FAQ69 - DEAN vs WASHBURN DIME, EXPLICIT 69 CONTENT, CLICKBAIT 

MORNING! OR EVENING! Last FAQ of the year! Last chance of the year to subscribe!

My son was born at 26 weeks and almost didn’t make it. He spent the first 6 months of his life in the hospital, and his first 2 years on oxygen. He is 6 now and doing fantastic but I can relate to what you went through. I’m so happy everything turned out ok for you and your family Ola. Happy birthday to your little girl!

Have you ever thought of creating a soft drink called "Coca Ola"?

It's not my place to say whether you're a better person or not. I don't personally know you so I have zero gauge. The internet is not all that it seems. The only thing that matters to me is that since I started watching you in like 2012 or 2013, whenever it was, you inspired me to the point it took my playing in a different direction. Through you, I learned better picking patterns and phrasing. You also taught me to not care about shit so much, which has allowed me to enjoy life much more. Watching you has become a family affair. I hope one day I can be half the guitarist you are and a quarter of the business man you are. Thank you and happy new year!

Hey its my daughter's birthday today too, (December 30th). Only difference is my little girl turns 23 today while yours is just four. My daughter was born two months early and she was only 3 pounds at birth so I know the feeling of being worried not knowing if everything would turn out fine. I always heard that one day you will turn around and she will be grown and you will wonder where the time went. I can affirm that it is 100 percent true. I guess what I am trying to say is spend as much time as you can with your daughter now, because she will be grown up before you know it.

Here's a story my mom always tells. When I was born on May 30th, 2002, I was born with the cord around my neck and I wasn't crying or moving. The doctors had to take me from my mother to help me catch up with my breathing, then finally brought me back. Thank God your family survived Ola. God bless your family and your content.

Forget PewDiePie, sub to Ola! I'm not gonna leave a huge comment about my life but I will say that you are a major inspiration to me. The way you grabbed life by the balls and got what you wanted out of life gives me hope for the long future ahead of me. Also, your speeches never fail to impact me in some way. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel.

Hey Ola, yesterday I bought a nice 2019 agenda planner to physically write up daily tasks (like ''record guitar riffs of song X, bass of Y, organize Z riff ideas'', etc) based off your suggestion (which at first sounded kind of goofy/weird to me), but the more I thought about it, the more it made a LOT of sense - I already use a white board to write up general ideas, but this daily planner idea is genius I think it will help me organize my music work way better, be more productive, more committed and effective, I'm stoked! Thank you so much for all your help (even since the Sneapsters days), a happy 2019 to you!!

Dude, your imperial bathrobe is nearly as cool as my TARDIS robe. EDIT: Damn, it’s cool to read through the comments and hear about all these real-life stories. Ola’s followers are awesomely genuine peeps. I have two sons of my own, 15 and 12 years old, thriving successfully, each in his own way. The person who would have been their older brother didn’t make it to birth back in 2001, so not a day goes by when I don’t look at those two with feelings of great pride and (as a parent always experiences) a measure of worry. ...but my TARDIS robe is still cool.

Ola, it's really good see you talking from your heart. I've lived a similar experience: my wife almost died in 2013 from a stroke (she was 27 at the time), after a week in coma she started to be more awake (like 20 minutes per day), the doctors said that she would probably have some issues... But time passed by and she got normal again. a few years later (2016) we were in a car accident where I broke my neck in five different places. I was so fucking scared man. Long story short: 4 to 6 months later was ok, healthy and walking. I'm telling you this because in both situations I've learned, ,as you , to say fuck off and to give less fucks and to care about things that really matters. The sad part in that I'm both cases after a while the relaxed and grateful feeling of just being alive fade a little away and I still am a very stressed person,I`m still getting nervous and anxious about things that really doesn't matter in the end of the day. I know, I'm an idiot. So tell me CoolOla how do you do to remind you every day what's important to you and how to ignore the small shit?

I went through something similar when my daughter was born. I got a call from wife, she was crying and I was working 2 hours away. She informed me that they were rushing her in for an emergency c section because her uterus had ruptured. Ah screw it. I won't bore y'all with the rest of the story. But yeah, I had a life changing experience with that.

