Seriously, you guys should read teen magazines and argue if Justin Timberlake or Nick Carter is sexier.
Northern Comfort or Lobodomy?

"Lack of will to understand" amirite? 
I'll explain it to you
1) He's cooler
2) better player
3) gives Alexi more chances to compose
4) more epic
5) way better onstage
6) he's a fucking legend
He didn't say these reason was why he was a better guitarist but:
"Roope pwns Ale in all aspects."
anyway

yeah, yeah I know. but just the fact that he's judging someone by "how cool" they are, is just retarded. it's like grow up already.

Not really, we tend to think that "to be cool" means to be liked by the others (like the cool people at school were the populars one etc) but I think what he meant was just the attitude of roope is "cool", he's always relaxed and... that's hard to explain the "old brother" feeling that Roope got, that it's like he never panic and always got thing in control.
"Cool" people are the type of people that seems to never make mistake, which is probably because they are calm and take their time, but actually I think that's a worthy enough aspect of someone's personality to use it as a base of judgment.

After reading a lot of his previous posts and getting to know his attitude a bit, I highly doubt that's the definition of "cool" he intended. trust me on this one

And how much do you know of Ale's playing? Have you heard Alexander playing his own stuff, or Sinergy stuff? Just give us something real that shows how good Ale actually is or are you just guessing?
I have heard Roope playing Bodom, Sinergy Stone, Waltari and TDF songs @live (iot of songs composed by him) and Ale, well I have seen him with cob and Timo Rautiainen. But I don't know anything about guitar playing so my opinion would be invalid.
Ok this was a bullet in the own leg since Alexi and Ale wrote Bed Of Razors together.. but children of COB's point is still valid, even if Ale was more a guitarist who played with feel rather than technique, his contribution to song writing was fairly minimal as 94% of it came from Alexi. But still it's a joke to compare Ale with Roope, I hope people understand this.

I prefer Ale, and I think he's underrated but Roope is really a better guitarist.
If he's cooler or more badass or whatever I don't know and I don't care.

I prefer Ale for he fits better his role in the band. He is sucha great guitarist and i shit upon the head of people who says that he's not good as Roope because they've never seen him doing such tings. If he doesn't manifest such skills (wich he has) means not that he's not able to do that. Check out the live Hellion solo for example.
And btw: if you say that Roope is cooler you are just homosexual (no offense just a statement)

I think he has a characteristic appearance and knowing his playing skills I admire watching him on stage.

Ok there's a missunderstanding here: I wrote that stuff, only that I don't know what Arcane did while posting but he erased some of the quote tags and now appears as if he had written that, but it was me, so I'll explain why I say Roope is ''cooler'':
His stage presence (which for me in a band is quite important because can transform a show from a really boring one to a kickass one, it's not the same to see a band only standing there playing than seeing them having fun and headbanging and shit like that) is waaaaaay better than Ale's, he makes a lot of cool variations to the original parts of the songs and plays cool licks he comes up with while Ale would be always stuck with the same things, he's funnier (watch Roope talking drunk and then try to find something alike by Alexander, and don't come to me with the excuse that there's no DVD with Ale: f.e. Roope's karaoke is on Youtube, not on CRY).
Those, plus the fact that (even if Rayden swears that has seen Ale playing Necrophagist while watching a movie or something like that to try and prove what isn't true) Roope is a better guitar player and gives COB more room to eplore while composing are the reasons why I prefer Roope. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an Alexander hater neither I was happy when he quit back in 2003, but seeing how Roope is now I have no regrets about that.
Thanks Miia!
Ok Joonas, I know that Ale co-wrote Bed Of Razors, but we all know that COB's music is done by Alexi and I'm 99% sure that Bed Of Razors would have been the same or something in the same line if Ale hadn't contributed. The fact that Ale helped Alexi to write Bed Of Razors (and we don't even know which was his contribution, if it was the main melody or a riff in between or what the hell) isn't such a thing as to come and start comparing Ale and Roope.
I do agree and I think everyone in here agrees too about the fact that Ale was underrated, but one thing is being underrated and another is saying that Roope isn't way better than him.

I've checked Hellion's live solo, and tbh I've seen way better things from Roope. Do you know by any chance a band named Stone? I suggest that you take a look at it and see what Roope did. A band called Sinergy?
Man Ale was underrated, it's ok, we all know that, but even if he was underrated Roope is still better than him. You can't just say that we can't say he's worse because there's nothing from Ale to prove his skills. Haven't you thought that maybe the reason why there isn't such a thing is because Ale doesn't have those skills? I'm not saying he was bad, of course he wasn't, but Roope is way better, and Roope happens to have stuff to prove that.

I know Stone and i know Sinergy (i was on stage with them). Roope is an amazing skilled guitarist however i don't like his playing stile and mood so much. a guitarist is not only made by guitar skills.
Haven't you thought that maybe the reason why there isnt' such a thing is because Ale does not wanted to display his skills? He was just the rhytim player, and he was amazing, just underrated because he was the "good fella rhytim player". The world is not made by spot or by public demonstrations, there maybe is more than meets the eye.
Sorry for my bad english.
Have any of you have actually listened Timo Rautiainen album "Sarvivuori" where Ale is playing? I mean people have opinions of him playing at COB, Roope playing cob, stone, sinergy etc. but I haven't seen any real comments about Ale's contribution outside COB. Iirc he played couple of solos on that album too.
According to Ale he had lot of freedom when recording guitars to that "Sarvivuori" album so maybe it sounds more like "true Ale" than what Alexi wanted him to sound.
edit: oh yeah and I voted Northern Comfort because I have "great" memories of Souther Comfort. Songs feels much more personal to me than Lobodomy.

^No I haven't but I will, thanks!
A guitar player isn't made by skills? Then what makes a guitar player? The looks of his guitar? His persona? WTF dude? A guitar player is made by his skills and how he uses them, and Roope is better than Alexander in everything in that field. Face it man.
