Only Children of Bodom Thread.

[Shinozoku]

It's gonna be all the old ones (as far as I know), with I think maybe 2 new ones (not yet released)?

[Shredx]

I think if i recall they were mostly old.

But I want it just for the Briteny cover :)

[Duhjlimos]

Alexi Laiho is amazing and I actually love his vocal style.
Bodom ftw!!!

[Natasha Bodom]

Is there really going to be a Blooddrunk Tour?
What other bands will be featured?

[SeveredSurvival]

SKELETONWTICH!!!! :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :headbang:
Oh and Black Dahlia Murder.

[ZylitoL]

Skeletonwitch!!!

**** yeah

[Shinozoku]

Two of the most goddamn epic bands EVER are touring together :D


With TBDM... Oh well, you gotta have SOME kinda bathroom break :D

[CodySG]

PSsshh!!1

TBDM are teh awesome. Plus they put on a cool show.

Sadly...they are not coming anywhere near where I am located :(

Oh well...le sigh...

[SeveredSurvival]

Skeletonwitch pwn.

[Natasha Bodom]

Skeletonwitch!!!

**** yeah


Woo Skeletonwitch :D

Oh and to the venue I'm going to, in San Francisco, it says it's featuring Skeletonwitch and Austrian Death Machine.

[SynGates7X]

Long time no see Bodomites.

[Shinozoku]

Syn's Back!!! :d

[CodySG]

Sup G?

Still Bodoming over here.

[SynGates7X]

Yeah, I just saw that Bodom would be playing over here in September so I decided to stop back. Although I've never even heard of their supporting bands before.

[Shinozoku]

Yeah, I just saw that Bodom would be playing over here in September so I decided to stop back. Although I've never even heard of their supporting bands before.
Go listen to Skeletonwitch NAO!!!

[SynGates7X]

Eh, I'll get around to it at some point. I haven't even listened to Bodom in a while for matter.

[Vittu0666]

Wow. Never thought I'd have to do this, but...
Bump.

Yeah, a bump in the Bodom thread.

[Shinozoku]

:eek: :wtf:

Where you all at?!

[Alter-Bridge]

Wow. Never thought I'd have to do this, but...
Bump.

Yeah, a bump in the Bodom thread.
That's what happens when Delanoir isn't here.

[Vittu0666]

Eh...I've been away for a while. Had another little virus on my computer...I should really get my subscription back up for my antivirus. My computer wouldn't save my passwords, and I never remember my UG password.

[Shinozoku]

Get AVG man :p: That's what I use atm.

Good idea!

[CodySG]

Chicken soda lollipop!

So, any new Bodom news? I listened to Hatebreeder front to back couple of nights ago...was amazing.

[Shinozoku]

Nope, no news whatsoever. Other than the fact that for a couple of months Roope has been using ENGL cabs.

Also, I'm working on getting closer to a good Bodom-esque tone (for the sake of covers) out of my amp's SL+ module. I have some Sovtek 5881's in the power section atm (blending with JJ 6L6.. very intersting, but the latter smooths the tone out too much for Bodom), and when running at 50 watts and cranking the power section I can get DAMN close :D I'm mostly trying bastardized hybrids of Alexi's Lee Jackson and Marshall settings, and using the Density control on my amp to simulate the "more bass" output he uses on the LJ, and I bring the presence up a bit to add the extra brightness needed.

[CodySG]

My VHT has always been able to pull out some Bodom tones pretty easy.

I've kind of stopped looking to cover tones though, I just like to find stuff that sounds good and run with it :D!

Should have my herbie in a few days, can't wait to get my grubby little hands on that beast :llama:

[Shinozoku]

Salvation Mods is almost done with their Diezel mod :p: They have a crunch clip of it up, and it sounds awesome. They're working on a high gain clip for it and should have the update/thread on the MTS forum in a matter of days.

Apparently my vid will be loaded on youtube in 2 hours o.o

Did some random jamming, found a clip that sounded best (which I initially though sounded crappy). You get some breakup from the mic being hit too hard (these are bedroom volumes for the amp :p: ), but that's to be expected of a lapel mic.

Also, you better put up a NAD! :mad:

[CodySG]

You should get the Viper mod for the Framus Cobra, I thought that one sounded pretty kick ass!

