I don't care what people say, Alexi was amongst the best vocalists and guitarists of our time, you will be missed, RIP
Anyone who says otherwise is delusional, downright moron, and should probably go listen to Britney Spears (whom Alexi did a great cover of, btw).
Alexi was a musical genius and one of the greatest solo writers of all time. Composing Hatebreeder with all its grandeur at the age of 19 is sheer madness, and his legendary melodic runs will always remain unmatched. You could hear a solo and just know that this is Alexi’s doing.
He will be greatly missed, but he will always be remembered through his legacy.
Thank you for all the memories, Alexi!
Alexi was a great guitarist and songwriter, but even by death metal standards I always thought that he was a pretty bad and unintelligible vocalist.
Also a genius composer ... RIP
His vocal ability is seriously underrated!!! Shred in peace wild child!!!
Yes the best
R.I.P ALEXI LAIHO🎸🎶😢
I was absolutely shocked to hear it..such a young person, such an amazing musician! His efforts and influence will always be appreciated by the metal community, RIP!
Dude WTF :( Heads Down, Horns Up, Mortals
R.I.P ALEXI
Still can’t believe it feels like a nightmare .
Still cannot believe it, man :( :(
R.I.P Alexi and thank you for inspiring millions. COB for life 🤘
This song hits even harder now. Rip Alexi 💔
It really does.
indeed.
My heart aches.
Hurts. Bad.
Never leave us COB. To think i started listening to them in middle school, im almost 30 now and they're still going strong.
Same here. Not nearly as exciting as it was back then
Same. Started listening to them in 2002. They've dwindled a bit the past few albums but this track a nice surprise. Felt fresh but there are shades of pre-Are You Dead Yet that I really appreciated.
🤘🤘🤘
I saw them for the first time in 2006 when I was 17. Almost 30 myself now and I appreciate the fuck out of this song
join the club man,u aint alone :D
Guitar, vocals, attitude, creativity, originality, skill... Alexi was something else... Truly one of a kind!
My favourite band, ever since I was 15, meant so much to me and I genuinely feel heartbroken for the death of Alexi. His legacy will never be forgotten.
How i was when hanneman of slayer died. I was genuinely sad and angry at the world.
Still remember how I felt when I first discovered COB back in 2008 when I was 13. I was totally mind-blown. My first two songs were Everytime I die and Angels Don’t Kill. I Kept repeating them over and over again. The band has a special place in my heart and I still honestly believe they are the best in their genre. Their early releases are just legendary. Felt so sad when I heard that Alexi passed away .. that’s when I knew I’ll no longer be able to hear his unique melodic runs .. His legacy will never be forgotten.
Mines too.. discovered them back in 2007, saw them for the first time in 2009 & they've had a forever supporter ever since..
I can't live without him...
I don't know how
His d.g.a .f attitude is what made me the way I am
My favourite band too. First song of them I heard in 1998, it was Deadnight warrior from some mixed metal CD. It was like ages ago but I still have goosebumps every time I hear it. Then I managed to get Hatebreeder and Something Wild on compact cassete! And immediately gone crazy of the stuff, they are still my favourite albums. Been on two concerts in Moscow in 2003 and in october 2019, who would have known that in just 2 months the legend will pass away.. So sad.. His songs will live forever in our ♥️
The main riff is so happy
It sounds like 1980s with screaming.
Sounds like a punk rock song from 1992, but it is still very good.
Sounds like forever and always
@@EmmanuelGonzalez-pw5eu no, just......no
@@wanderingmetalguy5825 lol admit it, the tempo is slower it sounds a lot like it
I listened to Hexed all the way through today and I got a feeling that the songs reflected Alexi feeling his death may be near.
This is possible. Good album tho
@@KannX Good, but there is something new in it that the other albums didn't have. and it isn't all that "all out agressive" like every other album.
Agreed.
Yes
My thoughts too. Soon Departed, Under Grass and Clover. The titles speak for themselves. R.I.P. Alexi ❤
I’m gutted : (
He will be remembered!
*CHILDREN OF BODOM - Under Grass and Clover* Lyrics:
Flashback from the night before
Was it the other day, I couldn't say
It's all coming in pieces
But before you know they just fade away
Goddamn! What did I hear, what'd I do?
