Children Of Bodom - The Forum, London 9th April 2011

[Nickstervarius]

I am extremely nervous about the gig tonight, guys. I'm photographing Children Of Bodom (plus support) and I've heard in the past that Bodom haven't had the best stage lighting.

Wish me luck guys, and I will post a link to the photos in this thread in the week!

Good luck!
Hope you enjoy it at least.

I hope you could enjoy the music.

 

[Nickstervarius]

The music was rather good, an excellent setlist I think!

Not My Funeral
Bodom Beach Terror
Needled 24/7
Ugly
Roundtrip to Hell and Back
In Your Face
Living Dead Beat
Children Of Bodom
Hate Me!
Blooddrunk
Shovel Knockout
Angels Don't Kill
Follow the Reaper
Downfall

Encore:
Was It Worth It?
Hate Crew Deathroll

Photos aren't at its best I'm afraid. Was difficult to capture anything because there were far too many photographers. I'm talking about at least 20 of them Was frustrating, but I did the best I could!

20 photographers?! Bloody hell, that's nuts! Never seen anything like that at any shows I've been to and I've been to plenty!

This is the same setlist they played when I saw them in Nottingham this Thursday just gone, except they played an 'Ugly/Relentless Reckless Forever' medley, which is also what they've been playing at most of the other UK shows, according to the setlists submitted at setlist.fm at least.

Good to see Needled 24/7 back in there, one of my favourite COB songs which unfortunately they didn't play first time I saw them, so very pleased they did so this time. Pretty good setlist all round really, think I generally prefered it to the last time, which is probably helped greatly by the fact that I prefer the latest album to Blooddrunk.

That being said, they still need to make 'Warheart' a staple in their setlists!

I'm sure your photos were still great Nikki! Would be great to see them.

Maybe not exactly 20, but it looked like that many to me. Could barely get a spot I wanted to go to because there were too many. And whatever photos I took, there's always a lens showing

Yeah, that was the one submitted on setlist.fm - I was so happy they played Bodom Beach Terror. That's one of my favourite ever Bodom tracks, went crazy whilst Photographing! Haha.

I quite like the latest album, Shovel Knockout is my favourite track of the album, and so pleased to have a new t-shirt which says that on the back of it. I'm a happy woman! But yeah, Warheart would be amazing to hear live. Maybe one day...

That's a shame to hear about the lenses. Hope you got some decent pics either way though?

I'm not sure about that! I looked through them earlier and I can honestly say I am quite scared about putting them online, haha. I'm such a loser :')

Aw, thanks very much! That is probably my favourite shot off Alexi to be honest. I have so many of him it's unbelieveable

I'm glad you enjoy viewing my photos. It really does mean a lot to me. Thank you.

 

[moleSG]

Don't know why you were so harsh on yourself, there's some really great pictures there!
Love some of the ones of Johan Hegg, and I agree the first one of Alexi's great!

Haha, I have no self-confidence when it comes to Photography sometimes. I worry about the lighting, I cannot help it!

Thank you, though

Oi cheeky! It was her Birthday that evening as well But yeah, it was actually hard to capture Emmi, as it's a tall stage and I'm a short-ass Johan's beard looked so beautiful, it amazed me.


Thanks everyone for the comments, greatly appreciated

Emmi's birthday cake was yum, for the record!
