Children Of Bodom

[AA-12]

Oh, I'm sorry about your breakup...I remember you talking about your girlfriend and how happy you were to go see her. :upset:
Yeah, I still love her more than anything. Even if we aren't together, I still feel great being around her.

/emos up the thread

[Shadows]

:-O
Why didn't you tell me?? I was just thinking to myself "who is this guy? He seems pretty cool, but how have I never seen him if he has such a huge postcount?"

I hate you with love. :mad:

I'm sorry. :(

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Josh - Would you mind if I asked what happened? If you don't want to talk about it, it's ok.

[AA-12]

Would you mind if I asked what happened? If you don't want to talk about it, it's ok.
Well, I would tell you if I knew, but I can't even figure out everything. I'm quite confused.

Anyway, has anyone found any good AYDY? tabs?

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Gotcha.
The In Your Face tab at mysongbook is pretty good. I learned to play Janne's opening piano stuff on the piano from that. Not to mention Lord Abortion.... :D

[Melodic_shredding]

c.o.b. is one of my favorites, but follow the reaper was a huge dissappointment.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

:amaze: Why do you say that?

[Shadows Within]

that was there best

[Taste_My_Scythe]

In my opinion too.

[Shadows Within]

In my opinion too.

Thanks so much. Sometimes I just go to user CP instead of checking the entire forum.

So far I've signed up for Toxins' Daily, Classic Rock, Power Metal...and one other, but I can't remember which.

There is a power metal uplad? I must of missed it.

[dest. Chaos]

hi everybody!!!! I'm falling in love with AYDY?.... it's getting better and better. it has become my favourite album atm. cos i always want to listen to it. :)

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I know...I can't not listen to it. I said I didn't like in the beginning and then I ended up loving it. Hey, can you tell me what lyrics are in the booklet? Please?

Where've you been? Haven't seen you in a while. :wave:

I saw that, and I signed up immediately.

POWER METAL POPE!

[Taste_My_Scythe]

hahahah...that was good. Who is that, John Paul? Not Benedict

[Shattered_Future]

No, tisn't nazi pope...tis the normal pope.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

As in, John Paul. I saw Benedict...don't like him at all. Way too conservative for my tastes

[AA-12]

I don't like any popes at all :-\

So what's in it then?

[AA-12]

Yeah, I'm just Christian, nothing more nothing less. I don't really believe in certain churches and such. All you need is one connection to God, not other people telling you how to achieve this.

Is that from the new HIM album? If so, how is it?

I agree completely. I don't know what I believe in, but I do feel that Christianity goes way ****ing overboard sometimes.

Is that from the new HIM album? If so, how is it?

No, it's from Love Metal. I've got Love Metal and Razorblade Romance, and my friend is buying me a copy of Dark Light as soon as it comes out.
Have you heard anything from Dark Light yet? Great stuff! :thumb:

[Hale_of_Gunfire]

I gotta say children of bodom is an incredibly good band, especially on HCDR and Follow the reaper. Also I love their cover of the trooper!

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Was it their cover? Hmm...I could never figure that out. It didn't sound much like Alexi.

[EverytimeIBodom]

I heard it a while back, from what I can remember it didn't sound like them.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

It was good...but weird. It sounded like Children of Bodom, but not.

[EverytimeIBodom]

It was good...but weird. It sounded like Children of Bodom, but not.
Well I didn't really enjoy the Iron Maiden covers they did. That might just be because I love Iron Maiden so.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I loved Aces High. :D

[Shadows]

I've never been fond of CoB covers.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I like Somebody Put Something in My Drink...

[Shadows]

I like Bed of Nails and She is Beautiful. Their Silent Scream cover isn't bad, but other than that I dislike them.

[EverytimeIBodom]

I haven't heard that one.

EDIT: And I won't be hearing it now, I've gotta get off. :wave:

Hellion and No Commands are excellent

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I haven't heard that one.

EDIT: And I won't be hearing it now, I've gotta get off. :wave:

Ciao ciao

I love Bed of Nails!! My favorite Alice Cooper song EVER, covered by my favorite band.

[Shadows]

Hellion and No Commands are excellent
I dislike those, unfortunately.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I haven't heard No Commands, and I don't like Hellion at all.

[alphamonkey]

The only thing i don't like about Hellion is that there aren't any keyboards.

[cliffuall89]

black widow is awsome

[flamesofbodom]

yes, yes it is

[Shadows]

Of course it is.

