Hey, just wondering what anyone thought of Alexi Laiho. I have not lietened to Children of Bodom, but I have been wating to get into harder music. Are these guys good? I am a Mudvayne fan from back in the day, so I do like to try to play the harder edged every now and again.

I've not really listened to Children of Bodom. But I still like Pantera and Symphony X is good to me. Symphony X is more like prog metal, they're similar to Dream Theater, but harder IMHO. Mike Romero is scary good on guitar.

Yeah, I don't like Dream Theater at all. Sorry if I offend, but to me John Petrucci just doesn't put anything into it except for technical ability. I am a fan of some Metallica, and I am wondering what their new album, with Rick Rubin producing, will be like. I am not usually a metal player, but I have just had this itch lately for faster, more punch. I do like the Jazz and blues tuff, but I am wanting more.

Alexi's a beast. I wish, though that his stuff was just a little bit less heavy on the vocal side. If he could get closer to being a singer, I think Bodom would really go somewhere.


Having said that, I still like 'em.

Really cool.

I recently got into COB and I want to sit down with Alexi and see what I can learn. He plays stuff that is fast and kick you in the pants, technically. Kind of reminds me of Dime in the early years of Pantera. He has a style that would resemble a hurricane on steroids, can't wait to see what happens in the future. Check him out at the 2008 NAMM show video if you can.
