Only Children of Bodom Thread.

[Tortiss]

am i the only one that thinks the trooper cover is absolutly horrible?

They never covered The Trooper. Its some other Band






:liplick:

[RaNdoM-FeLiX]

Lol i like EVERY single CoB i just cant help it , theres just something about them

[shadows666]

What are you talking about? I don't know of a Trooper cover, but you just contradicted yourself...
dude what I meant was that the band that did do the cocer of the trooper did a horrible job. I know it's not Bodom but the band that did the cover often gets labeled that when you find the song online or something...

[Gman400]

So when's the new dvd supposed to be released?

[Metal Matt]

^Oct. 24

[Gman400]

Nice, thanks. I just hope it doesn't have to much new stuff on it.

[Metal Matt]

They've released the tracklist. Check their website.

[laffyjam]

I really like COB's old stuff like Follow The Reaper, Hatebreeder, and Something Wild. But their new stuff just sucks IMO. Their new albums are so boring.

[Downfall929]

dude what I meant was that the band that did do the cocer of the trooper did a horrible job. I know it's not Bodom but the band that did the cover often gets labeled that when you find the song online or something...

the band is sentenced. the iron maiden song bodom covered is aces high. also, bodom didnt cover the final countdown, that was norther.

[flyingjew34]

Ahh, got ya man. :cheers:

[Adamus9]

Does anyone have a Hatebreeder wallpaper cause i realy want it as my background or any other cool CoB wallpaper.

[shadows666]

Does anyone have a Hatebreeder wallpaper cause i realy want it as my background or any other cool CoB wallpaper.
:idea:dude just go google "children of bodom wallpaper" under the image thing and you'll get some good stuff:headbang:

[Adamus9]

ok thank

[Slaughtered]

Does anyone have a Hatebreeder wallpaper cause i realy want it as my background or any other cool CoB wallpaper.
heh. You're dumb. :p:

[RustyGold]

why are you people saying they should sack the keyboard?

[Sun King]

^Because they feel like it, probably?

I love the keyboard though.

[flyingjew34]

why are you people saying they should sack the keyboard?
I haven't heard anyone say that...

But I don't think the band would be complete without the keyboard. It's adds such emotion to their songs.

[ROCK.ON]

The keyboard solos are amazing....sack him and u lost what makes COB so great

[ludachris0606]

sack the keyboardist? pff... thats rediculous.

[Magero]

Yea, agreed. Janne is a great addition. Besides I doubt Bodom would sack him just cause some fans say they should.

[AmIEvil?]

The keyboard solos are amazing....sack him and u lost what makes COB so great
youre right, without the keyboards cob would loose a dimension of the songs. i doubt they could find someone who could take him out

[noway777]

They should get more(better) guitar solos in their songs. The keyboards are nice and ****, and if used right it could be the best **** to ever grace God's land. But too much keyboards and the guitars get left out or left behind. Dragonforce would be a good example of keyboards and guitars, but they suck way too much for me to say that CoB should be more like them

[Bilzzard_of_Ozz]

The keyboard solos are amazing....sack him and u lost what makes COB so great

Seeing as how Alexi is the one writing all the stuff for keyboards, it's just a matter of finding someone who can nail it, then it would be of little effect who is playing it.

[lainey-painey]

Hi people rock on rock out and rock hard

[autumnskyguitar]

I don't think Alexi looks like a kid or a chick. He's just short.

[autumnskyguitar]

"punch me i bleed" is a pretty easy song, for bodom standards

[Bodom_Shredder7]

Seeing as how Alexi is the one writing all the stuff for keyboards, it's just a matter of finding someone who can nail it, then it would be of little effect who is playing it.

ah but Janne is an excellent player. listen to his solo stuff. which im pretty sure he writes.

[Nelsean]

I don't think Alexi looks like a kid or a chick. He's just short.

He looks like an old female boss I used to work for. He also reminds me of Dennis the Mennace for some reason when he wears a hat lol.

On a random note, im learning "Are You Dead Yet".

[almost_skater]

the best song on "Are you dead yet" are the covers. When i first heard Opps i Did It Again man i was laughing. anyways does anybody know where i can find tabs for the cover of Talk Dirty to me? i need that song so bad because in a few months my band is playing it.......

I might learn that also, I had a look at it and it doesn't seem too difficult compared to older children of bodom....I hope alexi isn't slowing down :eek: I just listened to Touch like angel of death - Tokyo warhearts it intro solo its so awesome :)

[metalreaper450]

With my first post i didn't mean to "diss" CoB. They are my favorite band. I'm not gonna lie, the reaper has hooked me and isn't letting go. Also, I'm sick of people talking s*** about alexi saying that he is overrated :livid: . He is awesome, he definitely knows how to strum a guitar (understatement) :rolleyes: . CoB is awesome, and they are from motherf***in Finland!!!!!!

[Crazy Horse]

im just starting to listen to CoB...and i found i have the cd "are u dead yet" from i guess...well i borrowed it like a year ago. but anyway. im starting to like them alot more
and as ive read, "are u dead yet" isnt a good album?.....than wat cd do u think i should get if i had to get 1?

[slipknot369]

Follow The Reaper or Hatebreeder, there best albums by far.

[metalreaper450]

Yeah i agree, Follow the Reaper was my first album, but Hatebreeder is also good. The thing is, you can't go wrong with either of the two albums. They definitely represent CoB at their best for sure.

[guitarslasher21]

insane guitar solos, great keyboard player, preety much the best Melodic Metal Band Ever!! And what more could you ask for? I thought Are You Dead Yet? was a great album and all of there albums are great.

[seek_&_destroy]

i'm doing a speech on heavy metal for school, and i mention Laiho a couple times, so... how do you pronounce "Laiho"?

