  • I think alexi's was way better back in the day...he didn't fuck up as much as he does now. But don't get me wrong I'm not hating, cob is my favorite band :D

  • very shitty dive bomb after the solo

  • @TheNightmareA7X its not a dive bomb its only a hormonic he picked and let it ring...

  • Follow the Reaper = best CoB album

    love all CoBs stuff though, i dont dislike ANY of their songs, Hatebreeder and Something Wild are one of my favorites too

  • @Leichestein hell yes

  • no homo, but I think Alexi was cooler looking without all the tattoos! but I must agree with whoever said... Follow the Reaper was a GREAT album and albums from those times are most memorable.

  • I am so sad. This is Children of Bodom at their prime. After Alexi lost his Jackson's and Alexander left, I think Children of Bodom got sloppy. Their live performances since Alexi broke his wrist during Are You Dead Yet? have slowly declined after each bone break and their aging. The new albums are fantastic but they aren't the same as Hatebreeder or Follow The Reaper.

  • Multiorgasm.....

  • NO FUCKING WAY! HE PLAYS JACKSON GUITARS! I just shat my Pants.

  • @xbox360ftw123 He used to be endorsed by them. Now he plays ESP guitars and has multiple signature models.

  • @Milesbakerforguitar im not suprised he plays esps now, the way he uses that fuckin temelo he had to switch cause jacksons have the shittys model of a floyd rose ever, unless he had a real one put in it, which i doubt.

  • @ajdrake02

    His Jacksons were custom shops. Jackson didn't have any 24fret Rhoadses as series model back then.

    If they had anything else than an OFR (which I doubt), they did, because Alexi speced'em that way.

    Pretty much all USA Jacksons come with OFRs stock.

  • @ajdrake02 Jackson tremolo on a custom shop instrument? doubt it fucktard.

  • who cares if there are better guitarists than alexi i mean you are listening to him still and look at green day for exampe,there music is easy as hell and it still sounds good so just stfu

  • 103764 PPPPPPEOPLE HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND ONLY 339 HAVE VOTE??? LAZY IDIOTS... I'TS SO HARD TO MOVE YOUR MOUSES AND PRESS A FUCKING BUTTON??? AH??

  • Shirtless Alexi and Henkka! haha anyways this song is fuckin awesome!

  • Bodoms got Seoul lol

  • omfg this is fkn amazing!!!

  • dude...finnish metal bands are epic

  • bodom after midnight, bodom after midnight yeee-ah!

  • 0:00 - 3:38 mega orgasm

  • 2:13 orgasm

  • Definitely one of the best guitarists ever to walk the face of the earth.

  • BODOM after midnignt, BODOM after midnight YEEAAAAAAA!!!!

  • \m/ love the \m/

  • alexi is GODDDDD

  • So what if vai has been doing guitar 20 years more than alexi, raw talent can be more important than experiance..

  • Comment removed

  • Hendrix was sick, Vai's a master, but I like Alexi because he's got great melodic sense. The solo from Everytime I Die is fucking gorgeous. My favourites are Frank Zappa and Jari Maenpaa though.

  • I've been studying guitar players my whole life.

    Hendrix's image is so huge, every kid knows him and wants to be like him when they first pick up a guitar. Not because he was a great player, but because he's an iconic figure.

    I first heard Children of Bodom a few months ago, and I have to say Alexi Laiho is one of the best, if not THE best I have ever heard. So many master guitar players have failed to make music in bands. Alexi FRONTS one, and plays a million tasteful notes at the same time.

  • hendrix is amazing because what he did at that time was a so revolutionary. same goes for clapton. yeah they stuck to pentatonic scales but we need to remember that it was still the 60's. kids who find out about these guys today dont realize that, same goes for all the haters

  • and many guitarists have said that alexi is the best. incl. kirk hammet, john petrucci

  • Can I get the articles or videos where these guys said that? I wanna save it, print it, and put it to a poster on my wall! Seriously!!!!

  • it should be on wiki

  • @Bigfishlittlepond jari maeneppa - good call!!! i preffer alexi cos his small mistakes give me a kinda half hope i might one day be as beastly as he is lmao!!!

  • @Bigfishlittlepond

    Whoo Jari Maenpaa Right on bro.

  • @Bigfishlittlepond fuck yeah! jari is God

  • whats with all these goddamn bodom haters? Christ, just shut the fuck up.

  • Alexi Laiho is probably the best guitarist ever. Only Stevie Ray Vaughn comes close. The solo in Mask of Sanity is nuts. The transitions in this song are crazy good.

  • Laiho and SRV beat the hell out of those guys. Hendrix is good, angus is mediocre, and van halen is a fag.

  • laiho is a exelent guitarist but,

    Are you kidding?. Van Halen reinvented how to play guitar. even if you ask laiho what he think about Van Halen probably the same will say that van halen is one of his biggest influences. laiho uses much the tapping. and who invented tapping?? exactly was Van Halen.

    sorry about my english.

  • idk dude. His Style is terrible. I guess David Lee Roth's vocals just kill the whole band to me.

