"Hi Alexi Laiho here for Children Of Bodom's album "Are you dead yet"

Is Alexi...a metal type billy mays?

[RavencoreLZR]

The shades are to cover his enormously enormous forehead...

[Kenman22]

He has a real good tone here. I know he's using his sign ESP but what Marshall head and cab does he have?

[BBOZ83]

@Kenman22 i bet they had that marshall there for him to use, look up emgtv alexi laiho in your face and listen to his actual tone, blows this away

[kingofthekaisers]

Alexi looks way to happy...

[trolior]

[brandoncarrier1]

[bagera93]

@brandoncarrier1

the sound alexi has is rather simple set up get yourself a good tube amp like peavy bandit 112 great bodom sound

[Tedst3r]

"are you dead yet? if not, buy the new album, are you dead yet?"

[Munitcher]

D tuning ... normally it's drop c .

[miguelde]

this is ridiculous,i think is playing with the marshall distortion n the all video is crap

[kashartist85]

I think he's an epic the way plays his riffs..The ppl that don't like him either don't know how to play like him or just can't be like him so keep your comments to yourself to the ppl that hate...

[3daysfighters]

@kashartist85 or they dont like the music? ever think of that.... he may be talented but that doesnt mean everyone will like him

[darkerium75]

the video lesson sucks

[236987451]

[Gibbs6415]

@Gibbs6415 @0:30

[WackenOtto]

Why do they always call these things "lessons"? I dont learn shit from these.

They just inspire me.

[NeverStopFilming]

@WackenOtto Your supposed to have the tabs that come with it if you pay for it lol

[666ilikepie]

@WackenOtto i totally agree after seeing these it makes me want to go and rip a brutal solo

[scrofascrofa]

fucking great tone

[MetalContentHigh]

I hope that one day my comp breaks and the downfall riff is played on a loop for eternity

[IwarnU1617]

hes so fucking raw he has the right to wear his own band shirt bitches! no other band player has that right!

[MrSpeedguitar]

Are You Dead Yet!!! Heeellll Yeeeaaah!!! xD

[mas111]

It is easier to notice all the awsome shit alexi puts in when you listen to these clips

[WildKoolAid13]

is it me or he plays downfall higher than the original ??

[alfrebame]

@WildKoolAid13

Yeah,he's en E tuning...normally he's in D(one step down)..i don't know why does he doesn't put it in D like always...

[alfrebame]

@WildKoolAid13

Yeah,he's in Drop D...(all the strings in standard,except the 6th,the 6th is in D(one step down)...i dont' know why he doesn't put his guitar in D or Drop C like always..

[WildKoolAid13]

@alfrebame ya.. idk , wierd.

[helios5868]

@alfrebame It might be because YG told him to for this vid so more people could follow.

[sk8b0ard3r]

lol accent

[crazylocoguitar]

he looks so much more bad ass with out his sunglasses

[metalbohne]

ive got this tshirt too

yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Artur440]

@willl923 Downfall

[SparkShredder]

living dead beat is kind of a sucky song! the keyboards make it better though....

[TheSugarFreedom]

When does Alexi ever use JCM2000's?

[SeanyFens]

Im getting his signature emg pickup right away here, I can't wait for it, I love that crisp raw tone of his.

[FuzzySnuggz]

Am I the only one who digs his tone? It's so raw and in your face.

[zachy5436]

@FuzzySnuggz naw man, i'd kill to have that tone... it's intense as hell, screw all the haters and nay-sayers. Alexi's the king dude.

[2shae1980]

@FuzzySnuggz yeh, it makes me remind the Kill'em All tone from metallica

[buddym29]

@FuzzySnuggz i think its becuase he used the same guitar for all the sogs and not all songs have the same tuning

[Timmonsec]

@FuzzySnuggz yeap youre the only one... hes so overrated...

[sXe170]

@FuzzySnuggz I see what you did there.

[lpgamer2]

@FuzzySnuggz dadadadada dadadada dada dadadadada dada dada dada

[MikFin95]

@FuzzySnuggz nope =)) I like it too

[6Vital6Remains6]

watch?v=oQ3oo27xE3U

[mattrockzful1]

hes the young guitar of this generation for sure

[kar98ksniper]

total waste of time.sorry guys

[nismoboy29]

Return to your crappy Fender anh Hugues and Kettners. Marshall amps rock, that's why so many guitar players use them.

