Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho 

Never expected him to know theory, but I guess he did play violin.

This is probably the cleanest I have ever seen him play in a video. Very nice.

Alexi "You know" Laiho.

Forever💝

anywhere you click in this video you'll hear "you know" or "yea" or "the like ....thing"

thanks so much for uploading this! i had been looking for it for a while!!

@Phailure365 you're right, however if you think about it you see that many of their songs (COB) don't have speed as aim (badly expressed i know XD). in fact, their last album relentless reckless forever is composed of slow songs, so you can catch the melody inside them..personally, i'm trying to get that kind of speed and i'm sure that once i got it i can do all kind of songs..i hope you understood me, my english is not good XD

hes wearing a trivium wrist band. WIN. COB and Trivium are my favorite bands. Alexi ftw

he has such a way with words

@taylorissuperflyman Actually its a ESP signature instead of the LTD, which is why its different, not "older"...just thought id throw that out there.

@rockon3691 it is his signature?

♥.♥ i cant take my eyes off of u!!!

ahahha, I freakin love Laiho, and by my opinion he's one of the better guitarists, but.. notice how many times, he said : " you know "

Alexi is the best you know

@theallmightyham He was influenced by Roope, but definitely wasn't taught by him. He learned violin first but when he got into metal he wanted to play guitar instead.

@theallmightyham lol dude....how did you come up with that??

when someone is doing a sports interview watch how many times the player will say "uhh" in between sentences

AND YOU KNOW YEAH ,YOU KNOW LIKE ,WELL YEAH ,BUT YOU KNOW WELL YEAH!!!!!!

@9:00 His expression is awesome. He throws his hand up. He's like, "whatfuckingever, really easy stuff, I''ll beat this shit out all day."

you know i like you know his guitar playing you know and this interview was you know interesting you know. And, yea, you know!

IS HE WEARING A TRIVIUM WRIST BAND???? FUCKING AWESOME! I love it when metal artists share each others merch- it really shows you how special metal is. The bands are on the rise all the time and they still support each other, its not a fucking contest like pop where you argue over whos got the better and more trendy outfit. You will see Metallica and COB wearing Trivium, Trivium wearing Death, ect ect ect. Alexi is a fucking genius man, such an inspiration and guitar god. METAL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexi is a guitar god!! imo.... and im sorry but it has to be said...those fingers would really know how to move lmao

dude i fallen in love with you

@gungwat sister got him into metal motley crue etc. metal got him into guitar as far as i know he taughthimself, however he did go to a music college for jazz, which would hav greatly helped his playing and style progress

RIP

if u take a shot every time he say "you know" u will be vomiting like crazy at the end of the video

@gibbygibson666 first selftaught. but he has a degree in music. he has been to a finnish music college or something

he's fucking amazing

yeah he is

man these guys were fucking mindblowing last night, fucking best show ever!

damn these comments are so a decade ago haha. rip alexi love u

he says many things we already know...you know...

you know you know you know you know

YAY! Trivium wristband \m/ ..hes so epic

So... when you gonna start to play?

DOES SOMEONE WHERE I CAN FIND THE OFFICIAL LESSON?

Shit, his technical chops and theory knowledge are surprising.

He reminds me way too much of Skwisgaar Skwigelf. "When I was youngers intos the mores, you know, neo classical stuffs..."

@theallmightyham Actually not exaclty Roope was alexis idol and roope made him want to play guitar

116 "you know" :D Yes, I was bored...

thats how i pick i noticed.. its odd. it works out your whole arm though so if you dont pick your fastest everyday you lose the muscles and it starts to hurt again.

He doesn't say you know more than Nergal of behemoth

yeah

I'm not sure if I know :/

He is better than GOD

after watching this ou really do hear the heavy penatonic use completely different from the way most use it. Alexi Micheal ammott and Dave Mustaine use it the best in my opinion

@Phailure365 do youmean dela vega? hell no^^ chek out dr. hotlicks, he played the bumblebees at 420 (:

I mean spleeping because he looks he haven't slept enough...

his sister got him into heavy music

@Phailure365 the videos is called "Universal Record Database Official World Record for Fastest Guitar Player In the World " the end of the link /watch?v=RlXsEreNYyk&feature=channel_video_title I hope you enjoy it (:

i was thinking about that today. hahhaa;

what gear does he use? which pedal especially?

you know.. hahaha, alexi you're great

cool

You know

Although saying yea and hugh etc is bad... keep in mind english is NOT his native language. How many of you criticizing him would be comfortable speaking Finnish? When an native english speaking person does it, it's inexcusable... Alexi kicks ass all around, cut him some slack.

ya you know, its like... you know

he says y'know over 100 times. I just use a comma

9:00 great guitar, killing eyeshot :PPPP hahah reapers child absoloutely

a trivium wrist band on his picking hand !

he is god

You know..eemmm....You know, you know

I meant to count how many times he says it but it's impossible, you know!!!!

@theallmightyham roope wasnt even with the band when they first started out

lmao i love alexi and children of bodom but he reminds me of rocky balboa with the way he's talking ahahaha

Coool dude ! nice xD

@kamikamiohhh 106 times in 7 minutes and 47 seconds "you know".........

¨ you know ¨ XD

skwisgaar is based on yngwie malmsteen.

@Wintersun93 yea it is getting really annoying, you know?

he always says :¨¨You know..¨¨¨ lol......

you know!

has anyone noticed that Alexi can only play fast? its like when he tries to play his stuff slowly he isnt as good lol I see the resemblance to the Blues episode of Metalocalypse

i know

@theallmightyham i was just saying

Why would he play slow, if his music has nothing to do with being slow...?

haha epic quote from 4:30 to 4:46

"you know" lol

@taylorissuperflyman its not a lie, its true, roope was his tutor on guitar...

hahaah he has an andrew wk sweatshirt

you know...

I stopped at 32:D

You know? Really? I didn't know...

and least he doesnt say "like" or "uh" cuz that pisses me off.....

@taylorissuperflyman dude you know its true

eeew trivium wristband

He sounds like he's hung over here lol.

Oh God.... Alexi´s the best!!!! What the fuck!!!! Make-up and nail-polish? Damm, that is not important, his music is important!!!!

@whitelotus808 i hate it :D so many ppl say you know so often that its getting really annoying :D

And 106 time "fuck" in 10 min of live

i never knew that he tried to kill himself :O

you know you know ;pp

Alexi is not the most technical and best player there is , but he sure is one of the best musician , I don't like those rusty cooley kinda guys , it also gets so fuckiun boring , alexi is never boring to watch and technical wise rusty is a way better but i dont care

@shlooky1 +1 i've spoke with and its terrible every third word is "you know" :D:D:D

HAHA 6:40

. xD

ALEXI USED TO BE A MORE HUMILD PERSON

awesome but overrated!
