Just coming back to the cleanest cover of one of the finest pieces of work by Alexi Laiho after hearing about his death. Rest in peace to an absolute monster.
He is play no the first string 13 and 15 while bending and playing with the whammy... He then shifts to the same thing on the second string at the end of that
He's doing legato (rapid sucessions of hammer-ons and pull-offs) with his left hand while using the tremolo bar in his right hand to rapidly raise and lower the pitch of the strings, which is immediately followed by several sweep picking motions.
One time I turned that run at 3:06 into an exercise and practiced daily with a metronome, starting really slow and bumping up only 1 bpm after I was able to play it 5 times in a row with no mistakes. Never mastered it and gave up.
It's actually unbelievable how perfect you nail the solo dude. I've never seen Alexi come even close to playing the solo live as tight as you play it here bro. Seriously outstanding work!!!!
Props to this player, he plays 100 times better than me, but sitting down and having infinite takes is way easier than playing this standing live on stage drunk. Just saying, Alexi is the boss, this dude here is a pro fighter!
you either really practiced the shit out of those solos or you're seriously just one of the most talented guitar players on youtube. either way, fucking amazingly played!
Been watching this video for years , always come back to the watch and enjoy it more every time. This is a unreal cover , something you can always be proud of and look back on forever.
One of the best covers I have seen, not to mention that this is my favorite and technically most difficult Children Of Bodom song. Hats off, my friend. You really nailed it, Alexi would be proud of you.
I have many friends that don't know COB or Alexi. Never really knew how to present this music, because most of the tracks are f*ckin masterpiecess. But now, when i want to invite someone to listening to COB, i show them THIS video:) Thank You for that!
live alexi can't play half of the notes :P im sure live metalsuki would nail it.Plus he did it in one long take, i can only dream of reaching his skill one day,we'll see
Tiene mucho tiempo que no veía este increíble cover. COB y Alexi fueron parte de mi adolescencia y bueno, hay mucha nostalgia en todo esto. Eres increíblemente bueno, dude.
It's odd how I know every note from this song perfectly but I haven't heard it in a looong loong time. Dude! Sick playing! You absolutely nailed those pinch harmonics! Wish I could let them scream like you haha
Just coming back to the cleanest cover of one of the finest pieces of work by Alexi Laiho after hearing about his death. Rest in peace to an absolute monster.
I had no idea! I am heartbroken. I grew up with CoB
una lastima que en vida alexi no vio este cover, estaria orgulloso
Yup, the best freaking cover of Kissing the Shadows, the best. I come here once in a while to listen this piece of work.
I didn't know that he's dead... fuck.
I periodically come back to this
this guy was also in ninja turtles, shredder was his name
LMAO
HAHAHA
nice
JAJAJAJA SI
Haha!
3:44 "bye mom!"
lordofmadness1 I lol'ed
hahahahaha nice comment xD
Best Kissing the Shadows cover ever.
2021 - This song still blows my mind and this cover is no different. Absolutely flawless.
RIP Alexi
Same here. One of my all time favourites. Legend says Alexi came up with this because they quickly needed something to round up the album time.
Just perfect
the tap slide speed though... 3:12
That's the fucking great cover. No one can beat this cover, pretty damn sure.
Best guitar cover on UA-cam! Everything is played so smooth and on point, amazing :) I know this Song is very challenging to play.
You have one of the best covers as well! I dont think there is anyone else who can play this song on an Arrow and look as happy doing it lol.
been wondering for years where this god has been. I hope he's still shredding
I wonder that same thing too! Feeling like I’d be on top of the world if I could shred like this 😉
Seriously, flawless. Best one I have seen yet.
It's not even close to flawless, but yea, it's the best one.
@@alone66666 Actually one bum note amazinngly tight playing Bravo!
@@alone66666 please show us your playing
@@karjii I am shy, sorry :/
@@alone66666 okay then, keep your secrets
Watching this again years later is still massively impressive.
I always come back to this video
idk what on earth he's doing at 3:32 but its god-like
keeping d (first string) steady while bending a (second string)
He is play no the first string 13 and 15 while bending and playing with the whammy... He then shifts to the same thing on the second string at the end of that
WiseLoneWolf kol bro you forgot the whammy bar lol
He's doing legato (rapid sucessions of hammer-ons and pull-offs) with his left hand while using the tremolo bar in his right hand to rapidly raise and lower the pitch of the strings, which is immediately followed by several sweep picking motions.
Who cares, the best fucking part!
Whenever I want to watch a cover video, I find myself here every time. Still the best on UA-cam \m/
3:42 when you nail the solo and you tell from your inside "OK, EVERYTHING WENT FINE, NEXT PART" . solid one man, even after 12 years
OUTSTANDING!!!!! R.I.P. Alexi :(
WHAT
THE
FUCK!!?
this is disgustingly good
One time I turned that run at 3:06 into an exercise and practiced daily with a metronome, starting really slow and bumping up only 1 bpm after I was able to play it 5 times in a row with no mistakes. Never mastered it and gave up.
MimicDaravon true story bro...btw your nick is from fft?
DevilizerKao Yep.
@watergod 83 ligma
This comment it six years old, did you ever try again and did you master it?
@@jani14jani No, I really should give it another try.
it is incredible that this video have 38 dislikes , the guy is playing this shit like a fucking MASTER .
like? :D
Your life goes faster
Those are haters. Haters gonna hate))
Love how he shows off with that salute after the second solo such a bad ass move
watched this 5y ago and its still the best cover on YT
It's actually unbelievable how perfect you nail the solo dude. I've never seen Alexi come even close to playing the solo live as tight as you play it here bro. Seriously outstanding work!!!!
I agree!
Alexi is the one who composed it . Moreover he can play it if not drunk.
Alexi used to be nearly passed out drunk most shows, now less so, but still drunk.
Laughs in Stockholm
Props to this player, he plays 100 times better than me, but sitting down and having infinite takes is way easier than playing this standing live on stage drunk. Just saying, Alexi is the boss, this dude here is a pro fighter!
顔文字兄貴の飾らない感じ良いゾ〜これ☺️
いままで見たチルボドのカバーの中で一番クオリティが高い。すごい
God bless and rest his soul. Thank you for this upload. I've been watching it for years and boy did I need it today
Damn Alexi passed, I’ve been a fan for a while and I just got the news today. R.I.P. Alexi Laiho
You are one of the first people I thought of when I found out Alexi died. Your Bodom covers are the absolute best. R.I.P. Alexi
you either really practiced the shit out of those solos or you're seriously just one of the most talented guitar players on youtube. either way, fucking amazingly played!
He most likely practiced the shit out of those solos.
No one gets to this level without practicing a shit ton
I used to watch this video over and over trying to learn the solo like 10 Years ago, I cant believe Alexi passed away. :/
Very impressive. Not sure how people could dislike such a clean cut cover...regardless of whether or not they like the music this is some talent
Been watching this video for years , always come back to the watch and enjoy it more every time.
This is a unreal cover , something you can always be proud of and look back on forever.
These (Pinch) Harmonics are awesome

