Useless fact: the name Children Of Bodom comes from one of the most famous unsolved homicide cases in Finnish criminal history called Lake Bodom murders .
This is by far my favorite metal band. When we were deployed in Afghanistan, my Marines and I discovered them and would play their music right before patrol while gearing up.
I personally love blooddrunk album that this is from..but I'd prolly never show someone their music for the first time from it...follow the reaper or hate crew deathroll or even are you dead yet would be much more fitting to show how insanely talented and amazing this band is. MY FAV BAND out of all dem bands in the world..
I agree. Especially if someone is not used to listen to metal music, Blooddrunk is quite a punch in your face as it is the most aggressive album. Mainstream listeners should start with Hatecrew, AYDY and Relentless as introductions. But when you got into their music, Blooddrunk is definitely top 5.
My personal choice for introducing someone to Bodom would be "Are You Dead Yet?". It's how I got into them, found it on Limewire right about the time it was released as a single and never looked back. So fucking glad I got to see them live once. Still rock the band T I got there all the time.
One of my first songs of theirs along with If You Want Peace Prepare For War, Done With Everything Die for Nothing, and Sixpounder. Oh and Punch Me I Bleed as well.
Alexi was the only hero to me. He was the reason I picked up guitar playing. Been listening full COB albums from the beginning but I've only managed to listen the 1st one fully. Had to stop in the middle of the 2nd. I'd always thought that one day I'll read the news that Alexi is dead but I did not expect it to be so soon. I was so stoked about his new band Bodom After Midnight and was raring to see them live later this year RIP Alexi
Alexi was such a badass guitar player. I was mostly into punk music when I first saw Needled 24/7 on MTV2. Although I dabbled with some death metal like Death or At the Gates at the time, COB is what really furthered my interest into the genre. RIP Alexi.
Great song to pick from mid-late Bodom! Has a classic Alexi double note riff before the solos and it has both a guitar and a keyboard solo to showcase!
I'd go with older, more classic stuff from first 4 albums for newbies. Lake Bodom, Silent night Bodom night, Bed of razors, Downfall, Follow the reaper, Needled 24/7 etc.
Agreed. Blooddrunk is nowhere near their best album, and doesn't necessarily show how talented Alexi really was. Also it doesn't really have any neo classical elements, which is one thing that helped Bodom gain notoriety.
Actually I met Laiho's childhood friend. About 1 year ago, world is small. I was about to end my shift, and she noticed my COB shirt. And stared talk about metal music etc. And Roope Latvala also played in COB. Originally he played in Stone. And Stone made one song and at the same time Metallica made similar song and they had argument very long time. ( it's a rumor, and we never know)
I don't think it's really settled in with me that he's truly gone. He's my absolute favorite modern metal guitar player. I think the only thing that kept COB from being absolutely huge are the vocals. Had they been a bit more melodic or clear (maybe more thrash than death/black), this music and playing is very accessible (as long as you are into metal). Hopefully the record company releases the completed tracks from Bodom After Midnight (Alexi's band after COB broke up); supposedly they had a few songs and a video completed.
COB was the first band I've ever listened to.😞 R.I.P. Alexi. If you wanna hear more bands with a keyboard player, then I suggest Stratovarius. They have my all time favorite keyboard player Jens Johansson who also played with Yngwie Malmsteen and the keyboard player of COB was heavily influenced by him. Maybe try out Stratovarius - Elements.
my dudes i am not a metal fan at all but even myself owned one CD from them at a time hate crew deathroll i guess the album was and i can tell it was so freaking gud even i hate metal but that one actuelly got me since i am a trance and hardhouse person this was the closest to my heart with some of the same carnival metal thingy i tried dragoonforce to but dident give me the same vibe i actuelly vibed to this like when i listen to trance and harderhouse music it is almost like techno metal i absoulutely loved it RIP the guitaris tough he was so gud one of the best in the world i heard or read even my favorite allways was needled 24/7 it got the lyrics i can tell
@@JabbyMayo Songs like Lake Bodom and Follow the reaper got me into COB and death metal twenty years ago. Those melodies were just so amazing I could get over harsh vocals.