The Randall is a really nifty amp, I really like the idea of all the tweaking and what not and all the different mods, pretty cool machine :D!

I intend to :D I also want an ANGEL module (ENGL), but tweaked a bit. Gonna hopefully get it with the crunch and lead channels of a ENGL Blackmore (very doable), and a voicing switch to take it into Savage territory, along with the ENGL contour switch, and maybe a couple of other things.

Have you heard the Terrier mod? :D

[ohl0lz]

So which is the easiest/hardest bodom album to play?

[Vittu0666]

That's the million dollar question that has been answered millions of times in this thread.

Hopefully going to bust out some Bodom on her tonight :D!

A bit expensive due to rarity of finish and good condition, no doubt :). Not to mention it's not THAT old, and check out the prices of a similar model new!

Wow. That baby is beautiful!

[MorgMetal_666]

Yep guys, that's my Jackson. The bay post is about to end, but i'm all in for partial trades plus cash, and stuff like that. Alexi i know has used a RR1 (customized of course) in this finish, so it's a pretty good find for a COB fanatic. the price is actually quite cheap. i spent the money on the EMGs and having the guitar professional setup to have the EMGs installed. I spent over $2400 on this guy, so it's my loss, someone else's gain.
message me for any questions, i'd be happy to answer them :wavey:

[the memory]

i thought he used a custom shop RR not an RR1?

[MorgMetal_666]

i thought he used a custom shop RR not an RR1?


well yeah, i said RR1 customized, but true it was probably a full custom RR. His looks almost the same as mine, but with one EMG 81 and gold hardware. His guitar as you can see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heVjBCVgGpw&feature=related has solid gold stripes on the wings, whereas mine are pinstripes like Roope's (but gold of course, not white)

Shino, you always give me a hard on. :)

Yup, yellow bevels and gold hardware look very sexy for a Rhoads. Straight up full on custom. I miss seeing that guitar in the music videos.

[MorgMetal_666]

I haven't been a COB fan long enough to know those facts :o

but i could've been more specific :haha:

[the memory]

its still a lovely guitar though ;)

[Vittu0666]

Oh without a doubt at all. I don't think I've ever found an RR1 that I didn't like, honestly. Black with pinstripes/painted bevels are the way to my heart! Lol. I've been thinking about having white pinstripes painted on my Rhoads as well.

[the memory]

i still wouldn't buy a rhoads personally, prefer more strat shaped guitars!

[fretburner214]

how about we talk about how awesome bodom is. heads up for those in california, bodom is playing at the glasshouse in pomona oct 10 and the 11 i believe. the glasshouse isnt that big, so you will be pretty up close and personal.

Dude! Me too! Sept 19th at the starlander ballroom. We gotta meet up bro!
I know it's a small space and it's crowded and dangerous but hey, it's Bodom and it's $20 tickets.

Oh, any tips on surviving this?

[Guitar_Kingdom]

^It's bodom, its not some ultra kvlt black metal concert in a forest
You'll be fine

some bodom fans are TOTAL nutters though :P
lol


listening to tokyo warhearts just now. i'm so glad they seem to have cut out a lot of alexi's talking in between songs. it totally grates away on me during stockholm knockout

[icaneatcatfood]

I've been watching some guitar videos with Alexi. I'm pretty sure every video has comments arguing over John Petrucci and Alexi Laiho. It's pretty funny how srs music is.

His stage banter is just awkward to listen to. Any attempt to quote him here would result in an instant ban. :haha:

its actually embarasing, i can't watch or listen to him when hes talking
especially in his horribly put on american accent :facepalm:

[kenan6346]

So what do youse all think of the Inearthed demo tapes?

[the memory]

i tired to download them...and my internet failed miserably, so i've not heard them.

a friend told me that some of the songs are basically bodom ones in their early forms?

[Vittu0666]

They're actually...different. They have a Bodom feel obviously, but they're still different. I've got all 4 of them on disc.

[leftyace]

the IneartheD stuff is basically what led up to Something Wild. Once they got Janne they were able to really progress musically.

Honestly Bodom has been going downhill very fast. Ever since Alexander left and Alexi hurt his arm bowling they've gone from cool neo-classical influenced metal to poppy stuff thats average at best. I bet that Alexi hurt his playing even more since hurting his arm with that bus incident. He used to be amazing...

