I remember everyone, including me, commenting because we knew something was wrong. We could all see it, but never thought he would be taken from us so quickly. Even though we knew, it still felt like a mule kick to the stomach when I heard the news, and I miss him differently than any other musician that's passed on. Except Cliff...I felt this way when Cliff died. It was like losing a good friend or something. Crazy, huh? I never knew or even met the man, but his death seriously affected me.
@@jcass1970 Me too. Alexi was my idol in my teens. And I'll never stop listening to his masterpieces. I cried when I found about his passing. It was like a part of myself had died with him. And i've never felt so emotionally attached to a musician that I've never seen or talked to in person. All I want is to see him in an afterlife if there is one and give him a hug. 😭
Yes it is sad. That's what alcoholism eventuates into, something you hide insidiously over years and nobody else really suspects a big deal until it's too late.
My beautiful angel inside and out....still so sad and heartcrushing😑😢♥♥but the good news is for me that after one and half year i've srarted to getting better and finally just don't tear me apart every single video which i see about him...now i rather smile that he ever had us and made this world a more barable place with his music and his presence...thank you for uploading this video❤💣...every single detail of his life and interview about him is a present to me.....
Mans music is amazing! Still jamming it like it was just released. He left us with a great catalog of music. Enjoyed seeing him playing live in San Antonio TX.
I have the opportunity to talk with him couple of times in Atlanta ga, USA, he was a gentleman! A gentleman metal head !!! The king of the heavy metal guitar player! I just remember how good was when I meet him and how hard we drink in a place called masquerade in Atlanta , hope god has a place for him
That red binding and inlays look so good. Dude had great taste. At least he was taken care of by ESP during his career. I know I would die a happy man. RIP
Got a couple of grins out of this-not at Alexi’s expense, but b/c he was just being himself in the moment, which is how he always seemed to be. Sad it seems he didn’t have much spirit left in him at that time. Sucks he’s gone…RIP Brother…
I know it's stupid, but I can't help it... I've seen him on footage during cold finnish winter days that often, he looks horribly misplaced in this clip. Like a polarbear on concrete in the zoo or something. 😛 I've been following him for 25 years, met him twice and seen him in concert many times. I still listen to Bodom and Sinergy regulary. It's a true loss he passed so young, there was so much yet to come... RIP
I would've invited this guy to watch the sunset on a tropical beach and smoke weed with me🍃I would share the love I have for him, like brother and sister❤
Jesus those arms are so thin. He was literally dying from inside. Arm muscles are really important to shredders like Alexi, however he managed to be perfect in his worst health condition. He was the reason I picked up guitar, it was 8 years ago. R.I.P
