About 10 years late on this forum but I present the first Hatebreeder tab book.
When Alexi passed away I thought it would be a good idea to buy anything Alexi related for future preservation like guitar magazines. I came across the Spinefarm Karaoke DVD which has isolated tracks for Warheart, Towards Dead End and Children of Bodom. I tabbed most of Bodom when I was a teenager but with the experience I have now and all the available high quality live videos I thought I'd put together a few single guitar tab books for my personal use. It's a bit rushed since I put it together in a weekend. Using the tabs here as a basis I put my own corrections over them referencing live videos where possible and using the Spinefarm karaoke tracks. I'm pretty happy how it turned out and will start on FTR or HCDR when I get time.
Not wanting to step on anyones toes but I have the firm belief it takes two people to make a tab. If there is interest I'll upload some of the corrected tabs here when I get time. Warheart, Hatebreeder and Children of Bodom are the songs on the net with the most errors but I noticed a number of parts in Silent Night Bodom Night that have never been tabbed correctly. Some parts on the album are very hard to decipher from the mixing so there is a bit of guesswork in places.
When looking at new videos its clear that Alexi relearned a lot of the older songs since he's playing them incorrectly and in different places on the neck to what the did in earlier live videos. Whats interesting is I noticed he used some of the tabs on Ultimate Guitar to relearn some of his own songs and not even the more accurate tabs.
Another thing I noticed is Janne gets some of the harmonies and even melodies wrong. In Black Widow he plays a few patterns that stick out in the mix but when you listen closely you can hear what Alexi actually intended.
For so little editing done on this album, Alexi was an incredibly tight player in his youth. I wish there was studio videos from back then so we could see Alexi in his prime shredding those solos. How he and the rest of the Bodom lads wrote Hatebreeder at the age of 19/20 is mind-blowing.
