Only Children of Bodom Thread.

[Magero]

CODY, FOR THE LAST TIME!
OUT OF MY GODDAMN KITCHEN!

[the memory]

Are tickets on sale yet?
yep, going for mine tomorrow :D

[eazy-c]

I need to get my Bloodstock ticket first but I doubt they'll sell out.

[webbtje]

Canny wait for Cannibal Corpse and Children of Bodom :D

Must say, most random tour selections ever :p:

Might pop along.

[eazy-c]

Anyone know anything about this Diablo band?

[webbtje]

I know this:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nmslk0coiRk

Not sure if I like or not. Singer even tries to look like Hetfield, for god's sake.

[eazy-c]

Hmmm, some of it is good, other bits not so much.

[webbtje]

Just listening to their other songs, a good 60% of their stuff is melodic chuggy chug. Not up my street, I have to say.

[eazy-c]

That Living Dead Superstar (rip-off name olololol) sounds exactly like Combustion.

[Delanoir]

I wonder what it says about Finland that bands like Diablo are what "radio rock" sounds like.

But hey, I like it. :haha

And he totally looks like Hetfield.

[spaceace12342]

COB is amazing. and amazing live. I like the guitar on the older albums, but i like the vocals more on the newer ones (Hate Crew to Blooddrunk)

Bodom After Midnight is a killer song

[webbtje]

That Living Dead Superstar (rip-off name olololol) sounds exactly like Combustion.

The Meshuggah song? Or am I getting confused here...

[the memory]

"melodic chuggy chug" = fail
lol

i will be using that description in future though!

really does sound like metallica a LOT, especially in the vocals

[eazy-c]

The Meshuggah song? Or am I getting confused here...

Yeah, that's the one.

[condork]

Off to see em tomorrow night with slipknot and machinehead
my 3 favourite band ever woop!

[King ofKumbucha]

lmao, hope you don't get hit in the face by some nu-metalers awesome hip chains!

Chains and parachute pants... if that isn't metal I don't know what is.

Alexi died this morning :(

















that's right, my guinea pig died this morning, he had extreme diarrhea and shat his bowels out.

he was only a week old, and he was named after Alexi Laiho, so i figured its almost relevant to this thread

that's terribly sad. I give you my condolences.


on topic, I've recently gotten into CoB, and I quite like them. Sixpounder is my favorite song by them, followed by in your face.

Every year we must now honor three metal brethren in December.

Dime on the 8th

Chuck on the 13th

and now... Alexi the metal hamster on the 12th

RIP my furry friend \m/

Still... shitting your bowels out is pretty brutal.

[Ibanezshred333]

What do hamsters have to do with Children Of Bodom?

[eazy-c]

Read the damn post foo'.

[IronMaiden5]

Still... shitting your bowels out is pretty brutal.
Agreed.

[teethdude]

What do hamsters have to do with Children Of Bodom?
Alexi was the hamster's name or something like that

[metallicafan616]

the metal guinea pig :)

we buried it earlier, took a while to dig the whole, and decorate the coffin/shoebox.

Vitek is November but that's close enough I suppose isn't it?

[Magero]

Vitek was the second of November.

[TheMantipede]

I feel very ashamed for not knowing that. :sad:

I will gladly accept any punishment that is given out...

[Magero]

I remember, because it was the day before I saw Machine Head, Arch Enemy and Trivium. Was uber psyched for the show and then I got the news....

[ScalyGuitarrist]

He left this realm but prooved his l337n3$ and now he is t3h pwnz0rz hamster in heaven

My gerbil went crazy after the hurricane(I'm in Houston) and she died two weeks ago. I feel your pain, but my little baby was like Chuck...I could see her dying, but there was nothing I could do.

[metalocalypse21]

I only started listening to cob after a friend told me about 3 weeks ago. Alexi is one of the best guitarists ever! My fave song of theirs atm is probably everytime I die, but that's cause I can play it =)

[Seth Shadows]

Yeah.
I had a cat named brownie.
My friend put her in the dryer.
She died.
I cried.
Hard.
Now I have brownie II.


On a more important note, get some bodom discussion going, faggots.
I'm bored.

[metalocalypse21]

To commemorate alexi and his brave actions I shall put him in my sig.

RIP ALEXI 12/12/08

[Munchlaxatives]

Why do Alexi and Roope solo differently in Sinergy than they do in Bodom?

[whalepudding]

Because it's a different band

[CodySG]

I hate Children of Bodom.

HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!!!!! GHEY BAND!!!!! GHEEEEYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That said, I really haven't been listening to a lot of Bodom as of late... haven't really been listening to much of anything...in zee writing/recording mode as of late.

