Alexi Laiho Shredding

[JBETHICA]

all those childish comments. "My guitar hero is mo' better dan YO' guitar hero." freakin dweebs

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

Alexi looks like Tommy Johanasson from ReinXeed mixed with Micheal Starr from Steel Panther o.O

[cryan5280]

I like how everyone is basing their opinions of Alexi off a 50 second video of diminished arppegios. Really, know your shit or fuck off.

[d22587]

Alexi Rose?

[xtheblackdahlia93x]

man I'd rather listen to a chinese man beat his wife up rather than this shit...

[MetalSpiker]

His Jackson sounds WAY better, tho i love his ESP's.. notice he's using a stock Jackson pickup?

[MetalSpiker]

I like Slipknot and COB.. but probably COB slightly more. And yeah, Alexi does remind me of Joey Jordison, and Vince from the mighty boosh

[hollandia34]

Lol, the haters here mindless slipknot fans. You try to do Arpeggios like that and make it sound the same I will kiss your ass.

[fanshaw2012]

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

@lucyalin Your comment? I agree.

[evalex71]

Yawwwwnnnnnnnn . . . . this sucks

[MetalDeathHell]

130 dislikes? WTF?

Alexi Laiho is fucking awesome!!!

[mrguano7]

Joey Jordison's long lost brother, this is.

[schrade1guitar]

Why do people criticize other guitarist so much? He made millions by just doing stupid shit like that? F*ck I would play that all day if I made as much money as he has made by doing stuff like that.

[CriolloJulio]

What a Junkie

[Greenman422]

Sorry but this sounds like shit , listen to yngwie malmsteen doing these same licks (which he pretty much basically created) and its a whole world cleaner. this sounds like total crap , he should definetly try to make it sound better by slowing down his shit.

Sloppy

[Rain593]

@Greenman422 lets see you play it

[themicewearsprada]

@Greenman422 i would love to see you play like that....go talk crap somewhere else hoe

[03drzs]

@Greenman422 lol malmsteen didn't create any of this, ever heard of classical music?

[muddyfox91]

@03drzs true dat eddie van halen said his greatest influence was paganini

[IOutDoSyndicate]

@Greenman422 Malmsteen created this? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Thrasher5251]

He looks like a girl :o

[METALLICAization2]

He looks like bret michaels

[Zarnity]

Back then when they still had their jackson's.. 

[malamsenen]

are you bret michel(poison),or Axl GnR???

[michaeljackson5236]

OOOOOHHHHH Tattoos make you look manly, yeah, but painted fingernails, yeah, thats a feminine thing, hehe, but who gives a shit, you are better than me at guitar so even if you had a pussy you still are awesome, thumbs up

[medemon123]

better then his betcha cant play this vid ...

[EpicMachineSH]

For a minute there I forgot there were any angry fanboy comments (obviously by jealous emo/metalcore retards) to this video. Haters, fuck off.

[OfficialSilverViper]

hey look its axl rose!

[Eibon29]

@OfficialSilverViper looks more like Brett Michaels

[dmcknight1208]

could he look like anymore of a douchebag??

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

@dmcknight1208 Could you sound anymore of a douchebag?

[TheCreature131]

@dmcknight1208 if he looked lik a douchebag he would have 100 more pounds of muscle , 6-7 tribal tattoo , tan of a mexican and a pink shirt saying i like fake boobs and poppers.

[Mewsevelt]

This riff reminds me of when you are in Zelda, the Majora's Mask and you go into the fairy cave place. XD

[UltimateViking25]

alexi laiho and jari maenpaa should have an ultimate fucking guitar shredding showdown

[blasbembi]

l2p poser

[RoflCockSlap]

Technically its good, but it sounds like shit.

[ZEHM89]

@RoflCockSlap his tone has always been awful, and that's half to three-quarters of the problem.

[revelinabandon]

lol, that's crap.

[GUNZnRAIN]

@revelinabandon do you want to show me that you can play better than alexi, who happened to win worlds best metal guitarist what was it, 3 or 4 times in a row?

[revelinabandon]

@GUNZnRAIN Mick Mars won best metal guitarist in the 80s several times in a row. We all knew that was bullshit then too.

