Alexi's Skill Decreasing?

[Ruins]

He sounds fucked.

!

 

[inhe]

He seems pretty sober to me, at least in that interview. But that much is obvious.

high and wasted != the same thing

but anyway, if you listen you will hear that he says "you know" a few times to many. But thats hardly proof enough.

 

[Rock Hydra]

He fucking farted. LOL.

Also, I think Alexi would not be my first choice of someone to take a guitar lesson from. His communication skills lack clarity.

 

[Lithium]

id like to get a lesson from Alexander.....in Finland

Does he speak proper english?

 

[Blindfold]

I like Living Dead Beat, In Your Face, Trashed, Lost and Strungout

fixxed and agree

 

[Blindfold]

I don't think I've come across any proper fanboys. I used to consier myself a huge fan but I never went over the top and I never claimed Alexi was the best or the faster guitarist because I know he's not.

He should stick this in a Children of Bodom song:

Ron Thal > Cooley

 

[Blindfold]

no, cooley is hells better

 

[<-Warheart->]

Yeah he really is.

I've seen those videos before, very impressive.

And there's nothing wrong with We're Not Gonna Fall.

 

[Blindfold]

haha kk. i just personally dont like it

 

[<-Warheart->]

It's got a kickass solo though...right?

 

[Blindfold]

hmm its hard and ok but i like the old solos more .

 

[<-Warheart->]

Ok cool.

 

[HateCrewDeathroll]

i like everything Alexi does

 

[Feel_The_Force]

I don't see the point in all that guitar wankery Cooley does.

 

[Hatebreeder]

hmm its hard and ok but i like the old solos more .

I have to agree with you there. His new solos aren't nearly as virtuosic and sometimes even seem out of place. They're also significantly shorter. I guess they wanted to focus mostly on the riffing for AYDY.

 

[jmbullet]

I don't think his skills are decreasing, I just think he just pays less attention to what he does nowadays (that guy drinks too much) so I guess he just doesn't care that much anymore. Like, on SW and HB all that stuff was kinda new to him so he spent a lot of time practising and I'm sure he was like more sober on gigs and he warmed up more and stuff

But now he is Alexi Laiho, I mean name a metal fan who doesn't know who he is... so he knows/thinks he has got fans who will always support him so he doesn't give a fuck and just writes

Hate crew deathroll wasn't that bad, but all the albums are better than AYDY, even though the 1st real cob song I heard was In Your Face

I think he's just too busy getting drunk to notice he's killing the COB spirit (less keyboard and shorter solos) and to do something about it

but who cares... I'll always love COB, maybe they won't be my favorite band forever but I could never hate them... even when Alexi becomes so old he can't even play anymore.

but that guy needs to stop drinking and smoking, hes gonna end up with cancer at 35 ...

 

[Hatebreeder]

Here's hoping he doesn't pull a Chuck Schuldiner on us (at least that wasn't his fault, though. But maybe the marijuana had something to do with it...)

 

[-[chop]-]

@jmbullet you just have to get used to that...they are Finnish...man Jaska drinks even more i think...

 

[jmbullet]

@ -[chop]-

of course I know Finns drink quite a fucking lot but he could drink a little less... not all Finns are always drunk...