Haven't really been playing much Bodom either as I've moved up to a 7 string and as stated before, have been focusing on original material.

The Storm is brewing my Children...soon......soon...

You all?

The lesson here: don't drink alcohol and post incoherent drivel.

[CodySG]

Except I'm perfectly sober?

The oldies will get it...I haven't been around in a while...

[King ofKumbucha]

Holy ****, I almost didn't recognize your name... how've you been???

[Magero]

We've missed you :p:

Same, actually.

[Magero]

Wait, who has a 7-string now?

[CodySG]

I have a 7 string now.

Best. Decision. Evar.

Still like 6, still play 6, 7 is so ****ing cool and fun and awesome.

Thanks everyone missed you as well! This year's been a ****ing whirlwind....I don't remember half of it and the other half has me beating my head saying what was I thinking lol!

We must make music!

[Magero]

SEEEEEVEEEEN STRIIIING.
What kind?

[Delanoir]

Yeah, 7's are awesome. I still have blueprints and plan for a 7-string RR, but it might take a different form. As of yet I've been playing a Jeff Loomis sig that isn't mine. Great guitar, but I'm just not a big fan of Strat-shaped guitars. Little bit boring to me, personally.

It may just be 4 more notes, but damn those notes are awesome.

[CodySG]

It's strange...but I find that any other body style BESIDES a SS style looks kind of odd on 7 strings....

That said, a seven string V would be pretty cool, I don't know about an RR though...

Yeah, the loomis is pretty cool. I just got an Agile though.

Mahog body, maple neck through, blue quilt top, maple fb no inlay, string through TOM, coil tapping...all for under $600 USD?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Getting a fb cab for the VHT probably next week, some more recording stuff...it's going to be a good new year :evil: !!!

[Delanoir]

The only thing I might not like about a 7-RR would be that it might look too fat for the shape.

And we clearly have different aesthetic tastes. I hate quilted maple. And maple fretboards. :p:

But I do love the look of no inlays.

And VHT's are badass. They were used on a lot of earlier Bodom albums. You know, just to keep this at least somewhat on topic.

EDIT: My backup shape for the 7-string I'm making is a Gibson-style Flying V, or the Explorer.

[CodySG]

Yeah, that's why I think a regular V would be pretty cool, but like said the RR might look strange because of the thickness.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for the purrrdy colors and the maplely mapleness!

Agile makes a 7 string explorer type guitar. Pretty sure they have color options and floyd/non-floyd versions.

Also, didn't Alexi only use the 2/90/2 on HCDR/AYDY? I thought he used Peavey power amps for the earlier stuff, then the VHT power amp, then the Marshall head?

At least in the studio. He's gone through everything live.

[Magero]

http://www.kyowashokai.co.jp/caparison%20dellinger/dellinger7%20problack.gif

Lord of the 7-stringed flies.

[Delanoir]

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm going to make rough styrofoam models to see how the shapes look to scale and (more or less) in hand.

I've seen they're explorer, and its cool, but I'm ridiculously picky with Explorer shapes, and it just doesn't do it for me. It is nice, though.

And you're partially right. The VHT was used on AYDY (for some reason I thought it was FTR, too, but I was wrong). The earlier albums, though, were (not counting the Lee Jackson, which he's pretty much always used) actually a back and forth between a 5150 and ENGL E840/50.


Lord of the 7-stringed flies.

I love Caparison, but Strats still do nothing for me.

The only exception to that for me, inexplicably, is an EVH-style (to at least some degree) one.

[Magero]

Borng masterpiece > pointy crap
:p:

[Shinozoku]

COOOODDYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! DUDE! AWESOME!How long ya gonna stay this time?! :D

We've missed ya man! Awesome to hear about the cab, recording equipment, and 7-string :D

Check out mah new ampz0rz :peace:

Does anybody have Alexi Laiho's Rock House instructional DVD? Is it any good? I may get it for Christmas.

i need a caparison :(

[Bodomized]

Does anybody have Alexi Laiho's Rock House instructional DVD? Is it any good? I may get it for Christmas.

I'm getting stage one for Christmas.
It looks pretty cool.
It comes with a downloadable version that you can put on an ipod also, which I think is pretty cool.

[Delanoir]

Alexi's Rockhouse DVD is okay, but not great.

Purely on how helpful and educational it is, anyway. Otherwise it's pretty cool.

[ZylitoL]

There's ought to be at least 10 other instructional videos that trump this one. The tone is atrocious as well on that vid as well.

