When I hear Alexi is like hearing a friend of mine.

I think I might have been one of those guys that Alexi described. I'm 50 years old and I've a been a huge Megadeth fan ever since KIMB. Last November my son and I went to see Megadeth, supported by COB, LoG, and Sylosis, at Manchester. What an incredible eye opener. I'd seen some major headliners in the past with some dreadful support acts but the performances at Manchester were outstanding from all. Up until this point I'd never heard anything from COB, LOG, or Sylosis, but now all three are regulars on my play lists. Just goes to show you're never too old to be opened up to new vibrations. Regards Nidge

That interviewer wouldn’t let the politics go, Alexi clearly didn’t want to chime in on another countries politics that he blatantly doesn’t follow. He was pretty reasonable with his answers. There’s nothing Metal about being passionate about politics. The dude looked like he just wanted to go play his guitar during that interview

If it wasn't for COB I would have lost interest in death metal. RIP alexi laiho 🤟🤟

Real fans know that Phil is not a racist..

that guy conducting the interview is a clown...he was asking emotionally charged questions, almost begging Alexi to answer in a way that would pander to his own personal ideals

RIP Guitar God

We'll always our horns up for you Alexi 😢

I saw them live, had never listened to them, and Alexi did it man, I bought an album.

That was a nice substantive interview. Thanks!

That description of contrasting rhythm styles of Hetfield and Mustaine is awesome!

"Hey this Alexi Laiho of 'Chillin'a'Bodom"

Children of Bodom, tanning lotion. Two concepts that shouldn't be mixed.

who the hell didn't know about Children of Bodom in 2016?

I was so pumped to see these guys with Megadeth here in Hawaii. They cancelled like three days before the concert. Crushed my soul man. \m/

The 21st century Heavy Metal scene: A bunch of cool guys sitting around a room, air jamming and using words like "Dude" "Bro", "Like" and "Like, you know?" or "I mean..."

Glad to see a voice in the comments here about the PC bullshit, would've guessed the vast majority would be on par with Laiho's very complacently/lazy pc interview. No, you don't have to "be racist" or even a Trump supporter to be metal, but to be so blatantly pc and mainstream is obviously the very diametric opposite of what metal is.

Man how can it be you are a megadeth fan and dont know about children of bodom. we megadeth fans love you children of bodom. R.I.P my brother.

Feel bad they cornered Alexi w this stuff

Metal is so PC and trendy now.

Good questions, never heard these being asked to a metal guy before

I always cheer and support the supporting bands when I go to see my fav band playing. Doing otherwise (unless there are terrible) is so UN-metal. These guys give their fuckin' souls to warm up an audience who's not theirs...they deserve better.

WOW!!!! Alexi sounds 99% less Scandinavian than I expected. I thought he would sound like Skizgaar Skwigelf from Dethklok. He sounds like a regular American dude.

What he really wanted to get across here is the first thing he says: Comes to NY-USA, band manager attacked and horrible hotel conditions. Very unlikely to happen in Helsinki-Finland.

Mustaine has written way more good songs and plays lead. Ansemlo said sorry. Trump is the only one with the balls to talk about 7/11

It's funny that in an 1999 interview he and Alexander Kuoppala were asked what they thought about Metallica (Reload era). And the answer wasn't quite nice although they could say worse hahaha

I would loved seeing his opinion on ZERO TOLERANCE he did with I.N. - I am just curious if that lyrics reflect his own views or the views of Mika...

How stupid of the interviewer to corner him with political questions. He's made it pretty clear in the past that CoB is not a political band and that he tries to distance himself from anything that has to do with politics. All respect to Alexi Laiho, not because of his "never said anything politically incorrect" -attitude, but because of what he does and continues to do. The american accent still bothers me though and makes everything he say sound incredibly superficial.

hey its alex here for chilumbodom

Oh yeah i forgot im not allowed to like metal and trump...too much freedom

I love COB, but with this PC bullshit... I swear. Need more Seth Putnams in the world

I want a good look at that ESP.

what song was at the end???

What is the intro song after Horns?

Skwisgaar is a cool guy!

I' been watching The headstock of the guitar more than Alexi. so bold !!!

RIP Alexi you are sadly missed

Eh... the guy clearly doesn't know his politics and made that clear when he tried to answer the question. I, too, try to avoid politics. They're boring and just... fuck politics, man. Probably should've skipped the question, not really fair to ask someone something they clearly don't give two shits enough about to read up on.

What is that music at 0:33 to 0:48

10:20 I'm sure he's talking about Dream Theater 😅🤣🤣 RIP Legend🖤

What song was that in the intro

Back in the days when Alexi and Roope were asked opinion about Metallica they said its bad

First cob song?

The longest questions ever!

hahaha Alexi said he wasn't going to drink on the road anymore! Well that didn't last very long!

God Damn..Alexi has a cool cap!

Rip metal god i can't believe he's gone condolences to his family.

R.I.P Alexi.\m/

Damn, why they put Alexi on the spot like that with those questions lol

Damnit i like alexi's point of view on politics ^_^ can't wait to see cob live

The BRUNO of metal.

Nice interview man, intense questions.

Never liked CoB that much, but I find it fascinating that they're still seen like the new guys...

"fake laught intencifies"

What a pointless waste of hard drive space.

Anselmo definitely meant it in a racist way. The Machine Head guy has since come out and explained some of what went on behind the scenes.

I thought this was Scotti Hill xd

Who did what?

Rip Alexi

The interviewer was so pushy with the Phil Anselmo thing lol

oooooooooo!! Lexi said "ghetto"...he's obviously a super racist! Also, he had a side project back in the late 90s (I think it was Thy Serpent) and I remember in the band pics that one of the members was wearing a Grand Wizard KKK outfit. Of course I know Alexi probably isn't racist (he was banging Kim Goss), but he knows firsthand that people in the metal scene tend to have screwy senses of humor.

