Top 10 Alexi Laiho Solos

- I hope I do you justice, rest in peace hero.
Thank you for watching and sticking around this whole year.
Well that's my list...for like now.
I know, I actually missed out on some solos. I didnt include Sinergy just because I still got some other ideas for those solos. I'm preparing for that and I think this is going to be fun. So yes, Sinergy is coming. But not now.
And I know, AYDY maybe shouldnt be on this list, but you know what?
AYDY is one of their most popular songs and tbh its one of the solos you gotta start with on guitar cuz its not that hard.
Tie my rope? Just the interlude? well yes. Tbh thats a part that always ducked me up over the years, how absolutely amazing this is. Truely deserves a spot. Why not the solo? Well because I wouldnt pick the one you like. There are actually two recordings of tie my rope, and I like the "not album" version, but not enough to actually go onto this list.
Hatecrew Death Roll shouldve been on this list, I get it, but over the years, i never got the urge to "you have to abosolutely learn this". BUT thats true for each and every one on this list.
So here it is. And if you're wondering, the hardest is bodom beach terror if you ask me. Thats absolutely insane. I tapped one part cuz I have absolutely no idea how alexi could actually consistently alternate pick that...I mean thats sixteenth triplets at 145bpm. Alternate picked. Two notes per string. At that clarity. Thats absolutely nuts. If I getting to that speed for that, i let you know and revisit that part. Sometimes you gotta do work arounds if you get stuck.
And thats absolutely fine.
Anyways.

(you did an amazing job 🤍! rip alexi)
Thank you! I'll put that later in the description :)
Man, you just RIP through these. Incredible playing. Laiho really wrote the best solos in metal, didn't he?
WOW. Only after second solo I have realized that this is actually somebody else than original Alexi. Great work.
You were my hero when I was a teenager... I haven't heard heavy metal a long time ago but I heard that Alexi passed away a few years ago and I couldn't believe it....
You were a very important part of my life cause I wanted to play like you and be in a band like you... Rest in peace
If ever COB/BAM decides to do a tribute show for Alexi with someone else standing in as a singer (and I hope they do), I believe that you would be the best candidate
Well. I could absolutely do the vocals 😂 check my other videos of you like...but...this will never happen. I mean alexi was COB, was BAM...like there would be a lot of hate from people if they choose to do this. I guess at least. I don't know. I wouldn't even know if i would accept. Tough talks about something that will probably never happen. In the end I'm actually just a nobody on the internet.
@@Dignityofficial_ everybody Start with a "nobody" status. If u Want it you'll be there . I mean u already got the skills 😉
If cob would make an tribite it would be best from the hate to danile freyberg to be lead and otherwise original but i dont know about the lyrics who could do that
And this, when reading your comment, is when I realized it actually isn't Alexi playing D:
BTW, like last week Henkka/Jaska/Janne said that there will be no tribute show, because Alexi wouldn't have wanted that
Happy to see Sixpounder on here. That was the solo that turned me onto Bodom. You did a terrific job paying homage to Alexi 🤘
Great Camera Quality, tone and of course heavnly playing. I'm so impressed! Amazing! Subbed :D 🤘🏻🖤💕
Thank you so much 💜🙏🏻😭
This needs way more views, Alexi is smiling down from heaven….from which he was supposedly banned from
Absolutely amazing dude!
Dude I’ve been an Alexi fan for 20 years now. I agree with your solo pics I love each one you did. You play flawless perfect. I’ve been playing guitar 28 years and Metallica pantera bodom been my influences and you play it so well. Very impressed and great choices. Rock on dude. Keep them coming
Dude it took me until the second solo to realize it wasn't actually Alexi himself sitting there and playing. Like I legit thought ''So this guy is showing Alexi doing the solo first and then himself?? I was so confused x) But these solo's were amazing maybe the best I've ever seen someone cover them!
At first I didn't notice that it wasn't Alexi playing but then the tattoos made me take a closer look! Man your playing is flawless!
You rock dude! /../
Amazing tribute!❤️. He will be missed 😢. Unfortunately I found out over a year late, had no clue. A life cut short, unfortunately we won't be able to see what he really could've achieved, collabs or the new project. Definitely his legacy will live on, he had an amazing gift. This is the best tribute I've found, you're an amazing artist! 👏
omfg! a tribute? you have just impersonated him! Fucking amazing dude!
I can't believe it bro, I thought you were alex at first glance and your playing is really perfect
Exactly 1 year ago, Alexi passed away, REST IN POWER
Yeah. Time flies by like crazy.
