Only Children of Bodom Thread.

[Shinozoku]

What is this faggotry mine eyes do see? They're keyboardist rules. Keyboard/guitar duels, man.
They are keyboardist rules? o.o Uhm, go over your grammar and spelling.

There: Over there; there it is; I'll see you there
Their: Their children are annoying; I see their point, but find their views ignorant
They're: They're in the living room; they're going to get hurt if they keep this up; they're not coming to my hometown yet AGAIN :(

And btw, his name is Janne and he MAKES the band :p:

[Pernell]

Yeah yeah, fuck off and die. How's that?

edit: and yes, he rules

[Munchlaxatives]

Keyboards aren't for everyone. It took me a while to like them.

[3Dpaper]

do you pronounce Alexi as Alex or A-lex-e

[DashBlaster]

a-LEX-i

Alex-ee sounds awkward.

[stratdud39]

its pronounced alex-ee, though

[icaneatcatfood]

could probably find something rough but they might change it every night

[Alter-Bridge]

yo, whats bodoms set list for the 16th of april??
Living Deat Beat
Are You Dead Yet
If You Want Peace... Prepare For War
Punch Me I Bleed
In Your Face
Next In Line
Bastards Of Bodom
Rebel Yell
Downfall

[eazy-c]

That's a terrible setlist.

[Alter-Bridge]

B...B....But Downfall!

[eazy-c]

I've seen them play Downfall three times.

[dminishedthingy]

I'd love that setlist.

[eazy-c]

That's because you're ghey :mad:


I would have loved it about a year ago TBH.

[InvaderTSN]

That's a terrible setlist.

Yeah. Not enough Hatebreeder/Follow the Reaper songs. They should stick Bed of Razors or Kissing the Shadows in there at least.

[dminishedthingy]

AYDY is their only album I listen to anymore, so I'd go see that.
There's just something about it...

[Shinozoku]

Yeah yeah, fuck off and die. How's that?

edit: and yes, he rules
I love you too :liplick:
seconded lol
I'll see your harpsichord and raise you an organ.

good lord
its distinctly lacking in hatebreeder and FTR though

[valdean]

AYDY is their only album I listen to anymore, so I'd go see that.

Implosion of Heaven dude.
I never listen to anything but the old old CoB if I'm going to listen to them.

[Shinozoku]

:) I love you.
Get in line, buddy :p:

[Vittu0666]

Get in line, buddy :p:
Been in line for a while. :)

[Alter-Bridge]

By the way guys, the set list I posted isn't real.

[DashBlaster]

Saw them last night. Setlist was something like follows:
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Follow The Reaper
Hate Me
Hellhounds On My Trail
Living Dead Beat
Bodom Beach Terror
In Your Face
Blooddrunk
Angels Don't Kill
Downfall

Pretty good set, much better than Gigantour last year, but there were still so many songs I wish they'd played. Kissing The Shadows, Bed Of Razors, Bodom After Midnight, Lake Bodom, Needled 24/7. But they did play Bodom Beach Terror, and that was amazing.

[yoozum]

Sadly, I don't think they'll ever play Kissing the Shadows again. I think it's because the solo is a bitch to play live as well as a few other parts of the song.

[CodySG]

I just don't think they'll ever play the song live again.

The solo isn't really hard at all...it's just there is a lot to play, but either way...if you can't play your songs live, you probably need to rethink about being in a band.

[ScalyGuitarrist]

They should play Northern Comfort...such an underrated track.... >_>

[Shinozoku]

^Agreed. But only when I go see them in 500 years when I have money :D

[1010011010]

I'm gonna see them live for the third time today.
Hell yeah.

[Cobodomhc]

Children Of Bodom!! Well, one of my favorite bands. They've been my favorite band for about 3 years now. I always seem to enjoy listening to them. Alexi Laiho is amazing on the guitar i'd have to say. Also another favorite. His vocals are amazing and yeah the whole band is great. I used to listen to them in school and people would ask what kind of metal and **** like that lol. Most of them found them different. but thats because they weren't use to listening to that. aside from their peice of **** rap. Hate breeder is one of my favorite albums, it was the first album I heard and I just fell in love with it. This band is just great. I can listen to them alot, now the only goal I want to master is to be able to play some COB on guitar. Anywayz, BODOM!!!!

[durhamdynamo]

Never really got that into Something Wild, even though I love Lake Bodom I just felt that a lot of the songs never really got anywhere and seemed to drone towards the end, while I absolutely detest Alexi's vocals on this.
Hatebreeder was a great album, love Warheart, SNBN, Towards Dead End, Bed of Razors and especially Downfall. Alexi's vocals had improved massively for this album. I really, really, really love the first solo in Downfall. It's orgasmic :D
Follow the Reaper was generally a good album, but Kissing the Shadows and Hate Me are two of possibly the greatest songs ever made. KtS simply because of the technical ability on show and Hate Me, well, because its amazing, really.
Hate Crew Deathroll is what I believe to be the greatest album ever made. Every song is brilliant and its the only album that I can listen to all the way through. Alexi's vocals had also reached an all-time high on this album, especially in Needled 24/7.
Are You Dead Yet? never lived up the high quality set by its predecessor as it was much too inconsistent. The brilliance of Living Dead Beat, In Your Face, Punch Me I Bleed and We're Not Gonna Fall was followed up by Are You Dead Yet? If You Want Peace...Prepare For War and Bastards of Bodom. Still a good album though, and I know all the words to In Your Face :)
Blooddrunk was a bit of a shock to the system, to be honest, but the more I listen to it the more amazing it sounds. Blooddrunk, Tie My Rope, Smile Pretty For The Devil, One Day You Will Cry, Banned From Heaven, Done With Everything, Die For Nothing and Lookin' Out My Backdoor are all amazing songs, and even if the likes of Roadkill Morning and Lobodomy don't quite hit the mark for me, Blooddrunk is a really good album if you just give it a chance

