COFFEE WITH OLA - Nick Hipa of AS I LAY DYING 

Had an awesome coffee with Nick from As I lay Dying when they passed by Stockholm.

Metalcore fan or not, this is the sweetest, most genuine dude ever. Chill AF...... Glad to see him happy and smiling again 🤘

Nick always comes off as the most awesome, genuine dude.

Nick talking about the darkest past in the band's history and Ola is playing elevatror music in the backgroung. Legend.

As I lay Dying are absolute riff masters!

An Ocean Between Us is one of my favorite metal albums, period. Not sure if it was the time in my life when it came out or what, but damn. You can listen to that thing start to finish.

I was really hoping that you would have him try a Solar guitar 😂 speaking of, are you ever gonna have people jam on Coffee with Ola? I think it would be cool.

Wish the interview was longer. Nick Hipa is such a genuine guy.

I adore the way he handled the recent situation like a gentleman, in a calm and reasoned way.

Nick's hair is more beautiful than my girlfriend's.

Nick’s Pantera/Smash Mouth shirt is legendary I want it

this guy sounds just like Jonah Hill

One of the best guitarists in Metalcore history, yet so humble. Love it!

Nick is one of the most down-to-earth Rock stars you've ever met great guy

so Nick,How many good riffs are on the album - Nick: YES hehehehe.Brillaint album!

Nicks skill with the guitar is only matched by his genuine nice guy vibe. Love him!

Nick is one of my favorite guitarist. Caught his pick in Chicago after driving 6 hours. Carry it in my wallet everywhere I go lol. Can’t wait for the Cleveland show!

Nick is Extremely kind, genuine and personable guy. Regardless of what size as the bands he has played in got. He remained a down to earth personable kind guy to his fans and friend's

Nick is such a genuine dude. So laid back and very surfer dude. So happy to see him happy again. That was such a dark time for everyone. Glad they are on the road to better days

AHHH! So glad to hear someone talk about Living Sacrifice!

What an awesome interview, to tell you the truth I knew nothing about this band, and went and watched a video, I must say I was blown away. And seeing this guys attitude made me like them even more! New Fan for As I Lay Dying! Ola bringing the goodness!

That Smash Mouth/Panthers shirt tho😂 Love Nick. Him and Phil were huge influences on my in high school.

Ola: "SLA dying"

Living Sacrifice is amazing! I love that Nick name dropped them! 'REJECT'

When I close my eyes I can hear Kirk Hammet's voice and intonation!

I'm so happy Wovenwar is not dead. I love that band. I wish more bands embraced the idea of heavy metalcore riffs with strictly clean vocals. IMO it brings something much more unique and interesting to the genre and nobody else is really doing it.

The older I get, the less "genres" make any sense to me...

Drink a shot every time Nick says sick lol. Awesome interview, big fan of the band!

Great interview and Nick seems to be really nice. I am looking forward to see them when they are back in Germany this month :-) Fan from the beginning and still am. Thanks Ola!

Thank you for having Nick, Ola!! I absolutely love the guys in AILD, their show in Stockholm was phenomenal!!

Nick...dude has been my hero for over a decade favorite guitarist ever!! Fuckin love u nick

The metal community as a whole is just so full of down to earth people that you almost don't see in any other genre of music...and when you'd think being incredible musicians would grant them the right to be a** holes, they're not. Makes me happy to hear guys like Nick, Jeff Loomis, Dimebag etc...so humble

Ola as always an amazing job on this video. Nick and As I lay dying are so genuine and this video shows just a piece of that. So glad this band is back. Metalcore at its finest.

Yay that coffee with Ola thing is getting better and better! Lovely greets from Nashville everyone, just got here last night battling jet lag now! In Europe my EV guitar tech is on tour with AILD these days haha - small world!

Really interesting interview and brave step of you to get somebody from As I Lay Dying for the show.

I absolutely love Nick!!! Thanks Ola, great interview dude👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

That was the fastest 24 minutes! I would’ve loved another hour of this convo. Can’t believe you got him on.

Coffee with Mikael Akerfeldt please!

I want a shirt that says "where's the riffs?"

I was just watching another Coffee with Ola and a new one comes up while I am watching it. Somethings are meant to be.

I wish Nick well in his future endeavors after parting with as i lay dying

Great chat Ola! Nick is an awesome dude. Wish it could have been longer but thanks again for having him on Coffee with Ola!!

Great interview Ola! Love that band so much!

I love this series. Definitely awesome to see Nick on the channel!

Nick is such a humble dude. Has always been my major influence on or off stage when playing guitar.

As I lay dying is one of the best metal bands ever. Banger after banger

Always a pleasure to follow your interview, sharing the same values and our passion with passionate people : Metal music :) "As I lay Dying" is an excellent metal band as well!

nice one Ola! What a humble, nice dude Nick is...enjoyed that.

Nick is such an awesome dude. I’ve played shows at his place of business a few times and have gotten to talk to him a bit. Very down to earth, very humble. Just a genuinely nice person. Really cool to see him on Coffee with Ola.

That time Ola made a blue balls reference....great stuff, Ola!

Nick is actually the best! My favourite coffee with Ola sessions!

this was awesome! As I Lay Dying have been one of my favorite bands for a long time

What a good dude and a great interview.

Hi Ola! Just started following your channel a few months ago and it's become one of my favourite to watch. Coffee With Ola is now part of my morning coffee routine and I love your gear reviews and the Will It Chug series. Keep up the great work man, much love from Canada!

