 Roope Latvala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roope played the Moscow concert on the 16th of August successfully.
When he joined Children of Bodom, Roope made a deal with ESP Guitars, which already endorsed Alexi and Henkka Seppälä.
Before that he used Jackson Guitars almost exclusivly (Roope could be seen wearing the infamous Jackson T-shirt that reads Get The Best, Fuck The Rest), and it is not unusual for him to use his old Jacksons live.

Roope is without a doubt one of the most famous and respect Finnish metal veterans.
Roope was probably one of the first guitar heroes of Finnish metal and influenced a lot of young guitarists - including the Children Of Bodom mastermind Alexi Laiho.
Roope picking up an ESP had nothing to do with the fact that he joined the band which was already endorsed by ESP. Roope explained that Jackson (which had just been bought by Fender) sucks nowadays and that ESP guitars are actually pretty good.

Roope jest bez wątpienia jednym z najsłynniejszych i najbardziej szanowanych weteranów fińskiego metalu.
Roope był prawdopodobnie pierwszym fińskim bohaterem gitary i miał wpływ na wielu młodych gitarzystów – wliczając w to mózg Children of Bodom Alexiego Laiho.
Mimo iż nie wyglądało na to że Roope pozostanie w zespole na długo, po pewnym czasie COB przestało szukać zastępstwa, i tak Roope grał kolejne koncerty.

 Roope | Latvala
Although often overshadowed by lead guitarist and frontman Alexi Laiho in Children of Bodom, Roope Latvala remains a pioneer in Finnish thrash metal, actually cited by Laiho as one of his main influences.
Latvala was born on June 25, 1970 in Helsinki, Finland, and he began playing guitar at the age of 13.
Roope was the one musician that Bodom knew could step in with such short notice and learn the necessary material before the next show, less than a month away.

 Guitar Player - Black Metal Magic Tricks
Latvala plugs his custom ESP Random Star into his own Marshall Mini, and contributes to the cacophony.
As if to up the ante, Latvala sees Laiho’s tap/sweep lick and raises him a dose of legato by playing his own “arpeggios from hell” riff—an evil D minor phrase that sounds “swept” but actually features no use of the plectrum.
Latvala’s pick is a bit more traditional in shape than Laiho’s, but it allows him a distinctly more metal attack.

 Planet Waltari: Roope Latvala
There is no doubt Roope Latvala is among Europe's greatest guitarists but he never fit into Waltari.
At first there was a big acceptance among the fans due to the reputation of his name but they soon had to realize he never would replace Sami.
When Roope was starting to get more and more busy in other projects it seemed like a disinterest in Waltari which came to a head when he was replaced by Sami in the 1999 Radium Round Tour.

Children of Bodom was bred in spring 1993 when guitarist Alexi Laiho (Sinergy, Kylhullut, ex-Impaled Nazarene, Thy Serpent, Norther) and drummer Jaska Raatikainen (Virtuocity) decided to form a death metal band under the moniker "Inearthed." They recruited bassist Samuli Miettinen and recorded their first demo "Implosion of Heaven" in 1994.
Alexander left the band in July 2003, leaving fans in shock as the band had said that they would quit if one of its members left.
But Alexi said "Children of Bodom ain't ready to fucking die yet!" as they recruited Alexi's fellow Sinergy guitarist, Roope Latvala (Walhalla, ex-Stone, To/Die/For, Waltari).

Even more notable is the fact that former Stone guitarist Roope Latvala currently plays guitar in Children of Bodom.
While Roope Latvala was a big influence to Alexi Laiho's playing back in the time Children of Bodom was still known as Inearthed, they first shared the stage in the Power Metal band Sinergy until Alexi got Roope to join his own band where they now play guitar side by side.
The first mentioned, Stratovarius, is one of those bands any self-respecting metalhead should know.

This was the band’s first U.S. headline tour, and Alexi Laiho (guitar/vocals), Janne Warman (keyboards), Jaska Raatikainen (drums), Roope Latvala (guitar) and Henkka Seppala (bass) were out for blood.
Laiho and his idol, veteran guitarist Latvala, are a formidable guitar duo that level everything in their path, but it was watching Alexi trade off solos with Warman that stole the show.
Warman is arguably the best keyboardist in the business, while Laiho has been pegged as the next big guitar hero.