[<><]

i'm doing a speech on heavy metal for school, and i mention Laiho a couple times, so... how do you pronounce "Laiho"?"Lay a ho".

:p:

[seek_&_destroy]

^ hmm i thought it was
"la ee ho"

[<><]

Actually, according to www.dictionary.com, the pronounciation is as follows:

Laiho (n), pronounced 'gā'.

[metalreaper450]

Why does everyone diss alexi like he's some red-headed step child? Children of Bodom is a band that puts out creative music filled with cool riffs, melodies, harmonies, solos and such(Are You Dead Yet is questionable). Just because they don't sound like everyone else doesn't mean they suck.

[Slaughtered]

I dont know why everyone rips on "Are you dead yet?" so much.. I think that's their grooviest album they made, not best, but its definately not the worst.

[SGRocker0791]

I think people don't like the music because of Alexi's vox.

[DeathLegionaire]

Yes it is. It lacks the technical prowess Kuppola brought to the band, Alexi stopped using the harmonic minor, his vocals are failing him, and basically, they got lazy.

[slipknot369]

I actually liked AYDY, but it just isnt the same as there first albums, there better BY FAR.

[metalreaper450]

Yeah, the harmonic minor riffs were the coolest (all albums through Hate Crew Death Roll) like Needled 24/7, Follow the Reaper, etc...What makes you say Alexander made most of the riffs? I thought Alexi wrote most of the riffs/songs. Just curious? Also, he probably thought stopped using the harmonic minor because he had done all he could with it. I don't know, he pretty much made three and a half albums off of that scale along with the other minors. If CoB returns to that melodic yet heavy sound, I would be impressed. I just hope they don't turn out like In Flames.

[BLOODthirsty]

Yes it is. It lacks the technical prowess Kuppola brought to the band, Alexi stopped using the harmonic minor, his vocals are failing him, and basically, they got lazy.

Yea, I kinda agree with the lazy part, but that's mainly because Alexi has to kinda work with Children of Bodom and then go and deal with Sinergy :rolleyes: But, I still stand failthful to Children of Bodom, Alexi is my God! And, I found Something Wild to be a pretty decent album, if anyone cares for my input. Are You Dead Yet was pretty good, If You Want Peace... Prepare for War was probabally the best song on it in my opinion. Besides that GO HATEBREEDER!!!! RWAR

[monkeh]

Hatebreeder definately their best album. Gotta love Children of Bodom, Hatebreeder and Towards Dead End on Hatebreeder album.
COB pwn

[Metal Matt]

Yes it is. It lacks the technical prowess Kuppola brought to the band, Alexi stopped using the harmonic minor, his vocals are failing him, and basically, they got lazy.

The band is most certainly not lacking in technical prowess seeing as how Roope is a much better guitarist than Alex was. Also Alexi has stopped using the harmonic simply because he says he's bored of it. That sort of thing happens. It doesn't mean he's getting lazy. And his vocals (while different) are actually more refined than ever and definently not failing him. His vocals were actually his weakest point up until AYDY but because they're different than they used to be they get ragged constantly (by people who don't know what the hell they are talking about).

[Davidian]

The only thing i dont really like about cob is the punky attitude and influence. Sometimes it works but mostly it pisses me off.

And with punky i dont mean youthlike.

[metalreaper450]

Yeah, like I said before Alexi built three and a half albums off of the harmonic minor (half refers to most of Hate Crew Death Roll). If CoB makes more songs like sixpounder, I would be pleased, that's for sure. Their style is changing but only because they were experimenting with some new sound. If they didn't change their sound, they would sound like slayer, slayer is good but they never changed their sound much or progressed as musicians.

[BLOODthirsty]

CoB never gets old, not to me atleast. Everytime I hear their songs, I loveeee them, haha. And listen for hoursss :-P to be truthful, Alexi is who inspired me to become a guitarist in the first place... Beep beep. But anywhoooo, my input on **** is kinda stupid, so I wont talk anymoreeeee

[Bloodletting77]

Both Roope and Alexi are extremely talented guitarists. Anyone new to this forum, I advise you to get a hold of Passage To The Reaper.... NOW!!!

[DeathLegionaire]

Also Alexi has stopped using the harmonic simply because he says he's bored of it. That sort of thing happens. It doesn't mean he's getting lazy.

I say lazy because eveything seems to have gone downhill. The solos/leads are less frequent, slower, less melodic, ect. The riffing style died alltogether and everything now seems to just be chugged on the 6th string with some powerchords thrown in every once in a while.

[Metal Matt]

^I cite for you Living Dead Beat, Are You Dead Yet, If You Want Peace... Prepare for War, and We're Not Gonna Fall.

[metalreaper450]

Sorry for bagging on Are You Dead Yet. It's really not that bad. It's just a bigger style jump than that from previous records. If CoB made Hatebreeder, then came out with Hate Crew Death Roll (skipping Follow the Reaper, if you will) you would still like them but you would say, "What the Hell happened to Bodom? They totally changed their style." That's exactly what is happening to CoB now. I still like them a lot, I don't think they've sold out, they just experimented with a different style.
Plus, in a interview with guitar world Alexi said something like, "yeah, the whole neo-classical thing got out of control in europe." He just wants to get away from being labeled Malmsteen Jr. and why not? Malmsteen is a fat jerk! plus his style gets old.
Alexi's style never gets old!!!!!

[shadows666]

Personally, I liked AYDY. But then again, I like all of Bodom's albums. Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper are their best ones in my opinion and the song "Downfall" owns your soul:headbang:

[Suicidal_Brick]

In an interview with I believe metal injection, they ask about their shying away from the neo-classical genre. Alexi says that they didn't plan on it happening, it just did. I say good for them, neo-classical does get old after a while. I miss some of the guitar/keyboard solos played together, but all they were were just ripps off of Mozart. Listen to Black Widow and you can clearly hear two passages from Mozart's Piano Concerto #20, K466.

