Alexi Laiho's signature guitar

They're both good at what they both do. Alexi is a much more accomplished shredder than Randy was. Besides, I'll probably get flamed majorly for this but I reckon Randy is a case of "he died too early and he did some good things so he's better than everyone automatically". *runs away now*
 
van halen and rhoads among others invented the whole shreddingthing.
and this shreddingthing has gone to far, everyone is trying to be fast as a rabbit fucking but they miss the whole point. i mean, rhoads was a classical educated guitarplayer. i still love alexi's music and playing but you know. if you do a solo like the two in mr. crowley you should be worshipped forever. :)

and if "rhoads did some cool stuff but died and now he's the best". what the fuck is hendrix then? :)
