Rig Rundown – Children of Bodom
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/ChildrenOfBodomRR
Alexi Laiho, frontman and guitarist for melodic death metal band Children of Bodom, took us through his sparse, but powerful, setup before the band’s Nashville show at the Exit/In. A combination of ESP guitars, Marshall amps, and a few Boss pedals help create Laiho’s lightning-fast leads and bone-rattling rhythms.
Laiho tours with a trio of his signature ESP Custom Shop models. “Greeny” and “Scythe,” are both tuned a whole step down from standard and house a single EMG HZ F-H2 passive humbucker and an EMG MM-04 gain boost. The boost is almost always on and is controlled with a simple switch near the volume knob.
“Pinky” is the third ESP that Laiho takes on the road and is tuned to B–F#–B–E–G#–C#. All the guitars are strung with Laiho’s signature set from DR Strings (.010–.056).

????????????????????????RIP
Who's Jackson Kelly is that? (The white one in the background)
Alexi is AWSOME
Alexi qas the BEST FINNISH GUITARIST/FRONTMAN EVER!!!! Dude spoke 2or 3 different languages and him and Roope played Vivaldis 4Seasons on their guitars!! Alexi truly was a Guitar Master!!
This interviewer was super nervous but Alexi seemed very chill throughout. He probably understood how he felt from experience. Alexi seemed like a very cool guy.
Alexis setup was just way too difficult for me to ever attempt. There's absolutely nowhere to hide, you can hear every tiny mistake, you need to be master like he was to get a great result.
I saw this band twice, but thought it kinda odd they had a keyboardist
Such a cool dude, RIP brother
Perry, or whatever your name is, I know this is 7 years old, but STFU AND LET THE MAN TALK.
Edit: you’re one of those people to put your hand on things to “lean on”, and I have to tell you not to touch my stuff
Grew up on COB. Wish I would’ve gotten the chance to see them live
ХУЙ
Good work, great interviewer!
I saw CoB on the Unholy Alliance Tour with Slayer, lamb of God, Mastodon and Thine Eyes Bleed back in 2006. They kicked ass!! So good. We miss you Alexi! Rest in Power.
Alexi says, "Yes I have this petal because it has more travel, and more presence to it" Good, understandable. But the other guy is like, "what does this do!!! Son of a bitch, you should know what it does. You didn't do ANY research when you're talking to Alexi Laiho
Take a look "100 effects+Kemper" bs guys: SMALL RIG. Take note.
R.I.P Legend.
TY Alexi, You Rule ????????????❤️????☠️
First heard of CoB when the other guitarist in my high school metal band busted out a copy of Hatebreeder after practice one day. I remember asking “when was this made?” because it sounded like 80’s thrash with synths, and finding out it was only a year or two old really opened my eyes to what these guys overseas were doing at the time. Been a fan for over 22 years now. RIP Alexi!
RIP Alexi.
COBHC ????????????
“Well, I don’t know about the dancin’, Dude…”
RIP Alexi, you killed it. ❤️
