Yeah, he has a sexy voice alright! Had the chance to hang out with Roope last year for two days while he was in Cleveland. First night after COB attended the Amorphis concert then the following day after their own show. Roope is TOTALLY A AWESOME person. Cool...easy going, fun loving guy. Very KNOWLEDGEABLE,SKILLED musician. I agree that Roope need not prove anything to anyone in regards to COB or anything else where music is concerned. He has done it.
"One riff can include more melody than a whole song, so taking inspiration from them is worth it. Even from a brief sample of classical song you can find lots of things.. Then there's punk of course, it belongs to this... one must have attitude, it's important."
"When I was 11, my mother reported me to a music academy in Espoo. I started to play classical guitar under the teaching of Kari Äikäs. Played it 5 years.. I've continued playing it after that every now and then. I never cared about jazz though.. but I take influence from classical music, trying to figure out new riffs, trying to make something new. I don't want to copy riffs from others..
Roope is so awesome ^_^ I wish I could understand him, I'm learning Finnish but it will be quite a long time before I could understand even a little of this xD
his guitars got stolen after an anniversary gig just after the recordings of Hate crew deathroll, and it was all chaos cuz Jackson couldn´t get him new guitars in time for the lots of shows they had scheduled. ESP came and told him they could get him a new guitar in shorter time so he jumped to ESP. He still had to borrow one of Roopes Jacksons for a while until he finally got the second guitar. (watch the Tuska 2003 gig)
I think its more in Roadkill morning and banned from heaven than tie my rope cuz there is two guitar solos in tese to song and there is two solos witch don't sound like alexis's style but more the Roope one
"It's healthy to keep a break if you can't proceed, if you're getting stuck on a song or something else.. it's better to do something else then. Sometimes you get so stuck, even couple weeks or a month, then when you start playing again, you have a completely new idea in your mind again." 08:26 Interviewer: "What's the best thing that you can get out of music and playing at this moment?" R:"Well, gigs bring pleasure, sometimes playing rolls so well it feels like electricity flowing thru fingers"
@dark5hadow The name oh the band is Stone. They were the biggest trashmetalband in Finland in late 80`s- early 90`s. Roope Latvala and Jiri Jalkanen were the guitarists of the band.
@Huqe "this opera hassle for example, this has been incredible thing to do. Well I don't know, guess it could be nice to see Waltari getting a little more success so we could do cooler stage shows... it has potential, it can be developed further." 6:54 Roope: "You train something else and forget guitar for a while.. me for example, if I keep a week-long break from guitar I get feelings of remorse when it doesn't really start to roll.. that makes a man feel down. "
by the way, i saw on an australian web shop thing site that Roopes guitar (the random star) is about 2000$ ... not 6000, allthough 2000 is still a lot of money..
From 2:45 "I've been playing guitar actively for the last 14 years, more or less.. It's kind of a bad thing that I can't listen to music as music anymore since doing this.. everything goes through a filter" "If you wouldn't have became a guitarist, what would you be now?" "A pilot" "Why?" "Well it's a little boys dream.. I might consider this if this guitaring starts to 'taste like wood' If something makes you frustrated, you might consider not doing it anymore...
Finns speak semi well english. Finnish is more easy for them to use when talking because it is there main lanuguage. and roope does speak english and he speaks it pretty good.
Don't get me wrong or something i like Alexi but i think Alexi really stole a lot from Roope not only licks but also clothes style etc. I find roope really a unique player and i think Alexi more is a entertainer. NOthing wrong with it ofcourse i see them in february
Interviewer: "Do you consider to be more of a project maker or someone who can be asked to play anything anywhere?" Roope: "I woudln't want to be a Jack-of-all-trades, I don't dig that stuff. I only do stuff that interests me. This really isn't a big moneymaker, sometimes I have to do something just to get my living. I'm doing this stuff just for fun." Interviewer: "Is there a dream that you haven't accomplished in music?" Roope: "Well I don't know, hard to say,this opera hassle f.example.."
Well considering the fact that Latvala joined the band only four years ago to replace the original guitarist, one might argue that he isn't such a vital figure in the band.
Roopen jutustelua katsellessa tulee mieleen, onko mies ollut innoituksena useammallekin Kummeli-hahmolle. Todellinen taiteilija ja symppiksen oloinen tyyppi.
Well i think Alexi writes nice solos, but he has to come up with something new, i think he kind of uses the same sweeps over and over again, kind of not that original guitarist anymore, yet i think Roope is still more inventing.
i like both guitarist and i think both are really great
Yeah, he has a sexy voice alright!

