@qrrbrbirbel1 :)

[AnOnreculiado]

Wena Laiho csm akjakjakj

[NotStoked1]

I used this interview in an english test once becasue of how many 'you knows' he used

[Moh1Z]

@NotStoked1 That's funny 'cos when he speaks Finnish he says "niinku" all the time, which means "kind of" :D In English he says "you know" all the time.

[thetoobnoob]

What's the tune at 2:00 ?

[IronMaidenMax13]

@thetoobnoob sixpounder 

[cbodom95]

@thetoobnoob sixpounder

[willabeesgotapollo13]

fuck not having solos! thats what makes a guitarist develop their own sound and technique.

[spudicus11]

its aazing he sounds sound different when he is talking and when he sings its a completely differnt voice

[Aldastrio]

thumps up if you noticed Laiho holding a beer in his interview and if you love Heineken

[smikkelaar]

@Aldastrio You know that Heineken is one of, or even ís the worst Dutch beer there is, right?

[missrecklessdoll]

You know.

[MADAYAE]

You Know?

[F4TB0Y69]

@MADAYAE how many times he says you know in the vid lol =]

[GoStobe]

herp derp USA!! USA!!! hurr durr

[xxguitargirl94xx]

I wonder what would Alexi Laiho say if the guy went, why shredding to Bon Jovi when you can shread to Justin Bieber? Hahah I would piss myself seeing Alexi's reaction xD. Neverrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

[Spjungen]

Dude...old bodom...is SO much better than they're new shit.

Something wild, hatebreeder, follow the reaper...

EPIC

Then hatecrew and onward....downward slope. Some good shit but just not the same as before.

[InjexDnB]

He's not even Finnish anymore...

[TinyKurds]

These two kids below are really immature.

"I'd be scared to leave my house if there was a tranny."

"I saw a fat tranny on my way home from school one day, it was pretty gross."

Grow up. Try not to act like an 11 year old. Don't be so typically judgmental ("Masculine women are gross."). FInd something more meaningful to talk about.

Actually just go read a book or something.

[metalhed0294]

@TinyKurds I'm not being typically judgemental, I think trannys are disgusting. It's also wrong, considering they don't respect the body God gave them, so they change it. It's not immature to have a belief.

Me saying that trannys are gross doesn't make me sound 11 years old at all. It makes me sound like I think trannys are gross.

Considering you're talking about my "meaningless" convo, you should find something more meaningful to talk about as well. Don't be such a hypocrit.

[metalhed0294]

You know (hahaha lol), I seriously didn't realize he said it that much until everyone commented about it.

[TroubleClef2112]

Dude, that little kid rocks. 2:01

[MrAndreist96]

oh my god, so much "you know" fuck, i'm ouuta' of my minds xD

[flockemokke]

lol bon jovi

[MyCryBabyLove]

@eleoCz hahaha you know ?

[subthis]

Just saw these guys live...it was amazing

[ChristianForLif3]

heiniken :D nederlands bier

[chafrador]

Did he say "You Know" ? o_O

[metalhed0294]

I'm pretty new to Children of Bodom, but I love the songs that I do know by them. So can someone please tell me what songs were played at 2:50 and 4:18?

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 2:50 - Sixpounder, one of their best

4:18 - Blooddrunk.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Thanks man. Actually, I knew Sixpounder, I just didn't recognize it until I watche the video. But still, thanks dude.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Lol, you mean wo-man. xD

Sixpounder is amazing, it's too bad they didn't play it live when I saw them last year. :|

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda LUCKY! YOU SAW THEM LIVE!? I've only seen Megadeth live, but I might see Skillet next week and I'm gonna see the Big 4 next month. Anyway, yeah Sixpounder is great. But I think my favorite song by them is Done With Everything, Die For Nothing.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Yes, I did. Oct.14 Pipeline Cafe, here in Hawaii. xp

Even though it was a Blooddrunk tour, I honestly wasn't impressed by said album.

I can't believe they've gone so mainstream. Saw a commercial promoting RRF on CARTOON NETWORK today. WTF.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda You're in Hawaii? Wow. Well, I have to ask this, how's that tsunami going?

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 LOL, fucking failnami 2. It was supposed to hit at like, 2 am.

I woke up at around 9 just to see the damage and whatever, the weather is nicer than it normally is, all sunny and whatever.

I live near a golf course, so I would have seen the flooding.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Oh wow. I was expecting to hear of death and destruction, not nice weather. Here in AZ they make it seem like its armeggedon over there. All I ever hear about on the news is how many people have died from it.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 I've heard a dock was destroyed in California and possible deaths there.

I doubt anyone has died here, unless they were on the shorelines, which I heard got ravaged.

Japan is so fucked though, it'skind of sad, I guess that's the downside to living on the fault line.

The news has a way of stressing things for effect I guess, I thought I was gonna die too.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda lmao. Yeah, Japan is pretty much screwed, I heard their market is going down.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Yeah, and living in Hawaii where the tourism industry is like, essential, I even notice there aren't as many Japanese tourists around.

