CHILDREN OF BODOM - Are you dead yet? guitar by Alex Schmeia

It's been requested for a while, so I decided to practise and record it. It's still a pain in the ass for me and my weak skills, but I got this more or less. Hope you like it. Cheers!

Damn... I didn't think I'd have to write anything like that.. R.I.P. Alexi. He'll be missed so freaking much, such a talented guy, may he rest easy :(

[@BAADAPPLE]

What a horrible start to the year .

[@sick-head3770]

💔

[@emiliomarfull3798]

What a terrible blow

[@firstdreamwalker]

Never thought that the title of this anthem would one day become his fate...

[@Chr1sROCKT]

I told my friends that i could not imagine that 2021 could actually be worse than 2020. Possibly i may have spoken to soon.

[@bill4938]

Miss you forever Alexi Laiho. RIP 🖤🥺

Speak finish,he's from finland

KZbin giving badass recommendations? There's a first for everything.

[@kunal7597]

You totally nailed it.Your skills are no less than a professional guitar player,loved the solo. Keep Rocking 🤘🤘

[@OlaSzmeja]

many thanx, cheers!

[@AnderssenX]

i like the dog

[@OlaSzmeja]

I like him too ;)

[@freakflip8416]

Alex Schmeia nice metal dog! my brothers dog is my only fan here at home. he don't care if my guitar volume is too loud he still watch me play. :-)

[@OlaSzmeja]

freak flip same here ;)

[@AnderssenX]

probably not as loud for him as for us:) (dat moment u see a reply from ur own comment and have to watch the video again)

[@freakflip8416]

AnderssenX dogs hearing capability is more sensitive that us humans. loud noises are a kind of torture for them. that's why I'm impressed on dogs that love listening to metal. other dogs won't stay in a noisy place or sorrounding.

[@LonNah11]

1:04 the dog's face 10/10

[@JassyPabst]

Once I get a guitar with a good floyd rose, I will definitely learn this one! Tight solo, Alex! =) You don't have weak skills =P

[@OlaSzmeja]

Many thanx! I think it was the hardest song I've ever learnt, but it was so much fun to play it when I finally got it. Much love to you, cheers! :)

[@OhHeyItsTheDUDE]

Why not put those skills to the test and create your own take on the solo on this song.. No Floyd rose needed... A cover doesn't need to be 100% like the original right?

[@hairmomma1]

Jassy you need metal cats 😆

[@mushfek]

That satisfaction you get when you nail it is from dopamine \m/ Keep rockin!

[@martinbelanger2650]

A duo of both of you would be great Alex S and JJ’s !

[@richardbutkis]

Tone is pretty spot on. I was really into these guys back in the day. Felt the nostalgia through your hands. Sweet cover.

[@jmdizzle8527]

Love the hair!

[@jmdizzle8527]

Also the guitar playing

[@OlaSzmeja]

thanx!

[@Blammo1970]

I do too. also that was an incredible cover

[@OlaSzmeja]

thanx Richard!

[@EtanJay]

you have color hair like Max Cavalera past

[@issacdavis3767]

Why don't I ever get Neighbors like this? Well played and totally killer.

[@mrsadistik2800]

As soon as I heard the first pinch harmonic of the song done perfectly, with such a perfect guitar tone, I knew this was going to be amazing. Nicely done! I'm at twenty-plus years into this career choice, learning everything to perfection, and it is a FACT that Alexi Laiho's work is not at all for beginners, or the mediocre either. Take pride in your talents and abilities, because I know guys who play in successful national (and beyond) recording/touring acts that can't rip through the easiest Bodom song. I gain more and more hope for the future of music every time I see a girl who, not only picks up a guitar, but has the ambition and the patience to learn it as well as the level you're playing at. Keep it up! 🤘

[@firstdreamwalker]

One of your best covers. Don't know how many times i've watched it already. Today again and for an all the more sad reason. RIP Alexi Laiho!

[@Stropitor]

That was awesome! Good job. Looking forward to your next upload.

[@OlaSzmeja]

thanx!

