The Top 7 Tracks We’d Like To See Children Of Bodom Cover
Children Of Bodom will be releasing their covers album ‘Skeletons In The Closet’ on September 21st and we thought that we’d plant some seeds for what covers we’d like the COBHC cover in the future.
Skid Row – Piece Of Me
With the right level of massive riffs and huge party vibe, we reckon Alexi and his shredding heroes would do a cracking job of covering this out-and-out classic.
Megadeth – Peace Sells
If someone else out there has the Mustaine-size nuts to pull of that solo, it’s the boy Laiho.
Aerosmith – Eat The Rich
Some serious widdle, a curled (rubber) lipped attitude and a lead riff that’s enough to blow your windows out.
Metallica – Phantom Lord
A phlegm-fuelled punk rock vibe and a chorus that you can easily imagine Alexi screeching at full-tilt.
Kiss – Deuce
Up the pace a little, give it a little more bollocks and you’d have a bona fide Bodom cover classic.
Motley Crue – Live Wire
If you’re going to pick a Crue tune for Bodom, make it the one that wreaks of piss and vinegar.
Johnny Cash – I’ve Been Everywhere
This one rattles along at 120mph. Add distortion and this would be unstoppable.
What tunes do you want Bodom to cover in the future? Leave your suggestions in our comments box!







i’d love to hear them doin “live wire” that would be sic
I couldn’t see them covering any of the above bar Skid Row, Motley and Cash.
I’d like to hear them cover 1000 Eyes by Death.
Also gotta remember that Megadeth and Tallica’ aint half as big over in Finland.
Over there it was all about STONE.
I’d love to hear them doing Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden
Pokemon and Power Rangers theme Tunes. Trivium and/or Dragon force covering those would be awsome too.
Im serious.
Journey ;D
the Ghostbusters theme would totally kick arse if they covered it. can just imagine him screaming ‘GHOSTBUSTERS!’.
what about britney spears
ha!!
Anything off of ‘The Sound of Perseverance’ would be cool, if they could do it. (Alexi is good, but not Schuldiner-good!) And any Venom track would be cool since he’s got that black metal vibe to his voice. Some old Dark Throne could be neat as well.
id love to see alexi and the guys do creeping death, thatd be savage
Highway to Hell (AC/DC)
Toys in the Attic (Aerosmith)
I Love Rock & Roll (Joan Jett)
Firestarter (The Prodigy)
Twilight Zone by Golden Earring
Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Journey
Barbie Girl, Saturday Night, Horny, Karma Chameleon, YMCA……. that’d be some funny shit! Or Hammer Smashed Face, whatever!!
would like to hear them cover one n puppetz(metallica)
Michael Jackson – Bad, and I agree with Diablo; Barbie Girl would be wicked!
ive got a copy of Good Charlotte in there teen days doing Barbie Girl aha
@Eddy
Not sure why you made that assumption. Metallica sold all 26,000 tickets for their June Finnish shows in 40 minutes. Slightly popular in Finland.
Put A Donk On It
Are Metallica not also constantly at the top of metal album sales in Finland too?
hahaha, Johnny Cash ‘I’ve been everywhere’ would be ace.
Im nominating a cover of ‘Mortal Kombat’ myself.
I would to hear Paranoid Black Sabbath that would be great cover xD Maybe Dire Straits Money for nothing.. or Metallica Seek n Destroy as it is very fast and aggresive song O.o Its would be nice to hear it with Alexi’s solos there!
Witchdoctor!!!
@Fufkin
back in the 80’s when CoB were growing up, while Tallica and Deth were slaying the States in Finland it was all about Stone. Nowadays its a different story though.
@theverdict FUCKING WIN haha!
Girl! I wanna take you to a gay bar!
Cherry Pie by Warrant.
Still of The Night
YES PUT A DONK ON IT YES
Dyers Eve – Metallica
Overkill – Motorhead
Heavy Metal Thunder – Saxon
Beast and the Harlot – Avenged Sevenfold
Du Hast – Rammstein (But they should do it in Finnish, instead of German)
Duality – Slipknot
Thats my 7
Not sure Alexi could pull of Duality…maybe Eeyore?
…and after further thought, Put A Donk On It may not be such a good idea…For some reason I have a bad feeling that could turn out souding like Brokencyde
hahaha cherry pie
I think they should stray away from Maiden since hearing Aces High. Hearing Peace Sells would be AMAZING though!
@ theverdict
alexi doesnt need to do songs he can “pull off” he performed oops i did it again after all and made it wicked
I always imagined that the bodom tune of Ace of Spades would sound killer!
Scatman John
or Your Gaulish War, Calling The Rain, or The Arcane Dominion by Eluveitie
They could honestly do Eluveitie, maybe give alexi or Janne some fun with the acient-instruments parts
Should do Dance Of Eternity by Dream Theater
Pour some sugar on me – Def Leppard
gay bar, put a donk on it, ganstas paradise, eminem-till i collapse, lil jon-get low, take on me, dry your eyes
i really dont see why people put things like dream theatre. you want a song that as soon as it comes on everyone will know. you dont want a metal song thats basically going to be the same with a slightly twiddlyer bits stuck in.
