I'm a fairly recent metalhead, maybe only about a year in. Can confirm this was basically all metal, that and just atonal noise. I mean some of it is atonal noise, but they're trying to sound like that
Bradley playing Rhythm guitar: "Isn't that like a Children of Bodom song already?" Also Bradley: *playing the Walmart version of the Needled 24/7 riff*
@@Slkfd55 yeah, he even said, tehy are there for the funs and people expect lyrics in a song, but actually he just put down words that sounded edgy and brutal or fitting
@@appleid3151 Bradley is frantic and just zooms around the isnturments because he literally only takes 5 minutes Dragonforce more like called it '10 minutes song' because they cut down the video to 10 minutes for youtube, but actually took several weeks (or atleast several fridays/streams) to write their cheesy funny covers
As a big CoB fan I have to say: this is both horrendous and exactly what I expected. Loved every second of it and I feel forced to subscribe due to the sheer accuracy of this speedrun
Seriously though, memes and jokes aside, it is incredible what you're able to accomplish in five minutes, be entertaining WHILE you're doing it, AND have the finished product be entertaining as well. Children of Bodom is one of my favorite bands (if you can't tell by how many times I've commented on your videos asking you to do them in this series), and I feel like Alexi would get a big kick out of this. Thank you for doing what you do, I really do love and appreciate you ❤
totally agree on that, to come up in 5 minutes with that and manage to make it halfway a demo where you could easily build a real extended song of it.. i mean you get a good idea how i could sound pretty good and i think its amazing. Would be so cool if you put in the work some time and make a full extended song out of that.
Bodom! Alexi would have gotten a kick out of this for sure. One awesome thing I learned from Alexi is that no matter how metal you are, never take yourself too seriously. It is all about having fun! If it's not fun then what's the point right? I think Carcass and/or jester race era in flames would be another fun idea for another new song in 5 minute video
The end result sounded like something COB would actually come up with, so I hereby name it "Vihaan jokia" (I hate rivers) by the one-man cover band, Bodomin Lapsi. p.s. Your Speedrun series is great! p.p.s. My knowledge of Finnish is incredibly basic, so excuse any errors! :D
As someone who knows how to do a Alexi style scream, I’ll say yours wasn’t even too bad for someone who doesn’t know what they are doing XD Great job mate, made me laugh!
@Steve B Why not? After I’ve been practicing screming vocals for about a year now, I can somewhat do them. I like to sing Bodom stuff because my basic scream sound is close to Alexi’s. Also probably has to do with the register (meaning my voice is close in the high/low as Alexi’s)
This sounds exactly like my band back in Finland during the formative years of realising I'm only good at listening music or watching sport, not participating in any way.
There's actually something interesting about this sound. It's a fustercluck, but you can tell that the musician(s) behind it has some skill. As for a band/musician... maybe a Carlos Santana song.
I seem to remember a quote from Alexi, I think it was referring to Hatecrew Deathroll, about how he wrote a lot of the lyrics like days before they recorded the album. This is believable lol
Well, I have to admit I enjoyed it! But this video is a proof of how complicated CoB are, and how sophisticated their music lines are, that 5 minutes are not enough! You got the vibe at least! And bless you, those keyboards made me LAUGH! I tried to put Janne's face on yours while you executed them! Loved it! Keep on, I enjoy wour videos so much!
Children of Bodom are one of my all time favourite bands and I was hoping you’d do a speedrun of them someday so this was awesome! I really enjoyed this video and I think you should do Finntroll or Wintersun next, it would be hilarious
Brad has all the necessary chops to speedrun Archspire but I think time limit could be a problem for anyone to get umistaken Archspire sound and not sound like any generic tech death. They are quite melodic for tech death. No surprise it took them a couple of years of (day to day almost) to write last album. Braindrill would be trivial for Brad however. Just throw in random notes fast.
You should try doing Type O Negative lol, I'm very interested to see how your vocals would sound. plus it's a more bass-driven band, so you'll be forced to rember 😁
This was VERY entertaining to watch! To videos, I don’t laugh so easily. This one sure got the job done! Best of regards from Finland to Australia! Cheers, mate! 😁
I can't believe how good and actually true to form this was.. all jokes aside, if you took your time, you could make an actual (proper) tribute song. Nicely done!
I'm amazed how awesome drum tracks you can conjure on that keyboard. I try that on some electric keyboard I have but I cannot come even remotely close to anything sounding like normal percussion track. Yours is legit as f*. This speedrun is unmistakably CoB!
ngl as chaotic and fun this is, it might surprise that those actually helped me a lot in understanding the absolute fundamentials of what some of those bands do, what makes them special in a way.... Love this series!!! also as low quality as the results were, I got instant CoB vibes from the beginning part lol
Bradley hall is definately one of the more creative metal musicians on youtube! This is my first speedrun video ive seen and this makes me wanna check out the others!
