Where else does Alexi play?

[DarkNoise]

He's just damn good, period. I personally like Petrucci, Vai, and Yngwie better, but that's just me. But like someone else posted, Alexi's just 23, he's got many years ahead. I have no doubt he'll become one of the best ever, as long as he keeps at it, which.. why the hell wouldn't he?

Check out this Michael Angelo video if you want to see some insane guitarplaying! :

Alexi is my fav guitarist. It is mainly becasue his stuff is what I enjoy listening to the most, not becasue he is the fastest/best guitarist there ever was. Lately I have been getting into Symphony X and Michael Romeo who I would consider a better more experienced guitarist that Alexi...

 

[Sympozium]

Silent Downfall I agree. Sure that dude can shred, but I personally find that fucking boring!

As far as i know he's also in Norther......not sure tho.

Nah, he and Ale just featured on one of the tracks. Pretty sure its the cover song on the single.

No, Alexi actually was on the Norther album, doing some background shouts.

Alexi is great guitarist, but he's not the best. There much more better guitarists than Alexi. Like Gary Moore, Jimmy Page, John Petrucci, Brian May..etc etc...

 

[rnHatred]

Think some of you begin to forget about Jason Becker
He were a exellent guitarist, better than Alexi at his age...
But for sure Alexi is my favorite - his guitariste playing on the chord and his melody - the emotion in his scream and music are so nice... well .... u see ?

as well as Chuck Shuldiner

Chuck wote excellent riffs and songs (easily one of my favorite songwriters ever), but his solos weren't extremely technical when compared to guys like Alexi, Michael Romeo, Steve Vai, etc.


RIP Chuck.

Tolkki did like many "old" guitarist and got stuck to a technical point (malmsteen plays the same solo since 20 years , best exemple) as far as Laiho (without any typo this time) is concern
hes getting better and better (the kissing the shadow solo is
awesome) and its pretty sure he will keep on improve. Chuck Shuldiner solos on symbolic are definetly something.
