  • The sound is horrible but this live must be awesome!!

  • 4:40 I want you! =)

  • yeah rite alexi doesn't drink before shows he drinks during the shows :P

  • It would be REALLY nice if those assholes could keep the camera on his guitar during the solo.

  • Unripe Vengeance !!!!! The cult that serves as revenge

    has put forward it's fangs to declare a fucking WAR!

  • I love the intro of this song

  • God is next from Alexi.

  • the songs of children of bodom its like sex XD XD XD XD

  • he has name...Alexander Kuoppala [real dude]

    CoB after 2004 is not real, true CoB

  • haha, 0:58 orgasm :D

  • fucking love the ibanez that the other guy uses (not alexi)

  • @itspietime4u its not an ibanez its a jackson. you can tell by the shark tooth inlays and the fact that it says jackson on the headstock

  • @Webster1195 shark toth inlays means, nothing, ive seen to many ibanezes with shark tooth inlays,. lol, i didnt see it said jackson, thoug lol, thx

  • @Webster1195 shark FIN

  • the vocals are pretty good, to me. the keyboard is too loud though

  • mmm definatly

  • Meh...I really love his vocals on Hatebreeder in the recordings, but live, they don't sound anything alike...not harsh enough or anything. Still the guitar is same which is good.

  • I prefer Alexander too, but I do not blame Roope for the downfall of the band. Alexi is still the creative force behind the band and the new stuff reflects a change in his tastes. If Alexi could still write songs like this there are lots of ways Roope's skills could be taken advantage of to make some really sick stuff.

  • roope is a better guitar player than alexander but i would much rather alexander not have left. not that their new stuff sucks but it doesnt sound near as good as their older stuff with alexander

  • do u really think alexander has anything to do with the music changing???

  • not really but im just saying they made better music while he was there. probly just coincidence but never know

  • Dude, one of my favorite Bodom songs. :)

  • Fucking amazing guitar sound here 5:00

  • to the stupid people who say they were drunk cause they make a mistake in the song: NOT EVERYTHING IS FUCKING PERFECT LIVE!!!! if u were in front of a bunch of people playing you will mess up at least once, they are doing the best they can which is pretty good i might add

  • @SherwoodProductions1

    chances are alexi's still drunk, the fucking whino

  • iYeeeeaaaAAAHHH!!!!!!!HATE CREW!!!

  • Wirman kick ass! Amazing keyboardist!

  • awesome how those japanese schoolgirls are are there

  • this was held in seoul, korea...

  • i just love how alexi makes his axe cry at 3:41 to 3:44 ... awsome...

  • for your own culture ayannzi its not roope on that video

  • ozzum!!!!alexi n roope pwn everyone...so does COB,sinergy!!

  • fucking awesome man!!!! alexi with 21 yeas old and the composed, hatebreeder!! something wild,.demos, all a history!!!!

    he starts at 15 years old with cob.

    amazing guitarrist, the eintein of the music!!!.

  • how old is alexi now?

  • 30/31 i think. Search for alexi laiho on wikipedia and you will find it.

  • This is one of their best songs.

    Among with children of decadence and follow the reaper.

  • fuck I love you Alexi

  • one more thing:

    looking through the comments there are seemingly too many kids who don't know shit about that band.

    some things that need to be corrected:

    this is NOT roope, it's alexander kuoppala.

    alexi doesn't drink before shows (use google).

    his playing didn't get any worse, his style of approaching solos and melodies has changed, that's all. kissing the shadows definitely IS the hardest one to play in one piece. and one last thing: stop bitching around and just enjoy the music.

  • and don't forget about one thing: alexi doesn't only play the guitar, he is the vocalist too. And try to do the 2 things at the same time. I'm gonna see those people, who writeshit comments...

  • exactly. imagine playing the verse to kissing the shadows and then singing at the same time.

  • look, i dont want to bitch around, im a fan of this awesome band since a long time now... maybe he didnt drink before the show... but he did smoke his pot xD, i mean, look at that face!! by the way, i just think alexander fitted better in cob, no disrespect to roope, he is definitely awesome too..

  • whatever, we'll never know unless we ask the man personally.

    tbh, i like both roope and alexander. i don't really want to comment that, i just think it's a shame the kids have never heard of alexander before.

  • Goodluck on being that energetic and screaming when youre on pot for two hours long.. the first hour is possible but after that you srsly fail :P

  • @MParseface38 his playing got worse, watch some of his instructional videos and you'll see he is pretty sloppy in there. But he is starting to get better again. he's still great and one of the greatest metal guitarist anyway.

  • @zeralful

    yeah, i agree. but i think this also has to do with his overall appearance. from the jeans vest wearing neoclassical shredder to a zakk wyldish rocker.

  • @MParseface38 Yes. Alexi is always sober and hates alcohol. ha-ha! Lets get serious man, he's got sloppy now!! Thats a fact. Check him in recent live performances and you'll be able to see what I mean.

    Old Alexi (1997-2003) >>> New Alexi (2004-2010).