Oh man, that Bishi Bashi Special drop in after mentioning the orchestra hit. What a legendary game. I played the afro dance minigame in an Argos and insisted that the game would be my next birthday present.
Like I know your awesomeness is on full display in every video you do but for some reason I find myself wanting to see some super serious cover or original content just because you're so damn good, you're right up there with the best when it comes to technical ability
This must be what all metal sounds like to people who don't listen to it
The beginning of the rythm guitar reminds me of the intro part from 'Needled 24/7' (Which was track 1 on the Hate Crew Deathroll Album)
@@ItsJustMetrion was just thinking that lol
I'm a fairly recent metalhead, maybe only about a year in. Can confirm this was basically all metal, that and just atonal noise. I mean some of it is atonal noise, but they're trying to sound like that
LOL. Yes, this might actually be the case hahahaha
Minus the keyboards
drums aren't out of tempo, it's just progressive jazz
@@BradleyHallGuitar yeah yeah yeah
Hahahaha
Thanks, I hate it 🤣🤣
hahaha
Qauntizing does wonders XD
Bradley playing Rhythm guitar: "Isn't that like a Children of Bodom song already?"
Also Bradley: *playing the Walmart version of the Needled 24/7 riff*
Dollar store synths too
Stabbed 12/3,5
Those keyboard leads sound like if kerry king was a keyboardist
such an underrated comment
THEY DO 😭
Comment of the year
lmao
wait you're me!
This is 100% a song CoB would have improvised on the spot
Cob: a serious death metal band with depths in their music and lyrics
Bradley: *ponds*
yeah lakes are deep
I'm so so sorry I have to be that guy but Alexi actually improvised most lyrics in the studio
As a CoB fan, I must admit that the lyrics weren't thaaat deep
I mean ponds are pretty deep, you can actually drown in them
@@Slkfd55 yeah, he even said, tehy are there for the funs and people expect lyrics in a song, but actually he just put down words that sounded edgy and brutal or fitting
Doctor: "You have 5 minutes left to live."
Bradley Hall:
Bradley: Acts like he has 5 seconds to make a song in 5 minutes.
DragonForce: Acts like they have 10 years to make a song in 10 minutes.
I really don't understand the wording of this but I get what you mean, I think
@@appleid3151 Bradley is frantic and just zooms around the isnturments because he literally only takes 5 minutes
Dragonforce more like called it '10 minutes song' because they cut down the video to 10 minutes for youtube, but actually took several weeks (or atleast several fridays/streams) to write their cheesy funny covers
@@Dornogol I mean, who cares? the result is still interesting and we see how they brainstorm their ideas to create a song
Sam has a lot of experience in composing so it makes it easier.
@@Dornogol Doesn't DF do/improvise their 10 minute songs in ONE stream thou? 🤔🤔 They are super funny and accurate too!! 😁😁
As a big CoB fan I have to say: this is both horrendous and exactly what I expected.
Loved every second of it and I feel forced to subscribe due to the sheer accuracy of this speedrun
I agree
Mee too mate! Meee too!! You stole the words
This comment full hearted. Welcome to the channel Bois I am here for the long run I guess hahah.
I want Depeche Mode next
Beanley's gonna need atleast 6 minutes for that
same, that'd be really cool imo
DP is the fucking shit!
chkchkchk mode
Ah yes, the heavy metal gods Depeche Mode.
In all Fairness, Depesche Mode is awesome
Seriously though, memes and jokes aside, it is incredible what you're able to accomplish in five minutes, be entertaining WHILE you're doing it, AND have the finished product be entertaining as well.

The best series on RUclips continues…
As Children of Bodom fan and Finnish metalhead, thats fucking amazing.
Agreed!! 🇫🇮❤️
Absolutely 🤘
suomi perkele
More like a full meme,as a finnish : )
We need a COB melody, 4:59 starts singing Hate Me. And yeah the riff sounds like Needled 24/7. I love this episode
Bodom! Alexi would have gotten a kick out of this for sure. One awesome thing I learned from Alexi is that no matter how metal you are, never take yourself too seriously. It is all about having fun! If it's not fun then what's the point right?
I think Carcass and/or jester race era in flames would be another fun idea for another new song in 5 minute video
Only lakes?
I guess you can say this was the *WATERED DOWN* version of Children of Bodom!
[Insert Tidus laugh from FFX]
Wondering if you chose Tidus cos tidal
lmao
I SEA what you did there.
The Tidus laugh really wraps this up
Oh man you missed an opportunity to call the song "Korn on the CoB"
That was absolutely great. A masterpiece again… How about Nightwish next? I would love to hear you sing some opera :D
“They wrote a lot of songs about lakes” hahahaha oh Bradley. This killed me.
