[norther2010metalband]

i choose both of them bcuz they very good and have they own style...

[totalmass3]

i think petri is more steady.......rathen than alexi....i think petri is better my opinion though

[Jii1993C]

both are pretty fucking good, but i choose Alexi! :)

[cryan5280]

Alexi is just better. hes more tastey and versitle. But he was better as a kid nevertheless.

[Matfridt]

The solo in Kissing the Shadows made Alexi into the guitar god he is today. Though, I believe Alexi and Petri is almost even.

[steevendu51]

Petri ei oo huonompi, Alexi on vaan parempi!

[hardy0umut]

Alexi wins! Kissing the shadows rockz! <3

[Sanyifosika55]

Alex vocals is better,and talented than Petri

[666tedac666]

Alexi was a sexidol...now he's just a drunken fashion idol :S

[morg555666]

well... just hear the live solos. Petri FTW!

[clez14]

@morg555666 if alexi is not to drunk he is live as great as in the studio ;)

[morg555666]

@clez14 or maybe not!

[cRaZyFrOgGYy]

both are great but I think Alexi's probably technically better....

[youmakemesick94]

LOVE PETRI !!!!!!!!!

[impavitus]

Now we need a band with both petri and alexi in it! That would be amazing!

[Traumrufproductions]

no doubt: Petri Lindroos!! Maybe Alexi has better skills but I like the sound from Norther much more and Petri has a way better voice. Petri is just epic!!

[94WildchildBHC]

Vocals/Lyrics: Petri

Guitar Abilities: Alexi

Songwriting: Alexi

Alexi>Petri but I love Norther too!

[Haarissssssssss]

@94WildchildBHC I don't agree, in my opinion Petri's Vocals are better, but his Songwriting is also better.. Guitar Abilities are quite equal.. Petri>Alexi But yeah, the fact that Ensiferum is my favorite band might affect my choice

[94WildchildBHC]

@Haarissssssssss You do realize that Petri does limited songwriting in Ensiferum right? As for his stuff in Norther, most his solos were rather bland and generic IMO. Alexi wipes the floor with Petri when it comes to guitar and is a WAAAAAY better songwriter/composer. Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper are such rich, masterpiece guitar albums and nothing by Norther comes even close. I stand by my opinion that Petri is a much better vocalist though.

[Haarissssssssss]

@94WildchildBHC You do realize that by saying ''in my opinion...'' means that in my opinion.. They both are great guitarists, they both are great vocalists, and they both have written nice songs, and saying most of Petri's solos were bland is just stupidity.. After all as guitar players their styles aren't 2 totally different, they play pretty similar stuff.. My ears just keep on saying that Petri's solos were better.. and just so you don't miss it These are my opinions!

[BBMF92]

Way to fuck up a beautiful guitar should hav left it alone

[opnaardeshop]

yes lets all compare artists... they're both fckn good if you ask me

[Steffdeskullray]

PETRIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! ROCK

[Bakri13]

P E T R I lindroos <333 i like he style.

[barogon94]

alexis way better than petri

[StickBeeSK]

Petri Lindroos

[dwayne515]

You know it would have been really nice if you mentioned which songs the solos are from in the description. It would help ALot of us, including me. Please try and do that? >_<

[57world57]

@dwayne515

but thats the fun of it:) u like a song u go search for it you get into other songs, other albums, other bands ;)

[dwayne515]

@57world57 yeh thats true but.. these solos are from different albums its really difficult.. I know the songs of the CoB solos.. but I dont know most of the norther songs.

Anyway its cool ill find the songs one day lol :P

[evilotto77cheese]

@57world57 It's all very well and good telling us to search for it, but how can we search for a song we don't know the name of?

[dreadss64]

You know what i just noticed people just like to upload videos like this just to see people fight and argue

[vennomwitchking]

hmmm alexi or pete meh there solos are both sexc haha

[WishmasterTheDark]

Petri!

Alexi is overrated!

[IronyBeaver]

@WishmasterTheDark No. No he is not.

[WishmasterTheDark]

@IronyBeaver

Yes. Yes he is.

[DarkNagell]

Petri, Petri, Petri.

I prefer him in everything, he's more clear with the guitar, less baroque, simple, but it has a strong effect.

The voice is way better than Alexi's.

This is just my personal taste, if you don't agree there's no reason to insult.

[azphael]

petri is good but he's just TRYING to imitate Alexi's beginnings

[iamacircleraisin]

lol



[JassiiiM]

can't even say who i like better ...

lov'em both! =)

[melodicdeath1212]

Which song was Petri's 2nd?

[57world57]

@melodicdeath1212 , song's called "die" off til death unites us album, it's not very popular vid im not sure if youl find it on youtube

[SanDisk4GB4]

hey guys whats the second song Alexi is playing?

[odiokgsaar]

alexi!

[lanikoBFMV]

PETRI!!

[tommy10293847]

Ive gotta say i like Petri better...dont get me wrong, i love Alexi's stuff but Petri is more my style. Also i preffer Petri in Ensiferum rather than Norther...

[YamiTenshi666]

To me both of them are GODS :D

[Agnes135]

Jari Maenpaa wins lol....

