Hey, I was wondering if some of you guys have good quality pictures of Alexi's famous Jackson guitar because : - I have the feeling that the Jackson logo isn't mother of pearl but just classic white (which is weird for a CS) - it looks like the sticker is yellow but with dark blue letters and not black as we could have expected Hope you can help!
Jackson logo is white, wich is pretty often or standard for jackson logo, doesnt mather if its CS or standard models, to have an MOP logo its an option you can select during the order of an CS. most people do it because they like it, , Wildchild Logo is Yellow with black letters !
You can say whatever you want, but Roope is still the coolest guy ever. Alexis coolness is partly hilarious with his caps, hoods, grim faces... this typical american style. Maybe he tries to be a badass and cool motherfucker because he's so small... but Roope's always been himself. Always with a smile on his face, normal clothes, his deep voice, his senseless jabbering when he's drunk... he can explain the world to every one he wants.
+4 Alexi used to be one cool dude though! Back in the day when he still looked metal. You know when he used to have that leather jacket and tighter jeans, not those baggyjeans ala hiphop, and his jeansvest was pretty badass too! Exactly what Arcane said, he is very Americanized which is pretty much always bad when it comes to looking cool..!
They have to greet us with middle fingers to make themselves look eighties, not to get confused with emo because of the two blondes? What songs did they play, and any videos?

Your stereotype of the Wild Child Alexi grew on his '98 - 2003 appearance. All he did was wear black jeans with open knee, look thinner on the face and act more European, and have blonde hair. It's not all down to looks, as lots of it is down to subconscious gesture language, as he used to be depressed. Since then you've felt irritated about his poses... but I feel it's his genuine and deserved style. Someone maybe helped Alexi lighten up back then, although his drinking was quite severe all the way until 2011 or so. You can't expect someone to be the exact same guy forever with exact same issues. You want him to be fake and pretend he's all depressed? If he was constantly touring and making interviews in America, it's natural to get inflicted with the American style, to make contact more natural. We all look back at the old classic Wild Child with a sense of mythical aura and admiration, but there's a time for everything in life; even COB's music changes. What comes to art, the best art is usually drawn from personal difficulties, emotional self-therapy made into symbolic art, and none of us can have that forever; you can always revisit old traumas with a slightly different view, and each time the emotional pain lessens, but you gain more experience. When the greatest need to express one's emotions with art fades out, the art starts becoming different. Same with us people: for some reason we tend not to like people who are feeling well.
