@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 The vocals just tear out your soul, and you would be forgiven to think that's all, because there's still his guitar solos to thrash you all around.
What I appreciate most, is that Alexi sold his COB rights to the remaining guys. He knew what was coming, and made sure nobody would be going to court after his death. Alexi looked after his brothers until the very end. RIP
To know you're dying at 41 is crazy. I was a huge fan of his playing. He was a big drinker like all Finns and died of liver disease, but was it established that it was the booze that killed him?
@@paulbooth77 The autopsy was released awhile after Alexis died and it said that Alexi's cause of death was "alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue”. He also had a mixture of painkillers, opioids and insomnia medication in his stomach. Just goes to show that he was in a terrible state towards the end. His last music videos shows that too...
What a true musician. All i can think about is despite how sick Alexi was he still slammed the strings on his guitar writing songs. A true lover of music, true musician at heart. Love you Lexi. One of the best of the best. 💙
From fans view it already hurts so much missing alexi but for Dan and crew it must be excruciating knowing that he knew alexi personally everyday , hang in there dan and co members and looking forward to your new music - I'm shellshocked to know video was recorded 9 days before his passing - 😢 ... Be at peace alexi ❤️
The last time i saw Alexi was in Vantaa airport a couple years ago, theres a long story to go along with it and its also probably the coolest story of my life. Now though, it's bitter sweet cause that was the last time i saw him
Alexi's death will always be a burden on my heart. My absolute favorite musician gone overnight. I'm grateful I got to speak with him even only for a few minutes.
Bodom was my gateway into death metal. I absolutely loved their melodic sound they incorporated into it. I'm so glad I got to see them live before he died. Forever one of my biggest inspirations.
Bodom has never been and never will be a death metal band. Not even melodic death metal! Sick of those morons claiming that COB was melodeath whereas they were not!
So much respect to them to say that B.A.M. Will be buried with alexi. There’s not a player alive to hold the flame to alexi so to bury the band with him seems fitting. I’m sad there’s no more C.O.B. but I’m glad we still have his music.
I feel very happy actually that Alexi went with a bang, one last "fuck you" so to speak. He was playing better than ever so his candle truly burned bright all the way till the end. Lepää rauhassa Allu, myö rakastetaan sua. Fuck I'm gonna cry
I saw them in Santa Ana California on the 3rd of April 2019 for the first and last time. I'm eternally grateful for Hexed because it's the reason why I finally got to see them.
@@Charles_Anthony Same man. Even though I got into them through the "Blooddrunk" days. I was too young to go out on my own and see them. Hexed will also, most definitely, hold a place in my heart for that same reason.
@@O_C293: Honestly, Blooddrunk kind of turned me off to their modern stuff. I'd check back in on Bodom every time they released a new album and Hexed is what made me realize that I've never seen them live before. Don't get me wrong, all of their music is solid, but the first five albums and Hexed were amazing.
Hey Loudwire. Could you please contact Roope Latvala and find out what he has to say now? I wonder, there is this new interview with Alexander, Instagram live with Janne, Henkka and Jaska, Daniel is everywhere, but we don't even know if Roope is still alive (O.o)
RIP Alexi my world has a huge void without you in it. You will always be missed and I will forever hold what you taught me in my heart. Goodbye brother til Valhalla
Saying goodbuy until we die too, is too much...one of the worst and the most saddest thing in decades... Take the angels care of your eternal sleep...see you in the Heaven, at least I hope, my beautiful schredding angel!! Anyway, Daniel is a very great guy! During recording of Hexed, Alexi was pissed off cos he made a mistake of the singing part!! Alexi said: Fuck, fuck, cant believe it!! Daniel told him: Calm down, Alexi calm down, it's not a problem, it's okay!! Everyone makes mistakes! Alexi said angrily: No, its not okay!! First it shows; how much Daniels take care about Alexi's soul and himself!! Second it shows Alexi's attitude; how much he wanted everything to be perfect!! I think he was a perfectionist!! So no wonder at all that all of the stress which was all upon him, drove him into alcoholism!! He was a special talent, but he could do almost everything for the band: composing the songs all the time, writing the lyrics, after taking over the process from the thought to the fulfillment, then playing the hardest parts and solos and carry on with singing part too, meanwhile or after that endless concerts and gigs on and on!!! And yeah, he chose this lifestyle, but no one ever took his burdens off and it's too much!! It was too much for him!! But now the beast can finally rest!! Sadily we will be here for a while without him!! Someday i promise, i'll go to your grave to Finnland to say a last goodbye!!!
I remember the first time I listened to children of bodom. It was my 7th grade year and are you dead yet just came out and my friend owned the album and he let me burn a copy of the album. Id say I had it on repeat everyday for like 6 months trying to learn all of the riffs on my ibanez geo 🤣. Riff in paradise Alexi you won't be forgotten!!!!
Thanx Daniel you did Henkka, Janne and Jaskas job dismissing the brand like that who were no longer around I’m glad Alexi chose you many respects for him
@@Charles_Anthony yea :( some close up shots you can see his skin cracking and wrinkled, his posture, he was bad at this point. But oh my what a glorious song. I've never found something that keep me coming back like COB. He was a genius songwriter and performer.
Death is a normal part of life but you should not let it consume you. Anyone could die at any moment but there is nothing you can do about it and life goes on. So be close to the people you love because it shows how fragile life and friendships can be.
He was literally the best guitarist to have ever lived. Everything about him was a god. If you disagree you are wrong. Never been so sad to hear someone died. Part of me felt like it died alil too
It would be so cool if all the Bodom guys got together, and toured together, if they could all come together. I know that that could very well be impossible, but I am sure that many other Bodom fans miss everyone, and the music they composed.
to be honest that is a bad idea. leave the imprint of bodom like it was and keep the good memories rather than force something which was burried even before he died.
I liked Bodom after midnight's- Paint the sky with blood, and then when I was watching it I was like, 😔 It's a great song, but the video makes me sad. I have all Children of bodom's albums. He was an amazing musician!!
I might be the only one but i didnt like the interviewer. As someone who alexi was my idol growing up and still is today. there was muched looked over with his family, how the bodom family are. previous recordings etc. i really feel for them, they are my family too. some of the questions asked were just.... i guess too soon, "whats the future of bodom" cmon man, really ? bodom just died with alexi. pay your respects. no ones ready to move on yet. i love you all. sleep well, drink well, live well
“The Randy Rhoads of his generation.” True words, and praise beyond doubt. Well deserved recognision. RIP Alexi xxx
I have a lot of respect for Daniel, he seemed to admire Alexi so much and with reasons.
Rest in peace Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho...legendary guitarist..gone but never forgotten.
'10 days before his passing'😢😢.. Rest In Power Alexi
Lets take a moment to appreciate everithing that graham has done throughout all theese years.
Graham is a great interviewer.
I remember seeing his interview with Phil Anselmo. He looks like a little boy there but can make fun with Phil.
@@Ultimagicarus hhaha yeah. Even in his age phil looks and sounds pretty intimidating.
LIFER🤘
Whyyy bro why D=
He really was the Randy Rhoads of his generation.
RIP Alexi Laiho
1979 - 2020
He was like if Randy had a baby with Chuck schuldiner. Amazing fucking vocals and god like guitar playing. Something we will never see again

