Alexi to be joined by 100 guitarists at Helsinki's Senate Square

Why was Alexi raping the whammy bar so much? IT was like he was trying to do his Steve Vai impersonation
 
LOL@ Alexi's look. Wut, no Henkka?

I had no idea this would be a 14-minute song. Lots of good stuff there, melodies, drums, solos. I hope they recorded this somehow on good audio. It would have made a good bonus on I Worship Chaos.

Alexi on the front stage all by himself most of the time, that wasn't right. For the video on the way in or out, they should've given every single guy and gal some screen time plus some post interviews how the guys felt up there.

But yeah, congrats to the 100.
 
If there weren't my Holiday starting today i would be loved to be there rockin with this guys! Maybe there will be an next time.
 
Congrats guys! I'm feeling a bit jealous now. Me idiot forgot to record that stupid guitar section :/

Yeah, you would be epic there, and now as I saw, it wasn't a difficult thing to do, so maybe I could try it too, but didn't have courage and time too, because of my finals.

Btw, with internet views there were more than 10k viewers.

You are also there: https://youtu.be/w3LckAiK8fE?t=18m59s
 
Does anyone have an idea of how many people where there ? That was a pretty big crowd and I am a bit curious to know about it.

Total number of people was 8000 according to Finnish Police, 4000 according to the Helsinki Festival. Most of them didn't fit in front of the stage though. Apparently of those 8000 only 1000 were close enough to see something.
 
And yeah Minttu is my second favorite beverage! Totally love it!

Dude. Pour it into cold cacao. Magical secret from my wild years. The memory of the taste... It was Autumn night 2005, summer house... man that was a crazy night. It'll be easy to take too much, so be careful but reckless.
 
That was pretty good for what you have to deal with from a technical to an organisational standpoint.

The song is pretty fun too, I would like to hear a cleaner version of it though, for easier listening.
 
Huh?



Wow, didn't expect that. The most I played in front of were almost 1.500 :lol:

Well that's pretty good already. I wish I had an audience like that. I've played live so often it doesn't really make me "scared" anymore but the crowds have been small. Where did you play with 1500 people? Most I've ever played for is around 200 or 300 at most (At a "Bändi Matinea" whatever it is in Enlish. Basically some music academy (Places where they give you lessons) make up some bands and then the bands play songs in the matinea thing).

Never tried Minttu (What is it really? :D), but I found that Strawberry vodka (15%) and strawberry juice mixed around 50/50 tastes very good while still having a decent amount of "content" in it. :)

Heh. Sounds familiar. I would have had all the time in the world to practice and everything but I was too nervous to do anything about it. Perhaps there was a bit of "They won't pick me anyway" feeling in it too. Now I'm feeling I should have done it regardless of any stupid nervousness or feelings. If for nothing else then just to get big headed about how I performed to over a thousand people. :D

38% mint liquor. You're too young to buy it in Finland but when you hit 20, go fucking buy a bottle. First time I was suffering hangover after drinking Minttu, I barely could brush my teeth without puking.
 
Best solo is Archie Cruz 's one from 46:55 to 47:43.
his solo fits Alexi soloing style very well and i would be happy if he joins COB.
