    The truth about COB break-up

    A lot of this was public knowledge, a lot wasn't. Glad it is finally out in the open, even if it is over a year since they said they would tell their side. There are parts left out but all they would do is tarnish Alexi's name. There is finally an answer wether the face mask picture was...

    TAB Thread.

    Here is a single guitar tab by Arcane, Mitch(Warheart) and myself that I made for my tab book. I used the Karaoke master tracks and referenced a lot of early live videos. It still needs a few corrections and I may have changed some positions to suit my playing, I couldn't decide to do it all the...

    TAB Thread.

    Hey, sorry for the late reply and lack of tabs. I've been super busy. Looking over the tab book there is still a lot to correct and the program I used to export the tabs, Soundslice, has a major bug that blurs parts of the tab which I'm waiting for them to fix. I'm going to make some tutorial...

    Correct and good ear! Not sure how I missed that when you can see it in the Seoul live video. If I ever did a commercial tab book for a band I’d have to get a bunch of people to look over it for any errors.

    TAB Thread.

    About 10 years late on this forum but I present the first Hatebreeder tab book. When Alexi passed away I thought it would be a good idea to buy anything Alexi related for future preservation like guitar magazines. I came across the Spinefarm Karaoke DVD which has isolated tracks for Warheart...

    Alexi passed away

    I recall Anssi saying there was no Bodom songs left from any of the albums he did and Alexi said a few times in interviews that COB didn't do B-sides. I'd love to know what they have to still be released. A best of live DVD would be awesome but with youtube those aren't really worthwhile anymore.

    The Children Of Bodom Gear Thread

    Ruokangas do incredible fretwork. His guitars would have played like butter after they re-fretted them. For most famous/touring musicians they don't have to care about stainless frets because they have a tech constantly polishing any oxidation off and get so many guitars that wearing down...

    Once in a Lifetime Opportunity to own Alexi's personal Guitar

    Is RockHouse still a thing? Last time I checked it was almost 10 years since they released a DVD. They were doing really well and then just stopped.

    Finally figured out how to play this one correctly from the Rockhouse and Young Guitar videos.

    The Children Of Bodom Gear Thread

    Does anyone know more about this guitar? I don't recall ever seeing it used live or in the studio. Maybe it was ordered by a fan.

    I've only down the solo from PTSWB: https://www.soundslice.com/slices/jRwDc/ I didn't like Payback's A Bitch enough to transcribe it out. I might do it if I get time this summer.

    Alexi's gear/rigs are up for auction

    Just chiming in to say nearly everyone is a bedroom guitarist now because of Covid. I’ve never understood that as an insult. People use to call Guthrie Govan a bedroom player who’d never play live. Are people not allowed to play as a hobby? Herman Li is an incredible player. He’s only a joke to...

    Alexi's gear/rigs are up for auction

    I didn't call him a touring musician. I said he was basically a touring guitarist for Wintersun which he is. He doesn't write or record with them.

    Alexi's gear/rigs are up for auction

    Temmu is an insane player but he isn't allowed write anything in Wintersun, that's Jari Maenpaa's baby so he's basically just a touring guitarist for them since Jari plays all the guitars on the album. Jari is an equally good player but his compositional skills on recent albums are questionable...

    Alexi's gear/rigs are up for auction

    If you compare his playing in the Young Guitar Passage to the Reaper video and the Alexi 100% or Alexi Are You dead Yet lessons you can how his playing slipped in just a few years. Lifestyle and injuries were to blame but on the other hand if Yngwie bounced back after a car accident and Jeff...
