Hellhounds On My Trail, overrated? Your opinion

[The G Skill]

I don't know for you guys, but I love Hellhounds On My Trail.

What? If I were asked to say THE Bodom song (not the "Bodom I most like song", but the Bodom song, the one that has all you'll find in their albums) it'd be HCD no doubt. Has fast stuff, has awesome melody, has great solos, has good keys and has great power. What's wrong with HCD?

I never liked that song. There's that one riff which has Deathroll written all over it, but otherwise I don't like it. I like the melody Roope does live when the singalong section starts (and Janne as the chorus proceeds.) Who knows, maybe someday I will understand what's good about it but not till today. What's up with that annoying keyboard intro and all? All about stupid vocals and groupies.

Well, I think it's a pretty great song, but I used to think Downfall was crap, so yeah, I guess, opinions change and we learn to appreciate things. BTW, if you're talking about the "we're the hate crew, we stad and we won't fall" melody, Alexi plays it live, which is actually pretty challenging.

I hate the song. I mean, I like all Bodom but it really isn't that good. They play it live, sometimes even replacing Sixpounder and using it as the opener. Thats pushing it, they've crossed the line there.

Alexi even said (when asked what Children Of Bodom song would you reccommend people to check out who have never heard you guys?) that Hellhounds on my trail was a great example of Bodom.... thats bullshit.
If I heard Hellhounds first, I wouldn't listen to Bodom. It just isn't enough to drag me in. AYDY did it for me and In Your Face, Punch Me I Bleed, Sixpounder, Bed Of Razors were the ones that I downloaded (before I bought the 6 albums and the live dvd) that confirmed I was a Bodom fan.

To sum up the thread, Hellhounds is over rated in my opinion.

What do you think?

Well, Alexiis kind of right because HOMT is kind of a good example of NEW bodom.
