One thing I've always loved about Alexi is his solos fit the songs perfectly. It's not just him trying to go the fastest, or just doing random crazy solos. They're always melodic and in line with each song.
@@homergump3 I agree, it's why I personally consider him the best to ever do it. Not just the technical ability, but the songwriting. You can hear little shimmers and fragments of his 80's metal influences in his writing, but it always comes off so original and undeniably catchy in the end.
Him and janne spoke about when you’re in a bar and a Scorpions song comes on everybody might not know the lyrics but everybody could sing the guitar solos. That should always be the goal when you write a solo.
Just came here to say we miss you Alexi. Thanks for all your inspiration. I still remember you dropping your beanie at the Brisbane show and I picked it up and ran after you like a full on lunatic fan boy! And said "hey dude you dropped this" and you looked at me and said thank you with a wild grin, you were so stoked I didn't steal it hahaha. RIP Legend! 🤘
@@JeremyBarbell He probably wrote the album when he was 16 years old. Such a huge loss, I cannot fathom until this day. I just hope he's found peace in Lord's throne. R.I.P Alexi.
I don't mean to be offensive, but I always said to myself. You can't have a life if you want to be this good at guitar. Talent doesn't mean a lot. It's 100% dedication.
Luis Guevara Thinking about it, there is a lot of similarities to Next in line, especially the second half of the solo, literally just before the tapping.
COB taught me to love metal music. Were my first metal concert. Were very important for me as a teenager and companioned me all the years after - not every single day like in my teenage years but from time to time, has always been a joy. His death made me realize again how important COB has been for my life even if I prefered other bands the past 10 years. The message that the band splitted hit me, but I was glad to hear that alexi was continuing so that I would be able to enjoy his compositions further. The message of his death hit me harder than I could have imagined before... His music will be an important part of the rest of my life, I will always be sad that he had to leave so young. Hope he found peace in his life that carried him to its end
Was just listening to this recently. Quite a terrible loss. Let the wind blow out the night, because it gets more painful everytime i die. RIP Alexi. You brought so much joy.
I just learned that one of my favourite guitarists, and greatest inspirations died. I learned it from reading these comments. He was a great musician. Seeing Bodom live was one of the best days of my life and I will always remember them.
Hey, this is a big fan from Taiwan I went to see COB's show 2 or 3 times those days , since 10 years ago, COB is almost my style of playing guitar, singing style Alexi was ready to go to another level with god he was truely hero of mine, thank you so much
easliy some of my favorite alexi guitar momenst ever, thank you, you absolute guitar wizard for being one of the most revolutionary melodic death metal guitarists ever. Kiitos Markus Aleksi laiho for beign one of the best scandinavian/nordic guitar players to grace the world with the metal. skal from norway.
I remember when this came out... In the end of the year the band ended... But even after it I brought the album, after one year than I brought "Hate Crew Deathroll" and now... I will buy all the albums. Thank you Alexi 🤘🏼🖤 Let's remember him, listening to his legacy in COB, Sinergy and the work that he did in the end in Bodom After Midnight, that will be released very soon.
I remember when they first released this. I set my alarm to wake up early to listen to it. But I found out they released it at midnight so I checked it out on RUclips, and it was like Christmas morning for me. To hear Bodom finally get back to that neoclassical sound was surreal. Gave me the same feelings I got when I first heard them back in high school. I couldn’t fall asleep I was so excited to listen to the song over and over.
That's the year where he was touring for the 2011 Relentless, Reckless For Ever & composing the 2012 Halo of Blood album. Not sure how ''an absolute wreck'' can compose an album like Halo of Blood. I've seen that show on Summer 2013 and I was maybe 5-10 m from the stage and I guarantee you that his playing was top shelf. C.O.B. Heavy Montreal, 2013 ------ Bodom After Midnight ruclips.net/video/taV6Z0F4dhs/видео.html
Great songs, vertical catchy, melodic and sound like ALexi allways did!! Hé was not amongst us but his Legacy will prevail, Forever!! RIP Guitar Legend!!
More in the "Halo of Blood" vein than "I Worship Chaos" which is a good thing. Good riffs especially the one that comes just before the very melodic and nice solo. Very hopeful for this new release!
@@JeremyBarbell I can't agree personally and I recommend you to revisit songs like All Twisted, One Bottle and a Knee Deep, Bodom Blue moon, Damage Beyond Repair. It was a mix of modern COB and Hate Crew Deathroll. IWC has it's moments though, my favorites are All for Nothing and Horns
All for nothing was good, damaged beyond repair had a couple cool parts, but was boring overall to me. I didnt like All Twisted at all, or One Bottle and a Knee deep. Bodom Blue Moon was probably their best song on there. On IWC I love Widdershins, My Bodom, Morrigan, and others, and I just felt the solos and melodies in general were better on IWC personally.
@@JeremyBarbell I'll give it a spin this night to revisit, I remember Widdershins was pretty good. Last real great album is still HCDR and the first 3 are just masterpieces.
that greeny man... its fretboard looks like its made from the most dense and dark ebony man could find... the whole neck looks slick as hell... I can feel the quality of this instrument through my monitor