[Alter-Bridge]

I'm gonna see them live for the third time today.
Hell yeah.
You're seeing COB three times in one day?!!?!?!!?

[1010011010]

You're seeing COB three times in one day?!!?!?!!?
I guess I worded my sentence wrong. You know what I mean.
...Right? :o

Just came back from the concert btw.
It wasn't as good as I expected.

[ScalyGuitarrist]

^BLASPHEMY!!!

























:sad: You've obviously seen it all before......

[1010011010]

Not only that, but their set was short as ****.
The fact that As I Lay Dying had a longer set than them pissed me off royally.

[eazy-c]

But you got to see Municipal Waste, that far outweighs any negatives.

[Tubyboulin]

But you got to see Municipal Waste, that far outweighs any negatives.
"This next song is about a ****ing Shark"
"This song is dedicated to SATAN!" :haha

I was at the show last night as well. I thought they did great (Although I couldn't hear Alexi over the keyboard when they were soloing together). They blew the rest of the bands before them out of the water imo.

Wish they woulda had a longer set. As I lay Dying was getting on my nerves after a few songs.

[1010011010]

I fell asleep during As I Lay Dying.
And yes, Municipal Waste are a fun live act.

[LordPino]

Now, how was that post about CoB?





My favourite album's Hatebreeder, though Follow the Reaper is terribly awesome aswell.

[lilboisX3]

I only like Hatebreeder and Hatecrew Deathroll......mildly.

I never understood all the praise this band gets.

Do you prefer chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla ice cream?

[Ssw706]

My friend went to the show in Worcester, MA on Saturday and said it was great, he said they played Lake Bodom, Bodom Beach Terror, Silent Night Bodom Night, and some other songs from AYDY.

[Vittu0666]

You know, I just realized this. If it wasn't for Alexi looking so sexy with the Wildchild, I wouldn't be as Jackson RR crazy as I am.

[lilboisX3]

I don't like ice cream much.

[james2112]

AYDY is their only album I listen to anymore, so I'd go see that.
There's just something about it...

Its a pretty good record, but nowhere near as good as Follow The Reaper. They tried to be heavier than the other stuff (less melodic) when there was no real need. What makes Bodom stand out, to me at least, is Alexi's awesome sense of melody, which is exagerated throught the keyboards. That record doesnt have it in comparison to FTR.

[GerGuam]

I was just listening to Banned From Heaven and I realized that it was one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I think it's their best song.

[Shinozoku]

I don't like ice cream much.
Point made :peace: Not everything is for everyone. You might not care for ice cream, but many other people do! You probably prefer beef BBQ over pork, or vice-versa; crispy chicken instead of original recipe, etc. Same with music; you might not see why other people like these things you do not, and they probably don't see why you DON'T like the things THEY like! It's all personal preference.

[CodySG]

I'd like Bodom a lot more if they came in BBQ original recipe :sad:

[DashBlaster]

I'd like Bodom a lot more if they came in BBQ original recipe :sad:
I like the new jalapeno cheddar though. It spices up Bodom's repertoire.

Thank you Mr. Obvious. I don't need a clarification on what an opinion is.

[Munchlaxatives]

Just watched them tonight. A few thoughts:

Municipal Waste is the worst band I've ever heard. It's so bland, not even generic. Also, I went behind the venue to the tour buses, mostly to tell the Lamb of God guitarist I loved his Charvel, and the Municipal Waste singer had the ugliest girls I saw at the concert.

I couldn't hear Alexi at all. I was maybe ten yards away from Henkka until the moshing pushed me towards the other side of the stage. I didn't hear any of his solos, only some power chords. I could hear Roope slightly better, he brought it tonight. He looks like a drunk homeless man with no facial hair, though. I could hear Janne really well, he was pretty damn awesome.

I thought it was just the venue that made the guitar solos inaudible, but then I could hear As I Lay Dying very well. I'm not a fan, but they put on a hell of a show.

Lamb of God was really good on some of their better songs. Their lead guitarist had too much gain until he switched to a Charvel, which was a thing of beauty. It only strengthened my GAS for one of the new Charvels.

[the memory]

who from lamb of god uses a charvel?

i thought they used jacksons and esps?

both times ive seen bodom, the sound was pretty good, not the best, but still audible

[Deplorable]

Sound was not great when I saw Bodom either, but it was still ok, main problem was Alexei's guitar was too low.

Grow some balls. That's all. If you can't enjoy Municipal Waste, then you have no idea what fun is. Fuck's sake. You don't listen to them for neoclassical wankery or breakdowns, you listen to them so you can shout MUNICIPAL WASTE IS GONNA FUCK YOU UP and have some cunting fun.

