Alexi Laiho Documentary Solos

Alexi Laiho Documentary Solos

[@GreatBurningNullifier]

Alexi in his prime was amazing, I almost cried watching this.

[@TheOccultationProject]

He was pretty amazing before he left us also. I saw Bodom for the last time in 2019. Alexi looked tired, but his ability was still there. RIP Wildchild 🤘

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

@@TheOccultationProject Yup... This was a studio-session. Live, it's a different story unless you are Shawn Lane, who seemed to play even better and more precise live somehow. A show like they did, with singing and running around is obviously going to be sacrificing precicion, especially the way Alexi did it, who obviously loved the rock-star vibe of showboating and drinking etc.. His latest album with BAM showed no decline in songwriting, creativity or playing really.. Which is pretty astounding to consider with the issues he had going on.

[@abhishekbirhade5917]

@@TheOccultationProject I def agree, I saw them live 2x in 2017 and 2018 and both times he didn't growl the same an neither were his solos the same, felt like they really had list something. But then again he really has never really been a live guy he is best in the studio.

[@tenthousandagainstone7967]

This is one of the oldest videos I remember watching of Bodom back in the mid 2000's, right around when KZbin was first getting started. RIP Alexi. Your music has given you eternal life. Gone but not forgotten.

[@Deylan06]

I saw him on his birthday! and we got to sing happy bday to him, he is soooo awesome

[@tonymoncivaiz7330]

Thank you for the memories Alexi, goodbye for now brother, see you down the road wild child.

[@KharaH]

Alexi is indeed an incredible musician in every aspect!!! One of my all time favorite guitarists!!! CoB is an awesome band!!!

[@aleksanteri2028]

Rest in peace, legend...

[@mitchwilson2037]

1000 percent phenomenal 🤘🤙thanks for all the great music you put out there RIP

[@skylord081]

Man. Cant we have this Alexi again??

[@honeybadger952]

Damn, no(((

[@Batman-hc6mv]

He is the Modern day randy rhoads hell he did amazing job covering mr. crowley.

[@EM-zj1xm]

1:39 that tapping part, holy sh*t!

[@pablogarcia5094]

Where was that solo from, I wonder?

[@fabiomachado7793]

Simply the best guitarist of all time...

[@joaquinalejandro2274]

R. I. P Alexi ❤😭

[@davidtheloafward]

RIP to a legend 😭

[@BuHeTy]

While using Jackson RR he used to play more clean. Mention no delay or reverb used!

[@Warhearts]

actually he did use delay/reverb with the Rocktron intelifex. I have a video in my channel that shows him and Roope doing a promotion for jackson guitars and you can hear it there. But i do agree with you that the Jackson days were when he played the cleanest.

[@Trubel2146]

He also broke his Shoulder which never fully healed so he had to change his technique completely and re-learn how to play guitar essentialy, But he's back Listen to Hexed!

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

esps are way better quality now and he did use delay and reverb back then

[@rsman169]

No other talent is as great as musical talent.

[@MonaRock13]

Oh...he plays very well! And he's handsome! ^^^ COB is now one of my favorite bands....

[@ลักษมีรุจิจันทร์]

Good 👍 👍 👍 😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸Alexi❤❤❤ilove you 😘😘😘

[@rsman169]

i love alexi. it's not his skill.. it's his feeling.. no other better then his in my eyes. feeling=skill.

[@ShredmasteRsl3]

true that man!! they've mastered every subgenre of metal!

[@sugizoyosuke]

GREATT VIDEO alexi is the best guitarist in the world !

[@TheJ4yroll]

For the Jackson guys out there; he would’ve sounded amazing with any gear. But still, I personally play with Jackson’s because of these early things he did. That probably didn’t make any sense, but as Allu would’ve said: f*ck it!

[@wannabeserpento99]

his tone is so guuuuuuud

[@signitureDGK]

you know the thing i like about this guys playing is his..speed runs..sound soo SICK...sounds a machine gun at 0:11 onwards its INSANE and the solo at 0:35 sounds awsome.!

[@tedats]

Those guitars are still out there somewhere. He always sounds so fking crazy gd playing on them.

[@bodom9763]

Prolly rotted away at the bottom of a lake to be honest.

[@aleksi3679]

@@bodom9763 Well metal parts are still somewhere. Its sad.

[@popescusergiu469]

Yes, those rr24 s are the stuff of legend. No esp could touch them.

