CHILDREN OF BODOM'S Alexi Laiho - 100 Guitars From Hel 

Finland should make a statue of Alexi, he was a national treasure R.I.P

RIP Alexi. I auditioned for this and didn't have the slightest expectations to be chosen. But Alexi said some really nice words about my entry. His attitude left such a long lasting positive impression on me. A genuinely nice guy. Gone too soon.

Alexi, my King, you left way too soon. Rest in peace. Your legacy is here to stay eternally.

My band: Struggle to reach 100 people from our town in the audience. Alexi Laiho: Gets 100 people from different countries on stage.

Dear Alexi Laiho, your songs and melodies will live forever in our souls. Rest In Music, Wildchild. 🖤 🤘🏻

I will never forget how monumental Alexi's talent was :(

I would love to see a statue of Alexi Laiho. He deserves it,and I am sure he would appreciate it. He's still here around us, just not physically.

RIP Alexi Laiho, my all time favourite guitarist and inspiration for a lot of guitar players. His legacy will never be forgoten.

Alexi was 1 in a billion. R.I.P. guitar god

I can't believe I am watching this for the first time now. This performance is "holy shit", I exclaimed "wow!" multiple times, and got tears in my eyes at the end, I couldn't stop crying, and especially when they said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Alexi has left the square." 😭💔💓

Pink comic sans Dimmu Borgir. My life is complete.

Song start at 24:09

The one time I went to see COB was in Nashville back in the early 2000s. They canceled the show literally minutes before they went on stage because Alexi overdosed and was rushed to the hospital. I was shocked and saddened that my only chance to see them was canceled because of that. I don't know if that was a one time thing or a problem he had been dealing with. I can personally attest to how devastating addiction can be. But I've never heard anywhere else of him having an addiction problem other than that one night. When I heard he passed I wondered if that was related or not. But honestly it doesn't matter. He inspired millions and was a God when his guitar was on his hands. I respect that man and will always appreciate what he gave us. Glad I was alive on this earth at the same time as him. I learned how to sweep on guitar because of him.

Those solos are so fucking nice. I'm just balling my eyes out. Rest in piece, Guitar King!

Are you dead yet? No! Legends never die! thanks for a heavy childhood!

So good memories, was a honor to share the stage with such artists!!

At 34:03 me and my 2 friend are sitting on the buildings left side window. Good times and it was very epic indeed

Rest in Peace dear,rest in peace,love from Bangladesh

You can only imagine how a literal handful of guitarists had the opportunity of a lifetime to go to helsinki and play on stage with THE Alexi laiho

It was nice to play there with Alexi and other 99 guitars!

Rest in power. I wish i had the chance to thank him for being my reason for picking up a guitar

They got together in Finland, Practiced for 2 days, This is incredible! Trying to get 3 people in sync is tough enough, BUT THERE ARE 100 PLUS MUSICIANS HERE!! I am greatly impressed! WQW!!

R.I.P Even though I've never been a huge fan of CoB, I always admired Alexi's skills at the guitar and how he easily threw off some sick solos while singing.

100 people on stage? That's almost as many as Slipknot

R.I.P Alexi, you will be missed so bad

that pink ibanez really stands out haha

Man, such a shame and great loss within the metal community. I can’t believe Alexi is gone to be honest, didn’t expect that one bit. Definitely way too young, but he will be remembered for his legacy. COB was among some of the first metal bands I listened to.

What a beautiful man,, Pure genius. Rest in Heavenly Peace Alexi.

Man, these guitarists are having the time of their life! I love seeing them all enjoy it.. can you imagine, playing on stage with Alexi in front of that audience? Must’ve been a fucking dream come true! RIP Alexi 💔

Amazing Alexi and Children of bodom, and all one hundred guys! LOve this!

Alexi was a Genius and ,i have not meet him ,a very nice and lovely musician. In my opinium he was a better musician than everthing else in our times

Thank you for every song, every note and for your great legacy. We have to honor you with every chord and in every riff there you will sound like in your good times. Thank you for everything Alexi.

I have never seen anything like this before...RIP Alexi!

😪having serious damaging troubles with this loss!!!!!!! Serious trouble's. This was my guitar God! My world is forever changed. So glad that he left so much to remember him by or it would even be worse. RIP \wildchild/, You're shoes cannot be filled, not in my world! They were one of a kind! 🙏

Huh, it's like walking into a Guitar Center

Хорошие музыканты как обычно уходят всегда слишком рано, также как и хорошие и добрые. Аминь.

REST IN PEACE BROTHER, YOUR LEGACY WOULD BE REMEMBERED INTO THE ETERNITY.

"Alexi has left the building" "What about the other hundred?" LMFAO this was legendary tho

Alexi laiho Thank you so much. It was always my inspiration.

I bet having to mic up all those amps were a sound man's nightmare.

