Children Of Bodom

[Hells Bells]

Yeah, I didn't get into bodom until a few months ago, and when I did I was really disappointed that I missed them last year. Well, it's not happenin' this time, I already have my tickets. All I've gotta do is wait until November 11th :D

[Shattered_Future]

My parents probably wouldn't let me go to Bodom anyway... :evil:

Meh, I've fallen off them in recent times. I'd rather go see something else. :D

I have to wait until Dec 5. I couldn't believe that the tickets were $17.00 a piece.

[MRDuCran]

Where do you buy tickets?

[Hells Bells]

I have to wait until Dec 5. I couldn't believe that the tickets were $17.00 a piece.

Ahh you suck :p

Mine were $30 CDN, which ends up being more expensive even if you convert it to US dollars.

[blue3]

Where do you buy tickets?Ticketmaster?

[MRDuCran]

I'm not sure what that is as i've never done it before, nor have i ever thought about it. I wanna get tickets for Bodom when they come to the Uk in Jan '06.

[Scoot]

Have you heard CoB cover that Britney Spears song?

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Am I hearing (reading?) what I think I'm hearing?! Tsk tsk...

FINALLY CHILDREN OF BODOM IN TAMPA AGAIN! I missed last october's concert...NOT this time.

You're in Tampa?

yeah its been boring. ITS ALL SCHOOL'S FAULT :evil:

I wouldn't mind running the forum though :p

Agreed.
I'm sure you wouldn't. Mr. HateCrew warrior. :D

Ach, lately she's been here less and less too. We don't really have anyone who 'runs' it anymore.

That is so frustrating. I hate being away from the board too long. I always start out by checking BodomAfterMidnight, and then by the time someone's gotten on, I forget about this thread. :upset:

yeah taste my scythe really runs it now.


:lol: Not really...

[Shadows]

I'm worried. The guy I thought would be taking me is saying he's not sure if he wants to see Bodom or a bunch of death metal bands at the same venue a week or so after. :( I'll just have to drop hints towards the CoB show. Luckily, a local melodic death band will be opening the CoB show, provided they sell 100 tickets. So for $15(US) a piece we could see Bodom and help out some local metalheads. Not a bad deal.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Nope, not at all. Yikes though...I'd be worried too.

[Shadows]

I'm trying to talk him into it. The problem is thathe's rpoviding the transportation so it would be rude of me to ask him to "consider what I want" since he was nice enough to offer.

Aw screw it, he's pretty much my best friend. I can say whatever the hell I want to him. :evil: :D

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Yeah, best friend would be good. So this best friend doesn't like death metal? Which Bodom really isn't anyway...

[Shadows]

No, he ****ing loves death metal. That's why he's not sure if he wants to go see Bodom or the death metal show. He's the only one at my school I can really relate to. :(

[Shattered_Future]

It depends...if the local MDM band is GOOD, it's wise to go and support them...bands need all the support they can get.

It's worse than most people think... :upset:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

[blue3]

I'm not sure what that is as i've never done it before, nor have i ever thought about it. I wanna get tickets for Bodom when they come to the Uk in Jan '06.Ticketmaster? It's just a website where you can get tickets..

Have you heard CoB cover that Britney Spears song?Yes.

[Scoot]

Yes.

Brutal, eh?

[Shattered_Future]

/pats Mike on the back

Nooo, it's not about me...my band actually has to play the same SONG together before we get supported. :p

I meant people around me...my dad's group needs support, my cousin's group (who are quite good, actually) needs support, and my best friend's band (I put the idea to play bass in his head...hasn't looked back since :) ) needs support as well.

People just aren't really willing to give it a listen...they're content with their Top 40 music. :evil:

[Hells Bells]

True, especially if they're local. They make nothing off of record sales, and most of the money they make from shows goes to pay for the venue and studio time.

My dad has to PAY for his goddam records... :evil:

Which really sucks, because (maybe this is a little biased...not by much, though), he's probably one of the best guitarists around today. Nobody knows who he is though. Why? Cause he plays JAZZ! Nobody listens to jazz anymore, which is a shame...

Shirts? :lol:

That would be rather odd, seeing a 40 something balding guy with a semihollowbody guitar on it. :p

Brutal, eh?I found it funny..