@@Dignityofficial_ I remember as yesterday when i saw on Loudwire the new of his death.
I was at work, and I got messages from a couple people suddenly...and they said, yo alexi died, and I was like noooooooooooooooooo.
Was a shitty day. But so many people reached out, even people i forgot about. Still. Shitty day.
@@Dignityofficial_ Yeah, it's so sad, i wish he is still alive. Such a great musician.
Absolutely devastating loss for the music scene.
Like i get it, there were far more superior musicians in terms of "crazyness" eg Jason Richardson BUT alexi was able to make really good songs, harmonies, structures, technicality etc. It was just perfect that mix of a really good song in general and his playing style and techniques.
Truly a big loss. Still hurts and I guess it will always do.
Definitely did him justice man. Great chops. RIP
Thank you so much 💜
He'll forever hold a place in the history of metal guitar. Rest in peace, Alexi. We all miss you!
Tie My Rope is such an underrated solo of his. Very difficult to play
Definitely. And everything about this is so counterintuitive. It's amazing.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute bro. Rock on!!!
SCREW that spider chord in Tie My Rope 😂 I tried for ages to get that down but my fingers didn't know how to finger
Props for the Sioux City Sarsaparilla solo! I love that shit. Nice guitar too btw!
Killer playing bro🤘
Très bon travail, félicitations. 👏😎🤘
Un très bel hommage à notre amis alexi...
Impeccable, as always. Great job!
💜🙏🏻 i can't thank you all enough
I love this
Feels like him..
Alexi in heaven rockin out with Randy Rhodes Jimmie Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen .. fking rights alexi easy top 10 guitarists all time. Aen him 4 times live
Great job and great tribute! Cant wait to hear more from you!
There will be more 💜 thank you!
ahhhhh 🤘🏻👏🏻🫨 woah speechless, i’m feeling so many emotions right now 🥺👏🏻
HOLY SHIT. You hit those basically perfectly o.o
Thanks for this. It's been a year and it's still weird to think about, as if it was not real, y'know?
Thank you so much 💜 really appreciate your words!
Yeah, it's still weird. Always though about me rocking out on his concerts till he's 70.
I love the fact you give time to all of the albums throughout your videos. Many people solely focus on the first three, but I really do like them all. It's nice to see!
Still didn't play any of the latest two albums yet. But damn. I really don't want to tune guitars down to drop B haha.
Yeah. To be fair. I love each and every album. There wasn't a bad album, for me at least.
Absolutely phenomenal playing man, you crushed every single solo and added the flair that I dont thin Alexi was given enough credit for. Keep up the great work!
that's just beautiful, a worthy tribute to the great Alexi. Thanks man!
Thank you 💜 really appreciate you!
This is the best cover compilation of his solos I've ever seen....well done dude.
Thank you so much! 💜
Really means a lot to me!
I've been thinking the entire time it's Alexi's that's playing
Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just me lol.
You absaloutly nailed it bro!! Those things arent that easy and you did all of it without a mistake. Big respect for you bro
Thank you so much 💜🙏🏻 really appreciate your words.
Masterfully done!!!!!
Living Dead Beat, Bodom Beach Terror and Kissing the Shadows are absolutely iconic solos. Perfectly played too, well done. RIP Alexi
Amazing work man!!! Great tribute to a fallen legend.
Thank you so much man 💜🙏🏻
Wonderful kissing the shadows solo.
How did you learned it?. Some guide to follow and practice?
Wow, very impressive! You definitely have some serious skills, but what floors me the most is the incredible tightness of your cover! At that speed, and with these technically challenging parts, and the musicianship, it’s just jaw-dropping!👍🏼
Thank you 🙏🏻💜
Alexi? Are you alive?
How does a guy write this kind of solos.. wtf, you did excellent job🤘
Talent, passion and hard work
Great video! Missed hellbounds on my trail. That solo is sick
Endlich! ich habe lange Zeit darauf gewartet. Ich bin schon aufgeregt.
heh 💜
Fuckin missing him.
we all do...so sad
Dude I fully agree with your description, all of these solos give me the feeling "I need to learn it". Awesome playing, nice tone and two beautiful guitars. Great job dude! Hopefully I'll be able to learn most of these solos this year. I just started to play guitar consistently. I've had a guitar for like 4 years but I have always been super on/off with it. Basically playing for 2 days to a week and then not even touching it for months. I just decided to pick it back up a few weeks ago after not playing for almost 8 months or something like that. Feeling really inspired to learn all the bodom stuff right now. Have a good day man!
