Bed of Razors - Children of Bodom | Guitar Cover

[@DumitracheValentin]

Hello everyone, I was deeply saddened by the recent passing of maybe the most influential guitar player for me, Alexi Laiho. I started playing guitar when I was 11, with an acoustic guitar, learning Romanian songs. My first introduction in the Rock genre, Punk sub-genre was Green Day. That is when I got the chance to play on electric guitar, and later bought this Jackson I use in all my videos (my only guitar). Then after some years of playing mostly punk, which consisted in power-chords, one of my friends showed me Children of Bodom. I can clearly remember being reluctant and not liking the growl. But then I heard Lake Bodom, then Bed of Razors. The guitar-work on those two songs blew me away to the point where I became obsessed with this band, so much that I completely ignored the growls, which after some time I started to enjoy. This song (Bed of Razors) I played the most throughout my entire life and I'm sure I can play it blindfolded. Then I listened to some more music from Alexi, from his earlier work on Sinergy, loved most of the songs there, especially Pulsation. I am glad that this video is finally starting to get some attention, although the circumstances could've been better. All in all, I will finish this rant by saying that Alexi was the biggest influence in my guitar playing, and that I hope he gets to play the guitar, as he always did, wherever he might be. I will never forget the music he created, and hopefully more people will get to appreciate it and listen to it. Thank you for the kind comments, stay safe and enjoy music!

My friend, you're absolute fabulous ! Great, great guitar work 👏 RIP ALEKSI LAIHO 💕

Fuck man I didn't know he passed away! I've been away from the metal scene for a while now. This is super sad to hear. He was a brilliant composer and a virtuoso..

[@foxburrrosi5434]

We thank you, you covered this masterpiece...not to mention how perfectly managed it is❤thank you so much..and COB means so many things for so many people..so you're not alone with this thoughts👑

[@ReVincentius]

Great work, really, God bless you and your family and may the Good Lord bring some peace upon his family and rest his soul! He was very talented and so are you. Brilliant work!

May he rest in peace and be motherfucking proud of you.

So is Janne

[@jonasaa88]

The person who gave this a dislike is clearly not a CoB fan.. this is seriously the best cover of bed of razors on KZbin imo. Thank you for sharing, I shall go practice my guitar now xD

It can’t any better than this cover, hit every note

[@tomrafal3655]

I love how seamlessly Alexi wrote songs that combined metal with classical, punk, blues and jazz. He was such great writer and musician. It'll be a long time before we see his kind again.

[@mattlewis9364]

There used to be a video for two of Alexi when he was in music school playing fusion improv, he was a monster back in the day at any style you could imagine

[@Dey123hi]

@@mattlewis9364 I remember seeing that video long ago. I can't find it anymore...

Hands down the cleanest and best cover of this song I have ever seen... Imcredible!

[@fuzzymctwitch1906]

impressive.. Alexi was a savage on guitar.. good job

[@juanrodriguezmonti6172]

This is unbeliable. Clear, beautiful, and perfect. Hats off!

[@mariusflorea1984]

back at it again? I know i've probably heard it a million times and half a million times i've heard you play it, but never have i gone bored of it. Awesome interpretation as always !!!

[@rubenaltieri2986]

Absolutely well played my friend! Thanks for sharing.

[@xibir]

Great cover, as always 👍 Ps. Im hoping to hear some cover from Sabaton song, from you! 😀 Keep rocking 🤘

HE DID THE KEYBOARD SOLO IN GUITAR

[@axelf.3188]

One of those songs that made me want to learn guitar 🤘

[@cameronfarrellguitar]

That tone! Killed this classic,

[@antoinedaou2800]

This is the best cover i’ve even seen. Well done man

[@juanrodriguezmonti6172]

That moment at 3:00 is absolutely incredible 👏👏👏👏

[@niklaswanker]

Well played! Nice job with the keyboard solo btw 😄. It translates to guitar quite well, I see. 🎸🤘

[@aculie]

Great playing and tone!

[@terrysettle9669]

Really great play through! This is one of my favorite daily jams and it's really great to see someone cut through it like you have

[@brohikhondker9669]

Love you bro, great playing. A life defining song for me.

[@Boneamps]

I love your guitar!! I used to have that same model! They have incredible sound and punch!

[@DumitracheValentin]

they really do! Most of all I like the neck, very easy to play and comfortable (except the very high notes which are kind of hard to reach)

[@JijiLedger]

❤this is a clean 🔥 cover 🤘🏻u nailed it 🔥

[@SparkShredder]

I have a strong feeling that Alexi was the one to compose the Bed of Razors keyboard solo for Janne. Janne never really uses sweeps and bluesy bends. I have been a Bodom fan for 13 years and have been playing keyboards for the same time. There are lot of solos from the early era that Alexi may not be getting credit for.

[@krishnabrahma655]

Alexi I'm sooo... Confused. You were the master for me

[@kateelise88]

Amaaazziinng! Spectacular cover of one of my favourite songs 💚
