[GuitarStun]

i never knew that he tried to kill himself :O

[GuitarStun]

YAY! Trivium wristband \m/ ..hes so epic

[ouija93]

correction: - Alexi Laiho's Children of Bodom :)

[yerushalaimnehereset]

@shlooky1 +1 i've spoke with and its terrible every third word is "you know" :D:D:D

[neepathius]

he plays soo great when he's not drunk! EPIC!

[neepathius]

he's a cool dude, i can't believe how laid back he can be but in his music he's always pissed and full of hate, i wonder what happened to him in his earlier days poor guy. u gotta love him though

[Residentshade]

@neepathius He once tried to commit suicide, but he got safed by his friends, that gave him a more hatefull view of life.

[neepathius]

@Residentshade really? i thought something like that happened...

[Residentshade]

@neepathius ?? like what happened?

[CobrazVeNoMx]

@Residentshade Bodom had played a bad show in 98 and everything was out of wack, Alexi took 15 painkillers with whiskey to try and kill himself because he thought CoB was through. He was found and admitted to hospital where, luckily, he recovered.

[gokugokugoku2]

@CobrazVeNoMx

hmm.. no. Actually he got into a some kind of accident and hurt his arm. After that he thought he could never play guitar anymore and tried to kill himself. In some of his interviews he admits he's been a fucking idiot.

[WildKoolAid13]

@gokugokugoku2 no .

[shlooky1]

how many "you know" did he said during these 10 minutes?

[thegreat10ne]

he's saying all of the time "you know"...

[crungen5]

AND YOU KNOW YEAH ,YOU KNOW LIKE ,WELL YEAH ,BUT YOU KNOW WELL YEAH!!!!!!

[LOKOLOKO52]

i lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUU BEACHHH!!!!!

[Alez15666]

So... when you gonna start to play?

[korn56]

he says many things we already know...you know...

[frankitoxi]

You know..eemmm....You know, you know

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

idk if he's drunk or not warmed up...whatever he's not doin so hot in this video

[MrDillonB19]

@FLAMINGSTRINGZ could be nervous. playing perfectly on the spot is never a easy task

[charvelgibson766]

i just now noticed that he really over uses the phrase "ya know". lmao.. he's still one of the greatest shredders ever tho!! lol

[ryankuisti]

he seems happier back in the day before blood drunk and aydy.

[BellaChiara83]

Oh God.... Alexi´s the best!!!! What the fuck!!!! Make-up and nail-polish? Damm, that is not important, his music is important!!!!

[awetbandit]

@BellaChiara83 Don't get me wrong. He's verrrry pretty.....

Seriously though, I think his music is derivative. I've seen them a couple of times & try to listen to it every so often, but there's nothing there that hasn't been done a zillion times before. People have been doing this sort of thing for 30 years. Just my opinion......not that you asked for it.

[6Iron6Whore6]

@awetbandit well hes obviously doing something rite cause he won fastest shredder 2 years in a row

[awetbandit]

@6Iron6Whore6 "Won fastest shredder"?? How does one "win" something like that? Like, with a stop-watch? Most notes played in a half-second period? Sounds like a waste of time, don't you think?

[6Iron6Whore6]

@awetbandit hey dont bitch and moan at me i didnt give him the award dont be a prick dude hes famous for a reason and thats for being amazing at guitar so talk your shit about him wearing makeup but really dude if u cant see passed all of the shit that he decides to put on himself and cant see his true skill on guitar you honestly dont kno what the fuck ur talking about

[awetbandit]

@6Iron6Whore6 Take it easy. Sure he plays fast. That's great if you're still into that sort of thing. I'm just making fun of him taking the time to put on make-up & nail polish. I mean, come on, man. How vain can you get?

[6Iron6Whore6]

@awetbandit ha true

[Phailure365]

@awetbandit Actually the record for fastest playing in held by a guitarist from brazil

[xDimebladex]

@Phailure365 do youmean dela vega?

hell no^^

chek out dr. hotlicks, he played the bumblebees at 420 (:

[Phailure365]

@xDimebladex link? i searched but nothing came up

[xDimebladex]

@Phailure365 the videos is called "Universal Record Database Official World Record for Fastest Guitar Player In the World "

the end of the link /watch?v=RlXsEreNYyk&feature=c­hannel_video_title

I hope you enjoy it (:

[Phailure365]

@xDimebladex very cool, but it all honesty i think playing that fast crosses from insane, to stupid. he got so fast it didnt sound like music anymore. props for detication and practice, but music should remain music, not a sport. it is interesting though, thanks for the link

[BlazeOwl94]

@Phailure365

you're right, however if you think about it you see that many of their songs (COB) don't have speed as aim (badly expressed i know XD). in fact, their last album relentless reckless forever is composed of slow songs, so you can catch the melody inside them..personally, i'm trying to get that kind of speed and i'm sure that once i got it i can do all kind of songs..i hope you understood me, my english is not good XD

[Phailure365]

@BlazeOwl94 Speed is like a car. the purpose of a car is one more way to go from point A to point B. Speed is just another tool to be used for making music.

[awetbandit]

Is this man wearing make-up & nail polish?

[6Iron6Whore6]

@awetbandit are you going online asking dmbass questions?

[Formutha]

That guitar in his lap, i own that signature model.