Where did I go and how'd I get here?
I know... I'm too far gone
A deadbeat, a travesty so what's my next strategy?
Fuck me, there's blood on my hands
That's nothing new but now they're shaking too
Everything's soaked in sweat
Here comes the "forgive and forget"
Who should I forgive? Forget that plan
I really don't give a damn
Just need my fix, I'm dying
So break out the bottle and stop crying
And the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears
Choking, breathing, exhaust
Hard to keep an even keel
Shot boiling mercury
It burns so bad yet I can't feel
Choking, breathing, exhaust
Hard to keep an even keel
Sweating, boiling mercury
It burns so bad yet I can't feel
Walking in a mine field
Hard to keep my eyes peeled
Shot to hell and fried
No heaven, evermore denied
And the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears.
Jesus these lyrics are depressing. It's all right there isn't it. Funny when you hear blood on my hands it's usually thinking about who did I kill? Classic Bodom Reaper imagery. But really it's the blood from puking up all the damage from drinking. Fucking addictions man.
Keyboard and guitar duets are back! Great song!!!!!!!!!!!
They were always there!
@@SparkShredder No they weren't. They've been largely inconsequential for a few albums. IWC didn't even have a bass track
@@AquariusC They have been there dude! The lead sound used by Janne was very guitarish. Maybe that's why you didnt notice. If you are talking about guitar-keyboard unison (both playing together), its only IWC where probably only 2 songs had it (I, Hurt, Widdershins). Halo of Blood had 4 (Scream for silence, Bodom Blue Moon, Damage Beyond Repair, All Twisted). RRF had 7 (Not my funeral, Shovel knockout, transference, RRF, Pussyfoot Miss Suicide, Ugly, Cry for the Nihilist), Blooddrunk had 4 (Hellhounds, Blooddrunk, Tie My rope, Done with Everything) and so on. These are just songs that had both of them playing leads together. Solo duels (playing one after the other) was in almost every song.
@@SparkShredder Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar 👍
Yeaaaa man great song i love bodom
1:21
"When the car wash is over
I'm still drying my tires!"
im very happy you exist, that was hilarious
Thanks for that! Never can unhear that
Thanks! :D
3:01 "I get the ass at walmart"
@@Kibiragalvis lmao 😂
3:16
Ahhhhh, can’t be a Children Of Bodom song without an orchestra hit.
Haha haha so true man.
So sweet.
Same
That's not even joke, that's a fact.
I'm heartbroken. I grew up listening to them throughout my teenage years and I would always get hyped for a new album. My husband and I bonded over our love for Bodom's music when we first started dating. I just can't believe it. Rest in peace, Alexi, and thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.
Tom Araya is a one sick drummer.
LOL man hahahahaah
What happened to Juska? I didnt follow this band in ages:(
@@Vukf1 it is Jaska, he just grew such glorious beard
he Looks more like gary holt
Lmao
One of the best Metal musicians that have ever lived. Absolute Legend
I've been grieving many late rockstars in the past 20 years or so. And I'm fully aware that this band wasn't singing about rainbows and butterflies. But whenever a Children of Bodom song kicks into my ears it just grabs my heart and squeezes it hard. I wish Alexi had it better.
If name of band is from cold murder-case, what could expect?
@PexiTheBuilder Nothing to do with it at all! Dude had an alcohol problem for years then got put on meds that should be mixed, simple as that. Think about it your on the road and these motherfuckers toured like no other! What else can you do? At a show you chilling drink wait till your set and the move on to the next city and same again.
God grant his soul eternal rest.
THE BOYS ARE BACK.
Jerry Baton beat me to it
Unknow for me but good stuff
Literally, Children of Bodom happy version.
Even I thought the same thing in the beginning but it kinda grows on you
YEEEp! Teh same feeling, kinda Last Christmass started with Downfall
You haven't heard hatecrew death roll haven't you😂
Happy metal channel is out of work here... :)
Hate Crew Death Roll is a very happy sounding metal album, especially Bodom Beach Terror!
R.I.P Alexi 😢 May you rock in heaven and may your songs never be forgotten 🤘
All jokes aside, let’s hope he’s not Banned from Heaven
now I get what this song, soon departed and this road are all about...