AAAnd, dude you show em the one song, thats the opener to the album(still really love this song but) that doesn't carry one of alexis infamous very top of the guitar world skilled, guitar solos..CMON DAAAVVVEHHHH. Must do more from COB, especially since his death
I'd be curious to know... how many people in this comment section originally learned about Children Of Bodom from Bam Margera/Viva La Bam? Or at least, Americans in the comment section. I know that was the first time I heard them, along with plenty of other bands he featured on the show.... hearing them just brings back major middle school/early high school nostalgia.
I'm American, but I first heard of them when my friends in high school showed me Bed of Razors, Downfall, and Towards Dead End. Wasn't till years later when I hear them on viva la bam. I liked em much more when they has the neo classic elements, before they got super heavy.
American hear. I do have Viva La Bam to thank for a lot of music but COB isn’t one of them. Out of all the possibilities, it was rock band and guitar hero that introduced me to COB
Also, you're talking about a band that completely changed its style throughout the years..something wild and hatebreeder are so dark and neoclassical, strong hints of black metal, so the atmosphere is amazing. Then after that the production kicks it up for the next couple albums and blows everyone away in musicianship to their degrees of solos what not..then they get more song n riff oriented with are you dead yet and blooddrunk, but Are you Dead Yet is a MUCH better album..again, if tho I love blooddrunk still, aydy is still the very top of their game while blooddrunk isn't exactly.
if i could make a reaction suggestion, check out the song Bismarck from the Swedish Power Metal band Sabaton. All of their songs are about incredible military history moments. this songs is about the final fight of the WW2 German Battleship Bismarck, using live action and CGI re-enactments thanks to the company WarGaming and their game World of Warships. you gotta react to this. ruclips.net/video/QBs64WXToL0/видео.html
ok you want keyboard with metal and something epic nobody would think you'd react to? and the keyboardist is a woman... react to Chthonic - Progeny of Rmdax tasing. Or Stormlord - under the boards. If you want full symphonic black metal thats modern. check out wolves in the throne room - Born in the serpentine's eye

.
One of the strangest murders in criminal history. No conceivable motive either.
R.I.P. Alexi "Wild Child" Laiho \m/
Alexi laiho made me love metal music.. Miss him.. RIP 😞

I wasn’t a fan of his band but god damn that dude could play guitar.

It’s all about Living Dead Beat or Hatecrew Deathroll.
Edit: I could rob a bank to “Are You Dead Yet” though, that shit shreds.

I hear Bodom After Midnight finished 3 songs and one music video, so hopefully it won't be too long until we hear those.
@@JeremyBarbell They will release them. Just don't know when yet
Great song to pick from mid-late Bodom! Has a classic Alexi double note riff before the solos and it has both a guitar and a keyboard solo to showcase!
But blood drunk was by far not as good as the albums before
@@saikaito2159 it was a step up from Are You Dead Yet
Please react to Sixpounder, Downfall, Are you dead yet, or follow the reaper by children of Bodom .... Great songs .... RIP Alexi.
Miss You Wildchild 🇫🇮🤘💔
this song get blood running my veins like bullet train. thanx to great reaction and of course rip alexi. thanx and have great year 2021.
I remember meeting Alexi Liaho in 2010 at Bloodstock open-air. Lovely chap and incredible musician.
I'd go with older, more classic stuff from first 4 albums for newbies. Lake Bodom, Silent night Bodom night, Bed of razors, Downfall, Follow the reaper, Needled 24/7 etc.

Strongly agreed. Rip Alexi, my childhood hero.
@@JeremyBarbell still better than halo of blood and i worship chaos. And not a bad album at all.
@@Celatra I agree completely. So many people love Halo of Blood and I don't understand why.
@@JeremyBarbell but I for one like Relentless Reckless Forever
Cob machine head slipknot in London was one of the best gigs ever!!!! Rip 🤘😪

Gotta show these guys some of the older stuff with prime Alexi. Downfall and Bodom After Midnight have such fucking good solos.
R.I.P. Alexi
R.I.P to the GOD Alexi laiho
I buy a guitar bcz of him ... Alexi got me into metal music i can't believe that he died so young im so sad 💔💔💔 broken 🖤

For rest of the non metal fan crew, Everytime I die, or Needled 24/7 can be easier entrance songs into COB
Angels Don't Kill probably the easiest for newbies to get into

Please react to black - pearl jam (mtv unplugged). Eddie is one of the best vocalists and you gotta see this performance
Its Children of bodom from fucking Finland!
you should listen to WAVES by Normani and LOVE LANGUAGE by Queen Naija
Cob = Vikings on rush.
SHow em downfall and everytime I die and sixpounder nooow ha

French revolution by oversimplified next?

Interesting song choice, but nevertheless Bodom.
He sang of his demise. Unfortunately 🤦♂️
If you want brutally heavy. Slaughter to prevail - demolisher
TWO.H - BREAK IT DOWN (BEATBOX REMIX react pls!!
:(
Wtf is this ?????
