Definitely agreed. But that's also very confusing...Alexi's an awesome guitarist with a great appreciation of music, I couldn't see him being happy with that song, especially the solo.

One of his favorite genres is punk

But that doesn't make any sense either. He has his punk side project Kylahullut to get all the punk out of his sytem, so he shouldn't have to bring it into CoB.

i dont get why he likes punk anyway

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]i dont get why he likes punk anyway[/QUOTE]
What's wrong with liking punk? :confused: I myself love a lot of punk.

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]i dont get why he likes punk anyway[/QUOTE]
I never understood why all these metal guys loved to tell about how they love punk and punk is such a huge influence on their music. I hate punk. If I ever wrote punk-influenced music, I'd be too ashamed to tell anyone it was punk-influenced.

Maybe he likes punk because it is a great genre?

FYI:

Thrash was influenced by punk :) .

Thrash owes everything to punk.

[QUOTE=TSASI]Thrash owes everything to punk.[/QUOTE]

not exactly, speed metal and the nwobhm were also a big influence on thrash.

That would explain why thrash is my least favorite genre of metal.

There's nothing wrong with punk...

Alot of thrash bands where influenced by Minor Threat and Black Flag..alot of those bands in that era..punk is really good..does anyone know when Children of Bodom will be coming to Canada...like western canada..or if they have even been here

They will probably hit Canada in November as part of the North American section of their world tour.

I heard that he decribed the style of music CoB played as punk rock from hell.

Ha, yeah you'd think so. Maybe he's just experimementing with some of the stuff on this album by trying to mix punk with some of CoB's old style...although there isn't much of that in the song.

I've heard Alexi refer to as CoB as black metal (it was way back in the day). I still don't think they have any punk in them.

I like some punk but....

This song is kickass :lol: I love it!

You can see hardcore punk influences on most of HCDR and on IYF (thus why I call it metalcore, hardcore punk + metal). Also the opening riff on The Nail is pretty punk. The lyrics on HCDR and judging from the songtitles of Are You Dead Yet? Are extremely punk influenced.

I really don't listen to a lot of punk anymore, but I still don't mind it. Does anyone have anything by Kylahullut?

You're right IheartSP...I didn't even notice that about the nail. The intro does sound very punk.

I haven't heard Kylahullut and I'm not interested in a Finnish version of the Dropkick Murphies anyway, at least that's how I see it, drunken punk.

Drunken punk? That's what you've heard it sounds like? I'm still interested in hearing it then :p That side project seems like something where Alexi can just goof off, CoB usually does serious music and he probably doesn't get a chance to vent.

Kylahullut means something abut drinking.

I haven't heard anything from Kylahullut, who has and what do you think of em?

btw... Britney Spears just covered that song too. the original is done by some 80's guy. At least that's what I have heard from some of my goth friends which are very reliable. btw one of the guys who said that are at Gates of Metal right now ... Bodom starts in 5 minutes

We talked about that when the cover was first mentioned. It was originally done by some legendary musician - I can't remember who exactly. Britney covered it and managed to make it sound like trashy pop for slutty teenage girls.

ok :thumb: and I thought it was pretty cool but I have never liked that song so I won't really like this neither. it's just a funny thing to me... :wave:

I don't actually like the sound of the song (like I'm sure most of us don't), but instead I liked it because it was a funny thing for Bodom to do.

I've always thought it would be weird to do a brutal death metal cover of Piano Man. Same idea, but CoB did it first.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]There's nothing wrong with punk...[/QUOTE]
it's just very unmusical.....muaha powerchord owns!!! through the whole song ! yes! and only 8th notes in the solo that's fast enough...

The only guy quoted in the liners as a songwriter is Max Martin, who's been Britney's producer since she first appeared, so I doubt that. Either that or Max Martin did it originally, in which case, I never knew he had a career in front of the boards too.

[SIZE=1]Yes I have the album[/SIZE]

Anyway, I came in hear to ask - did they cover She is Beautiful by Andrew WK too? My friend just sent me it, I'm just checking it's not a mislabelled mp3.
