Top 10 Alexi Laiho Solos
Музыка
I hope I do you justice, rest in peace hero.
Thank you for watching and sticking around this whole year.
Well that's my list...for like now.
I know, I actually missed out on some solos. I didnt include Sinergy just because I still got some other ideas for those solos. I'm preparing for that and I think this is going to be fun. So yes, Sinergy is coming. But not now.
And I know, AYDY maybe shouldnt be on this list, but you know what?
AYDY is one of their most popular songs and tbh its one of the solos you gotta start with on guitar cuz its not that hard.
Tie my rope? Just the interlude? well yes. Tbh thats a part that always ducked me up over the years, how absolutely amazing this is. Truely deserves a spot. Why not the solo? Well because I wouldnt pick the one you like. There are actually two recordings of tie my rope, and I like the "not album" version, but not enough to actually go onto this list.
Hatecrew Death Roll shouldve been on this list, I get it, but over the years, i never got the urge to "you have to abosolutely learn this". BUT thats true for each and every one on this list.
So here it is. And if you're wondering, the hardest is bodom beach terror if you ask me. Thats absolutely insane. I tapped one part cuz I have absolutely no idea how alexi could actually consistently alternate pick that...I mean thats sixteenth triplets at 145bpm. Alternate picked. Two notes per string. At that clarity. Thats absolutely nuts. If I getting to that speed for that, i let you know and revisit that part. Sometimes you gotta do work arounds if you get stuck.
And thats absolutely fine.
Anyways.

Thank you! I'll put that later in the description :)
Man, you just RIP through these. Incredible playing. Laiho really wrote the best solos in metal, didn't he?
Living Dead Beat, Bodom Beach Terror and Kissing the Shadows are absolutely iconic solos. Perfectly played too, well done. RIP Alexi
Towards Deadend and The Nail would have been dope, but I know Alexi loved every moment of this. Great job dude
You were my hero when I was a teenager... I haven't heard heavy metal a long time ago but I heard that Alexi passed away a few years ago and I couldn't believe it.... You were a very important part of my life cause I wanted to play like you and be in a band like you... Rest in peace
If ever COB/BAM decides to do a tribute show for Alexi with someone else standing in as a singer (and I hope they do), I believe that you would be the best candidate

Well. I could absolutely do the vocals 😂 check my other videos of you like...but...this will never happen. I mean alexi was COB, was BAM...like there would be a lot of hate from people if they choose to do this. I guess at least. I don't know. I wouldn't even know if i would accept. Tough talks about something that will probably never happen. In the end I'm actually just a nobody on the internet.

BTW, like last week Henkka/Jaska/Janne said that there will be no tribute show, because Alexi wouldn't have wanted that
WOW. Only after second solo I have realized that this is actually somebody else than original Alexi. Great work.
At first I didn't notice that it wasn't Alexi playing but then the tattoos made me take a closer look! Man your playing is flawless!
Dude it took me until the second solo to realize it wasn't actually Alexi himself sitting there and playing. Like I legit thought ''So this guy is showing Alexi doing the solo first and then himself?? I was so confused x) But these solo's were amazing maybe the best I've ever seen someone cover them!
This needs way more views, Alexi is smiling down from heaven….from which he was supposedly banned from
Great Camera Quality, tone and of course heavnly playing. I'm so impressed! Amazing! Subbed :D 🤘🏻🖤💕

Dude I’ve been an Alexi fan for 20 years now. I agree with your solo pics I love each one you did. You play flawless perfect. I’ve been playing guitar 28 years and Metallica pantera bodom been my influences and you play it so well. Very impressed and great choices. Rock on dude. Keep them coming
Thank you for this beautiful tribute bro. Rock on!!!
I love this Feels like him..
Amazing tribute!❤️. He will be missed 😢. Unfortunately I found out over a year late, had no clue. A life cut short, unfortunately we won't be able to see what he really could've achieved, collabs or the new project. Definitely his legacy will live on, he had an amazing gift. This is the best tribute I've found, you're an amazing artist! 👏

