  • is this a dvd or something?

  • i used to think this was the best guitar playing imaginalble... now i have looked closer at the likes of petrucci, jari maenpaa, jeff loomis, chris broderick etc.... years on i can honestly say this still rules ALL!!!

  • @BodomChildBreeder IS CORRECT,INDEED!! These cats rule,Ive listened to Passage a million times,its the fuckin best!!

  • Too bad Roope's solos weren't loud enough :/

  • It's a jam of Waltari's song Move...

  • alexis antatooed hand

  • Roope's got one goddamn long middle finger..

  • They are both great players, even if I love Laihos playing more, just like I prefer Elias Viljanen to Jani Liimatainen. It is very much a matter of personal taste.

  • Alexi= Anakin (Bring balance to world of music and kill Justin Bieber)

    Roope: Yoda (Silence but deep master)

  • @swizes Anakin didnt bring any balance... he became a sith and ruled on the galaxie with sidious

  • of who is this song, is of children of bodom, children of bodom made this song? what album is?

  • it bothers me that roope doesnt have any spotlight. you can barely hear his solos. i like alexis style more but i think its unfair for roope.

  • Thumps up if u think the starting is like porno music :D

  • theyre both great, but for me a truly great guitar player has to have smooth, even VIBRATO aswell as fast alternate picking, its what puts the feeling into playing in my opinion.

    Theres so many guitar players on youtube at the mo that are considered amazing because of how fast they can pick, and i honestly i just dont get it :S

    So to me i would say Roope is the more pollished guitarist as we know he can alternate pick cleanly aswell but also his vibrato is smooth. both are amazing though \m/

  • @deanml1986 one guitarist ive taken inspiration from on vibrato and many other things is stevie ray vaughn he didnt just go up and down with vibrato he kinda goes in a circular motion with it its a really smooth vibrato that gives more depth than the normal

  • can we stop sayin who's the better guitarist in CoB? I for one think that they both r both considered extremely sick guitarists who deserve the same amount of props

  • man, i want to play with them O.O

  • Was all this improvisation, or?

  • @smaratelj yes

  • they should do a song ( no lyrics) with Bucket Head

  • @r3dph0n3 no they shouldn't. Buckethead is leagues above them :P

  • @judaspriestrock buckethead... he is one of the most overrated players out there.... jesus gimme a break... there are truly good guys like john petrucci and shawn lane.. all that makes buckethead unique is the bucked in his head.. nothing special anymore.. everyone can tap nowdays 8 fingers and so on.. just effects using regular shredder.

  • @Guitar1sti Everyone has their opinions, and I respect that. Alexi will never have the song writing abilities that BH has though. (just my opinion) and how clean he plays.

  • LOL at 4:45 alexis face look like : "must concentrate not to play fast!!... must concentrate..." xDD

  • theyve made Roope so quiet! bloody cheek! hes equal if not better than Alexi!

  • roope can keep up with alexi... the man doesnt get the credit he deserves but alexi gives it too him when ever they talk about guitar even though alexi is what makes bodom bodom he still gives credit to those who deserve it. truly amazing guys an amazing music

  • Beautiful.

  • EX-5 Look there hand its like a ILLUSION its crraaazzzzyy

    its awesomeee!!!!

  • Get the best, fuck the rest! haha Shame they dont use those jacksons anymore

  • @mophead02 The reason is 2 of alexi's signature jackson guitars got stolen, and it would take them too long to make new signature guitars. But ESP gave him a better offer so he took it. It is a shame he didnt be a little patient and used the jacksons

  • @mophead02

    They used them in Synergy. Which doesn't exist.

    But if they used their Jacksons live, they'd be sued. Pretty harshly. Live with Children of Bodom, that is.

  • @jeleopard why would they be sued?

  • @eagerbeavers1130

    They (Alexi, Roope, and Henka) all have endorsements with ESP guitars. They get their guitars for "free", advertisement, and a small percentage of every signature ESP sells. In exchange, Children of Bodom MUST play ESP guitars and say they're good. It's in a contract they signed.

