- Alexi Laiho (1979-2020) teaches guitar playing in a television program with other Finnish top guitarists.
Alexi seems to improvise a lot and criticizes his own performance saying he messed it up. But Iiro is very happy with him.
Man I didn't know that Alexi could touch a non-V-shaped guitar without bursting into flames.
Kinda reminds me of ace from KISS. good stuff :D
Welll yeah but he still needed to keep it close to him, look at the floor. Pretty sure he was thinking of the esp while playing.
@@danteashen6178 At least he's still playing an ESP, just an eclipse one :D
@@AustrianReaper yeah my bad, did not pay attention. Lets say he was looking with deep thoughts his sawtooth guitar
@@danteashen6178 The things I'd do to afford one of his ESP models :D they are all beautiful guitars
Man i was smiling the entire way through this but once he smiled at the end i instantly shed a tear. Still miss this guy and still listening to CoB everyday since he passed.
Me to one of my favorite bands
I saw them live when i was younger at the 2008 gigantour with megadeth and since then i always loved him as a guitar player, and really enjoyed a few songs of theirs, but he happened to die on the same day as my birthday and since then i went down the CoB rabbithole. Downloaded the whole discography on spotify and have it on shuffle any time im driving. I can listen to pretty much any CoB tracks at this point without skipping over anything. Spotify told me at the end of last year i was one of the top 0.5% listeners for the entire year. One memory ill always remember about him was when i saw then live, they went into the intro of Dont stop believing by Journey on the keys and then Alexi had an entire arena of metal heads singing along to Journey. This was also before that song was terribly over used and i could actually stand to hear it lol RIP Alexi
Also the last album HEXED that they put out is absolute perfection. The lyrics seem so eerie on many songs now that he's passed away. Its like he knew where he was heading. That album imo makes the discography come full circle. Its right up there with the earlier albums.
@@ShiD-FARD Rabbithole.. I also bought all the CD´s to my car after Alexi died and I´ve been looping them since whenever I´m driving. And last year I was driving mostly because of that, nowadays it´s too expensive fun...:(
Same here bud
That smile at the end is priceless❤️
Rest in peace Legend.
We all miss you💔
Alexi had the most beautiful smile
Still sad, he was the hero of my youth..he was and still is the best 💪
Good to see him enjoying himself and not taking music life too seriously all the time, we all miss you so much it still feels wrong to be living in a world with you no longer in it :(
Alexi definitely knew a thing or two when it came to trading licks back and forth with the keys/piano.
What I find awesome in this interaction is that you have this veteran Jazz pianist who’s having a blast playing a blues jam with a Melodeath guitarist. The most open Jazz musician I’ve ever seen.
Iiro Rantala is a great jazz pianist and composer. And also a very funny man.
Since my young years, he was my idol for 10 years. Rest in peace beautiful person.... I will never forget you...
He was such a punk rocker at heart
Black metal guitarist plays rock n roll with jazz pianist, inspiring.never have boundaries
And here I am, two and a half years after his death with tears in my eyes full of joy to see him smile and sadness that hes gone… rest in peace wildchild…
Perkele!🖤🥲😢
so wholesome, it's so nice to see him play non-usual stuff.....
Rip
I had no idea how much I needed this in my life. Awesome song. Awesome musician. May he rock in peace 🤘
My favorite Rockabilly song played by my metal idol. This is absolutely bizzare.
Thanks, Redfox Artic, for this incredible video footage !
Rest In Power Alexi !!!
I love Alexi Laiho and his playing, a genious. R.I.P ❤
Dude this made my day, love this song and seeing Alexi play it is so awesome
What a joy, thanks for sharing this. 🙏
This makes me smile, i love it!
Gods be praised. Didn't know i needed to see this but thank you.
Отличная импровизация, Лайхо был талантливым гитаристом. Он чувствовал музыку
man Alexi was such a badass, this Is literally his tune, wild child playing stray cat🤘
Wow, I didn't know he passed. Seems like I just saw him a couple years ago at a local club. I expected he'd long outlive my old ass, and have a brilliant musical future. This piece was a great, fun cover of an old favorite.
For non-finnish speakers, Alexi says ''Sorry, i messed that up''. Rest in peace Wild Child!
Yeah he ment the ending and laughed to that. 😁🤘
Loved how he put the paper in the piano to add a snare sound when he hit the upper keys.
A Ed Van Han Halen trick.
@@standingvertical3048 lol try Erik Satie, like 70 years before van halen
Unbelievable timing - brilliant!
You mean in a horrible way I guess.
Здорово! Не видел раньше, чтобы Алекси играл в этом жанре
Alexi ...no hay otro como el ...siempre estará su legado
El siente la guitarra es parte de el ...
THAT. WAS. AMAZING!
Алекси крутой был чел, жил на всю катушку)... С удовольствием переслушиваю старые альбомы CoB, и могу с уверенностью вам сказать - такого сейчас не делают. Мира всем.
🥲🥲🥲 Bless you Wildchild, We miss your soul everyday
Thank you.
I still can't believe he is gone...
R.I.P. Alexi.
beautiful
DUDE that lick from 1:27 to 1:35 is so crazy good :D
What a legend!
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘awesome,my fav gutarist ❤️❤️❤️
Woooo!!!!🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟 You are missed.
