    I met Alexi while I was living in Helsinki, my mom's birth town. Only met him once at the place called Nosturi, a cultural center where COB had a rehearsel room for a short time before they rented their own house for COB and COB only. So I ran into him outside of the building, didn't want to bother him, but couldn't help it. He turned out to be the most kind, humble, funny,..a very down to earth guy. I remember he was in a hurry but still he went back to their rehearsal room to get me a t-shirt (I didn't ask him to do that for me), and signed it. Still have that t-shirt and I will never sell it. When I remember that day I met him by chance...I'm starting to tear up 😥😥 Thank you Alexi, your career had a huge impact on so many people around the world. You weren't just a virtuoso guitarist but also a great human being, son, brother, husband, friend...loved by so many people ❤️❤️
    May your soul rest in peace,
    You will never be forgotten.
    With Love, Marisol A 💜💕💜

    I met alexi 7 years ago I was at my lowest point in my life. I was an alcoholic and addict. He was such a kind and loving person. He encouraged me to pick up a guitar and told me music will save me. Since then I have been sober And got my life together and became a father an one hell of a guitar player. He saved my life. He took time to talk with me and encouraging me to take back my life with music. Rest well my friend thank you for saving me.

    I used to listen to his songs when I went for walks alone in the forest to get away from an abusive household. 'Everytime I Die' was my favourite. He was the only friend I had and I haven't stopped crying since I heard. Rip. I don't know what else to say I'm still in shock, he's the reason I picked up a guitar after studying viola, and now he's gone. He's an angel, he came, he did what he came for and he left. I keep trying to make myself feel better by telling myself that he was Niccolo Paganini in a past life and Vivaldi before that and he'll come back again in a new reincarnation to finish what he started centuries ago, but that doesn't make it easier.

It's a great great loss for people who actually knew him, and for metal stage. Nobody would be ever able to play like him and be so cool with fans like he was.

    And then, I began to play guitar...
    This loss is really painful

We are going to miss you so much because not only were you one of the best guitar players in the world but, an influence to so many people who looked up to you and will remember you forever. There is so much I’d like to say and express my feelings the way I feel right now. But, all I can say is I’m so hurt your gone but, your talent and music will always be remembered and never will be forgotten. It will always live on. You’ll always be one of my our hearts and our music. May you be and Rest In Peace. We will always love you and remember you here in

    I was the only kid in my high school to buy this and introduce it to them. They were all about Pantera, Sepultura, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer etc etc. But I looked for and found CD's like Children Of Bodom - Something Wild, Cradle Of Filth - Vempire basically upon release in Australia. Enslaved, Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Bal-Sagoth, and the likes. They liked Carcass, Suffocation, and then started to borrow my CD's, and I borrowed theirs (if they had the courage to trade for a few nights max). The teen days of the 90's in metal innovation.

    He was a cool dude; I remember when they were opening for Slayer, I didn't even know who they were; I arrived early for general admission/pit, had to take a massive piss, went behind this tiny venue, and after I was done, Alexi (didn't know who he was at the time, I thought he was a roadie, lol) yells out "nice one" (the piss was LONG and LOUD af), he was sitting in this bricked-off balcony-esque area just outside the back door, I went up the stairs, and he was just sitting on a fold-out metal chair practicing by himself. We talked for a bit, he asked who I was there to see, nothing special in terms of dialogue, but he had a REALLY chill vibe to him. Spent about a half hour shooting the shit, then I bailed saying I had to get back in line.
    When I saw Alexi come out on stage later, I was front row, he saw my eyes widen in a wtf manner, he gave me a head nod acknowledging "you had no clue who I was" and I just shrugged in defeat... the crowdsurfing was awesome, and I remember the melodies of the songs, and I was humming them to my metalhead friends over the phone in another state on my drive back home trying to get the name of the songs (YT wasn't that big of thing back in the early 2000's).
    Saw CoB every US tour thereafter. I felt pride seeing them eventually become headliners.
    That's my Alexi story.

    Alexi was the reason I picked up a guitar and started writing again. Man what a tragedy.

    Children of bodom was everything to me in middle school. I was looking forward to the new sound bodom after midnight would bring. What shatters me most is that he never got to do anything with bodom after midnight.
    I’m gonna miss him. I always will