[Matas]

i think Hellion is my favorite cob cover, theres still some atmospheric keyboard/synthesizer whatever you wanna call it thats present in the cover

[EverytimeIBodom]

Hey, I gotta come back on :)

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I love alot of there songs i wont go through nameing all of them but my absolute fav. would have to be Lake Bodom

[Shadows]

Lake Bodom is a freakin' classic. I love it.

[EverytimeIBodom]

Lake Bodom is a freakin' classic. I love it.
Yeah it's great.

/listens to it

[The Buttloaves]

Lake Bodom ha the coolest intro, but I don't really like the rest of the song.

[MRDuCran]

Has anybody else noticed how amazing Jannes solos are in Lil' Bloodred Ridin' Hood and Bodom Beach Terror?? I love the way he plays a melody, holds a note, then fades in the same note but an octave higher then carries on the solo, so sweet.

[Shattered_Future]

I love his solo in Chokehold. It's brilliant...that harmonized part just makes me sit and stare...

[Shadows]

w00t

My friends are out buying our tickets to see Bodom right now. :cool: I am now going to see them for sure. \m/

[MRDuCran]

Yeah, one of my favs from that album.

Also, check out my new avatar!! \m/

My friends came and dropped off my ticket to see CoB a few hours ago. Kickass my friends, this is a fateful weekend. \m/

That was the first Bodom song I ever heard. I went out and bought hatenreeder that same day.

I'm listening to Cradle of Filth right now. It's great. I also just finished listening to At the Gates.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

What song?
Filth, I mean.

[Shadows]

Right now it's The Rape and Ruin of Angels (Hosannis In Extremis). I should upload that and Queen of Winter, Throned. Both top-notch songs.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I haven't heard any of those.

[Shadows]

That's because this EP is a little tougher to find than their other stuff. Ollie doesn't even have it.

Looks like I've got something on him now. :cool:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Haha. You asked him if he had it? How'd you get it?

[Shadows]

I downloaded it. He's been asking for someone to send it to him for quite a while. Now I finally can.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Cool. :cool:

[IheartSP]

Man this sucks theres like 10 parties tonight and I'm stuck at home wtaching my little brothers.

[Shadows]

I'm ****ing bored right now. The forums are dead and there's nothing to watch on TV.

Same here...though I'm playing DJ with my metal stuff for my rap friends. :D

[IheartSP]

Metal is one of those things that royally pisses off anyone who doesn't normally listen to it.

[Shadows]

I'm writing a review right now. You guys have to back me up. I'm going to rape this Trivium album for what it's worth.

[IheartSP]

I think your being too subjective with Trivium. I don't listen to it normally but I think it's decent for metalcore. The riffs aren't that bad, they have some kick to them. The solos are pretty good too. Besides the vocals there's nothing wrong with it.

[Shadows]

The solos are decent, but other than that I can't stand these guys in any aspect.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Metal is one of those things that royally pisses off anyone who doesn't normally listen to it.

Yes...it's quite fun. :D

[IheartSP]

I piss my friends off with my metal too, but I try not to get them too mad cuase I wouldn't wanna listen to their alternative.

[Shadows]

I've been playing metal for my religion class at school. They all hate it, but I like it because they have to sit there and deal with it.

[IheartSP]

Go with some Mayhem :p

[Shadows]

Hahahaha...I was planning on playing Vital Remains - Dechristianize sometime. Stickin' it to the religious school system.

[IheartSP]

Are you forced to go there?

[Shadows]

Half and half I guess. My entire family went to this school, so it was kind of expected that I would. Although I'm not religious, I would rather go there than any other school around. I've got plenty of friends, and I can feel safe in this school, which is more than I can say for nearby public schools.

[MRDuCran]

I was in music class the other day at college and we had to bring in a cd so the class could analyse it. Pretty much everyone listens to light stuff like Hendrix or Jazz or emo, they were in for a shock when my friend put on Necrophagist then Bodom Beach Terror :lol:

[IheartSP]

I don't live in the city so public school isn't somewhere you'd get stabbed.

[IheartSP]

In music class the other day at my school we got to bring in a song with a mode. I went with Last December by Iced Earth, it's in E Phrygian.

[MRDuCran]

But then again, isn't every song in a mode??

Ah right, makes sense.

Thats what I had to do anyway, the image i'm using now was 80x80.

[MRDuCran]

I just downloaded 2 Singery songs, The Bitch is Back and Spit on your Grave. Pretty fukkin' good I say.

[Shadows]

I always found Sinergy to be a bit disappointing. It's sounds like they tried to be more traditional power metal with female vocals. I dislike Kim's voice, and the guitar playing sounds like they're holding back.

[IheartSP]

I think Spit on Your Grave is an amazing song, but it's the only amazing one I've heard by them.