Their new stuff is thrashier, but still amazing. People say that Alexi is getting lazy in his playing, I think he is refining it. You don't have to stick to the genre you start with when you're in a band. They are creative and can do whatever they want with their music. They can release an acoustic CD for all I can, if you're a fan, you will be a fan untill death.

If you rag on a player because their style evolves, you're an asshole.

[whalepudding]

I prefer the older stuff (Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper mainly), but I still love the new stuff.

[CkY freak]

I only started listening to them earlier this year. I have Are you dead yet?, Hatecrew, and hatebreeder. Are you dead yet was the first one I bought, I really really enjoy it, I like it a little bit better then hatecrew and hatebreeder, but these guys are the only metal band I can stand to listen to, so Im probably not the best person for an opinion,

[JimmyTheRipper]

Personally, I liked AYDY. But then again, I like all of Bodom's albums. Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper are their best ones in my opinion and the song "Downfall" owns your soul:headbang:

2nd. That, and they rock the hell outta the new songs live. CoB will always be an awesome band.

[metalreaper450]

Amen to Suicidal_Brick. Just because they change their style doesn't make them a sellout or anything. Alexi, Janne and the rest can still shred and they do. I saw them live in Sparks, Nevada in July 06. They played two songs from each album (excluding something wild, they opened for Lamb of God). Each song owned my soul, including in your face and living dead beat. These guys are for real, either playing speed, thrash, or neo-classical metal, they rock no matter what.

[Gman400]

Stop being such a god damn fanboy. Your post was okay but you don't need to conclude it with a cheesy song-title referance. It makes you sound like a dweeb.

[slipknot369]

:haha I agree.

[Cobain_Is_King]

There were no covers on Are you dead yet album, It was on the EP..

Rebel Yell (Billy Idol cover) is on Are You Dead Yet...

Edit: Referring to the post below, it differs from country. Bodom do that a lot, different countries get different stuff added on and shit, I got Rebel Yell on mine, that must be the UK one.

[shadowofbodom]

^not on the version i have. the only cover is "somebody put somthing in my drink" by the Ramones i believe.

[Slaughtered]

What! Why does everyone have extra songs except for me!! :( :(

[Bodom_Shredder7]

wait wait the ramones cover and billy idol cover were older i thought.

the ramones cover was released on the "youre better off dead" ep from before hatecrew deathroll

[DeathLegionaire]

wait wait the ramones cover and billy idol cover were older i thought.

the ramones cover was released on the "youre better off dead" ep from before hatecrew deathroll
It's on my copy of AYDY too...
:wtf:

[freak180]

hey!does anyone know what effects alexi mixes for his guitar?i have a zoom 505 2 and i need to know!

[freak180]

oh yeah and..COB RULES!!!!!!!!!

[Slaughtered]

hey!does anyone know what effects alexi mixes for his guitar?i have a zoom 505 2 and i need to know!
I don't think he has any effects does he?

[Necrolust]

I don't think he has any effects does he?

Yes . You can spot them in are you dead yet album. I dont know what he uses btw.
lol

[freak180]

ah crap...i hear he has a boss mt something..and some silver dragon thingy..but..im not sure...

[slipknot369]

I think he incorporates a violin pedal or something like that I remember hearing it in one of his videos on YouTube.

[freak180]

err..dude thats roopes effect.roope uses that effect.not alexi.

[freak180]

err..dude thats roopes effect.roope uses that effect.not alexi.

[slipknot369]

No. Alexi uses it to, Id go look for it on YouTube but I dont feel like it, its one of the ones on GuitarWorld I think.

[shadowofbodom]

the only effects that he uses are a delay pedal and a boost.

[EthanHC]

Hands down my favorite band I'm going to see them Dec. 13th.

[Slash_HuDsOn]

anyone know how i can get ticks to the dec 18th show in montreal? i cant get them off their site and ticketmaster doesnt have it listed

[Gman400]

Check with the venue. Sometimes they sell them at music stores. And I'm goin dec 16.

[metalreaper450]

Seeing them live is awesome, though I have to admit that Alexi f****s up one a couple notes every once and again and also he throws in diminished 7th arpeggios instead of the "normal" arpeggio associated with the song. Anyways, Alexi would have to mess up a couple notes, his solos are technical and require numerous takes in a studio so whatever. One thing is for sure. CoB rules and the harmonies sound awesome live!

[slipknot369]

Most of the time you can get them at the venue.


And yes, his solos are very technical, and hes only human, so its not uncommon for him to mess up.

[Crazy Horse]

i have follow the reaper and AYDY?.....wat are other good albums of CoB?

[Mr. President]

^^Hatebreeder owns the **** out of AYDY

[Crazy Horse]

^^Hatebreeder owns the **** out of AYDY

ya...lol AYDY does suck. i found it on my computer and listened to it. tho it DOES suck. it gave me the fire to want to hear more of CoB.

is "something wild" good? and is it better than hatebreeder?

[Shreddin 4 Life]

^^Hatebreeder owns the **** out of AYDY

+3056928

damn straight man :cheers:


btw Crazy Horse, get all of 'em ;)

[Gman400]

Something Wild is decent. If you're a CoB fan it's worth it, but Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper are both much better. You can tell Alexi wasn't as matured in his songwriting but there's some good stuff.

[Crazy Horse]

do they have any songs that are entirely instrumental??


(yes...i am a CoB newb......so im not sure if they have any)

[shadows666]

^the only song that they have that is instrumental is "Passage to the Reaper" and it's not really bodom. It's Roope and Alexi just doing a cool classical piece by Vivaldi. Check it out. I'm sure you can find it on youtube or get it off limewire like I did.

[Mrs_J_Hetfield]

I love COB! Follow the Reaper and Hatebreeder are awesome, haven't heard the new CD but I hope it's as good as these 2!

