Children Of Bodom

[JacksonRR3guy]

lol Bodom has horrendus lyrics anyway. No offense to Alexi but he writes terrible lyrics. And I can understand most of what he says after listening to harsh vocals for long enough. Personally, I think harsh vocals pale in comparison to good clean vocals like Maiden, but I think bands like Wintersun do an excellent job of mixing them.
Thank you

[Shadows]

What album's that? I'm not into black metal, and as a result never got into Dimmu, but I'd like to hear some stuff by the band before making a judgement on them.
Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. It's like a really atmospheric Cradle of Filth album. Very unique melodies.

Their early stuff was very symphonic, but hardly worth of being labeled "black" metal. Their new stuff...is just bad. It's like they'd rather have a blesphemous image and use an orchestra than actually play their instruments.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Female singers?
Like Otep?

[Shadows]

I always found Maiden's vocals a tad irritating...

My preference of vocals: female singers in metal. No matter how they sing, they pull it off great.
My thoughts exactly. Just replace female singers with...most anything (not big on female vocals, unless it's Arch Enemy). Preferrably early Bodom/Norther/black metal shrieking.

:amaze:

I rather liked Death Cult Armageddon...i thought they used the orchestra to great effect. It enhances quite a few of their songs.

And image is the whole ****ed point of black metal. Without the image, black metal would be a whole lot worse. It's as important a function as the style of music.

Female singers?
Like Otep?

Kind of a crappy example, but yes. Better example would be Nightwish.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Back on subject. When is COB's next US tour?

[Hells Bells]

Here's your basic Bodom lyrics breakdown:

1. It always involves either the Bodom murders, death, pain, or something pointy

2. Expect to hear curses in the song. (these you can always pick out)

There you go. Now you're all set. :thumb:

EDIT: He could always try traditional power metal...


Bodom with power metal lyrics.....that would be priceless :lol:

But I sincerely hope they never do that lol, the epic/Tolkein/flowery?/dragons&swords thing wouldn't work for them. At all.

[IheartSP]

lol shadows fallen that actually made me laugh.

Personally I hate female singers in metal. From what I have heard of Nightwish, Sinergy, and Dark Moor, it really just isn't my thing.

you sitting at your computer with your guitar too? :lol: i seem to do that a lot

[Shattered_Future]

:amaze:

You guys need a crash course...(**** I've been saying that a lot).

Try Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Arch Enemy, Estuary, Lunatica or Flowing Tears for some decent vocals.

Also, The Gathering and Elfonia work rather nicely too...although they aren't as metal, they still kick epic ***.

EDIT: Me too...come to think of it, i do most of my guitar playing on the computer.

[Shadows]

And image is the whole ****ed point of black metal. Without the image, black metal would be a whole lot worse. It's as important a function as the style of music.
But that's my point! Dimmu Borgir is not black metal!!! They can have whatever the hell image they want, but it doesn't change the music. They opt to go for symphonic music, but I think in DCA they went too far with the orchestra and sort of forgot that they're supposed to play metal with their blasphemy.

[AA-12]

Maybe I Alexi just played lead and they found a new singer someone between David Dramer (disturbed) and Jesse Leech(killswitch engaged)...I don't know it's just a thought.
.....

Those two singers are pretty bad. Bodom wouldn't be Bodom without Alexi singing.

Anyway, i'm currently downloading the new Warmen album.

[JacksonRR3guy]

How many people actually know all the names of the members of COB.

[Shadows]

How many people actually know all the names of the members of COB.
I'm sure most of us do.

Alexi Laiho, Henkka T. Blacksmith, Jaska Raatikainen, Janne Warmen, Roope Latvala.

:lol: C'mon dude, you're not seriously going to waste your money on that over-priced peice of **** are you? You could buy a $500 Jackson and be getting a guitar of equal value.

You people make me sick. LEARN THEIR LAST NAMES!!!