[ProgressiveGuitarist]

A good guitar player doesn't blame his tone..Maybe if Alexi played and wrote his stuff with less distortion he'd get a better technique to play with other sounds as well.

[munchy040]

sounds pretty crappy riffs i mean

[zomgzomglawlawlawl]

his tone is bad because he's playing a marshall. if you've never owned a marshall, they dont sound good unless they're turned up!

[guitargodmister]

this is really bad...

[gruntaguitar]

lota negetive comments to this vid.......he is gettin a reaction....good or bad he gettin noticed yeahhhhhhh

[Xenochristt]

@gruntaguitar Hitler got a reaction too..

[Zeeeroou]

No it's not the same tone.. Listen downfall and then listen this third downfall lesson.. Not the same tone.

[hardrockreligioncom]

Absolutely, the one who doesn't like should change video and that's it, not everybody likes to see a transgrender playing the guitar, this is why Reb Beach or Doug Aldrich, or Judas Priest are so special, is about the music and the guitar and not about Lady Godiva. So I change video, but thank you for posting lessons, that is pretty cool.

[Jagguar20]

I actually like his tone.

[ShyteKreek46]

Hets lex fanchilbottom!!!!!!!

[deathgodMAN]

@Xenochristt

Well that is your opinion, the riffs dont sound the best on their own, because well they were not created to be played solo. They were created to be played as part of the song and they sound MUCH better in it then solo, and besides he normally plays kinda wasted and in this he was sober. DID NOT HELP AT ALL

[Xenochristt]

jesus these riffs are terrible. whenever he palm mutes I cringe

[ladydjdark]

@Xenochristt you don't like Alexi. We fans don't give a fuck! ALEXI IS THE BEST, and for us what you think is crap! Change video and don't write your bullshit here!

CoB 4 ever!!!

[cyanidde]

horrible

he plays very good but its a horrible music

[supadubadude]

@Shyuum

i really dont care, point is he just needs to stop fuckin writing all this bullshit about alexi, and to @Xenochristt just go check some of his other vids, hes not at his best in this one

[alexi13fucker]

i think that he has choosen his tone in order to see how clear his playing is!!!

[FraileTuck0]

are you dead yet? if not, you have to buy the new album. hahahahha

[Exponerad]

That is probably the worst guitar sound I've ever heard. Very good guitarist though.

[mrshotgun1234]

im 99% sure they are taking the sound directly from the head, not even putting it through an actual amplifier, which is why is sounds so bad. i also have a marshall which sounds really good normally, yet if i plug in headphones to play it sounds like this.

[Xenochristt]

HAY GUSY I R JKAMES HETFEILD

*downpicks furiously*

[Xenochristt]

also you guys are douches. sorry I didn't stab back at you guys so I figured I should edge that in.

[EDINSONDURAN]

ex 3 is de best...

[supadubadude]

hey Xenochristt why dont you just go put the dick back in your mouth so everyone doesnt have to hear you flap it about your bullshit guitar skills

[Shyuum]

@supadubadude

He is writing not talking you know lol.

[Xenochristt]

I think it's funny noone disputes the fact that this guy isn't clean, or the fact he's gay and paints his nails. or the snake tattoo. do you guys really care if I'm better than him? there's an equal chance that I am, or I'm not so that's not necessarily something to refute. however, this guy screams fucking GAY and I'm sure that his lame painted nails will get him a job playing session guitar with motley crue on a "sold out" tour of U.S. county fairs.

see you on VH1 in 10 years, faggot

[funnymonkey123456781]

yeah thats why he plays arenas and huge venues you jackoff. do us all a favor and stop thinking your "cool" and going into videos and just posting shit. btw ill look for YOU and the hall county fair in september okay? P.S: they dont allow fags on vh1

[Xenochristt]

it takes talent to appease the down syndrome ridden populous like you and get to arenas, doesn't it. I guess puddle of mudd is the epitome of talent.

they don't allow fags on vh1 eh? you seen anything on that channel? alexi would fit right in, just look at bret michaels. they're practically the same person.

btw I don't give a fuck why he got the tattoo, I just know that it's gay, just like everything associated with him. what about his painted nails? no excuse there. faggots.

