[QUOTE=Silenius]No Roope is better, he's faster and cleaner. He just doesn't play many leads in CoB cause it's Alexi's band but he's been around since the 80's and is really good.[/QUOTE]
Well, both Roope and Alexi did solos live, and Alexi's was much faster and more technical. Also in the Passage To The Reaper video, both of them solo during the song they play for Demonstration 2, and again, I think Alexi's soloing was much faster. Don't get my wrong, Roope is an awesome player, but from what I've seen, I think Alexi might have one up on him.

Although, Roope might not have been playing at his top skill. Alexi is the main focus of the band, and generally gets most of the credit and glory of being the "super player". Since Roope is a new member, he might not have wanted to take that glory away from Alexi. He also might not feel the need to play extremely fast. Some guitarists tend to be quite modest with their skill, and don't show off.

It is tough to say who is better because you never know how hard or easy it is for them to play what they are playing. Sure, Alexi might be playing faster, but that doesnt mean Roope CAN'T go faster than Alexi.

Technically speaking, Roope owns Laiho. He was Laiho's guitar idol.

That doesn't mean he can't be surpassed by Alexi.

In all of the playing they've done together since Roops joined, nothing Roope has done has been on the same level as Alexi. That may be because CoB is Alexi's band, but even Roope's solo on the last tour was nothing compared to any of Alexi's.

Oh, I know that. I'm just saying currently.

I think he has been playing alot longer too.

I just ate KFC :cool:

I need food.

They have KFC over there!? :eek:

stfu, of course we do :p

>:[

:eek:

*teh shifty eyes*

What other fast food places do they have in Ausland?

The bigger ones. McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc There are probably some we don't have though. I've never been to America so I don't know (although I am going there in the next few months :D

No effing way! :eek: We have all of those!

Why are coming to teh US of A? And what parts will you be seeing?

Well I'm going to a wedding which will be in Boston. We will likely be staying for a couple of weeks after. I don't know anything else.

Boston eh? I'm sorry to hear that. New England winters are brutal. Plus you might get kicked by some of the hXc kids, so make sure you don't go to any hardcore shows are try to buy anyone a beer.

Someday, I also plan to go to Boston. Do yourself a favor and make a side trip over here in northern Ohio. :)

I'll try :D

I've never had an brutal winter. Our winters are probably warm compared to yours.

Probably. It's been pretty merciless over here. It's been about 15 degrees (F) every day and everything is covered in ice right now. It's awful.

I'm assuming you have something more along the lines of a Florida winter.

I'll put it this way.

It doesn't snow here. The coldest it gets is about 14 degrees above freezing temp.

Wow. That's a definite Florida winter.

Have you ever seen snow?

Yeah. There are parts of Australia which snow. They are small though.

I've been to the snowy parts twice in my life :D

:eek:

I bet you brag to your friends about that constantly.

I love snow. And winter. I guess that explains my love of cold, northern black metal*. I couldn't imagine not having cold, snowy winters.

*I often use cheesy, cliche descriptions black metal when I talk to my metal friends, most of which are pretty bad

I hate the Cold...it causes cars to freez over and increble lead guitarist
to fall off them and break their wrist

I had not heard about that....what the hell is wrong with me?

Oh, Most of us have been to the snow, but it's not something we experience much.

My town is on the coast, so the beach is a large part of our lives. I couldn't imagine not going to the beach in Summer.

I rarely get to see a beach. :( All we have is an incredibly polluted lake, which nobody wants to go see at any time of year.

The beach we go to sucks...then again all the hot girls go there too....

The beach is probably cold. And the lakes are frozen.

What's with all the talk about snow? I don't like it.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Are you talking about Sonic Firestorm or Inhuman Rampage? I own Sonic Firestorm too, but Inhuman Rampage isn't released anywhere until January of 2006.[/QUOTE]

I really like Sonic Firestorm... The solo in Fury of the Storm is amazing...

I have Inhuman Rampage but havn't listened to it much yet...
While we're on albums have aren't out yet,

In Flames's new album "Come Clarity" is really good.
It's a mix between old and new. Much better then Soundtrack to your Escape. I liked that one also though.

I got Alex Skolnick's guitar pick last night \m/

Testament right?
