Me and my buddies used to watch this in the early days of TH-cam and try and play these licks. Alexi is a legend. RIP. You'll always be one of the greats.
Those fucking licks are impossible. I just tried to play only the second melody lick 2h straight and cant even do it half of the speed that it is in the video. Alexi really was the greatest guitarist ever. Rest In Peace.
Haha from 2003-2006 i was constantly trying to learn this to play live in our band, Bodom got most all of us into metal from generic thrash stuff as kids I went onto different black/death bands and hadn't listened to Bodom in over a decade, and got back into it after alexi died sadly haha I'm just glad i got to meet his drunk ass at the house of blues LA in '05, when we gave a jump start to Amon Amarths broken down van haha
this, and wondering how the hell they are making a violin sounds with a guitar. I'm still wondering that, but it's probably a playback and actual guitar sound is little low.
The love Alexi had for classical/baroque music was so evident in the first two albums, masterpieces. I saw them live in Rome with In Flames, Arch Enemy and Dark Tranquillity. Best concert of my life.
RIP Alexi. Lost my two biggest guitar heroes pretty close together. Eddie Van Halen who inspired me to pick up the guitar, and Alexi Laiho, who inspired me to play it.
Laiho was the genius. But this is what happens if you are the genius, but you don't know when your body has enough and needs some rest. Do you think that he was one of the best guitar players cause he did nothing? No, he worked hard, too hard. And then, when he was famous, he did too many gigs. Never stopped. Work, work, work... And it cost him his health and he tried to fix the psychic exhaustion with alcohol. All the bad decisions until it was too late. Lets take a learning.
Yeah he was unreal!!!!!!!! The best by far!!!!! Never seen any guitarist like him live… I’ve seen thousands of the best… He stands out above them all… The coolest mf guitar player songwriter frontman any band could ever have asked for!!! Tuska Open air 2003!!!! That show blew my mind and I knew back in 2007 when I saw it the first time that I will never see anything that comes close..
@@pieterjansenvanrensburg7322 Dont know who the thousands were to say he was the best to that degree is such an over estimate to start with how many solo albums did he have
I was blindsided by his passing as I am sure many were....I still can't believe this legend is gone. I met him once about 20 years ago outside his tourbus. They opened for Dimmu Borgir on this tour. Very nice and respectful to me. RIP ALEXI!!!
Kids today won't get to experience Children Of Bodom as "new music" & that kinda blows. I remember hearing "Mask Of Sanity" back in '06; CoB was ne of the first real "death metal" bands I got into. I remember listening to Hate Crew Deathroll when it was only half a year old. Takes me back quite a few years.
I was looking for this song on Spotify, but didn't find it so I came here to find out that he died :( This amazing piece of art helped me fight depression when I was a teenager. Rest in peace!
So glad I got to see children of bodom. They were well known when I saw them but it was a small show, like 200 people max. I remember 2 younger kids there that were around 12 or 13. Having the time of their lives, they knew everything about him they were obviously huge fans.
I was lucky enough to see him play live. And when he left I felt that a part of my story left with him. I hope you are resting in peace, while your music lives on among the living.
Not this channels fault, but the camera ignores Rappala 90% of the time. Alexi even says at the start. "Watch Rappala do his thing". Cameraman: Wut? Both played together in Sinergy too.
@@epiczeven6378 yeahp!! I love how there seems to be like a few years between them all so the sound slightly changes and the bass playing is super underrated in it also!! I freakin LOVE sinergy!! Im so glad other people do too! We gotta show EVERYONE!!😁😁🤘🤘
@@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870 Yeah, Marco ex-Nightwish, is a killer bass player, and wrote written in stone, and did some vocals aswel. Thats why it's fy favorite from sinergy :)
@@epiczeven6378 yeah! Marco heitala right? I think lauri paura did one with them too! I love the tune where all 3 of them sing!! Theres not many albums i can listen to without having to skip at least 1 song but all 3 sinergy cds i can listen to start to finish! I cant even do that with all CoB!! Most of them i can tho!😁
I remember myself watching this video during my early guitar learning days, But to this day I still don’t know how did he make that violin 🎻 sound with his 🎸 Did he use the old BOSS GR20 pedal for the violin sound ??????
@@gauravlama2079 I know what you mean, I remember classmates in high school saying that he had a “violin distortion.” I’m almost sure they just used a violin backing track that harmonized in unison with the guitars.
I just searched for this after watching a video of Colin Furze.... a few seconds of this composition in another version played during his video... immediately it reminded me of this lesson.... and after a few searches i found it.... i loved listening to this again and again... Alexi you will be missed...
Yeah, I used to watch this video religiously after school when I was in high school and I see from the comments on this upload that I wasn’t the only one.
Learning to play guitar, came across his guitar worlds demo biting the box of DR strings promoting them. Loser I thought. Then I watched "betcha can't play this" fucking blown away. Then TH-cam search him and find this, dedicated myself and played along this video 100s of times. He and COB have remained my favorite guitarist and band. He was a legend
Are you Freaking kidding me ALEXI LAIHO Stands alone when it comes to shredding ,let alone this is Classical Masterpiece okay but Yngwie WHO !!!! ALEXI DAM YOU ARE MISSED (RIP)
Me and my buddies used to watch this in the early days of TH-cam and try and play these licks. Alexi is a legend. RIP. You'll always be one of the greats.
Same!

