I don't think that Alexi does write every note from keyboard solos. Most parts of them are probably improvised/written by Janne.

Why should they? Children of Bodom = Alexi
He probably write the complete music except bass and drums. I don't think that he will tell Henkka what he should play when it's clear that all he must do is just write a bass line under the existing song. Same with Jaska. Maybe he asks him if he could do some fillers or some babooms here 'n there.

ON THE SOLOS TOPIC:
No, Alexi doesn't tell Janne what to play. Of course he does show him dual solos that he has written and both have to play alike and such, but Janne's solo spots are all on Janne afaik.
Yep, he's said many times that he writes the song and sometimes tells Jaska to do one particular fill because he thinks it fits best or he just likes it, but that most of the time he's open to ideas and to what they want to bring into his song.
Nope. You have some basics (you're not gonna be writing completely different notes and modes and all in both), but no way is it written. A bass that it's exactly the same as the guitars it's fucking boring. Handy but boring.

I think that I've read in an interview with Alexi and Zarok that Alexi said that he also write the solos for Janne. I'm not sure if it's just a basic idea for the solos where Janne build on but I'm pretty sure that Alexi said this in an interview
Found this yesterday. It's a bit older (and I guess it's flosting around somewhere in the interviews thread), but it's still somewhat realted to the issue:
Karma: How has your song writing changed since the Something Wild days?
Henkka: Probably it has changed more as in a democratic way within the band. Alexi has all of the main ideas but as a band, we can structure them and we can split them in different parts and do it together. With Something Wild, it was pretty much Alexi who completed the songs, and then he showed them to us. Nowadays its different, we can all share our experiences and put our own stuff in there too.

I'm not saying that,i just wanted to tell you that once you have the guitar part,writing the bass aprt is relatively easy...at least you have something you can follow...

I read that too, but I'm sure he explained it wrong. There's no way Laiho could play some of those keyboard solos... I think he means the duel solos?
