Children of Bodom - Every Song Medley - Alexi Laiho Tribute

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thanks to everyone for the amazing support I'm receiving with this video, it took me a lot of time to make it but you keep me motivated and maybe I'll do the same thing with other bands in the future!

[@henrywalton5967]

Still devistated Alexi is gone. So thankful I got to see them play live once. His riffs and solos will live on forever at least!

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Lucky, I missed them in 2014 and regret ever since

[@jacopomarinelli6463]

Probably the best medley in the history of heavy metal

[@amphetanine8573]

That's a pure 18-minutes melodeath piece, great work! Rest in Power, Alexi Laiho

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thank you so much mate!

[@esogenesi]

This should be featured on the official channels of CoB

[@lucas_astrad]

As a guitar player and as a huge fan of CoB, this is impressive. Well done my hatecrew brother, you nailed it! 🤘🏼

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thank you much :) check also the one I made with Death if you're a fan

[@NiVoldiza]

YES!! YES!!! Finally I see someone playing Lake Bodom like I do. I learned the riff by ear, and then only after that, I saw in a live clip, that Alexi plays the three notes that end the first lick with barréeing the lowest three string with his pinky. I tried to learn to play it that way, because "it's the right way", but is just didn't feel natural to me. Every time I see someone play this, I keep my eyes on their fingers, and most people do that lick with the pinky barrée. Man I feel so validated right now.

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Ahahah i do that way because I'm really not good at sweep picking, especially in barré notes, I have high difficulty to mute the strings in a sweep picking barré, so I came up with a different solution :)

[@jesseparrish9198]

You even nailed the guitar on the leg stance! 👍

[@Knokkelman]

Since everything else has been already said here: Nice living room :-D

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Hahahah 1000 subs special: living room tour

[@vicencgodoy2371]

You're a beast. I can hear this music is fueled by thousands of metal souls. Pretty sure many people feels conected to other metalheads while listening to this.

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thank you so much!

[@Konshiss]

Honestly what started my metal journey was when I first heard “every time I die” I asked my cousin what is that? I never heard music like that before. Great job man I’m still watching right now this is epic

[@andreamantelliproductions]

My path to metal was a bit different, but when I first heard them 15 years ago something clicked and they always have been my favourite band! And yes, I have a physical copy of the first Sinergy album, it's just so good with both my biggest guitar heroes in it

[@Konshiss]

@@andreamantelliproductions my two favourite guitarists to! I did listen to Metallica first and justice for all album I was really into and then when I heard children of bodom was my favourite and then in flames and now I like lots of different bands like as I lay dying, old neaera, breakdown of sanity, old parkway drive, old insomnium, within the ruins, etc lots of bands but I’ve been listening to a lot of children of bodom again lately and Inearthed talking of the trees

[@Drinkwithclass]

Dude, Bodom was a gateway band for extreme metal for a lot of people, I started my music journey with the green apple compilation by The Beatles, Brave New World by Maiden, Puppets by Metallica, some Korn and Slipknot. Years later after Blooddrunk was release I lost interest for COB and change that place in my musical brain for Kalmah. I think Kalmah is better than COB, Something Wild, HateB, Follow and HCDR are absolute masterpieces

[@andreamantelliproductions]

@@Drinkwithclass Kalmah is indeed an awesome band, tho there are some albums that I don't like that much, like for the revolution and 12 gauge, but I haven't listened those albums by a long time, so maybe my music tastes changed

[@Drinkwithclass]

@@andreamantelliproductions For the revolution is fucking terrible

This video has reignited my desire to learn more Alexi. He was my guitar idol and finally tried learning some bodom after he passed. Thanks for this video man, it is no easy feat to cover every bodom melody like this kudo's . Start writing your own stuff and create your own legacy 🤘

He'll be thanked forever for being a genius

[@gianmarcodeluca6912]

I was watching your video, thinking "cool! Guy done a great job - this is played well and so nostalgic!" But, on a Knuckleduster track ending and Alexi's rip-photo i was like "Man, if he added that hidden track from Hexed ending, which was sounding really epitaphic at the point cob dissolved and later Alexi tragic passing... video is over - he didnt include it - i feels incomplete totally..." But then, hidden track kicks in... Great job, man! Thank you!