Get Rock Discipline by JP, imo the best instructional video around. Other guys like Gilbert and Gambale might teach better string skipping and sweeping respectively, but overall Rock Discipline is the most comprehensive one out there.

EDIT: Of course, unless your sole purpose is to learn CoB stuff, then all that I've said above is moot.

I'll check out Petrucci's video then. I think Google Video has the full lesson.

[CodySG]

I enjoyed it, then again I DID basically just buy it because it's a piece of CoB/Alexi merch. I did learn some stuff though, and it's cool to jam along with.

PiAMP! Nice Randall :D how does the Vader sound? I've been gassing to try a Vader for a long ass time...

Also, your acoustic has the same name as my bong :haha

Cappy's are nice...REAL nice...but I can't justify the price up in the 7 from the 6. Also, I'll probably end up with a Sherman for my main 7...when I get the money :(

I do want a 6 string cappy at some point though :)

Are you sure it's just 5150/engl? I would bet my soul that I saw on Sythes a long time ago that it was the GP-1000 with an old Peavey 30/30 and some 5150 a lot of 5150 live, then the ENGL, then the...

God damn it...****ing Alexi just pick something...

[Delanoir]

Did you learn anything useful aside from how to play some Bodom songs a bit better?

And if you really want to complete rundown of gear...

[CodySG]

Just wanted to see where the peavey was :) I knew it was in there somewhere.

And no...but I got to stare at Alexi's sexi for a while...so that's cool.

Plus the backing tracks from the website are pretty cool.

But like I said...it was CoB/Alexi merch lol!

[Magero]

Lol.
He's not dead.

[stratdud39]

Lol.
He's not dead.

yay!

[Shinozoku]

PiAMP! Nice Randall :D how does the Vader sound? I've been gassing to try a Vader for a long ass time...

Also, your acoustic has the same name as my bong :haha
Sounds amazing and punchy! I let my friend borrow it for a show, cuz his other guitarist flipped his car and fvcked over his Mesa cab, but he ended up using my friend's cab, and my friend used mine, and said it sounded amazing on stage, and made him want one even more. Still gotta get it back from him.

Also, I have a DiMarzio D Activator X in my Edwards now :) It turned my Ultra XL module into a frikking cannon with the bottom end. I have to keep the bass on that module at noon now to keep from breaking my bones with the sound waves XD

[King ofKumbucha]

Lol.
He's not dead.
:( I wish that were true...

RIP Alexi

[metallicafan616]

thanks for the kind words for alexi, may he rest in peace, rocking wherever he is now :)

[MusicMan24]

CHILDREN OF BODOM KICKS SERIOUS ASS!!!

god, i wanted to see them in milwaukee, but i had no one to go with me, and since im only 14 i cant drive

[Delanoir]

I decided I'm going to pull a Bodom and do a metal cover of a song that's totally not metal.

I'm going to melodeath up a Linkin Park song.

Which one shall I do?

[Magero]

Lying From You.
Easily.

[kenan6346]

Shadow of the Day (that's what it's called right?). Haha that'll be a toughy ;)

[spaceace12342]

the hellraiser 7 string is awful.

[Magero]

....
Uh...
K?

[Delanoir]

Hmm, nice. I may just have to actually do this. I like your idea Jack, though I suppose the other one could turn into a Doom, Swallow the Sun-style song.

This should be fun. :haha

the hellraiser 7 string is awful.
Tell that to Jeff Loomis.

[spaceace12342]

I'm just sayin. I played one at Guitar Center and wasn't pleased at all.

[the memory]

the hellraiser 7 string is awful.
what?


its not like anybody from COB uses a 7 let along a schecter one....

[spaceace12342]

people were talking about 7 strings earlier. I was just saying, the hell raiser 7 string isnt good. at least the one i played wasnt.

[Magero]

Yeah, in that case, quote them first, don't just burst in like that.
People have no clue what you're talking about.

[CodySG]

Yeah, in that case, quote them first, don't just burst in like that.
People have no clue what you're talking about.

Why yes! I do have a penis.

...

Anyway, the only thing I don't really like about the Hellraisers is there seem to be some lemons, so try before buying, the rosewood with that damn abalone, and the neck is coated in sticky slime!!!!!

STICKY SLIME!!!!!! LIKE SEMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But yeah...if you can find a good one that doesn't have any booboos and shave the neck, they play pretty nice for the cost.

Still...I'd rather a C-1 :)

[Magero]

Demon 7FR.
That is all

[[ LiAm ]]

I decided I'm going to pull a Bodom and do a metal cover of a song that's totally not metal.

I'm going to melodeath up a Linkin Park song.

