@@AliZurix i was about to say it . i highly doubt he will come back got a big hit when they kicked him from the band without reason at all .

This was filmed in the golden era of Finnish metal. During the early 2000's Alexi (may he rest in peace) was at his best and Bodom was making pure gold, record after record, Nightwish had released a couple of records and was starting to bloom, Ensiferum and Moonsorrow released their first albums etc.

Thanks for this! One thing, shouldn't the 2nd Track at 4:13 be "Waltari - Move" instead of Passage to the Reaper? Or they just named their jamming over Move being Passage to the Reaper?
Seriously so cool of you to upload this! Probably some of the best content showcasing Roope's playing and seeing Alexi playing his old "Stone" RR is truly something wonderful to behold.
@@tfbytslols8426 I asked a local luthier to build me a replica of this 1 pickup rr because I want to have one without having to sell my kidney lol. I need inputs whether I should ask them to paint it like Wild Child or Stone.

@@noodlehair6566 i got a japanese RR1 that i modded the hell out of to make it look like the Stone RR. I could send you some pics, if you'd like. Its easier to do the Yellow bevel look, cause you just have to paint them, but the pinstripes are a little tricky to get right.

@@numchacar Alexander quit in the middle of a tour with very little notice and pretty much fucked COB over. He wasn't happy with the tour life and wanted to go home to his wife Roope pretty much drank himself out of the band
@@rajgopinoth4241 lol you should watch the interview Kaaoszine did with Alexander that explains the reason why he left Bodom. After the HCDR All over Europe tour it was a breaking point for Alexander due to burnout.
There is a Finnish article from 2017. You can try to use translator or something and hope it makes sense. yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2017/06/29/roope-latvala-selkaanpuukotettu-mies
My favorite album is HALO OF BLOOD.. every song is professionalism at its best.. and a halo of blood is spinal fluid ringing around a drop of blood.. it's how you tell a traumatic spinal injury
@Franco After he got kicked out of Bodom he just stopped playing guitar all together and fell into ,a depression. There is a finnish interview where he talks about it. Pretty sad, and now with Alexi's passing I really worry for Roope.
@@Vukf1 I don't think there was ever an official reason, but it most likely had to do with his drinking since Alexi got clean and probably couldn't have Roope around him if he wanted to stay clean.
The guitars they tested in the end of this video were probably Jackson RR-LL, which was laiho/latvala signature series. Only 20-30 of those were made and all were sold in Finland if im correct.
@@RobboElRobbo no, right now there are no production model single humbucker jacksons, i dont know why, they would make a lot of money from Alexi/80s guitar enthusiasts
There whasnt alexi and roope signature series. There was Jackson Star series only produced in japan. Alexi asked Jackson about a signature model, but he taked too long for a sig model, thats why alexi has signed with esp
@@oxtoxes it had yellow bevels. This one seems to have white pinstripes and I believe it to be the one bought from Jiri, the one he ordered in Stone the same time as Roope ordered his. I can't quite put a date to Roope's guitar. It could be the same one he ordered back then, just retrofitted with single coil, since the single coil appeared in pics pretty late.
@@tyreekmurillo4524 i mean he left on amazing note at least..hexed was the best album of the 10's from him and bodom after midnight was great for the 2 songs it was
I was at a similar clinic in another town that same year. Brings back memories! I was 15 years old then. Had just started playing the guitar. It was really cool to see these two shred from two meters away. And when they left they both gave me a high five! Life sure was great back then...
@@hispanoamericano3015 I kind of agree but hard work is always going to be necessary. Saying that it's natural talent discredits how much time they spend practicing. You aren't going to get that good if you only play in Noodle around without focusing and doing it for hours
I have to disagree in part. If you look at the basics, Roope was the more well-rounded guitarplayert of the two. But the fluidity of Alexi's staccato was completely off the charts. Being able to play like that, at his age, that was rare. The amount of creativity he put into that at the same time.... he was the more talented guitarist, even if Roope had a more clean technique
@@MichaelHolmgaard Yeah, Both are amazing but i can see how 2 iconic guitarists can really get at each other. Roope even said Alexi began to look down on him. Who knows the whole story but i don't find it too hard to believe
@@tylorcaruth It can't have been easy for Alexi. He peaked so early, and when you can no longer squeez in 3 hours of practice every day, you will start losing that speed and precision - Something which Alexi utilized so well in his day. Perhaps it was all due to Alexander leaving the band? Alexi seemed to be very close with him
We need more Roope! People from Finland, please show him your love and support during these difficult times, Roope is too much of a great talent, he needs to come back and shred!
