It's
been more than four years since we started filming lessons and interviews with
musicians for our CD-ROM, and one of the very first subjects we had here at GW
HQ for an on-camera lesson was Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom. Alexi's been
up here a few times since then, but Oct. 9, 2008, was the first time COB
co-guitarist Roope Latvala was on hand as well.
The two guitarists came by for a lesson on how to play "Blooddrunk" with our
very own Matt Scharfglass, as well as a new photo shoot with ace photographer
Angela Boatright. The band was in town for one of the final dates on their
current tour with Between the Buried and Me, Black Dahlia Murder and special
guests for this one show, Testament.
Alexi had a bit of a rough start to the day...the 1:00 call time was a little
on the early side for such a hard-partying night owl, and he needed a little
nappy between the lesson and photo shoot. But with a little rest, some pizza and
beer, Alexi was right as rain by mid afternoon.
