The final bang... Rest in peace and follow the reaper legendary wildchild
Legends live forever - memories and art with them. Laiho was one of the most culturally and historically important musicians and the best guitarist in Finland. 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 and even a pot guitarist. Laiho will be remembered forever as one of the most significant people in the world of the metal scene and the best guitar graters. Rest in peace, countryman🇫🇮🕯🕊
Cool
One other new song on the EP, "Payback's a Bitch." So technically one more!
@@ARSamu1 brb
One more coming
Releasing a song after dying is metal af
He really put the death back into melodic death metal
@@firebrand9578 I thought this genre was referred to as “Extreme Metal”
@@MrZachgonz nah check out melodic death metal bands like In Flames, Dark Tranquility, or Insomnium. COB has a similar style to them with a bit more influence from black metal and neoclassical. Extreme metal is more like Meshuggah
Alexi never liked genreing, he used to refer his music as just metal
@@firebrand9578 Meshuggah is progmetal / djent
I think 10-20 years from now, people will look back and realize he was one of the greatests of all time. We were blessed to have him here with us.
why in 10-20years? we already do all know that
I thought we already knew he was one of the greats
We know that already
If they dont realize it already theyre blind and cant call themselves a fan bro
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.
Alexi burned ultra bright to the very end... his legacy will forever live on!
No it won’t lol
@@dannydel7280 neither will yours. Lol.
@@adams2813 ya I know I’ll be dead and forgotten lol . Shrugs . O well lol
@@dannydel7280 liked and agree.
This is our Power Song. I think that Alex meant this for all of us. Fight.
Alexi is so cool that he releases videos from the afterlife.
New Track... Bodom Afterlife.
R.I.P Alexi Laiho, 🎸🎸🎶

Oof, bit too early
He's shredding with the reaper
Alexi like “I maybe fucking dead, but the music never dies”
A Man dies twice: the first one when his heart stops beating, the second one, when people forget about him... therefore, Alexi will be eternal \m/
so he's not a man because he won't be forgotten - he's a legend.
Yes. And Warrel Dane as well. RiP
@@stormcorrosion176 many didnt know warrel when the guy was alive..
doctor hiluluk said once
@Bart Lee yeah thatll still be there in 6 months lol
Even on death's door, he could write and play a solo like that. Once in a generation 🤟
I've always loved COB because the insane solos even the bad songs had
Right?? What a true one of a kind legend.. it’s unbelievable his great mentality was.
I play guitar myself and I have to say not just his solos are amazing. His riffs are so good. He's got a lot of riffs and licks that other bands would call solos.
@@dudarino666 That was my favorite thing about discovering melodic death metal for the first time. I remember thinking, "Wow, these songs are like one long guitar solo. Some songs are 2 or 3 guitar solos *with* guitar solos" (early Kalmah, for example). I couldn't believe it. I'm just grateful I discovered this kind of metal when I did. Took me on a journey.
Wasn’t exactly deaths door. It’s not like he could barely move his limbs or play rite before his passing. So in those regards no but yea rest in power legend
This was 10 days before he passed away 😢 he really died at the top of his game. 🤘
Yeah. He really was at his peak in the end.
Only 10 days, really? Damn..
Holy shit that hurts
going to miss that axe skill
Am I missing something? Pretty sure this was released 3 month *after* he passed away.
Man... I never felt like this before. It is the final farewell. How fortunate we are to meet here. Even virtually, it feels like a real person encounter. Love to Alexi and his legacy
We are his legacy, dude. So no fucking giving up!
@Bart Lee It'd be cool of Daniel made these guys the new Naildown
Well said. There's so much love for Alexi. I just hope he knew how much he meant to his fans as well as his family. I'm still not over the shock and sadness of knowing I'll never get to see him perform live again.
@@arieswildchild i love your username! I'm an Aries and COB fan too.
Nah, one more coming
Alexi's legacy lives on!
I hope you're in a better place now, bro.
*Sir
he is
Whats so wrong or bad with this place?
@Killsocialmedia He was not religious. Everything is better than this place but we must play the game.