  • @LukED87

    i didn't mean that. i read an interview on UG that he doesn't drink BEFORE shows. he obviously drinks while playing. i agree that the pre-AYDY? alexi was much better.

  • @MParseface38 his playing got a lot worse, look at the recent video of him trying to play "lake Bodom" for Young Guitar it sounds like well....me trying to play it, and thats not a good thing. Dont get me wrong hes still really fucking good, but he cant play like he could back in the day.

  • @MParseface38 His playing did get worse. It's pretty easy to see how much cleaner he plays the same solos from old songs in 1998-2003 compared to playing those same songs nowadays. Also, watch some live Sinergy footage. It's honestly like listening to two entirely different guitarists, regardless of stylistic differences.

    This song fucking rules. The speedy intro is the best part =D

  • @MParseface38 He didnt drink at shows when he was young but now he does because.. well lets just admit it, hes an alcoholic. He even says to cure the hangover from the day before he drinks the day after it and the cycle runs on until a break. But I think the band was at its prime at Follow the Reaper.

  • @MParseface38 Nah, bro. The solos in AYDY/BD are actually more technical than stuff from Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper. My guess is he just doesn't practice as much anymore though. There's a certain sense of drive and passion that young guitarists (who haven't made it huge yet) have that dies after they become mainstream.

  • @MParseface38 you're right about everything,except one thing...alexi's playin' is getting worse...he's falling apart because of alcohol...just listen towards dead end at wacken,you don't need any more proof and his style of writing songs is completly different...in a bad,very band way,these new songs are more metalcore and new songs can't get even close to the old ones...accept reality....

  • @MrLuciferion

    well, i've seen them one month ago and paid close attention to his playing - of course he was a little sloppy, that's no news, but he made a great performance overall and only drank water (!). speaking of getting better or worse, i just think he isn't able to nail the old songs the way he used to simply because they don't really play them as much as thes used to, but he still lays down some great solos in the studio (ugly. roadkill morning).

  • "Alexi was only 21 (going 22) that time."

    that bugs me out... i'm turning 22 on 10th of dec. this year and i haven't released three studio albums and toured the world. fuck, something went wrong in my life.

  • ROFL

  • i think my lifes going to turn out pretty bad to if i compare it to alexi haha

  • a suicide attempt and broken bones are things i wouldn't be too happy about...

  • this song is the second song to get stuck in my head the first is deadnight warrior awesome song i want to play both of these songs on the guitar and keyboard

  • saw these guys at graspop last year!! frucking epic! CoB rules!!

  • 2:18 that sounded good

  • COB RULEZ!!!!!! no more

  • really? wow

  • if I see you one day i'll say, get a veincut and follow the reaper:D

  • if i saw YOU on the street i would punch u in the fucking face

  • yeah, probably they are, but they are great musicians, and that is something you cant deny, sorry.

  • if i saw you on the street i'd piss on ur face....

  • Yo bro that's just your opinion

  • im gona lol when you get your ass kicked

  • that keyboard solo at 3:43 to the end just sounds med evil to me for some reason it does it kicks ass as well cool sound for a keyboard

  • dude his vocals arent an underperformance in this vid. if anything his vocals are better than they were on the hatebreeder album. not saying those were bad, but these are better : )

  • alexi laiho had better hair at this concert and awesoem song

  • The glory days. I'm afraid we'll never hear this band again.

  • HOLY F***. Absolutely AMAZING.

  • how the fuck is melodic and power metal a fail wtf???? this band sounds amazing..

    how is it a fail?????

  • crkni pederu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yiau yiau!!

  • haha janne is so drunk..at 3:52 he made error....but he still ownsssss..

  • Hey dude, it´s metal- the most dificult music. And it´s dificult to play it without errors. He made an error but he improvized and veneered this mistake. I wanna see you playing there.

  • WOW I believe they played it faster than the album!!

  • The studio version is played at about 205 bpm I believe, whereas Alexi starts off the intro at 230 bpm (sound so kickass haha) to which it eventually dwindles down to around 210-212 bpm. Pretty much every song they play live is faster than on the albums =)

  • godlke wirman solo

  • Cookie Monster rawk.

  • 26th june @ metaltown ill be there!

  • Is it me or is Seoul the capital of South Korea? What the hell are they doing there they should come to Britain!

  • dude, they went there like a long time ago, and didnt they go to britain when they toured with Slipknot?

  • 4:34 *------*

    aw god

  • This gig is awsome!!

  • yeaoow yeaoow maldito alexi es lo maximo

  • bodom is best

  • Who is better Roope or Alexander?

    I think Roope

  • Alexi has said himself that Roope is a much more able guitarist and the he doesn't have to worry about whether or not he'll be able to play the parts he writes for him. So that pretty much answers that question.

  • "Alexi was only 21 (going 22) that time. "

    Don't get me wrong because Ive been into this band for a long ass time (since just after hatebreer) but I could play this when I was 14, it's not his playing that's great it's his song writing ability!!

  • Anyway,if u could play this solos,SweepPicking with 14,mb not hard i u play since 6,but if u are into guitar with only 3,4 years playing thats not so easy...