[slipknot369]

AYDY is not as good as FTR and HB.

[Gundamnitpete]

i loved AYDY, jsut bought FTR about two weeks ago, love it, and bought HCDR yesterday and i'm loving it also.

[Gundamnitpete]

oh yeah, going to see them dec. 1st, can't ****in wait.

[Your41Plague12]

AYDY is not as good as FTR and HB.

I like "Something Wild" the best.

[metalreaper450]

That is weird, I hear from a lot of people that they like "Something Wild" the most. I like it pretty good. My favorite three songs are deadnight warrior, lake bodom, and touched like angel of death. The other songs have cool riffs, but their structures are different than most bodom songs. FTR baby, wooooo!

[shadows666]

"Something Wild" is a very underrated album in my opinion. It has some of the best riffs I've ever heard and the songs, for me anyways, get stuck in my head easier than their newer stuff i.e. Hatecrew Deathroll. Their cover of "Silent Scream" is amzing. I still prefer Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper out of all of 'em.

[flyingjew34]

Follow the Reaper is my favorite...
>.>
<.<

[Embodiment]

I can't say which Bodom album is my favorite cuz that always changes. For the past few months I've been more into Something Wild and Hatebreeder though.

[shadowofbodom]

i think HCDR has some of their best riffs. honestly, its pretty amazing. besides, it was my first COB cd.

[slipknot369]

I think Needled 24/7 iss one of their greatest tracks from HCDR

[s_cholette88]

CoB is a fantastic band probably my favorite theyve got some of the sickest solos ive ever heard and i think the reason some people dont like them is cause they cant play any of their **** so they gotta bash them on the internet i have an idea save all of your CoB bashing and use it on something worth it like emo

[metalreaper450]

Does it bug anybody else when people say that CoB is "cheesy"? I guess I can see where they are coming from because Alexi himself has said that the band doesn't take themselves seriously. I guess that having keyboards and headbanging while they shred is chessy but, whatever. CoB rules!!

[Otisbum]

Just got into these guys earlier today, what CD would you guys recommend as a first?

[Gman400]

Hatebreeder. If you can't get that, get Follow the Reaper.

[Otisbum]

Cool, those seem to be the highest ranked on Sputnik Music too.

Thanks.

[jumpmanhat]

i dont like COB, very predictable music that is overrated, and Metalcore riffs that they get away with makes me sick.

[Ascendancy5]

i dont like COB, very predictable music that is overrated, and Metalcore riffs that they get away with makes me sick.
Then leave this thread and don't post here.

Their new live CD is sick, I just got it.

[DeathLegionaire]

i dont like COB, very predictable music that is overrated, and Metalcore riffs that they get away with makes me sick.
Metalcore riffs? Just because every metalcore band steals any melodic death riff they can get their fingers around doesn't mean the riffs are "metalcore," even in the case of Are You Dead Yet?, the song structure is competely different from any metalcore, i.e. very few breakdowns.

[Instrumetal]

after deliberation, my respect for Laiho and Co has determined that i shoulb invest in a CoB cd. what one would be the metal forums recommendation?

[shadows666]

^Go with Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper, or Something Wild. You can't go wrong there my friend:headbang:

[DeathLegionaire]

after deliberation, my respect for Laiho and Co has determined that i shoulb invest in a CoB cd. what one would be the metal forums recommendation?
Yay, another Coheed fan!

Anyways, I'd probably Hate Crew Deathroll after looking at your favorite band list, but their best albums are Something Wild, Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper, in no particular order.

[Bodom_Shredder7]

after deliberation, my respect for Laiho and Co has determined that i shoulb invest in a CoB cd. what one would be the metal forums recommendation?


i think hatebreeder would be the most accessable to the average CoB n00b.

[whalepudding]

I'd say Follow The Reaper.

[metalreaper450]

Yeah, Follow the Reaper was my first CoB album and probably my favorite(if it's possible to even pick a favorite). It was great but Hate Crew Death Roll might be the best if you aren't into neo-classical or melodic metal.

[Instrumetal]

I'm big into teh metalcore and stuff, or at least, music that people say is metalcore. the usuals, Trivium, LoG, A7x, etc...but i heard "Bed of Razors" and thought it was amazing. I believe that comes of Hatebreeder right?

[Gman400]

Yeah. Hatecrewcrew Deathroll and Are You Dead yet are their less metal albums though. I don't think one would call it metalcore but it's definately more similar to that style than Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper. That said, if you like Bed of Razors you'll definately like Hatebreeder. There are some breakdowns in the album and things like that to, so yeah.

[Slaughtered]

Yeah. Hatecrewcrew Deathroll and Are You Dead yet are their less metal albums though.
Those are my two favorite albums :( :(

[flyingjew34]

Those are my two favorite albums :( :(
Haha, owned. Na, I like those albums too man. :cheers:

[Nightstalker616]

Follow the Reaper is in my opinion there best album, Kissing the Shadows is prolly the best song they ever recorded..

[Tarzan_man]

Why doust no one like Hate Crew Deathtoll :( It's my fave album from them...

Bodom Beach Terror and Triple Corpse Hammerblow FTW :(

[Metal Matt]

^I'm with you. I love that album. It's my favorite of theirs.

[metalreaper450]

I like all of CoB's stuff, HCDR is their heaviest stuff that still stays true to their old sound, melodic yet heavy. AYDY has melodic elements but the guitar work isn't as good, although the drums are still pretty good. Angels don't kill, Sixpounder, and Needled 24/7 are the best songs off of HCDR anyways.

[\m/CoBhC\m/]

yeh hatecrew and hatebreeder are my favs... anyone see the duel in Chaos?

