Welcome to Gaia! ::

Best..? Doubt that. Listen to DragonForce and compare talent. Or even try to compare his stuff to Zakky Wylde from BLS.

But I like Children of Bodom and hate it when people mispell the word "Bodom" (i.e. Bodem).

Fav album is probably Are You Dead Yet?

It's kind of rare to even find COB albums in the US mainly because the band hasn't sold out yet like HIM or Rammstein.

Pretty much. I know that Sam Goody carries most of them but their way overpriced.

I'll have to look again. The last albums I bought were to complete my Cannibal Corpse collection.

They usually do, just never in the right place.

Yeah power metal tends to have some pretty crazy guitar parts.

Ok, first off, they're from Finland, not Norway.

Second, they aren't much like true Black Metal.

Third, what I meant by that was that their guitar riffing and soloing is power metal influenced. Children of Bodom are Death Metal, specifically Melodic or Melo-Death because of the influence of Progressive and Power metal on their keyboard and guitar style.

No one who actually knows black metal would even think of putting them in that category.