Someone who reads descriptions! Haha. Nice to hear that you feel the same about those solos.
Hope you're able to pull it off this year! Practice and playing is just so satisfying and beautiful, I'm glad you getting a tighter schedule.
And that's I'm all about. This channel is just for the purpose to entertain people and maybe motivate some to pick up their guitar more regularly and start having fun with that.
Your comment really really makes my day and I appreciate it very much.
Have a lovely day 💜 and hopefully a much better year guitar wise!
That was SICK!
That was fucking spot on, you didn't miss a single note, you are extremely talented and deserve more subscribers
Thank you so much💜 i really appreciate this!
Well you know, it's not about subscribers for me or getting views, it's all about having fun, maybe put a smile or whatsoever on somebody's face. And that's enough for me ☺️
@@Dignityofficial_ I was certainly impressed, I loved it, alexi would have liked this
R.I.P Alexi Laiho 🙏🙏
Glad you popped up in my feed! Damn fine job on these bangers, kissing the shadows is still a standout, that things nasty.
I don't think there is really a way to choose "the best" solo, however there is one that still stands out to me to this day, I don't know what he was feeling in the studio that day, but you know it was something heavy, when recording the solo for All for Nothing. Truly beautiful.
Thank you so much for your words 💜
Awesome playing mate🤘
Veryveryveryvery well done dude! Sounds so great!!!
Thank you so much!
It was a honor to hear you play. Very well played!
What a beautiful video
Oh no, i missed the live premiere ... because i had to work🤪
Well my dear you made an awesome last video for 2021, a fuckn great tribute to Alexi!👍🏻🖤
I always enjoy your Vids and I like you a lot!🤗
Wish you the best for the next year... stay strong and keep on rocking! 💜🤘🏻
so much joy during your vid. so much cries when it came the end, with this picture of alexis's smile.
I'm listening his music almost everyday of my life. can't stop hearing this shit!
I feel so alive when I'm listening his music.
the annonce of his death was like a bad dream, i'm waiting for waiking up since.
like I said before, your covers are so energy powerfull and generous, some kind of same energy as Alexis's.
thank you for all of that stuff! take care bro.
Thank you man! Hope you're doing fine.
Maybe someday the pain will fade. I just cope with music, it makes fun and you just feel a bit connected to his music.
If you don't want to, don't stop listening. It's fine. I do the same. But sometimes I gotta get off reality and listen to something else. What ever works for you.
Thank you for you lovely words 💜 i hope it will get better.
Awesome as usual 🔥
Thank you so much 🙏🏻💜
beautiful indeed.
Kissing the shadows.......best guitar solo ever.....rip alexi...
I've seen a lot of kissing the shadows guitar solo covers but this is by far the best🔥 And all the other solos as well, good job!
Thank you so much 💜 i really appreciate this 🙏🏻
@@Dignityofficial_ Are you planning to do more CoB solo videos? Northpole Throwdown or Roadkill Morning would be sick🤘🏼
@@DaniTheDead yes i absolutely do. Still need to tune down a guitar for the new stuff, but i absolutely want to cover some more solos.
Just for like my imaginary bucket list. I take a note on these two!
But since RRF is my all-time favorite album, i guess I have to cover each one anyway haha.
@@Dignityofficial_ Great to hear! I love RRF aswell and I think it's a bit underrated album.
@@DaniTheDead definitely! I never reaaaally understood the hate it got.
But i only can guess. The mix is way off standard metal recordings (but i absolutely love the mix on that album, killer job!) and the overall song structures and writings are a bit chaotic, but in a good way. Nothing except not my funeral got that "catchy" riff/melody from the start. You gotta listen to it over and over again to appreciate what they came up with.
In more casual terms: it's too complicated to "just listen and relax", you gotta listen to it carefully.
But that's just my observation i did over the years. Most people can't even articulate why they dislike certain things.
They just do.
Goddamn you do justice! Great playing bro!
Thank you 💜
Amazing
Awesome definitely nailing it.
Perfection
Awesome bro! As always 🖤
Thank you so much 💜
Damn, you destroyed that sh!t. Very impressive work my man, keep it up. Also, thumbs up for putting Kissing the shadows on nr.1, I personaly think that one is the best solo from all of their albums. Also, the end of The Nail is very nice, maybe include that one next time!
This is so sick man
I’m late af, but I must say loved every second of it!! The list should be top 100 because I loved every single note he made, but joke aside kudos to the guitarist, you rock!