[Killstreakers]

@Xenochristt

okay, so lets say that a boy paints something, does that make him gay?? hmmm NOT RLY

and if some1 gets a tattooo? that doesn't make them anymore gay u dumbass

[Xenochristt]

@Killstreakers no that doesn't necessarily make him gay, unless he gets a unicorn on his forehead tattooed, or paints his nails to stand out(but completely fails and just looks like a fucking 80's cock rock cutout). getting a unicorn tattooed on his forehead would be a step up from that dumb fucking snake.

also, who wears their own bands shirt? he's become that guy. tool to the fucking max.

[Theblackanpink]

@Xenochristt Well tbh i think he looks pretty awsome...

[MonkeyPowers]

@Xenochristt Im pretty sure that snake was his wedding band fuckhead. WHat fuck head wears their own Flag or their school ring/ T-shirt. So stfu just because you suck at life dosnt mean shit to us keep your stupid comments to youself.

I wear that SNake TAT and im proud , when im older i will reflect on how This great guy got me playing guitar for the rest of my life seven years ago.

[Xenochristt]

@MonkeyPowers when you're older, you're going to realize how big of a faggot you used to be(and probably still are). do you think douchefucks from the 80's look back on their poison-inspired hairdo and think "oh man, those were the times"?

no. and you'll eventually regret your uninspired copycat tattoo too. you know what else looks good as a wedding band? a wedding band. just sayin'.

[MonkeyPowers]

@Xenochristt first of all fag i dont have long hair. Next this "gay 80s long hair" gets him Laid alooot more then you ever would. And lastly ladies have liked long hair guys for a LOOOOOOONG time. So just because a guy knows how to take care of himself dosnt make him gay. oh and btw i wont regret shit since hey i will be a top of the pile Guitar player. I am alrdy an advance player who teaches whenever at the guitarshop for what 50.00 bucks an hour?

[Xenochristt]

@MonkeyPowers you clearly completely fucking missed the point I was trying to make you tard. what I meant was fads die out. this is a fad, as was the hairspray-laced poison look that I was trying to reference, but obviously went way above your head. if anyone has a problem with long hair it's definitely not me, I'll just say that much.

p.s. you know what prerequisites it takes to teach guitar at a shop? absolutely none. I've done it.

p.p.s if you're an 'advanced' player, I'm an astronaut :)

[MonkeyPowers]

@Xenochristt Hell and i even got an intership lined up after im done with college in a few months so again keep your retarded you suck at guitar and life comments to yourself.

[justkidding72]

lmao. Oh wow. Everyone this guy obviously knows what hes talking about. becuase obviously painted nails automatically makes you suck at guitar and makes you gay. And he isnt clean? what? You wish you could sing like, play guitar like and look like alexi laiho ahhahaa Yeaaa

[Xenochristt]

I don't plan to sing like a faggot and play run of the mill riffs. he isn't fucking clean, there are millions of guitarists that outshine this guy. he's seriously nothing special, and I bet 9/10ths of you retards are buying into this dude based on his image. your angst overcomes your music. kill yourself

[666MetalMatt]

Btw asshole.You need to read alittle.

The snake tattoo is a thing between his wife,they both have a snake on their ring finger rather than a ring.

And his singing is unique thats why people love it so much,same for his playing style.

You hate his music?get off the video and go back to listining to whatever you think is good.

[FinalFight323]

@666MetalMatt Holy shit are you misinformed.

1. Alexi has been divorced for five years.

2. His singing is NOT unique, and it's not that great anyway.

3. His soloing style and playing style are not unique.

4. CoB are a decent band, and Alexi is a talented shredder, but there are hundereds of FAR superior metal bands and guitarists out there.

You'll all grow out of your metal noob phase soon enough.

[Xenochristt]

finalfight323, you're my new best friend

[Killstreakers]

@FinalFight323

It's a matter of fucking opinion of what you can call a good band, face it. There's no ISN'T or IS good

[EVguitarsNW]

is it a Marshall JCM 900?

[Gabriopunk77]

JCM2000 DSL.