Damn.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda They probably all died.

jkjk I wish no one died.

But Florida's economy sucks too, because they relied a lot on tourism. And then the stock market crashed.

So did the Japanese make up a really large portion of the tourists? Because if not, Hawaii might not be completely screwed.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Oh no, but what about all the hot Japanese girls? D;

Gah, that sucks.

Well, I was in town today where all the tourists usually are, and it seemed pretty normal for a weekday, not as much as there seems to be, but less.

The weekends are craaaaazy though.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda True, there are lots of hot Japanese girls.

Well, I guess people still love to go to Hawaii. Sadly, I don't think I'd ever go there, 'cause I hate planes.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 There are actually a lot of hot girls in Hawaii in general because of how ethnically diverse it is, unfortunately most lesbians here are butch. x____x'

I don't like planes either, but Japan has really cute stuffed animals, and neat trinkets. xD

I was watching some of the crappy footage from Bodom's show here, and it makes me really want to see them again. Dx

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Wait, so have you been to Japan?

And what do you mean by "butch"?

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 No, I wish, my dad has traveled a lot and been there a few times and brought stuff back for me.

Like, the ones that try to look like guys, which is gross.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Oh, you mean like trannys. Yeah that's pretty gross. There aren't a lot of them around, are there? Because I would be scared to leave my house if there was a tranny. They kind of creep me out.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Lol, yeah.

Sometimes I get confused about the gender of a lot of people because they're fat, so considering boobs doesn't help, the fat under the chin hides the neck, so no adam's apple, short hair can be found on a man or woman. It's just.... ew. lol

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Lol, that is pretty gross. I saw a fat tranny on my way home from school one day, it was pretty nasty.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 Looooooooool, ew. xD

I prefer women to look feminine, especially in the face.

[metalhed0294]

@helloredpanda Yeah. Masculine women are gross.

[helloredpanda]

@metalhed0294 This is true. Dx

[98diegoz]

esp alexi lahio hoooo yeah!!

[mangosnake]

It's aboot time canadians get recognised for their crowds !

[AutumnCymophane]

so that's how Lynch got endorsed by ESP ... !

[JessicaLovesYou24]

He is soooo hotl!

COB are foooooking epic! ♥

[awsomish]

alexi says you know alot hehehe its like a signature word:P

[Finniej]

What a stupid way to censor Alexi's "bad language". If they don't like the word shit or fuck make it a bleep not a split second of guitarplaying.

[Ningirsutyr]

@Finniej I actually think that it's much better than a usual bleep but in the end I'd prefer a no-censorship policy ;(

[NasTheWild]

april 16 children of bodom will come to greece. then alexi will rethink about how european crowds act. (that is if greece is still in europe by then...)

[Ningirsutyr]

@NasTheWild Same thing will repeat shortly after in Turkey ;) It's weird for people to forget that Southern Europeans aren't like the Northerners: just giving horns up and singing along :)

[sk8rt33]

i would kill to play like this guy.

[Finniej]

@sk8rt33 I would kill you even talk to this guy.

[TheCascade14]

Atta boy beer in his hand and guitar's behind him Lol

[alfrebame]

Accept the fact,one of the most important things tobe a guitarrist is to have your OWN sound.

[krayter]

this guy is fucking cool!!!!

[RhoadsFan9]

FUCK YEAH CANADA!

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

0:00-0:20, fuckin gay

[YAZZ69er]

Love esp guitars, just love playin um, but Alexi was sooo much better skill-wise with Jackson. He could fuckin burn licks all day on those, and it sounded clean and fuckin brutal. with esp he got alot more sloppy.

[OnyxBeastGuitar]

The song is called "just dropped in (to see what m".

The "(to see what m" part is only added on their cover album.

[mar10tjuh12]

come to the netherlands will show you some real croud!!!

[SASPython]

i love that unlike some other guitarist who have been professional for a fairly long period of time, he still practises, which shows in his solos consistency. And The things he said about other bands and solos... i could not have said it anuy better. All this shit about solos being dumb made me sick. But im starting to see that they are coming back, and its these bands like COB that are hugely contributing to the return of good music, instead of that mainstream shit *cough* GreenGay *cough*.

[SheenaAlexis]

saw COB 2 weeks ago"fucking amazing" Alexi...my guitar god :P

[Jr3ll]

alexi was awesome back in the hatebreeder days..now he is sloppy live and plays his guitar way too low to look cool..children of bodom died after alex left.

[MrOrion92]

Thursday...You better bring it Alexi!!!

[MeStewieGriffin]

Alexi FTW!

[Andytheheavy]

what song is at the begining??

[CCCPVideos]

@Andytheheavy Blooddrunk

[oULTRABEATDOWNo]

w00t canadians are the best!

[Mahabajaba]

He does still use passives, he has a signature pick-up with a gain boost. So while it still needs a battery for the boost, it's a passive pick-up.