  • Most people who claim to "be able to play" such-and-such are unknowingly very sloppy. And I agree it's not his playing that is to be missed, because both Blooddrunk and AYDY actually have more complicated leads/solos than previous albums.

  • his playing got better but his songwriting ability suffered! if you ask me I think that his best solo was kissing the shadows, which he made up in the studio along with the whole song. I don't think he's going to write another solo like that ever again especially right now with a broken shoulder!

  • Well if you ask ME, KTS is far from his best solo. I actually don't even like it that much and it definitely isn't his hardest to play.

  • what do you think is his best solo?

  • Well honestly my 'favorite' solos are from Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper, but as far as technicality goes, solos like Living Dead Beat contain enough 'complicated' lead riffs that I think he didn't necessarily 'get worse' over the years but probably just doesn't practice as much. In the studio he can clearly still pound out those solos. Check out a song he did from a Finnish album called Guitar Heroes, the song is called "Sioux City Sarsaparilla." Great lead playing there!

  • I agree.......Hatebreeder's solos are awesome.......I think Wrath Within', Hatebreeder, and stuff from FTR...Kissing the Shadows, Everytime I Die....I think those solos are cool...........also If you want peace prepare for war has an awesome solo.......and so does Bodom Beach Terror.

  • I Agree with you also I Think If you want peace prepare for war kinda underrated

  • personally sixpounder or everytime i die. Thats just what i think sounds the best.

  • I don't think KTS it's his best solo, I think COB solo is better in fact

  • wow so many terrible fans who dont know about alexander... :O

  • i love his voice, and i LOVE alexi's composing skills.. and his executing skills... and his speed.... and his melody... everything. and his hair looks awesome when he gets intense haha

  • alexi says i love you at 4:41

  • Dude I miss old cob the new stuff just doesnt have what I want in their band. Jane Wirmen is amazing dude he plays flawlessly

  • he was more sloppy back then than he is now (when hes not drunk)

  • thats not roope ita alexander their first guitarst

  • for real?? wow

  • no its not dont worry its Alexander

  • not its not its alexander kuopalla somethign like thing

  • no it's not its Alexander..

  • look that obese guy in 0:32 lol

  • Is the part starting 3:50 really composed by Alexi? Sounds pretty familiar.

  • i love this song! but didnt like this album that much... my favourite album is Follow The Reaper FTW!!! :D

  • damn i miss old bodom <33

  • Sounds a tad off to me

  • esto es mejor ke el kuaker con leche yea!!!

  • 2:19

    great :D

  • janne fucking rips those keys!

  • mierda q conciertaso!!!

  • 3:05 - 3:10 eargasm

  • ok its just im new to bodom so i really dont know there first concert thats all and is it uplaoded on youtube

  • Hey it's cool. Children of Bodom is a great band to get into. And I have no idea if they're first concert is on Youtube. I doubt it though.

  • roope kind of looks scary with that much of long hair

  • Hijacker1234565, that's Alexander Kuopala (however you spell it). He quit in like 2003 or so, and that's when Roope joined.

  • he actually missed a note i cant tell if he did or not

  • Alexi missed one note at 3.01 :P Pretty good gig, pretty clean except sweeps. Alexi seems to be tired :D like 1:32 and 2:52. This song has in my opinion fastest singing.

  • HOLY CRAP!

  • my favoriate live show of bodom

  • ok which is children of bodoms first concert is it live in seoul right

  • 1:32 xD i wonder how much he drank before the show...

  • Even in this age Janne is the best!

  • latvala has never made a solo in his life in cob, alexi is a frikin basterd who loves popularity xd

  • well first u suck 2) alexi's voice is top for melodic death metal and 3) alexi is very clean at guitar he is a little dirty when he plays sweep picking but when he is playing solo without sweep it is very clean....and if latvala was better he would be leaed guitar not laiho

  • on top of that, even CoB members acknowledge that Alexi is better than Roope. watch CoB tv (on yutube)

    Janne: "Alexi sounds tighter", Roope: "With those fucked up flap techniques"

  • I think he is :S

  • Children of bodon rules!!! :D

  • 1:45 LOL

  • hahahahahha... chinese LOOOL

  • I'm pretty sure most of audience are Korean because this was in Seoul :/...

  • i dont like the voice but i like the music!

  • The fucking original bodom...

  • children of bodom rock's

  • Alexi has got a little bit sloppy today but i stil fkn love him

  • What song is this

  • Children of Bodom by Children of Bodom

  • It's Children of Bodom with Children of Bodom ;)

    the opening riff (YAY!) is one of their best imho.

  • And the melodies, this song is all out awesome.

  • Right, one of the best riffs by A. Laiho.

  • oh my mistake `deathmetal`

  • what a nice great job !! children of bodom are top of top in deathmeatl

  • hahaha at about 1:48 even little asian girls love CoB

  • Everyone loves Bodom man!

  • Clasic keyboard Janne!!

  • omg

  • your a fucking faggot janne kicks ass

  • this is probably the MOST minor song of COB
