Children Of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho is turning the Senate Square in Helsinki, Finland into a metal arena. He is composing a commissioned song for the Helsinki Festival, and invited 100 electric guitarists to join him in performing it on the big stage. The guitarists have now been chosen, and you can watch their auditions (as well as the auditions that didn’t make the cut) at this location .
The guitarists have been divided into five groups, and each group will have to learn their own parts during July. Check out the five demo clips below:
