@@shadowpriest300 one of the absolute best bro. True rockstar. The last great guitar hero. No guitar hero younger than him. From a small town in Finland, had fans world over. And you know, he could actually fucking play.
I love the metal/rock community, no matter what everyone comes together in sad times and shows respect. RIP to a legend, your music will forever live on!
I remember how obsessed I am with this band when I was still a middle-schooler. And now, here I am pursuing what I finished in college paying a visit to this song which is my all-time favorite cob track. Rest In Peace Alexi. It's just the start of a whole new year and we can't believe you died this early. You will always be missed and will remain a huge inspiration into the world of music especially metal. So... Are you dead yet?
Ive been crying all night..I never thought as a 30 year old male that id be crying over a dude ive never met, But fuck alexi was such a legend for me growing up...Ill miss you alexi :'(
Not very many metal bands have such a distinct sound whereas with children of bodom, you instantly recognize them upon rhythmatic structure and those otherworldly vocal chords Alexi possessed. Forever live on in my heart legend, thank you for getting me into heavy metal🙏🏼
He knew all along he was slowly putting himself in the grave and he embraced it. He was 25 when this was recorded and the behind the scenes footage of him face down on the floor with the bassist saying “this is every day” confirms it. So sad.
Miss my high school days listening to this. I was the only metalhead in a Christian high School. I'm still a metalhead of course!!! I heard this song back when I was 15...miss those days..im 24 now.
I went to a public high school there was a group of us metal heads. This was 16 years ago tho since I left high school. Now were all 30 year olds with jobs kids and home....we still rock out tho 🤘
Good thing that these things never change or die. The world around you will always come and go, rise and fade, but that feeling you had then is still burning as strong if you just stoke it once more. You may not get back to that world and that life, but you can stay in the place in your head for as long as you want, and I think that's a nice feeling of security to have.
I just wanna say how much this song means to me. In November of 2021 my whole life collapsed in on itself. My gf cheated on me, I was struggling to find work, I got kicked out and I got tonsillitis. I was sent to live with my dad who I have a really bumpy relationship with and I was left to die. I wanted to end my life and I did try. But I survived. It was me and this song, I played it over and over the guitar conforted me when nobody else would and I headbanged and I pushed my way to survive another day. I never knew of this band while Alexi was alive but I am grateful for this song, in a way it got me through a rough time. Thank you Children Of Bodom thank you Alexi.
@@xfghkhjfsejid sorry for the extremely long time it took me for this response and I just wanted to say thank you for your kind words. I have been extremely happy. I am in a new and healthy relationship, my music career is doing great, I am playing live shows and working on a studio album at this moment, I am living in a positive environment and I have been learning to love myself and life a little more everyday, although things are better and I’m happy and lucky to have these blessings, I have my rough days still, I still have some obstacles to climb and some things I need to work on and I still have days where the world beats me down a little bit, like how we all do but I am gonna push through it. Again thank you for your comment it means alot that you took your time and read my little story. In short there is a happy ending, I am doing better, I am happy and the cheating ex tried crawling back recently only for me to reject her and carry on with my new healthy and happy relationship. I hope things are great for you, I hope you achieve, and I hope you chase your dreams like how I am chasing mine. Hope we can headbang together one day. - Marcus :)

Don't care, commit to your self destruction drive I kiss the ground with love beyond forever Flip off the sky with bleeding fingers till I die Enemy, take a one good look at me.

@@bladebitten2766 lucky you, a week. I heard the same day. Believe me or not I was like a ghost for a month. Getting out of the bed, washing, eating, get dressed and going to work. An hour after I started the cash register and the heater and I even got a coffee I "wake up" and realizing I was at work. Empty hours, blind moments, I never used drugs in my life and never had blind spots. His death changed my life. I thought I would always find WildChild there, encouraging us, making his music the best way he could. Life is not the same without him.
His stage presence was all. He was one of the greatest guitarists. He got me hooked to guitar so much that i started learning it. ❤ No you aren't dead yet. Not as long as i am alive!!! ❤
I consider myself lucky to have seen Alexi 2 times before his passing. Looking back at those times makes me tearful. I used to play many of his songs day and night but now those times are nothing but memory. Thanks for making my childhood memorable.
One of the first concerts I ever went to go see with Megadeth, Job For A Cowboy and In Flames. R.I.P Alexi thank you for all the awesome music and memories you will be missed.
@@taylormcnabb7729 It was my second concert and my first time really seeing what a mosh pit looked like and I remember going nuts during one of JFAC songs and Children of Bodoms and Inflames sets. I wasn't too excited to see Megadeth at first but they blew me away with there set too. But yeah I seen Children of Bodom live twice and they always kicked major ass in there sets. It's a huge bummer Alexi is gone and I will miss him alot.
Ironically my name is Alexi, my mother put me that name, 'cause Alexi was her favourite band member, and i can play guitar too, beside drums, bass, and im learning how to scream.
I’m 31 with a wife and two daughters... the girls love my ‘loud’ music... I used to be in a few bands but I’m not a musician anymore, but it led me to this stage... the peak of my musical self worth came from Alexi and his indistinguishable sound... I wouldn’t have been the same without him... rock in peace my brother...
Younger me listened to these guys. I stopped listen to this genre of music for awhile now. I'll come back and revisit my young days of music. But it's sad to know Alexi has passed. This music had me vibing out as a kid. RIP KING!
RIP Alexi, you single-handedly inspired me to take playing guitar more seriously again when I wasn’t really into it for a time. Saw COB in 2004 and 2005. The 05 show in particular was so much fun. Wish I would’ve have seen you guys more but have great memories of seeing you guys live.
Alexi was the guitar God of heavy metal of the 21st century. Never got the recognition he deserved 😭 all of us who know music and metal knew it tho. Seeing him live shredding that sick yellow Jackson flying V guitar was so beautiful and just became one with it and rocked out so hard. We miss u Alexi. We know u jamming with all the greats and earned a spot among the Gods of Rock 😈🔥
I was 13 and during the summer of ‘08 my sister showed me COD for the first time and this was my first song ❤️❤️❤️ tears me inside to know we’ve lost such a mind blowing artist but you’ll be dead to the world as long as your music is around. Rest well with the rest of the legends ❤️
That smile at 0:47 has stuck with me all this time and was primarily how I remembered this music video 😅😆😂💯 I'm not dogging on his smile. It's an Iconic one due to the Stash 💯
Thank you Alexi for bringing my friends together and jamming out to this song all the time back in the day when we were wild teenagers trying to discover life. RIP
Alexi was the only person who inspire me to learn about guitar skills, techniques, scales, amps, gears.. and so on.. that man taught me A LOT. I was so SHOCKED when I heard the news.. are you kidding me 2021.. Rest In Peace Legend.. :(
Impression, that I've got when hear COB at the first time made me to start study guitar. He was my example for following: thin, hairy finnish guy that play guitar as hell. I wished to become just like he was one time. Rest it peace legend, rest in peace Alexi.
I regret the fact that i had never heard of this marvellous band, and i found out about it right now, when their front-man sadly passed away... That first riff was BRILLIANT... The vocals too... actually, everything was great! He will surely be missed... RIP Alexi. (by the way, the riff at 2:43 reminds me of System Of A Down's Roulette)
I´ve found Alexi and his Band right after my first concert I´ve ever been to (I was around 13). A very small metal 2day festival near my hometown where I bought my first band-shirt from this local underground band. After that I´ve checked out their website and found Children of Bodom under their Influences. This video was the first I watched from COB and man did it click with me. It was a perfect fit emotionally for me in my puberty and this band was one of the reasons, I got interested in Guitar playing. From Year to year, most of my progression came from playing children of bodom riffs which were very hard at the time and are still a challenge. Now I look at myself and Music making and everything around it is the best thing I could ever imagine.. So THANK YOU Alexi for starting this band with Janne and to inspire me basically half of my life and push myself to get better at playing! REST IN PEACE My idol..My hero
Alexi laiho was one of the most underrated guitarists of our lifetime. Yes he improvised a lot, yes sometimes he got carried away live. He will always be untouchable with his solos. his vocals were amazing but his solos is where he truly sang. I think any guitarist who listens to his solos would agree he had a crazy amount of expression through his vibrato and phrasing. Lexi. You will be missed. Rip my friend. I am truly torn up over this news
Dear master Alexi Laiho, your talent with the guitar, penatrating and obscure voice and your singular songs will live forever in our history and souls. Rest In Peace.
R.I.P. Alexi I just today found out you had died. It's hitting me hard to listen to this song, because you wrote it about yourself, if memory serves right. I wish I had taken the opportunity to see you guys live, the only time I ever saw that y'all were touring in Baltimore. This song and typing this comment is making me shed tears. Only other musician I had their death hit me to this level was Vinnie Paul. Forever in my heart. Never forgotten. Shred and growl the metal heavens into oblivion and don't stop there.
I remember this song from 10th grade haha I use to listen to this a lot..I haven't listened to this since then..haha the Nostalgia! This is a pretty good jam \m/
RIP Alexi
You will be missed

for sure man
Yep 🤘

Please please please haha

Tero Lehto Sori ei oo asiaa :(...
Sorry bro, Queen takes that title.
Um, have you heard of this little band named Led Zeppelin?
still cant belive this dude has gone
Alexi laiho was one of the most underrated guitarists of our lifetime. Yes he improvised a lot, yes sometimes he got carried away live. He will always be untouchable with his solos. his vocals were amazing but his solos is where he truly sang. I think any guitarist who listens to his solos would agree he had a crazy amount of expression through his vibrato and phrasing. Lexi. You will be missed. Rip my friend. I am truly torn up over this news
This guy brought me back to metal. Thank you Alexi, rest well brother.
10 years already...
Lilian Orth You from the future?
Aeons of Blight This song was out before it was on RUclips you know 😜

Lilian Orth Video is 2008. That's what matters lol. Haven't heard this in years. Getting nostalgia hardcore.
The song is 2006 and that's what it matters. _|_
Saubhagya Das Except this is a video.
RIP ALEXI. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
Dear master Alexi Laiho, your talent with the guitar, penatrating and obscure voice and your singular songs will live forever in our history and souls. Rest In Peace.
Alexi ,you will sorely be missed. Your music means so much to us. I can't believe you're gone. Rip .. gone that you will never be forgotten
Alexi спасибо тебе за твою музыку! Ты был одним из лучших! Покойся с миром

R.I.P. Alexi
I just today found out you had died. It's hitting me hard to listen to this song, because you wrote it about yourself, if memory serves right.
I wish I had taken the opportunity to see you guys live, the only time I ever saw that y'all were touring in Baltimore.
This song and typing this comment is making me shed tears. Only other musician I had their death hit me to this level was Vinnie Paul.
Forever in my heart. Never forgotten. Shred and growl the metal heavens into oblivion and don't stop there.
2024 amazing
R.I.P Alexi
I remember this song from 10th grade haha I use to listen to this a lot..I haven't listened to this since then..haha the Nostalgia! This is a pretty good jam \m/
Kellyn x This is a fucking amazing song! Groovy, intricate, melodic.... and of course balllllzzz!
Kellyn x Exactly the same as me, 2011 in grade 10 was it for me, but yeah, this song, plus majority of COB completed, and still does complete my life
Yep
I'm old I was out of high school before this song came out
Thank you for the Childhood, Alexi. Rest in Peace :(
For real, man. May his soul rest easy.
Rest in peace Alexi, your music was incredibly important to me growing up. Thank you.
Rest in power Alexi...many bodom fans are coming together to appreciate everything you gave us.

This goes hard as fuck and is dynamic as hell. How has this been kept from me so many years?
1:24 Sounds a ton like that main riff from Roulette by System Of A Down.
