![]() ![]() It's just cool riffs, one after another, but most of the songs were kind of broken, structure-wise, as opposed to 'I Worship Chaos', where there's verse-bridge-verse-chorus, you know, an actual structure. At that age, and at that phase of the band, we weren't as worried about song structure. Those early songs still definitely had a lot of feeling in them, a lot of soul. I felt I needed to go out of my way to prove I'm a kickass guitar player. With every song and solo, I felt I had to show everything that I had, it was a lot more about showing off. He said: "When the first album came out, we were just kids, 17 and 18 years old. Laiho echoed those sentiments when he spoke to Metal Blast earlier this year. And that's something I'm really proud of." We still have the same objective we had when we were kids - we wanted to just be as heavy, dark and extreme as possible and we still have that teenage rage kind of thing going on. I feel very proud that we never compromised our sound or wanted to go into a 'lighter' direction. It's been a lot of hard work, but it's made us improve a lot at what we do now, more than what we were doing back in the 'Wild' days. And, obviously, non-stop touring has taught us a pretty fucking lot. I am thinking instead of playing a whole album, we will play the most obscure tracks."Īsked how CHILDREN OF BODOM's sound has evolved since the release of "Something Wild", Laiho told Performer in a 2014 interview: "We have definitely progressed and naturally improved as musicians and songwriters. It will be weird, it will be a trip, but fans will dig it. We might do a mix of our first two albums. 17 - F - Magny Le Hongre - Disney Le File 7ĬHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho told OC Weekly about the upcoming tour: "I don't know yet if we're going to play the whole album or probably just a lot of rare songs from it we never play live. 12 - UK - London - o2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire The month-long trek, dubbed "20 Years Down & Dirty", will consist of the following dates: So it’s getting there.Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM will perform most of their debut album, "Something Wild", on a European tour early next year to celebrate the record's twentieth anniversary. We’ll do it.’ ‘Cause we were kind of bummed out that we couldn’t do it in the U.S., ’cause we had a lot of fun in Europe too. ![]() But then our management came up with the idea to do the 20-year thing in the U.S. ‘Cause we were supposed to be done touring already - we had been on the road for, like, a year and a half. But I started writing songs anyway, and we started practicing during summertime. Actually, we were supposed to record it this fall originally, so I started writing in April. Laiho also talked about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the follow-up to 2015’s “I Worship Chaos” album. So then you’ve gotta start figuring out whether he fits the band and whether he has the right attitude and whether he’s rock and roll enough to do this sh*t.” If you call yourself a musician, you should be able to know how to play already - that shouldn’t be even a question. I mean, that should be sort of taken for granted. I think, for me, those kinds of things are just as important as the musicianship. “The problem is the personality and can you live with them on the tour bus? And also, how does it look on stage? I mean, all those things - what the dude looks like and his whole attitude towards music and so many non-musical factors. “There are great players all over the place, all over the world - great f*cking guitar players, you’ll never run out of ’em, better than I am - but that’s not the problem here,” he continued.