[Shattered_Future]

I'm still saving for a ESP Wildchild Sig guitar...3600 bucks and its mine.

You do realize you're paying at least 1000 extra for the name, right?

You could get the same guitar, without the signature, for a LOT less.

[JacksonRR3guy]

if i were you i would get the jackson one...im not sure where you can get that though
Japan and only Japan (new) unless previously owned.

[Forlorn Hope]

I really don't know how that happens but I guess I'm A.D.D. because I keep changing subjects on myself...
bout your name...my friend is getting an rr3....cant wait till he lets me play it :D kinda off subject but oh well

[Shadows]

More like $2000. If it didn't have Alexi's name on it, NO ONE would buy it. I still miss the beauty of his old Jacksons. :upset:

[IheartSP]

Jaska's last name is the only one I never remember because its so hard to spell. The rest I have an easy time with, but I don't know Henkka's real last name, Blacksmith is a nickname.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I know I have a RR3 but Id be the only metal head on the block to own one.

[Hells Bells]

lol shadows fallen that actually made me laugh.

Personally I hate female singers in metal. From what I have heard of Nightwish, Sinergy, and Dark Moor, it really just isn't my thing.

From the bands you listed, it sounds like it's the clean/operatic female vocals that bug you. Try Arch Enemy, Angela Gassow's vocals are awesome (she growls by the way), good enunciation and a lot of variation. When I first heard her, it's hard to decribe the shock of finding out THAT was coming from a chick :amaze:

[IheartSP]

The ESP Alexi Signature is worth less than $700 if you ask me, but over $2000? Ridiculous! There are so many better guitars for such a lower price.

[Shattered_Future]

More like $2000. If it didn't have Alexi's name on it, NO ONE would buy it. I still miss the beauty of his old Jacksons. :upset:

I personally like my Squier Fat Strat...the tone on that thing is SWEET.

However, I love my Heritage Les Paul even more...that thing has the fattest tone I've ever heard on a guitar.

[Forlorn Hope]

be a lot easier to buy a black rhoads and put the pinstripe and wildchild sticker on yourself...but then theres still the gold hardware...but still overall would basically be the same guitar for a lot less...........or possibly i have no idea what im talking about :rolleyes:

[JacksonRR3guy]

COB went from Jackson to ESP b/c Jackson ripped them off

[Shadows]

The ESP Alexi Signature is worth less than $700 if you ask me, but over $2000? Ridiculous! There are so many better guitars for such a lower price.
I couldn't believe what a ripoff that guitar is. I'm still having trouble believing Alexi would play something like that. I'd be willing to bet that my guitar is better, and I payed around $800 for it.

In case you couldn't tell, I really hate his signature series.
COB went from Jackson to ESP b/c Jackson ripped them offAlexi went from Jackson to ESP because his Jacksons were stolen on tour and ESP offered him a better deal.

[IheartSP]

I know Arch Enemy, and I say that doesn't count because if no one ever told me it was a girl I probably wouldn't have figured it out for a long time. Personally if someone is doing harsh vocals or growling it's really all kind of the same. Well growling I like some better than others but when it comes to harsh vocals like Bodom, Wintersun, Norther, their vocals all sound extremely similar.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I wouldn't mind having the ESP bass that blacksmith plays and just slap a COBHC sticker on it

[JacksonRR3guy]

The Jackson LL Sig was never played by any members.

[Shadows]

Check out the RR5 (I would KILL for one). It's the excact same thing as Alexi's. Gold hardware and everything. Just put a Wildchild sticker on it and there you go.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I'm not a real big fender fan but I think when Fender bought Jackson in 02 they started to produce better jacksons

[JacksonRR3guy]

i thought the rr5 was a string thru...also though it had a little triangular tailpiece...at least it did in my music123 magazine

[Shadows]

Fender bought out Jackson and Jacksons have been consistently downhill ever since. Even cheap Jacksons back in the day were excellent instruments, but now even the expensive ones will have a blatant lack of craftsmanship. But that doesn't mean they don't own every other brand of guitar out there right now.