[warchick]

I can't believe how many people here are dissing Janne Warman. He's one of the most talented keyboardsists on the planet. COB purposely struggled for years with sessionists waiting for Warman to graduate from music school – that is how much Warman is as an asset to the band.

Keyboards may not be as metal as the guitar (don't get me wrong, I love Alexi Laiho), but i suggest all the Warman haters to broaden their musical horizons or maybe at least acknowledge warman as a true virtuoso.

For Warman fans, check out his other band Warmen(a side project he formed in year 2000).

[JuicyMango]

Their keyboardist is ****ing amazing.

[steady666]

i want that DVD

["putnamehere"]

I only have Are You Dead Yet?, I just discovered them last March. :haha

[flyingjew34]

Their keyboardist is ****ing amazing.
No, not exactly...

He is very creative, and adds a great element to the band. But I have seen much better keyboardists in my day.

[Instrumetal]

so, I ended up getting Hatebreeder. Killer Cd, I love everything on it. Thanks metal guys!

[PantallicA91]

COB kicks A** live. saw them on the unholly alliance tour and they were pretty damn tight. also alexi is one of THE best neo-classical metal guitarists out there right now and the keyboard kicks a**. period.

[Bilzzard_of_Ozz]

My friend went to unholy alliance last night. Said that they sucked and he only went there to bash the crap out of CoB/LoG-preeten fags. I hope he's got bloodstains to show for it.

[Night_Lights]

^a bit lame to go to a show just to beat people who want to have a good time....

[Bilzzard_of_Ozz]

^a bit lame to go to a show just to beat people who want to have a good time....

Nah. He went for the Wall of Death as well. But I think it's a good thing. Teach the kids what it should be like. All a bunch of pussies anyway.

[TheNthDimension]

So basically he went just to tell everyone how Slayer were the only "real" band there and they're all a bunch of pussies for liking different music? What a twat.
I don't think much of the usual crowd of pretentious emo-metalcore kids that hangs around these gigs either, but true metal or not, I like the music, and that's why I go.
I'm going to Unholy Alliance on Monday and your friend sounds like exactly the kind of person I don't want to see there.

[jasse_91]

i saw them yesterday at unholy alliance tour =) they were awesome

[Bilzzard_of_Ozz]

So basically he went just to tell everyone how Slayer were the only "real" band there and they're all a bunch of pussies for liking different music? What a twat.
I don't think much of the usual crowd of pretentious emo-metalcore kids that hangs around these gigs either, but true metal or not, I like the music, and that's why I go.
I'm going to Unholy Alliance on Monday and your friend sounds like exactly the kind of person I don't want to see there.

Who said that he went for Slayer? He didn't. He just went to bash people. And yeah, he's a genuine twat, and that's what's great about him. And if it was cheaper to go, I'd have joined him in the massacre, simply because it's fun to make little kids that think they're tough think again as to if the actually belong at metal concerts at all. And to keep them from comming to Satyricon this thursday.

[Tarzan_man]

Under 16s should be in the seated for slayer concerts. If they decide to go into the Pit it's their own fault for not expecting such brutality from slayer fans.

[TheNthDimension]

^I'll agree with that - if you go in the pit, you get what you ask for. It's just that I go for the music, not to beat up the crowd.

[spoonylove90]

i agree but some of these pits are rediculous......im no pussy but come on.....ozzfest is one big pit and unholy alliance is prolly no different

[CodySG]

Pit rock man, so do Bodom. I've seen them live twice and they're pretty awesome, Alexi can be pretty funny to the crowd too.

[Kiwi16]

I love his classical influence.

If you like the classical influences, check out my flash box on my Bebo homepage, http://The-REAL-Kiwi.bebo.com It's unreal!

[im_hungry]

My friend went to unholy alliance last night. Said that they sucked and he only went there to bash the crap out of CoB/LoG-preeten fags. I hope he's got bloodstains to show for it.
cool.... :rolleyes:

[future rock god]

what would you guys recommend as the children of bodom album to start with, i was thinking of getting one to christmas so any suggestions?

[Gman400]

Get Hatebreeder.

[Instrumetal]

^ That's what they told me.

I'm glad i listened :D

[Shreddin 4 Life]

man, I'm gonna see 'em on December 18th w/ Amon Amarth


can't ****in' wait :)

["putnamehere"]

I'm currently learning Are You Dead Yet? I started this morning and I can play it up to the chorus. :D

[JohnnyNapalm]

I ****ing love Children of Bodom.

You can most definitely hear their Classical, Black Metal and Punk influences.

[metalreaper450]

what would you guys recommend as the children of bodom album to start with, i was thinking of getting one to christmas so any suggestions?

Follow the Reaper or Hatebreeder for sure.

[Suicidal_Brick]

HATEBREEDER for the love of god. In my opinion it is their best CD.

[CyanideAssassin]

Children of Bodom dont have a CD Thats worht getting for christmas.






























they only have cds worth getting so you can be pulverized by the supreme power and metalness and awesome riffage and solo's and intricate work on each and every album!!!!!!!!!......i suppose that would make a good christmas present though.....

/Shuns himself for horrible humor.

[future rock god]

well looks like hatebreeder wins here, cheers guys

[shadows666]

This is Bodom's last tour for the AYDY? album so I hope this means a new album is in the works. Does anyone know? Also, going to see them on the 12th of December w/ Amon Amarth!!!!!!:headbang:

[BringMeTheCalm]

I haven't heard anythign about a new album and they just released that live cd so i doubt it.

[Suicidal_Brick]

New album out next fall 2007.

[L.MoshSuperstar]

Saw them live @ Unholy Alliance. Great. Energetic. Keyboard player looked bored shitless mind. Great set though

[Gman400]

^Probably cocked shitless.