[McGelie]

I'm sure the drinking hasn't helped either.

I honestly think it's since the Wildchild was stolen.

[leftyace]

I honestly think it's since the Wildchild was stolen.
It was me, I admit it :D




.... :( No it wasn't. Im suprised that thing hasn't ever shown up yet. Even half of MAB's 4-neck guitar showed up eventually.

[the memory]

I honestly think it's since the Wildchild was stolen.
THIS.

i'm still shocked it has never shown up

[DashBlaster]

That was between FTR and Hatecrew, was it not?

And yeah, they've gone downhill, but there's still some good songs, like In Your Face, Needled, and Sixpounder.

[the memory]

i was just thinking that as i loaded up the thread, was it not just after the release of HCDR?
or just before?

[icaneatcatfood]

I think it was just after.

I don't think the new stuff is terrible, I have a lot of fun listening to it.

[chrisg7]

Yeah I think it happened after they switched from jackson to ESP...

I'm worried that in an album or two cobhc will become cobhXc

[leftyace]

The guitars are so similar there wouldn't be such a big difference. It isn't the guitar, its the guitarist. Alexi hurt himself bowling+ Alexander left the band+ insane amounts of alchohol= COB goes downhill muscially.

[chrisg7]

Yeah but they can still perform the old songs well so it's not like they don't have the talent

[leftyace]

Really? Comparing older live vids to the new ones I think theres a noticeable drop in cleaness. I'm not arguing that he doesn't have talent, I think he's quite a talented guitarist. I just think that his injuries have hurt his ability to perform and record over the years.

[chrisg7]

Yeah I get what your saying man. I did think they were pretty good the last time I saw them live though

[leftyace]

I'm still waiting for them to come close enough to my town for me to go myself. Once i'm able to do that i'll be able to give a firsthand opinion myself.

[kenan6346]

Epic bump...jeez, this thread keeps dying.

Anyway, not really related to CoB, but I'm seeing Megadeth/Slayer in Sydney in Sept., very psyched :D

[fretsofthebeast]

Hatebreeder has to be my fav album.....

i love at least 4\5 of the songs on there

[romencer17]

something wild is like the only album i can still enjoy from these guys...

[Eebs]

CoB rules, but I can't help but think how much Alexi Laiho has fallen into the "I've got to be the FACE of CoB" trap. Man, we KNOW you're the frontman, quit spinning your guitar around your neck on stage, and focus on the beautiful guitar work you've always had!

[romencer17]

I think the last straw for me was when Laiho said he was 'a punk rocker'.
And if you watch any new interviews.. still all they talk about is drinking.

I really feel like these guys try too hard to be badass and stuff. I dunno, maybe Laiho just wants to be a rockstar so bad.

[Guitar_Kingdom]

His lyrics are also horribly bad

[romencer17]

It's strange to think that just two years ago I thought CoB were the greatest, and that Laiho was the greatest guitarist ever. Now I look at em, and all i can think is 'meh'.

[MoogleRancha]

"Blooddrunk - Wasted again
All the pain inside will fade
Blooddrunk - You call me insane
Degenerate bloodrunk with a razor blade"

[CodySG]

It's strange to think that just two years ago I thought CoB were the greatest, and that Laiho was the greatest guitarist ever. Now I look at em, and all i can think is 'meh'.

I'm sorry you feel that way...

Children of Bodom has, is, and probably always will be my favorite band. I can connect with the music on a very personal level, and no matter what happens... No matter what they end up becoming, that's something I'll always have.

I'll always have the music.

To those that think cob sucks, or used to like them and don't anymore... Honestly, I say that's fine.

It's one less fan cob has that they don't need.

I don't "obsses" over them, I really don't keep up with the personl stuff. I love the music, and if you don't get it anymore... That's fine.

I do.

[DashBlaster]

Inspiring speech, Cody.

That was sarcasm, right?

[Guitar_Kingdom]

^I hope so :haha:

[DashBlaster]

:haha

I'm not sure to be honest. :p:

[Shinozoku]

Actually, I thought it was pretty damn fine myself :p:

Because of Alexi I:

Can't scoop my mids.

Only use enough gain to get my sound aggressive.