RIP legend.
A legend indeed
It doesn't feel real man
@@TheVoodoo862 I know right, I still can't accept it, may he Rest in Peace
Shred God..r.i.p true LEGEND,he was multitalented musician..His music will live on forever 🤘🖤
İçimde büyük bir boşluk var Rip Alexi
Noone ever will be like Alexi. He was unique, one of a kind. We will never forget him. Rest in peace hero!

agreed
Very accurate comment. His solos "sang".
That's because Alexi was a composer.

Never expected him to be gone so soon...
like curti cocain
@@miguelgoncalves3144 fuck Curt. Alexi is legend that inspired thousands.
@@DexterWTFF I'm not a fan of Nirvana at all but why disrespect Kurt man, he also inspired thousands.
@@thewildhealer541 agreed. No need to trash someone who was so meaningful in music just because of personal taste or whatever
tragedy

And said "hey dude you dropped this" and you looked at me and said thank you with a wild grin, you were so stoked I didn't steal it hahaha. RIP Legend! 🤘
Rest in peace, incredible to say his first album was back in 1997... he was so young and yet so talented... legend
Dude, he started playing guitar at like 11. Can't believe Something Wild came out when he was only 17. He was like a damn child prodigy.
@@JeremyBarbell He probably wrote the album when he was 16 years old. Such a huge loss, I cannot fathom until this day.
I just hope he's found peace in Lord's throne. R.I.P Alexi.
He had releases much before that, check out the Inearthed stuff, dating as far back as 1994
I don't mean to be offensive, but I always said to myself. You can't have a life if you want to be this good at guitar. Talent doesn't mean a lot. It's 100% dedication.
COB never disappoint. Cheers Alexi, great playthrough.
... And whoever decided to add these lyrics effects must be stopped ahah
@Gareth he was a h8er boy, cob fans say see ya l8r boi
Gareth that you’re opinion
@Gareth after are u dead yet? İt was good album indeed
Great playthrough because they just used the actual track lol
@@DeathcoreHusky No shit it's his opinion genius. He fuckin said it!
The song gives me old school bodom nostalgia. Love it
RIP Alexi, thanks for inspiring all of us to be great. You will be missed 😥
That solo is sick as hell, really excited for the album
KaD0 Too bad it sounds the same as their other stuff. Ill just listen to that and pretend its the new stuff.
KaD0 licks are on album AYDY he uses
Next in line is the song
Luis Guevara Thinking about it, there is a lot of similarities to Next in line, especially the second half of the solo, literally just before the tapping.
Hes prolly the best soloist since Friedman and Dimebag. Like legit.
R.I.P Alexi Laiho and thank you for everything!

Me too bro..
Aye that's pretty much my story too. They have been so important to me. Really sad Alexi died
Rest In Peace dear Alexi, gone way too soon!🙏🏻🤘🏻💔
RIP Alexi, may you be in a better place! Thanks for all the inspiration and music you left behind!
I can't stop looking at him. I love the movements of his fingers. It's amazing and beautiful.
Was just listening to this recently. Quite a terrible loss.
Let the wind blow out the night, because it gets more painful everytime i die.
RIP Alexi. You brought so much joy.
RIP Alexi, one of the best with the guitar. A part of my life has gone with you. Thank you very much for being part of the soundtrack of my life.
Such a talented performer and composer. RIP
Rest in peace Alexi Laiho. Pure guitar genius.
One thing I really love about this song is how Alexi uses like a call and response technique with his vocals and guitar work at 1:06
All video footage of this man sharing his gifts has become a cherished treasure... We'll miss you always, man!
RIP Alexi. You will never be forgotten...
I'm glad to have been alive for this legend. He was my whole teens and twenties. Rip Alexi you were damn good
One of the greatest guitarists and composers of all time, rip dude. Was awesome seeing you in 2008 🤘🏼
Man...he was truly one of a kind guitarist. I was really hoping to see him again this year...
The solo rips sooooo hard, love it. RiP Alexi