But Sad: My Idol Has Gone 😞🤘
"Sorry I f*cked it up" said Alexi in the end of the video, and 90% watching this video might not even recognice it. 😄 Including probably me. He was such a humble person at least as it comes to music. R.I.P. Alexi. Never forgotten.
Still i miss that man
What a beautiful human - RIP
super awesome.
The best metal guitarist ever 🤘 R.I.P Alexi laiho, we'll never forget you brother 🤘
amazing boogie ❤
Like a fire in the pouring rain your music lives on Alexi. HCDR
Rest In Peace legend
This was 🔥
Love you Alexi...
Playing jazz with emgs. Amazing sound
What a Legend!
Miss you Alexi 🤘
I miss you. 💔
Man the rhythm kicks ass!
That was one cool strut...
RIP Legend.
I never listened to alexi never really knew him until I heard he died but I sure have a respect for him after seeing him play
Wow!
Voivoi kun tulee tippa aina silmään kun kattoo tuota kitarasankari-idoliani hymyilemässä. Liian aikasin Allu lähdit.. Keikoilla kävin 2005-2019 välisen ajan kepitystä kattelemassa, viimeinen Pakkahuoneella joulukuussa -19.
Look at that small Marshall bro. The tone is in the fingers saying is absolutely true.
And this kids is why you should always practice using a metronome.
Nice one hater
@@benjaminaxselholm Laiho fan myself, but Dolger's right, it's a perfectly legitimate criticism of his playing here.
@@benjaminaxselholm
I’m just honest. If you isolate the guitar it sounds like a beginner and he would annoy the hell out of any band. It’s something any musician should master within the first years of playing.
Hes not a Jazz player. Straigt up metal head.. Dont take music so serious. But i agree.. Not very good timing..i play jazz..but i cant play Aleksis stuff in time Ever never..he was Finnish humble guy....got same proplems is life like i do, i became straight..no alcohol about 14yers...solo is ok.. But this was a Tvshow from Iiro Rantala.
They just play something..... Realize that if these two genius goes in studio.. Making music.. They play in time.. Trust me!!!
@@RastaganTheGreen i agree.
Playing in time and Rhytm guitar. Was my first what i learned..
Great
Alexi is a legend and no wonder called one of the best metal guitarists of all-time but let's all be honest. He was way out of his comfort zone here and the result is somewhat painful...
Buenisimo
rip ❤️
This video cheered a shitty day
My ears are bleeding because of such a metal performance and tone
Yes
The look of some people in the audience is priceless hahahaha \m/
It hurts to watch this now.
I miss you a lot WILDCHILD. You know what I mean. Rakastän sinua 🇫🇮
I got chill... We miss you Wrathchild !
Is there any more film of this session? That was just fucking amazing.
There is, where Alexi f.ex. tells about his technique and views about playing and demonstrates them. But making a clip requires adding translated subtexts, which is a bit of a challenge. Also Alexi was a well educated musician and uses terminology, that is strange to me. But maybe I'll try it. 👍
@@redfoxarctic3151 Please give this a try!
Any insight from Alexi on technique is sought after by his many guitar playing fans.
@@redfoxarctic3151 and if you can't translate, finnish guitar players in the comment section can fill in the blanks
R.I.P. Alexi.
👏👏👏
❤🙏
1:46 I knew his metal side would come out eventually 😂
RIP Badass
Alcohol is the enemy. Alexi, rest in peace...
This would've been a cool album...
Fred Penner did it first.
Why THE HELL is that beautiful laying on the ground?! Just kidding. Man, Alexi was my hero growing up. So glad I got to see COB a few times in their golden years. Their music meant so much to me then and even more to me now. Thanks for the upload.
It's because V was tuned drop D and he needed standard for that song🤘
Hey look, a Finnish line!
lived like a rock star died like a rock star
I don't know why the others just sat around and watched!
R.I.P Wild Child 🤘
Its rare to see alexi play with a Ltd EC
it's an ESP Eclipse.
thats great
but geez this pedal board is insane

Happy smile, just doing what he's like to do, good music! RIP Legend.
Ya lapangan, terbang
So weird to see him playing a hard-tail, he seems to feel a little naked without that whammy lol
Please! Someone get him a guitar stand 😬
Почему его никто не спас? Почему его бросили в беде одного?
Haha! That was great all around. Yeah, Alexi could do anything on guitar. It's so sad that nobody came to his rescue and helped him with addiction.
Looks LIke A Gibson Les Paul Guitar
@@paulodizon750 actually an esp
that is not true this is why bodom disbanded because he wouldn’t accept it
Alexi had told Janne he promised he would drink until he died. You can't help those that don't want it, and Alexi didn't want any help.
Isn't he in the band that killed some goats and a bass player?
No, that would be Varg Vikernes (the killer) and the band concerned Mayhem. This is Alexi Laiho and the band was Children of Bodom.
@@molekyyli Whooosh.
@@molekyyli Mayhem didn't kill any goats or bass players either.
,
They need a new sound engineer lol, the audio quality s abysmal
Terrible amp sound - ok, it's a workshop...
It's also those pickups.. you can't get a clean sound with those
The pianist says in the end that he's sorry to blew it
Actually it's Laiho who said that, he fckd up couple times
Aah, your correct, my bad...
THE DISTORTION DISTORTED THIS PIECE, THIS COULD WORK WITHOUT IT. DON´T UNDERSTAND THE STUBBORNESS TO PLAY EVERY SONG WITH DISTORTION.
What a waste..he was a very talented musician..
