I can proudly say that maybe i was the very few people in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 who would listen to your music Alexi❤️. This was the one song that made me become a fan. Rest in peace hero!/m\!
It’s so great to see COB fans everywhere around the world! Alexi’s music has touched, inspired and changed so many lives. Can you imagine what an impact one man can have in this world..? All the best to you my brother, I wish you can share this music with some of your friends so more people in Afghanistan can enjoy this amazing music. 🙏
Wären nicht ein Dutzend weniger im Metal angekommen, wenn es ihn und seine Band in den 90ern/2000ern nicht gegeben hätte? Das rote, grüne und blaue Album (so nannte ich sie immer geflissentlich) sind Gold in Reinform und für viele Inbegriff von Kinder- und Jugendjahren. Dieses Album ist ein Meilenstein und für viele das Opus magnum der Band, gleißend-sternengrell und mit einer detailbesessenen Landschaft an Kompositionen gespickt, dass es sich im Durchlauf mit seiner brachialen Energie fühlbar fast alle fünf Minuten selbst übertrifft. Die vorangegangenen Werke standen im selben Fahrwasser, aber das 2000er-Album hat in meinen Augen die größte magische Komponente zuwege gebracht, unermüdliche Tonschöpfungen aufbereitet und nicht zu vergessen: punktgenau und eklatant zerschreddert. Teilweise so akribisch, dass es bis heute beispiellos bleibt... Werde nie vergessen, wie das allererste Anspielen dieser Platte sich anfühlte, während man versuchte, sich auf dem Cover zurechtzufinden und dabei einem dieser See-, Fluss- und Wassergeruch aus dem Bild förmlich um die Nase wehte. Schmerzlicherweise war es ihr letztes Album mit dieser nordisch-mystischen, aber auch chaotisch-geordneten Atmosphäre. Ich kann mich an kein weiteres Album erinnern, wo das nochmal in dieser Art durchsickerte. Das darauffolgende (orangene) Album hatte zwar auch noch das Herz am rechten Fleck, obwohl es fast ausschließlich diesen asphaltgrauen, quecksilbrigen Beton-Charakter in überbordender Weise auslebte, doch ich war im Nachhinein nie böse, dass es kontemporär sein wollte. Es hatte mitunter heute, 18 Jahre später, den Blick auf die Vergangenheit ebenso mitgestaltet und dem musikalischen Verständnis ein besonderes Gepräge verliehen (egal in welche musikalische Richtung die eigenen Interessen später Einzug hielten). Auch wenn die Erinnerungen mit der Zeit blasser werden, halte ich daran fest, wie wir diese zwei Tonträger (Blau und Orange) im Musik-Lädchen unserer langweiligen, kleinen Stadt an einer Ausprobier-Theke über die dort angeschlossenen, ranzigen Lederkopfhörer stundenlang aufsogen - Zwischen Schule und eigenen Problemen. Ein Gefühl von Zeitlosigkeit. Und es hat unheimlich geprägt. Die Jahre sind so schnell vergangen. Einfach schon 2022... Was für eine intensive Erinnerung, die ganzen Alben noch einmal in ihrem Urzustand herauszuholen und dabei an diese Tage zu denken. Dort waren Dinger drauf, die kannst du nicht in Worte fassen, wenn du die Zeit miterlebt hast. Wenn du dann noch gesehen hast, dass der das in Live-Präsenzen 1:1 unter Dach und Fach bringt, hattest du Ehrfurcht. Dass das nicht immer so bleiben würde, hatte man mindestens ein paar Mal im Gefühl, spätestens jedoch nach dem Mitschnitt auf Trashed, lost & strungout und weiteren Promo-Dingern mal mehr, mal weniger zähneknirschend verinnerlicht. Und dieses Gefühl ging nie richtig weg. Bis so ein Zustand sich ins Image verschiebt und in der Regelmäßigkeit der Interviews nicht einmal mehr bedenklich wirkt. Ich denke, mit der Zwischenphase kam auch herber Stilbruch und die Lossagung vom Potenzial. Rückschauend betrachtet, könnte man sich eingestehen, dass all das bereits vorzeiten dahinführte, wo es heutigentags sein Ende nahm. Aber darüber möchte ich nicht urteilen... Ich werde den Typen nie vergessen. Er war schon vor seinem Tod die größte Legende. Kompletter Inbegriff seiner Musik... Auf Wiedersehen, Alexi Laiho.