If the crowd you were in didn't go mental, they're a bunch of dullards. That's all there is to it.

True that, Municipal Waste is all about fun.

[Munchlaxatives]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no one liked them. The crowd was really tame except for the middle of the crowd, which would've moshed to Jonas brothers.

[Shinozoku]

I kinda like Municipal Waste :(

[Munchlaxatives]

What's the deal with God Forbid's guitarists? I could only hear the guy that used 7 strings, but at the other side of the stage, the 8 string guy was playing much more complex rhythm.

[the memory]

SOMEONE FROM GOD FORBID USES AN 8 STRING?
WHAT!? :O

who was it?

[CodySG]

Well, since I know a couple of other people *myself included* share this special date together.

I would like to formally wish Janne a happy happy Birthday!!!!

WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's my 21st O.o...I might return later in the evening babbling because of excessive drinking :eek:!!!

[Shinozoku]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY AN JANNE!!!!

*gay orgy time*

[slayer_rule_\m/]

Wow your area sucks for metal.
MW shows are supposed to be insane.
Meh, kinda reminds me of when i went to see Cob with Cannibal corpse, for CC everyone was moshing and having a great time, CoB, to a lesser extent, they seemed like they just wanted to get the show over and done with.
Also the soundcheckers made Janne sound too quiet, he is one of the best keyboardists i've heard an' all.

[CodySG]

Indeed!

*brings the blankets and condoms...sexi time condoms...*

[the memory]

i presume you've been drinking ;)

happy birthday though!

[CodySG]

IU have npow!!!

2 of the l,imit 3 frozen mixed drinks from Swampy's!!!

Wow... I'm pretty much on top of the world lol! Also got a 6 pack of Saint Arnold Lawnmower with my nbame on it too!!!!

Oh wow...really good B-Day!!! I love all of you guys!!! AND BODOM!!!!!

Saint Arnold Lawnmower.

that is, without a doubt, one of the greatest names for a drink ever lol

The middle/back part of the venue looked like that. For Bodom and LOG, that's what the whole place looked like. The only ones moshing to Municipal Waste was the guys who would've moshed to anything. I didn't think they were any good. Very bland. They didn't get half the crowd reaction God Forbid got.

[the memory]

how were god forbid live?


ive always wanted to see them :(

[bapplebo]

So I'm trying to learn the 2nd Sixpounder solo. Do you guys have any tips for maintaining a constant flowing picking pattern? I'm used to hitting it all triplets at 16th note speed so whenever I try to solo over Sixpounder its way out of time.

[Munchlaxatives]

how were god forbid live?


ive always wanted to see them :(
They were pretty good. The sound guys were pretty bad though, I couldn't hear the singer for the first two songs or so.

[Cobodomhc]

you saw the one in Vancouver?? was it with lamb of god also?

[Pretty in Casts]

Sunday, I'll be seein Bodom for the second time. This time I won't have to drive to another state either. I'm really happy that they aren't playing to much Blooddrunk stuff, Follow the Reaper and Hatebreeder is where it's at.

[Shinozoku]

Use a metronome :p:

[CodySG]

Yeah, that's pretty much all you can do lol!

You have to use a metronome to be able to play anything you want to.

[Alter-Bridge]

Learn the pattern slowly, and speed it up over time.

[vhdude923]

Just play it slowly and try to find the best fingering for it. Once you've done that then try speeding it up.

[DiGiTaLiS]

bodom was pretty good last night in chicago even though alexi did have a broken shoulder

[spaceace12342]

dude i get to see bodom may 15th at myrtle beach.


and i why is Hate Crew Deathroll not on Itunes.

i have every album, including the live albums, and 5 songs from HCDR and i was get the rest of it, and itunes doesnt even have the album.

[Alter-Bridge]

Just look for it in stores? COB aren't that obscure/unknown.

[spaceace12342]

Thats what ill probably end up doing, but i have an itunes card with some money on it. i just figured i'd use it on hatecrew. and of course, thats the only one they dont have

[webbtje]

UK ftw.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2v3szz5.jpg

Suck it.

[Alter-Bridge]

Pogo-stick metal! :haha

[vulcan422]

so who here has really listend to Something Wild? i have all the COB albums but never listend to Something Wild, how is it?

[Alter-Bridge]

Something Wild is fantastic.

[vulcan422]

Something Wild is fantastic.
alright kewl, il listin to it. thanks :)

[ZylitoL]

Anyone know if the 08 "reissue" of Hatebreeder is remastered?

I will get it if that means I can actually hear Jaska working his feet as opposed to hearing soft thuds that lack balls.

[spaceace12342]

UK ftw.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2v3szz5.jpg

Suck it.


lol lucky.

why is angels dont kill cheaper?

[the memory]

i really wish i could get the non re-issue albums

i know its really picky, but they dont fit properly on my shelf with my other cds :S
lol

[CodySG]

I'm starting to finish the vinyl.

Me likey vinyl meetal albums :D :D :D! Also I need to get SW with the alt. logo...

[YourDad]

I saw them last Friday. Alexi was playing with a broken shoulder. He still managed to make it an AMAZING show.