Which one shall I do?


haha oops i did it again...

sorry bodom, but its still ****. its the only bodom song i hate. they should have completely scrapped britneys vocals and just used the words then completely metal it up.

EDIT: are u proud magero? i quoted

[CodySG]

Also, just do your favorite LP song.

...

I think I hear my parents having sex....I'm not sure though...I hope not :(

I might bust into the drinkadydrink to make the horrible thoughts go away....

ATHF makes it better though :) evil Robonanny!!!!! YEAH!!!! I KNOW YOUR ON DRUGS!!!!! OPEN UP!!!!!!!!

Max!

Have you cleaned up those bone traps yet?

I've actually thought about doing some earlier Bodom in 7 string B tunned evil madness!

Just remember.

It's either you definitely should play with matches...or you definitely..should... not.....

Which one is it?

[spaceace12342]

Anyway, the only thing I don't really like about the Hellraisers is there seem to be some lemons, so try before buying, the rosewood with that damn abalone, and the neck is coated in sticky slime!!!!!



I can't stand the coating on the neck. And the neck is so thick, it feels like you're playing an SG

[Magero]

Demon 7FR
DEMON

Trust me on this.

[eazy-c]

7 String guitars are gay.

7 String bass is where it's at.

[Magero]

I would love to own a 9-string bass like ChaotH from uneXpecT.
Just to pose with it.
Then I'd play AC/DC songs and the crowd would be like.
"OMG, HE'S PLAYING ACDC WITH A 9-STRING BASS, GIVE HIM MONEY!"
I've had this planned out for some time now. :cool:

[eazy-c]

I seen a guy with a 7 String play Punk.

Using 2 Strings :mad:

[Magero]

What a gimp.

[Vittu0666]

I seen a guy with a 7 String play Punk.

Using 2 Strings :mad:
This kid I used to jam with said that "Nevermore use their 7-strings wrong. They use them like 6-strings." I took that as him trying to say you should only use the B-string because he loves O.C.C. Hardcore.

[spaceace12342]

i wish alexi still played Jackson.

but they were douchebags and wouldnt make him another guitar.

[Magero]

Technically it was Fender's fault.
They treated him like a normal person (oh the horror) and wouldn't make him a new one immediately cause they had other orders to fill.

[Shinozoku]

Still. It would be nice if Alexi played Jackson still. I think his Jacksons look sexyer than his ESPs for some reason... probably because I have a lemon Edwards and don't have the Jackson.. and HE looked so much cooler when he played Jackson.


Fuck it, ESP suits him now :sad:

[spaceace12342]

i think its funny that Jackson is making new guitars that look similar to the "wildchild" lol

http://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/products.php?group=Rhoads-Body&page=1&product=2913024577
Been out for AGES. Only difference is toilet seat inlays and an EMG81 instead of the Jackson J 50BC+Booster. That can be fixed though...

[Magero]

Psh.
Jackson have made them longer than Alexi has been using them.

[Shinozoku]

He was referring to the models that look like Wildchild, Jack :p: Neck through, 24 frets, single pickup, yellow bevels.

i think its funny that Jackson is making new guitars that look similar to the "wildchild" lol
You do realize that while Alexi was still with Jackson, they produced 50 guitars in Finland called the RR-LL's, which were Alexi and Roope's signature guitars, right? You do also realize that the Japanese Jackson company, Jackson Stars, has been producing a single pickup, neck-thru, 24 fret Rhoads for several years now, right?

EDIT: Here's a pic of a Jackson Stars RR-J2SP. I'd post one of an RR-LL, but those pics are damn near impossible to find.

http://static.nettby.no/users/e/n/s/ensi/files/P1020226re.JPG

EDIT 2: By the way, the production of the RR-J2SP's have stopped. Just thought I'd throw that in. Not sure if they stopped producing RR-J2's and RR-J1's though. I think they're still in production.

[the memory]

im not slow ;)

[Delanoir]

I'd totally buy a Jackson Stars RR-J2SP, if they weren't impossible to find now.

And message me Cody, I'm not sure I know what you're referring to.

[Shinozoku]

im not slow ;)
I'm referring to the guy who said they were new.

[the memory]

I'm referring to the guy who said they were new.
ah i see!
lol

ahaha my mistake!

yeh the stars ones are pretty sweet
whats the deal with them anyway?
are they basically just japanese brand jacksons? kinda like edwards to ESP?

[Delanoir]

Yeah, pretty much. That model isn't made anymore, either. Which is why it's so hard to find.

Oh, and here are some entertaining screencaps from Alexi's Rockhouse DVD.