@Killsocialmedia Why you talk this bullshit here? Respect him as a fan,friend or as Behemoth song says CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS!!!!!
I'll never forget when Alexi invited us to his apartment in Helsinki around 14 years ago. The very first thing he said after giving us a hug was: "Nice to meet you guys, feel like home, the refrigerator is over there." Alexi was such a nice and humble person with the most beautiful soul. Rock in heaven, Wildchild, we miss you 🖤
This is so awesome... would love to know how this mans apartment looked like
@@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😉
That is just wonderful. I actually found myself tearing up as I read this.
@@helsinkisnowwhite4238 I'm guessing that best friend was Kim right?
Thats sweet.
Keep coming back to this because he was o e of the most legendary and iconic frontmen ever, this guy knew he was dying and was clearly weak but still did a kickass performance
Like real wood head he didn't want help
But you are right.
When that bridge kicks in at 2:52
Ohhhhh Yurrrrrrrr 🤘
It's beautiful!
How is the movin' going??
Did u listen to the solo? Its sex.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
it gaves me goosebumps
This is gonna be really hard to watch.. I still can’t believe this is the last time we see you Alexi. What a gift it was to witness your life and career like we all did.. I will keep your memory alive always, in my heart. Thank you for everything! 💔💔💔
Its not the last time, just hit play and you can see and hear him whenever you want. It makes him immortal.
@@cryptcreeper1318 His body has moved on, but his music will live forever.
That last "in memory of Alexi Laiho" always rips my chest in pain. 😭
It hits hard. Still doesn't feel real, but he's finally buried now.
@@lilturk82 That's the way it is. Sadly.
I have tears in my eyes, I was a fan for almost 20 years, this guy made me to start playing guitar when I was a kid. Alexi will always be my hero, rest in fkin metal heaven dude, and see you there one day.
Me too
Szkoda :(
Hard to watch even today. I've listened to the song a hundred times in the car but completely forgot about the video. Almost broke down at the end, but managed to hold it in (tears rolled anyway). But damn. I didn't even know Bodom meant that much to me lol
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
u know if daniel played part of the solo or?
@@TheSadistNat1on I’m 99.9% sure he did because it sounds like his solo style in Naildown.
@@LorcanWard for sure..we'll definitely find out with the music vid
sounds like a track off Hexed to me
R.I.P Alexi. What an amazing guitarist
You will never be forgotten Alexi.
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
Everytime I watch this video and see how weak he looks in it, I just wish he had stopped drinking
2:50 Holy shit that guitar flip, even in his last months this man was full of energy. Rest in peace Wildchild.
not even months this video was recorded 10 days before he left us
2:50 For one last time That classic Guitar Flip .
that part actually made me cry :(
So many different emotions occurring while watching this. He looks so frail, yet he puts out so much energy in this video. He literally went out on his own terms. What an absolute bad ass. Rest easy, Legend. Thank you for everything.
Yes, it’s quite uncomfortable to look at him here to be honest. I hardly recognize him in this clip, and in the past couple years. The song and the video though, fucking bad ass! Rest in peace Alexi 💔
Sadly, he was drunk on this video. :/
" I think one of the sad things we're going to see is him absolutely wasted in the video. I heard he turned up to the video shoot around noon pretty drunk. Not a good sign " - from a trustworthy man (from the official COB forum).
That’s what I saw too something very odd about his performance you can see he’s not ok.. I still can’t believe he’s gone, grew up with CoB and to have him gone it’s still unreal.
@@yugiohyugiohzebuyugi hmm.. I wonder who this trustworthy man is 🤨
It's not a secret I think, so... he is:
th-cam.com/users/AlixSB2006featured
A simple man, nothing extra:) Just knows people, like Henkka.
Alexi was Metal incarnate. RIP to an absolute monster frontman.
It made me cry.
Both on how good the music is, and the fact that he's gone.
So True Bro👊🙏✊
His sudden death hit me so hard too.
Same here. We lost a brother that day.
This sounds like a much heavier and more regenerated version of Children of Bodom. It would have turned out massive. Such a pity. RIP.
Feels much fresher then COB too, damn.
This band might have fucking killed it.