[JacksonRR3guy]

the rr3 has a metal pickguard too and i dont think the rr5 has one...i may be wrong

[JacksonRR3guy]

I just don't like that fender laquers the necks of the strats and teles

[Shadows]

The only diff between RR3 and 5 is the Floyd Rose
Floyd Roses are a pain in the ***. The locking keeps the guitar in tune forever, but it's such a hassle to downtune.

[JacksonRR3guy]

ur right

[Shattered_Future]

I love the body style of the Fender Stratocasters though.

You can't get a better body style than that...its easy to handle and lightweight.

[Hells Bells]

Jaska's last name is the only one I never remember because its so hard to spell. The rest I have an easy time with, but I don't know Henkka's real last name, Blacksmith is a nickname.

Henri's (his real name, Henkka's just a nickname too) is Seppala, it means Blacksmith in english. You can get this kind of info from http://www.endlesswar.net/SOB/index.php aka scythesofbodom.com, it's been mentioned in this thread.

No! I think most Fenders are ugly. And besides that, many brands have great hardware. Then when you consider that I don't think Fenders sound that great I am 100% justified in never buying one.

Carlo Robelli has some nice sound, youll probably get some beef over it , Other wise another cheap or I should say inexspensive guitar is a brownsville, actually the bat is the only one that sounds good.

There you go. Alexi's accent makes me laugh :lol:Thanks. It's loading right now.

[Thor]

Video is loading now, I can't imagine Alexi having a Canadian accent. :lol:

[AA-12]

His accent is classic. Fast and shhhlow.. :lol:

Again, I haven't tried it, so I won't know how well it will work. Enjoy the video :p

[Moses]

The keyboardist pwns Alexi.

[hethamulburton]

Yes but Alexi sings and plays guitar, that is what most people in this world care about, I guess. I agree, the keyboard guy shreds on an instrument with even sized keys, all laid out, that's ****ing hard.

[AA-12]

Anyone can be the fastest at their instrument though. Alexi writes all the keyboard music, so technically he's better.

[flamesofbodom]

Yeah, look at Yngwie. Nothing new at all, just sped up blues. But then there's Jeff Beck. He doesnt play fast and makes beautiful songs

[AA-12]

Yeah, look at Yngwie. Nothing new at all, just sped up blues. But then there's Jeff Beck. He doesnt play fast and makes beautiful songs
Meh, I find Malmsteen insteresting and a great listen.

EDIT: Blues? He uses mostly classical playing.

[hethamulburton]

Didn't know that, sorry. :thumb:
I like Yngwie a lot, but I agree that he plays fast too much, he needs some slower songs, like more Black Star- like songs.
Slow solos impress me more than fast ones, just because they have more time to leave an impact on you. Like Comfortably Numb gives me chills when I hear the end solo, but COB stuff gives a quick wow that guys good, and that's it til you hear it again.

[flamesofbodom]

Yeah but still. All he does is play fast. Not too much emotion or anything like with other guitarists

[AA-12]

Didn't know that, sorry. :thumb:
Not a problem :)

[AA-12]

Yeah but still. All he does is play fast. Not too much emotion or anything like with other guitarists
He does more than play fast. The not too much emotion thing is invalid also.

[flamesofbodom]

Ah, whatever. I guess i just dont get a kick out of him

[Hells Bells]

I thought it was that Alexi writes music for the guitar, and then Janne follows what he's doing...on the keys :confused: I'm not sure about the keyboard solos though.

[Forlorn Hope]

from what ive heard, Alexi does most of all the songwriting for bass, drums, guitar, and keyboards....but i may wrong i heard it from a friend

[Huber]

I read somewhere that he has written every entire song except Silent Night, Bodom Night.

kim wrote the lyrics i silent night bodom night....

[viski , haluta]

you learn new things everyday...