Yeah, a few of my friends decided to record an album for their band. Record sales didn't cover the costs of the studio and they had to pay the difference. Studios are flipping expensive too :evil:

:lol: You wouldn't have to put your dad on it, you could have a logo. I like to think I can draw, so if TMS really wanted to do those shirts I could design one.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Whoa! Slow down there!! We actually need to hear the band before we start organizing shirt-making and logos.

Righto. So, Mike. Whenever you can upload stuff, Hells here and I will be ready with the logos and the shirtmaking. :D Providing we like them, of course.
Gotta go guys...see ya later.

You know, you could sound a lot more intelligent and not make people like me mad if you just said "I like the sweeps". Talking like that just makes you look stupid.

[AA-12]

Nobody listens to jazz anymore, which is a shame...

So true man :-(

It's so underappreciated. I still love showing Malmsteen fanboys people like John McLaughlin and Shawn Lane.

[NEVRMORE2]

Shawn Lane.
actually my teacher let me borrow some vids of him playing and i dident think they where very good i think malmsteens better.

[Shadows]

So...that Children of Bodom is one great band eh?

You may not like his style, but you have to admit that he is one of the most skilled guitarists ever. I actually don't think that there's been another guitarist that is technically better than him.

not from what i saw i wasnt as impressed as alexi and malmsteen

[Xerxes]

I must ignore the lyrics on most songs. They are, for the most part, aura ruining.

[Shadows]

:confused: Tee-sassy uploaded a live video of him playing and I thought he was great. Keep in mind that there's a whole lot more to guitar than speed and shredding.

[AA-12]

Trust me, Lane is way faster than Alexi and Malmsteen put together. The thing is though, he doesn't overdue it at all with fast playing. He also mastered theory in general, meaning that he can seamlessly play on guitar, keyboard, bass, etc.

Well said, buddy. Kirk Hammet is way faster than SRV, but that doesnt make him better, now does it?

[MRDuCran]

Yeah Lane is incredible. I have one of his instructional videos. I'm not a fan of jazz but i can admit that guy is the fastest i've ever seen. Also has some nice compositions so he's not all speed.

[Shattered_Future]

Is Shawn Lane the guy with the 8 string guitar?

If yes, he's hella good.

If not, I'm thinking of somebody else...

[Shadows]

He was playing a six string in the video I saw. Is it just me, or does an 8 string guitar seem a little excessive?

[Shattered_Future]

If you can play it right, no...cause it effectively eliminates the need for a bass.

[Thor]

Yeah, and we bassists don't get enough credit now anyways! :D

[Shadows]

If you can play it right, no...cause it effectively eliminates the need for a bass.
I suppose. I always thought it makes more sense to make full use of a bassist. I'd rather go without a bass because a guitar with such a low pitch sounds terrible. It's like nu metal crap. But I guess when done right it can be as good as anything else.

[MRDuCran]

Nah thats Rusty Cooley. He's extremely fast also.

:lol: you finally listened to it. I like it alot aswell.

what did you think of reap n roll licks?

[Shadows]

Holy Jesus...I've listened to that, the title track, and right now I'm on If You Want Peace... and I think those are even better. The solos on If You Want Peace are ****ing thrash metal. The music is fast and unrelentless...oh my god...I can't ****ing wait for the release and the tour.

I haven't even watched Reap n' Roll yet, but I will as soon as I'm done with this.

[Neurotoxin]

If anyone has yet to hear the new Bodom, head over here (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9505143#post9505143) to download it.

:( But you didn't give any kind of badass introduction or anything!

[Neurotoxin]

That's because they're Bodom, and everyone knows who Bodom is.

I've seen plenty of people who had no idea who they were. It's good to get the new album out there though.

Yep, that's the video for the new single In Your Face. SoB has a very low quality stream of it up too.

I've played an 8 string. They are very cool. I'm getting a 6 (maybe 7 if i'm lucky) string bass soon. I'm obsessed with having more musical possibilities, haha.

[Shadows]

Are you kidding? I'm the exact opposite. His vocals are worse than ever (I couldn't care less about that though) but his guitar work is still flawless. Listen to the solos on If You Want Peace... Prepare for War. That's just ****ing insane thrash metal.

naw now i can understand the vocals and i dont think that guitar work compares to song like kissing the shadows

[MRDuCran]

Is it strange that when i learn Bodom lyrics, i don't even pay attention to what they mean or what Alexi was thinking when he wrote them, i just worry about actually remembering them.

