WIN AN ALEXI LAIHO ESP GUITAR!
Since Children of Bodom are going on the road with Black Label Society, Clutch & more this fall as part of the Black Label Berzerkus, we’ve teamed up with them to offer you a chance to win some of Alexi Laiho’s favorite gear! One grand prize winner will receive:
- 1 ESP LTD Alexi Scythe 600 Guitar
- 1 Rock House Metal Pack of 24 Instructional DVDs
- 1 year’s supply of Alexi Signature DR Strings (24 sets)
- 1 “Coffin Case” for the ESP guitar
- 1 Autographed Alexi EMG set
- 1 Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Guitar Bundle (Winner’s choice on the console)
To enter, and all you need to do is leave a comment (with a valid email address as the winner will be contacted by email) telling us which Children of Bodom guitar solo is your favorite and why. Remember, this is MetalSucks, so a funny story or anecdote has a much better chance of winning than an entry that tells us why Alexi is a genius for using a certain type of scale. You have until midnight EDT on Monday, October 4th to enter.
Legal mumbo jumbo / obligatory sponsor text after the jump. And don’t forget to check out Children of Bodom live at a Berzerkus date near you (TOUR DATES).