[@k7j007]

Someone stole Alexi's Randy Rhoads guitars from the bands rehearsal place in Finland. They are still out there somewhere under someone's bed or in a closet. Recently Janne was doing an interview talking about recording the early records and said that Alexi's Jacksons were never in great shape. He said they would not stay in tune well and would not intonate. He said he had to pitch shift his keyboards on the recordings to match Alexi's guitars doing all the dual harmony stuff because Alexi's guitars could never be intonated properly no matter how much they tried, or who worked on them trying to correct it. Janne said he was happy when they were stolen because it forced Alexi to get new guitars. He never had any issues with the ESP models. Janne said he knew Jackson made great guitars but for whatever reason the particulsr Jacksons that Alexi had were nothing but a headache. It kind of broke my heart hearing that, because I grew up idolizing Alexi and his custom shop Rhoads'. I always played Jacksons early on specifically because of Alexi. Hearing that those guitars weren't the perfect instruments I had always imagined kind of hurt lol

[@tedats]

@@k7j007 I saw that too haha. I really do think the difference is having guitar techs like he said though. It's hard to intonate a Floyd.

[@baroque2]

Ahaha I liked the Mozart at the end.

[@Raidogen]

HOLY SHIT was that the T-1000!!!! LOOK at the recording guy in the beginning...

[@chinkilla666]

0:48-0:58 and 0:59-1:30 (best song ever) are so sick!

[@str1ker12345]

His Tone is soooooo nice!

[@TheGuitarLord]

Alexi is ridiculous. Especially the solo at 1:32. He's untouchable!

[@Wildchildinc]

RIP the original WildChild!

[@XionComrade]

@jbohler33 You can switch the gainboosters off, its the toggle switch on his guitars.

[@noemiLaiho]

He's so amazing!!!

[@soadxxsystem]

lolol! the last solo!! hahahah alexi u rock

[@ismelljello]

RIP ALEXI!

[@olio16]

This is the only time I've ever seen him without his nails painted.

[@EsaldaH]

Damn, the sound he has here with this Jackson is way better than the sound he has now with his ESP... But he still rocks.

[@4251268]

whats the names of the classical pieces he´s playing with janne and the last one (around 1.45)??.

[@MestreMick]

Alexi is improvising to The Hellion by WASP

[@yoslam40]

el mejor guitarrista hasta el momento bueno para mi

[@trevorshear7737]

To be honest.I really preffered Alexi using the Jackson guitars rather than the Esp ones he uses these days.I just feel the Jackson tone is better for his style of playing.Just saying.This is my opinion.

[@Lisapancakes]

0:59 OMFG! this is hilarious! XD sounds like a banjo lol

[@RoccoPezzin]

@1ammaccabanane it's hellion by WASP...i think that was one of his solo takes.....eventually they swapped it for another one in the final recording

[@Aghatio]

alexi laiho is the best...!

what is the song of 0:59?

[@Metalheadgirl92]

Alexi is the best guitarist in the world !!! :p

[@yngvaibucketrucci]

rocking.. and fucking rolling... and fucking rocking... and fucking rolling

[@WolfCrashAzarel]

he is incredible... and considering that its 1999 in the vid,... he was only 20 years old... O_O" he IS THE GOD.

[@cobhc246]

1:32 is the sickest solo

[@brennuvargr4638]

When he does the tapping...!

[@theairyaquarius]

Alexi is very good! :).

[@sportsportsport]

LMAO, love the ending song. Off spring!

[@rama6maiden]

only musician from finland who is good!!

[@VanDrad13]

The song at 1:45 is called Eine kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart

[@deadnightwarior]

very nice

[@RoggichIsGod]

Agree

[@rsman169]

it's the solo from the song "Hellion" by WASP. A song they did a cover on.

[@Markleadguitar]

That song kicks so much ass! Both versions!

[@666vhd]

So sad he never got those guitars back...

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

stolen by some loser that i doubt plays guitar/vocals better than alexi

[@bobbythepsycho]

best guitarist ever

[@AriesBG]

He is so talented!And hot :p

[@Youlubucki]

@exodusmetal87 It's a jingle composed by Kim Kuusi. "Valiojogurtti (classic)"

[@RaytheGrayt]

man i love when alexi does hellion 0:34

[@brennuvargr4638]

Innit amazing... So fucking sad. :(

[@Jagguar20]

That's right, then he asked Jackson to make another one but -for some reasons- they say they would take up to years-time so then he joined ESP and they gave him a new guitar.