[Huber]

I don't think his vocals changed for the worst, just changed.

I haven't heard the whole album, but from what I heard it's going in a more heavy direction, and I like it a lot.

Not if your name is Frederik.

I don't follow that logic. I think the guitar playing, in terms of soloing, surpasses much of their older work - Follow the Reaper would be the exception. Leads and licks are few if any, but the soloing is amazing. But when I go back and listen to Something Wild, Hatebreeder, and HCDR, many of the AYDY solos are even faster and longer.

[Shattered_Future]

Each album is different...AYDY is honestly one of my new favorites. It's original, it's catchy, and it sounds great.

dont get me wrong the new album is seriously one of my favs right now i cant wait till it comes out i just dont think solo wise compares to follow the reaper.

[Shadows]

dont get me wrong the new album is seriously one of my favs right now i cant wait till it comes out i just dont think solo wise compares to follow the reaper.Yeah, the soloing has been toned down a bit. It's still there in full force, but AYDY doesn't have the orgasmically over the top shredfests that Follow the Reaper.
Each album is different...AYDY is honestly one of my new favorites. It's original, it's catchy, and it sounds great.I agree. I think this is betetr than HCDR. It is so original - I've honestly never heard anything like it by any band before. The riffs, melodies, solos, and vocals are all to unique and amazing.

[Hells Bells]

I'm with ya on the new album IheartSP, well what I've heard from it anyway. People have been saying that the songs that were released so far were just radio edits and the actual versions are better though...I'll give it another chance.

[Silenius]

I am I'm jsut saying, I hate the new album, everyone else thinks its so great, I just see garbage...
CoB has gotten worse since Follow the Reaper. Everything up till then was brilliant. They're kinda going downward now. Theyre still pretty **** good though.

[MRDuCran]

I love everything they've done. I'm a CoB whore.

[Shadows]

I am I'm jsut saying, I hate the new album, everyone else thinks its so great, I just see garbage...
That doesn't mean you're not welcome. You still love old CoB right? :) I love the new album, but they'd have to really, really impress me to match Hatebreeder or Follow the Reaper.

So where have you been lately anyway?

[Moses]

I haven't heard the new album hopefully it's as good as everyone says it is.

[Shadows]

It depends. What do you think of HCDR? More importantly, what do you think of IYF?

I don't know what we're going to do now that music uploading is banned from MX. :(

[MRDuCran]

So any thread that has an uploded file will be closed?

[metalhead_matt]

favourite CoB song at the mo is Bed Of Razors :D

[NEVRMORE2]

did COB do a cover of immgrant song?

[Shadows]

Apparently some gut in the Bass Forum posted in the Bass Forums' YSI thread threatening to report them to Yousendit. I checked his posts out and he seemed to do it for no reason. Anyway, the mods took notice and MX decided that all YSI threads are banned because so much music was being illegally uploaded over the site that we could've gotten in trouble. And from the sound of it, uploading in general is now frowned upon.

:eek: I just realized, this means I won't be able to put any uploads in my AYDY review like I had planned! :upset: I guess I'll have to make it work with plain old text. Thanks a lot for the uploads everyone. It's good to have some CoB videos for personal enjoyment.

[Shattered_Future]

It's just freaking music...

Honestly, if I were in any of those bands that people were requesting for, I'd be honored...in fact, I'd encourage uploading. You expose more people to your music that way.

Living Dead Beat (Bent? Still don't know the ****ing title) is major ownage...

[MRDuCran]

Has anyone else noticed that some of the lyrics are missing in the Hatebreeder booklet. Black Widow is the only one i can remember...

[Shadows]

Has anyone else noticed that some of the lyrics are missing in the Hatebreeder booklet. Black Widow is the only one i can remember...
It's like that for every album. Alexi doesn't think he's a very good lyricist, so he only includes the lyrics he likes in the booklets. It's usually less than half the album that makes it in.

Did I mention the new album is amazing? But without uploads, my AYDY review will be very difficult to make interesting. :upset:

[MRDuCran]

I see. That's a shame cause Black Widow is one of my favs off that album but of course i can just get the lyrics off the net even thought they're probably wrong.