I agree. He didn't want leave behind a bunch of BS for them to have to deal with.
So true. I'm glad you point that out. We can tell Alexi was very smart 👌
@@arlos21 The way he played the guitar and his compositions are a testament to his talent and IQ

Daniel was one of the best things to happen to Bodom. He brought so much youth to the band.
He brought youth? Come on bro, he’s 39. Alexi was 41 😂
Fan energy bro
It's bitter sweet, leaving with his best. Also Mad respect for the guys to leave it be, Bodom without Alexi wouldn't be the same.
“One foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven
Then again it's like being needled twenty-four seven”
RIP Alexi 🤘
What a true musician. All i can think about is despite how sick Alexi was he still slammed the strings on his guitar writing songs. A true lover of music, true musician at heart. Love you Lexi. One of the best of the best. 💙
I still cant believe that he died!
R.I.P Alexi!
Please Daniel..... bring back NAILDOWN!
RIP Alexi, your a true legend!🤟
Daniel sounds and looks quite hurt, overwhelmed and affected, thanks for the interview
From fans view it already hurts so much missing alexi but for Dan and crew it must be excruciating knowing that he knew alexi personally everyday , hang in there dan and co members and looking forward to your new music - I'm shellshocked to know video was recorded 9 days before his passing - 😢 ... Be at peace alexi ❤️
Got me crying again. This has been devastating and I've never met him so I can't imagine how his friends and family have been feeling.
Bodom used to be my 2nd favourite band once upon a time. I hope he's jamming with Dio and Lemmy and Clive up there.
and chuck schuildiner
RIP alexi what a god ❤️❤️
RIP Alexi. Your music and legacy will live on forever in the halls of Rock and Metal!
Poor guy is clearly struggling. Very sad, but good video nonetheless
Rest in peace fellow Finn!
The last time i saw Alexi was in Vantaa airport a couple years ago, theres a long story to go along with it and its also probably the coolest story of my life. Now though, it's bitter sweet cause that was the last time i saw him
Please tell your story❤️
I'd like to hear that story.
Nah dont tell. Keep that memory and hold on to it!
Please, do share it sometime. Help keep the memory alive internationally. :)
Daniel is so great, i feel like he is a true Bodom member
The best always go to soon.
R.I.P Alexi
This is great. Period.
Alexi's death will always be a burden on my heart. My absolute favorite musician gone overnight. I'm grateful I got to speak with him even only for a few minutes.