Because I'm such a masochist I want you to do Gojira in 5 minutes just to rub in the fact that their tour has been delayed for A FULL FUCKING YEAR
Man I've been waiting so long for that tour that their reschedule is the same day as another show I have tickets to
The end result sounded like something COB would actually come up with, so I hereby name it "Vihaan jokia" (I hate rivers) by the one-man cover band, Bodomin Lapsi.
p.s. Your Speedrun series is great!
p.p.s. My knowledge of Finnish is incredibly basic, so excuse any errors! :D
In a cute way, nice to see Alexi's legacy living on.
Finally covered my favorite band. Limp Bizkit in 5 minutes would be perfect for da memes
Yesss I second that.
DO IT BRAD
So accurate! I love how bands' sounds can be reduced to these kinds of jokes and still be instantly recognizable.
Best series on YT!
Drums remind me of St Anger lol
They weren't that bad.
As someone who knows how to do a Alexi style scream, I’ll say yours wasn’t even too bad for someone who doesn’t know what they are doing XD Great job mate, made me laugh!
me too mate!! hilarious!
@Steve B Why not? After I’ve been practicing screming vocals for about a year now, I can somewhat do them. I like to sing Bodom stuff because my basic scream sound is close to Alexi’s. Also probably has to do with the register (meaning my voice is close in the high/low as Alexi’s)
@Steve B why not? It's not as if Alexi was some prodigy doing unique stuff, it's pretty accessible
@Steve B
It's just a fry scream dude. Maybe manipulated a little in terms of projection and pitch but still ultimately a fry scream
This sounds exactly like my band back in Finland during the formative years of realising I'm only good at listening music or watching sport, not participating in any way.
I almost shed a tear when I heard the Alexi's "yeah yeah"
There's actually something interesting about this sound. It's a fustercluck, but you can tell that the musician(s) behind it has some skill.
As for a band/musician... maybe a Carlos Santana song.
I hope there are some YAAAW YAAAAW!
Edit: I guess Yeah Yeah is fine 😆 amazing Laiho impression
@@BradleyHallGuitarLaiho's impression quality check ✅
Sounds like Needled 24/7
"Are you dead yet is the definitive cob sound"
From now on we are enemies...you and i
Follow the reaper😔🤟
you forgot downing a bottle of jameson. a crucial point in the planning stage
I seem to remember a quote from Alexi, I think it was referring to Hatecrew Deathroll, about how he wrote a lot of the lyrics like days before they recorded the album. This is believable lol
This might be my favorite one of these yet! You should call it "Children of BADom". ;)
or Children of BoDumb :)
Well, I have to admit I enjoyed it! But this video is a proof of how complicated CoB are, and how sophisticated their music lines are, that 5 minutes are not enough! You got the vibe at least! And bless you, those keyboards made me LAUGH! I tried to put Janne's face on yours while you executed them! Loved it! Keep on, I enjoy wour videos so much!
Speed run a DOOM metal band, just anything with a ridiculous slow tempo
Candlemass! I sorely want to see Bradley imitating Messiah Marcolin
@@garymeaney60 that would be epic lol
he'll only get to play one riff
@@mot0rdeth or he could a couple of fast riff and stretch it to 5 minutes
Black Tongue
Man this is some of the most refreshing shit i have seen in awhile
Children of Bodom are one of my all time favourite bands and I was hoping you’d do a speedrun of them someday so this was awesome! I really enjoyed this video and I think you should do Finntroll or Wintersun next, it would be hilarious
Im glad you put some Lars Ulrich for all the Metallica Fans in there too!
i totally enjoyed it! big COB fan, and that was reminiscent and a lot of fun. I think you should do an Archspire speedrun next!
Oh God. Don't know if he'll survive that one
Are you trying to kill him
Brad has all the necessary chops to speedrun Archspire but I think time limit could be a problem for anyone to get umistaken Archspire sound and not sound like any generic tech death. They are quite melodic for tech death. No surprise it took them a couple of years of (day to day almost) to write last album.
Braindrill would be trivial for Brad however. Just throw in random notes fast.
@@reav3rtm great points!! He would do great at brain drill. Throwing archspire in there was partly just me being a pain in the ass.
100% sounds like something Alexi and Janne would do at 3am drunk as föööööck
🤣 intro editing is gold... just missing some start wipes!
Great work! Children of Bodom is one of my all time favorite bands. I’d definitely vote for Nightwish or Limp Bizkit as your next speed run.
You should try doing Type O Negative lol, I'm very interested to see how your vocals would sound. plus it's a more bass-driven band, so you'll be forced to rember 😁
This was VERY entertaining to watch! To videos, I don’t laugh so easily. This one sure got the job done! Best of regards from Finland to Australia! Cheers, mate! 😁
You can say what you want about the quality of your song,i'm sure Alexi had a lot of fun watching this ❤
Seems like he was a great dude with great sense of humor.
