Segue Myles Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I loved their music in my teens. Haven't followed Children Of Bodom's career since around 2010. Terribly sad news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I was never a big fan but the band did have a unique sound. I saw them live a few years ago opening for Megadeth. Pretty sure I have seen them another time or two at a festival. They were enjoyable live. He was a pretty good guitarist. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I haven't listened to their stuff for quite a while but this is terribly sad news about one so young. RIP Alexi Laiho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I have definitely heard that album and some others that came after it. They just never stuck with me. Maybe it was the vocals because musical they were very good. They just didn't have that "yeah, I gotta hear this again" feel for me whenever I was through listening to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystal Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I have heard of his band but I don't own any of their music. I remember seeing their name on a poster on a campus bulletin board. Edited January 5, 2021 by Krystal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a 2008 release, wasn't keen. And then the next one was flat for me and I just gave up. And now, I still love to play the early stuff but it's not hitting the same way it did when it felt new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've been sorry, to hear, see, and read this. At 41 for passing away, it is a young age to do so. He should be missed. My condolences, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Alexi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