So - What's your favorite Bodom guitar solo? I've been obsessed with Bodom Beach Terror for the past week.

[Delanoir]

Tie My Rope, easily. Tastiest solo I've heard in ages.

[TheMantipede]

The second solo in the original version of Tie My Rope I always thought was pretty meh, but the one on Blooddrunk is awesome.

For myself however, it's between Downfall, Deadnight Warrior, and the 2nd solo in Sixpounder. All so damn good.

[Magero]

Clichéd response time.

Kissing the Shadows :p:

Yeah, I meant the Blooddrunk version of the song.

And those are definitely good ones, too. As is the one in Everytime I Die. I love the slides in the beginning of it.

[CodySG]

God... I hate/love/hate/pours another/love/hate/drink it pours another/hate drinking....

Now I have to stay up and sober up befdore sleeping so as I don't have a hangover :(

That said, the sixpounder solo is ****ing sexy as hell, very tasty use of penta power!!!! Also like Everytime I Die and Angels Don't Kill a lot.

That said, I really do feel that Downfall is the complete CoB package. I think it represents all of what and why Children of Bodom was made and all that they stand for.

You two! Fight to the death!!!

God...I feel like Janne in that second picture....

Shares my our B-Day!!!! April 26th Biatch!!!!

Also, second from the last picture of Alexi on the last page....totally me......playing guitar......oh yeah..

Also...me wants ghey pink guitar :(

Also, also, I love Jackson and ESP, but I wish that Fender just left Jackson alone :( and that the CS wasn't obnoxiously over priced and the wait wasn't stupid. ESP's CS is better priced and the wait is a little better....plus ESP's luthiers are some of the best in the world, not saying their better thanb JAckson's, but they are really good.

That said, it's basically a matter of taste but...I think that ESP *even mroe so with the Alexi models* are probably a better buy than a Jackson of equal value in my opinion.

Reason I like the ESP RR's over the Jackson are two fold... 1. I hate front loaded w/ pick guards and 2. Being a bigger guy, ESP's RR bodys *being a bit larger than Jackson RR's* fit my body better and just feel more comfortable over all.

Bodom!!!!!!

[CodySG]

For real...?

Yeah...

*reported*

Also, not ALL of CoB, but I've been addicted to Somebody is Watching me past couple of days :haha

[Alter-Bridge]

CodySG, that was the most rambling, go nowhere post I've ever read.

[Delanoir]

Wait, who did you report Cody?

And I totally agree with why you like the ESP RR's over the Jackson ones. I hate the pickguards too, and like the slightly bigger body.

But you can't forget the satin-finished neck being way better than the painted ones on the Jackson.

[CodySG]

Ehhh...on CS models, or really high end stuff usually painted necks don't really bother me.

But I do prefer satin :)

There was a CS white 24, floyded, no pick guard Jackson RR with a satin neck on ebay some time ago that was pretty sexy.

I try...rambling is an art form I've perfected.

Some wank came in, quoted your last post with all the pics, and then posted a youtube video of the famous shoe throw....

[Delanoir]

Ah, really? Thanks man, you always got my back. :D

But yeah, that does sound sexy. I was on the prowl for another guitar (aren't we always?) and originally thought I was going to try something different, but I think I'll just get another RR-shape. I just love them too much, haha.

Here are a few other random but hopefully entertaining pictures.

Hell yeah at the last two!

Brotherly pound to very homoerotic crotch stare!

BOOOOODDDOOOOM!!!!!

If you are really gunning for another RR, might try a Jackson just for the **** of it.

Honestly though, I might try to get a full on V. Then you'd have the best of both worlds!

And Bodom fans always have each others back ;)

...

Or I eat them...

[CodySG]

probably because I have a lemon Edwards

What?!?!?! I've heard nothing but great things!?

What's wrong with it?

[Delanoir]

Yeah, I was going to try some Jacksons actually, give them another shot.

Full V as in King V style, or Gibson Flying V?

[Alter-Bridge]

Is Alexi playing an acoustic in that last picture?

[CodySG]

Yeah, they had some in Inearthed...including a very familiar riff ;)

King V of course lol we in Metal-Land, no room for non sharp pointies!!!!

[spaceace12342]

Who else in here likes the song Done With Everything. Die For Nothing?

I love the guitar in the verse, and of course the solos are amazing.

[CodySG]

I love it.

Then again, I love all of BD O.o...

Not that I didn't like AYDY, but I feel BD was a way more solid album.

[spaceace12342]

i like all of there albums but they sound a lot better Hatecrew and everything after

[CodySG]

Ehhh...I don't know about all that now...

