I'm talking about death metal, metal core, prog metal, these sorts of genres. And Alexis Lehau was in the pantheon of metal gods for me at the time. I remember vividly waking up at like seven in the morning so that I can drive to a city 100 miles away and get in line to see Children of Bodom headline a show. This is my first time ever seeing them. I think I played hooky from school
I just wanted to add that. Alexi, Alexi, Alexi, Alexi, Alexi. Alexi Laiho, Children of Bodom frontman, the melodic death metal genre. Certainly one of the more famous fans. They were formed in 1992. There is screaming. So if you're going to listen to this, just keep that in mind. But I wanted to share a few of my favorite songs. This happens to be one of them. Enjoy

Yeah. I was definitely sad to hear about that today. I wasn't, like, the biggest children of Bodom fan personally, but I did see them, and they were so good live. He was just an amazing guitar. I'm definitely one of those people that recognize and respect musical talent, whether it's my style of music or not
