COB Interviews

[(__Joonas__)]

From Alexi's wikipedia profile:

"In April of 2005 Alexi generated a considerable amount of unrest in the metal guitar community when, in an interview with Guitar World magazine, he referred to popular prog metal act Dream Theater as "super lame" going on to say "It's not even music; it's sports." The magazine also referred to Dream Theater as Laiho's "favorite whipping boys." In January 2006 issue of the same magazine, reader Brad Bailey asked "Why did you make those lame comments about Dream Theater in GW? You're a fine player, but comments like those just make people lose respect for you. Did you know it caused a big stir?" to which Laiho responded "Fuck. Well, apparently it did. First of all, I think it's really funny that people trash bands and musicians every day on the internet, and nobody gives a shit. But once you say something like that - which wasn't even too bad - in a magazine, all of a sudden you're the biggest dick on the earth. But truthfully, I don't know why I said that. I was having a bad day or something. Obviously, John Petrucci is a better player than I am and it isn't my place to talk shit about him." However, John Petrucci replied "I'm better than Alexi?! Of course not. If I am, that would mean that I'm the best guitarist in the world! That guy can play fast solos while he's drunk!"."

Well.. no matter how technical shit Dream Theater would make, Alexi would still write 4 times more kickass songs by using simple chugging riffs only.

^I'm sure Alexi still thinks Dream Theater are lame, he just won a lot of fans back by swallowing his thoughts and saying that kind of emo crap. The dude from Dream Theater was intelligent tho and should get credit for being fair and stating the fact aloud that Alexi deserves more respect than him.

So what exactly is emo about showing some respect to a better musician, even though his band is worse? I'd say that takes a lot of balls.

Looks at his fingers. I mean I see a lot of people doing this because i'm working in a store where you can buy drinks. This impression + what he says are a kind of sad to even if he said this was over after the last tour.
(I don't want to start a rumour so I left out what "this" means, but you will see what I mean.)