I think maybe they're more polished, but I think that if you were to take old skool Bodom and give it the production and over all more mature sounding vibe of the newer stuff it would sound pretty killer.

[the memory]

i prefered the tone of the earlier stuff personally :/

[spaceace12342]

i like the solos in the older stuff the most. but i like the sound of the newer albums

[Delanoir]

Which albums you like more all depends solely on your own personal tastes.

[Delanoir]

Oh, and here are Alexi's amp settings.

http://i43.tinypic.com/533egy.jpg

[Alter-Bridge]

I never expected him to be using the Kerry King signature model. Well, I never expected he'd use Marshall.

[Delanoir]

He's been using it for almost a year now. Since the recording process of BD.

If you think about his influences and tone tastes, it shouldn't really surprise you. Marshall's have a ton of mids, which Alexi is all about. And it's a no-nonsense amp, with one channel that's great at overdriven guitar.

Plus, other people have used the JCM800 are the Ozzy guitarists for starters, which we know he draws from. Plus a ton of others.

[King ofKumbucha]

I always thought his treble setting was a lot higher.

[Delanoir]

I always thought his treble setting was a lot higher.

It might have been before. You always have to fuss a bit when it's a different head, since they all (of course) have different voicing.

Usually his mids would be a little higher, too. And I think bass is usually a little lower.

But basically, if you're only thinking about the mix and not the dial settings, his mids are always the highest, followed by treble, then bass.

[Shinozoku]

I always thought his treble setting was a lot higher.
It is on his Lee Jackson preamp, where he has it and the mids set full up (with a mid shift at 3). Incidentally, I've found myself copying his Lee Jackson settings somewhat on my SL+ module (only I actually have my mids at 8 with my treble at 5 and bass at 7). I'll try his JCM800KK settings later and see how they sound through my Randall :) I hope to get the JCM800 mod done to that module soon too, so that'll be a plus (more cutting mids, even when scooped :))
What?!?!?! I've heard nothing but great things!?

What's wrong with it?
Bridge was installed 1/8th inch too close to the neck, so it can't intonate properly. Gonna have the pocket routed out (don't talk to me about resale value, I'm keepin this bitch forever :p: ) further back and the trem reset so it will intonate and I can get all the tuning stability, note clarity, and sustain that guitar offers. Plus it should warm up the tone a bit by essentially making the pickup slightly closer to the neck, and I'm certainly not against that.

[Delanoir]

Let us know how those setting work out when you try them. It'll be interesting to see how it differs from the Randall to the Marshall.

And I was thinking about getting the pink sawtooth Edwards, but hopefully it won't have any issues. I wasn't worried before, but now I'm wary.

[Shinozoku]

And I was thinking about getting the pink sawtooth Edwards, but hopefully it won't have any issues. I wasn't worried before, but now I'm wary.
Right after ordering mine I heard that some of the Edwards models had sustain issues, but they should generally have good quality control. It's a little better than the American LTDs from what I heard in that department, but the playability is definitely above the deluxe/signature model LTDs. Just make sure you fill out the warranty card thing so you can send it in if you get one with manufacturing defects. This will involve learning to read Japanese XD

Also, it would probably help if I had my amp loaded with EL34s, and if I had the JCM800 mod done on my SL+ module :p: But I'll definitely do a before and after thing. I wanna get some KT77's to use and couple with my 6L6's that I have stock, and maybe do some preamp tube switching, but I would need money in order to do all that lol!

*takes another look at the settings and laughs his ass off* forgot that was live volume. I can mimic the preamp volume, or I can mimic the master, but not both. Not without destroying the house LOL!

EDIT: Okay, with my master on 1 and the pre on 9. I set the gain at 5 first (to mimic the beast switch setting), and started playing the Lake Bodom riff. I immediately stopped and boosted the gain to 6, and brought the mids to 8 (to compensate for power tube voicing), and it's a GREAT sound for Bodom :) Just gotta pop some 11's on my guitar and try it in the right tuning. Should definitely match then :satan:

[CodySG]

I don't like that much gain on most amps...

The VHT can handle it because it's so tight and dry, it just gives it a rougher almost sandpaperish tone...not in a bad way though, just grity I guess.

I usually keep most of my EQ about the same give or take, they all stay around noonish, then I fiddle with the certain boosts and graphic EQ to fine tune ze tone. Gain usually stays anywhere from 10 o'clock to 1 or 2 o'clock.

That said, the sheer middy-ness of it gives earlier Bodom tone without even trying lol.

[kenan6346]

It's pretty cool that COB use mids, so many death metal bands don't and frankly their tones are terrible.

