I'm 41. Dont keep up with new music these days. I still think of COB and ARSIS as new bands I like, lol. Condolences to his friends and family, I did not know the man but he was an artist with an excellent ear who incorporated the best of thrash and classic metal to create his own signature "sound", which is the goal for many of us who pick up a 6 string to play and express ourselves. He was a top gun . Blazed his path, made his mark, I hold him in high esteem . Recorded music is a legacy and testimony of an indeviduals existence, Alexi succeeded in leaving a huge load of kick ass heavy metal guitar mastery.
Agreed! And great post about it man. The first guitar I ever bought was a Jackson rhoads (way back when they were still signed by Jackson) I wanted to play just like Alexi. The flow of those sweeps and the complexity of his scores were amazing. He was 100% a guitar God and will be missed amongst fans, family, friends, and guitarists around the globe.
I remember the first time I heard this solo I had to rewind and listen to it again like 20 times in a row......so much soul and OOOMPH in this solo!!!!!!
@@konspiracybeats Every time I listen to this song, I rewind at least 10 times to the begining of that solo to listen to it again. Every single time ! This is one of the best solos I've ever heard.
The technique in this solo is incredible, everytime I watch this vid I have to rewind multiple times. Especially at 3:42 where he does the sweeps and transitions into the tapping bends
God this is painful to watch. He was so young, so talented. Any guitar player that listened to him was inspired in some sort of way by his playing. Damn
RUclips suddenly recommend me "Are You Dead Yet?" And "Not My Funeral" when the guitarist who play it dies. This algorithm has a morbid sense of humour.

