Well this came out of the blue. Finnish media is reporting news from his managing agency that Alexi Laiho is dead at 41, passed away last week. His old Children of Bodom bandmates confirm the news.

This is sad as hell, but not really a surprise, I guess. Dude was unhealthy as gently caress and been a raging alcoholic since his teens. COB was my gateway drug into death metal. Rip guy.

drat, a lot of us cut our teeth on Children of Bodom when it came to getting into more “extreme” metal back in the day. This is really sad news. He was so young.

No matter what you thought of their music, Alexi was an undisputedly excellent song writer and guitarist, and I'm another person who had their entire appreciation for new forms of music shaped by CoB's earlier albums. RIP

I was never a fan, but I respect CoB for their role in the Finnish metal scene. This loving sucks.  And I never realised he was only three years older than me (EDIT: Consequently I also now realise he was just 18 when they released their debut).

Also this, they certainly played a big part in getting me over my intolerance for harsher vocals. I never got super into them but I remember digging songs like Downfall despite hating the vocals. It was other bands that finally broke the bank, but CoB laid a lot of the groundwork, so to speak. Nordick fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Jan 4, 2021 |

I found out that one of my favorite coworkers died, and then like 30 minutes later, this. Mondays, amirite?   Geisladisk posted:This is sad as hell, but not really a surprise, I guess. Dude was unhealthy as gently caress and been a raging alcoholic since his teens. The last time I saw him, which was at least 10 years ago, he looked really terrible. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd died then, but by now he'd slipped off of my radar so it's more of a terrible surprise that it would have been. Kvlt! posted:I've never listened to CoB besides their Britney cover, what should I listen to to start? That cover is dire. You should probably listen to anything else.

kumba posted:that's a weird way to spell Hate Crew Deathroll Yeah I'm a big Hatecrew Deathroll fan. It's the one I got into first and I think it holds up better than their earlier stuff. Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper are great and I even really like Are You Dead Yet? but Hatecrew will always be my go-to. They were great live, too. Saw them and Amon Amarth back in '06 and it was definitely one of my favorite shows.

I've gone through Something Wild and halfway thru Hatebreeder - these albums are still loving solid after more than 2 decades. It's insane how time flies.

There's something about it I love, the production is just so 'slapped together in a rehearsal room' sounding, then those kick drum triggers just absolutely tear through the mix.

You cracked my metal cherry, too. It was that similar early 2000s setup - Hate Crew Deathroll, Dark Tranquillity, and then Opeth's Blackwater Park.

Bodom was my transition from Maiden and Megadeth into more extreme music, and solely responsible for power metal, melodeath and later meloblack being my absolute favorite styles of music. Extremely hard RIP, I'll be listening to them all day.

Laiho was a huge influence on my guitar playing as a teenager, reinforcing the melodic aspects I learned from Maiden and acting as a gateway to melodic death later Big RIP to a real one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjZhwCM88pA (I still can't believe that Yngwie outlived him)

Ah, hell, this sucks. Like a lot of others, CoB helped me graduate to more extreme metal back in high school. I saw them supporting Megadeth a few years back and have a very vivid memory of the place erupting as soon as the opening riff to "Are You Dead Yet?" kicked in. Simply surreal to 18 year old me. R.I.P. Alexi, I'll rock the I Worship Chaos t-shirt today.

Saw CoB for my first ever show in high school, along with Iced Earth & Evergrey. Alexi was visibly drunk as gently caress then too and it blew my mind that he was still shredding like it didn't matter at all. That guy was talented as hell. Listening to Follow the Reaper right now at work, wanna belt out some "YOW YOWS" but that will have to wait for the drive home later.

My girlfriend in high school was obsessed with Alexi and Children of Bodom was also one of my gateway bands into metal proper. I saw them in 2005 in Denver with Amon Amarth and Trivium (ick) opening for them. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they were all wasted for that show. I still have the copy of Guitar World with him, Steve Vai, and Zakk Wylde on the cover. rip to a fuckin legend Star Man fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Jan 4, 2021 |