I've experienced the album myself, In Your Face is definately my favourite. It's a shame about that review though...

[Shadows]

'Tis. I don't know how to narrow down some recommended song; I may just have to go with another "any of them". :cool: Right now I rank AYDY pretty highly and I doubt this is just excitement because it's new.

[IheartSP]

I think Alexi is a terrible lyricist too, so at least we are on the same page.

[Shattered_Future]

The great thing about Alexi's voice is you can scream incoherently, and throw in a "****" or "needles" or "razor" or "reaper" for good measure. :D

You're still allowed to upload videos...why not just do that?

[Shadows]

Are videos still allowed? I thought Ken was saying that uploading any music was illegal. Perhaps I may still work some videos in there.

Of course Alexi is a terrible lyricist. It's part of his charm. :) But from what I've heard, many songs on AYDY have very good lyrics. Keep in mind I'm judging from a few lines of lyrics out of the whole album because I usually can't tell what the hell he's saying.

[IheartSP]

I don't give a flying fuc* mother fuc*er about 10 times over is bad lyrics if you ask me.

[Shadows Within]

if we can upload vids i got a kissing the shadow live vid or im on aim (aim is: quigfoas) its pretty sweet video the sweeping is great.

[Shadows]

I'm talking about other songs. In the title track he screams something about "tainted flesh, polluted soul" which I think sounds great. He also says "should I regret or ask myself...are you dead yet?" which I really love in the song.

Of course AYDY has some terrible lyrics. It wouldn't be a CoB album without them.

[MRDuCran]

Shouldn't we focus on the incredible playing on the new album instead of the suck arse lyrics? Mainly the solos cause i know some people think the riffs are a bit bland.

:lol: Oh man yeah, I remember my first impression of bodom - I heard Kissing the Shadows and was completely blown away by the intrumental part of it. I couldn't understand what Alexi was saying through those growls though, so I went and looked up the lyrics...

Bland riffing? The riffs make the album, my friend. The guitar combined with the keyboards make some really cool, unique riffs. The solos, I'm glad, are still there in full force as well. They're more thrash-oriented now.

EDIT: I just checked what Ken had to say in the YSI thread. He said no free music transfers are allowed on the boards, period. That means no videos. :upset:

You should probably still be able to stream them. That might also work better, since it might be difficult for some people to download whole videos.

What i said isn't my opinion but i had the impression that most CoB fans weren't too impressed with the lack of neo-classicalness like Follow the Reaper and Hatebreeder. I agree with anyone that says this is just another wonderful album to go with the rest :)

[Shadows]

You should probably still be able to stream them. That might also work better, since it might be difficult for some people to download whole videos.
That was my initial thought. If people were able to follow a link and watch it directly instead of ahving to download it they're more likely to watch the videos. That problem is that I don't know any site where I could stream that many videos, each of which has a huge file size. Any ideas?

What i said isn't my opinion but i had the impression that most CoB fans weren't too impressed with the lack of neo-classicalness like Follow the Reaper and Hatebreeder. I agree with anyone that says this is just another wonderful album to go with the rest :)With me, it doesn't matter how they get the sound, as long as the sound is great, kickass metal. That's what the new album is. It's very different but it still has familiar elements that I love from Bodom.

[MRDuCran]

Exactly :thumb:

[Thor]

did COB do a cover of immgrant song?
Not that I know of, it would be pretty interesting to hear though. They need to stop making so many covers and focus on writing original material though.

[Shadows]

I've been wondering...since all the official threads have been changing their names, and this is basically the official CoB thread, what would you guys think about changing the thread name? I'm just wondering. I'm indifferent either way.

[IheartSP]

Why not call this Bodom After Midnight?

[Shattered_Future]

I'm with whatever...Bodom After Midnight sounds fine.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I like Bodom after midnight

[Shadows Within]

Any particular reason why? I'm sure this would've been bumped for some reason soon anyway. :)

I'm cool with any name. It just hit me that we had the option.

[GenuineImitation]

I think bodom after midnight would be a good idea, but if your going to use song names, why not lake Bodom?

EDIT: I'll go with Bodom after Midnight

[AA-12]

Bodom After Midnight is my vote. I'm so happy today, it's crazy. Hopefully my whole weekend will be like this.

