Just coming back to the cleanest cover of one of the finest pieces of work by Alexi Laiho after hearing about his death. Rest in peace to an absolute monster.
Been watching this video for years , always come back to the watch and enjoy it more every time. This is a unreal cover , something you can always be proud of and look back on forever.
One time I turned that run at 3:06 into an exercise and practiced daily with a metronome, starting really slow and bumping up only 1 bpm after I was able to play it 5 times in a row with no mistakes. Never mastered it and gave up.
It's actually unbelievable how perfect you nail the solo dude. I've never seen Alexi come even close to playing the solo live as tight as you play it here bro. Seriously outstanding work!!!!
Props to this player, he plays 100 times better than me, but sitting down and having infinite takes is way easier than playing this standing live on stage drunk. Just saying, Alexi is the boss, this dude here is a pro fighter!
He is play no the first string 13 and 15 while bending and playing with the whammy... He then shifts to the same thing on the second string at the end of that
He's doing legato (rapid sucessions of hammer-ons and pull-offs) with his left hand while using the tremolo bar in his right hand to rapidly raise and lower the pitch of the strings, which is immediately followed by several sweep picking motions.
Tiene mucho tiempo que no veía este increíble cover. COB y Alexi fueron parte de mi adolescencia y bueno, hay mucha nostalgia en todo esto. Eres increíblemente bueno, dude.
you either really practiced the shit out of those solos or you're seriously just one of the most talented guitar players on youtube. either way, fucking amazingly played!
One of the best covers I have seen, not to mention that this is my favorite and technically most difficult Children Of Bodom song. Hats off, my friend. You really nailed it, Alexi would be proud of you.
live alexi can't play half of the notes :P im sure live metalsuki would nail it.Plus he did it in one long take, i can only dream of reaching his skill one day,we'll see
I have many friends that don't know COB or Alexi. Never really knew how to present this music, because most of the tracks are f*ckin masterpiecess. But now, when i want to invite someone to listening to COB, i show them THIS video:) Thank You for that!
The 1st time I saw this video was back around 2013 and IDK! Im giving the "like" just about now!? This guy has been the real deal among the all metal cover youtubers from around the time!!
Coming back to this video every couple of years. It truly is the best cover to find on youtube. Thank you for letting us listen to you 🖤 see you somewhen in the future
I am completely blown away by this masterpiece, and the best cover that has ever bin reported from this song. It's just... wow😮 R.I.P Alexi, one of the best guitar players of this time
It's odd how I know every note from this song perfectly but I haven't heard it in a looong loong time. Dude! Sick playing! You absolutely nailed those pinch harmonics! Wish I could let them scream like you haha
Holy shit your precision when playing superfast is simply amazing....every single fucking note is crystal clean when alternate picking and the timing in the sweep-tapping section was something even Gambale would be proud....hell of a job
Freaking phenomenal. God. You. I mean even Alexi sometimes messes up the licks on live gigs. The solo is just incomprehensibly hard and you make it look so easy. Wow!
Dude, you absolutely annihilated every note. I'm actually very very impressed. Executed with raw precision, well done sir. My full commendations to you on this cover rendition!!!!
Just coming back to the cleanest cover of one of the finest pieces of work by Alexi Laiho after hearing about his death. Rest in peace to an absolute monster.
I had no idea! I am heartbroken. I grew up with CoB
una lastima que en vida alexi no vio este cover, estaria orgulloso
Yup, the best freaking cover of Kissing the Shadows, the best. I come here once in a while to listen this piece of work.
I didn't know that he's dead... fuck.
I periodically come back to this
this guy was also in ninja turtles, shredder was his name
LMAO
HAHAHA
nice
JAJAJAJA SI
Haha!
2021 - This song still blows my mind and this cover is no different. Absolutely flawless.
RIP Alexi
Same here. One of my all time favourites. Legend says Alexi came up with this because they quickly needed something to round up the album time.
Just perfect
Best Kissing the Shadows cover ever.
3:44 "bye mom!"
lordofmadness1 I lol'ed
hahahahaha nice comment xD
heard him ripping the solos
Seriously, flawless. Best one I have seen yet.
It's not even close to flawless, but yea, it's the best one.
@@alone66666 Actually one bum note amazinngly tight playing Bravo!
@@alone66666 please show us your playing
@@karjii I am shy, sorry :/
@@alone66666 okay then, keep your secrets
That's the fucking great cover. No one can beat this cover, pretty damn sure.
Best guitar cover on RUclips! Everything is played so smooth and on point, amazing :) I know this Song is very challenging to play.
You have one of the best covers as well! I dont think there is anyone else who can play this song on an Arrow and look as happy doing it lol.
God bless and rest his soul. Thank you for this upload. I've been watching it for years and boy did I need it today
Damn Alexi passed, I’ve been a fan for a while and I just got the news today. R.I.P. Alexi Laiho
Whenever I want to watch a cover video, I find myself here every time. Still the best on RUclips \m/
the tap slide speed though... 3:12
Been watching this video for years , always come back to the watch and enjoy it more every time.
This is a unreal cover , something you can always be proud of and look back on forever.
been wondering for years where this god has been. I hope he's still shredding
I wonder that same thing too! Feeling like I’d be on top of the world if I could shred like this 😉
Watching this again years later is still massively impressive.
This is probably the best cover of this song i`ve seen on youtube :D Great work sir! I am just amazed how nice and clean you did this song! Hands down
You are one of the first people I thought of when I found out Alexi died. Your Bodom covers are the absolute best. R.I.P. Alexi
Very impressive. Not sure how people could dislike such a clean cut cover...regardless of whether or not they like the music this is some talent
3:42 when you nail the solo and you tell from your inside "OK, EVERYTHING WENT FINE, NEXT PART" . solid one man, even after 12 years
One time I turned that run at 3:06 into an exercise and practiced daily with a metronome, starting really slow and bumping up only 1 bpm after I was able to play it 5 times in a row with no mistakes. Never mastered it and gave up.
MimicDaravon true story bro...btw your nick is from fft?
DevilizerKao Yep.
@watergod 83 ligma
This comment it six years old, did you ever try again and did you master it?
@@jani14jani No, I really should give it another try.
It's actually unbelievable how perfect you nail the solo dude. I've never seen Alexi come even close to playing the solo live as tight as you play it here bro. Seriously outstanding work!!!!
I agree!
Alexi is the one who composed it . Moreover he can play it if not drunk.
Alexi used to be nearly passed out drunk most shows, now less so, but still drunk.
Laughs in Stockholm
Props to this player, he plays 100 times better than me, but sitting down and having infinite takes is way easier than playing this standing live on stage drunk. Just saying, Alexi is the boss, this dude here is a pro fighter!
idk what on earth he's doing at 3:32 but its god-like
keeping d (first string) steady while bending a (second string)
He is play no the first string 13 and 15 while bending and playing with the whammy... He then shifts to the same thing on the second string at the end of that
WiseLoneWolf kol bro you forgot the whammy bar lol
He's doing legato (rapid sucessions of hammer-ons and pull-offs) with his left hand while using the tremolo bar in his right hand to rapidly raise and lower the pitch of the strings, which is immediately followed by several sweep picking motions.
Who cares, the best fucking part!
Tiene mucho tiempo que no veía este increíble cover. COB y Alexi fueron parte de mi adolescencia y bueno, hay mucha nostalgia en todo esto. Eres increíblemente bueno, dude.
Absolutely flawless. Hands down the best cover of any metal song I've seen.