[Shadows]

Alexi writes just about everything. Lyrics, keyboards, guitars, everything. Occasionally someone else will co-write a song or some lyrics, but Alexi is basically the CoB mastermind.

[Mr. Squiggles]

He's cool, but I don't think I would call him my "hero"

Yeah, I don't think I would go that far either. I mean he is a great guitarist and has really inspired my playing but I don't know about hero.

[Silent Death]

Yeah, I don't think I would go that far either. I mean he is a great guitarist and has really inspired my playing but I don't know about hero.

Yeah, he is a really great guitarist. I wish I could play like him. I can't play any CoB songs at the moment.

[Mr. Squiggles]

I can play Sixpounder and I am working on a few others.

i cant play any of the solos cause im not that great...but i can play many bits and peices of their songs

I should have put with out solos, I can't play those either

[Silent Death]

Hell yeah, guitar pro rocks. And I don't think I'll ever to be able to play those solos.

I will play those solos one day. If it's the last damn thing I ever do

[Shadows]

Yeah, I don't think I would go that far either. I mean he is a great guitarist and has really inspired my playing but I don't know about hero.
He's my hero. No question. His image, his music, his attitude - it's everything I wish I could be (except I wouldn't drop out of school).

I can't actually play any CoB songs either. I'm trying to get up to Alexi's shredding speed before I tackle a chore like that. I'm so close I can almost taste it. :cool:

I'm about 100 times slower than Alexi. But my speed is begining to icrease and my alt picking is improving.

[flamesofbodom]

Youll be happy to play some of the stuff off FTR.

EDIT:Its so dam fun to play fast :thumb:

[Shadows]

I know. Lately, I've been really pushing my speed lately and the results have been incredible. I increased my speed by over 40 bpm in a couple weeks. I'm only 2 clicks of the metronome away from Alexi's speed during the Follow the Reaper solo (it's pretty fast). I still have a ways to go, but I think I'll be there in to time.

[AA-12]

I can pick easily as fast as laiho, but for some reason I blow at playing other people's music.

[Mr. Squiggles]

I'm still trying to build my alt picking speed because I haven't relly used it much in the last 2 or so years I have been playing.

[Silent Death]

It's sad how bad I suck at guitar. But then again I have only been playing about 4 months.

[Shattered_Future]

I don't know if i can play any Bodom songs yet...haven't really tried.

Might be able to play bits and pieces of them...no 24 fret guitar. :angry: Plus, he plays extremely fast at some parts...I can play pretty fast, but I don't know if i can play that fast.

[hethamulburton]

It's arpeggios and taps which are easy to play fast, you can do it.

[Hells Bells]

Ha, at least you guys have songs tabbed out for you...I'll start learning those after I get an electric. But for now, I can't find keyboard tabs for their songs anywhere. I guess it shouldn't be too bad other than the solos, since Janne pretty much follows what Alexi does. The thing is, this would mean that unless I find notes somewhere, I'd have to transfer the guitar tabs to sheet music, which would take hell of a long time :upset:

I know I can't play that fast. But I will one day.

Oh yeah, I was at wal mart yesterday and I was looking through the CD's and there was this Bam Mar... however the **** you spell his last name CD with a bunch of different bands on it and one of the songs was Needled 24/7. Whats with that? I don't really care about the song being on there I just can't stand that guy.

That's where I'm at. I'm learning the part of Bed of Razors right now thats way up to the 19th, and my guitar is squaking all over the place. It sounds ok though. Playing fast is the hard part. I lowered the timing on Bed of Razors on GuitarPro from 137 to 105. :p I'm probably at 115 now though.

I made it with photoshop. I don't really know how to make one from a video but I could try to figure it out.

[AA-12]

It's arpeggios and taps which are easy to play fast, you can do it.
Arps are not easy if you play them properly. Some 5+ year players can't even play arps any good at all.