Don't use so much bass that you can no longer hear the bassist in the mix.

Use inverted power chords and lots of major and minor third intervals to add texture to my music.

Love the RR shape and find difficulty playing other shapes.

Use Dunlop Tortex Jazz picks (he uses the nylons, but he introduced me).

Am trying DR strings for the second time (first when I actually knew about tone and feel and whatnot.. the A string is a dud though I think cuz it buzzes like a mofo :haha)

What has Alexi and Children of Bodom done to change/improve your life? :)



EDIT: Due to the epic failure in the past few pages (40ppp) of this thread, I'm gonna listen to Bodom.

Well a lot of this depends on the circumstance, for instance, I scoop mids when I'm playing brutal death metal, I raise mids when I'm playing black metal. Same with the gain, depends on what you're playing. A lot of this also sounds fan-boyish (no offense, man) especially doing things Alexi does... (certain chords, picks, strings, etc.)

[romencer17]

yeah man, it's not cool to be someone's fanboy like that!


*goes to fellate over Jon Levasseur*

[Shinozoku]

I lower mids some for more brutal forms of metal, but I still have them higher than my bass. And I do raise gain a tad too.

The chords: I think they sound awesome, and it's better than just doing the same ol power chords which I was doing before. It opened me up to new chord shapes and therefore added depth to my musical knowledge.

Picks: I was curious as to how the Jazz III's would improve my playing, as they're marketed towards that. John Petrucci uses them too, as do the guys from Trivium (a band I was into at the time and still listen to on occasion). After trying them, I found I preferred them over regular picks. I still switch back and forth from time to time, as I find I improve more when I do so.

Strings: I needed new strings and figured "Why the hell not? Lots of people use them, they're supposed be be great (and taste good too :p: )", so I tried them. The low E had an odd phasing sound to it and of course, the A string. But I'm gonna stick to my Dean Markleys.

Guitar shape: I always thought it was cool, and I wanted a better guitar, and I loved the looks and features of the Arrowhead I ultimately bought. I do want a neck pickup now, but I love the shape and it does put me in the proper classical position when playing and sitting down. Has decent balance too.

[Vittu0666]

I think I'd have to give Alexi the credit for my infatuation with the Rhoads shape, mainly because of watching Sinergy live with Roope. I still pop in the old stuff sometimes and still love it all, I just don't follow anything new with them. I can't even get into the new Warmen stuff! Failed Alexi Fan = Me.

[JRex]

We all love old COB more so than the new stuff but they still are awesome.
I finally got around to listening to Blood Drunk last week.
While it was nothing like the earlier material that I love so much, it still had SOME cool parts to it. I guess it is inevitable for a band to change their sound/style eventually.

And I am pretty excited about finally getting to see the COB gentlemen live on the 19th!

[Trickle7052]

F*** You Cob Haters

[Vittu0666]

F*** You Cob Haters
This has also made me phase away from Bodom, or at least going to the COB shows. Most of the fans really suck. It's really funny because my old guitarist and his girlfriend went to see them in concert. They met some guy there who apparently thought that Are You Dead Yet? was their first album. When my friend said that he had been a huge fan since Follow the Reaper and that he loved Inearthed, the other guy said that my friend was a total noob to COB and didn't know what he was talking about.

[the memory]

F*** You Cob Haters
:facepalm:

+1 to the majority of fans sucking
the same applies to most bands though in my experience haha

[Guitar_Kingdom]

F*** You Cob Haters
Yes, indeed COB fan boys are the worst (along with Metallica fan boys). I bet this guy thinks COB is the "best death metal band ever" :haha:

[DashBlaster]

Yes, indeed COB fan boys are the worst (along with Metallica fan boys). I bet this guy thinks COB is the "best death metal band ever" :haha:

I'm actually not looking forward to the Metallica concert because of all the shallow comments I'll hear about Gojira and Lamb Of God. Depressing.


Not to mention, that guy with his "resounding message" really didn't think that there would not be many Bodom haters in this thread, mainly because we come here because we like them. :rolleyes:

[Trickle7052]

Srry about the msg from me early on i had one of my friends back and he decided to mess around with my account so srry 4 all the trouble and no i don't think COB is the best or worst band in death metal i like them a lot but they are overrated :sad:

[romencer17]

no need to cover up your fanboy-ness. :haha:

[CodySG]

Yeah...

