Bay Area Backstage Gigantour 08 Children Of Bodom Interview

BAY AREA BACKSTAGE MichaelMagic presents: an interview with CHILDREN OF BODOM's Alexi Laiho and Janne Warman

On Monday (May 19th 2008) metal madness hit the Bay Area as the third annual Gigantour came to town-- this year's lineup featured veteran metal gods Megadeth, the Swedish metal band In Flames, melodic-death metal thrashers Children Of Bodom, deathcore pioneers Job For A Cowboy, and the stoner-doom metal band High On Fire.
After meeting and greeting Megadeth, the Bay Area Backstage crew caught up with Bodom's Alexi Laiho (guitar/vox) and Janne Warman (keyboard) for an exclusive on-location interview at the San Jose State University event center. Even though the Bodom dudes have a pretty busy schedule, Alexi and Janne were still willing to give up a few minutes of their time to discuss their experience on Gigantour, upcoming tour dates in the United States and abroad, the success of their latest album "Blooddrunk", and their new-found appreciation for Jesus & Journey.
Being the big Bodom fan that I am, I had a really fun time talking with the "Booze Brothers"-- I hope that you guys enjoy the interview as much as I did!

All the time i've been watching this i've thought but 2 things

1. Alexi is so sexy he don't need to contribute that much.

2. Janne is wearing the same hat he was when they did the video for their cover of looking out my backdoor XD