[flyingjew34]

^Probably cocked shitless.
Lol, wouldn't doubt it. :p:

[Shinozoku]

I really wanna see these guys live. Trashed Lost and Strungout (the song, and then the EP) got me into them. Then I got Are You Dead Yet?, and I really liked it, regardless of what everyone else thinks. I like some of the songs better than others (TLASO, We're Not Gonna Fall, and Living Dead Beat), but I LOVE Follow the Reaper. There's not one song on it that I skip. In fact, I'm trying to learn some of the songs form that album (the title track, and Every Time I Die).

Is it just me, or are bands naming themselves after their songs (Hatebreed, Every Time I Die)? I'm aware both of those bands have been around a while, but I just made the connection between the names a while back and was wondering if it was just coincidence.

[deminich666]

i dunno..whats's going on here..im new..whats up?? CoB?? why???

[DeathTouch666]

CoB, hands down, excellent. No better band then Bodom.

[future rock god]

i dunno..whats's going on here..im new..whats up?? CoB?? why???

come back when that makes sense

[Napalmdeth]

does anyone have any idea of the setlist bodom will have on their upcomming headlining tour?

[TheNthDimension]

Saw them live @ Unholy Alliance. Great. Energetic. Keyboard player looked bored shitless mind. Great set though
I think he felt a bit left out when the whole house was shouting "ALEXI!" :p:
Poor sod, he did put on a damn good show though.

[shadows666]

Yeah, it ruled so much when janne played the solo silent night bodom night while drinking a brew.

That guy gets so bored that he can drink and shred at the same time.

[elaboratemind]

I would just like to say that i really like bodom and think Alexi is a great guitar player but Roope Latvala(rythm) does not get enough attention

[b_dog]

I had heard about CoB in magazines and stuff but had never heard any of their songs. The other day I downloaded the single "Are You Dead Yet" and it's a pretty awesome track. <shrugs>

[Shinozoku]

I would just like to say that i really like bodom and think Alexi is a great guitar player but Roope Latvala(rythm) does not get enough attention


Definatley. Hell, he was one of Alexi's biggest influences as a kid, you'd think he'd at least let him solo some more :p: Only one on a studio album that I know of is his trade-off with Alexi in "Knuckleduster", and then there's his solo on "Chaos Ridden Days: Stockholm Knockout Live".

[Gman400]

Yeah, I think it was a poor choice for Alexi to do virtually all the soloing. Roope could definately have spiced it up and brought a new element to the band. I guess Alexi is in pretty much 100% control, since I'm sure if Roope had much imput it would be more metal.

[CodySG]

I really like Bodom, and some of their stuff has influenced my playing, but I just hate the fact that Alexi gets all this attention. There a TON of guitarists that are just as good, if not better than him that people don't even know exist....sad really.

[Shinozoku]

Yeah, CoB has influenced my playing alot. I do alot more harmonies where one of us plays a 2 or 3 note power chord, and the other guy just plays one note, or does a wierd inversion, and one of my songs has this big harmonized chorus. I'm also brushing up on my sweep arpeggios.

[metalreaper450]

Yeah, I'm a crazy fan of Bodom but your point is definitely true.

It is just in human nature to hype up someone that you like. If someone has some obvious skill, which alexi has, then you add in the fact that you listen to his music for 3 hours a day and everyone is running around talking about him instead of finding out about new artists or whatever. Again I like Bodom, but people aren't subjective enough to take a step back and recognize that there is more out there than what we like. That is how I got into Bodom in the first place, I went outside my musical tastes to try something new and liked it a lot.

I will step off of my soapbox now.
Sorry.

[Shreddin 4 Life]

man, I gotta say I can't wait til Bodom rolls into town on the 18th of December. Already got my ticket--guarding it with my life lol

[Cobain_Is_King]

Their keyboardist is ****ing amazing.

Janne is a ****ing legend. Although Alexi does compose the keyboard parts on his guitar, and Janne even admits he struggles with some parts. In an interview he said he hates playing the keyboard solo in Mask of Sanity because he can harldy even pull it off =)
I have all the albums and EP's, oh and Chaos Ridden Years > Every one of us.

[Shinozoku]

Mwuah, "Mask of Sanity" ****in' rules! Probably my favorite CoB solo. It's just so... insane xD

[Needled 24/7]

hello friends!
I just joined this forum deal today and the first thing i looked for was a Bodom forum.
Has anyone seen the new C.R.Y DVD yet?

[Bodom_Shredder7]

^^ chaos ridden years is so awesome. i love it. i have it on my Ipod.

[Needled 24/7]

^^ Me too! It is amazing, far superior to Nosturi. . .Im going to buy it once its released, to get the bonus features and what not.
I just bought the new ESP ltd Alexi signiature guitar! *orgasms. . .*

[garden of grey]

^ slap an EMG 81 in the bridge and the guitar will be twice as good!


Nice guitar btw

[Needled 24/7]

^^I really want to, the HZ is kindof weak. IT would sound so much better with an 81. . .

I really lke it, i took 3 months ****ing months to get in though. . .

do you own one as well?

[CodySG]

Honestly, the only reason I would buy that guitar is because it's a 24 fret guitar. I hate the idea of just a bridge pickup though....I use my neck and middle pups sooo much. The shaved neck on the ESP is decent as well. I'll probably end up just getting an RR1 though.

[Needled 24/7]

That was my thought too at first. i really miss having a neck pickup, now, the only way to get a nice sounding clean tone is to load it up with chorus.
The Alexi 600 is in another galaxy of quality from the RR1 though. THe neck is pristine and the joint is wonderous for playing fast, which is kindof lacking with the RR1, which has a large square neck joint and the neck itself is kindof coarse. . .Plus, the alexi looks so much cooler. . .hehehe

[CodySG]

How does it look cooler? It's not even a true rhoads :haha

Anyway, you just have to like Jackson necks and I think they're pretty nice necks.