[metalbohne]

i have this t-shirt too

[apenhoofd2]

Eeeeh... No

[Xenochristt]

this is fucking terrible, this guy sucks fat dick

[joniiboy]

lets see you play something like that and sing at the same time, fucktard

[Xenochristt]

no problem, and I won't have to paint my nails to do it either. or get a faggot ass snake tattoo

[joniiboy]

of course, on youtube you can be whoever you want, oh and btw, i`m the king of norway :)

[Xenochristt]

I'd up a video but I wouldn't want your head to explode. my jams tend to do that to faggots that defend other faggots with shit tattoos/tone/personality/bands­, like alexi.

[l0b0man96]

just shut up and die.. i bet a fucking 100 bucks that u cant okay better than alexi u retarded piece of shit

[caskettheclown]

are you trolling? I like the Faceless as well but COB has got them beat.

[Xenochristt]

I don't think COB has much of anything on anyone. they are sloppy, repetitive, and the only people that jack off to em are people that just got off the tail end of a dream theater kick. have fun working at guitar center

[666MetalMatt]

dream theater meh,theyre music gets old fast,at least some of COB's older music is still always fun to listin to.

[phoenixanyway]

ALEXI rox....

[gianluigixxxx]

this guitarist is a fake

[metalbohne]

@gianluigixxxx shut up nigger

[Epicnessss]

haha 47; awkward!

[hotrod9983]

@Epicnessss lol...

[HastOsth]

Same tone as on record TRUST me, i own 2 COB producer ed cd´s where u can separe the tracks, and this tone is the EXACT same as he uses on the records... Why wont ppl listen to FACTS?

[Ermemel]

"i own 2 COB producer ed cd´s where u can separe the tracks"? how can i get that? o.O

[6Vital6Remains6]

@HastOsth You're talking out of your arse, buddy. This is the tone he uses on the albums. I don't even listen to Children Of Bodom and I know that.

[Shadowtjestalker]

@HastOsth I think it's because of the way it's recorded in this video.

[wannabeserpento99]

@HastOsth no way -.......-

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@HastOsth Fairly certain they have not released any producers edition cd's, upload one to your profile if you do.

[Kanittaja]

@HastOsth Because your facts are from subjective case. Which records do you mean, at least it's not even near the old material, whole different gear too. I suppose you can say it sounds the same but he doesn't use marshall amps regularly.

[alfrebame]

@HastOsth Asshole,that's only in the "Hate Crew Deathroll" album...and i'm sure that you won't have his sound even in 1000000000000000 years...

[patrickbateman7]

@HastOsth same TONE yes , same TONALITY ? no .. that is a riff from living dead beat which is in C minor ( and the guitar is in Drop C) this guitar is obviously not in drop c and he doesn't have a choice, they gave him an Alexi guitar tuned in E standard ( I can hear the 2 step difference) and that's why people are asking if it's different. :)

[riseagainstrul33]

@patrickbateman7 its in drop D, and yes he usually plays in drop c or d standard

[patrickbateman7]

@riseagainstrul33 true true true :D forgot about the last string :3 was focused on the rest, you are correct :) ... why on earth would they do that .. <=/

[alabel12345]

Tone is AWFULL

[LedKenji666]

theres a difference between a tone for playing alone and playing with ppl but he use his ''band'' tone even when he's alone and i also do that because with boosted mid you maybe sound less heavy but you hear the notes way better than with boosted bass and trebble

[razorslice17]

xD he would promote his album in a guitar world demonstration

[MagusGod]

Terrrrrrible tone. But good playing, so it's compensation. :D

[BomaMetalhead]

completely agree

[SNiPeZzzzZzz]

@MagusGod its always like that with young guitar... its sucks

[nafsnake]

i wouldnt say the tone is bad, the tone is only bad if it is unliked by the user. Guitar tone is what makes all players unike, his is his own

[MagusGod]

Alexi didn't choose this tone.

[HastOsth]

Yes he did, this is his studio tone for christ sake...

Listen to the album, the only difference is that on the album it sits in the mix! And is doubletracked probably even quad tracked.... That tone is sooo much alexi!

[MagusGod]

No, there is a super difference. This lacks a significant amount of reverb and the overall quality of it is terrible, why it MAY be a similar sound.

[3eviscerated]

Hes llike ugg when promoting the cd

[K1rkHammet]

Is this a song or...?