A lot more black metal vibes
@@oinn7327 was thinking the same, and I really dig it. I guess we'll have to cherish what we got.
@@SyntheticFuture its sad theres only a few songs. I havent been this excited about Bodom music since Something Wild
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
Is good to hear again Alexi!

April 9th, alexi's birthday, rip you legend
I did get to meet Alexi. After a gig on the Unholy Alliance Tour of 2006 in Cardiff, Wales. The gig was over and me and my friends and my brother were buzzing (it was incredible as before the gig even started we had met Anders of in flames, and the lamb of god boys which they took the piss out of us because I was on the phone to my brother about how I just met Anders who was my absolute idol at the time and me and my friend were walking along near the venue afterwards and I called my brother to say about Anders but we didn't realise that literally lamb of god were walking not far behind - once we noticed this, I was like "bro lamb of god are walking behind us right now" and I cant remember who (It was either mark morton or willie adler) mocked like he was on a pretend phone and said "oh uh yeah some Welsh dudes are walking in front of us right now" - this was absolutely surreal. Anyway, the Alexi part was after the gig. We were literally like on the way to get the train home and he was walking on his own towards the tour bus area and it was literally like passing him on the pavement. I asked him if we could get a photo (I never had the guts to say how much of a deep appreciation I had for him as I was only 16 and quite a quiet anxious guy and tbh still am), anyway he said sincerely "oh yeah sure I just need to go back to the bus and I'll be back out" and then we waited for like 15 mins but we literally had to get the last train home and we were just kids so as difficult as it was we did really have to go. I will always regret not hanging around for longer, because maybe I could have had a conversation with him and how much he means to me. But anyway, his music is permanent and I will always have that. Hope anyone who reads this enjoyed my little anecdote. I'm sure other people have cooler stories about actually chatting with him etc. Cheers!
“In memory of Alexi Laiho” fuck me that hurts...
reading that gave me goosebumps. Could've looked at that that way.
Alexi was so revitalized. This is so fresh and he was ready to conquer the world again.
Gone far too soon; really have to appreciate the fact that his final creations are being released to the world for one final farewell, posthumously. Shred in peace, Wildchild.
The man who raised metal to another level. \m/
This makes me so sad and happy at the same time..... RIP Wild Child
Rest in peace Alexi Laiho. Respect from Brazil.
This song was a fucking beast and alexi just was a rockgod till the end. He looks so sick and beaten in this video yet he managed to put up two songs and shoot a video. Rest in peace alexi! You will always be remembered!
Like straight up he dosent look well at all in this video
It's just sad and crazy to think there was nothing they could do for him. I don't know much about the specifics of his health conditions, but with modern medicine and technology you'd really think they could have prevented such an early death (and Alexi's net worth was in the millions, so it's not like he couldn't afford the best care). It just sucks.
@@danielfurr7356 yeah it's really weird when you consider that AL jourgensen is still alive... he is a walking corpse at this point and he is still kicking it and I am sure that he most likely abused his body more with extreme substances than alexi.
@@danielfurr7356no way to force treat an alcoholic
@@CryonicDragon I don't think it's weird. Different people's body take this kind of abuse differently. Look at Phil Anselmo. Still looks like a beast although he put himself through hell with alcohol and drugs back then. Sure he dealt with health consequences of it all too but he's just a much sturdier person than Alexi was. I really took his death hard. He was very important to me when I was a teenager.
If I die and Alexi isn't the reaper come to fetch me, I'm not going.
I miss him, too.

He was an amazing skilled and talented person, but don’t get trapped in worshipping false idols, brother.
@@al69420 I worship chaos
@@al69420 Nobody said nothin' about worship or idolatry.
This video is unreal when you think he died only 2 weeks later. What energy he still had. The drummer brings them to another level, and Daniel complements Alexi so well too. What a shame it ended like that. RIP Alexi
Yeah that drummer kicks serious ass

My master Alexi Laiho, we will see you and listen to you for the last time. You will always be in our hearts.
