after the solo, there are 3 harmonics, and I'll try to desribe how to play them :
1. Play the natural harmonic on 7th fret on G-string
2. Grab your whammy-bar like you would increase 2-semitones, and release it slowly
3. Play the natural harmonic on 5th fret on G-string BUT
have the whammy bar already pushed down to increase 2 semitones
4. lower whammy-bar to normal position
5. Play the ARTIFICIAL harmonic on 3th fret on G-string bended two semitones higher
and have the whammy-bar one more time pushed down to increase 2 semitones
6. lower whammy bar to normal position, and release bending
To get this cool sound, Alexi doubles this part, I think with artifical harmonics.
But THIS is the way as he played it live!

This was tabbed by Danny Wildchild Riedner (WIldchild666@gmx.de)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official CHILDREN OF BODOM tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