[Head-Shot]

I'll going to see bodom this Friday with lamb of god and as i lay dying

Should be a sick ass show

Anybody have any idea what they might play?

[I<3Hobos]

I'll going to see bodom this Friday with lamb of god and as i lay dying

I was at that show!

They played three songs and couldn't play any longer due to Alexi having the broken shoulder. I was kinda mad, I just wanted to hear "Are You Dead Yet".

[Munchlaxatives]

I wonder when he broke his shoulder, I don't think he had a problem in Houston on the 24th. Of course, I didn't understand a damn thing he said :(

[CodySG]

Alexi, and really everyone else in the band need to start taking care of themselves :(

I think they're all just going waaay to hard, and I hate to say it but I really don't see them lasting all that much longer on the road if they don't start thinking before they leap lol!

[I<3Hobos]

I wonder when he broke his shoulder, I don't think he had a problem in Houston on the 24th. Of course, I didn't understand a damn thing he said :(
He said he fell from his top bunk in their tour bus. He also had internal bleeding with the broken shoulder.

[MetalMusicianAl]

man i was at the concert last night. i was mostly there to see bodom and after 3 songs he just got really angry and tossed his guitar to the floor. i felt pretty sad, but i understood since i'm a guitar player and if i'm injured and i dont want to risk further injury. the rest of the gig was insane though.

[Head-Shot]

Even tho bodom only played 3 songs it was still an amazing show. I was definitely pissed off they didn't play more. I almost pissed myself when I saw alexi in person for the first time last night. That guy is like my idol. After that I tried getting as close to the stage as possible. And finally got 1st row during lamb of god. Best night of my life :)

I just hope they come to NY/NJ next year

BTW does anyone know if COB are going to keep playing anyway?

[CodySG]

What do you mean keep playing? Like...for the tour? Or just in general?

If it's for the tour, I haven't any idea...but in general, I don't see why they wouldn't.

[I<3Hobos]

Yea, As I Lay Dying was pretty killer, I know a couple songs by them so it was cool. And Lamb of God just set the place off! I mean I really don't like a lot of their new stuff, but when they played their songs that aren't new it was awesome. It was definitely worth traveling from the middle of Connecticut to New York. And I got to go on a train and a subway for the first time.


And times square.

Though I think I got Swine Flu from it, but I don't really care. :haha

[spaceace12342]

damn dude, im goin to see them this friday, and it would suck prettyyyy bad if they dont play. since i'm pretty much only goin to see them.

[Shinozoku]

I gotta say, Alexi is a badass for trying to continue touring with a broken shoulder.

Also, he should really stay on the bottom bunks from now on :p:

[spaceace12342]

CoB is done for the tour. Because they aren't listed on with the bands on the house of blues website and ticketmaster. It's kinda gay, but i understand, plus, i still get to see Lamb of God and God Forbid.

[CodySG]

Yeah, they pulled out.

Honestly, they should have pulled out when it happened...it's not worth trying to fight through something you can't fight through...it's better to know when to quit and go home and recovery.

[ScalyGuitarrist]

hey, it's all part of being metal :haha

/stereotype :haha

[CodySG]

I understand it's a joke, but still...I'm sure there are a lot of people pissed.

To those, I say this...

Would you rather see a probably ****ty show *seeing as Alexi was in a **** ton of pain* once and risk something bad really happening to cause majore problems down the road, or have them pull out and see them ten more times after?

[kenan6346]

I've just kinda realised that Alexi has piss weak excuses for his injuries, despite how serious they've been. "Oh yeah, I was bowling this one time and I fell", and now he's got "Yeah, I fell out of bed".

But as Scaly said, that's metal for ya :p

[CodySG]

I think it's mainly because, no fault to him, he's just a tiny fragile guy lol!

Either way, I love 'em!

[ScalyGuitarrist]

Would you rather see a probably ****ty show *seeing as Alexi was in a **** ton of pain* once and risk something bad really happening to cause majore problems down the road, or have them pull out and see them ten more times after?

Exactly. I understand people are pissed but c'mon he's human as well. And like you said, it's better for Alexi to have pulled out. Imagine, no more Bodom because he pushed his arm to far... :(

[the memory]

that would be epic fail :(


bit stupid trying to continue the tour with a broken shoulder though, probably made the whole problem worse

[Pretty in Casts]

I saw em right after alexi got his injury, and the show was still amazing. He sounded awesome to, but you could definately tell he was in pain.

the solo for angels dont kill is easy (and everything on the 3 most recent albums), but the first 3 albums are pretty tough. The first 3 albums kick the most recent 3 in the ass though.

It is what happened. If you think "Are You Dead Yet?" or "Blooddrunk" were good records, you're suffering delusions.

[Monolith295]

I thought they were very nice.

edit: the Young Frankenstein references.

I like AYDY? But Blooddrunk is beyond horrible.

[Shinozoku]

I actually am in love with Blooddrunk, and don't care for but a few songs on AYDY. But I'm not gonna say it's a ****ty record.

Opinions =/= facts.

[Lappo]

'Good' and 'bad' are objective; 'like' and 'dislike' are subjective. You can like it all you want, but it still remains 'terrible' (that's below 'bad'). As long as you acknowledge that, we's all good.