That sucks, man. I went through the same thing when my son was born. He came out 8 weeks early and didn't want to breathe. I didn't have to worry about my wife though, I can't imagine how shitty that would have been on top of watching them do resuscitation on a brand new kid. Thanks for being awesome. Glad everything came out well for the three of you. Best wishes for the new year.

Hey ola, thank you for being such a badass dude, you have inspired me to write awesome riffs for my band jaded black, greetings from copperas cove texas

Ola: "Be respectful, its my daughters birthday" few mintues later: 12:34

I got a cold in my spine when you told the story about your wife and daughter... I respect you even more now. Im glad that your family made through it successfully, and now we have Ola The Swede, badass and humble man) Thank you for this year, for coming to Russia and your channel! Didn't regret any second that I bought a sponsor membership. As this supposed to be the last video of the year (I guess) - happy new year, Ola! It would be great to see you in Russia again in 2019, but with some concerts this time.

Your Black Is My White is one of my current fav songs. Serious riffs, amazing production. And the outro riff never ceases to make me smile and laugh like an idiot.

Question. Is Thor Thinking That The Third Thumb goes Through Thick and Thin? Thanks.

Why you weren't included in the world greatest collab video by jared dines?

Very brave of you to share such a personal story about your life with us, so thank you. I'm glad you and your family are happy and healthy, and happy new year, man! You're an excellent human.

Thanks for everything this year Ola! And looking forward to 2019! \m/ Happy New Year Ola!

Ta muchly=thank you very much. Northern English dialect. My accent (yorkshire) we tend to shorten words or miss out letters when we pronounce them. Also I was led to believe that ta or taa was shortened from the Scandinavian Taak for thank you when the ancestors arrived back in 700-800ish. One of the most famous Yorkshire dialect phrases is tintintin. Which means.. It isn't in the tin.

My favourite part is when you gesture your hand at the camera

Happy bday to your little girl! Stories like that make me so grateful to have a happy and healthy family. Next member coming in February, hopefully everything will go smoothly. :-)

just as a testament to ola's coolness, there are 3 famous people who have answered me back on the internet, and coincidently , one was from 6 feet under, befor ola was in the band , and ola, both were nice comments

Festive Dean from hell, nice.

Dude is 3am WTF.... AWESOME!

happy birthday Molly! so happy you still have them both Ola! happy holidays from my family to your... and to our awesome guitar community!!!

Hope your family is well, i lost my grandfather on Christmas day this past week and it's been rough but you always make me smile and inspire me. You're such a lovely person, happy birthday to your cute daughter!

11:46 thank you for this answer ! People need to chill, especially on youtube haha :)

Hi Ola! What do you think about Decapitated?

Love your videos!!!!! Thanks for every single video you make. Even though you were quick to wrap things up, and even cutting off the "Swedish word of the day" intro song, that actually probably took more video editing time, and we really enjoy your humor!!!! Love you, Ola! Can't wait to see you do even crazier things in 2019 - from LA, CA, Stephanie

I think this is honestly the only channel I've followed regularly for more than 3 months at a time. Thanks for being awesome, Ola!

American's: "We need basic human rights such as universal health care and a living wage, like most other modernized countries. Look at how well the Nordic Model works." Ola: "Sweden is in shambles" Thanks Ola -.- (I know you were being sarcastic)

You said you always read all comments, but you never answered my question in any of your FAQs, I have been asking you for a while, have you ever heard of any Indian metal band? (Ex- Demonic Resurrection, Kryptos, Bhayanak Mout)

I can't remember for how long I've been subscribed, but I remember when I read about the problems you had with your daughter and your wife it broke my heart. And now 4 years later you are all together celebrating her birthday. Happy holidays Ola. Cheers for an even better year.

Speech-language pathologist in America. I'm a medical SLP, but its cool that it sounds like that in Swedish cause I was in Italy, a teacher I stayed with called it Logo pedista. Happy New Year Ola!

