And did you know this:
Fenrir: Ok, here's a slightly off topic question...I know now...it's an endorsement question, I figured I'd get an equipment question in...I know you're endorsed by ESP...if Jackson ever offered you a really sweet deal, would you ever go back to them?
Alexi: They did. They did like 3 times already .
Fenrir: Really?
Alexi: Yeah. They did. You know? the thing is, when that whole thing happened, when my guitars were stolen, they didn't give a fuck. Ok, I was never really endorsed by them...like I have done so much stuff for Jackson, you know...promoting for free, saying 'I play Jackson guitars', on the album covers. I just got discounts from the shop, in Helsinki, were importing Jackson at that time. But anyway, when Jackson changed owners to Fender, they didn't give a fuck, and you know ESP, they just hooked me up like that. And then, it was a funny thing, when I got my ESP guitars, a guy from Jackson called me up and was like "yeah, I heard what happened, you want us to make guitars for you?" I'm like-it's too fucking late right now. You didn't give a shit back then, so fuck you.
