15th anniversary of the band? No, That was in 2008.
It is the 15th anniversary of Something Wild in 2012 though. Which would be a nice time to play Something Wild in full, but ofcourse they won't do that.
But it's yet again an American tour anyway, so I don't care.

 

[EndlessWhore]

That's an excellent idea Kilon. I am stoked because they are finally coming back to my home town of San Diego California. I need to start flooding their Facebook stuff and inbox with requests for "The complete Something Wild Album" in C# too of course. That would be awesome.

 

[Mystique1721]

I'll be on a 5 day cruise with Bodom starting January 23rd....that experience is gonna be better than any of these shows, guaranteed.

hahaha, we should yell:

"Have you ever heard of an album called Something Wild?!!!"

 

[foodforthegods]

I hope they'll change their setlist a bit for the occasion. Somthing like this

Children Of Decadence
Not My Funeral
Mask Of Sanity
You're Better Off Dead
Bed Of Razors
Ugly
Trashed Lost and Strungout
Needled 24/7
Tie My Rope
Towards Dead End
Lake Bodom
Was It Worth It
Downfall
Everytime I Die
Encore:

Touch Like The Angel Of Death
Kissing the Shadows

That's pretty sweet list you made up, except for the "Was it Worth it" part. Otherwise than that, the rest of the songs are just awesome.

Haha yeah!

 

[tempestadiossa]

I've just read that Threat Signal and Eluveitie will be supporting COB in this tour. You North Americans are some lucky fellas. Three great bands in one concert. If you have a the smallest bit of humanity left, you will take part to this tour.

 

[QueenDeuce]

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT! i didn't think bodom would come back to Canada for at least a year!

 

[xarimae]

little disappointed they won't be back in Atlanta but no way am I missing it - flying/driving up to the Baltimore show

 

[Banan]

im going to be in baltimore show as well!!!

 

[QueenDeuce]

and this time they'll have a full Headlining set instead of a 5:30 slot at Heavy T.O

 

[reignofterror]

I'm a little disappointed they aren't stopping anywhere near me...
I'd love to see Eluveitie again too.

 

[xarimae]

Two more dates announced today:
January 28 - Tremont Music Hall, Charlotte, NC
January 29 - Reverb, Reading, PA


I'm so psyched, I'll get two shows between Charlotte and Baltimore

 

[==>Mask Of Sanity<==]

guess i have a date with bodom on valentines day

 

[GivingYouTheFinger]

I'm so glad they added Charlotte. Also stoked to see Eluveitie! I am really curious what the setlist is going to look like for this tour, considering it's the 15th anniversary of SW...I'm assuming it will be more geared toward their older stuff...possibly a showcase of their entire career? A few songs from each album? Either way, going to be a damn good show!
