Children Of Bodom - Alexi Laiho Wounded (Again)


As posted on the bands official website:

"One week ago Alexi had the worst luck. He tripped at a bowling alley and his shoulder was hurt. Something is broken but it's not serious like the accident two years ago. He has to be careful because the shoulder will be sensitive for a while. 6 weeks of no guitar playing - doctor's orders. This means all the activities planned to happen within the next 5 weeks have to be cancelled. We can have a break from rehearsals but what breaks our hearts is that we are not able to perform in Desert Rock (Dubai, U.A.E.) in March 2007. That festival was something we were looking forward to but it just can't happen.

There's nothing we can do about this!"

Perhaps 'cause we're talking about Laiho here, the guy who wants to do all solos and isn't one of the best live singers

That would be like replacing Bruce Dickinson? I'd rather miss the band than see it with a "hired tour musician".

Because that's the most stupid idea ever? Alexi is both singer and lead guitarist if you didn't knew that. So it's quite supid to hire a tour musician >_<

6 weeks without guitar? Well, maybe he'll be able to think more about coherent songwriting now

i agree, they can just get a tour guitarist for that festival, and he can still sing, its not exactly shoulder intensive. When i saw him live the guy didn't even move.

What ever happened to that new Sinergy album? I recall that was put off because of a Laiho injury and we are still waiting for it. Seems like he gets injured always when something important is coming up!

Geez I feel sorry for the people that were going to see them in Dubai, what a letdown....how often do bands come there, like once a year?

Haha, maybe hes trying to hurt himself on purpose. He cant take the pressure!! His guitar playing has a mind of its own!!

Also Tommi Sartanen from Twilightning had this problem, and he was replaced by a Freak Kitchen member I think... These things happen.

I concur, when I saw Children of Bodom, he just stood there. I spent most of the time watching the keyboardist.... Now he is amazing to watch, not like those other sissy keyboardist that just program everything, he plays everything at blinding speed, much cooler than some midget guitar player standing on the spot....

In conclusion, a tour musician playing guitar would just be fine...

poo poo!

Bets are now open on whether he was drunk or not. Odds are in favour of drunk.

To bad hes going to miss the Desert Rock in Dubia, friend was realy looking forward to seeing them after I just got her into them.

This actually brought back memories of drunk bowling actually

i dont even like cob's image and i would watch keyboard player too along with alexi(if you go there and watch only the keyboard player you are not being "mature" you are missing hell of a guitar player!!)but that doesnt change the fact that people going there to watch alexi performing with the band.like him or not cob without alexi standing with his guitar missing its all image(which i think is became cheesy)and people would prefer the concert to be postponed instead of some hastily played show.and his vocals are not very good i think so if he is not playing they can all stay at home for all i care...but if its your only chance to see cob in this lifetime you can agree with it i guess