I need to renew my WoW subcription, which I probably would be better off without.

Haha, yeah. Trust me though, the lyrics are completely overpowered by pure metal.

[Shadows]

I could deal with that then. I could always use something uplifting to contrast my selection of anti-religious black/death metal. Shadows Fall can't be the only non-evil band I own.

[loathed]

can someone tell me what is the best melodic song that CoB has come up with?

[IheartSP]

Hmm...I think Downfall might be the most melodic CoB song, or Kissing the Shadows.

[Shadows]

I would say it's near impossible to say which CoB song is most melodic. Downfall I think is the most emotional though.

[Shazzam]

Anyone else here love Kalmah? Alot of their stuff sounds almost identical to CoB.

[blue3]

I haven't heard a lot of Kalmah songs, but they're good from what I've heard.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Follow The Reaper is their best album by far, it owns so much. My favortie songs are Follow The Reaper, Bodom After Midnight and Children Of Decadence.

[wingding]

i gess everyone hear has heard the almighty hate me has anyone ever reaslized/noticed that there is 2 diferent versions of that song 1 on the hate me! ep and 2nd one on the folow the reaper album? they are the same song but played sligtly diferent. sligtly diferent solos and u can just tell there diferent recordings

Punctuation, Capitalisation and Proper Spelling.

Now what exactly is your question? You mentioned the two different versions of Hate Me! I think I know what your talking about, although I don't on the ep.

[leomondaine]

I could deal with that then. I could always use something uplifting to contrast my selection of anti-religious black/death metal. Shadows Fall can't be the only non-evil band I own.

Speaking of shadows fall, Alexi totally ripped off some of their riffs on the new album. I know most of you dont have COBs new album but when you do listen to We're Not Gonna Fall, Alexi totally stole the intro riff from Shadows Fall's "What Drives The Weak" and sped it up a bit. Both song's intros sound almost exactly the same. lol who cares though? just interesting to me

[IheartSP]

I noticed that too but didn't recognize where it was from. You are so right though, it sounds almost exactly like it. Bodom is known for ripping people off.

[IheartSP]

The outro keyboard solo in the same song has a ripoff of the outro solo in Black Widow.

[Shattered_Future]

[Thor]

This is true, which is why the band should play in tons of different keys!

[IheartSP]

Yeah one major problem with this album is that they try so hard to use Drop C that everything turns out the same.

[Thor]

^^^
Yeah I agree with that, they should play in E anyways, it sounds so much cooler.

[IheartSP]

When I write music it's either in D or E, usually D. But my keys can be Dm, Gm, Em, or Am, I've written in all 4. Sometimes even Cm.

You could listen to Frozen Sky by Norther and just pretend Bodom wrote it.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I think they're past that stage, unfortunately. I could've seen them doing an intrumental around Something Wild or even Hatebreeder eras. Not now, though.

[wingding]

yes there are two versions of hate me. a single and an album version.

ive got the album version and the hate me ep version and the ep version is so much beter but why wood they re record the whole song just 4 the sake of it

...there's another version? :lol:

[Shattered_Future]

COB should be an instrumental band...Alexi's vocals don't really add anything to the music.

I got 3 friends who have the almost exact same music taste as me, and then a few who could care less about music at all...and a few who like classic rock and stuff.

Another likes what's in the top 40 at the moment, and one who listens to funk/jazz/some classic stuff as well...his dad and my dad play together.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Well, I like Alexi's vocals a lot. I think I might be the only one though.

not a chance the album verision is 10 times better. they did a new version for the album just because they thought the single version sucked :D

[ArcLite]

by the way does anyone no wats going on with wildchild leaving cob

Crack kills, son.

[dest. Chaos]

Well, I like Alexi's vocals a lot. I think I might be the only one though.
I love Alexi's vocals. And instrumental music is boring in the end. The vocals in bodom makes the music a lot heavier. And think the new style without vocals. That would really suck.

[Thor]

by the way does anyone no wats going on with wildchild leaving cob
He isn't, where on earth did you hear that from?

[IheartSP]

I think the vocals in the new style suck, they are pretty metalcorish. Without them I agree it'd be more boring.

[dest. Chaos]

by the way does anyone no wats going on with wildchild leaving cob
Alexi IS CoB.

[IheartSP]

Alexi wouldnt leave CoB, he's the whole band, plus it's tatooed on him so he'd feel like an idiot.

[AA-12]

And instrumental music is boring in the end.
Not really. Instrumental music can be much more interesting than music with vocals.

[Shattered_Future]

It all depends on the songwriting abilities of the composers...