R.I.P Alexi Laiho 🎸🎸🎶🤘🏽 I've been listening to them since 2010. I have all their albums.
Daniel can carry the torch that Alexi lit. Freyberg is an amazing guitarist and I think he'll get better just like Alexi always did.
RIP Alexi Laiho
Gone way too soon !! 😭

Can't wait to hear the other Bodom After Midnight songs as well!
One is a cover, which I am really really looking forward to hearing as Dissection was a fantastic band.

Still hurts😢
Great guy with big heart Daniel!!!! Good luck on your new project Daniel!!!!
Thank you for this one, both to Loudwire/Graham and Daniel.
Daniel please stay safe
Thank you so much for this interview👌👌.
Dude, thanks so much for this!
Cant wait for the new record.

That video was 9 or 10 days before he died. Fuck, man.
It hits hard, but you can really tell when you watch the video...
@@Charles_Anthony yea :( some close up shots you can see his skin cracking and wrinkled, his posture, he was bad at this point. But oh my what a glorious song. I've never found something that keep me coming back like COB. He was a genius songwriter and performer.
Honestly, always when I see videos or something named like this I start cry :(
Aleksi and Daniel was the best duo :(
Whoa, I didn’t even know the guy died. I was never a Bodom fan but this was unexpected.
Man, I'm only 38 and already everyone is dying around me.
Death is a normal part of life but you should not let it consume you. Anyone could die at any moment but there is nothing you can do about it and life goes on. So be close to the people you love because it shows how fragile life and friendships can be.
I see Alexi Laiho every day !!!
I'm crying right fucking now..
“The Randy Rhoads of generations.” Alexi live our minds! He is a legend! 💔
this is so sad to watch
He was literally the best guitarist to have ever lived. Everything about him was a god. If you disagree you are wrong. Never been so sad to hear someone died. Part of me felt like it died alil too
Res in chaos Alexi wildchild Laiho 🤘💘
Imagine disliking this video.
Seriously. Who the fuck are these people?
And then you got clowns defending the Bodom guys who are selling socks right after Alexi died. The world is so screwed up right now.
R.I.P Alexi Love cheers
It really is a shame. Bodom After Midnight was going to be pretty awesome. That much was evident from the new track that was released just recently.
Fuck yea Alexi lives on!
sad for me , i cant see them and i always wanted :( Rip
Major loss :((
It would be so cool if all the Bodom guys got together, and toured together, if they could all come together. I know that that could very well be impossible, but I am sure that many other Bodom fans miss everyone, and the music they composed.
This is actually a really fucking cool idea. I would pay all my money for it! 🔥
to be honest that is a bad idea. leave the imprint of bodom like it was and keep the good memories rather than force something which was burried even before he died.
@@JJay-m1x just like Thin Lizzy without Phil Lynott
That moment when you share the same forename with the bassist and on 3:42 I was like: wait what are my plans?
Hhai Daniel how did you got a chance to play with Alexi
knowing that the video was shot so close to his death makes so much sense now, he looked so frail. killer song but I had to turn that video off
I liked Bodom after midnight's- Paint the sky with blood, and then when I was watching it I was like, 😔 It's a great song, but the video makes me sad.
I have all Children of bodom's albums. He was an amazing musician!!
@Bart Lee: He looked bad in 2019, but skinny bad... like Anorexia. The last video is literally like he aged thirty years in the span of two years...
The new song gave me Bloodrunk album vibes. I don´t know what you guys think, but no HCD.
❤❤

i love you all. sleep well, drink well, live well
The style of Bodom was kind of picking up the best elements of each sub genre of metal. Roughly speaking.
He was way better than Randy Rhodes.....not to disrespect RR. Alexi was so unique in his playing/songwriting.
😭😭😭
Alexi died almost 2021 and i feel hatred after he died
And he has encouraged parents around the world to buy Randy Rhoads guitars for their kids more than Randy Rhoads himself
Don’t get too carried away now. Lol
@@nickstalker3254 you imply I'm wrong? Lol
@@obaapohjois-laosis4394 I’m not saying you’re right either.

load the sixpounder
It's really sad...
Isn't this the guy who did that idiotic interview with Alexi on how much alcohol they consumed on tour some years ago?
Yes, Alex's Legacy (with a big L!)
Graham, you really need to get your act together.
Isn't this the guy who presented Alexi with a ton of alcohol during an interview while he was sober for a while?
