Children of Bodom: Chaos Ridden Years/Stockholm Knockout Live
This brutal assault was filmed in February at the Arenan in Stockholm and displays the boys tightly wrapped in their element. Full stage, full lights-full roar! The band has never sounded better, and their joyous possession of the crowd's attention was all caught on film. Everything from the searing guitar riffs to ...well...using the fire props to heat up some sausage. What can you say when Alexi is hungry he eats! Riddled throughout the pounding metal performance is the band's personalities. When they are not messing with each other, or messing with the crowd, they grin ear to ear as they see the crowd go nuts song after song. One particular segment starts off with Alexi and keyboardist Janne Warman trading solos back and forth and ending it with, uh, the opening "riffs" of Oops I Did It Again (which they did a full cover of on the In Your Face EP). Throughout all the fun they have on stage, one thing is repeatedly mentioned - their appreciation of the fans. Over 90 minutes of pure brutality,