This was absolutely crazy. So awesome! Watching it again, and glad I spent 6 straight hours enjoying guitar today. RIP shred God

oh maan.. this is... i have no words. i wish i was there even as a viewer this would be a lifetime experience

RIP Alexi Laiho 😢

Ohhh yeah that was right up there with all the great compistions throughout history. Undeniably great musicianship.

With all the high and lows of rock´n roll lifestyle, I think Alexi lived like dozens of regular lives. I will always remember him of a phrase "live fast, die young". Thank you Alexi for your amazing talent you shared with us!!!!!

Very cool, sounds awesome. This must have been really fun for everyone there.

@21:35 That dude with the neon pink guitar and Comic Sans DIMMU BORGIR shirt.. you got style man.

Блин как же здорово, когда спустя длительное время информационного детокса в силу работы, семьи и тд.. вернуться к просмотру контента, в котором ты варился мелким сопляком в юности.. и чувствовать как вернулся в семью,..домой) Увидеть розовую надпись Dimmu Bоrgir.. почитать коменты в стиле "на 100 гитаристов один басист".. как же душевно.. P.s. ..Alexi похудел..)))

Really miss u a lot alexi.... lots of love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

32:02 beautiful symphony ❤️

Heartbreaking. His contribution to music will be missed by this fan.

Anyone here because just found out Alexi passed today :(

I remember trying to get in on this

alexi you're amazing man

This is another reason Alexi will be Missed

Yes, a Great Event! I did everthing to Play with him and the Other 99 when i was Young! For 35 years, there was nothing like that! It's a joy to live today with youtube and so on. Enjoy it, too!

I wish i was there to watch this concert for real man. This is awesome !!!!

Now he is playing with 100 guitars from Heaven

I'm bummed out I just found this video now. This is awesome!

Such a lovely tribute!!!

100 guitars, still doesn't sound as layered as a Devin Townsend song

Imagine alexi and dimebag trading off some licks..... 🤯... R.I.P. ALEXI!!

Rest in peace Alexi. Love from Papua New Guinea.

Those guys have some seriously sweet guitars too! Awesome video.

in tears ......

Rest in peace Legend 🤘 ❤

Alexi is a badass performer and inspiration. may you rest with the other metal gods!

PRETTY DAMN AMAZING!!!

RIP Alexi. Your legacy will live on and we will always carry you with us

34:48 in Alexi's hands, the black guitar turns gold))

RIP Wild Child..you were fuckin metal!!! Your beautiful music is here forever!!!🤘🖤

I shouldn't be watching Alexi videos... I'm only hurting and torturing myself

Rest in peace Legend!!

RIP Legend :'(

Felicidades Amner Hunter... puro sonora y puro México claro que si.... cumpliendo tu sueño y los que te faltan... ya tuve la oportunidad aquí en Navojoa de verte tocar una vez y ojala vuelvas en este 2015... y claro de una vez te traes a las Baby Dollz.... Felicidades y sigue adelante.

one thing i can say about this, is that when it came to the performance and selection process, there was too many lead players....and old drill sergeant of mine called it "too many chiefs and not enough indians" all of these seemingly awesome performances were competing to shine from the group and only drowned each other out.

R.I.P. Alexi Laiho😪

I burst into tears

Seems like there is only like 3 guitars plugged in

You were always my king. Always.

Rip my childhood legend

Goodbye World! A new Alexi will be there to grace the Earth very soon!

5:58 Wow, Petrucci's Picasso Ibanez!

like for lost society

would be cool to see it live.

Alexi is a great guitarist, great singer and a great person. I see so many bad comments here about this whole event. Would you have done it better? If you don't like his music, his events, stop watching and ask your girlfriends to stop yelling, screaming and get wet whenever they see the dude ;)

Fuhhhh awesome... u are metal guys..

His death can still bring me to tears man.

RIP Alexi Laiho 🙏❤️

Hmmm I liked it, but I think they could have done a really awesome song quite better than this. I was expecting something similar to an orchestra, with a lot of diferent melodies made by all those guitars, something more than a lot of guitars playing the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but... There are 100 guitarist... That's less than the 30% they could have made.

so sick!

Crazy Epic

That Cliff Burton look 26:23

RIP I can't believe it... :(

Damn how great when after a long time of information detox because of work, family and so on.. return to viewing the content in which you cooked the small jerk in his youth.. and feel like you're back in the family..homeward) To see the pink lettering Dimmu Borgir.. read the comments in the style of "оn 100 guitarists, one bass player".. how heartfelt.. P.S. ..Alexi lost weight..))

simplemente genial.

Era una instrumental per el público ni un EH EH EH también esperaba un final con todos los guitarristas saludando y siendo ovacionados Alexi se largó a toda hostia, pero creo que era su forma de ser. HAgo algo demencial pero quiero desconectar después de semejante curro; que aplaudan a los 100 guitarras que muchos eran cracks que tocaban en casa y ya. Alexi... talento, humildad y transmitía buen rollo hasta pesando 40 kilos.

Legendary!