This was one of the very first songs I ever heard from you guys, and I was HOOKED. So very grateful to have had the chance to meet you all in Charlotte in 2019, yet sad that it would be my last CoB show. R.I.P. Alexi, your legendary music will live on forever. 🤘
I got to see that tour. I wanted to see swallow the sun again and seeing CoB was a "bonus" seeing them life was mind blowing. Alexi was so incredible flying all over killing it never seen so much talent on stage and I am a huge metal head and I go to lots of shows! So thankful to have seen the whole band kill it.
Same here bro.First song I heard that got me into melodic death metal in 2008.Was searching for random metal videos in TH-cam and got this song.Was a fan of Metallica that time and became a hardcore COB fan after this song.Didnt listen to Metallica from then onwards.Only COB, sometimes amon amarth,in flames and arch enemy.Used to hear COB everytime while going to college, studying,eating,drinking, sometimes sleeping too .You owe me alexi. U ARE NOT DEAD YET. you will stay forever in our hearts .RIP legend
The faint blaze of the candle of my life Slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain No sparks of hope inside No shooting stars on my sky On broken wings, no flying high Another night, another demise Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice You'll let the wind blow out the light 'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die Out of strength to fight I cannot take another night I cannot take it no more Lust of light slips through my fingers Like blood on my arms Black candle wax has buried me Another night, another demise Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice You'll let the wind blow out the light 'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die
A chapter called " Alexi Laiho ". What a musician, What a guitar Hero, What a showman... What an History... Thank you for all this FUCKING MUSIC My friend. RIP
I searched for Children of Bodom and found that all these songs were released at least 14 years ago. I didn't know that Wildchild had died! #RIP Legend. This heavy metallic band will always be in my memory, just like you!
This song was released in 2000, so 23 years ago, and at that point it was their third release, first one being back in 97. I first heard them when their second album was released in 99, "Hatebreeder", it was like one month after my 15th birthday. I met Alexi Laiho back in 2004. I saw them one more time in 2005. They played with Hypocrisy, Cannibal Corpse, Dimmu Borgir not sure which years they played with which bands, it was fun though for sure. Music sure has changed. It makes me feel old that you think 14 years is a long time, and that this album came out 9 years earlier than what you had thought originally. This is a good classic album that stands the test of time. Seeing them live was hit or miss because Alexi Laiho was a severe alcoholic, it affected his stage performance, but their studio work was amazing. Too bad he died, just a few years older than me. I am lucky I quit drinking and using, or my son is anyway.
One of the best iconic death metal frontman of all time left us too soon! Miss you wildchild! Rest In Peace Alexi.. you will never ever be forgotten.. legends never die
Last true icon of Rock N' Roll, who brought Melodic Death Metal to another level. Such talent appears out there once in a generation dudes. But it's so good to us that his fame let him shine in his creative times. R.I.P. Alexi. Thanks for teaching me all of those sick guitar techniques in your guitar videos.
I use to take them for granted. Always thought the wild child would be with us. Listen to whatever music you like. See and support the artist when you can
12 years I was at the school talent show playing this on my brand new double kick pedals I got 2nd place because girls and popularity exists more, one of them came up to me and gave me their chocolates they won because they thought it wasn't fair as she was amazed Thank you Children Of Bodom for getting me through school and the toughest years of my youth ❤💚💙 My most sincere condolences to Laiho last family and friends. An amazing guitarist with the greatest influence, Mozart (as Amadeus was his favourite movie I believe).
My fucking heart broked today this is whole my teenage life best years and he passed away so fucking soon 41 man :( 41 com`n R.I.P you will always be the guitar god for me and whole your band the best melodic death metal band ever
This was the first video and song I ever heard of a metal band. I was totally oblivious of this genre. And this completely blew me away. I fell instantly in love. I soon became a metalhead, bought this album, still carved in my soul, a COB fan, more a hate crew member. Alexi was and will still be my idol. A humble, fun and insanely talented man. I'm always gonna miss him. Love you Wildchild 🖤 Thank you for everything and rest in peace. Until we meet again 🤘
2:41 I don't know if it's my age or the memories i have when I bought this CD circa 2000 and showing my friends but this timestamp riff hits me hard. I almost start crying. Such a great band and a good memory I have with this album. I just want to go back to this and rediscover it again. RIP Alexi. We miss you like you wouldn't belive.
15 years ago I found COB with this song and I fell in love with their music at the same moment. I thought they were so dark, so reckless, so insanely professional and so cool. I used to love Finland for eons and seeing finnish skilled cool band was the top of my discoveries. Their music sounds like my inner self, if I was able to play music it would sounds the same. They all were so perfect to me. I used to follow them for all these years, Alexi was my ultimate idol, so perfect, yet so humble. Now, 3 years after his death I still can't watch this video. My first COB video. I got my memorable tattoo for him, I traveled 6500km to light a candle on his grave, but I turned my eyes back then when reaper cut him, not being able to watch, I do it today again, when he is not here anymore. I'm saying all this because if I keep it inside I may explode, and I;m sure some other Hate Crew also feel like this. Alexi gave us purpose, all of us. He was unstoppable. Yet he was a human, broken, hurt, surviving and making changes, in music, in life, his, and all of us too. Thank you, Alexi, your Hate Crew will make sure your legacy will never die. Rest in peace my friend.
Children of Bodom helped me get through 12th grade and basically shaped who I am today. RIP Alexi Laiho. Thank you for your talent. The metal world will never forget you.
Man I remember when I listen to this band when I was just a little kid, just because my dad would get drunk and put on loud music, it's 2024 and I'm still listening to Children Of Bodom and I don't regret a damn thing for my choices of music
I have an album full of pictures from him, i was obsessed with him as a teenager and got so sad when i saw him so thin and pale due to his health issues :(
The faint blaze of the candle of my life, slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain. No sparks of hope inside, no shooting stars on my sky. On broken wings, no flying high... Another night, another demise, Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice... I'll let the wind blow out the light cause its gets more painful every time I die. Out of strength to fight. I cannot take another night. I cannot take it no more. Lust of light slips through my fingers like blood on my arms. Black candle wax has buried me... Another night, another demise, Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice... I'll let the wind blow out the light cause its gets more painful every time I die.
I will never forget the guy that brought me into this beautiful music. Coming back from school and listening to COB at full volume, I miss that time. Rest in peace, Laiho. Thank u for ur music that helped me through tough times
R.I.P. Alexi. I literally just found out about your passing 30 minutes ago. I'm in shock. You will be sorely missed! One of the greatest lead metal guitar players
This is the first guitar legend that has died in my lifetime that is younger than I am. When Chuck and Dimebag died, they were older than me and both were younger than Alexi. This is a huge loss.
Still remember, went to local store to listen some heavy metal CD:s (yes in back days it was the only way to listen something new). He gave me the single something wild. Love at first sight. Then it was year like 97 or 98 in Jyväskylä finland, children of bodom and Nightwish did the gig together, maybe the crowd was about 300-500. Those were the days, I can tell you that 💪.
Dear master Alexi Laiho, your talent with the guitar, penatrating and obscure voice and your singular songs will live forever in our history and souls. Rest In Peace.
Just wanna say ... now "everytime i cry" since you're gone way to soon, one of the best lead guitarists of all time ... and this song still my favourite one...
From discovering this song as track #3 on a metal mp3 cd 16 years ago... Tracing to its band and rest of albums... Becoming Hatecrew... Picking up Guitar... Making Alexi my idol... Seeing him perform live under plastic tents on a rainy night... Not giving up on us... To hearing he is no more... Marks end to a part of my life... Rip dude... U gave it all... Still gonna keep listening to u everytime You die 🤘🏼
Man this is the real shit. Is started my metal adventure wirh iron maiden, and found children of bodom along the way. I strayed away to more music genres, but in the end, at the end of the night, i always listen to children of bodom. May alexi rest in piece.
I remember discovering this band (via this song) in high school, back in like 2001. This was before there were streaming services, so I downloaded this album randomly because the name sounded cool to me. My friend and I played this song first, and within 15 seconds we looked at each other and went "holy shit". We were hooked. It opened us up to an entire new genre of metal, and I'm so thankful.

