@@derdenserr to be honest, it was a quite normal, humble apartement in Espoo, near Helsinki. He had a Sauna (like everyone in Finland 😆) in the bathroom, Playboy magazines on the floor, lots of COB Posters on the wall and travelling bags everywhere 😉 on the Tv there was, of course, Icehockey 😉 one of my friends was a huuuge CoB Fan so this night and meeting Alexi was a dream that came true for him... we were lucky to get to know Alexis best friend and we hung out with her while we were in Helsinki. When Alexi called her and she told him that she was with us,he told her that he would love to meet us,so we got a taxi a drove to his flat the next day😉

I only gave CoB (among many other similar bands) a chance recently after shunning metal my whole life. This guy is my favorite composer and guitarist in the genre so far. Not necessarily the very best one (I don't play the guitar so it's hard for me to gauge skill accurately, although it's obvious that he was well above average to say the least), and I'm not a huge fan of the style he chose for most of his vocals, but I just love his riffs and solos.

The new song is amazing!!!! It's like a mix of Lil' Bloodred Ridin' Hood, Not my Funeral, Mask of Sanity, thrashed lost and Strungout, follow the reaper. The drums might be the best part and really compliment Alexi's riffs/songwriting. Guitar solo is melodic and technical as you'd expect from Alexi but Daniel even gets time to shine. Keyboards are pushed back in the song to accompaniment rather than being a lead instrument. It's sad how much potential this band had. Alexi still had so much more music left to give the world and judging from this song Bodom after Midnight would have had a long career. Going to have this on repeat for days 🤘 It is awesome that Alexi was able to record two new songs before his death but its equally sad that this is the last music we will hear from him. I'm still in shock. Alexi was a guitar hero in every way who inspired so many with his music. He will be remembered. RIP Alexi

He knew that everyone, the critics, the media and even metalheads were expecting a Bodom Clone. He knew that he couldn't hold back and gave it everything he had. I dare say that as he got older, he was getting more feirce unlike the rest of the original Bodom crew who were becoming more mellow with each album. Look at the drummer or the bassist from CoB... the bassist especially joined some sad glam band that sounds like something a teenage girl would listen to or something. Alexi didn't fade away, the man went out with a bang! Rest in Paradise, Alexi

This removes all doubt. He had so much more still to say with his music. Rest in power, Wildchild. I joined a band and got involved in my local scene because I got to see you play.

What did you hear*

[@warren54]

I nearly cried watching this. What a way to end off his career. I was so happy when I saw this song was nearly 5 minutes, I knew that we were in for a treat. I was so happy but also heartbroken that we got to see Alexi perform one more guitar flip at 2:50 That nearly sent me over the edge that I had to pause and watch it again. I could hear several of their albums mixed into this one song. I could hear the melodies of Something Wild, the hatred riffs and chants of Hatebreeder, the vicious neo-classical harmonies of Follow The Reaper, the intensity and aggression of Hate Crew Deathroll, the heavy simplicity of Are You Dead Yet?, the chromatic chord progressions of Blooddrunk, the grooviness and rock of Relentless Reckless Forever, the technical heaviness of Halo Of Blood, the emotional and intense energy of I Worship Chaos, and finally, the heavy rock and roll sendoff finale of Hexed. Rest In Peace, our dear Alexi Laiho. You will never be forgotten. It was a pleasure meeting you, even if it was only once, but I’m so happy that I was finally able to tell you that I love you and that you are my inspiration and idol that I look up to. Thank you for telling me what my favorite song was about, even if it was personal to you, and even though you couldn’t say much about it, I’m still happy that I know the overall meaning.

It is only after almost 3 years after Alexi's passing I could bring myself to watch this MV I can see that his body is weak, that he's tired. Yet despite that, you can still see the fire burning in him, flame that has driven him trough his whole career You can see that despite everything, he's still willing to put on the best show he possibly can. And who knows, maybe deep inside he knew that the end might be near. But that didn't stop him He will forever be an absolute legend, one of the best guitarists and vocalists of all time Rest In Peace, Wildchild. You will be missed

He had a natural talent and hard training as well as a desire to be the best in the world produced results and Laiho became the best metal guitarist of his time. Laiho will be remembered forever as one of the most significant people in the world of the metal scene and the best guitarist. Rest in peace, countryman🇫🇮🕯🕊

Looking at Daniel insta where one of the things alexi said to Dan was that they would continue and play to the grave ... and the fact that alexi just didnt just say and actually meant every word .. he lived by his word .. forgetting the fact that he is one of the all time guitarist ever, this man devoted his life to the music he loved and for his fans to death ...

@@EmpyreanLightASMR He was a God amongst men, his level of skill and ability and the way he affected and influenced the metal industry is unparalleled. I am disappointed that I never got around to seeing COB live 😔 but I am grateful for all the music they gave, and despite he was clearly deteriorating in the last few years, he pushed through to give us amazing music.
