Bodom After Midnight at the begining...

[@After9waves]

Now that he follows the reaper, I hope they're travelling to a better place. Thank you Alexi, a childhood idol to many

[@snooganslestat2030]

And as adults

[@charlys.6747]

I bet the Reaper kneeled in front of Alexi before taking him to the afterlife

Follow the reaper was absolute perfection. Guitar masterpiece

[@5ar_]

travis mmons The bible of guitar riffs. So many yummy riffs from this masterpiece

[@wildchild01ok]

Kissing the Shadows and Lake Bodom are their guitar masterpiece, just in my opinion.

[@angmori172]

Not just guitars. EVERYTHING was perfection on that album.

[@maximumguitarage]

Yes

[@trueviking5406]

Drink a lot of mead in Valhalla! You will always be remembered! Greetings from Norway!

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

Probably their best song, from their best album for sure.

[@luciavalentova2206]

Robbie Fitzgerald Hatebreeder is the best album but from follow the ripper is this best song

[@lashaxoperia5917]

No, Follow The Reaper is the best album, Hatebreeder is 2 nd or third. Some ppl think Hate Crew Deathroll is better than Hatebreeder. I love all those 3 albums very much

@Shane Stewart Yeah they do but this one takes the cake for me.

amen man

[@PeterParker-mp9nz]

Cant believe he passed away...Rest in peace, wildchild, youll never be forgotten. Love your music, you helped me a lot in very difficult times. CoB was a huge part of my youth and still to this date I listen to your records, especially the old ones! What a musician :( Once again: rest in peace...

[@lout9231]

Man. This man was my hero in my teens I’m so grateful to have seen bodom a bunch of times. Nothing has come close musically since in terms of their unique style!

[@FreedomKid7]

RIP Alexi. You were an undeniable icon

[@LaLuzNoDejaDePulsar]

Needed to watch this just to remind myself Gods never die! NEVER!

[@ToastedCigar]

An amazing song! One of my favourites from COB.

[@PegasusGamez]

Sad that so many people knows this band after Alexi died😢

[@blakestormcrow6275]

Agreed, but at least people are listening now. I first heard them in 2002/3 and was late to the party.

[@PegasusGamez]

@@blakestormcrow6275 yeah but their legacy will live 😊❤️

[@jannevaltee3663]

How is that sad? I've been on their gigs few times, i Loved it. When new fans come, great 😂

[@hevijeesus]

We lost him 4 years ago today, had to come here and watch this

[@melvinjayjabian505]

this what made me today. i loved metal because cob was my roots. you'll be loved alexi. rest in power

[@enricomadrigal9168]

Alexi was a genius, underrated for his guttural voice, but an extraordinary guitarist and composer. I listen to C.o.B. since I was 14 and now I'm 37 and my opinion about his brilliance has never changed.

[@MikeVomos]

Thank you for the best years and best music ever

[@mehdioffspring]

My throat is aching for trying to sing like him. What a human being. Lot of love for him and the band. Long live to COB forever and ever.

[@dknt2923]

This sort of singing shouldn't hit the throat at all.

[@giovana1610]

I'm devastated, farewell Alexi...rip

Glad I got to see you guys twice. This is my favourite album and one of the favourite songs from you. Thank you for the music and rest in peace Alexi! /,,/

[@brandoncolao3211]

I only got to see them play once in 2013, but it was a great show and such a solid performance. Alexi was truly special. Rest In Peace.

[@88Nyman]

Wild Child and COB at its finest, hell yeah!! Kiitos everyone for greatest Live show ever! Rest in Power, Allu 🖤🤍🙏🌟🇫🇮

[@maina1176]

I was class 7 or class 8 when I first listened to metal music. And COB was my most favourite band. I even got caught for exchanging CDs with my friends. Love you COB!

[@henrikkarlsen7632]

Alexi Laiho is in my opinion an extremely underrated guitarist. I hope he rests in peace wherever he is.

[@martinkingston1498]

Underrated! Dude he is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and one of the finest metal players. No one who knows anything about guitar underrates him.

[@conorhennell2623]

far from underrated lol, he inspired a whole generation of guitar players to pick up the guitar

[@Slop_Dog]

The GOAT guitarist of the 21st century as far as I'm concerned

[@HeartsOfFlesh]

First death metal song I ever heard on Comcast on demand over a decade ago. I blame and thank you for my addiction Alexi

[@nikoshatz27]

Excellent band. Thanks for the moments!!!

[@Electro9lanus]

Thanks for everything Alexi, will always remember you

[@UltraViolent21]

Damnit I miss you Alexi! I was at your first show in America in Austin. I got to play on that stage after you. You were a huge inspiration on my guitar playing. Legends will live forever. 🤘

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

I bet there was that one guy in the crowed who said "Yes" when Alexi asked if anybody wanted to go home and get some sleep

[@drgrimfist7437]

part always makes me feel so happy and so sad in one go, love these guys

[@MetallicBlack86]

The Coolest part I've Seen In The Band Is That Their Fans Just Love Them Even if the lead singer is focusing on his guitar and singing at the same time instead of concerntrating on the crowd...he is really a a great guy and to the rest of the band...their fantastic

[@ДеянАнгелов-ь6ф]

Will miss you Alexi

[@Dracing64]

Thank you Alexi, you saved my life.

[@Animeaddict009]

How he could sing and play rythym and kead like that is mind blowing.

[@JackPecker911]

This band really was world class for a short period of time

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Damn, I miss this era of COB! They were more melodic and creative back then, and on "Follow The Reaper", they had perfected it all. With songs like Everytime I Die, Bodom After Midnight, Mask Of Sanity, Children Of Decadence, Hate Me, Follow The Reaper & Taste Of My Scythe, COB created something beautiful :o -They are still good, but have become too mainstream I think, taking the more extreme approach musically :/

[@Mohamedmifxal]

Barış Arda Aslan well few bands are like Ulver in perfecting different types of music without going to easy generic stuff. but that's their right anyway.

[@rafisuvo1190]

Blo0dredRidingHo0d wht ever that is; i rarely have any idea of music terms, but i like that 23 sec in all video..... their stage performances r better than their album performances- its my personal opinion. but i like their sounds better than any other except LP, lol thank for reply and thank u. :)

[@mrdubachery]

It honestly must have been a quagmire for them to prepare for this filming. They knew it was for the DVD, so they wanted to be at their best. On one hand, "don't be drunk" may be the obvious wisdom. But on the other hand, they were usually lit before hitting the stage, and during the set, so what if not being "drunk enough" threw off their performance? Whatever balance they decided on, they nailed it, because this DVD is nearly flawless. RIP Alexi