[GUNZnRAIN]

@revelinabandon yeah but he is still an amazing guitarist - and he is the singer for children of bodom. Imagine being the singer AND lead guitarist in a band such as COB. unbelievable in my opinion.

[godoffhell]

actually its sweeping xD

[SpearShark]

You call him gay only cause you are so yealous and childish.

[TheWezel1995]

No, because it doesn't sound awesome. It's just fast notes. I will never be able to play it but it doesn't sound beautiful. At least, there are millions of better things, so why not listen to those?

[slotuck]

Always hated that pretentious speed crap ! Give me Slowhand any day !

[maluuntheboon]

i don't really like CoB, but Alexi Laiho really is u fucking awesome guy. this year at wacken, one time he fucked up the lyrics cause he was so drunk hahaha!!

[MrSlayer213]

looks like Avril Lavigne :p

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

i have the same guitar, just with a different colour bridge and an extra pickup

[WildKoolAid13]

@EmoGuitarSceneKidxP not really

[ThriceDog]

...this is a female right?

[SpearShark]

120 never reach the same melody and speed that Alexi Laiho has.

[tukimelibozaowo]

It's made for asians.

[megaterra69]

Is he on speed? His hands and shit are all shaky and he's got that...meth look...

[XMETALLICAXxxx]

yeah, JACKSON + alexi= the best combination!!

[lmlCOBHClml]

@XMETALLICAXxxx no alexi + esp fuck jackson

[XMETALLICAXxxx]

@lmlCOBHClml he's offical jackson player, so fuck you dude! (i don't write fuck esp cause i like em 2..)

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

@XMETALLICAXxxx He hasn't used Jackson for like... 6 years.

[roach4946]

whats up with the big hands and the nail polish u bone,head. are u for real dude,dudess jeez jump in front of a bus ur just breathn air someone else could be breathing.......idiot

[schwarg]

back when he could actually play cleanly

[oobenoob]

There is nothing creative or melodic about this. It's just a terrible noise played quickly.

[confuzedr3j3ct]

@oobenoob <3... i miss you :(

[majidkernal]

This is gay! she is not suppose to do that, please go back to kitchen honey!!

oh wait its a he!! damnit lol

[flickersf]

117 ppl cant play this

[sdbassisttm]

This video should have been the "Betcha can't play this" video... /facepalm @ Alexi

[P1aystaR]

класс!!!

[robotsforever]

Sounds like when I change my daughter's diapers.

[fleeper4]

@robotsforever yeah because changing diapers is the most metal thing ever

[FinalFantasyCenter]

@fleeper4 He means it sounds like crap.

[fleeper4]

@FinalFantasyCenter i know :d

[FinalFantasyCenter]

@fleeper4 I know that you know :d

I was simply teasing you

All hail metal diapers!! \m/ xD

[239arvind]

this ain't shredding ..... this is sweeping ..... go home take a shower and wash the shame of of you ... noob

[Kuuttiz]

@239arvind and that ain't a guitar... it's an electric guitar.

[J0SlAH]

@Kuuttiz hahaha

[sigmartheczar]

@239arvind Idiot

[HarvestYourDead]

@239arvind Lol.....Skwisgaar's Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle solo Tuturial quote. I think so hahaha. I fucking love that tutorial

[OHHELLGITMONEYtroll]

speed-8 ish

musicality- negative 4

[IronreaverVII]

@OHHELLGITMONEYtroll >Name has the word "troll" in it.

>Fail troll.

[OHHELLGITMONEYtroll]

@IronreaverVII ok then. Metal is for fags and your the biggest of the bunch. BOOM BABY SUCK A FATTY JEW COW

[metalvampire660]

I like how melodic Alexi sounds, nobody comes closer to him. Everybody has their own style, but Alexi's very damn melodic. No wonder is Melodic Death Metal!

[metalvampire660]

Does anybody know where I could find this whole DVD?

[RandomMetalGuy666]

coincidence much? ive posted too many comments lately so i got that verification box...the first three letters were...COB lml

[MrSpecre]

Well, you tagged esp, but on this vid, he is playing a jackson ...

[jmanrunner]

COB-------CALL OF BOOTY

[RandomMetalGuy666]

@jmanrunner douche....

