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.
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.
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.
I am an old woman 73 year's old, I love Alexi's music and how 3:53 abilhe was, he was not proud, but he loved musik, and I have a feeling, that like'd the people, who was near by ham.
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!!!
I remember it was around 2005 that i watched that video and then i sat down and practiced for months to learn how to play this on my guitar. I could play some songs from their first 3-4 albums, i could play all Death songs, but this was quite different. I wanted to learn how to play like this guy. Alexi Laiho was my guitar hero. He and Chuck Schuldiner. They both inspired a generation of metal guitar players. RIP legends
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.
R.I.P Alexi I won't forget the children of bodom show in 2012 in tel aviv. I was listening to children everyday 24/7 for 2 years than you guys came and it was epic as hell. such an epic character. You influnced music and metal a lot, a Legend in your life and in your death.
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 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.
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.
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
@@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 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!
Played this for my high school music final way back in 2007. Alexi and CoB were nearly unheard of in the States back then, nevermind Synergy. Legends Never Die.
Most Finnish metal heads I know here in Finland, listen also to classical. 90% listens many genres, but even amongst the most hardcore, classical stuff is valued. My class used to listen to Vivaldi when painting at school in the 90's.
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 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.
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.
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.
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

What do u mean RIP??
Alexi Laiho passed away...RIP
i was introduced to this by my buddy that turned into my husband

We truly lost an amazing artist. I hope he's found his peace.

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.
Who else just keeps coming back to enjoy this?
At least every summer.
Have a nice sunny day YOU ALL 🇫🇮🌞 HYVÄÄ KESÄÄ KAIKILLE!
Thanks for reuploading this! Such a blast from the past.

Alexi you’re a legend. I’ll never forget my first concert ever

RIP brother, you left your mark on heavy metal music, and the made the world just that little bit better. 🙏
Alexi was a great talent for sure! Thank you for all your contributions to guitar and metal Alexi!

i had this dvd in 2006, what a great time to see him playing like a god!
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!!!!! 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!!!

....and Roope you get yourself together and BE ALIVE AGAIN! Please.
Damn Alcohol
Greetings from Finland, it's getting kold, the winter is coming over us.
Love to see Jackson in actions. The golden years.
Me and my friends covered this during college week. The crowd went wild as expected! RIP Alexi Laiho.
Great Antonio Vivaldi's summer cover!
A great guitarrist from the new era R.I.P. 👊
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.

More people need to listen to Sinergy too!!
We love you bro!!😭

You were my friend when I didn’t have many Alexi.. I hope your influence helps us down here.
I love he's musiciion, he was very lovely person.

Kiitos sinulle sinne tähtiin, upeeta ♥ ♥ ♥
RIP Alexi 😔😔what a legend

Скорбим, помним. Хороший был гитарист. Умер рано, сделал много.

Here are two good Finnish guitar players. Miss them both.

Thank you Marcos, and thank you Alexi...

Never got to see him live. RIP Wildchild
Hands off! My Favorite guitarist alongside Ershad Zaman 🙌
Remembering Alexi Laiho. 🙁 🥀
8th April 1979 - 29th December 2020.
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!

so true, I remember all Metal Magazines trying to give their music a genre.... it was funny but proved their style to be individual
Ради уважения к вам обоим, я ставлю 1000-ю лайков!!! 🤗🤗❤
I Miss him so much :(
This is musical culture 👏👏👏👏👏
Quel grand guitariste !
I miss Alexi Laiho.
RIP Alexi Laiho..
Shit, this videos were like my church back in the day. We miss u Alexi.
Same bro, same.

Modern days Randy Rhoads
Killer with an axe in his hands
RIP!
A Angel is playing ❤
Soo clean
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!
Good quality👍
Doesn't even sound real it's so good
I remember watching these on the comcast guitar lessons channel I was like 13
Светлая память🙏
RIP Alexi
man hear roope he kicks ass... oh yeah alexi cool too... listen closely he flawless no pick scratch
RIP Laiho 🤘
He was great, sometimes sloppy but always in your face.
RIP
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...

Got to give it up while u can
Alexi had mental health issues even when younger. Anxiety and depression, both very common in Finland. Such a sad case.
I watched all these rock videos and they blowed my mind, now I realize how low quality are these records
A.L. was such a killer guitar player. RIP
I would've liked to hear Roope a bit more.
Does anybody know where this video is from? Where is the complete recording?
나보다 한 살 적은데 벌써 이 세상을 등졌다니
지금도 한창 활동을 해도 모자를게 없을텐데
영면하시길
The guys have talent
I didn't drink beer with you, why did you leave so early? RIP. Madness child.
Fck, been at 7 COB gigs, it kills me there ll never be an 8th
RIP :(
Gracias!
Why does no one talk about roope latvala here? :(((
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.
Roope Latvala
Was ein Brett! 😍
YESS👍👍
What effect pedal is the guy on the right using to get the violin sound??
Este Alexi tem um controle incrível da guitarra
Muito bom ele uma grande perda para a música mundial...
anyone know where to find tab/lesson video of this stuff ?
RIP the legend
jackson rhoads alexi is the best guitarist ive ever seen