[Shinozoku]

I admit that the guitars are a tad muddy, and Janne doesn't have as big a part in the music anymore. They've drifted away from the neoclassical wankery they're known for and the songs a bit simpler and more downtuned than they used to be.

But it's not bad by any means. I think most of the songs on the album are catchy and good. In fact, I may listen to some of them right now :D

[Monolith295]

'Good' and 'bad' are objective; 'like' and 'dislike' are subjective. You can like it all you want, but it still remains 'terrible' (that's below 'bad'). As long as you acknowledge that, we's all good.
So you're saying "your opinion is an opinion but mine is a fact"?

[Lappo]

No, I'm saying that 'good' or 'bad' is not for one person to decide; it is a consensus reached by many educated, objective listeners.

Each individual is free to like or dislike anything he pleases.

Example ('good' + 'dislike')- A band is generally regarded by most as fantastic, or at least very good, but it doesn't quite click with you, you don't really like it; you understand why others like it, but it's just not your cup of tea. You respect but don't have it in your collection or listen to it. What would be wrong here is to deem it as 'bad' because you, personally, dislike it.

Example2 ('bad' + 'like')- Something is very clearly amateurish, full of faults, and all-around very lackluster; most say it's simply 'bad'. To you, however, there is this hidden appeal within it that just makes you love it. You acknowledge that it's music with little integrity or substance, but you listen to it anyway for whatever kick it brings you; otherwise known as a 'guilty pleasure', I suppose.

Hopefully this makes sense?

The other two combinations don't really require explanation.

[Monolith295]

Oooohh. I get what you're sayin.

[Shinozoku]

Actually, it's more of a case of "It could have been better, but it certainly could have been a lot worse". I'm a die-hard fan of In Flames as well, and I'm able to admit that ASOP was pure, utter sh1t. They are an example of a band that has drifted away from their roots. Bodom has drifted some, but Alexi and the guys know what they like and what they wanna play. Plus, they still sound like Bodom (which is more than I can say for In Flames).

However, I still love In Flames and listen to everything up to Come Clarity. I love Bodom, and I listen to everything from their Inearthed days up to Blooddrunk. Nothing about them has made me want to gouge my ears out yet.

[Reds3031]

I've always been curious to hear the Inearthed demos. Are they just poor quality versions of songs off of Something Wild, or is it something I will have never heard before?

[CodySG]

Your whole logic is flawed.

By that thinking, since Bodom has grown in popularity, they are 'good' now more than ever.

You don't like Bodom, that's your OPINION and not fact.

Deal with it.

*Btw, I loved the Frank refrences lol*

[Nafon]

This is why I formulate my opinion on a band before I go on any sort of forum and read opinions of them.

[CodySG]

Yeah, no matter what band there will always be someone that loves 'em, and someone that hates 'em.

[Lappo]

Your whole logic is flawed.

*Btw, I loved the Frank refrences lol*

Popularity among people who can't tell crap apart from not-crap is irrelevant, though.

Generally, the more popular music gets among the general public, particularly teens, the more likely it is to be awful. And before someone starts name dropping Beatles, Pink Floyd, etcetcetc, yeah there's a number of exceptions, which is why I said 'generally'.

Like I said before, judgement by educated, objective listeners serves as a good measure of quality.



I like Something Wild, Hatebreeder, and Follow the Reaper; Hate Crew Deathroll is pretty OK, too. I don't like the last two efforts. This happens to match up with the general consensus of the quality of CoB's albums, because, I, too, happen to be an educated, objective listener.

[CodySG]

But it's not irrelevant.

Just because you put yourself in the "elite" metal music connoisseur group above the lowly average listener doesn't make your opinion any more valid than someone elses.

People either like something, or they don't. Period. Whether a super awesome amazing knoweverything metal4lyfer suggests it or a random dude that doesn't know **** about metal. The band stays the same no matter who recommends them.

Your opinion is that you don't think the last two CD's from Children of Bodom are good, and that's fine...but no matter how you weave it, it's still your opinion which is in no way, shape, or form anywhere near a fact.

[Head-Shot]

Generally, the more popular music gets among the general public, particularly teens, the more likely it is to be awful.

No

Just no :rolleyes:

[Lappo]

Treading on semantics here. A 'fact' is something like a date, or data, etc., yes.

Something can be 'objective' without being a fact. The collective opinion of educated, objective listeners is an objective gauge of the quality of a band or album. And that's what I'm arguing here, 'objective' vs. 'subjective', where 'good'/'bad' is the former and 'like'/'dislike' is the latter.

It is the objective collective opinion of people that listen to a wide spectrum of metal that CoB's last two albums are not good.

You keep trying to spin it such that this is my opinion only, and therefore subjective; if you read the rest of this post, it's clear that it's not merely my opinion.

[CodySG]

But that's it though...it's NOT the collective, objective opinion.

There are just as many people that like the new stuff as there are those that don't.

And again, your opinion of who has enough calibre to be put into the "Educated, objective listener" is just that...your opinion.

I know plenty of people that listen to all kinds of metal and love CoB's new stuff, I know some that don't. There IS no massive group of "educated, objective listener" that hate the new stuff...therefore, while you do share it with many others, it is YOUR opinion.

[Lappo]

Well, I'm out. Arguing with fanboys is sorta futile, and I have something lame (yet somehow more worthwhile than this) to do.