Hey hey hey wtf. You said you were going to practice the slaughtered riff for next time. I understand it's been the holiday season, you create a new series every day, you're writing a solo album, you run a guitar company, you have a family, you just got back from Indonesia, and it's your daughter's birthday, but you can't be that busy. Show me the riff

Sweden has capitalism. That’s how it stays up. Lol it’s not purely socialist.

Happy birthday to your little girl! 🎈🎁🎉👍 We share the same birthday! 🤘 Thank you for all the inspiration and more in 2018, Ola! It’s highly appreciated.❤️

Tack, nu har jag fan suttit uppe hela natten utan något att göra - men här kommer äntligen en ny FAQ som håller mig underhållen i alla fall i 20 min. Och grattis till Malin, kommer ihåg hela den situationen..

Still here !! I watch your videos (old or new) when I’m setting up my guitars or doing fret leveling or whatever. You are such an inspiration, I’m really glad I discovered you some years ago man, and this video specially can see not all in love was going too good but still you keep it up always 🤟🏽

Kumusta Ola.... Thanks for including my question in your 69th FAQ... Means a lot to me... Let's all have a GREAT 2019... I admire you using the word Family to us subscribers... Kudos!...

Gott nytt år Ola! High 5 till din dotter & familj. Rock n roll

The story of your daughters birth got me in the feels. My daughter is due on the 10th of January. My first born. And I'm so nervous. But anyway, love your channel. One of like 2 I actually watch daily. You inspire me to keep playing. Keep it up Ola!

Haha, vilka goa ungar du verkar ha! Hoppas du och din familj haft ett bra år, och att ni får ett grymt 2019!

Your family isn't a technical difficuly Ola! Its just a way to show us how actually soft and caring you are, you sweet Swede 😍

Hey Ola! Your videos have made my festive break from work fantastic. I've always been an avid fan of Feared and cannot wait for your solo album. I wanted to ask if you could include some content on your favourite guitar warm up techniques? Cheers!

Happy birthday to Ola’s daughter! Keep the good thoughts and the Ass kicking content up! ❤️

the end there made me feel a lot better, thanks ola, and happy new year

Merry late Christmas Ola! Happy birthday to your daughter! So glad to hear your wife and daughter survived! Losing any family is never good.

Really wholesome story Ola. I nearly lost my Mom in 2008, same year my Nan died and it nearly broke me. Music was a big outlet for me at the time. Awesome that all is well in your family and a great festive period.

ola coming from a old guy,you rock bro!love your witty sense of humour!reminds me of a old danish friend i had.unfortunatly he was deported back to denmark for not making his visa right.big fan from chicagostan usa

Tack Ola! Ännu en morgon räddad av din humor!

I only started watching you earlier this year but you’ve grown to be one of the main reasons I strive to become a better player and overall better person. As cliche as it sounds I feel you’re someone the younger generation of musicians can look up to. You’re a self made man to put it. You’ve been playing in different bands throughout the years, have signature gear and other deals, and even started your own company (I plan on purchasing a Solar V very soon!). I could keep going on but to conclude just keep being the Ola we love.

Best Wishes man. Glad your wife and baby made it. Almost sad story but understand how it changed you. Thank you for your work and Best Wishes for 2019!!!!

Thanks for the last FAQ of 2018. Hope you have a great last few days of 2018. Look forward to the new content in 2019. Keep up the good work!

Dear Ola, I've been a long time subscriber since your silent demo days and I can say that I have always looked forward to everything you produce, demo ect. Thanks for being you and happy new year's to the Englund family. Cheers!

Haha detta avsnittet spelades upp helt slumpmässigt ,automatisk. Tänkte fan va omoget detta avsnitt var kan inte va något av de nyare avsnitten :P Snacka om att kvalitén på innehållet i dessa videos blivit bättre på senare åren , sjukt stor skillnad.

I find you very informative and entertaining and also very funny. Yes I had to listen to your bands after finding out about the Haunted and Feared. I really like the family moment you had there and the strange surprises that pop up. Best wishes in the new year for joy and success on all fronts.

