Children of Bodom Update From Unholy Alliance Tour

By jason

CHILDREN OF BODOM bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith has posted the following update at the official COB website:

"The Unholy Alliance tour has started very well... Three shows behind. It's been really cool to play in arenas. I first thought it might be boring, cos you don't get the same contact with the crowd. You know, the crowd is far and the stage is high and so...

But it's been great. We have fit really good on stage, the reactions in the SLAYER crowd has been great. We've been surprised how people have been shouting our name before our set. And we haven't so far got the reaction we were afraid of, that 5000 people would scream SLAYEEEER between every song...

Production, people on tour, bands... everything's been great, smooth and above all expectations.

So, we are having fun here. Minor health problems (I had to get some antibiotics in Massachusetts), air conditioning problems (it broke down and its fucking hot!!!!!!! in the bus) but everything else is great!!!

Later,
Henkka"