Also, I remember when Chester passed away, the way he died and all, it hit me hard, but I have never in all my life hurt so bad as when Alexi passed… even to this day every now and then I just cry nonstop while listening to CoB.. he was my favorite musician after all…
holy F# shit🤟🤘 he is very proud from above of his great work🤟🤘
Sick guitar playing!!
C. O. B.. The greater metal bandbin the world.. My favourite song, lake bodom.. I Miss u alexi 🤘🙏😭🤲
Amazing tribute!
Thank you 💜🙏🏻
It's crazy to think that one guy made all these solos. Glad I found cob when I was 9 years old and hatebreeder came out, rip alexi 🤘
Love this!
You are so good man, that is amazing. I thought you were the master himself at first lol
as usual, u rock man !
Bro
This is insane
Thank you very mucho 💜
Alexi was the Best! You represent his legacy on an equal footing!!! Youre Guitar Play is so fucking awesome… I Miss him so much…
Thank you so much, this really means a lot to me!
Awesome bro🖤
Thank you 💜🙏🏻
My first COB song I heard was "If you want peace prepare for war" and I was hooked on their stuff ever since that. Lots of good shredding and heavy riffing this band was a gold mine for just good heavy stuff that you can put on any album of.
The song Children of Bodom has a kickass solo.
This was amazing 👍
Thank you so much I really appreciate you 💜
wow sick playing great groove !!!
Thank you so much 💜🙏🏻
Still can’t believe he’s gone
:(
Fuckin' PERFECT, as always! \m/ Really good top 10 list too. Thanks for uploading
Not bad!🤟👌
Surprised to not see follow the reaper, every time I die, or hate me.. killer anyways!
Best tribute ever👍
awesome!
Thank you 💜
Hells yeah my dude! You are such a joy to watch!! Kissing The Shadows was 🔥 🔥 Looks like you’ve been getting new ink???
Thank you so much 💜 last year I didn't get any new ink, but maybe next year!
That's a great tribute to Alexi from you. Excellent job! I moved to Spain last NOV, but visited Finland (my mom's homeland) for Christmas. Couldn't help it, I made "a pilgrimage" to Alexi's grave(took some flowers with me and left them there) and also to his residence in Vuosaari, where, unfortunately, he passed away. This had a very emotional effect on me, esp visiting his grave. Anyways, If you had to choose to play one COB solo in public, what would it be? I know I'm asking a lot, but this really interests me. Awesome combo of Alexi's "immortal" solos and you covered them excellently. Happy new year to you! ✨ Keep up the good work & videos, I always watch them, most often several times a video. All the best ♥️ te mando un fuerte abrazo! Saludos desde Las Palmas, España 💜
Oh that sounds lovely. Hope you still had a great time!
Happy new year to you too! That's so great to hear that you appreciate the stuff that i do, its really lovely to hear. Thank you for that! 🙏🏻💜
One solo in public?
Hm. That's tough and depends i guess. I mean kissing the shadows is a killer guitar solo but you can mess up alot along the way.
So I actually got to go with the not my funeral solo. It's soooo well written and not that tough to play live. So yeah. I guess it would be not my funeral.
@@Dignityofficial_ Both solos are great choices! Hope one day we'll see your version of...'kissing the shadows' lol...practice, practice and...practice 😁 (don't take any pressure, just kidding. Tho I'm sure you can do it). Have a nice week! 💜
Wow !!!
My duuddee.. how do you play so good!!
Thank you so much dude 💜 just practice my ass off. Nothing more, nothing less haha. Much love to you 💜🙏🏻
Perfecto
Fuck... One Year and it still hurts so much! 😭🖤🤘🏻
(Freu mich schon sehr auf's Video... Dankeschön dafür mein lieber.💜)
Yeah. Already one year. Feels like i made the mistake to blink and a year passed.
@@Dignityofficial_ Oh yeah damn right... the year went by so fast!
Such a big loss, he had the gift of handling all that music stuff
so that great compositions came out... that's what stays with us forever!💜🤘🏻
First I was confused why 10 solos takes so long (7 minutes 39s sounds more like 15 solos) but then I realised you're crazy enough to learn Kissing The Shadows, probably the hardest solo among CoB songs? The sweep picking on that one is hella difficult IMO. Among my favorite solos you included one (Bodom Beach Terror), but I also love Are You Dead Yet (for good and unique sound) and the Touch Like Angel Of Death live Japan version (Tokyo Warhearts).
蜂Tいいね👍 Your playing solos also insane!