[@mr.rhubarb]

Great cover ! You helped me a lot learning the song myself. Took me multiple views to notice your doggo admiring in the bottom right, seems to like COB as well 😂 Keep up the good work 💪

[@manmohankaur2776]

After listening to this song few times....i zeroed the volume and kept watching those beautiful hands with that blistering nailpolish.....again and again and again....in love wd those hands now❤❤❤❤

[@user-sc6zh2xv7g]

Не могу остановиться пересматривать , каждый день по нескольку раз смотрю на протяжении месяца ,и не надоедает ))) Видно сколько сил вложено в кавер ,все моменты учтены, отличная работа!

[@turtlesrutles4742]

i love the guitar and nice work playing the song. r.i.p alexi, a true inspiration.

[@frankmccourt1178]

That was truely amazing ! Laiho would be proud

[@fadedlight8596]

Why do I always find good bands like this after something happens.... 😭 it happened to me with after the burial too with Justin Lowe. May the metal lords rest in peace and prosper in heaven.. man I just imagine the concerts they must be having.

[@ltran25]

I havent kept up with bodom in about 4 or 5 years, your making me want to listen to them again.

[@Itwasatragedy]

pretty damn impressive, I thought you did great. in comparison to other covers of this song I have heard, this one is the best. legit

[@OlaSzmeja]

many thanx!

[@d7dust]

You were born to play, amazing talent

[@anundiscoveredsoul...8230]

[@RyTube996]

Guitar playing was so good I didn't realise there wasn't lyrics until halfway through. All the little details are spot on, sweet cover

[@dannobaxman9309]

Cam angle at 33s doesn't do the stretch there justice, that bit held me back for a while. You nailed it. Nice.

Fucking love this song great job playing it

Я из России. просто завораживает твоя игра на гитаре. спасибо и не останавливайся в своём творчестве!

[@billwallace1177]

This was a whole lot of fun to see. Big thanks and major appreciation for your skill on this. Lots of cool nuances and style in your playing. I hope you keep having fun, and don't keep it to yourself! I'm a live sound guy in Dallas, and you never know what stages you might get on and inspire new kids to crush it!

[@yabo2424]

Beyond amazing ! Wow your chops and technique are amazing . This one was just impressive AF !!

Your skills are undeniably good, the best part is the energy and passion you play with. Most girls and a lot of guys play the stuff without really feeling it, you are a whole different story. Keep rocking, subscribed.

Many thanx! :)

R.I.P alexi laiho. Big lost.. But wow great job, rock on!

[@joacoduckling461]

Hey, are those ESP pickups? I wanna buy this LTD MH 350 FR that comes with ESP pickups and in every review I see on youtube they've EMGs ¬¬ If yours has ESP pickups I'll sure buy it 'cuz they sound amazing!!! Awesome skills btw! Keep it up =)

[@OlaSzmeja]

joaquin pato As far as I know, in this model, which you wanna buy, stock pickups are emg, that's why you see them in every review. I'm not sure tho. Check it once again. Mine are stock alh-200.

[@joacoduckling461]

Yes, sorry, the one I wanna buy is an LTD MH 330 FM FR. I saw on your instagram account that your pickups say ESP and are the same ones (that the one I wanna buy has). Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. You've got yourself another subscriber!!!

[@OlaSzmeja]

ah, so it's the same model as mine, so yeah the pickups are alh-200 esp designed. thanx!

[@rockstarbmf9595]

I have an ESP MH-100 QMNT same color guitar minus the trim, fret mrkings and floyd but pick ups make a guitar.. i have PASSIVE ESP pickups and theyre the best stock pickups youll find next to after market. personally after tweaking them to my set up which anyone can and should do daily to their liking unless their guitar is always at room temp. because guitar necks move in temp changes.. but honestly all you,re doing is raising, lowering them to or from the strings. simply turning a screw but the newer Esp 150s which i got on my axe in 2015 sounds fucking badass

[@DJ-mk5ln]

You rock that guitar love your play and love your doggy watching 😊🎸 wish I could play like that now but I I've just started getting back into learning how to play and friend is going to try and teach me. Keep shredding that axe 😁🎸

[@fernandomsteps]

They are!!! But u did a great job! I'm 30 now, been playing since I was 14, but their solos are still a challenge! In my early 20's me and a buddy of mine we used to cover most of their songs... we still play together sometimes nowadays!