[Shadows]

Call in sick, haha.
I've been considering it. I was actually planning on doing stuff this weekend. A good friend asked me if I would do a two-man Goregrind project with him, and we were supposed to get together to start writing and practicing. I'm also making good process with writing for my solo black metal project, and that same guy was supposed to help me with rhythm guitar and keyboards.

I've waited for so ****ing long to be in a band. And now I've gotten the opportunity to do two of them, and thanks to the horrid Gladieux Enterprises, all that is sunk for at least another week. **** you, employment. I'm very pissed off if you couldn't tell. :mad:

[Shadows Within]

im kinda excited cauyse i going to a guitar competition thats going to be covered on the radio (im not playing my friend is hes pretty good but way too obsessed with zakk wylde but iv got him into COB and nevermore and he got me into trivium) itll be pretty fun i went to one where he was in it, and got a special second place prize. its interesting to see the other types of guitarist there are out there (although i have too admit some of them did suck but atleast they tried id sign up but i dunno what i would play :p).

[Thor]

I think bodom after midnight would be a good idea, but if your going to use song names, why not lake Bodom?

That's a good solid song, but why pick that when you could choose Children of Decadence? :thumb:

[Shattered_Future]

Or, we could be...Following The Reaper: A Bodom Thread :p

Hopefully, my band gets together tomorrow...we finally found a song we can all play: Prevent This Tragedy by Alkaline Trio.

And I still have to come up with a keyboard/drum part for the original I'm writing...

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I got to hang out with my girlfriend for most of the day today. I'm always happy when I get to spend a lot of time with her.

Hey guys. I can't get into Bodom After Midnight.
No...that's not the only reason I'm here... :p

Thanks :)

I get to spend more time with her later too.

It's okay. I couldn't get in either.

EDIT: It seems to be working now.

I love everything they've done. I'm a CoB whore.

yeah, the last time I tried to get on I couldn't...and that was a couple days ago.

New thread title name...from the looks of it, we're going to be "Bodom After Midnight".

[IheartSP]

Its ok ShadowsFallen, I can't get women either. I don't think I really have a problem with it, it's just my school in peticular. I do fine everywhere else, but girls in my school hate me.

[Shadows]

Most girls I know at school like me...maybe it's all the heavy metal and isane guitar playing. \m/ (><) \m/ I'll leave my dignity in tact by pretending that's the reason.

Meh, girls are overrated. I'll find another guy.

Oh man, that was gay beyond belief. I'm so desperately lonely. :)

[IheartSP]

In my school im the only metalhead who has the balls to show hes a metalhead, chicks just call me a goth even tho i am very far from one.

[Shadows]

I'm one of two metalheads in my school. Most people just consider us "devil worshippers" or something along those stupid lines but never really ask us about it.

[IheartSP]

Yeah people think I'm a satanist too, and there aren't many hot girls that aren't preppy, so they don't like me for being different.

[Shadows]

All the really hot girls at my school are incredibly emo. :( That basically means they'll have sex with any guy who can whine into a mic. God forbid the rest of us who actually know how to play should get any credit. :mad: They always say "oooohhh you listen to that hardcore stuff like Korn". I always say...actually, I'm always speechless when they say that.

[IheartSP]

Yeah the emo thing is just starting to set in around here. Most of the hot girls are just like preppy cuase I live in a rich area, but some are starting to dye their hair black and such.

just curious, why is it that you are on mx more than aim? I am on both at the same time, whenever I'm ont he computer i just go to mx and aim. Just curious as to why you wouldn't turn aim on.

[blue3]

I wore a Pink Floyd band shirt and these girls called me emo cause they're retarded. I hate my school. Anyways, I'm listening to Triple Corpse Hammerblow.

[bringbacktheshred]

Hey guys, i've been reading this forum for a while, but i haven't bothered to post. Quick question, do you guys reckon that the new album tops all of the others, musically?

[Huber]

It's really hard for me to rate a CoB album musically. The only reason I can find myself saying I like Follow the Reaper more than the others is because I listen to it more. However, most of the albums really have something unique about each of them, and the same goes for the new one, and it really just matters what kinda mood I'm in or which one sounds good at the time.