[loki8lelouch7]

@Mahabajaba i was always curious about that thanks :)

[DietGrape]

you know

[MrTshoff]

4:00 theres blackouts in that guitar! O_O

[RevisedTV]

@MrTshoff I thought he used passives

[MrTshoff]

@RevisedTV He did but he switched to blackouts a while ago like theyre in almost every guitar he owns now.

[bodomguitar91]

@MrTshoff He has swapped back to emg now, he has his own signature emg pickup \m/\m/

[blakeandtdog1]

i have an esp ltd EX 400 and its amazing!! :)

[bubblefizz0]

@blakeandtdog1 luckyy

[joniiboy]

@blakeandtdog1 I also have an EX-401, its amazing to play, but now i play a DBZ Venom

[nakedaxe]

the guy answering the phone at the beginning kinda looks like a shiny version of Spenny from Kenny vs Spenny =)

[zachpeabody]

exactly fuck that shit!

[bumbubbler]

3:20 is their cover song off of Skeletons in the Closet of Kenny Rogers, Just Dropped In :)

[NiggyNuggetz]

errmm... any asians here who like cob??? or any british people..???

majority of my friends dont really know them...

[Jackstock500]

what songs at 3:05

[xKunjx]

sixpounder

[osamierda]

Greatest faggot in metal without a doubt

[btown346]

Wow someone clearly dosnt like good music. i bet your a Lamb of God fan....Faggot

[osamierda]

Of course, can you imagine COB playing after LOG? great embarrasment... metal is for men, not for litle boys who spend more time putting on some make up than playing guitar

[btown346]

umm last time i checke Randy Blythe is Alexi's bitch. i mean he has Bodom tattoos all over his body. Alexi dosnt have 1 LoG tattoo. and you might wanna check what band has been around longer dumbass. Randy's the little boy

[joey1364]

@btown346 lamb of god is a million times better then cob will ever be

[casperado666]

@btown346 alexi is one of theawesomest guitarists in the world

but children of bodom fucken suck, i mean the shit with that vocals just doesnt sit the melodic solos n stuff. i dont know tastes differ, but really this mixture of death and power metal is one of the few metal currents i could never get

[robibm2003]

@casperado666

I love CoB's music, but you're totally right about the cookie monster vocals messing up the enjoyment of certain bands. In Flames is another one for me. Like their tunes, hate their singing/growling. So I can totally relate to what you're saying.

[danielafilthAILD]

they're fuckin amazing!!!!!!!!!!

i love alexi

[DemonLlama25]

damn i also try and put some lead over waht ever the hell im listing to but alxi is way better at it then me i bet

[IBZ93GRG250P]

Lynch is always at the intro of ESP videos...

[bodomguitar91]

the censor for esp had their work cut out for them when they interview alexi ahah

[Quake52]

im probably wrong but is that george lynche at the beginning?

[Quake52]

awesome. just awesome

[megatroll]

It's absolutely not my type of music, but I really have huge respect for Alexi! He's clearly talented and works hard and has love for music! :D

[metallicatriviumPwN]

its ot that bands dont like to play guitar solos its that alot of new bands can't

[zachpeabody]

@metallicatriviumPwN well Laiho definitly can.

[MariusSoma]

@metallicatriviumPwN DragonFarce XD

[BrunBacken]

"I just dropped in, to se what condition my condition was in!". I love this, Big Lebowski soundtrack cover.. Hope alexi likes Big Lebowski. One of the greatest movies ever!

[Cranorangegrap7934]

hahaha 3:06 alexi said "thats gay"

[king666nothing]

Shredding to Bon Jovi CD - that's so fucking metal!!! LOL

[smufmigeifmig]

i dont really like him but i like how he enjoys playing guitar. thats an attitude every guitarist should have

[HeavyMetalHeadGuy]

i could never in my dreams b as good as alexi. hes ridiculous. bodoms cover of opps i did it again is hilarious. any1 heard it?

[Stopthecrash]

I love how he praises Canadians for their style at concerts xD

[j0rgazmi]

roope´s guitar is fuckin awesome:P

[sk8monster112]

roope's shirt is awesome... die!

[nunofrg]

.. fuck you, ok? if you dont like children of bodom get the hell out of here. why the fuck you´ve come here and watch this video anyway you fucking asshole?

[TehChiken]

fake accent?

[AutumnCymophane]

the day u'll speak finnish like he speaks english without faking any accent, this day u could open ur trap dude

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

exactly i believe finish is like THE hardest language to learn.

[antipunx]

It's really not THAT hard. But it's tricky, I've been learning it for a while now.

[Heeya13]

god you're an idiot.......your name suits you well you annoying asshole

[nunofrg]

RL- 600 RULES

[SeventySevenScars]

you gotta love this guy if your a guitarist your self. For starters he is like the most mental awesome guitar player like ever, and he is a good idol to have other than his obsession for tattoos that really don't look great and he finds playing guitar fun. so there it is.

[billyhanna420]

what does cobhc stand for?

[brainbanx]

children of bodom hate crew

[DemonMetal666]

duh!

[boringwoodson]
