  • Alexi Laiho (1979-2020) teaches guitar playing in a television program with other Finnish top guitarists.
    Alexi seems to improvise a lot and criticizes his own performance saying he messed it up. But Iiro is very happy with him.

      I saw them live when i was younger at the 2008 gigantour with megadeth and since then i always loved him as a guitar player, and really enjoyed a few songs of theirs, but he happened to die on the same day as my birthday and since then i went down the CoB rabbithole. Downloaded the whole discography on spotify and have it on shuffle any time im driving. I can listen to pretty much any CoB tracks at this point without skipping over anything. Spotify told me at the end of last year i was one of the top 0.5% listeners for the entire year. One memory ill always remember about him was when i saw then live, they went into the intro of Dont stop believing by Journey on the keys and then Alexi had an entire arena of metal heads singing along to Journey. This was also before that song was terribly over used and i could actually stand to hear it lol RIP Alexi

      Also the last album HEXED that they put out is absolute perfection. The lyrics seem so eerie on many songs now that he's passed away. Its like he knew where he was heading. That album imo makes the discography come full circle. Its right up there with the earlier albums.

      There is, where Alexi f.ex. tells about his technique and views about playing and demonstrates them. But making a clip requires adding translated subtexts, which is a bit of a challenge. Also Alexi was a well educated musician and uses terminology, that is strange to me. But maybe I'll try it. 👍