Same here. It was my first metal show I ever saw! More than 14 years ago now

I've been there. Drinking and drugging. I came back, my bro Alex couldn't come back. Rest in peace brother.
I still can't believe that Alexi is gone, damn it feels fresh everytime i think about it.... Thank you for those song's you've made for us. 😖
This guys guitar sound and ideas for melodies is amazing. Love it.
Rip legend...
The lead solo for this song I felt like the combo of "are you dead yet" and " next in line". Solos.👍👍👍
Alexi was the reason I picked the guitar back up in the early 2000’s….. Thank you my Goat RIP Lil Homie 🤘🏼
Some of the finest playing I've ever seen.
One of the most influential Human Beings in my life, I'll forever live my life inspired by your art, message and guitar playing
R.I.P King 🖤🖤🤘🤘
With this kind of guitar work, the Album will be a 10/10
This has to be the BEST Playthrough from Alexi that I have seen! Can't wait for the new album....
Hell yeah! This song is so badass. But to see him actually playing it is mind-blowing, man!
R.I.P buddy, I feel like this last album was your final masterpiece. Was just another step up like always.
I remember when this came out...
In the end of the year the band ended... But even after it I brought the album, after one year than I brought "Hate Crew Deathroll" and now... I will buy all the albums. Thank you Alexi 🤘🏼🖤

Haven't listened to Bodom in years and I still instant liked. Need to get back into this band.
RIP Alexi; everyone’s hero ❤️ I really love this song...
Can't stop admiring this guy since 1999.. just almost no reason to disapoint.. all the time!
R'I'P dude😭😭😭
Your never be forgotten😭😭🤘🤘

Am a long time fan of Children of Bodom. And I can't say this is changing my feelings.
As always Alexi makes an incredibly hard song to play look so easy
That solo is absolutely nuts, a true guitar legend 🖤 gonna miss that innovation
hola no había escuchado nunca al grupo, y me ha enganchado, me ¡¡¡ encanta!!! , saludos.
Amazing Alex as usual.. The right hand just mesmerizes me every time
Man, this guy. This fucking guy. Every time he blows me away. I love these vids
I listen to you guys for years love it
Alexi is a Legend
Your legacy Will never died, alexi,
Your songs is immortal,
Alexi = Genius!
RIP legend
makes guitar playing look so easy. just amazing
Rest In Peace Alexi Laiho 🌺🌺🌺
Saw em last live in 2012, haven't followed them much since. Glad to see/hear Alexi's cleaned up his playing, he was an absolute wreck back in the day.
That's the year where he was touring for the 2011 Relentless, Reckless For Ever & composing the 2012 Halo of Blood album. Not sure how ''an absolute wreck'' can compose an album like Halo of Blood.

1:27 and the carwash is over...
no rinse and soap appears
The Master of the Guitar..Pure Perfection..
I was so happy when this song came out
He moved on soon indeed, but what matters is that he gave the gift that was given to him and shared it with all of us and that makes him immortal!
RIP du warst einer der Besten
Wow a playthrough where I can actually see what is played! Awesome! And btw I really dig this song, can't wait for Hexed!
Damn. Rest in peace, The Legend Alexi
Alexi is looking great!
love seeing him doing what he loves 😊
Rest in peace, Alexi.
God, I loved this man. Be good to him wherever you all are...
rest in peace Alexi..:(
Awesome riffs on that track, looking forward to the album!!
This man. Legend always \m/ rest easy Alexi.
Whatever took him was firmly gripped even back then. So sad he's gone and thankful for the last album 🤘
More in the "Halo of Blood" vein than "I Worship Chaos" which is a good thing. Good riffs especially the one that comes just before the very melodic and nice solo. Very hopeful for this new release!
In this is way better than Halo of Blood. That album was boring. I felt like I Worship Chaos was a step in the right direction.

Que bueno.,. Realmente Alexi debes saberlo.. te seguimos de todas partes del mundo excelente trabajo...

There weren't enough of these playthroughs with just Alexi. His few videos on EMGtv were also amazing, wish we had more.
at last, my guitar hero is back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is some high quality rock and/or roll. Pre-ordered the vinyl.
En paz descanses Alex Laiho, LEYENDA!!
One of greatest riffmakers now a days
He was a hell of a fine player. CoB is not my kind of music but there's no denying the skill.
Alexi um grande guitarrista. a guitar master in action.. Children Of Bodom for ever ! ^^
#RIP ALEXI THANK YOU

My head just exploded...then the exploded pieces just exploded....
Alexi! Miss you forever!! 😞
R.I.P HERO
May your soul rest in peace ! ❤
Honestly really stoked for this album
Well let's see if Nik Nocturnal will stream learning this soon.
yeah man, I hope So. lol I Was Just Commenting on his Channel asking him to do this song
we still love and need more band like COB,, guitar skills more than electric tone / music
2:17 instantly reminded me of "next in line" solo :D
Yup
Yes...
Yeah
Yeah, so awesome
Hes a good musician cant believe he made all the songs those riffs solos
R.I.P Alexi Laiho❤️
Outstanding like every CoB's song... I adore you Alexi 🖤
