Jari is better than Alexi but not that extremely better, at least in guitar playing. Vocal-wise yes, but I didn't say Alexi is better, I said Jari is boring for me (singing,not playin, playing can't be boring in anyway,he's too much creative and has enough abilities not to be repetitive). Alexi doesn't play anything extremely hard in COB, because he has always said that he doesn't compose his solos to astound people, he wants to compose things people (not only musicians/players, but everyone) can apreciate and like (his dream he has said that would be people singing along the melody of Bodom solos). But he has the ability. He has proved it in Sinergy and in solos like the one in Hate Crew Deathroll. I don't think Jari is a lot over Alexi.He's a bit better, but not much. And I don't think he is much better than Roope, too.