Kissing The Shadows would be a pretty good instrumental, just because the instrument work makes up for the poor vocals.

Whereas, say, In Your Face would be a horrid instrumental, because the song lacks the instrumental edge.

Actaully, no.

[AA-12]

It all depends on the songwriting abilities of the composers...

Kissing The Shadows would be a pretty good instrumental, just because the instrument work makes up for the poor vocals.

Whereas, say, In Your Face would be a horrid instrumental, because the song lacks the instrumental edge.
Most modern bands are not that good at instrumentals. A few stand out though, such as Lamb of God, Dream Theater, and Martyr. It's all about Classical and Jazz.

I think the vocals in KTS are the best of all bodom songs actually.

Your probably mixing Alexi and Alexander Kuoppala.. Alexander left CoB a long time ago.

[wingding]

look on www.childrenofbodom.com/mainpage.html it says "ALEXANDER HAS LEFT CoB!"

[wingding]

wat didi alexander play?

[GenuineImitation]

look on www.childrenofbodom.com/mainpage.html it says "ALEXANDER HAS LEFT CoB!"



Key word is highlighted. Alexander is not the same person as Alexi.

Alexander played guitar.

[IheartSP]

Alexander wsa the rythym guitarist, he left in 2003...

[wingding]

ahhh i see silly me

[wingding]

do cob ever do uk tours?

[dest. Chaos]

www.childrenofbodom.com is NOT the official site btw. if anyone didn't know. and I think it hasn't been updated for a while.

[Shadows]

Alexi is not leaving. It's quite simple. He IS the band, and without CoB his life is meaningless.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

look on www.childrenofbodom.com/mainpage.html it says "ALEXANDER HAS LEFT CoB!"


O NOES!

[Shazzam]

do cob ever do uk tours?


Well, they are a European band, so i'm sure they do.

[MRDuCran]

They're coming to the UK in Jan 2006 apparantly.

[Thor]

I couldn't have said that any better.

Anyone going to see CoB in the next few months?

[IheartSP]

I don't have tickets yet, but I should be going in December.

[Shadows]

I've got the tickets. I'm going next month.

[IheartSP]

I have no money unfortunately.

[wingding]

where are they playing next month?

[Shadows]

They'll be all over the northern US and Canada. I'm going to see them in Detroit.

[wingding]

i want a uk tour like i wanted with dragonforce licky dragon force are a london based band. saw em on the 29 at london barfly anyone like em?

[Shadows]

Dragonforce? I like them a lot. They have really catchy, uplifting music with some insane guitar playing. I bought Sonic Firestorm a while back but haven't listened to it much. I should pull it out again.

If you read what I said, you'd know that they're in the UK in Jan 2006.

Insane is an understatement...

Their powertabs are really depressing to me, as a guitarist. :(

[Shadows]

I know what you mean. :( I listen to that and feel like "Jesus, why do I even bother trying when there are guys who can pull this off mindlessly?"

[IheartSP]

I hate Dragonforce. Talk about repetition. Every song sounds EXACTLY THE SAME. It's always the same super fast intro with leads, super fast verse, extremely cheesy chorus, 12 minute solo duel, and the outro is the intro again. Every song sounds just like the next, I can't distinguish them.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]Searched Google images for Alexi Laiho, show only medium sized images, cause the avatars have to be 70x70 pixels, which sucks.



Ty ima look for a diff. one cuz im sure u wouldnt want me to have the same pic as u ;)

Can you send me Sonic Firestorm by any chance?

[Shadows]

Sure. You wanted Tokyo Warhearts too, right?

Yeah, I find them a bit repeatative and annoying too.

Yeah don't be stealing me pic :cool:

[Thor]

Yeah, that's right. AIM or email works for me.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

lol what do u think of this one?

[Thor]

lol what do u think of this one?
Alexi with booze, pretty nice.

[Shadows]

lol what do u think of this one?
Hey, I know that guy! It's Alexi Laiho, lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter of a band called Children of Bodom!

I like it. :cool:

[MRDuCran]

Is that Alexi, he's got black hair, looks more like Jordison.

[Shadows]

If it were Jordison, he'd have a white face with black paint.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Yeah its Alexi he does kinda favor Joey but its most deff. Alexi :)

[MRDuCran]

If it were Jordison, he'd have a white face with black paint.

Yeah but Jordison looks like that with his mask off. I can see it's Alexi if I zoom in.

[Shadows]

That's true, but I've never seen Jorison without the mask.

[Thor]

http://555slipknot666.skyblog.com/pics/732364_small.jpg

There you go. He looks pretty much the same with or without the mask. :lol:

[MRDuCran]

That's true, but I've never seen Jorison without the mask.

