Found this fellow maybe 1 year ago. He's so good.

Those are my favourite vids.

And yeah he's Finn too

He is damn good isn't he ?

Children of Bodom have always had good, melodic solos so at least he's playing stuff with melody, not just mindless shred.

Love the CoB stuff!

Nice player for sure, I like his picking and sweeps.

He is really good! His playing is really smooth. and yes, that COB solo sounds amazing!

He is quite good! He has been putting in wads of practice time that's for sure Gotta love COB, as Ben said, they manage to combine melody/harmony and technical proficiency without coming off as pointlessly shreddy. It's a very fine line sometimes but they always manage it. Alexi gets dissed sometimes, after he mouthed off a bit about John Petrucci and such, and some folks bag on him for liking punk rock. Such crap is obviously pretty stupid. He is a talented player and can keep up with the best of them and can write/arrange far better than most of the rest of them.