  • I really don't think Van Halen invented tapping. He probably was the first one to show it and was known enough to get it known, but that he was the first to do it goes beyond my belief.

    Laiho doesn't use much tapping, only tiny, TINY bits.

  • technical ability wise, alexi would take a very large crap on those guys

  • Herman Ri would follow. not because he would be better, i don't like him, but because he naturally enjoys shitting on things.

  • come on guy, everybody has his/her favorite^^

  • hey mate, Jimi hendrix is dead, angus young is repetetive as fuck with his chords and whos heard anything about van halen for a while? besides, even if jimi was alive Alexi still shits on him

  • ok now im pissed off YOU DONT FUCKING COMPARE THE KING OF BLUESY CLASSIC ROCK TO THE FUCKING GOD OF MELODIC METAL ESPECIALLY IF ONE DIED WHEN HE WAS 27 !

  • quit freaking out. what are you, 11?

  • Well atleast you spelled Yngwie's name right, Stevie Vai hahahaha, atleast spell the names right of the artists you are saying are better, yeah they are better at classical / rock but when it comes to performance and style alexi shits on them, not to mention Yngwie is an egotistical prick, fuck him

  • Dude Yngwie would shit diarrea at Alexi. I like COB I've seen them live 2 times, Alexi is a great musican but he isn't better than Yngwie is far more technical than Alexi. And all you faggots that think Herman Lii is good go back playing Guitar hero and you're mainstream shit!

  • 1st children of bodom is in guitar hero 5 2nd not because you dont like a guitarist that he cant play 3rd children of bodom is almost the most maintream metal band at the momment stop crying douche bag

  • LOOOOOOOOL ledkenji most mainstream metal band?????? look at metallica for example. theyr in commercials and have their own game. i love metallica though. and mainstream doesnt mean shit. metallica has the biggest influence on metal

  • Sorry the biggest Influence on metal is far and away black sabbath...

  • Typical metallica fan...

  • typical faggot

  • Haha, thank you for further proving my point.

    "pissing ppl off is my favorite hobby"

    Haha dude you're so cool.

  • ur  still a fag

  • You dream about having a three-way with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich.

    And you say I'M the fag?

  • lmao

  • @MentulInfestashun

    maybe it's a chick...?

  • Lol none of the bands I know of cite Metallica or ACDC as influences...interesting IMO...

  • alexi can play anything yngwie can dude once you hit that level of godmode there really isnt anything you cant do....plus alexi sings...yngwies just fat....oh god who called herman li good? bwahahaha herman lee is the aids of metal....im a big fan of yngwie but i vote alexi on this one...and fuckin devin townsend rapes steve vai IMO

  • Herman Li= Aids of metal LOL!!! I love you man! But yes, I have checked the tabs, Alexi is basically a continuation of Yngwie Malmsteen. Almost like Malmsteen reborn! He can play anything Malmsteen can faster and cleaner(Or could lol...) No matter how you look at it that is the cold hard facts. But if their wasn't a Yngwie malmsteen, their wouldn't be a Alexi Laiho or many many other big names today! Malmsteen FTW!!!

  • i agree 100% with ya man!!! lol

    i luv you teeeew!!! XD

  • Not really. Cold hard fact is that Malmsteen is technically far superior to Alexi. His solos are actually harder to play than those of Alexi and Alexi can get sloppy when he's playin live. But I personally prefer COB's music over Malmsteen anyday. And that's what counts,right? After all,it's music and it won't necessary get better with super - mega - ultra technical solos.

  • yeah man ........ u got it nailed

  • COB realy should play Jacksons again, they're so much nicer to look at

  • Laiho and Wirman, there is the 2 GOD DAMN SCIENTIST'S of DEATH METAL! XD and this is one of the best Formula's they've come up with!

  • WIRMAN??? WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?

  • ? Are you being sarcastic? Hoping you are. Cause you can't know nothing about C.O.B. If you don't know him. Wirman = Keyboards God Yiiiah

  • Yes I was being sarcastic. I never seen it spelled wirman but then again ive also seen "warman" and warmen". Crazy shit

  • Warmen is a sideband of Wirman's, they have crazy music too. He got joined in C.O.B. in 1998 I think... uh he was like a visitor for their album but got tangled up and joined it permanently. by his own free will, more or less

    + I knew you were joking. These two guys have been in duels since 1999 and you can't be a least bit interested in Laiho If you don't know Wirman. X)

  • Thanks for the history lesson dude but janne was there when they produced Something Wild in 97. Been a fan since 10th grade in 02

  • Just dug out my CD covers and in all of them they say Warman.

  • ok yeah that is his nickname. He's Janne "Warman" Wirman, born -79. and I only have their Blooddrunk album, btw I WAS OFF BY ONE YEAR!

    give a guy a break will ya? jeez

  • Pwnt

  • @ETERNALH8 : Wirman is Jannes real surname

  • i don't know why cob have so few people at their concerts...

  • also the intro you here in the beggining is the intro you'll here in living dead beat in the album are you dead yet..?