[Needled 24/7]

eh, well i guess it just comes down to personal preference. . .

Ive just always found ESP/LTDs to be more elegant then jacksons. . .More like, high end.

And yes, by the way, DR strings are the only way to go.

[Shinozoku]

There's another Rhoads sold by ESP overseas that you can get for a little bit more than than LTD Alexi. It comes stock with active EMGs, and has dot inlays (those being the only differences from the Alexi, besides the fact that it's a true Rhoads shape). Oh, and it has no stripes.

A little more? That thing costs ~$2500 man! Damn.

[Shinozoku]

xD I forgot to check the price again, I was just going by the thread I found the link on. I think it's like, 400 euros more or something. I dunno... xD

[Night_Lights]

i wouldnt buy the alexi model myself, because sound wise it wouldnt be worth the price (though it looks cool as hell!). EMG HZ? thats weak.


what i would want though is Alexi's preamp and power amp. :D

You're right, though, I don't think the guitar is worth that much even if it is beautiful.

[JimFear86]

Mwuah, "Mask of Sanity" ****in' rules! Probably my favorite CoB solo. It's just so... insane xD

:cheers:

I'd say that it contains my absolute favourite Bodom solo(s). In your face (not the song :p: ) and right to the point! The keyboards doubling up on the guitars in the third part of the solo is just icing on the cake :D

CAUSE ITZ DA RIT FIN TO DO!!!!!

/watches video

[glasscock]

saw them live with gojira and amon amarth on 12/4.

all the bands were really good live.

alexi spits a lot.

they're keyboard player gets drunk off of his ass and blabbers a bunch of finnish into the microphone.

[CodySG]

:haha he didn't do that when I've seen them :(

Oh well, maybe next time :(

[glasscock]

yeah its hilarious.

but a great band to watch live, quite a stage presence.

[CodySG]

Yea I think that's one of the reasons Bodom are so popular, they do put on one damn of a live show.

[glasscock]

yeah their keyboard player would leave during the verses and stuff whenever he didnt play and come back on stage with like 2 more beers right on time.

i'm guessing he had some kind of refridgerator back stage.

[CodySG]

With all the beer I saw on stage the times I've seen them, I wouldn't be suprised if they had beer tapped to their bodies :haha

[jasonsol]

I... Love... The... Wank.

I am a sucker for the wank. I enjoy the sound I hear, and I think Alexi pwns guitar :).

[raysoh8]

With all the beer I saw on stage the times I've seen them, I wouldn't be suprised if they had beer tapped to their bodies


Maybe thats why they're so sloppy live, from the videos I've seen.

And dont get me wrong, I love cob, but jesus, alexi's live tone makes me cringe. Roll back the mids, for christ sake. The guitar sounds really nasal, for lack of a better word. And a little delay on his leads won't hurt either. Their tone sounds so good on the cd, but live, it all sounds like a school talent show.

[Gibson06]

alexi's live tone makes me cringe.

Well he's gotta "sing" too...

[metaljroc]

Oh yeah. CoB is ****in fantastic. Whoever does not like them, that is your loss. From start to finish, CoB kicks ass. Alexi is an amazing guitarist and singer. Whoever thinks he isn't, try to play any CoB song and sing at the same time, then tell me who sucks. Janne Warman is a keyboard maniac. The guitar/keyboard solos are too ****in cool. Whoever thinks they aren't, expand your musical horizon. I saw CoB on the unholy alliance tour, they were amazing. Although they only played a 30-45 minute set, they were still the best performers on the list. And yes, to all you slayer fags, they kicked slayer's ass. Actually, we left before the gayness in slayer ruined the night. But this is about CoB, and they kick ass. Anybody who disagrees, go **** yourself with a slayer cd. COBHC IS THE ****IN BEST IN THE WORLD.

[CodySG]

gayness of Slayer.........

:haha

[dagnet]

Some songs sound kick ass...with the first listen. I find that they follow the same formula for most of their songs.

-Intro
-Playing Really Fast
-YAOW YAOW
-More fast playing
-YAOW YAOW
-Keyboard/Guitar Solo
-Keyboard Guitar Solo pt. 2
-YAOW YAOW YAOW YAOW
-Outro

Still, it soudns OK.

Haha. That made me chuckle.

CoB still rock though. :headbang:

[Wildust]

hey, I'm new on UG... and I love all the stuff from Children. I play guitar, and I've just formed a band for playing songs of CoB.
I'm from Viña del Mar, Chile. My english is not the best, I guess.

Wow that link was awesome what a show. I loved how alexi stood on the car lol.


And am i the only one that thinks the drummer looks like chris pontius?

[Tarzan_man]

I saw them back on the 5th Nov with the Unholy Alliance and the Intro they have his brilliant :haha: Classic. Had a bodom fan up beside me when they were on and we sang the lyrics together. Ahhh Male bonding.

[SynGates7X]

how the hell have i never seen this thread before? but anyway, CoB is really good. All the members are really talented, but I'm sure you all already know that.

[Gman400]

Anybody been to the North American tour yet? What was the setlist?

[SynGates7X]

i would have gone but they arent coming anywhere close to me. The closest is NYC, and my parents dont think that a concert justifies a 3 hour car ride.

[garden of grey]

Anybody been to the North American tour yet? What was the setlist?


Ya rly monday. I think like northern comfort, mask of sanity, needled 24/7, are you dead yet, bodom beach terror, bodom after midnight, and like a few more (in no order)

[davo_TSL]

anyone know of any bodom gigs in australia? i know they came a while back, but i didnt get to see em :(

[Rox0r713]

Man... They're in Denver, CO tomorrow... And I'll be in Denver as of Thursday. Sons of bitches, why couldn't they schedule around me?!?!

[CodySG]

Cause they don't give a fuck who hates them, so they do whatever they want.