Nick always hyped seeing you around town!

I listen to this band everyday when I work out or need some inspiration. I got a chance to interview them at Mayhem Festival 10 years ago. They were on fire. Best band at the show....

Great episode Nick seems to be a super nice and genuine dude and he's an amazing guitarist

Super stoked to see Nick on coffee with Ola. Have only stumbled across As I Lay Dying when they released My Own Grace and they are now my fave Metal band next to KSE so love to see that you enjoyed the new album as much as I did. Love your work Ola. 🤟🏻

First album I bought going into the military after high-school was Frail Words Collapse. It was such a impactful experience, never really heard anything like it besides some vague resemblances to other genres I dabbled in. Wished I could of seen them once during the mid 2000's, but even today I still enjoy this album. Nick is definitely in my list of favorite guitarists.

This is awesome, finally get to see this miracle happen❤️❤️ such humble dudes

Awesome interview !! Dude has a great and humble attitude. I Agree with others on here I think a jam of some sort would be bring it to another level. lol Thanks ola

Whenever you have guests, you introduce me to musicians I may not know. I then gain a connection which inspires me to venture out to their music. Great series Ola.

The best 'Coffee with Ola' 'til date. Nick is such a awesome guy and AILD are, of course, the kings of metalcore. Amazing content, Ola!

Such a friendly, likeable dude! Can’t wait to see them live in December 🤘🏼

Nick is such an awesome guy! A true "svärmorsdröm"! Amazing!

Nick Hipa is a great musician! Very creative!

Heck yes! I was waiting for this!

Man this band has some of the most classics riffs ever, so fun and catchy

RU-vid needs more Nick Hipa! Thanks for the video Ola!!! You need to get him on again with a guitar in his hands!

Nick seems like the greatest dude. So glad you’ve had him on. The new record is the best thing they’ve ever done imo. Such a great time for AILD fans!

This was awesome. Also 400k subscribers, congrats Ola!

Seen AILD a long time ago with Shadow’s Fall and thought “that was a sick band” but stupidly never followed them. Later on heard about what happened and thought nothing more of it. Watched the discussion video which was heavy to bear witness to in its own right. And without hesitation clicked on the My Own Grave single and was blown away by the music and the delivery on which it was based. Then a couple videos back Ola mentions listening to the new album and says that the album is solid and has great riffs and leads. If anyone knows great riffs and leads it’s Ola. Been checking out the album ever since. Like them or not AILD are legit and solid as all fuck, really happy to see them just forging ahead and Nick is such a down to earth guy. Been waiting for this coffee with Ola since I saw a bit of footage from the AILD vlog. So far my fave episode.

Nick seems like a cool dude. New album is their Masterpiece!!!!!

Nick is awesome! I am glad you got to do this with him.

i recently discovered Ola's channel and am enjoying combing through all the vids. this was a great chat with a great dude. i enjoy their music. one request: you should add a little segment where the interviewee plays their favorite 3 riffs of their songs and then 3 favies of someone else's songs.

Hi Ola, thanks for having Nick on "Coffee with Ola" one of the greatest dude in AILD. Btw, it would great if you can add some jamming with Solar Guitars at the end of the interview. Big Hug

I loooooooove the new album. Stoked they get to play again.

Nick Hipa has always been this chill and friendly, welcoming and genuine. I used to go watch him play in bands like Evelynn around 20 years ago in Fort Worth, TX... really great guy. So glad that is able to continue to enjoy his craft and life. Sanuk

Love seeing nick happy again, great interview!

What an awesome dude and I’m looking forward to picking up the new album 🤘🏼

As I Lay Dying are bad ass! We love 'em out here in the states.

This guy just seems so genuine and nice. Nick has to be one of the sweetest dudes in the bussiness.

Awesome dude and band, would've loved to see a longer interview. Hope to see Adam D and/or Joel from Killswitch in the next CWO, they're playing in Stockholm the 30th, just a tip.

Very campy music for such a deep conversation...I LOVE IT!

METALCORE IS LIFE. it led me to all other heavy genres

Nick has always been a super awesome guy. Glad to see that hasn't changed considering what hes been thru.

First time hearing As I lay dying these guys are awesome just subscribed to there channel. Hope they play around in Chicago sometime

Nick is seriously one of the best!!!

I just started listening to some As I Lay Dying stuff recently and hadn't seen any interviews with any of the guys in the band and wow Nick seems like the coolest guy, somebody who I would definitely click with! Can't wait to see who you have on next Ola,ROCK ON MAN and may the Brew be with you 🤘

0:07 this cover fuses well with the video background along with Nick and Ola's arms!

I've always loved Nick, writes such bad ass riffs but is also the most genuine kind dude lol

I for one and super happy that as I lay dying is complete again!

Even in Sweden, you are getting the best guests!

Nick and his riffs (Wovenwar included) changed my life forever. Metalcore has shaped my life and inspired Within Sight. Thanks Ola, for having coffee with one of my heros

As I Lay Dying, wow !!!!!!!Great Coffee with Ola.

Possible my favorite episode so far. Enjoyed it. He seems down to earth and laid back. Also very comfortable wearing socks lol.

The first 3/4 Living Sacrifice albums are amazing.

Man, what a sweet down to earth dude. Love the band. Always will.

Nick is such an underrated guitarist and writer. His riffs from 10-15 years ago are so unique, I use many of his riffs as warm ups and practice routines on guitar.

That was rad, thanks Ola. Guest wishlist: COFFEE WITH OLA - Russ Parrish "Satchel."