Metal is Forever
in every single matter ***sing***
@@VulgrimOfficial nations come together...😁🤘
Yes yes. Hail Satan 🤘🏻👹
@@romantimoshchuk7321 😝😝😝🤘
We love Satan as much as He loves us! 😀😀😀🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😁😁😁🤣🤣
Wow, it is hard to see that all those musicians that touched my heart are getting older, hope that someday i'll get to see them in my country and i'll never forget those memories from the first time heard them, nostalgic song in someway but IT IS AMAZING! Greetings from Nicaragua!
got to see them here at the House of Blues right before roope left it was amazing
Wish I had been there. I'm only 3 hours away... 3 HOURS!! T_T
When metal reunites the human race. Much love from 🇨🇦 🤘🖤
@@BC-jq8fg to be fair he said "getting older", not "getting old".
Greetings from Nicaragua too!!
And the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears.
RIP Alexi.
Such an epic bit of lyrical genius! He is sorely missed!!
He knew what he was getting at.
HBD 44 dude Wild Child forever and always! Kiitos brother!
Love the track! Sounds very promising in my opinion, super stoked for the new record!
Agree!!! Love it also! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Fucking wondeful
Cool
The intro warms my heart. I love this and I am really hyped for Hexed. Greetings from Germany \m/
Hail Satan 🤘🏻👹😈
Same here greetings from Texas 🍻🎸 🎛️
Grüße aus Deutschland;)
Deutschland 🤘
Sehr gut :)
Definatley my favorite guitarist and vocalist
Even the Gods will bang their head as Alexi plays in heaven....
I will miss your solos so much.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Farewell, Alexi. You were so, so bright. No shooting stars in my sky tonight.
Did anyone notice the track listing name scheme on the Hex album, not to mention lyrics in some spots (like in - 'Under Grass & Clover V1/V2' & 'This Road')? Alexi obviously knew his health situation & info before us... But was this his way of subliminally telling us the tragic news of what was to happen?!?!
RIP Alexi Laiho - the greatest metal guitarist of all time; Alexi Laiho was voted No. 1 out of the 20 metal guitarists, & with over 20% of the vote - Total Guitar
RIP Alexi. Man its been 5 days and im still tearing up hearing his music. My first decent guitar was a Jackson V because of him. He was the first guitarist i clung to and listened to Bodom religiously for a long time. Buying his instructional DVDs and albums, trying to play his stuff. Still heartbroken hes gone. He was such a massive part of my playing and love for guitar for so many years. Fly high Wildchild, you will be missed!
YOUR LEGACY WILL NEVER DIED, AND YOUR WORK IS IMMORTAL..
Cant believe it, still. RIP Alexi, thank you and CoB for everything over the past decade since I've started to listen to Bodom. Hope you are jamming with Randy Rhoads, Lemmy, Eddy van Halen and all the other legends who passed over the years. It still seems unreal to me, but I guess I have to accept it just as it is. Traveled to Helsinki in December 2019 to see the final CoB concert, I am now more happy than ever that I did that. Cheers to the Hate Crew around the world.
It's so heartbreaking to read the lyrics of this song, to really think about everything, to come to the realization that it was all about addiction.
When the calm washes over
My soul drying my tears
Under the grass and clover
A new sense of hope appears
It's like he truly felt as if he couldn't ever overcome his addiction while he was alive, and that he wouldn't ever break the cycle unless he was dead/in the ground (hence "Under Grass and Clover") 😢
RIP Alexi 🖤
I totally get whatchu mean.. I swear he's known since 2011...
I'm very sad, he was a musical prodigy, a genius songwriter, my favorite guitarist... R.I.P. Alexi
My adolescence is broken, Never forget you Alexi, from Argentina 🇦🇷
Finally, new song!
Simo Häyhä Bullet for my Valentine
Love your name, deadliest sniper in history
@@klossner7205 for trippin!
Everyday I wake up and I ask myself "Are You Dead Yet?" Now my pain is constant and sharp. I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others.
way ahead of you dude
That snare sound though...perfection!
This song conveys a lot of different emotions. Even right when you start the song, it feels happy, but then it goes to this beautiful melodious thing. I think it even feels sad at times, and sometimes it's jumpy, it's just a lot. I love the way this song does that, it's so unique, and it works well too! This is definitely one of my favorite COB songs. And only Alexi could do something like that. Hell, even the solo has emotion to it.