    Now, in Synergy, Alexi and Roope can freely use their Jacksons, cause they don't have that contract for Synergy.

  • @jeleopard ohh okay

  • @jeleopard they dont have to play esp all the time. metallica is esp's poster children and they use gibsons, jacksons, esp, and they used to use ibanez live so they could smash them

  • @neoncat45

    Metallica has MUCH more money than Children of Bodom. MUCH more. More than likely, Metallica has a different contract. ESP makes their customs, but they're not endorsed like Bodom is.

  • @mophead02 there is actually a story behind it.. Alexi's Jackson was stolen in a concert and he contacted jackson and he asked for another model..but since his guitar was custom made jackson said that it would take long..that's when ESP entered and said to Laiho "As long you both play and promote ESP guitars you will get them for free" So they agreed.. ;)

  • @mophead02 right! Jackson fucking rulez

  • Great tune! Do COB have more stuff like this?

  • how the fuck anyone can play what he does

  • Please watch my cover of this song XD

    /watch?v=YI64HxhA5Nw

  • CoB and Amon Amarth \m/

  • are theiir fingers okay?

  • are there fingers okay?

  • Roope is fucking good but i can´t hear him!!!!!

  • @ssjlegendario

    Open your ears.

  • you can see it pains him to go slow :)

    

  • what song is this? everytime I try to get it to download I end up getting Vivladi's four seasons summer

  • @RuRianPrince This is 'Move' by Waltari.

  • @RuRianPrince Move by Waltari

  • haha the poor guitar's stolen

  • i want this song tab!

  • I don't have a guitar. Just a $500 piece of firewood.

  • ruslansidorenko.ru

  • Turn Roope louder!

  • i wont gona take guitar in my hand anymore

  • Great.Can't wait to see them live .

    And guys Roope Latvala was not an original member.He joined the band after Alexander Kuoppala's departure as a session member but he became an official member.If you ask me it was a Jackpot for COB.

  • ;]

  • Alexi = God of guitar, just so..... simply put. the king of strings.

  • @bloodyhellboy92 vai, morse, loomis, gilbert, malmsteen, broderick, MAB, buckethead?

  • @bloodyhellboy92 what about rustey cooley?

  • Roope is a fucking awesome guitar player!

  • It's a shame how you can hear Roope only faintly through the background music and Alexi.

  • DON!!!!!! TURN IT UP!!!!!

  • is this an actual song?

  • @crymsinfayde001

    "move" - waltary

  • Wicked video. But, this isn't Roope. Roope joined the band when Alexi was signed with ESP, a while after his Jacksons were stolen.

  • @JTNorquay Afraid that is Roope. Alexi and Roope have been long friends and you can see glimpses of his face on the vid, proving that he really is Alexis ol' buddy.

  • @XFuturnalX AYYYYYE. Ya got me. Although my statement about the guitar endorsements was right, I completely forgot about Sinergy. My bad :P.

  • @JTNorquay No roope is an original member of Bodom, he used to be with other bands, but him and alexi go waay back, i did my homework...

  • @TheJustinDH Yeah, him and Alexi go way back. But not in Bodom. They were together in Sinergy since 99, but Roope only joined in 2003 as a ( session or live, I can't remember. ) guitarist, but then became a permanent member. Alexander Kuoppala was the other original guitarist in Bodom besides Alexi.

  • would Alexi sign my guitar at the 800-people gig i am going? hummm

  • 1:56 : i fucking hate to see roopes fingers moving and dont hearing his guitar...

  • @finlandmetalfan I think the video is in stereo with Roope's feed mostly on the right speaker. So turn that speaker up a bit and I bet you'll hear it a little better.

  • @skalmortis I actually don´t think so, because in that video he uses jackson... but anyway, thanks dude :)

  • turn up the volume

  • What pickup has got Alexi in this video?

  • @luys1996 EMG

  • This is insane man.