[wintee_madness]

Shino put it this way if they release something as good as Follow the Reaper on their next album I will be happy and probably give them more of my time.

[CodySG]

Well, I'm out. Arguing with fanboys is sorta futile, and I have something lame (yet somehow more worthwhile than this) to do.

:haha

Guess you don't come around here often...believe me, I love Bodom, but I'm not some goofy fanboy ;)

Byebye now! have fun doing whatever

:wavey:

I've always been curious to hear the Inearthed demos. Are they just poor quality versions of songs off of Something Wild, or is it something I will have never heard before?
A bit of both. Towards Dead End was actually an Inearthed song, just on acoustic.

Also, :haha to the jackass that doesn't know us here.

[vulcan422]

Something Wild = Amazing but short
Hatbreeder = Perfect Masterpiece
Follow The Reaper = Perfect Masterpiece
Hate Crew Deathroll = Amazing and heavy as hell
Are You Dead Yet? = Amazing but not heavy enough
Blooddrunk = Amazing with a bit of everything and not enough solos

dissagre?

[kenan6346]

I've always been curious to hear the Inearthed demos. Are they just poor quality versions of songs off of Something Wild, or is it something I will have never heard before?

I don't know if my demos are just **** quality, but their first demo is the only one that has decent-ish sound quality. But all the songs on those demos are pretty good ****, I like 'em.

[Pretty in Casts]

It is what happened. If you think "Are You Dead Yet?" or "Blooddrunk" were good records, you're suffering delusions.

I love AYDY, of course it's nothing compared to Hatebreeder or Something Wild, but bloodrunk is completely worthless in my opinion.

[webbtje]

Are You Dead Yet? = Glaringly shit
Blooddrunk = Dull and uninspired

dissagre?

You did this in the Metallica thread, didn't you. I corrected the glaringly obvious mistakes, because everyone knows my opinion is correct.

[Shinozoku]

You did this in the Metallica thread, didn't you. I corrected the glaringly obvious mistakes, because everyone knows my opinion is correct.
I respect, your right to a different opinion, but I defy the opinion itself :p:

In the rest of the metal forum you may get your way, but me and Cody are the big guys in this thread :satan:

Also, :haha

[CodySG]

He does have that cool cat as an avatar though...

:haha

I like what I like, others like what they like...as long as they don't question my opinion as lesser than theirs, we have no problems :)

*touches penis*

[BassistsDoItLow]

I personally love CoB. one of the best bands even, the keyboard do sound a bit funky on occasion but most times it is blended into the songs very well. Alexi is the most amazing guitarist this genre of music in a very long time. Simply put they are bad asses. i really dont like when people hate on them, they arrent bad at all. they turned me on to metal all together. first it was bodom, then JFAC, white chapel, in flames, and so on from there.

[Vittu0666]

Anything new with Bodom? Been out of the loop for a while because my computer had a virus. I'm back now.

[CodySG]

Anything new with Bodom? Been out of the loop for a while because my computer had a virus. I'm back now.

FUCK YOU!!!

But yeah, nothing really...went on tour, alexi got thrown from his beddybyetime and broke some more bones and upset his insides up, tried to continue tour, couldn't, so everyone died.

THE END!

...

But yeah, they had to pull out of the LoG tour because Alexi wasn't able to play live.

[Shinozoku]

Fvcker won't stop breaking bones that are essential to guitar playing.. like his toe...

[Waterboy799]

Fvcker won't stop breaking bones that are essential to guitar playing.. like his toe...

he has broken that hasn't he? on the caos ridden years dvd he's wearing a cast on his foot.

my friend actually went to see COB live and he told me that Alexi busted his shoulder and he couldn't play more than 3 songs.

too bad...he apparently didn't drink his milk as a child.

[CodySG]

For real...

Yeah, he's broken his toe lol. Pretty sure he's broken his arm, wrist, toe, and shoulder...twice...and probably others, but that's all off the top of my head.

[Vittu0666]

Fvcker won't stop breaking bones that are essential to guitar playing.. like his toe...
Wow. Awesome. Lol. Hopefully he heals quickly!

And I love you too, Cody. :cheers:

So the comp went computarded? Was it Virtumundo? I got that on my computer a while ago...never really recovered :( I hate viruses...you download a few gigs worth porn illegally off of the internet and they get ya ever single time..

Lol. Same thing happened to me. I did a system restore. I'm constantly putting my library on DVD's as backups.

[CodySG]

I need to do that...

That computer is basically gone now anyway, using this fancy new laptop thing now.

Either way...virus makers need to get a life...or go get laid...but probably both...

[Vittu0666]

I need to re-subscribe to my anti-virus. I think I did pretty good for not having an anti-virus for the past year...

A couple of ribs...

[CodySG]

Yeah, I was thinking that...but I couldn't remember for sure.

Either way...boy definitely needs some calcium in his body :haha!

[the memory]

i always wondered what that was on his foot in chaos ridden years

in the bonus features he wraps his shoe in tape though?

[valdean]

I think it was his toe, yeah.
I don't know why he wrapped his shoe in tape though, and I'm pretty sure that he was on morphine during the show, because he jumped around a bit, and that's gonna hurt with a broken toe.

[Pernell]

Intravenous Drug Use...HUZZAH!!!