The faint blaze of the candle of my life
Slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain
No sparks of hope inside
No shooting stars on my sky
On broken wings, no flying high
Another night, another demise
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice
You'll let the wind blow out the light
'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die
Out of strength to fight
I cannot take another night
I cannot take it no more
Lust of light slips through my fingers
Like blood on my arms
Black candle wax has buried me
Another night, another demise
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice
You'll let the wind blow out the light
'Cause it gets more painful everytime I die
The chorus is so fucking good. Lyrically and musically.
Forgot the yaow jk
"another night another demise" another year another demise!! it's hard to believe he is no more (April 8,1979-January 3,2021)
He died last week, in the wretched 2020.
His death is not january 3, that is only the date of the news.

2:41 I don't know if it's my age or the memories i have when I bought this CD circa 2000 and showing my friends but this timestamp riff hits me hard. I almost start crying. Such a great band and a good memory I have with this album. I just want to go back to this and rediscover it again.
RIP Alexi. We miss you like you wouldn't belive.
15 years ago I found COB with this song and I fell in love with their music at the same moment. I thought they were so dark, so reckless, so insanely professional and so cool. I used to love Finland for eons and seeing finnish skilled cool band was the top of my discoveries.
Their music sounds like my inner self, if I was able to play music it would sounds the same. They all were so perfect to me. I used to follow them for all these years, Alexi was my ultimate idol, so perfect, yet so humble.
Now, 3 years after his death I still can't watch this video. My first COB video. I got my memorable tattoo for him, I traveled 6500km to light a candle on his grave, but I turned my eyes back then when reaper cut him, not being able to watch, I do it today again, when he is not here anymore.
I'm saying all this because if I keep it inside I may explode, and I;m sure some other Hate Crew also feel like this.
Alexi gave us purpose, all of us. He was unstoppable. Yet he was a human, broken, hurt, surviving and making changes, in music, in life, his, and all of us too.
Thank you, Alexi, your Hate Crew will make sure your legacy will never die.
Rest in peace my friend.
We lost one of the greatest and now he’s a Legend.
RIP Alexi Laiho 😞🤘
Children of Bodom helped me get through 12th grade and basically shaped who I am today. RIP Alexi Laiho. Thank you for your talent. The metal world will never forget you.
Man I remember when I listen to this band when I was just a little kid, just because my dad would get drunk and put on loud music, it's 2024 and I'm still listening to Children Of Bodom and I don't regret a damn thing for my choices of music
Legends Never Die!!!!!! You helped me through my early years of life. forever grateful. rest in peace king
Rest in peace Lord Alexi Laiho - a masterful and talented guitarist from this planet! Grateful to have seen him in 2008 at Wacken.
My teenages and first crush died today.
I have an album full of pictures from him, i was obsessed with him as a teenager and got so sad when i saw him so thin and pale due to his health issues :(
@@examichelle Same here. Besides being sad, I was also scared that this day would come when I saw his 3 years ago unhealthy look.
What was wrong with him?
@@carnivorechaos Alexi? He passed away sadly. They have announced to media today but they say he passed away last week.
Did he have cancer or something?
This song deserves billion views
Every time i like 😊❤
RIP WILDCHILD your musical influence will not be forgotten.
Godspeed
The faint blaze of the candle of my life,
slowly dying like a fire in a pouring rain.
No sparks of hope inside,
no shooting stars on my sky.
On broken wings, no flying high...
Another night, another demise,
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
I'll let the wind blow out the light
cause its gets more painful every time I die.
Out of strength to fight.
I cannot take another night.
I cannot take it no more.
Lust of light slips through my fingers
like blood on my arms.
Black candle wax has buried me...
Another night, another demise,
Cadaverous wind blowing cold as ice...
I'll let the wind blow out the light
cause its gets more painful every time I die.
Brilliant song.
Huh!! There is a lyrics for this song?
I will never forget the guy that brought me into this beautiful music. Coming back from school and listening to COB at full volume, I miss that time. Rest in peace, Laiho. Thank u for ur music that helped me through tough times
The song that got me into COB 11 years ago... Rest In Peace my guitar hero Alexi Laiho.