The reason I don't try and be a faboi.

I love CoB, absolutely love them... Probably favorite band... I mean, I have a tattoo for Christ sake :haha

Still, do I think they're the best? Not at all.

My favorite? One hundred percent yes.

Opinions and facts are different, just because you love a band doesn't mean they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[romencer17]

Opinions and facts are different, just because you love a band doesn't mean they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.

i wish all the kids who love a7x understood this....

[CodySG]

I do as well :sad:

I know that there are many great bands that are better than the majority of my favorites, and I understand this.

I wish the fan boys would ease up a bit, ANY fan boy... same goes for the girls.

Reason I tend to shy away from public band worship lol!!!

[XDethxsplosionX]

I like them, but their new stuff is kind of boring. The old stuff is just kind of...mushy...too. My favorite song is probably Are You Dead Yet!

[romencer17]

lol yes. i mean, i'm a complete classic era cryptopsy fan boy, but obviously there are bands that have had more influence on metal, and bands that have more technical skill than them (although Flo Mounier is one of the best drummers, in the least)

either way, it's ignorant to say anything is "the best" when referring to music.

[CodySG]

Not going to lie... That's kind of an oxymoron.

AYDY is new music, but! Each their own!

[romencer17]

Not going to lie... That's kind of an oxymoron.

AYDY is new music, but! Each their own!

exactly what i was thinking...

[Pernell]

A rousing bit Follow the Reaper? Some Hate Crew Deathroll? Its just....enjoyable, man. People hate COB and believe me, i can see why..but...goddamn. Some of their shit rocks, man

[XDethxsplosionX]

Not going to lie... That's kind of an oxymoron.

AYDY is new music, but! Each their own!
By 'new' i meant the new album. Sorry for the confusion :) !!

[MetalMusicianAl]

it's wishful thinking,but i hope bodom tour north america again after this upcoming tour. i can't make it to this one cause the one in ny is like upstate =(

[XDethxsplosionX]

...drive?

[MetalMusicianAl]

i don't have a car or a license and a train is out of the question.

[romencer17]

get spiderman to give you a lift!

[CodySG]

get spiderman to give you a lift!

This!

That would be badass though lol!!

[the memory]

hell yeah it would! haha

[kenan6346]

I mean, I have a tattoo for Christ sake :haha

Well ****, what is it?

[Guitar_Kingdom]

I mean, I have a tattoo for Christ sake :haha

I'm not even much of a COB fan (they're alright), but pics or GTFO
now. :D

[XDethxsplosionX]

pics of what?

[Guitar_Kingdom]

^His COB tattoo

[XDethxsplosionX]

Oh. Cool.

[Shinozoku]

Uhm... you all haven't been here long, have you? :p: Cody posted his tat waaay back when he got it like 100 40ppp pages ago.

*Tat*

Thas awesome :D

[Oddsbodkins]

Tattoo

That's pretty feckin sweet.

[CodySG]

Lol!

Thank you :D!

I was kind of freaked out for a second, I thought someone jacked it O.o...but yeah, it means a lot.

The fact that CoB is a band is almost irrelevant, it was just a really big turning point my life when I got that. Almost every little detail has some inside meaning only I get.

[XDethxsplosionX]

can you explain them all?

[CodySG]

Would rather not.

Basically, cutting ties, who I am as a person, and other emotional things.

[kenan6346]

Wow, that's really nice dude, whoever did it is a real wizz at their work. Awesome ;)

[CodySG]

Indeed he was!

Been at it for around 15 years or so, his best work is the darker, macabre...and I mean, this isn't even that bad lol.

He's done a ton of really raunchy crazy detailed stuff. Including a bloodied up quadriplegic O.o...

[spaceace12342]

Lol, I'm feelin the reaper's flops

[XDethxsplosionX]

??

[CodySG]

Took me a second to realize too lol, and I'm the one with the thing O.o...

Thank you very much :D that was one of the things I knew I had to have.

[Shinozoku]

Hai guize! Look what I found!

It has begun again!!!

[Vittu0666]

Just curious, how many pages do you think there is of the "I Am Roope" joke? I didn't post anything during those because i was too busy lol'ing.

