RIP Alexi Laiho

[TheDoktor]

Super saddened to hear about the passing of the former Children if Bodom bandleader, one of the most unique guitarists in Metal. Laiho never forgot that heavy music can be heavy while still being FUN, full of catchy riffs and blazing solos.

RIP. \m/

Bummer. Dude was a hell of a guitar player. RIP Alexi

That guy could absolutely SHRED. I got to see him play just one time on the Unholy Alliance tour when CoB opened for SLAYER. They really kicked some ass that night.
Hell of a riff writer, too.
RIP Alexi.

RIP Alexi, far too young. Saw him once in DC with Lamb of God and Fear Factory. Guy could rip!

Sad day indeed. Hopefully this is the worst of 2021!

RIP Alexi

While his music/style weren’t exactly my cup of tea. It’s tremendously sad to see such a talented player go so young. RIP
