Yeah,you have a point in that Alexi was into the skating scene and all but don't pollute the thread with all this Alexi and Janne are gay nonsence..prob both are a little bi-curious but no harm in that..actually there's a theory that says that we're all bi-sexual by nature but through social conditioning we limit ourselves to one sex.
Anyway I'm not interested in this becoming another sexuality thread or a thread about skaters..just because a band gets more exposure dosn't necessarily mean it's going to attract mindless people who will like the band just for its' popularity. It does give the band a chance to reach more people though whatever way you look at it.. I'd hate Bodom to become a posers' band like Avenged Sevenfold or anything but ultimately it's down to rthe music itself and the way the band presents itself to dictate that..
Devin who? Anyway I get where you're coming from..generally metal fans don't like to see their favourite band exposed to a wider audience but in fairness it's not making the music any more mainstream..
FFS!! In my defence I'm not totally ignorant,like I knew of him I just didn't know the guys name,or the fact that he had a band with his name as its name.
