SOMETHING WILD

ALEXI LAIHO made two trips to Guitar World’s cover over the years; oddly enough, he was accompanied by ZAKK WYLDE both times. In the May 2005 issue, he joined the elite ranks of Wylde and STEVE VAI to “show you how to play the impossible!” Five years later, in the October 2010 issue, we checked in with Wylde and Laiho just before a colossal U.S. tour featuring Black Label Society and Children of Bodom.