[Nkulgj]

Alexi's solos aren't the bests, and cut in their middle....

So Petri looks 2 or 3 % of my god

[EnsiferumFan91]

as gd as each other Petri and Alexi are gd friends they probs exchange riffs with one another

[Neltharonus]

Alexi...go on!!!!!

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

OMFG, why in the HELL you write with Fing sharpie all over a $1300 guitar is beyond me. STUPID. Maybe you dont spend any time whatsoever playing. With some "work" done...... WTF?!?!?! Send it to me, I'll refinish it and send you my RR3, you wouldn't notice the difference in the necks anyways. Maybe you'd just go for a dry erase board with a fretboard on it.

[57world57]

i did that to make you write the comment you just wrote

:)

[Formutha]

@57world57 That is a terrible reason to write on an Alexi.....My Alexi is clean and if i do anything to it I'm making sure a professional does it.

[57world57]

@Formutha

was dry erase, did to make ppl like you comment. ;)

[wojtass102]

kissing the shadows best !! alexi much better than petri

[Raithorna]

I love both Ensiferum and Norther, but Norther with Aleksi Sihvonen is better than it was with Perti. Still I like Ensiferum more xD

And I like when Laiho is playing, but I think Norther is better than COB

[banag11]

both AWSOME!!!

[DantonTheWerewolf]

What about Heathen Throne? I mean, come on!

[melodeath95]

Heathon Throne has NO solo

[DantonTheWerewolf]

......You're kidding me, right? Try listening from about 6:00 on -_-

[linusII]

I think... both are gods.

Personnaly I find Laiho best at guitar

Petri best on vocals.

[Renathoth]

I agree

[BuryMeDown]

@linusII you r right

[Chowfernow]

LAIHO FTW

[maggot3000]

Petri is a much better vocalist then Alexi, much more clearer

[NWOBHM1777]

@maggot3000 dude its heavy metal

[maggot3000]

@NWOBHM1777 Of course, nothing wrong with harsh vocals, but sometimes you need a translator to tell what the hell Laiho says instead of "yaow yaow" all the time

[555KoRnKid555]

I like them both and both Guitar GODS!!! but personally Petri wins it

[warstein]

Norther, Children of Bodom, Blackguard, Kalmah and Insomnium are the best bands EVER!

PETRI OWN!

[Nocrob1]

old alexi>petri>nowdays alexi

[AlexRoss14]

Jari Maenpaa > Alexi Laiho > Petri Lindroos

[LilMetalFan]

both of them rock

[rockettqueen666]

I agree

both are awesome

[SuperSmashbros111]

To hard to say. They both rock

[1996jonson]

petri 10000 times better \m/

[xxaddooxx]

Alexi is definitely much better and more creative music is better not to say that Petri was not good but Alexi is far better

[JoekChannel]

petri wins. Think about it, he was tought by Jari Maenpaa XD

[ringostarr2007]

@JoekChannel bahahahaha and Jari is on a whole other level of epicness! xD

[LaMagra70]

Petri's not that creative with guitar but yeah, sounds better to me.

[belial07]

petri is a better,

[SirRoger007]

Solos sind von Alexi geiler aber der rest Petri :)

[SyNyStErVaLeNtine247]

Alexi's a better guitarist, Petri's a better singer.

love both guys and their bands <3

[kikiolee]

they're both pretty badass

[creep2112]

its pretty obvious alexi is genrally a better shredder then petri, but petri does have good solos, his songwriting is generally more creative than alexi though.

[bdominationx]

i saw bodom live and i have to say that im goin laiho on this. He's my favorite guitarist out there

[druidofdeath11]

LMFAO

Why did you color your pick guard? It looks like SHIT now! LOL you dumbass.

[Clayton1545]

They are both AMAZING guitarists but the bottom line is that Jeff Loomis of Nevermore would bend both of them over in a heartbeat.

[WhyBoysHasNipples]

Vocals: Petri

Guitar (skill): Alexi

Guitar (melodic): Petri

Band: Ensiferum

Children Of Bodom, Ensiferum, Norther are the best things on Earth anyway!!

[druidofdeath11]

@WhyBoysHasNipples

Minus from Norther, yes Bodom and Ensiferum are my two favourite bands.

Cheers from Canada.

[freidian]

@WhyBoysHasNipples You name makes a point...? Ive always wondered about that too... :D

[Adicone16040]

@WhyBoysHasNipples u forgot wintersun.

[Finniej]

@WhyBoysHasNipples This is the best comment on youtube ever.

[meowmastr123]

SOng at 1:59 any1?

[troghin]

What the name of the song at 1:59 ? Please reply!!!

[cobhc030]

I have seen Bodom 4 times live and Ensiferum once, and im going with alexi hands down. I love petri and everything, even met him afterwards and got an autograph, but he seemed sloppy to me when he soloed on stage. I think seeing them both live gives you a better understanding. Both are kickass at guitar, but Alexi is better

[gorodeckii007]

I like Norther more than Children Of Bodom. Petri's solos are more melodic, but Aleksi plays faster. As I think, Aleksi can't compose such beautiful solo as in Of Darkness And Light, for example. So finally, Petri is the winner.