Kissing the shadows.......best guitar solo ever.....rip alexi...
Damn, you destroyed that sh!t. Very impressive work my man, keep it up. Also, thumbs up for putting Kissing the shadows on nr.1, I personaly think that one is the best solo from all of their albums. Also, the end of The Nail is very nice, maybe include that one next time!
omfg! a tribute? you have just impersonated him! Fucking amazing dude!
Dude I fully agree with your description, all of these solos give me the feeling "I need to learn it". Awesome playing, nice tone and two beautiful guitars. Great job dude! Hopefully I'll be able to learn most of these solos this year. I just started to play guitar consistently. I've had a guitar for like 4 years but I have always been super on/off with it. Basically playing for 2 days to a week and then not even touching it for months. I just decided to pick it back up a few weeks ago after not playing for almost 8 months or something like that. Feeling really inspired to learn all the bodom stuff right now. Have a good day man!

Practice and playing is just so satisfying and beautiful, I'm glad you getting a tighter schedule. And that's I'm all about. This channel is just for the purpose to entertain people and maybe motivate some to pick up their guitar more regularly and start having fun with that.

Glad you popped up in my feed! Damn fine job on these bangers, kissing the shadows is still a standout, that things nasty. I don't think there is really a way to choose "the best" solo, however there is one that still stands out to me to this day, I don't know what he was feeling in the studio that day, but you know it was something heavy, when recording the solo for All for Nothing. Truly beautiful.

so much joy during your vid. so much cries when it came the end, with this picture of alexis's smile. I'm listening his music almost everyday of my life. can't stop hearing this shit! I feel so alive when I'm listening his music. the annonce of his death was like a bad dream, i'm waiting for waiking up since. like I said before, your covers are so energy powerfull and generous, some kind of same energy as Alexis's. thank you for all of that stuff! take care bro.

Thank you for you lovely words 💜 i hope it will get better.

That's a great tribute to Alexi from you. Excellent job! I moved to Spain last NOV, but visited Finland (my mom's homeland) for Christmas. Couldn't help it, I made "a pilgrimage" to Alexi's grave(took some flowers with me and left them there) and also to his residence in Vuosaari, where, unfortunately, he passed away. This had a very emotional effect on me, esp visiting his grave. Anyways, If you had to choose to play one COB solo in public, what would it be? I know I'm asking a lot, but this really interests me. Awesome combo of Alexi's "immortal" solos and you covered them excellently. Happy new year to you! ✨ Keep up the good work & videos, I always watch them, most often several times a video. All the best ♥️ te mando un fuerte abrazo! Saludos desde Las Palmas, España 💜

Thank you for that! 🙏🏻💜 One solo in public? Hm. That's tough and depends i guess. I mean kissing the shadows is a killer guitar solo but you can mess up alot along the way. So I actually got to go with the not my funeral solo. It's soooo well written and not that tough to play live. So yeah. I guess it would be not my funeral.

Absolutely devastating loss for the music scene. Like i get it, there were far more superior musicians in terms of "crazyness" eg Jason Richardson BUT alexi was able to make really good songs, harmonies, structures, technicality etc. It was just perfect that mix of a really good song in general and his playing style and techniques. Truly a big loss. Still hurts and I guess it will always do.
I’m late af, but I must say loved every second of it!! The list should be top 100 because I loved every single note he made, but joke aside kudos to the guitarist, you rock! Also, I remember when Chester passed away, the way he died and all, it hit me hard, but I have never in all my life hurt so bad as when Alexi passed… even to this day every now and then I just cry nonstop while listening to CoB.. he was my favorite musician after all…
Props for the Sioux City Sarsaparilla solo! I love that shit. Nice guitar too btw!

@@DaniTheDead definitely! I never reaaaally understood the hate it got. But i only can guess. The mix is way off standard metal recordings (but i absolutely love the mix on that album, killer job!) and the overall song structures and writings are a bit chaotic, but in a good way. Nothing except not my funeral got that "catchy" riff/melody from the start. You gotta listen to it over and over again to appreciate what they came up with. In more casual terms: it's too complicated to "just listen and relax", you gotta listen to it carefully. But that's just my observation i did over the years. Most people can't even articulate why they dislike certain things. They just do.