You won't often find this level of actual hard work earned raw talent displayed on many musical Genres in 2021. Hopefully, you heard something you liked and saw the hard work and practice displayed to earn this level of ease "Playing" something this difficult for the rest of us still alive only look back in awe , and hate the fact that with 20/20 hindsight eyes we just didn't put in enough hard work to aim for, to be this good at something 100% KNOWING what it was we were doing to learn this level of displayed craft originally as he did. RIP Alexi ..
It's funny how the 1st album could partly be considered melodic black metal and then the "sudden" change to melodic death metal, to even melodic hc punk at some point.
They aren't death metal at all man even alexi said they play thrash and or melodic metal. Never seen him classifying cob as DM. Not like they could be lol. Big difference between cob and severed savior. My band is on the same label. Theyre all great dudes that play awesome shit and they're fun to be around but they aren't DM lol.
no, not at all. Paul Gilbert is perfectly clean, even if he uses reverb and delay, Joe Satriani uses all kind of effects and never is sloppy live or in studio. . Alexi is sloppy whether he uses multiple effects or not.
wow... Gilbert and Satriani could change Alexi's dypers... i could name you at least 10 guitarist much cleaner and better than Alexi. Alexi is good, just sloppy. dont get me wrong, i like COB and i listen to it. i just find that Alexi has a lack of consistence in his playing and doesnt play clean when performing live, tutorials or on EMGTV
Alexi was " one in a million." a master, best guitarist in the world. we miss you wildchild.. you will never be forgotten R. I. P Alexi Laiho our legend
There are no words that can express the hole in my heart... Hes the reason i picked up guitar in the first place and that means soooo much to me... I am forever greatful to have him in this world and changing helping me through my dark days 💔 R.I.P
Alexi man, Im so sorry for all and every pain youve been through that led to any and everything that had you doing all the things you did to help and cope with the pain. You're not the only soul to experience that and thats why we resonate with you and your work through this life. Personally right now, it doesnt feel like something i will get "get through." Children of Bodom has been there with me through everything good and downright utter shit. Im glad that, for what its worth, i got to be part of the meet and greet during the Hexed tour and got to tell you the impact youve left on my life. COBHC forever.
This song perfectly showcases why Alexi even today is still regarded one of the best guitarists ever. His technical ability isn't anything out of the ordinary by todays standards but it's his songwriting and compositional ability that are out of this world.
You are the reason why I've always wanted to have a Jackson V guitar, which I finally bought in 2007. Your image is what I have always imitated. It's just too sad that we can't escape death's grasp even when it takes the most wonderful, talented, driven and inspirational people of our lives. You'll live forever in our hearts, play persistently in our minds, and resonate endlessly in our ears. Rest in peace, Alex "Wildchild" Laiho. 🖤
Many people influenced by Alexi, myself included, wear beanies, grow long hair, buying V shape guitar, I copy and custom his esp stripes to my guitar, he's gone now but his looks, his musics keeps living
I rediscover this video every year or so, and I am constantly reminded how much more I like this version than the album version because of that brutal divebomb out of the solo. RIP.
the leads and riffs he writes are brilliant, theres a lot of subtle things that i really like. yeah hes not as technical as he used to be but its inspiring to see him play like a human! some very technical players get very boring and play like robots!
I'm sorry but if you played guitar you would know that starting with AYDY his guitar parts got a hell of a lot more technical. If you meant less melodic then yeah I can agree.
ParallaxDG I've played guitar for over 10 years and I disagree. Material before AYDY was much more "shreddy" and had very technical passages throughout the entire albums. They still had underlying melodies and a sense of correct placement (as opposed to just random notes thrown around like, say, Buckethead), but these days he seems more focused on whammy bar stuff than he does technical solos. Starting with AYDY, it seems he changed his riffs over to more chugging grooves (as if he got away from the original power metal influence he once had, as even the overall speed of the songs have slowed). I dare say his riffs are more "catchy" now (not meaning that in the typical metalhead insulting way) and, while he still has awesome solos, they're nowhere near as technical as they used to be. Not that I care, I still love COB.
***** Yes, we have to qualify catchy as "positive" because, as we all know, if you're a metal musician and you write something that a lot of people like, you're a "sell-out!" :-P Speaking of catchy, I've always liked how they do metal covers of the most oddball songs. Country, pop, punk… it doesn't matter, they make it heavy as shit.
All these people saying how many could play better than Alexi; It really doesn’t matter if anyone could play better than him, he still wrote the damn songs. Talent is not just about how well you play, but how creative you are. Just because you can play better than him doesn’t mean anything. Try writing your own music that millions of people will listen to... RIP Alexi
I found COB back in 2000 when follow the reaper came out. I was a 14 year old metal head that just started playing guitar a year earlier. Coming up on metallica, slayer, pantera and megadeth I had never heard anything like Bodom. I can still remember the first time playing that record just staring at the cover of follow the reaper thinking it was the coolest album cover ever and being completely mesmerized and in awe of what I was listening to. That single experience had more impact on me than anything before or since. I literally did not know that it was possible to do the stuff Alexi was doing with a guitar. Alexi became my favorite guitar player that day and has been ever since. I've obviously discovered many other amazing players and influences since then but Alexi will always be THE guy that made me take guitar seriously and really give 110% every time I play. I'm 34 now and hearing he passed broke my heart. I spent well over half my life looking up to him and trying to nail every track on every Bodom record. I never knew him personally but In a wierd way it feels like I lost an old friend. It has been cool seeing so many comments on youtube and social media with tons of guys with very similar stories as mine. Its awesome seeing he had such a huge influince on so many people like myself. He was a 1 of a kind musician and will be missed. I hope wherever he is, he can rest easy and knows what a massive impact he had on so many
Tan solo ver estos videos y ver la manera en como tocaba la guitarra era una gran motivación para seguir tocando y aprendiendo, Descansa en paz (R.I.P Alexi Laiho)
Tears are dropping from my eyes, but i'm gonna play "Angels Don't Kill" over and over again wright now, until my pain is gone small. Body can die, but music gonna live when we listen it. Alexi your music forever in my heart, unseparated piece of my life.
Often imitated, never duplicated. Rest in peace Alexi and thanks for all the years of high quality riffage \m/ Can't wait to hear what you and Dime come up with up there!
alexi was a wonderful man. as a guitarist and vocalist he is so cool and professional that i watch his show every time i get drunk. I remember him. and his solos. I hope there are a lot of people like that here
He always creates such melodic riffs and these melodic interludes with some technical solos as well. Such a legend, just created such amazing music with original sound.
I'm not a metal person, but for some reason I absolutely love COB. I've tried to find other bands that are similar but nothing hits the way COB does and it's all due to this guy. Incredible guitar work, riffs, sound, etc.
R.I.P Aprendí mucho de guitarra con Alexi, una verdadera lastima lo ocurrido. Espero de alguna forma su música se haga mas presente. Children Of Bodom fueron pioneros en varios aspectos. Recuerdo haber disfrutado bastante mi niñez y juventud sacando sus canciones!
Power of a man! I’ve always loved Alexi’s original & direct approach to the instrument and their awesome design. Such an incredible genuine playing, I’m on my bending knees!!! Miraculous magic . That’s Alexi Laiho✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
when will i ever get the chance to see him playing kissing the shadows :( Edit : now i wont ever get the chance to even see him playing. R.I.P Alexi youre the best there is
***** I bet he can do it, I just think he shouldn't do it because of all the retards. He would get too many bad reviews about it because apparently, everyone is better than him on guitar.
***** Dude you're right. I come back to CoB every once and a while, and they really aren't that great live. Probably because they drink too much before they perform.
Hier mon conjoint l'a écouté pour la première fois, je lui ai fait de ouvrir cet artiste, ce guitariste vraiment performant... Et la j apprends sa mort... Je suis dévastée. Paix à son âme. Toutes mes condoléances à tout son entourage. 41 ans, c'est vraiment très jeune.
Metal community in mourning once again. This one's really tough, It hurts a lot. Bodom were a power force through the late 90's and 00's. Alexi was definitely one of the fastest shredders in the game and the catchy riffs + sick vocals were unforgettable. Metal will never be the same without him. Left us way too soon. Rest in Peace, Legend.
The best part was the whole thing..but the amazing thing was from 3:28-4:00 Aleksi, I am watching every video there is on youtube of you playing or speaking. You were unique. Too bad that you did'nt get to hear that enough before you passed away. There were so many people who cared about you and listen to your music. Farewell. And Thank you so fkn much