*R.I.P ALEXI LAIHO*
You could see it in his face a bunch of times throughout the video... man's in absolute discomfort and was very very frail. Of course, the metal monster he was, he still stood up and put on one last show for us, and one we could watch over and over.
Rest easy big guy, the pain's gone now. We'll keep fighting like you told us to.
And most crushing thin was.
I have seen CoB second last gig and BaM first gig. Alexi was way more better condition Bodom After Mighnight show than Lastest show with Children of Bodom.
I even wonder he would survive couple more years but it happened what's happened.
Yes!!!!
Even though he looked in horrible pain during his last days he still put on the best performances he could he poured his heart out and refused to stop shredding what an absolute legend R.I.P wherever you are Wildchild
Since when did he look in horrible pain?
@@toddventura7191 he used to look very gaunt and low energy, RIP Alexi.
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.
Horns Up, you sick son of a bitch. 🤘🏻

Alexi and Daniel's dual solo is makes me happy and sad in same time. RIP Alexi, RIP Wildchild...

I'll hope you do a cover from this song, pelase:(
I always wished him and roope would have done more dual soloing.. :(
From listening to Hatebreeder for the first time in 2003, while driving across the Utah deserts at midnight, lightning storms glowing and flashing in the distance, to this video today, on this cloudy but hot afternoon. Thank you Alexi.
He may have looked sick, but sure as hell he didn't sound sick. The "Wildchild" will never die. Forever in our hearts.
Fuck. This is even better than COB's latter years. Rest easy, Wildchild
This reminds me of hate crew era cob and it is amazing
@@haydosbruu Exactly my thoughts!
Гораздо лучше!
Это новый Виток в творчестве Алекси но к сожалению он не мог преодолеть то что с ним было,😪
@@haydosbruu For me it feels like a halo of blood mixed with hatebreeder
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. Every time I pick up a guitar or bass the rest of my life, Alexi's impact on me is going to play a role in what comes out of it. It's just the way it is and I don't want it any different.
I felt sick hearing about his passing and it makes me even more sick seeing him in such clear pain but still pushing forward and giving one last game ending performance such a fucking pioneer. Love this guy. Rest in peace
I feel cold seeing Alexi in a musicvideo by knowing he's already not among us anymore...Legends never die, they live forever!!!

I don't understand but finnish is for me the most beautiful language :)
He said tears are coming, rest in peace

REST IN POWER
I was very skeptical about Bodom After Midnight when it came out. I guess I was just nostalgic about what CoB used to be and what it had become (Hexed being one of CoB's best album since HCRD imo). But listening to BAM now, I realize just how much potential it had. This was so close to old school Bodom on so many levels... Peak Laiho. Dude passed away way too soon, but he went out with a bang.
Literally my 1,000th time watching this
I feel you...
Years later teenagers will discover about Alexi Laiho and all his works and they will all read our mourning comments after viewing this video. RIP 3 months has passed yet it's hard to swallow the fact that he's no more here 💔
Alexi's swansong. One of his best tracks and hell of a way to say goodbye. RIP Wildchild
It feels like he’s come back for a moment just to make sure we’re still rocking. He has one of finest musical legacies that he’s left for us.
We love you Alexi ❤️
Can’t wait!
We miss you, Wildchild.
=**
Man, what I would give to be in a crowd screaming Fight! Fight! Fight! with these guys...
It still doesn't feel real, Alexi being gone.
We miss you, Wildchild!
I can't stop listening to this Alexi just brought the thunder
This is Children Of Bodom on steroids, this was the path COB had to go.
What a swansong, Alexi, and this is just a single, not the full album.
RIP Alexi Laiho.
Unfortunately the "full" album is only 3 tracks, including this one. This is probably the best Bodom track in at least a decade. It's a fucking HUGE bummer to lose a musician I've loved for so long, but it feels even worse knowing now that he was back on the path to really, REALLY killer music again.
@@hatredinfinite4753 ikr :(, biggest hero ever, Alexi Laiho was amazing
Well, at least it ended with a big bang! Don't know what i should say about this topic, because I'm bad at saying goodbye!
Happy Birthday, Alexi - thanks for making the world better!