[dest. Chaos]

Yeah people think I'm a satanist too, and there aren't many hot girls that aren't preppy, so they don't like me for being different.
that was the case in my old school. almost all girls in my old class hated me cause I was myself, every1 who were themselves was hated in that school lol. now I have started in a new school. I live in sweden and first you go 9 years (7-16) compulsory school and after that you can choose a program and of course I choosed "aesthetic music". And in now my new class and somehow my best friends are girls... some hot stuff too :thumb:

[Thor]

You should show those girls some Bodom and then ask them if they think you are emo.

[IheartSP]

Well, I also really hate America, I wish I lived in Sweden...

[flamesofbodom]

Me too. No one here even knows music as it truley is. I wore a Mastodon shirt yesterday and because there's a skull on it im a satanist. The emo band thing holds up at my school to btw.

[Thor]

Sweden would be a decent place to live, except that it's dark all the time over there. If Switzerland had a metal scene I would definetly choose that place.

[flamesofbodom]

Switzerland is a metal scene

[Thor]

^^^
Not when I was there this summer, I didn't see one single metal CD from there. They all listened to American music.

Haha, there was a bar that was playing the Thong Song. I couldn't help but laugh.

[IheartSP]

Yes weather is a problem for the scandinavian countries. Living in italy wouldn't be that bad. Although it's highly christian (and i am a hardcore athiest) you would have really nice weather, good people, and a decent music scene.

[Shadows Within]

id reallly like to live in finland or sweden but unfortunatly me and 4 others at school like metal im the only one into european metal besides my friend who likes COB.

[IheartSP]

If there was some European foreign exchange program I would think about ditching my band for a while and go there, but my band is very important to me so idk.

[Wo@lcan]

you're wrong

[Shadows]

There are only a few people I talk to on AIM, you being one of them. I usually don't turn it on because I'll have the window up with nobody to talk to. Lately I've been using AIM as well as MX, but sometimes I still don't.

[IheartSP]

I hate my band they are all a bunch of retards. Practice was supposed to be at 2, so I show up at the drummers house, which is a half hour drive, no one is there. I call my bassist and hes like uuhhh i forgot to tell you its not till 3 now. I can't get a ride then so now there is no practice at all. Saturdays are the only days we can do it, it's ridiculous.

[Shadows]

Put your foot in your bassists ***. I've been through the same thing a while back and it's very frustrating. Buy a drum machine just to spite your drummer.

[IheartSP]

My bassist was stupid for not tleling me, but I'm much madder at my drummer for postponing practice so he can go play golf.

[Shadows]

Golf? He traded music for golf? :confused: He needs to set his priorities straight - shove a golf club up his urethra. That will show him who's boss, and it will hurt like a mother****er!

[IheartSP]

No nvm, I got the details wrong, this is 100% my bassists fault. If he had called and told me before I left I coulda just waited an hour, everyone but me and him are there right now.

[Shadows]

Throw his bass into a wood chipper. Then, as he realizes he just lost his bass, throw him in too.

I guess there's something about bassists. Way back when I was in a band my bassist was retarded too.

[IheartSP]

I can't do that, hes the only bassist in my school, and hes actually really good.

[AA-12]

He needs to set his priorities straight - shove a golf club up his urethra.

Anyway, i'm sick of most of the music scenes in America. I'll be out of here in about a year though :cool:

I know that. I wasn't seriously telling you to throw him in a wood chipper. :lol:

I tend to over exaggerate with brutally violent and completely inappropriate comments. Obviously everyone screws up. But if he really got too bad, it is possible to have a band without a bassist.

[IheartSP]

Last practice he was supposed to bring a capo for my ryhtym guitarist so we could play songs in E standard, he forgot it even tho I told him 3 times. The time before that he told us he had a ride but didn't so he didn't end up going.

[Squirrel]

I lived in Finland.

On a floyd rose yes

I still don't see why a floyd would require that.

[Squirrel]

Cool.

[Shadows]

On a floyd rose yesI feel your pain. :( The springs in the bridge go crazy as soon as you unlock it mess with the tuning. Luckily I don't have a guitar lesson for a couple weeks so I restrung my guitar with .11's and left it in drop C. Still, if you have an allen wrench and know how to do it it only takes a few minutes to tune.
I swear, we must be twins.Yeah, it seems as if I often say things you would say. :)

I laugh so hard everytime I look at your avatar. :lol:

[AA-12]

Cool.
How was it?

[IheartSP]

Me and my rythym guitarist tune to D, instead of spending half an hour tuning back up to E we just use a capo on the 2nd fret.