[Shinozoku]

That might explain why he's so damn sloppy :p:

[kirkwannabe]

Alexi is one of the funniest people I've ever seen, and a damn good guitarist.

[srob7001]

The tape is there so he can hit his power ranger poses without slipping

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3534/3253222840_21a09b91ce.jpg

Either that or he is a skateboader and he's been doing to many kick flips and his shoes are worn out.

Yeah...we had a loyal cult for a bit there, but then a couple got banned, and then some just kind of left and then max fell off the face of the earth so no more uber amounts of pics to be posted.

Was it just the show I was at, or does Alexi usually solo next to Janne? Janne was in the back of the stage, further back than even the drum kit.

[CodySG]

well here it goes! :)

Never heard of hatbreeder...breeder of hats?

And yes, he usually solos by Janne or somewhat close to him.

[vulcan422]

ya he always does that.................they didint kiss, did they?

And Jack :D

Thinking Max (I am thinking of Delanoir, right?) might have gone through with his threats... he should have sent me his ESP :sad:

[CodySG]

Si! Jack attack!

Yeah, Delanoir is Max. I highly doubt it, but who knows... I hope not at least.

Pretty sure he just moved on from UG, at least for the time being.

[the memory]

wait, what the hell happened to him? (delanoir)

[CodySG]

He just stopped posting on UG.

He was on about a month ago, but like...he deleted all his profile pics and stuff and just stopped coming on.

[Vittu0666]

And Jack :D

Thinking Max (I am thinking of Delanoir, right?) might have gone through with his threats... he should have sent me his ESP :sad:
Oh wow. Really? I didn't know any of this was going on. I was going through my "I think I'm listening to too much Bodom/anything related to Alexi" phase, so i didn't post.

[CodySG]

WooT!!!

Bodom is going to be on GH5! I've never really played any of the GH, and don't own any of them *not to be an ass, but I think they're kind of a joke :( plus I only like maybe 2-3 songs off any of the titles* but...I might just have to pick this one up.

I've been debating on GHM since that might be something cool, at least to me.

For some reason I just have a feeling it'll be Smile Pretty for the Devil...dunno why...I just think it might fit. I love that song anyway, but honestly...any Bodom song would be cool lol! I'm sure it'll be something from AYDY? or BD though.

[wh0racLe]

this band is mediocre at best.

[CodySG]

Reasons for that thought?

[james2112]

Alexi has an awesome sense of melody.

[Twist of fate]

I sent my friend Follow the Reaper and she said she hates screamo....

[CodySG]

Then take the CD back from her, and tell her to never listen to or speak about Bodom again.

People like that do not deserve to listen to the über awesomez that is Children of Bodom....

[Twist of fate]

Exactly, how ignorant can someone get? I showed her a screamo vid. FTR sounds absolutely nothing like screamo. I even had to send wikipedia articles on both of them.

[CodySG]

Meh, some people just don't get music lol!

Just be happy she's not one of those, "Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Classical" people...they seem to manage to classify every single band and style of music into those five...which, is some what correct, as those are pretty much the root of all music, but still...

So which is their easiest/hardest album too play?

What would be the order starting with the easiest albums and the last album being the hardest?

[CodySG]

They're all different.

It's which is harder for YOU to play, everyone is different...some can play stuff different things easier than others.

There is no right answer, it all comes down to what kind of guitar player you are.

But, at the end of the day, if you have the skill, drive, and dedication, you can nail anything by Bodom.

[LordWorm420]

I used to be obsessed with CoB.

Now they bore me...

[CodySG]

That's nice.

[srob7001]

COB is never boring.

All there songs are sooooo fun to play and listen to.

[dan ramP]

So which is their easiest/hardest album too play?

What would be the order starting with the easiest albums and the last album being the hardest?

i find their earlier albums harder to, but thats not to say their last 3 albums are easy, try a few songs from each out. Bed of Razors is one of their easiest songs i think, and a great one at that.

[CodySG]

So...how 'bout that band Children of Bodom?

Anyone else getting tired of Alexi getting more sig bs?

I mean, no offense, but his tone really isn't THAT godly, nor is it very hard to obtain...

He has a billion zillion sig guitars, new sig EMG's, and I'm sure we'll be seeing more stuff in the new future.

Ah well...I still love him.

[chrisg7]

anyone else think bodoms been going downhill since hcdr?

[The Kreator]

I've never liked this band. They never really "hit" me like most bands do. They seem kinda pointless IMO.

[chrisg7]

I've never liked this band. They never really "hit" me like most bands do. They seem kinda pointless IMO.

what stuff have you heard from them?

[The Kreator]

I've heard Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper, and a bit off Are You Dead Yet?

none of it has really clicked. Seems like generic melodeath with mediocre, yet fast, solos.

[Shredx]

Check out Hate crew death roll aswell.

anyway, did anyone else hear they might release a covers CD this year, or did i imagine it?

[CodySG]

They've changed, haven't gone downhill though.

check out hatebreeder and something wild. and ^^ ignore

[CodySG]

Just listen to SW, and yeah...ignore the troll.

[The Kreator]

I dunno. I just don't like them.

And their fan base doesn't help much (not you guys, the other people who are like ZOMG COB ALEXI OMG)

[CodySG]

Yeah...I've really, really, REALLY, grown to pretty much despise with a passion all the little **** twits lined up to suck Alexi ding dong.

