Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, came to the EMGtv studio to play an instrumental version of "Not My Funeral". Check out Alexi's guitar loaded with his signature passive EMG ALX-HZ humbucker pickup and ABQ gain boost with EQ.

Rip Alexi:( You are the best guitarist in the world!

[MonstoyGuitar]

Rip alexi. I've never been able to play like you but thanks for the inspiration.

[saltpeter]

I'm 41. Dont keep up with new music these days. I still think of COB and ARSIS as new bands I like, lol. Condolences to his friends and family, I did not know the man but he was an artist with an excellent ear who incorporated the best of thrash and classic metal to create his own signature "sound", which is the goal for many of us who pick up a 6 string to play and express ourselves. He was a top gun . Blazed his path, made his mark, I hold him in high esteem .
Recorded music is a legacy and testimony of an indeviduals existence, Alexi succeeded in leaving a huge load of kick ass heavy metal guitar mastery.

God this is painful to watch. He was so young, so talented. Any guitar player that listened to him was inspired in some sort of way by his playing. Damn

[jasonabraham]

The vocals, the riffs the solos
He was a metal god....

[Kyrieru]

For "death" metal, Alexi had some of the most genuine and uplifting solos in music.

[Jaiwho]

3:29 that solo is beautiful it's insane

[markushor]

Rest in peace Lord Alexi Laiho - a masterful and talented guitarist from this planet! Grateful to have seen him in 2008 at Wacken.

[jamilaandersson]

Alexi was " one in a million." a master, best guitarist in the world.
we miss you wildchild.. you will never be forgotten
R. I. P Alexi Laiho our legend

[Rawnfella]

Alexi has such a unique tone. It's uncommon to hear such raw leads and shreds without reverb and delay to mask the sloppyness :o.

[Beccati.sto.trapezio]

An Immortal Legend dont needs a funeral.

[thibautanglade]

Legends never dies. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace badboy :'(

[analisamelojete]

He had a unique style! You’ll never be forgotten! RIP Legend.

[orvcharl]

Alexi is one of the best songwriters in metal. RRF is a welcome blend of mainstream melody and complex chord progression.

[blackcitadel]

Youtube suddenly recommend me "Are You Dead Yet?" And "Not My Funeral" when the guitarist who play it dies. This algorithm has a morbid sense of humour.

[AntrixTawra]

RIP Alexi. This is extremely heartbreaking. Can't believe this.

[janijani]

This song perfectly showcases why Alexi even today is still regarded one of the best guitarists ever.

His technical ability isn't anything out of the ordinary by todays standards but it's his songwriting and compositional ability that are out of this world.

[MiidniightG]

Jeeez that chorus melody is so nice aha

[yuminetyour]

another metal guitarist who has left us all, condolences to his family...

[CarryTT]

RIP Wildchild. Once in a lifetime guitar experience you took us on.