RIP Alexi Laiho. Gone way too soon.
Fuck yeah!
COB is still one of the best metal bands nowadays, amazing musicians!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like something from Hate Crew Deathroll. This is a pleasant surprise.
This sound also reminds me old days man. So good
I'll be a very happy guy if the rest of the album sounds like this. Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper & Death Crew Hateroll are amazing album!
That’s the vibe I immediately got from the first riff too
HOW I WISH THAT REST OF THE ALBUM IS LIKE HB FTR AND HCDR TYPE ...
For me, it sounds like a track from are you dead yet album. The rhythm, the voice and the keyboards are very similar.
There’ll never be another like him
You are correct. That was a once in a lifetime guitar experience he took us on.
Thank you for everything Alexi Laiho!! R.I.P
You can't kill the metal
The metal will live on
Grunge tried to kill the metal.......THEY FAILED!!!
Techno tried to defile the Metal... But techno was proven wrong
Just in case you're interested in the lyrics ;)

Love You Alexi. Miss You man.
Heartbroken that I never saw these guys live. Alexi seemed like such a good person, rest in peace king 🙏
Me only once and had plenty of chances to see them more now i still regret it
*WELL THIS IS PRETTY BLOODY GOOD*
has those HCDR vibes. loving it.
Absofuckinlutely
WHY ARE WE YELLING?!
BECAUSE METAL IS JUST SCREAMING
WHEN I WISHED 2021 WILL BE GREAT, I DID NOT EXPECT THIS
RIP ALEXI
How dumb are you?
Farewell Alexi... May all gods be with you where ever you are...
Elitist metalheads-metal riffs cannot be in a major scale they are not heavy
Alexi laiho-Hold my beer
There go’s my hero ...watch em as he go...second hero lost in few years!!!damm a guitar legend!and a great last album!keep rocking in heaven and say hii to chester for us!!!!!!!!love from europe belgium graspopmetalmeeting!
Rest In Peace Alexi. Legend 🤘I’m heart broken today
He gave us more than we require...
I first started listening to these guys nearly 15 years ago... they were still providing us with masterpiece after masterpiece. Rest easy and jam with Dimebag!
The Guitar solo sounds like it was actually written instead of improvised just like the older albums. GOOD SHIT!!
To be fair, Kissing the Shadows was pretty much improvised, and that has some of the best guitar/keyboard solos ever.
@@TheAspiringFitnessGuru Really? Those solos sound like he put some time into them. My favorite album. Talented bastard ha
@@Heathshrdz24 yeah, they needed one more song the day they went into the recording studio, and they made it up that day. I dunno if it was completely improvised, but they hadn't written any part of it before the day it was recorded.
Next In Line, 03:43, album: Are You Dead Yet.
They did borrow elements from that solo, especially that part for under glass and clover.
I've listened to this song 5 times since they have released it. It's given me chills every time. It's like I'm back in 2004 listening to an unreleased track. Can't wait for the rest of the album.
This bad is my teen years. Seen them 6 times and met alexi twice. Will always be close in my heart
Will never forget
This is one of their best songs, as in the golden age of the band, but with an amazing quality of mastering / mix.
Woao, please don't stop and make an album like this.
With love, a long time french fan
1:21....classic COB!! Love it!
For sure has a more "Follow the Reaper" feel than the last couple...
I feel are you dead yet?
necroplastful halo of blood had the worst sound in bodom history though.
I barely ever listen to it, because the sound is so boring on that one, which is a true shame, since the writing is actually good
Awesome MVS I worship chaos was terrible I stopped listening to them after I heard the first song released from that album
@@DemonizedAlucard I know but i never said I Worship Chaos. I said Are You Dead Yet?
You think Halo of Blood is not good enough but you believe this song is almost as good as Fallow the Reaper... now thats weird... I have 3 good songs for you from Halo Of Blood...