  • dude both of them are soooo amazing, i want roope latvala's axe its sooo kick ass!!!

  • roope has much more skill but yeah he has played 10 years more than alexi so... but i like alexis improvising skills are the best in world sounds so unique

  • Demonstration 2??? what?? is that from a book or a guitar method???? what book is that?? where can I get it??? please someone respond!!!!

  • tabs!?!?!

  • Looks like there are many Roope's fans here! Well, check out a finnish band ''Stone'', it was an 80's band and it's CoB's ancestor, especially with the lead guitarist Roope Latvala ;D

  • Lol... this is Alexi's instructional vid, but Roope's solos are miles more interesting and entertaining here...

  • @RindraRado Alexi´s instructional vid??? is that from a guitar method of a book??? where can I find it? what's the name of the video?

  • @immikemx it was a while back so I'm not entirely sure if it's a Young Guitar vid, but the vid itself is titled Passage to the Reaper.

  • Gods of metal !

  • 10 people missed the like button man they should really putt them more apart :S...

  • these two should really kill ther self and reincarnate in me:D Damn I'm freeckd out:D

    Alexi and Roope = fucking good metal:D

  • Go Roope and Alexi, Awesome shredding! I almost liked Roope more in the video (and also his guitar), too bad his guitar wasn't as loud (eventhough I think that Alexi was the one asked to do a demonstration). Anyways, great video! _/,,/

  • hmm i just noticed that they dont give a fuck about roope in the video , like when alexi as a solo they zoom on his hands , but when its roope time ,they dont zoom or even film at him

  • i tought RR-LL has never been made cause jackson didnt wanted to sign them. 

  • @WildKoolAid13 Jackson did sign em you daft cunt, alexi's guitar got stolen and jackson took the piss sendin him a new one so he went to esp

  • why is that you can hardly hear roopes guitar and alexi's is all load and shit?

  • Is this a CoB song? Never heard it, but it's awesome!

  • 3:35... right guy is flippin us off.... lol, he needs more spotlight

  • yeah yeah yeah liimatainen owns them so shut up

  • geniouss

  • what guitar is that(ROOPE)??

  • @brdevilzyan i think its jackson rhoads

  • @slipknot3332 Actually, thos are the Japanese Jackson Stars guitars.

  • @DonXter actully their both customshop RRs from the 80s, the real deal

  • @nblax41 Nope, they are Japanese Jackson Stars J2SPs.

  • @DonXter Google it kid, you're wrong.

  • @nblax41 Oh wait, sorry, I actually were wrong. But so were you. Actually, those are Jackson RR-LL's (Laiho-Latvala)

  • @nblax41 AND, Laiho HAS used the Jackson Stars J2SP.

  • @DonXter I'm not wrong, you are on both acounts.

    Theres a list compiled by people who have worked live and in the studio with Alexi and Roope on the CoB forum, you can look it up yourself. Neither of them ever had signature models with Jackson, nor did they ever use Japanese models. They used custom shop only until 2 of Alexi's 3 RRs were stolen, after which he signed with ESP. Roope did shortly after joining CoB as well.

  • @nblax41 Whoa, you're saying they never used the Jackson RR-LL's? Haha, now that's just stupid.

  • @nblax41 The guitar in Laiho's hand in this video is a Jackson RR-LL.

  • @DonXter RR-LLs had bolt on necks and knocck offf floyd roses. The one he is using is a Customshop RR that was factory re-painted. Look it up

  • @DonXter Besides, with a small amount of research I found that neither of them was even given an RR-LL to use, so why would either of them be using one here

  • There was 10 faggots who clicked "thumb down"

  • anyone got tabs for this?

  • start sounds like porno music

  • haha at 3:01 around that area watch alexi's guitar closely.. it looks like lightning went across his guitar.

  • wow awesome

  • You're all fucknuts for praising these guys too much. Just watch the fucking video will ya.

  • This video proves my point that alexi and roope are awsome together.

