Bodom After Midnight - "Hate Me!" @ Tavastia 25.10.2020 

From now on this will be known as Alexi's last show... You'll be missed Wildchild...

R.I.P Alexi Laiho

I got to meet Alexi at a guitar store for an ESP night a few years ago. He's such a genuine dude and I love it! First thing he did after the meet and greet and photos, grabs himself a slice of pizza and a beer, turns around to me and my mate and asks, "So have you guys seen The Big Lebowski?". And then we just chilled out eating pizza and talking shit for like an hour. I love this little legend of shred!!!

It makes me even more frustrated when I see Alexi showing one of his best shape in years, you can hear all the notes clearly and a new energy, the guy was definitely happy on stage and then he is suddenly dead. A true guitar hero we will miss you Alexi!!! RIP

the 4:08 harmony lead still is one of my favorite cob moments, it just feels soo right... RIP Alexi, you'll never be forgotten!

Can’t believe this was just 10 weeks before his death. He looked completely fine... unbelievable. Rip legend

Rest in peace childhood hero, you'll never be forgotten

my youth is dead with him , we ll never forget

I never got to see him live, but I will continue listening to his music. RIP Alexi Laiho.

alexi is one of the greatest things that happened in death metal, symphonic metal.., he was amazing

If I try to find ANY positives in the utterly sad situation, is that in his last show he was back in form, really killing it.

I am just reading these comments and it breaks my heart how fast everything falls apart. 2 months ago, 1 month ago, 2 weeks ago, 1 week ago and today we are all hurt and grieving. What a great soul this person was. You don't have to know him personally to see and hear that. Rest in power wildchild. You are an inspiration to a whole generation of musicians and fans.

RIP Alexi Laiho 1979-2020 i miss you :(

He was my idol of my youth. And who led me to heavy metal music. His music was a part of my life. I still can't believe now. Rest in peace

Can't lie, watching this makes my eyes sweat

I remember seeing this a few months ago, as well as the other few shows they did in Finland around that time. I was so excited to hear how great Alexi sounded as well as the band. He seemed sober, healthier, and was playing better than I had heard in 15 years. It was as though he had spent this last year practicing with a metronome, going over all the tough parts and getting them super tight again. I was so excited and happy to see the video from these few shows. And then to hear of him dying... I mean maybe he really had something terrible going on, we may never know. But it seemed like after finally getting his playing back super tight, and he looked healthier at least.... I am just constantly asking myself what the hell happened in two months? Maybe we will never know, it’s up to his family obviously. I was just so shocked and so sad.

I’m still processing this. Everytime I saw his passing headlines, I still stink “no, not Alexi”

As I understand, this is Wildchild's last time ever on stage. How good he was playing, once again, leaving it to a high note where he always belong. RIP Allu.

RIFP This is absolutely devastating. The world of metal just lost another true giant.

You never know what a person may be going through and why they do the things they do. This is just 2 months before he left us. RIP Alexi.

Alexi looks better and healthier than ever ! So happy for him, and this purple esp looks sick btw

This video gave me chills. Alexi looks so badass and its like we're looking at a titan of metal. And it breaks my heart he passed away :(

this guy was a lead singer and lead guitarist unbelivable work this guy did ....so talented dam good music here

С ним и ушла и моя юность... :'-(

I'm totally broken... Miss him so much 🖤💔

Almost a year has passed and its still a tough pill to swallow. Alexi was my favorite guitarist for over 20 years. I never had the privilege of seeing Bodom live and I will always regret that. This show, his final performance was my birthday but not sure how to feel about that either, but I will most definitely always throw one up for Alexi on each and every birthday going forward and celebrate the phenomenal career he had and as well as his legacy. Thanks for the kickass soundtrack throughout the last 20+ years & for all the great times. Your playing will continue to inspire for a very long time

This brings a tear to my eye just watching it. I first seen all the performances of this show when they debuted, and was in awe on how tight they all sounded, and how fiercely his attack on his leads were. By far the best any of the old material has sounded in over 15 years. But now that I look at him playing, you can see how winded he looks half way through, and you can see that he’s probably in some form of physical pain. Gahhh this is too much for me to handle right now. I owe the majority of my guitar abilities to him, and the fact that I ever pushed myself as a musician.....I’m lost...fuck...

it's been so long since this great incredible guitarist and singer left us, he left too soon he still had a lot of work ahead of him my friend, I admire you it was your band that opened up a range of incredible solos that I've known since then, I won't leave your Legacy stopped as well as other friends who make great tributes to you and your band to honor these great musicians who dispersed with your departure. :(

Очень крутой был гитарист и вокалист! RIP!

Alexi, you weren't only a virtuoso guitarist but also an excellent songwriter and lyricist. LOVE FROM GERMANY !! RIP, my hero

I've only just found out Alexi passed.. totally gutted. I saw Bodom in Brisbane, Australia in the late 00's and had such a great night. I'd been obsessed with the Stockholm Knockout live DVD for months leading up to the show and they were even better in person. I could have died happy when he dropped the massive whammy leading into Needled 24/7. Spent several years after that obsessed with his ESP model. Greatest metal showman of all time.

He will be immortalized through his music forever! Rest in Peace King!

Thank you Wildchild, for all that great years full of metal riffs and fantastic shows. You are my inspiration to start playing guitare. Thanks Alexi

Legendary!! Children of Bodom will forever be a part of me. R.I.P Alexi. Love from Papua New Guinea

R.I.P. WildChild Alexi Laihoa!!! Thanks for all the music you gifted us with man!!

