“The Randy Rhoads of his generation.” True words, and praise beyond doubt. Well deserved recognision. RIP Alexi xxx

I have a lot of respect for Daniel, he seemed to admire Alexi so much and with reasons.

Rest in peace Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho...legendary guitarist..gone but never forgotten.

To know you're dying at 41 is crazy. I was a huge fan of his playing. He was a big drinker like all Finns and died of liver disease, but was it established that it was the booze that killed him?

@@paulbooth77 The autopsy was released awhile after Alexis died and it said that Alexi's cause of death was "alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue”. He also had a mixture of painkillers, opioids and insomnia medication in his stomach. Just goes to show that he was in a terrible state towards the end. His last music videos shows that too...

Got me crying again. This has been devastating and I've never met him so I can't imagine how his friends and family have been feeling.

RIP Alexi, your a true legend!🤟

From fans view it already hurts so much missing alexi but for Dan and crew it must be excruciating knowing that he knew alexi personally everyday , hang in there dan and co members and looking forward to your new music - I'm shellshocked to know video was recorded 9 days before his passing - 😢 ...

This is great. Period.

Daniel can carry the torch that Alexi lit. Freyberg is an amazing guitarist and I think he'll get better just like Alexi always did.

So much respect to them to say that B.A.M. Will be buried with alexi. There’s not a player alive to hold the flame to alexi so to bury the band with him seems fitting. I’m sad there’s no more C.O.B. but I’m glad we still have his music.

I feel very happy actually that Alexi went with a bang, one last "fuck you" so to speak. He was playing better than ever so his candle truly burned bright all the way till the end. Lepää rauhassa Allu, myö rakastetaan sua. Fuck I'm gonna cry

Gone way too soon !! 😭

Death is a normal part of life but you should not let it consume you. Anyone could die at any moment but there is nothing you can do about it and life goes on. So be close to the people you love because it shows how fragile life and friendships can be.

I remember the first time I listened to children of bodom. It was my 7th grade year and are you dead yet just came out and my friend owned the album and he let me burn a copy of the album. Id say I had it on repeat everyday for like 6 months trying to learn all of the riffs on my ibanez geo 🤣. Riff in paradise Alexi you won't be forgotten!!!!

Honestly, always when I see videos or something named like this I start cry :(

Hey Loudwire. Could you please contact Roope Latvala and find out what he has to say now? I wonder, there is this new interview with Alexander, Instagram live with Janne, Henkka and Jaska, Daniel is everywhere, but we don't even know if Roope is still alive (O.o)

Let's see all the projects of all the bodom family members! And support them.

Really hope the best for Daniel and his fellas, really great musicians

RIP Alexi my world has a huge void without you in it. You will always be missed and I will forever hold what you taught me in my heart. Goodbye brother til Valhalla

Whoa, I didn’t even know the guy died. I was never a Bodom fan but this was unexpected.

Saying goodbuy until we die too, is too much...one of the worst and the most saddest thing in decades... Take the angels care of your eternal sleep...see you in the Heaven, at least I hope, my beautiful schredding angel!! Anyway, Daniel is a very great guy! During recording of Hexed, Alexi was pissed off cos he made a mistake of the singing part!! Alexi said: Fuck, fuck, cant believe it!! Daniel told him: Calm down, Alexi calm down, it's not a problem, it's okay!! Everyone makes mistakes! Alexi said angrily: No, its not okay!! First it shows; how much Daniels take care about Alexi's soul and himself!! Second it shows Alexi's attitude; how much he wanted everything to be perfect!! I think he was a perfectionist!! So no wonder at all that all of the stress which was all upon him, drove him into alcoholism!! He was a special talent, but he could do almost everything for the band: composing the songs all the time, writing the lyrics, after taking over the process from the thought to the fulfillment, then playing the hardest parts and solos and carry on with singing part too, meanwhile or after that endless concerts and gigs on and on!!! And yeah, he chose this lifestyle, but no one ever took his burdens off and it's too much!! It was too much for him!! But now the beast can finally rest!! Sadily we will be here for a while without him!! Someday i promise, i'll go to your grave to Finnland to say a last goodbye!!!

I see Alexi Laiho every day !!!

Imagine disliking this video.

The style of Bodom was kind of picking up the best elements of each sub genre of metal. Roughly speaking.

I might be the only one but i didnt like the interviewer. As someone who alexi was my idol growing up and still is today. there was muched looked over with his family, how the bodom family are. previous recordings etc. i really feel for them, they are my family too. some of the questions asked were just.... i guess too soon, "whats the future of bodom" cmon man, really ? bodom just died with alexi. pay your respects. no ones ready to move on yet. i love you all. sleep well, drink well, live well

:(

和訳求む！

April 23rd? That's the day before my birthday.

He was way better than Randy Rhodes.....not to disrespect RR. Alexi was so unique in his playing/songwriting.

Graham, you really need to get your act together.

Isn't this the guy who presented Alexi with a ton of alcohol during an interview while he was sober for a while?