So this is what Mike Péna's been up to.

Yeah, let's judge a metal singer on what he says during a live show... Dude, people are fishing for wrong answers!

Never would’ve expected Alexi bashing on Trump. Definitely respect him a million times more 🤘

You don't see many metal interviews going in this direction. Not a bad thing though...

Alexi seems shy and modest.......pretty rad, but what is wrong with his eye?

I thought he was chillin out on the drinking on tour?

Alexi, You're a legend!

nice.

Phil is NOT a racist. Phil came from a place where he was bullied by racist blacks in bad aread he grew up in. First of all, lets remember that he porusely apologized for what he did at that concert...and sincerely, with tears and honesty and humbleness. That said, what he did that time was wrong..he admits it, he was pissed off at being constantly race shamed for the accident of birth of being born white, Phil is not a supremacist or a racist of any kind, he's an individualist, what he IS is a white/male who is doe snot give into the racist and sexist bullying by regressive leftists and others trying to guilt white people and males simpley for being born that way. That's it. What he did at that concert was just him lashing out in the wrong way cause he is rightly fed up with such b.s. and racial bullying of whites and gender bullying of males..by regressive left radical gender feminist hypocrites. Why is this such a big story? If Phil was black and did some black panthers salute or something{like Beyonce did and got away with}..btw, the black panthers are a SUPREMACIST group..look them up...they routinely talk aboit killing white people and even white children at their meetings, if he wa sblack and did that...no one would bat an eye lid over it. This whole controversy just shows how radical gender feminism and regressive leftism and it's orwellian hypocrisies POISONS EVERYTHING..including the metal community. Phil is an individualist, but yeah he's also proud of being white..moreso he's proud of the traditioons and heritage of western enlightenment influenced culture, how's that bad? If he wa sblack and proud of it..the same people calling him racist now..would'nt. It's absurd the abuse he has had to put up with. Phil respects INDIVIDUALS of ALL races, genders, and creeds, he made aerror in judgement one time because he got fed up with it all..righyl so{being fed up with it, not the salute thing..which he apologized for several times..in sinserity..and yet he's still geting blasted for it; meanwhile Beyonce has not apologized for her shit...and no one bullies her over it}. --think about it. All the values the metal community is about, freedom of thought/concience/opinion and speech/expression, anti-censorship, pro-liberty and indivdualism, liberal demcoracy, pluralism and secularism, reason and science and so on ahnd so forth, these were all born and put forth by the enlightenment..which was first born from European culture{which by chance happens to be white, it was born from white western..mainly males, get sued to it, this doe snot mean we are better than others inherently racially or gender wise, it just so happens this great tradition of enlightenment..the same that produced numerous kind sof diversity and tolerance thereof...was born from western..white culture}. It is ironic to see this..which metal community owes a debt of gratitude too.spat on by metalheads, how ironic

I don't even like Children Of Bodom, I just think Alexi is a really awesome guy, same with Scott Ian, I don't even like Anthrax but he's just a cool, awesome dude. (I do like Metal, just not all of it ya know, call me a poseur all you want)

what's with the 70 IQ questions here ?

His accent has totally changed.

I like Children of Bodom but I do not like the Voice in the songs, I want Children of Bodom to release an album where the voices are like a Metalcore style but the instruments are the same.

i clicked on this recommended video 1/5/2021...i believe this was recommended because i was watching vids about his death yesterday....this video says "alexi laiho (rip)" & was posted 3/22/2016...???wtf??? haha...i'm confused. morbid for sure.

Alexi is love ❤️

Damn, if you look closely, you can see that his fingertips are already "clubbing" at this point. Alcohol is such an insidious drug.

All that make up, he's starting to look like Michael Jackson

Wow this guy is annoying 🥴 Alexi got a kick out of it at least, and tried to learn him something about not giving af 🤣

Alexi always looks so chill. Great interview, lots good question. Love the ending.

wow he probably should have passed on the political question...

Donald trump or Donald dump....agree with u alexi...

RIP Alexi Laiho❤🤘🙏🏻

3:23 Hetf or Must

Thumb nail looks like Dime bag with his beard

He's got quite a bit of unblended makeup on.

Wonder what the Finns policy is on illegal immigration. Or on dealing with thousands of refugees. By the way what's the racial diversity in good old Finnland? But he likes throwing around the term racist, and living in Cali though, huh.

Juuri näin Alexi!! Kaikki luulevat Trumpin olevan rasisti, joten olen varmaan samaa mieltä!! Heikko Narttu!!

please someone help me! I'm English and do not understand the accent of the interviewer! Are the talking about Phil Anselmo who can't attend European festivals for saying something? I'm not being sarcy

Love you, Laiho. A great personality.

Alexi has never said anything "politically incorrect" that is a lie. Everyone has said something not PC or will say something like that in the future.

Alexi Speaks Up On Pantera's Phil Anselmo's White Power Scandal In Dimebash

Fuck any Metal artist who try to be PC or Left-Wing. I appreciate Alexei being honest.

lol...anyone else throw them horns? lol i did

I like Alexi...I disagree with his comments on Donald Trump though. America has every right to secure its borders....the same as any other country has that right.

Look, Alexi is from Europe. What would be considered FAR left wing in America is like, moderate over there. So give the guy a break. This is probably just how he was raised.

Everyone's racist to some degree, some more than others, but the fact still remains.

phil didn't take time off to do ":damage control" .. he would never cowtow to anybody . if he wants to work he will work its hilarious the thought of phil anselmo being worried about what other people think. he is not taking time off. fuck the idiots who don't understand what he was doing.

I think musicians should never discuss politics.