  • KE MIERDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA........ JACKSON ORIGINALLLL.... WOOOOOOOO... MI SUEÑOOOOOO..... SI ALGUIEN DESEA APORTAR ALGUNA GUITARRA JACKSON TAN GRANDIOSAS COMO ESTAS SOLO AVISEN JAJAJA...... SENCILLAMENTE A TODA MADRE CHILDREN OF BODOM.. YHEAAA

  • what song is this and who is it by?

  • Roop and Alexi should be Ozzy's guitarist...s

  • Where can I get the tabs for Demonstration #2! It sounds so fucking amazing! All hail Alexi and Roope! All hail COB! All hail melodic death metal! \M/

  • @melodicdeath1212 the song is Waltari - Move

  • Απλα ΞΕΚΩΛΙΑΣΜΑ!!!!!!!!!!

    Νo comment guys!!!

  • Awesome !

  • I bet Alexi cant play this anymore

  • wow alexi dosnt have any tattoos when this was made this must be really old

  • I jack off blood to this bangin shit every fucking night.

    God I love using profanities.

  • The intro to this song is fcking eargasmic

  • dude i got to give it to alexi tho hes only 28 and roope is like 35 alexi is better in perspective for only being 28 like congrates to both of themthis is a magnificent peace of music

  • Roope is a better guitarist, but you gotta keep in mind that Alexi sings at the same time, which is kinda hard ;)

  • Roope a better guitarist?? Maybe his technique is a little better and has a better repertory but he sounds WAYYYYY more sloppy!!

  • @CloudManZ

    Acctually i would say that alexi (live) is a lot more sloppy than roope :)

    But i don't find anything bad with that, i think it souinds plain awesome :)

  • listen to Sinergy - Midnight Madness, both have sick solos but alexis is the best. but in their own styles no one does better

  • well alexi looked up to roope when he was younger so idk

  • rumour has it roope is actully better than alexi... dunno if thats true

  • Laiho is Roopes student, Kind'alike'. Atleast heard so.

  • Sure, Alexis does have a distinctive style. But Roopes style is somewhat like Alexis...and then some. I have never seen Alexi shred like Roope, yet. Still...they both fucking kick ass.

  • Well Roope IS one of Alexis mentors and idols. It's only natural, both of them kick ass!

  • Personally i favor Alexi's style, however now that he is incredibly famous he kinda stopped getting better, like hes not as passionate about it anymore. Anyway Roope is underrated i agree.

  • @6Rattle6Head6 i was thinkin about that the other day as well

    the biggest thing right off the bat is he's started using a lot more gain than he used to. I read in GW that he's shattered his shoulder and fore arm a couple times, that may have something to do with his playing. he's also drunk constantly. But his recent bleeding ulcer has scared him kinda sober, so who knows maybe he'll get back on track. Roope's great no doubt.

  • anyone have a cover of this ?

  • i love roope more than alexi

  • YES FINISH MANS ROCK!

  • guitar pro tab ?????

  • Roope is underrated. Alexi this, Alexi that...but never is my homeboy Roope the topic of conversation. Anyways, these guys are fucking geniuses when it comes to composing music. But everybody knows that already so I am simply wasting my time. Only Im not because thses guys are awesome and deserve every bit of credibility available. XD I LOVE YOU ROOPE AND ALEXI! (Yes, I did put Roopes name before Alexis.)

  • But they're both spectacular guitarists.

    I guess Alexi just is shown more.

    I love 'em both equally.

  • They are all talented a shitload, and are always kicking serious musical ass, but imo roope and alexi are equal to each other. Alone i don't think they would do too well, but together they make people bow to them, lol, it's just one of the many facts of life. XD

  • I love 'm both too.

    but I think the reason for alexi being more ''popular'' is because he's the lead guitarist and they always get more attention

  • @shinmuerte I like Dorrito more than Alexi, honestly... I just like his style.

  • @shinmuerte Blasphemy!!