[kenan6346]

Good times, I think I spent the whole time lulzing too.

edit: while I'm thinking of it, where the hell did Delnoir go to? I know he left ages ago and I'm sure someone has asked, but I never quite found out.

[CodySG]

Unknown, he was going through personal stuff and I guess bailed on ug.

[kenan6346]

Unknown, he was going through personal stuff and I guess bailed on ug.

Bummer, he posted pretty good pics and that.

[CodySG]

Indeed he did, he was the only one keeping this thread alive for a while.

[kenan6346]

I reckon, it's starting to show: this thread is getting kinda slow without any new material.

[DashBlaster]

Roope sig: Yay, or nay?

I like it, but everybody I've talked to either loves it or thinks it looks dumb, majority saying dumb.

[TheBodomBullet]

I've been out of the CoB loop for a while.

Has there been any mention of if their recording for a new album anytime soon.

Idk, I don't want to call Bloodrunk a letdown but I look forward to another vintage CoB album.

[CodySG]

I think the actual Roope sig is beautiful, the LTD USA one...not so much...

I like the shape and the color, but the fact it's only LTD and those inlays are kind of a turn off to me.

As for a new album, the covers album is coming up, but an actual 'new' album probably not until late next year or year after.

[Shinozoku]

I don't like the color with those inlays. And it needs binding. I'd prefer the actual black one, preferably with either the H2 and boost or the 81 he used for a while. I'd check the one with the Invader out though.

I'd still go for an Edwards Roope sig if they made one :p: Or ESP, if I had the money...

BTW: the American Roope sig is available in ESP form in Japan :mad:
http://www.espguitars.co.jp/artist/roope_latvala/rs-2.jpg

[CodySG]

See that's cool *besides the inlays* but yeah, the real jap ESP black with gold is amazing.

The USA has neck binding, right? If not, yes...needs neck binding, with the grey color I think headstock and body binding might look a little strange.

[Shinozoku]

I think the grey WITHOUT binding looks strange with that same-colored neck :p: The silver bolt-on stars I think look a lot better.
http://www.espguitars.co.jp/original/images/rs_r_ps_.jpg

[the memory]

i prefer the maple fretboard ESP RS, especially in white

the neck on roope's sig looks retardadly thin :|

[Vittu0666]

I don't think the Roope sig looks too bad.

And about Delanoir, if anyone would know, maybe it would be Magero? They did seem kind of close.

[CodySG]

No one knows.

He fell off the planet that is UG, he stopped talking to everyone and just poofed.

[Shinozoku]

I thought he and Magero were actually worst enemies there towards the end =/

The neck just looks that way because of the finish. It's the same Thin U as most of the others.

I like the look of the maple fb on the RS's too, in all the colors actually, but the maple fb pics were being r-tarded.

[CodySG]

I love the maple on the white, wish it was nt through :(

[the memory]

yeah, maple + white = ftw

i nearly bought a charvel star with that. It was only £700 but i decided not to bother :(

[Shinozoku]

Dunno why, but I kinda dig the bolt on more for the RS shape. I'm liking bolt-ons a lot more lately, mostly because of the A-Wedgie neck joint used by Ton Anderson and Framus that I would totally use if I built my own guitars...

[akosiehm]

i like alexi laihos guitar

[icaneatcatfood]

i like alexi laihos 3 hats at the same time routine

[LazyLatinoRocke]

I had a dream last night that Alexi and Janne were in my school and they auditioned for my school's talent show. They both played Bodom After Midnight and then we hung out a bit. Needless to say, it was a pretty badass dream.

[misfitsramones]

what do you think CoB's hardest song is to play on guitar?

[leftyace]

Kissing the Shadows? It's a workout for sure.

[misfitsramones]

yea that solo is pretty intense.
im thinking Sioux City Sarsaparilla, if that counts for a CoB song.. i just no that alexi did th guitar parts, idk who else played in it.

[JohnnyV]

what do you think CoB's hardest song is to play on guitar?
I have no idea...i can't shred, i just appreciate the music.

I'm a big fan of Bodom, i wish i could scrape together some coin and the days off work to see them in Montreal/Quebec this month.

The sounds of Alexi's voice makes it for me. I know a lot of people think he's a weak screamer, but I'd kill to be able to wail like that.