Got the pleasure to see C.O.B one time and it was an amazing concert, Alexi and the keyboard player were doing a little riff challenge with each other and it absolutely blew me away. RIP ALEXI

Hell yeah man, they haven't sounded this good for may be like last 10 yrs or so man imo. Top drummer man, I love how he's constantly keeping the studio record tempo all throughout. And also love his chops here n there but keeping original Jaska feel intact. M not disrespecting Jaska but he has this tendency of playing faster than the record 😁. But this is bang on. Eagerly waiting for their debut album.

Devastated.... another childhood metal hero that pass away... RIP Alexi 😔

R.I.P Alexi, i am heart broken and a legend, be missed😢❤️🤟🇳🇴 Condolences to family and the band members❤️❤️

Alexi always had the best shred stance ive ever seen. Always so wide and controlled. I remember when i first heard as i was leaving rehab myself. Our choices in life are ours to make but some can shorten this life by decades if we arent careful. Rip.

Killer performance!! To young to be gone, RIP!

I listen diff music,but I always love COB , great melodies ... well Alexi was talented... really talented, that was his passion and everything ...

R.i.p childhood guitar hero..the only guitarist can sing along with guitar solo..one in a million

R.I.P legend

Legends never die.

Rest in peace bro! We'll never forget you ❤️🤘

Heading banging with tears in my eyes...Gonna miss the fuck out of him. Rest in power, Wildchild 🤘

What an epic last performance!

It's unbelievably hard to watch this. He seemed to be doing good, looking healthier than he had in years, good playing, things seemed to be looking up. And then, the tragedy. RIP Wildchild, you will be sorely missed.

R.I.P Alexi

RIP Alexi, thank you for countless musical memories

Спасибо за счастливое детство Алекси. Помним. Скорбим. До сих пор играю твои риффы:(

he sounds very good here both playing and singing R.I.P

We all suspected he wasn’t well and the news today confirmed it. RIP Alexi. Rest easy brother.

This kills my Heart, he looks healthy here, thanks for the inspiration wildchild, You will Be missed💕

My fav CoB song listened first time when I was 11... it will never tired me ❤️

He looked great, gained some weight and looked healthy. R.I.P

R.I.P. Alexi Laiho you will be the hero for our guitarplayer now and forever

It is so sad... Why him? Why now? He was not old. He was the fastest guitar player on the Earth, I think. Now I listen to a different genre, but about 15 years ago I was possessed by COB and Alexi. So today I am listening to COB again and crying because earlier it was my life! I am so glad that I had seen them on the stage because now it would not be possible. It is just extremely sad. Poor Alexi :(

This hurts my heart! Forever Wildchild, forever a legend - we will never forget you Alexi. We were lucky to have you. Such an on-point performance.

My first metal song was from children of bodom, i was 13 years old and the song was Wrath Within. For many years it was my favorite band, and now i have to say goodbye? This is one of the worst days of my life.

Sounded better than children of bodom!! Welcome back Alexi!!

RIP Legend. Just look at 4:06 not the most technical thing ever but just so genius / beautiful to keep adding stuff like that during live shows. He will be missed

New Bodom..I like it💞 i dont care Alexi in COB or Other Band ,,i still love Alexi wherever he played

Rest in Peace Alexi! May the your unique guitar sound fill the other world.

RIP and thanks for my childhood

RIP! A sad time for us fans! Was so looking forward to new material and albums from Alexi and the new band!

Rest in Peace, Alexi!!! We will always remember you!!!

Such a good dude!!! RIP Alexi!! METALDOM will miss you greatly!!

I just love how this is one of the best live performances of this song it actually looks like he used his guitar strap higher like in the old Jackson's (RR-24) days. That's probably why it sounds better it was easier for him to play the songs tha way.💜

Alexis playing is really solid here. Wasn't always the case in the last fee years. Glad to see this. :)

love you, Alexi! your music will never die!

Sound and playing here is very tight. One of my fav cob songs

Damn, his playing is much better again. Makes me think Children of Bodom breaking up and starting anew with new members was a good thing after all. Perhaps Alexi got some of that energy and motivation back, and he's got band mates who aren't fed up with playing music either.

В России тоже помнят и уважают Алекси.

R.I.P. Alexi Laiho...´:( excelente Show end Guitar...

They really sound just as good as they always have. Perfection

This sounds so goooood😭 Rest In Power Alexi🙏🏻

RIP ALEXI ! THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU LEGEND 🙌 🙌

Get me back 12 years ago when bodom were in my playsilt everyday... fuck!

I am angry and sad that such a wonderful powerhouse of music has been taken away from us. He was one of my favorite musicians and his music helped me get through tough times. Wonder what the fuck happened in three months!! @everyone, please take care of your health. Stay safe !!! RIP Wildchild!! :(

What a beast. Unparalleled! RIP Alexi Laiho. Let the heavens be shredded \m/

He looked so well here... Can’t believe he died just 2 months after this concert. RIP, Alexi! Your legacy will never die...

Thanks whoever recorded this show, it's gold

Rest in power, Alexi the shred beast.

Crazy. Definitely doesn't look like he's near death. Insane how life works out. R.i.p. always will be one of my favorite songs by them, I still remember hearing it for the first time.

Can't believe he is gone :'(

Damn Alexi Laiho you are already so missed 🖤🤟

Rip Alexi Laiho✝️ but i have to say that, that guitar looks absolutely stunning🔥

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GUITAR INFLUENCES IS NOT HERE ANYMORE AND MISSED TO ME AND IM TWO YEARS OLDER FROM ALEXI.

What an absolute legend 🤘🖤

4:06 Nice little fill here.

Fawk yessss!!!! Welcome back fella's!!! Looking forward to the new and the old! \m/

Every time i see him ,Every time I die .

Good job!!! You boys are doing great, and Alexi is cleaner than ever!!!