1 or 2 o'clock is about 6 on the dial, so therefore you do like that much gain :p: Plus, it's a high-mid gain module. It technically counts as high-gain, but it just doesn't feel that high to me, even with my new pickup. I think it's actually a perfect amount though :D

****ed up the JCM800 mod on my SL+ module with a cap that only had 1/10th of the value it needed to be, so now it sounds like a wool blanket is covering it LOL! Gonna go by an electronics store OTHER than Radio Shack and get the right one this time, and have my friend who did the job fix the mod. I see good things in the future though! And I had my pickup fixed, the bare ground wasn't soldered on by the guy who I PAYED $17 to do the job :mad:

[Delanoir]

So Young Guitar put out a new 100% issue, this time on Alexi Laiho. The entire thing is a compilation of all the articles and interviews they've had with him since 1999 till now. It has a ton of pictures from those, plus new ones from all throughout those years. It details his gear setup from the beginning till recently, as well. Came with a DVD of Alexi, where he talks a little bit about each album, his current gear, and how to play a couple licks (with tabs for them) from each album, plus a few random ones and exercises (also with tabs). Pretty interesting.

I kept the gain on my Single Recto at about 3 or 4 and on the 5150 about 2-4.

Well, The SL+ module doesn't have quite as much gain on tap as the 5150 or Recto. It's definitely closer to a hot rodded JCM900. The gain is such as the kind of gain where you have that hollow sounding, but still tight bass when you palm mute. You don't get the gritty, chunky sound, but you get the punchy, 80's metal "chock" sound, if that makes sense.

[CodySG]

Totally.

It's a dry sounding gain, but I was mainly just talking about the KK800.

Really, my only complaint about BD is that I thought it had a bit to much gain...

But, I think the main thing is adding gain to taste, but keeping definition. When that starts to go is when I always stop....no point in playing if people just hear crazy noise. Unless that's what you're going for, but then that's a whole other story :D

[Shinozoku]

Very true, my good sir! I've heard the KH-3 module is like that too. Apparently it's fairly high gain, but somehow has a very dry feel to it. A lot of people use it to emulate a VHT sound because of this, actually.

I agree about the tone on BD though. I loved the voicing, but the gain was a bit too much. I blame the Blackouts, really =/ I think they pushed the amps a bit more than usual, and since Alexi was using essentially the same settings he's used for forever, it was too much with the active pickups. Plus, his switch to the VHT power amp since AYDY could have contributed, as it does use KT88's, adding to the massive OOMPH. You could hear the OOMPH form the power amp in AYDY, but it wasn't until he switched to the blackouts that he started getting too much gain.

[CodySG]

I think with B/O's is it's more of the voicing...

I think that they might color the tone a bit too much...kind of like EMG's, but instead of that frosty, sharp, *almost* sterile tone you just get a sonic overload of everything...

It sounds more natural sure, but to me it basically just raped the sonic EQ and forced everything to super overdrive.

I've heard that the neck B/O is pretty nice sounding in the bridge though...so I might try that someday.

[Gussy7182]

Laiho=God

[CodySG]

Personal opinions of course...

But...in terms of pure abilities to play...Alexi is far from perfect or even on of the best...

Now, he's probably one of my favorite song writers and the biggest influence on why I play guitar. A lot of his lyrics are really good too!

But, he's no where near the best of anything really...

He is one of the most influencial players in modern metal though...and he writes some fecking good music in my opinion.

This is all coming from a HUGE Bodom and Alexi fan, I just try to not be a blind fanboy *not saying you are or that anything is wrong with it* I just can't even go to the Bodom boards anymore because of all the Bodom/Alexi peni suckysucky.

[The Kreator]

I personally hate Alexi. He thinks he is such a bad-ass, so all the queers think that because of his image, the music is good. Now, I'm not saying the music sucks, far from it (Well, we won't count the last two albums :P), what I'm saying is that people just like them because of Alexi and his image, not because of the music. Therefore, by listening to a "bad-ass" guitarist, they think that they are Bad-ass themselves.

[eazy-c]

Alexi has an image?

He just dresses like a normal metalhead.

This post is made of truth. The guy it was directed at is ignorant. Lead guitarists and lead singers both have egos. When you combine the two, you get Alexi.

Shh... Cody... don't say her name too loud or she'll come here looking for m-ImeanAlexi.

