Alexi Laiho - Reap N’ Roll Licks

[@feilong29]

Alexi in his prime! Raw and uncut and just ferocious.

[@brandonharris9160]

Eyy meng wassup

[@Lepaulorig]

He was srill probably in hangover in the video

[@WheresCloudy]

man his chops are so on point in this video wtf. RIP

[@blapblapblapblap]

Guys that do demos for Japan usually play really well during the recording I've noticed. I read that it's due to producers having guitarists play for long hours so the players get really warmed up and yeah probably lots of takes from the long sessions.

[@MikaTarkela]

I remember seeing this video when I was a teenager about 15 years ago. Still impresses me! I think 10:00 is from Angels Don't Kill, not from chokehold.

[@Warhearts]

Oh right, the tail end of the solo. Good ear, man.

[@lespaulgailbert]

He was still in good shape here, killer riffs and licks with that jackson

[@infinidominion]

This was like 2000

[@AnzaShadow]

​@@infinidominion 2003 or 04 most likely since he's playing riffs from Hate Crew Deathroll.

[@brianminsk8]

Can you imagine the symphonies this man would have composes during the classical era of music?

[@Ogiiishred]

Literally watch this like once a month lmao

[@Coldwallbar]

chokehold verse is top tier writing

[@jackoconnor6797]

That was Alexander! That and lil bloodred ridin hood were his best contributions!

[@crimsontowerfullmoon8646]

The first riffs 0:10 remind me of Take No Prisoners (Megadeth)

[@foxfromabox]

so young!

[@Petros_94]

I need tab for diminished arpeggios can somebody write it pls 11:50 ? AWESOME .. RIP Alexi

[@Warhearts]

I would but it would be so tedious :/

[@Warhearts]

Actually, now that i think about it; Those are the arpeggios that he plays before Roope's solo in "Gallowmere" by Sinergy. If you can find tabs that are accurate for that song, you might find what you want there.

[@Petros_94]

@@Warhearts I found you were right! but it is a bit different in that there is still tapping used

[@feilong29]

Still need a tab?

[@feilong29]

Working on a tab, just let me know if you want it!

[@CreepingDeath_]

Chokehold squeal at 3:10 🔥

[@garzi93it]

His pinch harmonics have always been one of his points of strength, I think, just like whammy bar harmonics. Precise and straight to the point.

[@CØFFĮN_ÐĘLĮVĘRY]

All the way back when he still played on Jackson’s

[@guitarmaniacgino]

I prefer these Jackson RRs than the ESP Alexi V. These are just the right size.

[@jackoconnor6797]

The Ltd imports in the US are oversized because of copy right, the Custom Shop and other Japanese models are much better size 👍

[@childrenofkoris]

these skills and techniques fades after he took esp as the his official label

[@fredegundestratton4891]

Thats also prolly cause of the alcohol consumption

[@billjones4277]

The speed of his fingers in the beginning of this video 🤯

[@mago_Maximo_do_Universo]

bodom beach terror 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@jesseputkonen6171]

alexi looks so young, looks like 1999 alexi

[@V36663]

Basically i think its before the release of Hatebreeder

[@V36663]

So maybe un 19995/96

[@Tumpzu]

@@V36663 he's playing songs from hate crew album that was released in 2003 and he didnt have some of the tattoos before they went to the americas supporting hate crew. and the headband is a giveaway when this was.

[@sergeIwakura]

Alexi looks like he's still alive

[@eflopezsm4496]

2003

[@raketti7631]

i wish he would have played Triple Corpse Hammerblow its pretty much a forgotten song :(

[@brianminsk8]

Great song

[@GuitarsAndSoundNZ]

chokehold pt 2 is actually the end of Angels Dont Kill solo

[@IsaacBoardman-l9c]

What model guitar is he using

[@Warhearts]

@@IsaacBoardman-l9c Custom Shop Jackson RR24

[@akamouzis]

wonder what kinda amp/gear he was using in this recording

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII77]

12:01

[@moonloop6]

What the hell did he say at the beginning?

[@Warhearts]

“Hi, it’s Alexi from Children of Bodom and ahh, I’m gonna show you some licks so i hope you like them bruh, Check it out.” You should get your hearing checked, you might have Sensorineural hearing loss in the mid frequencies if you had trouble understanding that.

[@brandonharris9160]

Is this Young Guitar

[@Warhearts]

Yeah. Sorry for the late reply.

[@aenovikov]

Cute

[@Brustfetichrist]

He sure was

[@Вова-в3я6я]

Почему у него все так скрепит в живую

[@CHOPERUS23]

Looks like his fast 3 note per string runs begin with an upstroke.

[@TheVaelastrasz]

I thought that was my sister

[@1vohr3]

Гитара фирмы Беларусь!)))

[@asdf2593]

is it just me or does he have tiny fingers

[@alexbhai3345]

He was a lil guy... But had a big name ❤