[JRex]

Roope sig model looks neat!
White looks amazing.

[Rocker396]

Saw them in may...AMAZING

[Vittu0666]

what do you think CoB's hardest song is to play on guitar?
Choke hold, Towards Dead End, Children of Bodom, and Mask of Sanity are some pretty insane songs to play on guitar.

[Aleksi]

what do you think CoB's hardest song is to play on guitar?
I'm gonna say Kissing the Shadows, even without the solo it's fairly tough. I'm currently attempting to learn the solo... I don't think I stand a chance though.

[romencer17]

Children of Bodom

what? besides the solo, that was like one of the first metal songs I ever learned to play...

[misfitsramones]

right now im learning follow the reaper, it doesnt seem to be that hard, but ihavent hit the solo yet. that is gunna be hard. playing 16th notes at 194 bpm,... gunna take a lot of practice.

[valdean]

right now im learning follow the reaper, it doesnt seem to be that hard, but ihavent hit the solo yet. that is gunna be hard. playing 16th notes at 194 bpm,... gunna take a lot of practice.

Karl Sanders does 16th's at 256 bpm. :haha
Rhythmic-vise, but still.

Anyways, on topic.
The only CoB I like is their demos when they were called Inearthed.
The stuff as CoB I "grew out of."
Has anyone even heard of Inearthed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePV4IEMk4vs
Good stuff.

I agree with this. I can still enjoy the IneartheD demos, but all the CoB material is kind of meh to me now.

[vulcan422]

any1 else goin to see them at the glass house on oct 10? and does any1 know if they pick out the support bands, caus i bout earplugs to block out the Black Dahlia ******s and the stupid skeletonwitch. i hate deathcore and i wanna know if COB wanted them to support them.


P.S. VIP tickets!

neither of those bands are deathcore.

Have you even actually LISTENED to Skeletonwitch? They're as amazing as Bodom. TBDM is kinda meh though. And btw, learn to spell, and TBDM isn't deathcore.

So much fail in one post. You gotta be trollin' brahski. Skeletonwitch is definitely one of the better metal bands out right now, and will be for a while. The performances are dead on and full of energy, you won't regret seeing them.

[Vittu0666]

what? besides the solo, that was like one of the first metal songs I ever learned to play...
The intro can be a bit of a finger twister to some people.

[Baraga]

Does anyone know if they are ever going to appear in Portugal, or even in Spain? I WANNA SEE MY FAV BAND ON LIVE FFS!

[kenan6346]

Second time I've bumped this thread from the dead in under a month... :(

Does anyone here think that Alexi Laiho looks, sounds and acts just like Jay from the Clerks?

[romencer17]

Does anyone here think that Alexi Laiho looks, sounds and acts just like Jay from the Clerks?

No.

[kenan6346]

No.

I dunno about you, but their similarities are uncanny IMO.

[CodySG]

Kind of...but, yet...at the same time, not really.

I can see it though, they'd probably be friends lol.

[the memory]

he definetly sounds and acts a bit like him

hahahahaha

[SeveredSurvival]

Something Wild, Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll all absolutely own.

[DashBlaster]

Agreed. However, In Your Face is still my favorite song by them.

[CodySG]

I like IYF, but at the same time... It gets old fast to me lol

[Crayonic]

Children of decance is my personal favorite, purely because of the intro, afterwards it's like, average. But the guitar intro, is beautiful.

Ooo, and Trashed, Lost & Strungout, is brilliant all through the song. The whole thing just appeals to me.

And to those who say his voice annoys you, yeah i get where your comming from. I hated it when i first heard it... but it... kinda just... grows on you =D

It's brilliant now, i love his voice.
It's like his vocal cords are having rough sex with my ear drums ^_^
But yeah, some people just aren't into the rough sex-ness of it

[DashBlaster]

Also love Bodom After Midnight and Kissing The Shadows.

^I know what you mean. I like his rugged new style. It's neat, and has a lot of attitude.


You know what I have to say about Bodom though? I'm not a very big fan of Jaska. His style just doesn't make me go "Fuck yeah man, that's so badass." His bass drum tone is pretty nice, but just overall, he seems average.

But I still have an immense respect for that man.

[CodySG]

IMO, Jaska is never going to be one of those drummers that make you say wow.