Bodom Blue Moon
Damage Beyond Repair
Your Days Numbered
One Bottle and a Knee Deep
All Twisted
Love how this one was put together!!! I will forever play their music! My condolences
So sad I never got to see these guys live. I found out about them a year before alexi passed and listened to their entire catalog front to back and love this song the most. They were gonna tour about an hour from me and I was so determined to get an autograph from him on anything. A shirt, cd, my arm I didn't care. Still really sad about that. Rip Alexi
Alexi shared his beautiful craft which were those beautiful riffs, powerful vocals and relatable lyrics. This song is one of his latest bangers he pulled off and it looked he didn't lose his step.
RIP Alexi. We, Bodom fans, are thankful for your music.
dont think there will ever be a band like children of bodom ever again
Holy shit he is so skinny in this video. I listened to Follow The Reaper etc back then and seeing Lexi tour he was always in shape and healthy. I wish he'd looked after himself. RIP
One of the most powerful metal songs of all times. The intro, the guitar riffs and the chorus are just out of this world...
Some say the main riff is happy but for me it sounds like aching eternity... So darkly beautiful with that exact sound they use.
I jam to this masterpiece every damn day. You're sorely missed Wildchild Laiho. Rest in Power 🤘🏻
Rest in Peace wildchild
This song and album are criminally underrated! RIP WILD CHILD!!
Finally!! Awesome track guys, really looking forward to the new album!🔥🤟
same old riffs
The ONLY band that I'm truly amazed every time they put up new stuff…like " daym , this is fucking good!"…CoB, you're fucking state of the art even after all these years and Alexi, you're a fucking god/genius
i live in iran, i'm their number one fan here, really great band, they raise the flag of metal & beat anyone who says metal is weak. hail from here \m/.
Thrash on, friend across the sea! Harder to be a metal fan out there, we're with you!
These guys have never failed to produce incredible music.
From incredibly good to incredibly bland
C F In your own opinion. I’m my opinion they are near perfect considering that all albums made typically have four of five songs that are really good. Each COB album has at least 6+ songs I fully enjoy. No other band produces that consistently for my taste.
relentless for very forgettable as well
@@chrisaycock4456 Check out The Black Dahlia Murder, if you want another really consistent band.

I was there, cool event
R. I. P. Alexi Laiho 😥😥😥
Re listening to all CoB today. Rest In Peace Alexi
Seeing Bodom Live was really something else, this video brings back awesome memories haha
all those claiming that the main melody sounds too happy, recall the main melody of the song Children of Bodom ;) The song is (partly) about those infamous murders and the melody sounds like if it was all about children dancing on meadow full of flowers.
New album sounds like it’s gonna be a banger! Love the album art.
R.I.P. Alexi. Your name is synonym for melodeath :-(
To me COB is the band that got me in to metal music and in to playing metal music with bass guitar and 6 string guitar. I will newer stop listening Children Of Bodom. And i have been listening COB for 15 years now. Some stuff just newer gets old. Aleksi will newer be forgotten R.I.P.
Me to , my friend showed me cob & I started also like him , guitar playing with 13 years … 😃 good memories … 😊
This song reminds me of the good old days, like Follow The Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll. I hope the rest of the album also contains more or less the same vibe.
i agree. its not as aggressive as the older stuff, but the riffage screams og bodom fo sho
Lol what? Are you comparing this to FTR? Are you serious?
@@IsUserADuck me comprende you... lol
Yeah, this sweet oldskool taste :)
@@Underp4ntz_Gaming_Channel Alexi's interviews about Roope just seem to say that his laziness just made it harder to record, not necessarily effecting the song writing tho.
I'm a ChOB fan since 1999, Tokyo Warheatrs introduced myself into heavy metal. I'm glad the band still kicking asses :)
these lyrics go straight to my heart
I will listen to Alexi COB BAM til the day i die RIP to the best songwriter guitarist ever!
So goddamn glad that i saw Bodom live before Alexi passed away.
Wonderful surprise! Greetings from Bulgaria! Keep on rocking!

Dear Alexi Laiho, your songs and melodies will live forever in our souls. Rest in music, wildchild. 🖤
At the age of 16 I met the band COB, specifically, I found Alexi Lahio's technique on the guitar formidable. I had the honor of seeing him play in my native country, Mexico, I will never forget him. I know that more than one thinks something similar to what I wrote, today, almost a year after his departure.
"In the temple of the virtuous is his ability, his charisma and his great passion to innovate the genre. He changed my life."
