    It's just a custom shop guitar based off the Alexi that ESP made a very small limited run of (or maybe just one, not sure). But yeah, not a sig or a production guitar, or even for Alexi. Just a custom shop showcase. They also did one just like that, but in white.

    I think it's disrespectful and absurd to make judgment calls and assumptions about the personal life and decisions of someone you don't even know. That said, I hope he recovers soon.

    When a band is recording an album, they almost always use a combination of different amps in order to achieve the best tone they can. Live shows are an entirely different story.

    Exactly. I, as well as others apparently, really wish you would just chill the fuck out. And this has nothing to do with your particular opinion of the music either. It's great that you care about the band and their music, but you seriously need a hobby, or something to make you gain a little...

    Sharing pictures of their personal lives and people close to them is way out of line. Out of respect and human decency, take them down.

    Are you fucking kidding me? Ok, I wasn't going to say anything about speculating beyond the point of healthy fandom, because when that bothers me, I can just stop reading and anything said wouldn't change your mind anyway. But this? Like Crzy_Aus said, you might as well argue that you...

    In case you didn't know, "someone up there" is an expression for a higher power/God, implying (usually jokingly, like in this case) that bad luck/injury/etc is caused by this.

    Loved it. And it's exactly what they said it would be. A fun, catchy single. A party song. And as those things were correct in their observation, I'm sure it's also different from the rest of the album, like they also said.

    Well then there you go, AYDY and BD were definitely more popular in the US (not sure about Europe, or elsewhere).

    I can understand what you're saying, but keep in mind that music can be catchy without being superficial. A song with hook and catchiness can still have depth. Also, where have you gotten that information? If you mean they've sold more up to now, they've been around a lot longer, and have had...

    Sounding more American isn't necessarily irreconcilable with also having an "old-school Bodom" sound. It depends on your own perspective.

    The Children Of Bodom Gear Thread

    That's a pretty sweet find. Unless it just so happens to be the actual guitar, which is extremely unlikely of course, someone put in a great deal of work to make it so close to the original Wildchild guitar - the gold hardware, pickup. Unlike a limited RR24, it has a white logo (as opposed to...

    Guitar Player's Thread

    Having seen them play from behind the stage (or side-stage) a few times, there definitely is no 3rd guitar being played live. They use backtracks, just like they've always done for the synth parts as well.

    I think UG.com might have some decent ones. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/bullet_for_my_valentine_tabs.htm

    Also, regardless of which one is "better" (matter of personal taste), the FTR chord progressions might seem more immediately distinct due to them being more simple. Not a bad thing, just different. And if you listen closely, or learn them on guitar, Blooddrunk and Smile Pretty (as well as most...