[Reflix91]

Thumbs up if you clicked this because it looked like a chick

[A5390]

i never knew alexi used jacksons, i always thought he used esp's

[reigninblood89]

@A5390 He switched from Jackson to ESP, it had something to do with his sponsorship

[HaloSevenfold]

If only I could sweep pick :(

[HaikuWar]

I think hes economy picking, any confirmation on this?

[linkinman48]

@HaikuWar Not Economy, Sweeps.

[HaikuWar]

@linkinman48  It looks like he does some economy because I can see the way he picks and the notes he hits on the frets and he rarley does a full neck sweep arpeggio

[linkinman48]

@HaikuWar Nahh man,

This is all basic alternative picking and some sweeps.

Then some tapping on it.

He does a 4(?) string sweep and taps up.

[Lithemasterofmetal]

he is a fucking guitar god! :)

[edwin20096]

son of a fucking bitch thats amazing

[wannabeserpento99]

@Rattlehead0000 hey dumbass have you ever heard at cob ??? this video says shredding... which isnt suppose to be so musical, cob got some of the best melodies ever so shut up faggot

[GerryVis]

not impressed at all

[Wolfman745]

Alexi is my fucking hero when it comes to shredding

[Eupatorix]

For those who still think this is sped up, Just watch his hair, It moves in real time.

Alexi is just a natural shredder!

[1historyguy]

Must have been before the ESP endorsement deal?

[fenderfreak55]

Laiho:BETCHA CANT PLAY THIS BITCH!!!!

[SycamoreHill14]

It looks sped up because they speed it up to the part where he starts playing. Then it's all him.

[shaunkings]

2 steps to make someone rage quit.

1. Get a beginner guitarist who just started.

2. Show him this video.

Rofl.

[Rocke44R]

tabs pls :D

[kaas499]

do you know alexi in real life?

[superdong666]

i think my pokemon just lvled up cuz of this

[Metalurgy995]

@superdong666 HAHAHHA

[reigninblood89]

@techdechcentral I played ESP a couple times, they rip shit up for sure and the EMGs got that nasty crunch. But cuz I rock Jackson Im leaning toward his older sig model

[Sagaterious]

Tbh thi isn't even fast to some of the shit Laiho does.

[Paiinkillerr]

First time I see him using a Jackson.

[mkdilucca]

how does music not make u happy? its an epic happy it onl comes from metal and if this doesnt make happy ur a pussy who cant enjoy music

[DrPrice1968]

anybody out there listen to porcupine tree? songs like anesthetize can be fast with emotion. but as for my comment I'm sorry I came off as opposing this type of music. If it makes you happy I'm not saying don't listen to it, I'm just saying it doesn't make me happy. It's just an opinion though so don't go crazy just because I have a different opinion.

[dharynparapen666]

wow thats motley crue!!

[reigninblood89]

@techdechcentral thats fucking epic bro! Good luck with the purchase, Id like to pick one up too, but right now Im torn between either getting his Jackson or ESP models

[whizzbangnyc]

I saw COB at the Best Buy Theatre, NY on July 16th. I took my brother who never got to go into a really crazy pit. I've been to Slayer and Pantera and saw some crazy shit at those shows. Only COB's show compared to Slayer and Pantera. I thought Obama was gonna have to send in the Navy Seals to calm us down. Thank you COB and Devin Townsend Band for one of the best shows I've seen in years!

[TheJabberwockMt2]

you looks like my GF

[reigninblood89]

@techdechcentral indeed. he is also one of my all time faves

[DrPrice1968]

no offense, but this music is kind of emotionless.

[whizzbangnyc]

@DrPrice1968 Not so fast! There's plenty of emotion in this music. It's just that, unlike a somber and contemplative emotion of say...Eric Clapton or David Gilmour, this emotion is called "Fucking Rage!!!" Keep it Metal! \m/

[DrPrice1968]

@whizzbangnyc sometimes I'll listen to some songs when I want "fucking rage" but I enjoy all sorts if emotion in my music. pain, happiness, love, anger, fear etc. I'm not saying he's not talented. I couldn't do that on my guitar. :P I just don't find what I like in my music in this.

[LYNNNDONNN]

@whizzbangnyc so fucking true man

[kaas499]

@whizzbangnyc not so fast? now can you play that, i can't becuse its to fast...