What do u mean RIP??
Alexi Laiho passed away...RIP
i was introduced to this by my buddy that turned into my husband
I remember being a kid and watching this over and over
Haha from 2003-2006 i was constantly trying to learn this to play live in our band, Bodom got most all of us into metal from generic thrash stuff as kids
I went onto different black/death bands and hadn't listened to Bodom in over a decade, and got back into it after alexi died sadly haha

Who else just keeps coming back to enjoy this?
At least every summer.
Have a nice sunny day YOU ALL 🇫🇮🌞 HYVÄÄ KESÄÄ KAIKILLE!
real musicians playing real composers...
Good words 👈👌💥….. 🤪🤟

Got to give it up while u can
R.I.P. Alexi you’ll always be the best guitarist that ever existed. At least that’s my opinion.
One of the best I would say, just fall about that news recently :'l
He truly was... I hate what his bandmates did to him in the end and how they're now milking his image like vultures.
Yeah he was unreal!!!!!!!! The best by far!!!!!

Same, met in 2004 for the first time in Rome at a metal festival.
Amazing show and musicians wow! it was incredible... Alexi was a Real Boss. R.i.P.

so true, I remember all Metal Magazines trying to give their music a genre.... it was funny but proved their style to be individual
RIP brother, you left your mark on heavy metal music, and the made the world just that little bit better. 🙏
I was looking for this song on Spotify, but didn't find it so I came here to find out that he died :( This amazing piece of art helped me fight depression when I was a teenager. Rest in peace!
Vivaldi?
@@gringostarr69 Alexi Laiho, smart one
Actually Roope was way better in this...
So glad I got to see children of bodom. They were well known when I saw them but it was a small show, like 200 people max.

....and Roope you get yourself together and BE ALIVE AGAIN! Please.
Damn Alcohol

Niin upea kitaristi, miksi.., uskomaton, olet legenda..
i cant believe hes gone, i love this man, rip Alexi
Потрясно сыграно! 😏 Покойся с миром Алекси 🤘
Вечная память! Brilliant and passionate playing!

Both played together in Sinergy too.
Roope Latvala
Modern days Randy Rhoads
Killer with an axe in his hands
RIP!
best guitarist no doubt his melodic composition
Alexi was a great talent for sure! Thank you for all your contributions to guitar and metal Alexi!
Here are two good Finnish guitar players. Miss them both.
You were my friend when I didn’t have many Alexi.. I hope your influence helps us down here.