[oleifangDK]

@Formutha You are luck then :-)

[Jnkeps]

Yeah,i actually know :-]

[cardsmn2]

Lol at alexi on fig 11 at the end he's just like yeah that wasn't hard to do it's as easy as quantum physics XD

[robertvdpoel]

you know, you know,you know,you know, so...you know,you know,you know,you know,you know, i did...you know,you know,you know,youuuuuuuh know,you know, still....you know,you know,you know,you know,you know,you know, so....yeah

[twinbladedfury]

[Pluss18]

[AlemTalic]

[taylorissuperflyman]

@yossarianXful then why are you wasting mine and your time watching and commenting this video.

[dbadgones]

@yossarianXful then fuck you to

[ISOLDMYLIFEONEBAY]

@yossarianXful and they dont care enough to hate you (:

[8636qwerty]

[whiplashrunaway69]

[milkterd1]

@yossarianXful

[mrsMannequeen]

I don't know why, but I like his voice while speaking. It's kinda sexy!

[NWOBHM1777]

[jony1710]

[ThexMetalxWithin]

omg i just counted and got 81.... try and see how many times alexi says "you know" in this video=)

[furiahmetal]

I counted 81 too

XDDD

[Kobkid11]

He's wearing a trivium wrist band.

[sh4d0wsn1p3r]

Yeah he is. All you people who put thumbs down are obviously blind. pause at 7:07 and you will clearly see it.

[gungwat]

i think alexi's sister got him into guitars, but i don't know who taught him. my guess his sister or he taught himself from watch a variety of bands

[Quitarr]

his sister got him into heavy music

[mzdzohn]

LOOOOOL !!! hahahahha

\r u serious : /

[Quitarr]

yeah

[oleifangDK]

@Quitarr I got my sister into it

[Reborn332]

@Quitarr god bless his sister then

[AnJuKn]

@gungwat He did take guitar lessons. His teacher was the one to tell him that you couldn't make money on heavy metal.

[gibbygibson666]

@gungwat

sister got him into metal

motley crue etc.

metal got him into guitar

as far as i know he taughthimself, however he did go to a music college for jazz, which would hav greatly helped his playing and style progress

[klauskarlkraus]

@gibbygibson666 first selftaught. but he has a degree in music. he has been to a finnish music college or something

[dysonator1]

@gungwat he went to music school or summat for 5 years :)

[theallmightyham]

Roope taught Alexi how to play actually.

[taylorissuperflyman]

@theallmightyham liessss lies lies

[theallmightyham]

Maybe not in the beginning, but he did give him lessons at some point. I'm sure of it.

[theallmightyham]

Sorry Bro, he started studying by himself then eventually studied at a music school. I haven't listened or read up on bodom in a long time. That was just a stupid rumor floating around.

[asabua]

@taylorissuperflyman

its not a lie, its true, roope was his tutor on guitar...

[fruitywheelz]

@taylorissuperflyman dude you know its true

[paintballer417]

@theallmightyham roope wasnt even with the band when they first started out

[theallmightyham]

@paintballer417 No he wasn't... I didn't say that, he was in synergy around the same time though. I was just caught up on an old rumor that was floating around, so i was misinformed, Take it easy, Children of Bodom fanboy's are SO touchy.

[paintballer417]

@theallmightyham i was just saying

[childrenofbodom1028]

@theallmightyham

dumbass

[theallmightyham]

@childrenofbodom1028 agreed. But that sir was out of bad taste... that information was floating around for awhile back in the day. I'm not a big fan of bodom anymore, and to be honest they aren't that unique... there are a lot of bands they sound like.

[takkubell]

@theallmightyham

actually no...alexi idolized rooope but roope never taught him shit....if u luk at their styles its totally different alexi has way more speed than roope...no disrespect to roooope ..he is a legend

[amounirl]

@theallmightyham He was influenced by Roope, but definitely wasn't taught by him. He learned violin first but when he got into metal he wanted to play guitar instead.

[theallmightyham]

@amounirl Ok, enough this was an OLDDD comment. Based on even older information, I know I was already corrected a million times. I've already made it clear, that I was given misleading information and based my comment on this information. Basically. I fucked up.

[comet752]

@theallmightyham Actually not exaclty Roope was alexis idol and roope made him want to play guitar

[Formutha]

@theallmightyham dude thats so much of a lie.

[theallmightyham]

@Formutha I already wen't over this a million times. I fucked up, my bad. I don't know why everyone is so hurt by this, I was given the wrong information thus leading to my comment. I honestly thought Roope TAUGHT Alexi, but apperently he was just influenced by him. It wasn't a lie, I just fucked up. I guess I was lied to, but I heard this back in the day before COB exploded.

[Formutha]

@theallmightyham itz okeedokee!

[theallmightyham]

@Formutha Thanks.

[skylord081]

@theallmightyham lol dude....how did you come up with that??

[CandyVrandy]

You know ;D

[fret13music]

he has such a way with words

[magizi]

The biggest question. Who taught alexi guitar??

[rockon3691]

i like this guitar better than his signature personally

[taylorissuperflyman]

that is his signature its just an older version of it

[Dustin7892]

@taylorissuperflyman Actually its a ESP signature instead of the LTD, which is why its different, not "older"...just thought id throw that out there.

[jweezy1711]

@taylorissuperflyman actually its just a different color scheme but the exact same guitar. so, not older at all

[morjhult666]

@rockon3691 it is his signature?

[ryankuisti]

@rockon3691 dumass

[matias7anriquez]

ALEXI USED TO BE A MORE HUMILD PERSON

[roe404]