[whizzbangnyc]

@kaas499 You misunderstood me. I told DrPrice "not so fast" because I wanted to comment on what he said. It's an expression. I wasn't saying that Alexi can't play fast. Believe me, if Alexi Laiho and I got into a guitar duel, he would stomp me and his guitar would grind my bones into dust.

[H3viSika]

@whizzbangnyc no no, the "emotion" in this is called homosexuality.

[whizzbangnyc]

@H3viSika I guess you would know.

[MrAviiC]

@whizzbangnyc This aint emotion, this is technical breifing

[SycamoreHill14]

@DrPrice1968 This particular piece maybe, but most of their music does. Especially their older stuff. The melodic riffs and synths really add emotion. As do the vocals.

[TheTrollMage]

@DrPrice1968 It's from an instructional DVD for a start and emotions are complex things. There isn't just one emotion. I'm glad I don't live in your kind of world, where everyone should all have the same one emotion, wearing the same clothes and walking to the same rhythm. Even as guitar exercises I didn't find this engaging, beneficial or interesting but I think you need to take a look outside the box your mind is constrained to DrPrice mate xD

[DrPrice1968]

@TheTrollMage woah woah calm down! I never said he wasn't talented. It was just my opinion. If this music makes you happy, by all means listen to him. It's just not my type of music.

[WildKoolAid13]

@DrPrice1968 well if pain and hatred and feeling so bad you want to kill yourself is no emotion - your right.

or... you could read the lyrics (i was about to say listen but... this is just a mission impossible)...

[dharynparapen666]

Why that whitsnake outfit?

[LeVeRaGe95]

i owne a jackson rr3 all black with 2 emg's and a floyd rose in drop c :) i am proud to play a guitar brand and shape this man can play so well

[PokeYouWithaSpork]

@LeVeRaGe95 lol drop c... its all about c standard (what i play in).. people give you looks when you play it a not-so-common tuning, esp mh201 here

[AdolfShitlerite]

garbage - meaningless , speeded up drivel

[tenhundredkills]

0:41 Why does that sound familiar? From a COB song?

[potatojuice321]

@tenhundredkills Hate crew death roll! kick ass song!

[tenhundredkills]

@potatojuice321 That's it! Thanks dude! It's been bugging me since yesterday...

[shohchkheh]

lol he looks gay

[ellis0896]

@shohchkheh But can you play like that?

[JJimenez1995]

Just a bunch of bullshit. John Frusciante. True guitarist.

[Anarchyffan]

@JJimenez1995 Lol, look, someone who can't wrap his mind around anything that isn't pentatonic.

[Shyuum]

@Anarchyffan HAHAHAHA PWNED. epic win

[Shyuum]

@JJimenez1995 HAHAHAHAHA fucking idiot.

[cryan5280]

Diminished Arpeggios anyone?

[peaveyandsmolski]

Well now... that's just crazy!!

[leothedrawer3]

what a ugly distortion!

[RadialJugernot]

I could notice this video was taken during the 1990s because he played jackson and because he doesnt have the dragon tatto on his hand

[XxXnonameAsDXxX]

what kind of dvd is this

[ewann3]

he is only that good because he takes the time to paint his finger nails every morning.

[WildKoolAid13]

@ewann3 actualy nail polish stands for a week or maybe two... :)

[mickmos]

Why listen to mr laiho play when you can do drugs?

[MrWhiskeylover666]

doesn't he uses that at stockholm knockout?

[rastamanluvsmj]

i ahve an almost identical tatto on my left hand.. its just on my middle finger and instead of a letter in the middle there is a silver skull ring haha

[neckreth]

whoa he is so young there ;P

[rex3453]

No where near Rusty Cooley's level of "fast'.

[1995shinedown]

I do love Alexi ahaha, what a beast. :D

[lutfiechuas]

ahahah...bullshit

[AissurDrol]

Where do you people get these videos? o_O

[FallenMoonkin]

hax

[reigninblood89]

it aint sped up, yall are fucking stupid, if u even listen to Bodom youll kno how fast Alexi can play

[tramebf]

@reigninblood89 One of the fastest,man!Alexi Laiho is one of the 50 fastest metal guitarists!