I love your channel. I just enjoy how down to earth and open everything is. Happy new year.

Happy birthday to your daughter! I only discovered your channel about 5 months ago, but I wish it was before. Since then I started to listen to The haunted and Feared, I got my first Feared album Reborn, which was devalued because of your signature. Keep up the good work. Ps. Your guitars are awesome, I will get one someday.

Dude, the story in the beginning made this my favorite FAQ ever. Happy new year Ola!

Glad nyår Ola . Cheers

Hey Ola. After watching a burpload of your videos, I figured out that I should probably listen to feared. I did. And I love it. I obviously had to buy all the music and the guitarplayer editions as well. Awesome. Thank you. Keep the burps coming 🤘🏼

Happy bday to your daughter! Happy new year to the Englund family and to everyone here and their families. Together we stand!! Stay Metal!! 🤘🏻🎸🔥

Thanks for all your work Ola. Been following since you were still an accountant and really enjoy your vids. Cheers from New Zealand!

Happy birthday to the little one dude! I remember that moment you spoke of and it killed me so I cant imagine how you felt, but it just makes her even more special in this world! Hope she has a wonderful birthday!

Holy shit Ola, that story gave me chills. Happy birthday to your daughter and happy new years! I'm really looking forward to the solo album 'cause your riffs are sick and your leads are killer. You mentioned chill music and my mind immediately went to you playing jazz. . . . there's no way that can be a thing, right? Right?

This video hit me right in the feels. My kid's had all kinds of medical issues. Got through most of it and hanging with him is all that matters. This video is why Ola rules youtube and all other tubers shall bow before his awesomeness

You are the most positive person on yt and great guitarist. Your's videos make me happy and inspiaried to play diffrent on guitar thank you Ola happy new year !!!

So happy for you and your beautiful family Ola.. you are a great man and I have a lot of respect for you 👍🏻 Happy New Year, brother. Here’s to another great year.

Hola Ola!! I have been following you for some time. I don't usually comment but i thought this was a good time for it. Many people may only see the stupid jokes, the burps and the rudeness, but i know that you are really a great person and a better father, i knew the story about your dog and i just heard your daughter's story, i am glad that everything worked out and i am really happy for you, i have even shed a tear. Take care of your family and i know its already late but happy birthday to her and merry christmas to you and your family. Keep rocking, love your videos!!!

Hey Ola, thank you for the amazing year! I watched every faq, tons of your videos, and you're still my favourite youtuber. But what you said in this video was very touching, and inspiring. As a lot of musicians, i fight everyday with tons of bullshit in my head about playing, tone etc etc. And your words were amazing. Happy new year dear Ola, to you and your beautiful family!

Very cool message at the end there. You deserve your success and much more. Happy new year man!

Great video as always, Ola! Tell your daughter Happy Birthday from us! That story was very touching.

Love it when your family appears in your videos, Ola! Happy birthday to your little girl, and happy new year for you and your loved ones. What are your thoughts on Sepultura? Their latest albums are just KILLER, Andreas is playing better than ever (and that's saying something!) and Eloy Casagrande is just overkill on drums, guy is a beast. Cheers from Brazil, bro. Have a good one!

Happy birthday little molly. I feel for u ola, hard times. But now, ur an awesome guy and awesome guitarist. Family is everything

Happy birthday to your daughter and may you and your family have a blessed New Year!

Ledsen att höra om din fru och ditt barn men glad att höra att det gick väl. Lev Väl. Pinge

That you came through the other side of a scary and dark episode in your life with a better, stronger and healthier attitude says a lot about you as a man. So many people choose to piss, moan and whine if they hit a speed bump in life instead of being grateful. And Happy Birthday to the little one!