Oh well, still like the music so that's what matter to me...though it does make me almost want to NOT go see them live because of all the wankers trolling about :(

[you = fail]

ZOMG ALEXI LAIHO



I like some of there stuff, i havent delved deeper than the top ten on itunes

[CodySG]

I usually tell people to start with FtR, if they like it move to HB and then SW, if they don't like FtR, I say HCDR and if they like that then AYDY? and BD.

If they don't like any, I'll suggest Synergy lol!

[Oddsbodkins]

Wow, I just got Tokyo Warhearts, and I have to say I'm very impressed by Alexander's playing. He plays his parts better than Alexi plays his, though obviously Alexi does more technical stuff.

[CodySG]

Yeah, Alexander was a force in Bodom that's for sure...

I like Roope, but I still think it's a shame he left :(

[Head-Shot]

They're all different.

Well how about generally speaking or overall?

[vulcan422]

Well how about generally speaking or overall?

lol, id say Follow The Reaper is the hardest album because of the insane solos, Kissing The Shadows = Impossible.

The easiest is probably Are You Dead Yet? its still pretty hard but they cooled down on solos on that album

[CodySG]

Again...everyone is different...

I had more trouble with AYDY? stuff than I did with FtR stuff, just different strokes...

What Bodom song(s) do you want to play? Pick a couple you like, and just stick with it.

There really isn't going to be one that's just stupid easy so you might as well pick the one you WANT to learn and just go at it like a rabid animal.

[COBHC74]

I used to be obsessed with CoB.

Now they bore me...

They don't bore me, but I don't listen to them too much now.

[ZylitoL]

Lovely news.

1. They played Kissing the Shadows live @ Rock Hard Fest.
2. They're coming to Toronto for a show with Skeletonwitch as support. The main support is TBDM whom I hate but Skeletonwitch + Bodom + Saturday night = win. I don't know if this is part of a NA or a CDN tour or not but whatever.

Weee.

They better pass by Montreal too. I want to see COB and TBDM live again.

[Vittu0666]

So I was in Best Buy today and looked at the tracks for the Something Wild they have. They have the original demo of the song Children of Bodom. Mine doesn't have that! Gotta grab it.

[LordWorm420]

hmm you mean from the split with Wizzard and Cryhavoc?

[stratdud39]

They don't bore me, but I don't listen to them too much now.

same here
They've gotta get they're act together...i couldn't stand blooddrunk.
I think if they're next album was filled with lower death growling then they would catch my interest again.

[SeveredSurvival]

They better pass by Montreal too. I want to see COB and TBDM live again.

I might be seeing you there. :cheers:

[FryingNemo]

Hey guys, Bodom does lots of strange covers, right? Name one non-metal song you could see Bodom doing.

Personally, I think a Bodom cover of Who Let The Dogs Out would be hilarious.

I don't get why people are paying out their most recent albums, because even though they may be a bit different from their older albums, they're really good in their own right. If COB just made Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper albums over and over, it'd get pretty boring for not only us, but them: consider the fact that they've been playing the same songs from those albums non-stop for every tour they've done since the albums came out. It'd become a real drag for the after a while, don't you think?

I only have a select list of songs that I like from each album, and that is the same with AYDY and Blooddrunk (however, I should add that I like more songs off BD than any other album). IMO, FTR and HCDR were two of their weaker albums: although there were some real shiners on both, there were also a great number of filler songs on both albums.

Just my two cents.

Main reason people are complaining is because they changed their style instead of trying to keep the same style but new work.

I mean, in my opinion, sw, hb, and ftr, all sound more or less in the same vein, but all are unique in their own right.

You don't have to play the same stuff over and over again, you just have to be creative in the same style of music.

I might be seeing you there. :cheers:
Awesome. :cheers:
Do you know if the tickets are on sale yet?

[ieatu]

I dunno. I just don't like them.

And their fan base doesn't help much (not you guys, the other people who are like ZOMG COB ALEXI OMG)

So you dislike a group because of their fanbase? :) Not a good reason not to like them, remember? You were busting my balls about it in the DC thread. :D

soo. children of bodoms new album of covers, skeletons in the closet, i heard the end of this year it will come out?

[Magero]

Not much point.
Pretty sure 95% of the track listing has already been released in one form or another over the years.

[webbtje]

And it will be guaranteed bullcrap.

[the memory]

a covers album? oh good god. you can't be serious!

[kenan6346]

And it will be guaranteed bullcrap.

Unless you have the ability to see into the future, I wouldn't make that call yet.

Judge it when it comes out: it could be really good or really bad. Also, it could be full of new recorded covers or old recorded ones, or a mix of both.

[CodySG]

I hope it's got more new covers than old.

Sadly, it probably will just be all the single covers and what not thrown together :(

[DragTheWaters11]

I really am not liking an all cover album... I never really liked the CoB covers.

[CodySG]

I like 'em, because they're usually something a metalband wouldn't do lol.

I always just like to hear 'em, whether they're knock you down good or not.

[metaguitar]

its ganna be new one and old ones, in my oppinion they should (if they must make some kind of a pointless album) do a digital remastered version of ftr, that would be sick