[metallica144]

children of bodom is my favourite band =) i saw them with slipknot and imo they should have gotten more playing time -.-'! they got 35 minutes! it was the first time that i saw cob, and after that 35 minutes , i decided to go to there headliner show in Holland ( 12 febr) ! i think i will buy a ticket tomorrow

[I<3Hobos]

I heard "Are You Dead Yet" and i liked the guitar work, though the vocals weren't my cup of tea. What album would be a good one to check out?

[dminishedthingy]

Ha I think AYDY has his best vocals, they get worse and worse the farther you go back.
Maybe check out HCDR.

[The Kreator]

DO NOT get AYDY?

Their second worst album, behind of course Blooddrunk.

Get Follow the Reaper.

[dminishedthingy]

Lol at CoB elitists.
That's their best album.
In my own elitist opinion of course; but bashing AYDY is about as funny as bashing St. Anger.

[The Kreator]

What's so "Elitist" about suggesting the best album???

Most elitists suggest the opposite of the public's opinion :)

[dminishedthingy]

Not that part, the "Don't get AYDY" part.

[Reds3031]

I also enjoyed AYDY? and Blooddrunk. The new album has some of my favorite songs by them - Hellhounds, Blooddrunk, Tie My Rope, Banned From Heaven.

People don't like AYDY? because it was a shift in style for the band. If you like that, then maybe you will like Blooddrunk as well.

[McGelie]

Hatebreeder and SW are my favorites, but I think you will like Hatecrew Deathroll.

[Shinozoku]

I prefer SW and FTR, along with HCDR and BD.

Acronyms...

I use them.

[Vittu0666]

I loved Something Wild, Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper, and Hate Crew Deathroll. I thought Are You Dead Yet? was going to hook me as much as their previous endeavors did, but they didn't. This was because I owned the Trashed, Lost, and Strungout EP and loved the title track.

[dminishedthingy]

Ha I love AYDY but can't stand Blooddrunk. :shrug:

Cool vids, thanks. The tone however, is disturbingly poor.

[BloodRain]

folow the reaper it thier best albums :P

[Delanoir]

Cool vids, thanks. The tone however, is disturbingly poor.
It always does in Instructional Videos, for anyone I've ever seen.

I know YG has them use modeling amps. His JCM800 isn't even turned on.

[ZylitoL]

^There are plenty of instructional videos with good and/or signature tone. The Alexi one (in particular the one with the pink frets) is an extremely strong contender for the worst tone on a modern vid (80s and early 90s vids had some terrible **** as well).

[CodySG]

HB and FTR are probably the two albums that just seem totally, 100% CoB.

That said, I love them all.

Anyone else in love with Knuckleduster? It's probably one of my favorite CoB songs O.o...

[Shinozoku]

Yes I am :cheers:

[TheMantipede]

So earlier today I grew a pair, manned up, and tried to play "Towards Dead End."

Then I crawled back into the corner and realized my fault. :(

Those are great albums, I personally love Blooddrunk though, I like that Bodom sound with elements of Thrash in there.

[TheMantipede]

Plus Alexi TOTALLY hit that.

[Shinozoku]

[TheMantipede]

We all know what he's looking at...am I right?!

Yeah?!

...

Eh?







:confused:

Hm, what is he looking at?

[Shinozoku]

I dunno, maybe Janne's pants are falling down.

[bjovi400]

i just got home from work, so i think im gonna unwind and turn on some Bodom :D

[McGelie]

Man, haven't listened to Bodom in ages. I've been listening to alotta Opeth and Tech Death lately but was listening to Wintersun today. When Jari was screaming it kinda reminded me of Alexi and I put on some Hatebreeder. First metal band I ever got into, good memories. Great album.

[FalseXHope]

I dunno, maybe Janne's pants are falling down.


hahahahaha

[Delanoir]

Here's an old video of Bodom way back in '98 playing The Nail, with Goss on keys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMIhhiBSn0

[dminishedthingy]

:liplick:

Well, we'd have said that if Janne was on keys too...

[Shinozoku]

:haha!!!
I can't wait to watch that vid, I gotta go right now XD I had just read the other day that she did keys for them on a tour or two while Janne was in school.

[misfitsramones]

lol, janne is a smart guy, but giving up bodom for school... dumbass lol.

[Delanoir]

lol, janne is a smart guy, but giving up bodom for school... dumbass lol.
Yeah, I mean seriously. Dropping out of school to be a carpenter to follow your passion in life in a successful band that was already signed and touring?

How stupid. :rolleyes:

[Argonaut]

I saw Bodom with Slipknot in Cardiff and they were ****ing insane. I've never had so much fun. ALexi was on top form.

[dminishedthingy]

ALexi was on top
:liplick:

[Argonaut]

Hey! post manipulation! no fair :)
