How long have you been a Bodom fan?

Well I don't really care how long someone claims to have listened some band just to make them seem more convincing, but I find it quite amusing when some kid (probably 14-16 years old) comes to say, that he has listened CoB for 14 years and then next day he says that he just recently heard a rumor that Alexi is possibly gay.
 
This thread is like When did you first hear about COB, or When did you first hear COB?

I first heard it when Follow the Reaper came out in 2000, but I didn't like it at first.
Then stuff happened and by beginning of 2004 I had become an obsessed fan.
 
Yea and plz come to Spain, Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, Poland, Singapore, fucking Tibet, Israel China WE HAVE AIDS HERE! :loco:

come to american we have super AIDS haha

anyways to stay on topic I actually remembered I heard their album warheart about '99 and I had them scarecly on CD mixes, then around 2003 I became a fan lol
 
I've been a CoB fan for a little over 2 years. Pisses me off that I got into them late and stuff cuz these days they never plays my favotie song anymoar. xP

The warheart album... Either trollin or srsly a Children of Bodom nubcake.
Ausgezeichnet.
 
since 2003. i was around 13. one of the first 'metal' bands i got into.
i have yet to see them live. every opportunity i had was just bad luck.
now i don't love CoB as much as i used to! :(
 
Actually they were the ones that got me into metal, in a way. I listened to Children of Bodom for the first time about uhm...6 years ago. Although at first I wasn't exactly a fan, I just knew 2-3 songs, so I've been a fan for 5 years. Pretty cool, considering I am 18. Go me!

PS: Just like the person above me, I prefer their older stuff.
 
I first heard them in 2005 I think.. But then I only knew 'Follow the Reaper' and the cover 'Don't stop at the top'..
I didn't start really listening to them in 2006 I think, when a friend of mine told me about a lot of metalbands and gradually CoB just became my favourite..
First time I saw them was early 2006 but I didn't know them that well so I didn't really see much of the gig, I was with friends who weren't into metal anyway and that kinda ruined the gig.. If I would have been there without my friends I think I would have been hooked as from that gig..
 
The first time I heard of them was sometime in 2003. A friend of mine was listening to them.
But I have to admit that while I always knew of them since then, I only became a fan in 2007, when I got the first three albums and finally started to really listen to their music.
What finally got me completely hooked was HCDR, though the first song I really fell in love with was 'Warheart'.