Watching in 2017
And still fuckin awesome
2017 still awesome :D
2018 still the best Bodom cover on RUclips
2018, hell yeah )
Best fucking cover ever... watching for 4 years xD Can't get enough
you either really practiced the shit out of those solos or you're seriously just one of the most talented guitar players on youtube. either way, fucking amazingly played!
He most likely practiced the shit out of those solos.
No one gets to this level without practicing a shit ton
何回聞いてもめっちゃうまいっ!

One of the best covers I have seen, not to mention that this is my favorite and technically most difficult Children Of Bodom song. Hats off, my friend. You really nailed it, Alexi would be proud of you.
that sweep picking is what kills me in this song when I'm playing it. U truely did a nice one here
Absolutely amazing!!! Ive recently started guitar and this song is my goal.
Its the best hobby ive ever picked up
Hey! Still playing guitar? Have you already got this song down?
Incredible skills. Awesome job
Absolutely phenomenal playing, razor sharp, incredibly clean and WITH feel. Total respect.

Excellent job! Very good sweep picking skills.

That was tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! One of COB most entertaining song to listen to and watch. Well done!
Let's all celebrate the 7th year of this being on RUclips!
I don’t think there will ever be a cleaner cover of this song. This guy played the solo close to perfect, and clean too!
still best cover of anything ever on youtube
Damn. This is the single best performance I've ever seen of this solo that's not the studio version - and that INCLUDES Alexi.
You melted my mind. Oh my god.
Such an amazing song! One of my all time favorites! You absolutely shredded it... So sick! 🤘
Alexi Laiho, stop hiding your face and posting awesome covers :) ! Great cover man!!
Best cover of this song on you tube. Note for note clear, flawless
I am so scared to believe that this is not a playback...
Where sis he plugged his guitar tho?

I always come back to this video

Incredible... Still can't get tired of seeing this video xD
my favorite song of CoB,and you sir must have familiy connections with Alexi...every tone=bullseye...
Freaking phenomenal. God. You. I mean even Alexi sometimes messes up the licks on live gigs. The solo is just incomprehensibly hard and you make it look so easy. Wow!
Absolutely fucking perfect. Absolutely fucking amazing.
There aren't enough words to describe how dead on balls accurate and amazing that was. Bravo.
2018 : this is still fucking epic.
Dude, you absolutely annihilated every note. I'm actually very very impressed. Executed with raw precision, well done sir. My full commendations to you on this cover rendition!!!!
