Title: Alexi Laiho Dead At 41
Post by: Jack the Stripper on January 04, 2021, 05:11:59 AM

Children Of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho has passed away at just 41 years of age.

I wasn’t personally much a fan of the band but I had seen them live once opening for Megadeth and was aware they were quite a popular band during the peak of their career. I think Thel you were a fan?

WTF!???!? :wtf:

Wow...that's pretty sad...

Not a fan of Children Of Bodom but he was voted on many occations the best guitarist in Finland...and seemed like a down to earth kind of guy.

Just read some articles in the Finnish papers and no mentions of the cause of death as of yet...41 is damn young though...and he had just started a new band too...

From what I gathered he wasn't. It was very sudden what ever it was.

I see, I hope that it was not an OD. So many are lost that way.  :cry:
