Alexi Laiho: Imitate and win an LTD AL-600!


Donʼt lie; we know youʼve grabbed your guitar (or a tennis racket, or a broomstick, or the like) and pretended to rock along with your favorite musicians. Hey, we all play guitar too. We know how it is. Normally, you probably donʼt want anyone to see you imagining yourself onstage in front of 50,000 screaming fans. But weʼre going to give you a good reason to let the whole world watch.

Between now and October 31, youʼre going to film yourself doing your very best impersonation of Alexi Laiho. What does that mean? Exactly what it sounds like; youʼre going to do whatever it takes* to create a video where we canʼt tell you apart from Alexi. You can wear a wig, you can adopt Alexiʼs stage moves, or anything you want within reason. But to win, youʼd better make us laugh, or blow our minds with your ability to be a clone of Alexi. In any case, our panel of judges will watch each video, and the one we deem the coolest will be selected to win an ESP Alexi Laiho Signature Series LTD AL-600 Scythe guitar!

What kind of video should you make? Thatʼs up to you (but keep it short, no more than five minutes). You can rock out with your guitar (or a guitar shaped object, for all we care) with Children of Bodom blasting in the background; you can impersonate Alexi being interviewed by a rock mag; you can act out a CoB video... the choice is yours. Most importantly, it might be that the winner does something weʼre NOT expecting, so be creative!

After you make your film, youʼll click below to upload it to the special contest page at MetalInjection.net, which is kind of like YouTube for metal. Fill out the entry form so we can get in touch if you win, and thatʼs it! Make sure your video is submitted before November 1, 2009, read the rules and regulations below, and good luck!
