Kotimaisen metallin suosituimpiin yhtyeisiin lukeutuvan Children Of Bodomin kitaristi / vokalisti Alexi Laiho on kommentoinut tuoreessa haastattelussa Phil Anselmon hiljattain aiheuttamaa kohua huutamalla white poweria sekä tekemällä natsitervehdyksiä yleisöön Dimebag Darrellin muistokeikalla Yhdysvalloissa.

”I heard about it, yeah, and I actually haven’t seen the footage. But I don’t… I’m not sure what to say about that.

”Obviously, racism in general, you know, it’s bullshit, and it’s definitely not a part of metal or rock and roll; there’s nothing rock and roll about it, and that’s a fact. But what he did or what he said… Who knows? But on some level, though, I kind of believe that he didn’t mean it that way, but, of course, it sounds kind of bad. [He said] ’white power’ or something like that? Yeah. Let’s just put it this way: I wouldn’t say that.”

He continued: ”Obviously, especially nowadays, everything is filmed with a thousand different cell phones, so, of course, it’s gonna become a huge matter. You can’t get away with pretty much anything nowadays, so you’ve gotta be careful what you say.

”It’s not a cool thing to do, but still… It seems like nowadays, especially, when bad stuff happens, or even good things happen, people forget so quickly, ’cause there’s just so much information on the Internet, and people get it automatically. I’m pretty sure that… Give it a year or two [and he’ll be okay]. Hopefully, yeah. I don’t know… But I hope so anyway.”