[MadCrow999]

PETRI!!!!

[jimyeatword]

Alexi Is Best In Guitar Our Vocals Pettri Is Best.

[porretademente]

the tow are gods

[Metalflamme]

Petri wins no problem.

[Rockgod451]

alright i'll lay it down striaght. Petri is infinitely better on vocals. and IN MY OPINION (unless i'm not allowed to have one anymore) better on guitar too. i play so i kno. its more than just bein fast. you have to have melody and harmony. otherwise it really is just noise. 1:59 is good though i will give Alexi that.

[indicaskunkbudz]

@Rockgod451

however you can't deny that Aleksi has far greater technical skill while Petri might be the better overall guitarist

[moe5512]

Petri: Great Voice, good guitar skills

Alexi: Crap Voice, Fuckin Great guitar skills

[ImpaleEmos]

Petri: Great Voice, Great guitar skills

Alexi: can um... well he can play fast I guess

PETRI WINS

[EternalApostasy]

naw man I have to Disagree heres how I see it

Vocals- Petri wins by a mile

Solo - Alexi wins

General Riff - again gotta give it to alexy but only by a little bit

Song writing compositon - Goes to Petri easily.

both are gods both rape in their own way

[Daemonfury1]

lmao if you think Petri is better you simple know nothing about guitar. Alexi is multiple times better.

[vinsk8er4life]

Petri is better in my opinion.

For one his vocals can actually be heard :P

I cannot really say much alexi.. his guitar play is SICK and i haven't seen COB live.. unfortunatly :(

I have seen ensiferum a couple of times and they rocked!

[melodeath793]

PETRI

[morph611]

Its pretty close here. Petri is still the better vocalist though.

[JacksonRR1usa]

What's the name of the song at the very beginning?

[Alex25CoB]

death unlimited, from the album death unlimited

[skkull1]

petri

[ShredmasteRsl3]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

u guys are joking right!!

wow how can u compare THE Alexi "Wildchild" LAiho to Petri, sure he's ok to a point, but Alexi Laiho is just a master. Petri wishes he could be close to even touching Laiho's work.

shows how much people know about guitar.

[boxofcookies]

Petri

[candyman3]

petri :D

[HaldirOfLorien]

Petri.

[holysmoke0]

Petri is the best... I like Alexi, but... no way :P

[Billerd21]

I think it's a tie

[fabianofbodomacdc]

laiho o lindross very hard but i prefer laiho!

[thetoobnoob]

What's the first Alexi solo from?

[57world57]

hellhounds on my trail

[skolanbrinner]

Petri

[SSE94]

!!!

[57world57]

yep >:)

[Dazsturbed]

WHY?

[57world57]

i was gonna sell it to a friend, and to scare the shit out of him, i took some dry erase markers, and drew all over it before i gave it to him

[creation23]

Alexi wins!

By the way, 57world57, you ruined rhe alexi 600! whats with the random squiggles!

[57world57]

i was sellling it, they were dry erase markers and i got SO bored one day.

[BoDoMbChTrR7]

what no bodom beach terror solo?! WHAT THE HELL? lol

[lanikoBFMV]

petri!!!!

[schwarg]

they're both good but Jari Maenpaa is the king of Finnish guitar shredding.

[UndeadishProductions]

rofl

[Retchazoz]

No Ensiferum solo's..?

[Retchazoz]

Petri is amazing at guitar, not as good as Alexi though, Petri has way better vocals though.

[belial07]

es mejor , petri uno de los mejores vocales y gitarristas del puto mundo, yeah

[999dod999]

the winner issssssss *drum roll* .... Muhammed

haha.

[57world57]

muhammed does pwn both of these fags, but i hate his vocals

[999dod999]

they are repetitive but meh

[rotsenon]

hahaha :D

[KIRAyagami610]

i love petri, and alexi, but alexi is better at soloing. Petri is a great guitarist, but one thing for sure is he owns alexi in vocals

[COBHCfan83]

they are both great but alexi is better :) as usual ^^

[lahnaclannb]

both good, but alexi wins!

[sgklaeb]

Alexi ^^

[aleks1991]

Their both GODS!

[jos12111993]

they are both awesome!!!

[betoneto666]

el lindroos esta chilo pero los del alexi tienen un poco mas de imaginacion....

[happilemon]

I much prefer Alexi's solos and general compositions..I do love Ensiferum though and Petri is definately talented.

[gowilko]

Alexi is better no doubt, Although i like all Norther, Ensiferum, Bodom and Wintersun, Petri is awesome still tho.

[Gtrplyr1]

Id day neither. Jeff Loomis (the seven string Shredder) all the way!!

[MrBildslash]

gustos

[vazgos]

alexi es bueno... pero ppetri es mejor!!!...

cuestio nde gustos, pero los dos son muy riatas, aunq me late mas el estilo de petri.

[blithe66x]

I like Ensiferum more than Norther, but both kicks ass. COB ~ Norther.

Laiho is imo better guitarist, but Petri is awesome too.

COB, Norther & ENSIFERUM!

[bIackshade]

I fucking agree with u! Alexi is my idol!