  • this is liek one of cob's best songs from the follow the reaper album back in 2003 its always awesome to see this song live when they play it

  • Awsome song! Best of CoB

  • raw.

  • i'm pretty sure you can't, it was a one time television broadcast

  • you cant dude.maybe if somebody has it recorded.but your just going to have to compile it from youtube.

  • FUCK YES FUCKIN AWESOME BAND

  • Im probably gooing to get a bunch of hate mail.... But i think that COB is better off without alexander. Roope just seems to fit better with COB in my opinion

    Alexander is a great guitarist, one of the best ive heard, but think about where Bodom would be if he hadnt have left

    BTW, Great video

  • Yep, I love Roope. He's a fucking amazing guitarist

  • Children of Bodom the best of the bests :D <3 aint never gonna be anyone better then u guys CoB 4 life <33

  • alexander looks like a bear! :D

  • a bear??? XD how??

  • awesome!!! i would like children of bodom in Croatia!!!

  • Alexis hair was awesome at this time.

  • ya and jannes hair sucked

  • fucking amazing!!!

  • how is the movie could that alexi snapped the interlude before solo??

  • Alexi Laiho *_* <3

  • Alexi is a freaking genius <3 :D \m/

  • BEST FUCKING METAL!!!!!

  • They just kick asses!!only this..

  • COB!!!!

  • maybe first or firs two tones are failng

  • i love this song

  • yea hate crew deathroll was awesome in stockholm knock out live

  • Tuska!!!

  • i wonder if jackson had built him his guitar faster and he had a choice between esp and jackson, whitch one he would of taken

  • i expect jackson as ESP had to make it with a bigger bottom horn which looks weird imo and he used jackson for long before esp so he may have been loyal, but only alexi coulda answered that

  • they wouldn't, since it's jacksons design.

  • the guitar by esp that alexi actually uses is almost identical in shape to the jackson, its maybe just a little bigger. the alexi LTD sigs (200 and 600) which are made in america are the ones with the noticeably bigger bottom horn for copywrite reasons.

  • that would be a tough choice,they're both incredible companies as i have a guitar from each,ESP has taken the lead now though,they're craftsmanship seems to be blowing away jackson now,plus ESP has a bigger backing crowd now,honestly the next guitar im buying is a ESP/LTD for sure

  • ESPvsjackson

  • All Live shows of COB are the best.

  • bodom after midnight is awesome live the keyboard solo is just awesome!!!!what is the best live show of children of bodom?

  • I would Say Hate Crew Deathroll In Stockholm.. Soo nice!

  • they are fucking awesome wtf!!!!!!

  • onece upon a time children of bodom came and kicked ass and they never will die the end

  • the keyboard is so awesome in this song

  • Heja finland

  • Comment removed

  • im with ykzeir cuz bodom is the best band i know that is still kickass that play the keyboard so well and that are kickass live and on cd

  • Slipknot, Children of bodom, In Flames, Atreyu and Korn are definitely the best bands ever

  • I can definitely agree on Bodom, In Flames are awesome, too, but the rest... mmm, nah, not all that great. Especially fucking Atreyu.

  • @ Ykzier I respect thou opinion ;) we all like different stuff...

    its really crazy how some people start saying this "slipknot sucks" and then a whole argument starts... i would understand if it was about a rap artist but...

  • Oh, well, I actually wasn't ever trying to hate on Slipknot. I find absolutely nothing wrong with them, but I find it to be near fact that Bodom are more interesting than Slipknot.

  • yh i never thought that i was just giving an example ;)

  • Right, right, I see.

  • I like listening Children of Bodom !!!

  • this is the first time i have heard the r all right but not better then slipknot that is just my opinion

  • your opinion sucks. Children Of Bodom are way more talented than slipknot

  • slipknot is just more heavy and just isnt it

  • yea seriously, slipknot is really not a good band. if you listen to this band long enough you'll learn that

  • i listen to slipknot all the time for me it doesnt get boring and if u think this is better then u need to get your head checked cause i think it is on wrong

  • slipknot has no talent that bands a piece of shit, sorry

  • dude slipknot is so awesome they started nu metal with korn in 1993 when korn was just metal then they sat down and talk about it and then it is nu metal u have to give them credit for that

  • Seriously? Bodom has written the most creative melodies I've ever heard, which never bores me. If you think Bodom is boring compared to Slipknot, you must be fucked in the head.

  • Having that comment coming from a guy with pretty fucked up English skills, I can't take you seriously.

  • And btw guitarguy424... you are sick in the fkin brain... slipknot is awesome.. but saying this is shit... man WTF?!?!?

    but i respect your opinion :P

    still dont start commenting hate comments just dont listen to this...

  • I agree. Shitknot sucks

  • You dont need to be talented to play nu metal however you do need to be to play what Alexi is and the rest of bodom are.

  • I don't think you need to know music theory to play Nu Metal.

  • Comment removed

  • Bodom are actualy heavier then Slipknot, but bodom have molodies that make it sound lighter.

  • if its lighter then its not heavier think about that slipknot is heavier