Anyway, on the topic of arpeggios, I've been worked on mine a lot today and i'm getting them up to speed.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Forgive me for asking this, but how exactly do you do arpeggios with a pick? I'm doing them with fingerpicking and they aren't too bad.

[IheartSP]

This just in...

Bodom's genre along with Norther, Kalmah, Skyfire, Imperanon, etc. is no longer Power/Speed with harsh vocals cause thats too hard to say, it is Extreme Power Metal.

Alright, if you have an arpeggio like this:

E--------14-18p-14---------------------------
B-----16-----------16--------------------- Repeat
G--15-----------------------------------

You downpick the 15, 16, and 14 with a solid motion. It's almost like strumming a chord, but each note is played seperately. You up-pick the 18 and then pull off to the 14, and up-pick the 16. Then repeat. If you need more help then just ask.

I do, and please don't if it's too much trouble. I was just wondering if you had any already tabbed out.

Here you go:

http://www.musicianalliance.net/tabs/Leah's%20Lesson.ptb

NOTES:

The positions of the arpeggios are just examples made to help develop your technique, you can move them up or down to wherever you want. I'd suggest trying them all over the fretboard.

Make sure you mute the note right before you play the next one.

Don't forget to keep your picking very smooth and fluent. Don't force yourself to pick hard, just let it glide over the strings.

I'll make more lessons whenever you feel comfortable doing these.

You're welcome. Don't forget to stay in perfect time and keep the notes clean. Distortion usually helps with cleaning up the muting part of it.

I see what you're saying, cause they don't really care about the music, but it might not be so bad, maybe listening to CoB will introduce them to good music...as opposed to the pop punk most of them are into.

TSASI, go to the forums

[Shadows]

My God, sweep picking is such a pain in the ***. It makes me wonder how much they've practiced them when guys like Alexi can sweep up and down constantly.

[IheartSP]

I'm pretty novice at sweep picking. I'm ok at 3 string sweeps, and I can do 5 string sweeps one direction.

[Shadows]

I'm not too bad at it. I've been practicing several sweep picking arpeggios for some time now and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I've been sweeping across all six strings as well as changing directions, but I've still got a ways to go before I can sweep like most metal guys can.

[IheartSP]

I'm not sure I want to work on sweeping at all. I mean it sounds really cool but as far as the songs I write idk if it'd fit. I guess it could open some new doors so I should try it out.

[Shadows]

I would use it sparingly if I tried to really write songs. I only practice them as much as I do because many bands I love use it quite a bit, and as a guitarist, I'd like to master as many aspects of the instrument as I can.

[Huber]

I tried sweeping once and dropped my guitar. It wasn't cool.

[Forlorn Hope]

i was going to start learning to sweep...but i really should learn some theory first, im pretty much another kerry king when it comes to theory

Yeah. I like him though. I think Slayer writes some good, memorable riffs. As for the solos, I think you can guess, but other than that, I like him.

[IheartSP]

Wow the greatest thing just happend to me...

I listened to the Hatebreeder album, and it sounded like the first time I've ever listened to it. That happens every once in a while with something for me, and it is just the most amazing feeling in the world. It was like a completely new thing. And I still whole heartedly agree that it is the best Bodom album, I'm listening to FTR now and it's not living up to Hatebreeder. Black Widow is a severely underrated track btw.

[Huber]

Yeah. I like him though. I think Slayer writes some good, memorable riffs. As for the solos, I think you can guess, but other than that, I like him.

Yeah, I didn't mean it really. He may have pointless feuds and he just can't say sorry it seems, but I've heard from others he's a really cool guy, and he's in an awesome band.

The beggining of Taste of my Scythe sounds really japanese, I wonder if they did that purposely for their japanese crowd.

in the last few bars it would be simpler to hammer from the D# to the G, rather than picking the G and pulling off to the D#.

Also the way youve written it makes the sweep harder, and in the 3 note pattern kinda destroys the movement. I can explain further if you want.
