If I remember correctly I saw him with TLB only during 2018 tour in Finland.Don't know if there's any live footage of the keyboard guy playing for Local Band.

Yeah. Imagine CoB with a guitarist like Teemu Mäntysaari (Not sure about the spelling). This man is a beast compared to Laiho, especially when it comes to playing clean. I literally cannot imagine a COB concert where the soli are played well, since I've never seen it happen...
I've seen many old lives where he still butchers his solo. Sure, you can recognize the original, but the playing was still very sloppy.Literally every concert before Alexi broke his arm, around the time of AYDY I think, the solos were played well.
My identity is revealed now but this is my painting. With a friend we imagined an artwork for a COB album that could happen if they didn't break up. Pink is an underrated color tbh. It can be cold and melancholic too. It would be a dream come true if I could do artwork for Alexi's songs. (I have given him multiple artworks through the years, to show that his music inspires me) Probably never gonna happen but one can always dream. But well I wanted to let them know that pink theme would be great. Getting it shared on their instagram story felt amazing.
There was an interview where he admitted it did affect his playing. He also said they had to do a surgery on his shoulder because it turned out to be broken in multiple spots instead of just one. So he played with that shoulder for like 7 years before getting it fixed. Said it hurt to even move and he's had tp develop all kinds of weird playing positions just to not be in pain.We've had this broken shoulder/sloppy playing discussion before and as a guitarist I can tell you, that his shoulderf problem (we don't even know if there's any) doesn't affect your playing with regard to clean or sloppy. Apart from the fact that 95% of your playing comes from your hand and fingers - Alexi plays sloppy because he's hitting the wrong notes, forgot how to play this and that and improvises too much. What has this to do with his shoulder?!
