I really hope he knew just how big an impact he made on so many lives including my own. He and his music are the reason I ever decided to try to find a creative voice and pick up instruments to begin with. I feel a great loss knowing I'll never have the chance to see him play his music. I know his influence will be forever remembered, but I will always remember the huge impact this man had on my life. Rest in peace alexi, I am glad you are no longer suffering. Too many musicians die not knowing how influential they were in the lives of people that watched them grow. I only wished I had known of children of bodom sooner.
He did, but in a very humble kinda way. I had the priviliege to talk to him way back in '11 when I was working at the venue they were playing at. He was sick as a dog before the show as he'd caught the flu or something a few days prior, but you wouldnt know from the stage performance. Even did an interview with a local metal reporter a couple hours before the show. He had a few swigs of Jack and just went out there and performed as if nothing was amiss. Such an awesome down to earth guy.
Bro I remember spending hours as a young teen trying to learn his solos. Still can’t believe how many legends we have lost in the metal world in the last 6 years. COB will always be one of my favorites bands forever. RIP king we miss you ❤️
He low key wants to say "I'm just a guy buying a fake palm tree nothing to see here please move ahead with your life and let me be" lol you can tell he's forcing a response love this dude super kind and humble 24/7
Such a painful loss. A true inspiration and impact on the world. Will forever continue to pour one out for the late and great Mr. Laiho. A metal god amongst kings.
I still remember when I heard “in your face” for the first time, and saw the music video. I literally just stopped and sat there until it was over, eyes and mouth wide open. Magic.
Same! I was 12-13 yo when I came across In Your Face online 05-06 and it changed my life. Been a die hard fan ever since :') COB makes me proud to be Finnish! I just visited Alexi's grave yesterday
No matter how much time passes I just can’t get over the fact that he’s gone. I truly hope he knows how much he is missed. The impact you made on so many peoples lives including my own. Got me through the worst times and the best times in life. I still spread cob like wildfire showing everyone I can, when I have kids i will show them too. Rip wildchild \m/
Damn Alexi it hurts so much to never meet you in person 😭😭😭😭 Rest in peace brother thanks for the gig in Stuttgart 10 years ago without you I would never be as good in playing guitar like i become THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGELS DON'T KILL 😭😭😭😭😭
I fuggin miss you Alexi. I didn't know you personally, but you were my inspiration to play guitar and cover vocals. I listen to your music constantly remembering the shows I made it too. In fact, when I first heard a COB CD I disliked it, seeing you live changed my heart forever. You and Jannie.
fcking hell man.... i still remember. i was 12 looking for the undertakers move: chokehold... ended up with COB. first ever metal i got exposed to in 2006 after things like the ramones, kiss ect. thought it was kinda shit. came back after a day. it was okay. and a week later children of bodom got me into metal HARD. sadly only was able to see them live once. but was amazing. was able to see them multiple times but thought: ah ill see them another time. in 2020 when i got the message when he died i couldnt even fcking cry i was just in shock .. still remember the message came out on januari 4th or 5th that he died. later when it was confirmed he died on the 29th of december. of all fcking days he died on my sisters bday.... man i hope you have a great after live man... i fcking miss you... thousands of us do.... and i especially feel sad for your daughter and wife.. life is short. Minä rakastan sinua mate! see u in valhalla
Made me crack up when he’s like “I bought a fucken fake palm tree today” hahaha god I would of love to sit and chat with this man… rest easy wildchild 🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻
when he says ladies and gentlemen it's Alexi, what i heard is "Ladies and Gentlemen it's a Legacy" ... indeed you are a precious Legacy to us ! rest in peace!
Rip brother didn't get to meet you in this life maybe in the next we will get a chance to jam. All my love goes out to the band family and friends that truly appreciated and loved this man.
Man its crazy I nearly forgot I made my username inspired by alexi, I seen cob live once and it truly was one of my most cherished memories I'll ever have
I've been a huge fan of Alexi I even have tatoos heavily inspired by his since he was my 1st tattooed idol. Im also an alcoholic by my own accord. I recently ripped a hole in my esophagus while drunkenly puking for the 1000s time. Please boys your life is fragil fluid from my esophagus entered my heart cavity and I'm lucky to be alive and im 28!!!
lmlCOBHClml Well it was a surprise for him, he found out on COB's Facebook and every metal media sites that "COB and Roope have parted ways". He was shocked to find out and even asked if there were, "Any Death, Thrash, Black or Melodic Metal band looking for a guitarist?"Then deleted his twitter page. Lets hope Stone get the attention it deserves.
Alexi is from here, from my hometown Espoo… The moment when my wife burst into tears and said that this is not possible, Alexi is dead! I will never forget that 😔 Wife bought a canvas of him which i will put it on my shops wall 🤘🏻
