Or perhaps he was actually at the show. Were you? Have you watched footage from it? See Jaska's good-bye speech on his own? Did you check the setlist? This wasn't a special show and a very poor send off for the final gig with this lineup. Janne did not want to be there from the bunch of videos I've seen, no enthusiasm and was in a bad mood the whole show. There was no second encore, no special requests, when the show ended everyone left the stage leaving Jaska on his own where he got very emotional. Compared to other band's final shows where they prepare something special and play for several hours with a big farewell speech this was a poor way to end.
It's sad to see Children of Bodom ending this way but there has been a lot of trouble in the Bodom camp over the years. Most of it won't become public, much like with Roope only a little is known publicly, on that note he was in town for the show as well as a bunch of other Finnish musicians for the final show. The lads taking the name and leaving was in the works for a long time.
Lol. I was there. I attended all shows on this tour. What I say here I base upon my own experience with the band. So FYI I don’t judge by seeing videos, but what they tell me and what I see with my own eyes. I can’t understand how you or your friend think they didn’t want to be on stage. Janne in a bad mood? You must be joking, but I guess you know better.
This show had classic CoB lights and car on stage, the setlist was longer than the rest of the tour and the encore was 4 songs. This wasn’t indeed something super special as many people would have wanted but it was what it was. The final show for these three original members. I told Jaska after the show that it was nice of him to make this speech cause something had to be done, Alexi only briefly thanked those three and that was it. He said he did it on behalf of them as well.
I don’t think many of you understand how hard it is for them to quit doing something they’ve done and loved for so long. Yeah there were talks about them leaving already a while ago but it actually didn’t happen the way those three wanted it to happen.