You shouldn't play like him. You should play like YOU! But I agree %100, he definitely is an inspiration for many.
Nobody can play like he did. Such a legend

it is melodic death metal so it's not gonna be super heavy like brutal death metal

Alexi has such a unique tone. It's uncommon to hear such raw leads and shreds without reverb and delay to mask the sloppyness :o.
Rimfeldt I know, I hate when guitarists do that. The only thing I personally use is a little wah from time to time (Hendrix style, not Hammett style).
Rimfeldt actually, even without reverb and delay he is sloppy....
Phil L

That solo was amazing 3:26
epic
fuck you that was awesome
Quite possibly my favorite Bodom solo
I feel like this is the quintessential metal song. He's the ultimate rock star and legendary composer in my opinion.
The feeling you get from Alexi's solos is unique, and this one in particular is one of his most original ones.
RIP Wildchild. Once in a lifetime guitar experience you took us on.

Absolutely stunning guitarist. Never realised how much of an Avenged Sevenfold vibe this song gives off without Alexi's vocals.
Alexi, your music and art got me through a shitty childhood. I will always be in your debt. Rest in peace, our Wild Child. God damnit.
His tone in this video is absolutely ridiculous. So damn good.
Suomi Tsunami, hail Laiho! To hear without vocals, just shows he's a fantastic musician. The riffs, parts and solo layouts.
1:34 sounds like gta san andreas theme
i got this too
I thought that I was the only one ..
Damn, you're 146% right
Thats right xD
WTF ?
Metal community in mourning once again.
This one's really tough, It hurts a lot.
Bodom were a power force through the late 90's and 00's.
Alexi was definitely one of the fastest shredders in the game and the catchy riffs + sick vocals were unforgettable.
Metal will never be the same without him.
Left us way too soon.
Rest in Peace, Legend.
This time it is yours.
Rust In Peace
The best part was the whole thing..but the amazing thing was from 3:28-4:00
Aleksi, I am watching every video there is on youtube of you playing or speaking. You were unique. Too bad that you did'nt get to hear that enough before you passed away. There were so many people who cared about you and listen to your music.
Farewell. And Thank you so fkn much
After all these years, it became HIS funeral :( RIP Alexi.....
27 years the history musical , forever alexi.....
