I actually have one of Alexi's JVM's. When he ordered those, he ordered one extra for his bedroom amp which is was in reality for me. I was young mofo back then and Allu supported me heavily. I also have one Roope's ESP prototype random star and one of his old jackson RR custom.

This gear video is pure gold for many of us that chased his tone! A huge influence to an entire generation of metal musicians is an understatement. Forever in our hearts, the original Wild Child!

Great Video, Ola, and thanks for keeping the Legacy alive! Nice to hear you appreciating the Bodom Tracks. To me Alexi and COB is probably what Dime and Pantera means to you. Well prepared and performed!

Probably my largest guitar influence of the modern generation. Jimi made me pick up a guitar when I was 8, Alexi pushed me to get great.

Sick sound. Alexi was a minimalist with his gear. He let his skills speak for itself.

RIP Alexi. I wish I got to see him live before he passed. He was always one of my favorites since middle school but I was never big on going to concerts until after the pandemic ended.

Great tone, hellacious guitar.. Alexi would be stoked! It’s a shame we lost him so soon, would have been so cool to see him on your show man. I also didn’t listen to bodom much growing up, but have recently developed a huge amount of respect and appreciation for his music in recent years. Got to see them live back in 2008 on gigantour at merryweather post pavilion with JFAC, in flames, and megadeth.. extremely grateful for that experience

One of the coolest videos from Ola... badass sound, legendary musician, excellent amp, and kickass riffs in one video.

That high gain, spongey Marshall tone is just the best 🔥

Absolute chills! Thank you so much for this video Ola I’ll always remember getting my mind blown by this exact tone shaking the whole theatre I was in when Alexi’s sound tech walked his guitar out on stage just prior to their set starting to test chug open C for 10 secs. I never thought I’d quite hear it the same again.

absolutely love when Ola makes CoB/Alexi Laiho videos! Has been my favorite band since middle school and a big part of my life growing up.Thank you sir! Btw if ever in Finland they just opened a Children Of Bodom bar in Esbo/Espoo

The Man and the band that pulled me into metal music.Always will be my hero/heroes, always blasting CoB everyday when im going to work🤘🏻Thank you Ola for this amazing content!

Awesome video Ola! Finally the long waited episode of Guitar Gear, loving it! 🤘🤘

I'll never forget the day we lost him, as it fell on my birthday. Wish he was still with us. RIP, Wildchild🤘

So happy to see Ola doing a video on one of my favorite bands and guitarists. The playing was on point

Finally! been waiting for this! Thnx Ola! Great video!

That guitar gear sounds awesome Ola Children of Bosom Rock 🤘 RIP Alexi Laiho

You really nailed it on this video. Thank you Ola! I'm getting goosebumps when hearing that exact tone. Alexi was the guy who made me want to pick up the guitar.

Alexi was my intro into metal music

When you were talking about od1 and od2 being the same, you might have been thinking about the Joe satriani signature jvm. That was something he requested for his model.

Thank you Olda for doing this! RIP, Alexi the wild child

Glad to hear you've got more into the CoB. There is always something you can bring with you from Alexi's playing. Rock on 😎🤘

One of my favorite guitarist.. his playing, songwriting, stage presence and authenticity was so inspirational! Great video, and awesome to hear Ola is checking out and enjoying more CoB tracks!!🤟🔥

Saw COB in 2015 with Megadeth, nothing will ever top that show. RIP Alexi 🖤

I always loved that tone. Great job Ola!

Cool stuff as always, RIP Allu 🖤 Great choice of day for posting this, so happy Independece Day to Finland 🥳🥂🇫🇮

Absolutely love the cinematography on this video

Glad you came around to Children of Bodom. Amazing band. It'd be great to see you learning Alexi's solo's from the first two album.

thank you so much for this video Ola. Alexi was my personal hero along with chuck schuldiner. Ever since his passing its never been the same, just like with chuck and dimebag. RIP alexi and all the legends that left us

Greetings from your dear neighbor Finland Ola! Very nice video Finland´s Independence Day! Thank you Man!!

RIP Alexi! Legend!!

Alexi just wrote the perfect compositions. His performance was from another planet too. Absolute LEGEND

Killer playing, Ola!!! You nailed Alexi's tone and style! Thanks for doing this video! :-)

Aw man, _yeess_ I waited for that one! Alexi is one of those people that I discovered _way_ too late, but who ever since had an enormous influence on my guitar journey and everything surrounding it; Petrucci made me pick up the electric, but Alexi made me really _play_ ... Rest in fucking power Wildchild, may your legacy live on for a long, long time!