[Instrumetal]

Cause they don't give a **** who hates them, so they do whatever they want.

Lol. If that's a song reference to "Hate Me!" then :golfclap:

[Davidian]

^ Thank you captain obvious.

[CodySG]

^ Thank you captain obvious.

:haha

Yea, I didn't think anyone would doubt that it was....it didn't take much though :haha

[shadows666]

I hope I'm not the only one to notice this but it seems like there were way more solo's on SW than on any of the other COB albums. I personally think that those solo's were the best ones Alexi ever did (with a few exceptions: Everytime I Die, Downfall, Mask of Sanity, and a few others). What do you guys think?

[Seth Shadows]

I've been lookin for this thread for weeks...then I realized I was in in the hardcore forum O_O
But yeah. the solos were killer on SW. Alexi's amazing.
But I'll Always be obsessed with Follow The Reaper and Hatebreeder...

...

BED OF RAZORS :)

[spoonylove90]

i picked up the chaos years: Stockholm Knockout cd.........thats got everything on it. buy it.......they r sooo good

[CodySG]

The DvD > The CD

I don't know if the CD has the doc. stuff on it. I would rather watch a live show then listen to it anyway.

[JaMeZtEr]

i like CoB alot, i just bought "Are You Dead Yet?" but i relized that all of they're chorus's have them same four chords in them. but other than that Alexi is SICK!!! and i enjoy the keyboarding it adds flovor to the songs thats somthing that others dont have.

dude i never noticed until i read that. hahaha its true! we're not gonna fall's chorus has the exact same chord AND progression as trashed lost and strungout! anyway alexi and roope are amazing at guitar, janne is amazing at keyboards, jaska is amazing at drums, and henkka's pretty good at bass. definitely one of my favorite bands ever! except when they're playing live janne wont ever shut up on the keyboards its kinda gay hearing like a gothic tune while alexi is talking to the crowd

[eviledge87]

yeah the guitar parts (excluding the solos obviously) are pretty basic (as basic as CoB can get prolly) on Are You Dead Yet? but that cd has a great rhythm to it, prolly cause the whole thing is in Drop - C tuning which is now my favorite tuning

last week i was talking to my friends guitar teacher, he plays bluegrass stuff, and we were discussing my interest in metal, and i said that my favorite metal band was Children of Bodom and he was like "oh yeah i saw them last week" this coming from a guy with straight white hair, who plays in a bluegrass band, and i kinda old, i was shocked....CoB kicks that much ass obviously

and The Chaos Ridden Years DVD is amazing, i love the part were alexi gets arrested for "disturbing the peace" at the end of the documentary

"sir we people are getting upset by your playing, we need to relocate you"
"well no one has really seemed to mind, they given me quite a bit of money too"

[CodySG]

prolly cause the whole thing is in Drop - C tuning which is now my favorite tuning

.....

Honestly, that shouldn't have made you like the CD more. Except for the first album all the other ones are in D. Drop C IS D standard except the low string is dropped so that can barre power chords.

[DaveGilmour1189]

.....

Honestly, that shouldn't have made you like the CD more. Except for the first album all the other ones are in D. Drop C IS D standard except the low string is dropped so that can barre power chords.

So basically drop-D detuned 1 step.

[Srsly]

Drop C is just like tuning to Drop D from EADGBE.

[Shinozoku]

Is there an echo of stating-the-obvious in here?

I'm gonna look for the DVD Tuesday if I have time. I have piano class then, and Sonic CDs is right next to it. If I get there early I'll go in and look for it.

And some Exodus :headbang:

[CodySG]

I know my store was only shipped two when it came out, I lucked out. With X-mas coming though, hope they still have a copy when you get there.

[Shinozoku]

No shit XD I'm really excited to get it.. I have the CD (I probably already mentioned that) adn while it's cool, Alexi needs to pay a liiittle more attention to his playing. I read in a Guitar World interview his views on people (like Dream Theater) who focus on every little note and never **** up, and I agree with him a bit. But there's a point where you just gotta focus, man XD But it was still awesome. Way more energy than the studio recordings alone. I have a feeling that If I every start playing shows with my band I'll hit my share of bad notes :p:

Some of the improvs were really cool though, I may actually incorporate them when I play those songs, actually XD

[Gman400]

I just got back from Sanctity/Gojira/Amon Amarth/Bodom, and it freakin' owned. Bodom played well but I was sort of dissapointed because I think there was only 2 songs from Hatebreeder. Alexi played pretty decent I guess. It's not like it was spot-on and I didn't expect that, but he was pretty good with his leads and stuff. It's just I don't like the new stuff that much (save a few songs) so all in all I liked Amon Amarth a bit better.

[CodySG]

God damn!!! They just couldn't come here could they!?!?!

Damn amazing awesome why better then me super cool assholes!

[Shinozoku]

Lol! Welcome to my world of frustration... they're never near my hometown.... Of course, that's not really surprising xD

[CodySG]

Well they've been here twice. One time on there last headliner and then as a side show with Lamb of God during the UA tour. I wish I could see them with Amon Amarth though, that would be soo kick ass!

[66something]

If you're saying CoB will never sell out then think again. They've gotten more and more mallcore the past 2 albums and it's not getting any better. I'm not saying that's necessarily selling out, because Alexi said he's sick of the neo-classical thing, but it's not like CoB hasn't become popular and stuff.

[CodySG]

True, but they are still pretty raw in there attitude and stuff...hard to explain what I mean by that but oh well. Also, the live shows are amazing, and there still play the old stuff live, so that's cool.

[spoonylove90]

DR strings r good.....not the best........ernie ball .10-.52 = pwnage

[CodySG]

....

What does that have to do with Children of Bodom? Besides the fact Alexi uses them. That's like me saying *what ever eye make up he uses* is decent, but I like Revlon better.
