[@falcoperegrinus82]

@@NastyfoxChannel I think he fucked it up because he's not used to playing it at that tempo. When you're used to playing something fast and practicing it for so long at speed, it can actually be harder to play it slower.

RIP Alexi, my biggest idol. This is painful to watch as you probably can put together why he was allready really bad here. I remember watching this some months ago and feeling like shit because he felt so out of shape, never ever would I imagine that he would DIE some months later. Total shocker, and Ozzy still lives talk about irony..

Alexi should pick up those kids an reform his band as: "Kids of Bodom"

[@sabonesjones]

Kids is just another way of saying the word children. So he would just be starting another band with the same name but said differently. No thanks lol, if I was one of those kids I'd be headbanging they look so bored. Im a huge bodom fan and Alexi is one of my idols on guitar. Idk they just don't look like they're having fun or starstruck that they're fucking playing a bodom song with Alexi laiho!! And he had to slow the song down for them which ruined it and you can tell alexi even had trouble singing the song slower. He picked some noobs to play with him besides the drummer whos actually keeping ryhthm.

[@ExploretheBOX]

"Alexi ´n´ the childrens" XD

[@sabonesjones]

@Sinister King nah not really, I've seen bodom plenty of times and met them all at their "are you dead yet" cd release. Got pictures with them all and got to speak to each of them. Im good my friend, just pains me to see a bunch of kids fuck it up and don't even seem excited to be there with laiho.