[@falige]

in the words of i think james hetfield "i saw no point in making purely masturbatory solos" meaning so what if the solos are fast? what musical substance do they really have? its great if u have amazing technique but amazing song writing is so much more important

[@Razorkid666]

@BoondockSaint10175 alexi's version from the song "Hellion"

[@lizardbeast8701]

"Documentary solos"... why that name? The insert was called "Kuuden kielen maisterit", in English "The Six String maestro's" 👍

[@ShredmasteRsl3]

put it this way, Bodom themselves said they don't wanna be a certain subgenre of metal so they say they're just Metal and nothing else.

[@AlxMiNeR]

hahah he still had his jackson guitar xD poor him they were soo beautiful(perfect for me)

[@gtamoviestudios]

@Jezorful the solo from mr.crowley and hellion have the same riff.

[@Max_Kleiber]

lol yeah! what you can hear here is actually the alexi i dig the most.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII77]

1:51

[@OllieLeMerc69]

@cheese0tron It's the ending of the Hellion solo, the cover originally by W.A.S.P

[@rsman169]

the part where him and janne were playing was 1999. this was late 99 or early 2000, i can tell because hellion was released with follow the reaper and that was 2000

[@denislaiho]

thats the alexi i like !!

[@Angelo3980]

Grande Alexi... ha un tocco incredibile!!! Dal vivo l'ho visto 2 volte e riesce ad essere sempre fantastico. Peccato che è un bisex XD

[@cobhc246]

mainly pentatonic with a few other riffs he throws in most of his solos. and he adds the minor on the g stiring sometimes

[@MetallicaSindre]

the lick from 1:32 to 1:35 is one of the most evil licks ever!!! :-D

[@art7s77]

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

[@bloodshot111]

Pshh from 0:00-2:01 hes freaking amazing.

[@rohitmango]

@Achtelnote dude i listened to teh song u mentioned here but its not teh same! cud u please check again n lemme kno??

[@UnLuckEEEr]

0:33 - AWESOME 1:00 - NICE :D:D:DD

[@TheKeswickGallagher]

@XionComrade i'll agree with that blackouts are much better then EMG's, in his old jackson's he had built in pre-amp's with gain boosters built into his guitar so the Guitar was impossible to get a Clean sound out of it no matter what amp you use

[@XionComrade]

watch?v=myCHOKnfh08 Yes he does actually, says so in that interview that the black ESP is his favorite guitar ever!

[@gitariff]

thanx ;)

[@gtamoviestudios]

@Jezorful that's impossible to know because both solos have the same backing riff right? xD

[@pannikuttyramasamy5018]

can some one tell me what he is playing at 0:49? there used to me a full youtube video of just this Bach etude

[@Pietreszcz]

How old is this? Janne with short hair, Alexi playing on Jackson RR.... O_O wow thx for releasing! BODOM! \m/

[@ugcx]

Alexhi looks so funny with headphones on haha!

[@geniusofbrutality]

he looks so young!

[@HeadBanger666969]

true but its not just about being able to do it. its about being able to do it like THAT

[@Ywce07]

@guitarwailer7 then its something he used to play it cuz they have similar sounds/progression

[@theaxelofrose]

@DeathPenguin1000 well, dave went from jackson to esp then to dean. and (i don't know much on jacksons) i thought jacksons went down since fender bought them

[@KunalLuthra]

omg. PRecision.. HES GOT IT

[@StrAz0R]

@jether80 he was using jackson guitars that's why ;-)

[@cookiecollision]

ohh that jackson.....looks like a jackson RR3 Rhoads cus the Jackson JS30RR Rhoads dont have sharktooth razorlays unless its custom but it looks more like the RR3 for sure

[@futtbuckerson7394]

Even though Alexi isn’t a lefty and most lefty’s credit Iommie and Hendrix, Alexi kept me playing. I love those guys, as should be. However I wanted to achieve a new standerd: Alexi was who I modeled my playing after the most. Those instruments were stolen but I said fuck it Randy died but Alexi took his playing and elevated it so I can try. My band isn’t anything near CoB but they told us to try are best, and for that I’m a better player for it. Ty Alexi, I hope I he future bolds well for u

[@mycustomyoutubechannel2539]

RIP King

[@TajemnaTemnota]

When you Alexi Will you play all !

[@Segrare]

OH MY GOD! 1:00 Is awesome

[@Jagguar20]

He started playing very young indeed.

[@mAestroShrd]

thanks man, you are the best!

[@UncleKalle]

o.55 best song :)

[@guitars357]

and he does it all without the neck pickup!
