Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on April 11, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Alexander Kuoppala! May your day shred harder than the iconic riffs you unleashed with Children of Bodom. From electrifying stages worldwide to inspiring countless air guitar solos in bedrooms everywhere, you've truly left a mark on metal history.

Here's hoping this year brings as much excitement and success as those legendary COB tours—minus any lost luggage or broken strings. Keep rocking hard enough that even Finland's coldest winters can't chill your fiery talent!

Cheers to another epic trip around the sun filled with laughter, music—and perhaps fewer stage dives gone wrong. Stay awesome and rock forever!