A great guitarrist from the new era R.I.P. 👊
Me and my friends covered this during college week. The crowd went wild as expected! RIP Alexi Laiho.
Great Antonio Vivaldi's summer cover!
Love to see Jackson in actions. The golden years.
Thank you Marcos, and thank you Alexi...
I would've liked to hear Roope a bit more.
Скорбим, помним. Хороший был гитарист. Умер рано, сделал много.
such a badass demo. the best demo ever. Love the dual hair flip at the end! Roope's guitar is one of the coolest ever
I miss ya bro! Thanks for everything you did. You will never be to gotten! 🤘
man hear roope he kicks ass... oh yeah alexi cool too... listen closely he flawless no pick scratch
Why does no one talk about roope latvala here? :(((

Fucking effortless these 2, im fighting for dear life trying to play 3 seconds of this
LEGEND. Roope as well! I'm so grateful I got to meet them
Doesn't even sound real it's so good

He was great, sometimes sloppy but always in your face.
RIP
This intro looks so erotic xD rip Legend.

Holy shit, finally a version with more than 4 pixels. Thanks!
Bravo...bravissimo...!
Kiitos sinulle sinne tähtiin, upeeta ♥ ♥ ♥

Holly crap
Alexi, your music was with me through so many good times and bad times. You are dearly missed!
RIP Alexi Laiho..

나보다 한 살 적은데 벌써 이 세상을 등졌다니
지금도 한창 활동을 해도 모자를게 없을텐데
영면하시길
Shit, this videos were like my church back in the day. We miss u Alexi.
Same bro, same.
Does anyone know the intro song?
Its a remixed version of Waltari's "Move" which is best know as "Passage to the reaper" from when these two legends played it.
Fast and sloouuw
Este Alexi tem um controle incrível da guitarra
Muito bom ele uma grande perda para a música mundial...
RIP :(
Soo clean
Are you Freaking kidding me ALEXI LAIHO Stands alone when it comes to shredding ,let alone this is Classical Masterpiece okay but Yngwie WHO !!!! ALEXI DAM YOU ARE MISSED (RIP)
Never got to see him live. RIP Wildchild
Add distortion to any classical music piece it becomes metal without any changes
Quel grand guitariste !
Une énorme perte pour le monde de la musique depuis sa mort, un grand monsieur de la musique métal
RIP Laiho 🤘
The guys have talent
Just when I thought I couldn't love Alexi any more, I see this vid of him Reaping with the Roland \M/ \M/
Stay Metal, homies!
How does roope get his violin sound? Or is it the backing track?
It's the backing track. Roope is actually really really quiet in the mix.
@@jeleopard cheers, have a great day!
When Roope plays by himself (at least, toward the end), I noticed how quiet he was.
It's a best cover, FOREVER!!
RIP((
I love he's musiciion, he was very lovely person.
🎶💖🔥🎸🔥💖🎵Rip, Alexi! \|/
such legends. literally footage from the early 2000s
They don't really got the groove for Baroque music.
Fiddle went down to goeogia lol
фреду не нравится фред знает
Back when roope was young and sober 😢
Alexi we miss you on this world, you'll rock heaven see ya' there
Hope Roope is doing well, he is just as good as Alexi.
A.L. was such a killer guitar player. RIP
The pick of destiny lol
What effect pedal is the guy on the right using to get the violin sound??
This is musical culture 👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant! I just wish their tone was cleaner, would sound better imo without all that distortion.
YESS👍👍
Aleksi on kone. Roope on kitara mestari soittaja number 1.
I guess alexi is playing this to angels now.
anyone know where to find tab/lesson video of this stuff ?
Wow.
1:28いきなりもう一人出てくるのやめてもろていい？
RIP to the homie
😭😭😭
RIP
I never liked children of the bodom but he was so talented
Im sure you like a lot of it, but some things about it you don't like.
I Miss him so much :(
If this is supposed to teach me something, it didn't work, but if it's about showing how good Alexi is, then this really did! RIP Wildchild!