Even if that may be, Bodom has always been about the guitar and 'boards, so I don't think it really has much impact in Bodoms situation.

[romencer17]

Deadnight Warrior is the greatest.

[CodySG]

Negative.

One of though.

[Oddsbodkins]

Touch Like Angel of Death is my all time Bodom favourite.

On the subject of Jaska's drumming, it's defintely not fancy, but it's solid as a rock and all his fills etc are nicely tasteful IMO. With Alexi and Janne going crazy all the time complicated, intricate drum beats are not needed.

[ESPLTDV401DX]

^ Yeah I like COB but sometimes it just seems like Alexi + Janne... oh and three other guys. It doesn't seem like they give Jaska enough room for his ability to shine.

[CodySG]

IMO, Jaska doesn't have a ton of ability to be shining lol.

He's solid,yes, but to me... He's just not all that great :sad:

[ESPLTDV401DX]

That is true however it just seems like he is just some random guy compared to Alexi. He is fairly quiet in the mix of some songs. I'm not a drummer so :shrug:

[Oddsbodkins]

I love those crazy bass fills Henkka throws in, for example in the final chorus of hatebreeder. I wish he did stuff like that more often.

[SeveredSurvival]

That Warheart intro still makes me go :eek: every time I hear it. Btw, I get to see these guys in 9 days with Black Dahlia Murder and Skeletonwitch. So excited!

[Shinozoku]

My band (who's undergoing a name change) is thinking about covering Punch Me I Bleed, and our drummer listened to it and said "I'm not sure if I could do that." I said "What, the kinda bouncy/swingy hard rock drumming," and he said "Exactly." :haha

[Baraga]

I already asked, but no one saw my post...
Does anyone know if they are ever going to get to Portugal or Spain?

[ESPLTDV401DX]

Who has seen the new music video.

[SeveredSurvival]

Theirs a new music video?

[ESPLTDV401DX]

Lookin out my back door
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPno2l89cDE

[Oddsbodkins]

That there is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbfYK4I3rZM)

EDIT: I actually really enjoyed it :haha:

[romencer17]

Skeletons From The Closet? hella ripping off the Grateful Dead

[BigRyeguy]

Children of Bodom sucks imo.

[ESPLTDV401DX]

Children of Bodom sucks imo.
Then don't post in the thread.

[SeveredSurvival]

Well they had some fun, meh I'm kind of scared for their next actual full length though..

[ESPLTDV401DX]

Well they had some fun, meh I'm kind of scared for their next actual full length though..
Yeah but hopefully someday they make a Hatebreeder 2: still breeding hate

[BigRyeguy]

Then don't post in the thread.

I'm sorry, I read "The Children of Bodom thread" not the "Post in this thread if you are a fan of Children of Bodom". It's just my oppinion on the band, bro. Sorry I'm not a fan of annoying shredding and shrieking vocals.

[ESPLTDV401DX]

I'm sorry, I read "The Children of Bodom thread" not the "Post in this thread if you are a fan of Children of Bodom". It's just my oppinion on the band, bro. Sorry I'm not a fan of annoying shredding and shrieking vocals.
Nah don't be sorry, us fans just don't want the thread closed.

[BigRyeguy]

Nah don't be sorry, us fans just don't want the thread closed.

It's all good. I'll leave yall alone now.

[ESPLTDV401DX]

It's all good. I'll leave yall alone now.
Okay :cheers:

[Oddsbodkins]

Well they had some fun, meh I'm kind of scared for their next actual full length though..

I guess bad though it sounds, I've kind of written off the possiblity of them making another good album. So I'm happy for them to keep doing the novelty stuff.

[CodySG]

I liked the energy of the video, but I mean... I don't know... It could have been put together a little more like a video and not a jam session. I'm sure that's what they were going for though, and it is a covers album so that kind of attitude does fit.

I enjoyed it though.

And, just for anyone happening to read, I don't mind if people hate Bodom. I just don't like when no reasoning is given, just one liners. To me that's spam.

Yeah, it's a free forum, open thread, but to actively seek out a thread of a band you don't like, tell the thread you don't like them, then leave is kind of silly.

[spike_8bkp]

Okay. Seriously, kids. You've had your fun, so here's some change for you. Again. I started this thread almost four years ago, so now, close sesame.
