I don't get how someone can like Slipknot and CoB, it's like eating at McDonald's after you just had some fancy steak.

Fake beef is good occasionally though...

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]I don't think so either. Alexi does really like Killswitch Engage, though. Which is cool. It shows that he's varied.

I actually did that earlier.

And while eating McDonalds i bet you said i wish i was eating some of that fancy steak.

Well, I love McDonalds. It's just as good to me, haha.

Well I think of it as pretty low quality food especially compared to a real nice fat juicy burger, oh man am I hungry...

It is low quality, but oh well, haha. My local steak house makes the best juicy burgers ever. You'd love them.

Yes I love my juicy burgers, but one time...

I was at Ruby Tuesday and I ordered a BBQ burger. I got it and took a bite, and they put BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and mustard on. It's not even that I don't like mustard and mayonnaise, but why would anyone mix these 3 sauces on 1 burger?

Who is the current guitarist besides Alexi?

Roope Latvala

^googles

looks like Roope Latvala is (currently?) in Sinergy too then

Latvala is so underrated.

[QUOTE=TSASI]Latvala is so underrated.[/QUOTE]
is he the one in the passage to the reaper video or is that alexander?
because whoever it was IMO is better then alexi

it was Roope

He was Alexi's idol growing up.

interesting, roope must be in his late 30's by now probably

For the Kissing the Shadows solo, is it just Alexi soloing or is Roope soling as well, because at certain points it sounds like one guitar stops soloing and begins playing the riff, while the other does the opposite. The two sections of the solo have different tones, too.

Indeed, Roppe is 10 years older than Alexi and was in a band called "Stone" in the 1980's that Alexi loved while growing up. Its amazing how well they work together, i got to meet Roope...ill try n find the photo actually n post it on here, and no his English wasnt that great lol.

Yeah, that's Roope. Technical wise, he is actually much better than Laiho. I still prefer Laiho's style and songwriting though.

I would like to see Roope get to try out some leads on the new album, i love what he's done in Sinergy with Alexi. I agree about Alexi's style, in heavy metal it is hard to distinguish your own voice in your playing and Alexi has really crafted his sound and style to where you can hear it on a second, he's really the future of metal guitar playing.

How'd you meet him?

A few reasons...it was my third time seeing them for supporting Hatecrew Deathroll, and we got up front and had a giant Finnish flag! Alexi dedicated "sixpounder" to us and after the show i threw it up to Alexi and he high fived us. My friends and i didnt care about fear factory and lamb of god so we left and hung out by COB's tour bus, Alexi waved and was drinking and Roope came out and talked to us for awhil. He said "thanks for the flag guys" and pointed toward the bus and it was hanging in the bus! Which was preety metal, we had stapled on a cloth that said "Missouri Hatecrew" with our names on it and we talked to Roope about Finland, concerts he saw in the 80's, etc...he was extremley nice and happy to chat so we were thankful and got a photo with him.

Kissing The Shadows was when they still had Alexander as rhythm guitarist...

And no, i think Alexi did all the leads.

Kissing the Shadows is just a duel between Alexi and the keyboard player.

At a couple of parts theres harmonising, but thats just over dub.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]:lol:

What if Alexi collaborated with Tarja from Nightwish though? THAT would be a group to put money down for.[/QUOTE]

I would pay big money for that. On the scythes of bodom board, someone said that there was a rumor going around about a collaboration; Children of Bodom with Amy Lee? Everyone was so pissed off about it.

Uh-oh, looks like big money is going to bastardize another great great band...

I hope that's not true. I mean, Amy has a decent voice, but the music is just so different...it would clash horribly.

Yep. I love Amy Lee's voice; I think she's really talented. But her and Children of Bodom just do NOT mix. At ALL.
