Alexi asked Janne to show us what he's got and he started playing the piano part then Jaska joined in and Alexi sang the first verse but changed South Detroit to South Glasgow, then played a really sweet solo, they were all killing them selves, especially Janne, it was hilarious :haha

janne: "sorry for f***in up the set guys*
lool

Gratz on the VHT, Cody!

Does anyone besides me see Brad Pitt here? XD

[Cobain_Is_King]

"I am very sorry I totally ****ed up the set guys, thank you and goodnight." :haha
I told him it was a great show and he said "Yeah, great show, we had a lot of fun but I ****ed it up"
If I'm not mistaken the first note he played sounded like he was about to play Bed of Razors instead of Blooddrunk, shame he didn't :(

[the memory]

i wished they had played bed of razors actually

i always forget how good it is :(

[Cobain_Is_King]

[Firewind Raging]

I saw them live last night in Glasgow, it was awesome! :D

The cover of Don't Stop Believing was brilliant
Alexi: This is our last song
Crowd: Booooooooooo
*Don't Stop Believing*
Everyone: :haha

I hung around outside to get my ticket signed by Alexi. I shook his hand and told him they played an awesome show. He said thanks, and actually seemed really surprised that I complimented him. I liked that.

I actually totally agree. He really does look like him sometimes, albeit metal and a bit fat. :p:

But when he was younger, especially. Look!

[Shinozoku]

Yay! Somebody who sees it besides me!

[edusty2010]

Haha I see it in the younger one.

On a side note, I'm really into the star shape ESP has going that roope's been playing. Hopefully they'll get an LTD version out with EMG's and an OFR for me :p: lol

(From ESP.com) "The Roope Latvala LTD RL-600 offers a unique star-shaped alder body with a neckthrough design at 25.5” scale. The maple thin-U neck with ebony fingerboard has custom inlays and 24 XJ frets. Black nickel hardware includes a Floyd Rose bridge and Grover tuners, with an EMG HZ H-2 pickup controlled by a single volume knob. The guitar comes in a custom light grey finish."

Yeah I knew about that one, but I was thinking something more along the line of a standard series. Like a few color options, a better pickup(s) (I don't mind passive EMG's, but they're nothing compared to the actives), etc etc.

The pickup would be really easy to change... and I wouldn't count on color options, except black, and that probably wouldn't be unless they saw that these sold well.

I mean, he only plays black, white, and grey anyway.

True, but like I said I was thinking more along the lines of a standard series. As in not a signature guitar. So then the pickups and paint would be options that come available from ESP, rather than having to get it and change everything, and then still having someone else's name on it.

Oh, well that's not too likely, I would imagine.

It's called the Random Star. They only sell it outside of the US. Which means no LTD.

That does, however, mean that Edwards makes one, for cheaper.

[Firewind Raging]

Which guy were you? Lol, I was there.
The guy in the leather jacket with the Murderdolls hat :p:

Oh yeah, I was talking to some Mexican guy for a bit if that helps...

[the memory]

i love the ESP RS on the japan site...
white with the maple fretboard


ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *faints*

lol

']My favs off blooddrunk are probly hellhounds on my trail and smile pretty for the devil

you win
same here

[eazy-c]

My favourites are probably Hellhounds and Banned From Heaven.

They're the only songs that really stick out in my mind.

[[I Buy Peace]]

Oh yea Banned From Heaven is awsome too. I love the melody in it, the one that i think is a C minor arpeggio. I learnt that bit by ear, i think I might try and work out the rest of the song aswell


you win
same here

:cheers:

[the memory]

actually the solo on that is really good

Roope FTWWWWWWWWW

[SynGates7X]

I like the first solo in Banned From Heaven a lot more than any other solo on the album. I don't know what the fuss is about Roopes solo on it.

[Wartooth]

im flying from melbourne in australia to adelaide in australia just to se them! they rule. BTW does anyone know which 2 solos Roope perform on the new album?

[Wartooth]

and on are you dead yet too?

[the memory]

i dunno about the other one


and on AYDY, he definetly played the solo for their poison cover

[buckethead_jr]

BTW does anyone know which 2 solos Roope perform on the new album?
Banned from Heaven and Done with Everything, Die for Nothing.

[Dudeman5000]

Does Alexi sing 'clean' in any songs apart from 'Rebel Yell'???

I thought it gave the song an interesting dynamic...

[Firewind Raging]

:haha Haha thanks. I've had it for a good few years now like :p:

[fixationdarknes]

Many of the covers Bodom has done are like that. Some others with "clean" vocals are...

-Don't Stop At The Top
-Shot In The Dark
-Somebody Put Something In My Drink
-Bed Of Nails (mostly in the chorus)
-She Is Beautiful (to an extent)
-Oops! I Did It Again...
-Talk Dirty To Me
-We're Not Gonna Take It

[achiles03]

Does anyone know where I can get a power tab or just a regular tab for
Done with Everything, Die for Nothing



P.S.
Alexi does some clean vocals on Warmen's (Janne's solo project) cover of Somebody's watching me off the album Accept the fact.

[KoRnBitch]

What are your favorite songs off Blooddrunk?


Tie My Rope, Smile Pretty For The Devil, Hellhounds On My Trail, Labodomy, and Done With Everything Die For Nothing... <-main ones... :)