I've finally been asking for this video for a while now
Only thing wrong is that their keyboard player was actually good.
All the members of Children of Bodom are/were brilliant musicians
The Keyboard track sounded like something out of a Dragonforce album
I can't believe how good and actually true to form this was.. all jokes aside, if you took your time, you could make an actual (proper) tribute song. Nicely done!
Great to see this series back, man, I’d love to see a video on bands like Pink Floyd, Ghost or Red Hot Chili Peppers
That was freaking hilarious and actually kinda accurate with COB music, fantastic my friend 🤘
This is chaotic and thats what makes it so great.
Tiny sleeves, large head. This man will be famus for days.
Get CoB drunk enough that they can't keep time and tell them to just jam, and they'd totally make something like this
I love how hilariously shambolic Bradley is. Just adds to the entertainment. 😆
OH NO! My favourite band! You'd better FUCK THIS UP properly. And don't forget Henkka!
Phew you did. Sounds NOTHING like Chillun o Bodum.
😁
I'm amazed how awesome drum tracks you can conjure on that keyboard. I try that on some electric keyboard I have but I cannot come even remotely close to anything sounding like normal percussion track. Yours is legit as f*.
This speedrun is unmistakably CoB!
I'm certain he would have laughed his ass off to this! Great job mate
"I'm gonna do something from the Are You Dead Yet? era"
*Plays Needled 24/7*
Ok dud.
Change the speed to 0.25x and click this 0:06 🤣🤣
The Keyboard-Solo kills me every time :D
Thats hilarious, good stuff man
This is a pretty accurate demonstration of the actual COB recordings, only being sober and less swearing... 💀
No idea what you're talking about, absolute masterpiece. Never having heard CoB, i have a pretty solid idea what to expect now.
The keyboard solo gets me everytime lmaoo
Love that it's essentially a demo version of needled 24/7 from HCD even though Bradders was going for an Are You Dead Yet vibe 😂😂😂
Fitting how a song about lakes bring him to new depths.
Love it.
Kissing the shadows, Living dead beat and Dead man's hand on you are probably my favorite COB songs.
Lepää rauhassa Alexi
ngl as chaotic and fun this is, it might surprise that those actually helped me a lot in understanding the absolute fundamentials of what some of those bands do, what makes them special in a way....
Love this series!!!
also as low quality as the results were, I got instant CoB vibes from the beginning part lol
As a cob fan, this is honestly the greatest thing I've witnessed all day, even the drums
Nightwish next? I would love to see what you do for vocals :D
The tiny pause before that awesome keyboard solo, perfection.
Bradley hall is definately one of the more creative metal musicians on youtube! This is my first speedrun video ive seen and this makes me wanna check out the others!
YOU FINALLY DID IT AFTER ME BEGGING YOU FOR IT!! THANK YOU BEANDADDY! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GUITARIST ON RUclips!!!
3:00 he stops talking sh1t
Yo Bradley I love your videos man, hit me with The Red Chord next!
That is a dream come true.
Appreciate the Owl tattoo ;) Also love CoB. So instant subscribe!
Alexi would've loved this, RIP
Oh man, that Bishi Bashi Special drop in after mentioning the orchestra hit. What a legendary game. I played the afro dance minigame in an Argos and insisted that the game would be my next birthday present.
All previous speedruns were actually very good, you impressed me everytime! This is the first one that actually made laugh...!
Yeah, the intro riff was pretty much needled 24/7
Ngl this is my absolute favorite speedrun video so far!
Glad to see this series is back......those drums (chefs kiss)
You're a madlad. I love it! Cheers from France!
COB is probably my favorite band ever, and I’m simultaneously disgusted and in love with this. Well done. Alexi would be happy.
I love the way he says "Children of Bottom"
The best part of the song is the bass. Perfect pitch and timing!!
This is by far my favourite series on RUclips. Thanks for making my day!
DUDE, THIS SOUNDS SO LEGIT THO, LMFAO
My mans Bradley out here leaking a new Bodom After Midnight track that didn't get to be finished
Like I know your awesomeness is on full display in every video you do but for some reason I find myself wanting to see some super serious cover or original content just because you're so damn good, you're right up there with the best when it comes to technical ability
It's not even bad. Would love to see this live.
I am crying at how terribly convincing this is... keep it up!!
The orchestra hit part killed me man, thanks, I was in need of a good laugh
Hahaha you are absolutely great man, CoB and Alexi I think it was a really big challenge..next time could be Meshuggah??. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🤘🤘
Bradley is Lars Ulrich of keyboard drums
Bodom after midnight band is next.
The keyboard made me laugh so hard in the final mix. I’d like to see Amon Amarth or BTBAM next!
That "Yeah yeah!" thing is painfully accurate.
This was a fantastic watch. I have to believe Alexi would have loved this, he never took things too seriously.
