Dude, I always knew that 90% of CoB fans behaved like 12 year olds... but I never thought I'd see the day where someone would think that they were COOL because they had over 3,000 posts...

You know what thousands of posts on a music board says to me....

NO LIFE!!!

For those of you who consider yourselves more intelligent than someone who is a "NoOb" (lol)... I might suggest getting a girlfriend, a job, some friends... and maybe a car.

ON TOPIC....

I can't really be one to judge whether or not Alexi's playing has changed for the better or for the worse over the years... but I will say that I think a lot of the reason that the newer solo's (AYDY and HCDR) are less complex is simply that the music is less complex.
They have taken a more straight forward approach on the newer material... as where the older music was much more technical and was more about guitar/keyboard solos than it was actual vocal melody.
Older albums had more melody in the MUSIC... but i'd say that it'd be pretty ignorant to argue that the newer albums don't put more emphasis on vocal melodies/choruses.

lets not forget what made Cob in the first place CoB it was their first 3 CD's
they got their name they got their fans.
now days they change their style their music their fans, and like you said they are most of them 12 years old, act like that will sink them.
they turn to another "MTV" band rasing for a vid a or two get the spot light and head lines and sink and sink again become forgoten...

if CoB would start as now days band people would look at them and pass to the next song next band, but CoB started as the old great CoB and thats what annoys me about all of this

Yes, the band has definitely taken a less complex approach to their most recent album(s). After seeing CoB live more times then I can count (and coming up at Ankkarock) I can say that I believe Alexi's skill has decreased. If it hasn't then I believe his heart isn't in it as much as say... 6 years ago. Just watch the Nosturi gig on Youtube (or where ever) you can hear and see his mistakes and clearly the energy that is missing from previous gigs you can find on the internet from even 2 years before hand.

Maybe he is getting burnt out from all the USA touring? That is a lot of travelling and a lot of gigs over the last 3 years.

I'm not sure who you're referring to as "fags"... but just in case it's me... i'm a college student for your information.
College is probably farther than you or half of other CoB fans will ever make it... so shove it junior.

I'm a senior at University here in Virginia, and I'm 21 years old and I've played guitar since 7th grade. Don't call me Junior, fag.
 
Why cant you accept that alexi skill decreased but still good and stop having stupid kid fights. Are you fucking deaf or what?

I think you're wrong, I've listened to COB since before FTR was released and I love the old albums as well as the new ones. The sound has changed for each album, but they are all enjoyable, and I think it works good live when they mix old and new songs aswell. Of course the Stratovarious/Imperanon fans will prefer Hatebreeder when the Slipknot fans will prefer AYDY, but why does it matter? Personally I don't like any of those bands but I still think every COB album up to date is amazing. Metalfans in general are so fucking stupid and afraid that they're not as cool anymore when the kiddies starts to listen to their favourite bands (which is a natural thing when the bands get bigger). Just listen to the music if you like it, don't listen if you don't like it and STOP WHINING

No, it will not. Because all the little fannibaws like to argue with everyone and say that Alexi really is the best guitarist in the world and that drinking and smoking more just makes him more of a bad ass rock star than he already is. Maybe I am being arigant when I say this, but I am pretty much seing a downhill slope for Bodom. Involving lots of tight pants, razor blades, and as well as the emo cunts. It dusgusts me to see such a great band fall into the hands of the mainstream. Alexi is already to the point of being so smashed that he is bi-curious. Not to mention Bodom AND Slayer being sponsored by Hot Topic. That is another great band that has fallen into the mainstream.

I think Bodom should finish up the Unholy Alliance Tour, then take a hard look at themselves in the mirror. They need to sort some shit out. They need to listen to their old recordings and find out why their older fans have already left them for their "new sound". Alexi need to realize why he quit school all those years ago. They need to find the element that was driving their older fans away in the first place. And last, but not least, COB needs to lay off of the heavy drugs.