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thank! I actually discovered that hidden track some days before making the video, I always skipped the Knuckleduster remix before

[@josuemcvicker6122]

This is dope I love how you connected each riff to each other that were using the same/similar scales and keys sickkkk

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thank you so much!

[@Trubel2146]

The Hidden Track from Hexed is underrated af to the point i believe half of the people didn't even notice it XD

[@andreamantelliproductions]

I didn't even know about that song up until the week before releasing the video. I had already done the recording and filming, then one night I was in my car with the Hexed album in it but for whatever reason I never notice the track, or just skipped it. It felt like discovering a hidden gem for me, and I had to insert that track as well in the video

[@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь]

Totally agree! It is short and shows simple melody and beat, but the mood of 'road end', like it or not is strong here. For me it felt like goodbye from this band. And in the end of 2020 this short piece got another, more painful meaning in it... rip, Alexi

[@ParallaxDG]

in case you didn't know, it's title is "Confessions" and was supposed to be the intro track for Hexed but somewhere along the line they discarded that idea

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Thanks for the info, I didn't know

[@danhiaraxx]

wtf this is amazing, i'd love to see this with more bands, you did great! :D

Gran video! Io li ho conosciuti a 16 anni per puro caso, mi aveva ispirato la cover di Hatebreeder al negozio di dischi ed è stato amore, ma quando un amico mi ha fatto sentire Something Wild non c'è stata più storia. Uno dei miei più grandi rimpianti è non aver mai avuto l'occasione di vederli live :(

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Io li ho mancati per un pelo, dovevo andare a vederli con i Lamb of God ma la settimana prima c'erano stati gli attentati ad alcuni concerti in Francia tra cui quello degli Eagles of Death Metal, vista la situazione mi son tirato indietro e me ne pento

@@andreamantelliproductions any chance you would do a Sinergy tribute. Alexi wrote some amazing riffs and solos in that band.

[@andreamantelliproductions]

@@tinnitusattack yeah I love Sinergy and I wanted to do it but the Death one is my worst video in terms of views so I don't really know Not that having views changes anything in my life but these videos take a huge amount of time to make and I don't really know if it's worth Let's see what happens in the future though, never say never :)

[@tinnitusattack]

@@andreamantelliproductions I can understand that. I'd Imagine more people will be interested in his previous works now he is gone. 331Erock just made another sinergy video. They are hidden gems. Alexi was a brilliant writer I hope more people come to see how unique his song writing was. The symphony is beautiful to show people who arent into heavy metal. They think its regular classical music. Subscribed. Look forward to seeing more!

Mi ero perso quello dei Death quindi corro a vederlo, non apprezzo molto la voce di Chuck ma la composizione musicale è di altissimo livello.

[@andreamantelliproductions]

Si ma ti dirò, a parte questo video che già per me è stato difficilissimo da fare, le loro canzoni sono a un altro livello rispetto a me, riesco giusto a fare qualche canzone intera di are you dead yet che sono un po' più semplici ma Alexi era un vero fenomeno Non erano solo gli assoli, anche moltissimi dei loro riff sono davvero complessi

@@andreamantelliproductions Ah beh Alexi è il mio idolo della musica, un talento unico nel suo genere (a parte che fino a qualche anno prima della sua morte era anche "gagliardo", un vero god a vedersi) quindi raggiungere il suo livello non è facilissimo ;) Io suono da 3 anni e poco più quindi sto cercando piano piano di imparare sempre più roba (in questo momento sto studiando Hate Me e Bed Of Razors) però so anche che sarà un percorso bello lungo e intricato.