Ola. First off love your channel. Second I’d like to say something about my time in Sweden. I spend some time installing a machine at a snowboard factory in ostersund. And was surrounded by a lot of people that knew English and a common interest of metal. So we shot the shit a lot. I was incredibly impressed by how many people knew English and how excellent the grammar was. They told me how Swedish is the first language you learn and the mandatory English classes and than a third which is minor. Fuck it made me see how lazy us Americans are. I’ve been to 14 countries and don’t know any other languages. Thought you’d appreciate my little rant. Your incredible guitar work, truths and rants make your channel top notch. Thanks man.

Emotional Englund. Cheers man. Hope you have many more good years.

Your daughter (and wife) are a blessing. Happy they are still with you!!!!

Always good to share these things. Thanks Ola, love you even more now 😊

You are a good person indeed, sharing with us all good moments, laughs, etc.and thats the best mental attitude to face life in my humble opinion. keep on the good job, buddy.

Happy Birthday to the wee bonnie lass! It’s my fiancé birthday today ass well. I’m glad your family came out of that relatively unscathed. Those are some tough Swede gals, and you’s a tough Swede poppa. A happy new year to you and yours. I hope it brings you more time with your family and more success in your many endeavors.

Happy for you this day OLA. Much love to you! Happy you and your family are healthy and well this day.

the riff to lord resistance army IS one of the best metal riffs in a while. cheers buddy ^_^

Grattis på din dag Malin! Thank you for the great videos Ola, always fun and informative to watch you! Much love, happy new year!

Can't believe that it's already 4 years since that happened , I still remember that day cuz ola shared the news and the updates on facebook , it was such a relief for him , his friend and his fans .

Hey Ola, in response to the question about 18+ shows in Australia. They're usually super strict with ages (depending on the venue), and mostly the only reason that it's an 18+ show is because a bar is present somewhere within the venue (which you have to show ID at to get alcohol anyway). It sucks that they don't let younger people into venues, even with adult supervision just because there's a bar which requires ID to buy any alcohol from anyway. In Australia, minors are allowed in bars with adults but there seems to be exceptions for gigs and shows.

I hopa that the 2019 be even betrer for you, your family and solar guitars. You are a great man

Thanks for everything you do! It's much appreciated man. Hope you and your family have a great start to the new year! Been a fan of your videos since 2013, and your guitar playing and attitude is inspiring. And your videos help with depression. Always enjoy your FAQs and series, they definitely help brighten up my day! Thanks Ola! Getcha Pull! 🤘

@Ola - this was my first year watching your channel and I can only wish you to stay true and continue at what you are doing in the coming year. And be 'Positive Ola' \m/ This channel always had amazing info for noobs, for advanced musicians, I laugh so much when you crack a joke, I mean - everything a music channel need to have - you have it! And I am looking forward buying a Solar 6 string tenor in 2019.!! As you said - we are a big family :) I wish your sweet family all the best. Your kids are just a blessing! Stay amazing and positive! \m/

Hey Ola. Thanks for sharing a deeply personal detail about your life. My wife suffered an eptopic pregnancy 16 years ago ( a week before Xmas) and lost a lot of blood. I really did not know if I would see her alive again. Lucky she survived but we lost the child. We have a daughter who is 14 now and loves music and playing the ukulele. The point is it sometimes catches up with me like a slap in the face and that you as a man posting your story helps me to know I am not alone with these things, considering us men feel we need to hide that stuff and be tough men. Thanks. Ps. I awarded you person of the year in my annual Matty awards on facebook. Congrats.

had no idea about this. Experiences like this suck, but make you stronger! Happy birthday to little Olette! :)

Have a great new year Ola, just recently subscribed and loving all your videos

Thanks for kicking so much ass in 2018! Can't wait to see what you have for us in 2019! See Ya!

Hey Ola! Tks for all lessons about gear you've been doing those years. I'm an old subscriber here, saw all the evolution about you started speaking with cameras and today you just nailed it! And I just bought my ax8 'cause your vids, and used your vids even to make my own presets and understand how it works! Tks for been a inspiration about doing whatever you want in your life, instead of complaining about what you do and doing nothiing to change it, like 99% of people out there!!

ola, u and ur family are a frikkin inspiration to all. guitarists, non-muso's. your just a really friendly, approachable guy. we all love ya ola.
