Do your parents like Bodom?

[SteveMCsteve]

My Mom pretty much hates about all the music I listen to, but she seems to tolerate it when she comes down. Shit, she doesn't come down much... I remember playing some "Stream of Passion" for her though & she really liked it.

Hey, you;re on the guitar world forum too right?

ya i am a 35 year old parent of a 14 year old son that loves cob, and am happy to say that i am the one that got him into cob. but my parents loathed the music i listened to. they got into country and bluegrass.

^ CoB aren't death metal.

So then what are they?

 

[Swabs]

So then what are they?

You have Behemoth in your sig yet you think CoB are DM?

Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Decapitated, Arsis, Bloodbath = Death Metal

CoB = Not (some say Power Metal with harsh vocals but whatever)

 

[kingcarcas]

I was just wondering, i've always considered them Melodeath. As well as Arsis.

 

[inhe]

CoB is technical folk-techno.

 

[Bodomonkey]

I'd call it Thrashy Power-metal with harsh vocals...

 

[AtTheGates91]

i think i remember alexi saying in some interview somewhere on youtube that cob is just metal, no sub genre. id say power metal or maaaybe melodic death but not plain death metal

My parents could care less about my music. I showed my Mom a Slayer album (back in the 80's) and told her they were satanic. She shrugged it off and went on to listen to her Beatles music.

 

[SinergyBodom]

My dad likes COB. He knows how much I like the too so he comes in and listens to me play them.

 

[Gothra]

They like the music, they hate the grunting

 

[drogerica]

My dad likes children of bodom a lot. Especially Angels don't kill. He also like Iron Madien and some other power metal bands. He came to children of bodom and iron maiden shows with me. Though he despises any kind of death metal.

my parents like metal and CoB. that's why I listen, roots bloody roots hahhahah

 

[Kochon]

They like the music, they hate the grunting

Same here

 

[_ۣۣۜۜAŘÇђ-€N€M¥]

My parents HATE Children of Bodom and all kinds of metal music but are very tollerant They prefer old song (the biggest junk of it all)

 

[Txsxhx]

^ CoB aren't death metal.

I say that because the majority of music I listen to is death metal.
I think of COB as kinda melodeath, kinda power, but let's not start argueing over a genre.

 

[Dolf9271986]

My mom hates CoB, but she likes my Are You Dead Yet? shirt, and she thinks Alexi is "hot", (she's 50)

 

[psychedeliabby]

I'm new!!!!

Sometimes I make my dad listen to Bodom in the car with me, because I need to drive him around a lot.

He laughs when Alexi sings. But I sent him the video of Lex and Roope playing Vivaldi and he loved it.

Word.

 

[Dolf9271986]

I would call Children of Bodom a Speed or Power Metal band. The only thing that would maybe set them aside from Power Metal is the vocals, So, Speed/Power metal with screamy vocals. That's my verdict.

 

[Mr. Metal]

who cares if its Black metal or Hip hop..?

It sounds awsome, and thats the only thing you need to know

 

[Yandom]

They don't really care what I'm listening to.. But I occasionally play them Bodom\Cradle\Dimmu parts on the keyboard and the like it.. I even made my mom listen to few songs in the car and she liked it except for the screaming.