Watching in 2017

One of the best covers I have seen, not to mention that this is my favorite and technically most difficult Children Of Bodom song. Hats off, my friend. You really nailed it, Alexi would be proud of you.

I have many friends that don't know COB or Alexi. Never really knew how to present this music, because most of the tracks are f*ckin masterpiecess. But now, when i want to invite someone to listening to COB, i show them THIS video:) Thank You for that!
Jesus man, that was incredible. Well done.

Alexi? Is that you?
No nail varnish
+Svil Buscus HAHAHAAHAHAHAH

live alexi can't play half of the notes :P im sure live metalsuki would nail it.Plus he did it in one long take, i can only dream of reaching his skill one day,we'll see
i remember a while back i played this song, it's hard but fun to play, especially that sweeping arpeggio part during the solo :)
Dude the crazy whammy part of the solo...

OUTSTANDING
Please, please make more covers of COB :'(

Man, I don't know what to say. I'm laughing and crying at the same time, is that enough? RIP Alexi
This is the best cover of this song on UA-cam.
Viewed it 2019.... Great job dude!!!
Was literally listening to this cover this morning, such a tragedy. Rip Alexi
the most awesom part is, all those melodies and tiny parts.. someone has to come up with those. thats the monst insane part in my mind.
Absolutely amazing!!! Ive recently started guitar and this song is my goal.
Its the best hobby ive ever picked up
Hey! Still playing guitar? Have you already got this song down?
絶対ワールドクラス！あなたは私たちOHAを失望させたことはありません！
I don’t think there will ever be a cleaner cover of this song. This guy played the solo close to perfect, and clean too!
Incredibly done! One of my favorite songs and you crushed it!
Excellent job! Very good sweep picking skills.
Tiene mucho tiempo que no veía este increíble cover. COB y Alexi fueron parte de mi adolescencia y bueno, hay mucha nostalgia en todo esto. Eres increíblemente bueno, dude.