This is my favourite amp of all times..i love it and u made me really happy to hear it again

You really nailed Alexi's tone! Damn that is sooooo chunky. Your play style and the tone in the intro made me remember of the final solo of Hatebreeder. I'm still get goose bumps when I listen to it. That's a great tribute to a great guitarist gone too soon! Well done Ola.

I’m a 54 year thrash semi crappy guitarist who like yourself didn’t listen to them early on, but I’m really glad that I did hear them before I moved on because. The guy was good and had a good time doing what he loved. I happy I can hear it all now. Allways learning new riff etc and boy, was he full of them ! thrash on all. It’s worth the listen. Love ur stuff as well mr.ola. Keep it up. Thanks for all ur work my brother. Peace

Woooowww this was awesome can't tell you how much impact Alexi had on an old metalhead like me and how much he influenced my son Will

I was aware of COB and Alexi as a teen, I really liked his work in the Finnish super group The Local Band and listened to the album “Hexed”… but that was basically it. Until he passed it caught me by surprise like I’m sure everyone else did… dove into their earlier works, it was right up my alley, especially if I was younger lol… it’s a damn shame I didn’t get into them earlier… R.I.P. Alexi

Thank you, Ola. For honoring a legend. Rest in peace, Wildchild

Thank you for making this was waiting for this vid since you got the signature guitar

He did nail it. I would have been curious to hear a side by side of perhaps a stock LTD Arrow or something. He really nailed the COb tone, I wonder how much was in that booster he had installed? Cool show.

How cool is that, awesome, and unbelievable, cause just from yesterday I was thinking a lot about Alexi, and reminded myself some stuff about him, and here is Ola's new video, incredible how this energy flies through the space

His black and pink LTD is something I am still chasing all these years. I saw him with one in a Zzounds magazine I used to get back in 2007 and that's what lead me to look up Alexi. CoB immediately became a favorite of mine.

RIP ALEXI, awesome shredding Ola, you've really improved the last few years

Good call on getting the Alexi MM-04 booster installed, the midboost is essential for the Alexi sound. Don't be afraid to try different settings with the dipswitches. If I recall correctly, one of his techs mentioned online that he changed the settings around over the years to match different pickups and the 2+4 settings listed in the manual are old.

ty! RIP Alexi!! great vid as always Ola!

hell yeah. I was waiting for you to upload this

RIP Alexi. I was lucky enough to see them twice in a small-ish setting. His guitar tone is INSANE. I actually cannot believe that it's just EMGHZ into a JVM(more or less). It's in the hands, man.

@EclipseAtDusk

Жыл бұрын

That pre-amp boost does A LOT as Ola says - it’s not really any different than putting an overdrive before the amp like many metal guitarists do, just slightly different. Damn near every good driven guitar tone out there has *something* in between the guitar & amp pushing things - even Brian May of Queen

@SteelSkin667

Жыл бұрын

To be fair you can't really go wrong with a boosted HZ into a JVM, it's just a good combo. Although the JVM is a fairly late development in Alexi's career, he was using some fancy vintage rackmount stuff before that.

@Gloomshimmer

The HZ are quite nice an affordable pus, and theres to much gatekeeper mojo around boutique PUs. The HZ have a nice, not oversaturated distorted tones, but instead of emgs actives a usable cleantone. They handle distortion very good. But dont put to much focus on the pus. The cab is more interesting. Celestion greenback. Has more influence than the pickups on the whole sound.

I remember a few years ago during your live chats heavily recommending COB and you kept saying how they were too “happy” of a sound for you, glad you came around!!! Alexi was a legend of a shredder…

That playing is so badass. RIP Alexi.

Holy shit Ola, the tones and playing are on point here for real !

Alexi has been my number one inspiration since I discovered Bodom 17 years ago. I finally worked my way up to mastering the solo to Kissing The Shadows earlier this year, definitely the peak of my journey as a guitarist. Incredible that he wrote and recorded that (as well as countless other masterpieces) at such a young age. RIP Wildchild.

RIP to one of the Metal Gods. Thx for this one man. Alexi was a huge influence on me growing up.

Glad I found COB as a kid. RIP Alexi what a shredder. I've always wanted one of these guitars...

As much as I love and admire Alexi, it was refreshing to hear one of their songs played as tightly as you did in the intro.

A lot of his gear, including that white guitar from the thumbnail as well as his amps and pedals were on display in my hometown a month or two ago. Was really cool to see!

Sick!! R.I.P Alexi he's definitely missed!