Покойся с миром Алекси.Твоя музыка и твой голос всегда будет в моем сердце ❤️.
Respect to Alexi.
He really made the difference.
His music is his legacy.
According to Daniel Freyberg, this video was recorded about 9 or 10 days before Alexi passed away. For that reason I get some weird vibes as though Alexi is saying "everythings ok you get to see this now" RIP Alexi
How did he die?
@@tence_6965 According to the coroner report, apparently it was "“alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue" :(
It wasn't a shocker he died, i think he knew.
Just looking at him in this video shows that he wasn't in the best health
There were lots of medication at his system. Hate to say it - sad and depressing that is.
happy new year wildchild we miss you
Not saying this because of his recent passing, but this track is honestly one of Alexi's best works. This shit rips. I am glad we got something so brutal as a parting gift. Damn, Alexi is going to be missed. RIP to the legend. 🤘🏻
Best work? Nah, not even close 😂
@@mootkickee how so?..its literally the same type of writing as his best stuff with the best drumming he's had behind. Its so amazing. get fuggn cryn laughn emoji here and open ur ears, this shit is perfect bodom
People are definitely thinking with their hearts and not their mind.
Yes the track is decent, but it's nowhere even close to their best work.
@@owenporter1472 Not THE best - ONE OF the best. The drums are great, and the dual solo was cool. Y'all need to chill. Music is subjective, and there is nothing wrong with feeling this music with your heart. There are plenty of people that respected and loved Alexi and his work.
@@owenporter1472 well their doesn't make sense either way cuz this is a complete different lineup with 2 tracks of their own. As far as Alexis goes, as songwriting goes for him, this holds up for sure! its great
Not even a month or so before he died he was playing live and seemed as good as ever. Even with all the pain that was in his body he was giving it all he had. A true legend. He will be so, so missed.
3:14 guitar solo is the best guitar solo I've heard in maybe 20 years... maybe more. Phrasing, playing, creativity. Like a fucking rocket ship taking off. RIP Alexi, a true master of his craft I will never stop listening.If I make it to 80 then I will be 80 listening to Bodom.
I have watched this video so many times I lost count. I still can't swallow the fact he is no longer with us. I will fight hard to recover from the sadness. Miss you Alexi. Thanks for giving me the drive to survive.
It is like children of bodom never split up he carried their style into bodom after midnight and it was so perfect, you cannot see the difference. Rest in piece, genius musician.
Alexi was cob. He wrote pretty much everything boys where just there to play it
This would be the hardest to watch video ever. The final piece of a legend and a true man!
We will never forget what you did for us, Alexi, and we will keep your legacy alive! Your Hate Crew!
This song is bittersweet. It's an incredible song, but it's one of the last few new songs we'll ever hear from Alexi. His death tore me apart. He was the one who motivated me to pick up a guitar and learn how to play. RIP Alexi. You're going to be missed by many.
That shit fawked me up too man......I have dreams I'm hanging out with him even though I never met him or had even seen them live......fawking regret that hell too!
Rest in peace, Alexi. You will forever be the reason I became a metalhead. Thank you for everything.
This is painful today, but will bring joy in the future.
Thanks for this gift♥️
Love how he graced us with one of his guitar flips at 2:50 😭🥺❤️❤️❤️
Love the song. Seeing Alexi is both amazing and painful at the same time :( He’ll be forever missed ❤️
That scream at the beginning - holy f***.... Goosebumbs. Most epic scream in the history of heavy metal or whatever genre you wanna call it. Freddie Mercury had "Show Must Go On - Alexi Laiho had this, that's the way I see it. Just a masterpiece. Nothing can top this.
As a new gen fan from CoB I heard the band around early 2013 and then it turned to be my favorite band and Alexi Laiho was the inspiration for why I play guitar nowadays,I really wanted to see him playing on live but when he died I was really sad since my inspiration and hero died , but thanks Wildchild you'll be always a legend! 🖤
I never had a chance to meet Alexi Laiho and COB. But I swear, one day I'll visit Lake Bodom, swear to him I will.
exactly the same idea came to my mind some time ago, don't forget to drink some Corona or Jack Daniels when you are there ;)
I'll meet you there... I'll make him a statue even with snow..