[Shadows]

You're right, he does.

Strange, I never pictured him looking like that.

[Thor]

Looking at Corey Taylor was even more of a shock for me.

With the mask:

Without the mask:
http://www.studentlifestyleguide.co.uk/images/jpgs/coreytaylor.jpg

It's a real shocker.

[Shadows]

I've known what Corey Taylor looks like. His picture is all over the inside of the Stone Sour album.

[Thor]

Oh, that's right. I've never really listened to Stone Sour before, so that's probably why it was a shocker for me.

Is Stone Sour any good?

[flamesofbodom]

Yeah, its like a mellow Slipknot

[Shadows]

I like them. They're a more mellow heavy metal band compared the the other things the Slipknot guys have done. The vocals and solos are great.

[MRDuCran]

Yeah I really love the vocals on that SS album too.

[flamesofbodom]

Are they coming out with any new material?

[Thor]

Yeah, its like a mellow Slipknot
So does it kind of sound like Slipknot's latest album? Some of the tracks on that seemed pretty mellow.

[Shadows]

Stone Sour is more along the lines of Before I Forget.

[flamesofbodom]

http://www.stonesour.com/home.html

They're starting something soon

So does it kind of sound like Slipknot's latest album? Some of the tracks on that seemed pretty mellow.I guess you can put it that way. Corey doesnt really scream in that band though. I find some songs, like Monolith, more melodic than Slipknot material

[Thor]

Well, I might give it a try eventually, but I'm more in a black metal and power metal phase right now.

[Shadows]

Finally! I've been waiting for new Stone Sour for a while. I think their only downfall is that they don't solo nearly enough.

[IheartSP]

I hate Slipknot and Stone Sour, I could never get into the nu-metal thing.

[Shadows]

Vol.3 is the only Slipknot album I like. Stone Sour isn't nu metal though. They're more along the lines of traditional heavy metal, maybe even rock. Aside from that, I could never stand the genre either.

[flamesofbodom]

Stone Sour are not nu-metal. They sound more rock to me

[Thor]

Stone Sour are not nu-metal. They sound more rock to me
They're hard rock, period.

[IheartSP]

I haven't heard enough Stone Sour to remember what it was, I just remember immensly hating it.

[Shadows]

Understandable. They're much more media friendly than other metal/Slipknot. They're kind of a guilty pleasure for me.

[IheartSP]

There was somethng about the vocals that bothered me. Some things I don't know why I hate but they just bother me.

[flamesofbodom]

bother :p

Everyone should be watching fox right now :thumb:

[Shadows]

I get that feeling all the time. Mostly with modern pop punk/emo/rock bands and their vocals. I don't know why, but I just can't stand it in the least.

[Thor]

:p

Everyone should be watching fox right now :thumb:
Why? What's on?

[IheartSP]

Family Guy is a repeat tonight unfortunately.

[Shadows]

:p

Everyone should be watching fox right now :thumb:
:eek: teh War at Home!!!

[Shattered_Future]

I saw that show once, and I was like...meh. It's boring.

Now ELIMIDATE, there's a quality show. :p

Well, it's quality at 1:30 in the morning...

EDIT: By the way, Ben, did you get the drumtracks done yet?

[Shadows]

No, I'm sorry, I had some other things to do. :( I don't mean to just throw your stuff aside, but we were doing things for my dad's birthday today, and I had to do some stuff for school too.

I'm really sorry man, I promise I'll have it done soon. :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Okay, so 2 nights ago I saw Bodom on the first date of their Are You Dead Yet? World Tour! They rules.

The setlist was as so (this isn't in order, since I'm going by memory here):
Hate Me
Silent Night, Bodom Night
Bodom After Midnight
Angels Don't Kill
Needled 24/7
Bodom Beach Terror
Are You Dead Yet?
In Your Face
Sixpounder
Follow The Reaper
something off Something Wild (I think it was Deadnight Warrior or In The Shadows, not sure though. I know it wasn't Lake Bodom though, since I am familiar with that track)
Downfall

There also may have been Hate Crew Deathroll and another track, but I can't remember.

All in all, an awesome night. Especially since I was on the upstairs level, leaning over the railing with no one in front of me, although when Alexi went over next to the keyboards in a couple of solos, I couldn't see him due to some darn speakers. The only disappoinment was they didn't play Bed of Razors! I though that was a certainty :(

[I'm Charming]

I'm seeing them in portland, in November. I hope they play Bed Of Razors. Outside of Downfall that list looks really good. It would be great if they played Mask Of Sanity.