[Shadows]

Half an hour?? Do you have some kind of cheap Floyd Rose knock off?

[IheartSP]

I have a Jackson KE-3. You gotta take off the locks, tune, fix the bridge, retune, then lock it again.

[Shadows]

That's the way mine is. That's just how Floyd Roses are, I guess. I retune my guitar so often that I can do it pretty quickly. It takes my a few minutes.

[AA-12]

Me and my rythym guitarist tune to D, instead of spending half an hour tuning back up to E we just use a capo on the 2nd fret.
Man, that sucks. It takes me under a minute to tune a few steps down/up.

[Shadows]

The benefits of a Floyd Rose outweigh the problems in my opinion. Once you tune it up and lock it down the thing never slips out of tune. At all. It's really amazing. You could wank with the tremolo bar all you want and the tuning won't be affected.

[Squirrel]

How was it?

Cold.

Dry cold.

I kind of wanted a little more description lol. Is it like spicy, sweet, what kind of dishes do they have? Also how are the people there, are they nice? I know Alexi is a jerk I hope not everyone is like that.

[Squirrel]

The people are probably the nicest you'd ever meet on earth, they lvoe anyone and everyone.

Food is really meaty and cooked - reindeer, seas birds like puffins and lots of fish and shoreland food. They cook stuff loads, hours of boiling, basting and cooking with loads of tastes added.

They also have lots of soups and broths made from reeds, mosses and grasses and stuff.

[Drall]

sup iheart :-*

[IheartSP]

Hey Drall, long time no see? I don't go to the guitar forum anymore. We should jam again sometime, I can actually shred now.

Squirell the food sounds cool. I'm not a fan of seafood but it all sounds very natural with the herbs and grasses and such. It's good the people are nice, doesn't sound like it's New York over there.

Wow, Henkka is a really really nice person. He seems to be more of an average guy - doesn't drink much, watches a lot of TV, and hates rudeness and dishonesty.

I don't see Alexi as a jerk though. I've read many interviews with him and he seems to be a really nice guy who likes to drink and have a good time. He's not a mean drunk like Janne either. :)

http://www.cobhc.com/interviews/cobi1.html

He always seemed to be a pretty nice guy to me.

[IheartSP]

Alexi does seem nice in the interviews but I seem to infer sometimes that he is not. Just his personality sometimes bothers me, like how he "hates the internet" and how hes all about "fuc* everybody but me" it just seems a little jerkish.

[Shadows]

I can understand why he hates the internet. As a musician in a not-so-popular band, downloading mp3's can really hurt his financial situation and have a huge impact on whether or not he can continue his music career.

I never picked up a "**** everyone but me" attitude though. At least not for a while. He might've been back when he was trying to kill himself, but depression can cause all kinds of **** in a person.

[IheartSP]

I guess maybe I'd like him, I'm kind of a jerk too lol. He kinda reminds me of a skinny blonde finnish Zakk Wylde I guess, I jsut hope he isn't a conservative redneck :p. I mean in terms of attitude.

[Shadows]

I don't find Alexi as intimidating as Zakk Wylde, but he certainly drinks as much. :)

[Shadows Within]

conservative rednecki find that kind of offensive im concervative (im not a redneck) id rather be a conservative redneck than a liberal jerk.

[MRDuCran]

Alexi has always seemed to act like Malmsteen to me, if you watch his instructional videos you can see that they act similar.

By the way, on Reap N Roll licks, are demo 7 and 8 part of any Bodom songs? I've scanned all the ones i have but i can't seem to find them.

[VeedBok]

I don't find Alexi as intimidating as Zakk Wylde, but he certainly drinks as much. :)

Well Zakk is way bigger than Alexi, and Zakk also lifts alot of wieghts to keep his guns up to par. He could probably one punch Alexi.

[Shadows]

I like watching the way Alexi acts in Passage to the Reaper. It's amusing. I think the way he constantly plays with his hair is very feminine.

But on Alexi's "Passage to the reaper" dvd... is demonstration #2 a COB song? If it is can someone give me the title of it?

I like Opeth. The new album kicks ***. I got arch enemy's new album and I was glad to hear the blast beats in the fold once again. THey never get old! I much prefer this album compared to the more melodic previous effort.