When u do i can be your guide ✌🏼.
Greetings from Finland.
Once I met Alexi at a supermarket, I asked for a pic and he said yeah, he was very nice to me
@@piotrpankiewicz359 need to drink some good finnish beer like karhu ;)
This dude didn't fizzle out, he went with a bang and left a legacy
It took me 3 years to mourn and find the energy to watch this video. It did a lot of good, it's excellent. Although my eyes still sting when I think of Alex.
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 ... What a dedicated guy full of purpose for music and fan an honorable human being Thx you for great memories alexi ❤️
This is extremely bittersweet for me. Such an amazing song, this band would be a great legacy for Bodom’s career. Alexi was a genius and shall not be forgotten. Rest in Power!
That was beyond better than expected, truly amazing.
Rest In Peace, Alexi, thank you for all the excellent and extremely inspiring music.
С одной стороны так радостно слушать песню и ловить мелодику, а с другой, стоит такой ком в горле и слезы бегут щекам. Вот и прошел год, как нет с нами Алекси.
Breaks my heart and will never see him again
Three years and it seems like yesterday, you will stay in our hearts forever, RIP Alexi 😢❤🤘
So fucking glad he got this recorded before he left us! One final Laiho masterpiece as a final farewell. RIP Wildchild 🖤
Oh how my heart bleeds in sorrow. Alexi, on ikävä! We miss you.
They filmed this 10 days before he passed. What an absolute BEAST Alexi was! I’m proud to say I got to enjoy CoB multiple times live and Alexi & Co. ALWAYS killed! He went out doing what he was born to do 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥
That dual solo was amazing. Even from Children of Bodom, I've never heard anything like it. Alexi was making new ideas right to the very end.
Alexi clearly still had passion to make great music. I like how it mixes black metal and punk like their original albums
Extremely unfair of him to first produce the best Bodom song in a decade and then die. Alexi and Waltteri play together so respectfully, truly complimenting each other with the music. This is just so goddamn beautiful with the fresh new blood accompanied by talented musical masters.
To be fair, the stuff off of Hexed was pretty damn good. I consider Platitudes and Barren Words to be one of their best songs since Are You Dead Yet? That being said, I agree wholeheartedly that this new band was incredible and that this song kicked ass! Definitely the heaviest song he has made in decades and I believe he stepped up because of the expectations of millions who thought that thiswas just going to be a cover band.
Alexi didn't fade away. The man went out with a bang!
Honestly Hexed as a whole is one of my favourites Bodom albums
@@troybartja5314: Yeah, it's hard to say where it is in the top five for me, but it's definitely up there and it is absolutely their best modern release.
This track has literally nothing on any track from Hexed, imo
@@owenporter1472 Would definitely be a lower tier song if on that album. Has the same vibe though.
Hexed was a great album and these last two songs he released are some of the best material. I would have been so hyped for the full album. it's a shame we missed him. RIP
Love the fact he wore Impaled Nazarene shirt on this. RIP Laiho
Alexi left with style and with a bang. Rock in peace Wildchild.
Still can't believe it, what a bang! Perfect goodbye from Alexi! Rest in power man! Also, we love Children of Bodom and Bodom After Midnight forever! EVER! ❤
Thank you for the Music, Alexi 👏👏👏👏👏👏Maestro
This is such a hit. Probably Bodom's best song since "Are you dead yet". So addictive and I can't stop listening.
are you dead yet was bottom tier tho that was a made for radio metal song
AYDY was one of the weakest Bodom songs, still great however
@@korbynshaggy666
Well, I probably should have said that "Are you dead yet" is one of the the hittiest song they ever did. Yes, it's a commercial song with a kind of American sound and style, but I think it's masterclass songwriting, so extremely catchy.
Back in the beginning, if Laiho would have decided to sing clear vocals instead, I think the band would have been at least twice as popular.
@@gulanhem9495 I just wanna know what crack are you smoking?
@@NiRvAnA6890
Why?
Final countdown.
Rest in peace brother Alexi.
Thank you for this last couple of songs.