    Loljk, Alexi even says roope is his idol

  • @shinmuerte Roope is other bands you know that right.... where he does solos and such he isnt lead guitar in COB out of respect alexi... Not cause alexi is some kind of drama whore.

  • @shinmuerte, I like Roope too, but this is Alexi's band not Roope's, so i guess!

  • @shinmuerte yo tiko brohay, i totally agree! just listening to this, i can barely hear roope playin, because the volume of alexi's guitar is overpowering roopes which kinda sucks, but yes they are both gods of everything gnar! by the hammer of thor, by the raven of oden! radicaly tubular, bro man dude!

  • @shinmuerte The reason he gets so much praise for Alexi is the fact that he is completely self taught, which while that didn't use to be uncommon (Hendrix and Van Halen are self taught) you don't see it much anymore. Plus he was only 17 when the first COB album "Something Wild" came out.

    Roope is very good though, he's great in Stone and COB.

  • @mashui99 wasnt "something wild" album made by serpent??

  • @shinmuerte both are awesome, Roope has more experience than alexi people get sooo amazed because alexi does vocals with the fast guitar playing, but gotta keep in mind roope does too, just back up for a few songs though

  • I want Ropes guitar with the cross one the frets, seems really cool

  • hey notice alexi's guitar at 2:59

  • ooo shit its awesome !!!

  • THEY ARE SO FUCKING AWSOME ^^ but its true!

  • Fucking sick

  • every time i see it i get fucking crazy!

  • Does this song have a name ?

  • Now in french comment ! CA TROU LE CUL CETTE VIDEO... C'EST TROP BON

  • kicks but

  • ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER!

  • Just let Kanye know that...............

  • Are u kidding me seymour duncan he never used seymour duncan if you did your research you would know that Alexi in his early days used a RR24 Jackson with a ACTIVE EMG 81 pickup; But it got stolen at one of his concerts (probably cause he was so dam drunk XD) he currently now works with ESP and LTD and has a custom made pick up from EMG that is Non- Active (Passive Pickup) in this video he was using one of his old jackson customs that does have the EMG active 81 hope that helps jungemitball!!!!!

  • He never used an RR24, your research rapist. Do some yourself. He also never used EMG 81's.

    In his Jackson Custom Shop guitar he used a Jackson pickup, an J50BC with an JE1000 booster. (no longer produced)

    He then used an HZH4 in his first Scythe Customshop ESP guitar with an MM04 booster kit (alexi sig boost kit).

    Not a long time has he used Seymour Duncan, but he still does. Blackouts. He does have his EMG sig kit, but he doesn't use it. As long as he advertises for it EMG is happy. BLACKOUTS

  • I play the guitar O.O

  • does alexis guitar have an active humbucker?

  • Yes, Seymour Duncan Blackouts..he used it 1 or 2 years ago i think

  • Alexi used Blackouts on the Blooddrunk album, but went back to EMG because they offered him a signature pickup.

  • Roope Sounded so effing Great but alexi took all the effing credit and his volume is so effing louder than roope's.

  • Guitar hero requires fast fingers. Real guitar requires even more speed and dexterity on top of that. Dragonforce has a fan club of 12 year olds and the only reason theyre considered metal is because they play fast. Alexi is one of the best Ive ever seen and owns herman lis ass.

    I like ESP more than Jackson...

  • I am with you my friend. Yeah all teh little 12 year old wananbe rockers think dragonforce is amazing just cuz its the hardest song on guitar hero...blah they should put downfall or touch like an angel of death on guitar hero now THAT would be fucking metal and hard as hell and it would teach those 12 year olds about REAL metal and guitar skills

  • hellz effin yea, im 11, i luvs cob, and all mah frenz ask mee 2 play sum shitty guitar hreo song that idk.

  • @wowzerz1its2a3guitar same thing with me too. I can rape kids on guitar hero and I havent played in like three years and all of my friends keep tellin me to play some song or too rape a kid thats been runnin his mouth, its so annoying.