2019. A true masterpiece.
2020 perro!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🍻🍺💣
R.I.P. Alexi. I literally just found out about your passing 30 minutes ago. I'm in shock. You will be sorely missed! One of the greatest lead metal guitar players
Every time I die is my favourite
This is the first guitar legend that has died in my lifetime that is younger than I am. When Chuck and Dimebag died, they were older than me and both were younger than Alexi. This is a huge loss.
Oh Alexi, you are gone too soon.
You and COB were my teen years obsession, so many sweet memories with your music.
Thank you for being with me during my childhood and until now it will remain a mark that will never be removed.greetings From Libya 🖤
Alexi and my love, they are already playing guitar together in heaven! 🥰😍
It saddens me the band is breaking up, but I hope this brings great change for the better for every member of Bodom.
Alexi is awesome
Still remember, went to local store to listen some heavy metal CD:s (yes in back days it was the only way to listen something new). He gave me the single something wild. Love at first sight. Then it was year like 97 or 98 in Jyväskylä finland, children of bodom and Nightwish did the gig together, maybe the crowd was about 300-500. Those were the days, I can tell you that 💪.
This is just perfection, the melody, the keys, the guitars, the singer, everything!!!
My first COB song. RIP Alexi Laiho.
The 2nd song that hooked me to C.O.B.
Rest in peace legend
This video and all the children of bodom videos deserves a 4k edition!
My favorite sad rock song. Grettings from Dominican Republic.
This song reminds me of my childhood. And it was awesome 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
He is no more, RIP from Bangladesh 😢
I'm crying, I feel like the music has suffered a terrible loss with him gone. RIP legend♡
C.O.B , C.O.F and behemoth were my highschool binge bands. Still are to this day. 15 years of badassery 🤟🤟
When you get the urge to listen to one of your favorite songs/videos and find Alexi passed away. RIP.
Yeah this was a bad start to a New year. We didn't realize we were making memories, we were just having a good time.
One of the Top 10 Greatest Metal Album at last 20 years
with the death of the legend Alexi Lahio now makes all sense this piece of art. R.I.P Dear Alexi
Can't believe we've been without this legend for a year. RIP Alexi, as always.
A melodic metal masterpiece 💯
R.I.P. Alexi Laiho.. this was one of my favorite solos when I was 15 years old
Rip Alexi. I was 16 when I first listened to this awesome band.
Love from Australia - looking at comments below Alexi, you were loved worldwide ❤️ RIP
One of the best guitarist in the world. Especially 0:44 onwards!!!
Rest in peace Alexi!!!
RIP Alexi. You've opened the road to extreme metal to so many. True talent and inspiration to us all.
Dear master Alexi Laiho, your talent with the guitar, penatrating and obscure voice and your singular songs will live forever in our history and souls. Rest In Peace.
I met Alexi once years ago after a show. I'm so glad I got to see them live.
Rip, sir.
2023 and still a crushing song by the GOAT's of metal seeing them in 2013 was a excitement and privilege
It's sad that we're forced to see some of our legends die. Alexi was surely one of them. Rest in peace, wildchild.
van halen and leslie west too this is so fkn sad :( many guitar players are gone in this fuckd up time
Just wanna say ... now "everytime i cry" since you're gone way to soon, one of the best lead guitarists of all time ... and this song still my favourite one...
From discovering this song as track #3 on a metal mp3 cd 16 years ago... Tracing to its band and rest of albums... Becoming Hatecrew... Picking up Guitar... Making Alexi my idol... Seeing him perform live under plastic tents on a rainy night... Not giving up on us... To hearing he is no more... Marks end to a part of my life... Rip dude... U gave it all... Still gonna keep listening to u everytime You die 🤘🏼
Man this is the real shit. Is started my metal adventure wirh iron maiden, and found children of bodom along the way. I strayed away to more music genres, but in the end, at the end of the night, i always listen to children of bodom. May alexi rest in piece.
this song is really romantic and beautiful
8 years back, I would listen to CoB and play online games for hours everyday. Wish I can go back to that state of mind.
The only thing that ever calmed me down. RIP legend
I grow up with this band
I remember discovering this band (via this song) in high school, back in like 2001. This was before there were streaming services, so I downloaded this album randomly because the name sounded cool to me. My friend and I played this song first, and within 15 seconds we looked at each other and went "holy shit". We were hooked. It opened us up to an entire new genre of metal, and I'm so thankful.