Roope is one hell of a guitar player!!!!!!!
@Huqe Thanks for all the translation!
roope does several of the solos off of blooddrunk.
I think its more in Roadkill morning and banned from heaven than tie my rope cuz there is two guitar solos in tese to song and there is two solos witch don't sound like alexis's style but more the Roope one

Roope on yksi parhaimmista kitaristeista, Roope on mun lempi kitaristi. Мой любимый гитарист! :)
I don't understand most of it, but Roope's voice and the Finnish language are so cool I had to watch the whole thing anyway.
@dark5hadow The name oh the band is Stone. They were the biggest trashmetalband in Finland in late 80`s- early 90`s. Roope Latvala and Jiri Jalkanen were the guitarists of the band.
hiljainen äijä...ja perkeleen hyvä kitaristi, roope on legenda.

can someone please put subtitles on this???

I don't understand a fuckin' shit, but I love the sound of finnish. and roope kicks ass
From 2:45
"I've been playing guitar actively for the last 14 years, more or less.. It's kind of a bad thing that I can't listen to music as music anymore since doing this.. everything goes through a filter"

"A pilot"
"Why?"
"Well it's a little boys dream.. I might consider this if this guitaring starts to 'taste like wood'
If something makes you frustrated, you might consider not doing it anymore...
this should be subtitled...
8:04 to 8:29, what band is that???
they´re identical xept for the inlays, and Roope has an extra singlecoil pickup on his.
ROOPE IS AWESOME!
Could someone fix a translation to this?
i can understand him very well.
roope have great voice like him :D
ARgh where can i get the Latvala Bro's album??? i have heard it at myspace ... but i NEED it... it is totally sick!...
Finns speak semi well english. Finnish is more easy for them to use when talking because it is there main lanuguage. and roope does speak english and he speaks it pretty good.
Don't get me wrong or something i like Alexi but i think Alexi really stole a lot from Roope not only licks but also clothes style etc. I find roope really a unique player and i think Alexi more is a entertainer. NOthing wrong with it ofcourse i see them in february

Yeah, Roope should take some solo's in COB. After all the band wouldn't have started if it weren't for Stone persuing metal in Finland.
Could someone please translate this please

Well considering the fact that Latvala joined the band only four years ago to replace the original guitarist, one might argue that he isn't such a vital figure in the band.
Taitaa olla nuha roopella.
Roope pwns
@VegaMaiden95 he sounds a little drunk, though :D
Stone - Get Stoned
Roopen jutustelua katsellessa tulee mieleen, onko mies ollut innoituksena useammallekin Kummeli-hahmolle. Todellinen taiteilija ja symppiksen oloinen tyyppi.
Flight of the Bumblebee
Joo itekin katoin mutta todennäkösesti valot/kynttilät aiheuttaa tuommoisen kuvan naamasta.
@markkessels Haha yeah even though it is basically useless outside of Europe, it would still be fucking fun to speak...
roope is awesome! and in my opinion better than alexi...he's good!
Finnish with only Spanish subtitles
i don't understand anything but good interview haha xD
Mikä Waltarin biisi 3:47-4:22 ?
@lstarbuck20 Oke... Have fun duder :)

KokeBus.

i think Jackson is better then ESP
Well i think Alexi writes nice solos, but he has to come up with something new, i think he kind of uses the same sweeps over and over again, kind of not that original guitarist anymore, yet i think Roope is still more inventing.

finlandia is vodka, FINLAND is a country....
