FAQ97 - METALLICA, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, THE HARDEST SOLOS 

MORNING WOOD!

Holy shit, Ola read my story. Thanks man, so much respect, my heart jumped when you read it. Edit: you are the first person to properly pronounce my last name. This, wow, I'm just amazed at your amazing supporting community you've created. I have so much respect for you. It's so cool. Through the story about your daughter and wife almost leaving this Earth, and leaving big companies to go on your own. It's an inspiration to a young dude like myself. You, Jared Dines, Mike the Music Snob, and Austin Dickey changed my life for the better. I can't gather the words for my undying appreciation. And the fact you plugged your discord, I saw as a good thing. You putting out there that you are spreading possitivity, through your fans. You interact like a RU-vidr with a tenth the following, it's admirable. Thank you, Ola, for everything.

Miss Machine is the album that got me into Dillinger. More specifically, the song Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants

the way I watch Ola’s videos: push like first and then just sit back and enjoy

Calculating Infinity and Ire Works are both great Dillinger albums to start with

Dillinger and Mike Patton - Irony Is a Dead Scene

Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity is a masterpiece of an album. I was obsessed with it when it first came out, 20 years ago, and it's still one of my favorite albums of all time.

You're doing root beer wrong. A&W or IBC is what you want.

I haven't seen anyone recommend One of Us is the Killer yet. IMO it's perfectly balanced between melodic and chaotic. The title track is still in my top 10 most groovy songs.

Dillinger Escape Plan albums to try: Calculating Infinity Option Paralysis And Ire Works

You always get a laugh out of me Ola! Always love the positivity! Keep it coming.

Thank you Ola for making the music YOU like and the fact that many of us in the world like it too is a bonus!! Your channel has inspired me to rethink not only guitar playing but gear also and how it can be used, and has opened up a new tone world and helps when stuck in a rut. Thank you !! PS Positive Ola

Sergeant Anger made my day!! 🤣 Great FAQ, thanks for picking up my question!

Hey. The Dilinger Escape Plan album: Best production and everything is last album "Dissociation". Love "Irony Is a Dead Scene" [EP] with MIKE PATTON!!!

I been in the hospital for the past month. Watching your your videos makes me forget my serious situation I am under. My life has been turned upside down but your positivity gives helps give me a drive to keep pushing forward. You are also one of the reasons I picked up the gutiar. I brought it with me to the hospital. Thank you and hope to be in one of your jam videos in the future.

Man, I like that when you started to list things off about what makes you happy the intial thought was of your family and then guitar.

That morbid angel signature guitar sitting pretty. Get the guys from morbid angel on coffee with Ola, it would be great!

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine is the album for ya, plenty of memorable tunes there.

Awesome to have my question featured, thanks for the info! I hadn't watched the faq yet and a friend of mine was like I saw you on ola's new faq and I thought he just meant he saw my comment on the previous one.... then I started watching this earlier and was like OH you meant I was IN the new faq! haha

Hey Ola. Just wanted to say you're the reason I look forward to Sundays! (Other than not having to go to work) Love all your content and FAQs....it really does feel like we're all family here! Love you Ola! Keep it up, man

Dillinger.....start with Miss Machine. Listen to it over and over and over lol. You start to memorize all of the weird quirky......things. Fantastic album. Some insane stuff and some catchier stuff.

What the heck. Root beer is delicious. White rock is not a good brand, however. You need to try a&w, barq's, or IBC.

I like that you release the faqs when you do. I usually am just finishing up at work when i get the ding, and watch when i get home. Is a great way to wind down and relax for a few minutes. Late nite cheers from Cincinnati!

I'm actually glad your videos are released so early on Sundays! I can't sleep for shit, so it gives me something to do at 5am in the US. And, it VERY much matters what brand of rootbeer you drink! It's gotta be A&W brand, for sure!!

notification squad 🤘🏽 edit: i just wanted to say hope the rest of your week is kickass Ola The Swede

I'd recommend Irony Is a Dead Scene by Dillinger Escape Plan. It's an EP, but Mike Patton did the vocals and I think added lots of fun weirdness and atmosphere that DEP going forward kept revisiting.

Hola Ola, Thank you. Your FAQs are almost everytime my first thing on sundays. The are allways lifting my mood. Stay awesome! Greatings out of germany

Good vibes to you, Michael! Get well soon!

A&W Root beer all I am saying

I'd recommend Calculating Infinity even tho its not my favorite, but its a good place to start. Personally I dont think they have a bad album ♥️

Mate u always seem so happy and humble! Cheers!

Oh fuck, Hexen running in the gameplay screen!? That's awesome! Crazy good memories playing this one on the n64, really nice seeing you're a fan of this game as well!

Ola, you really should check out some of the new Metallica album. Spit out the bone is incredible. Keep up the positivity!

For the next FAQ...Ola can you tell us the significance of some of your tattoos?

Cheers Ola from the Jersey Shore! Thank you for all of your efforts. Still play your solo record constantly!

Great way to start the day! Thx Ola. 🤘

A few guitar players are really tough to emulate due to the amount of details and groove they put in their stuff. Dimebag is one of them, another one is Marty Friedman.

Will it chug: Boss ds1

Dude, your videos make me very happy. You never fail to make me laugh. And you do have a great Discord channel.

Hi Ola. Thanks for the great FAQs over the years. One idea is that after the question is shown in full-screen, also have it shown while you're answering it (maybe much smaller and in the corner). This way, it's easier for the viewer to know which one you're currently answering regardless of where they land while searching the video.

Favorite death album? Most underated death album?

From a guitar player's perspective, who's your favorite bass player?

In a crazy world the guitars and vids keep us happy.

G'day Ola! That's my massive head of hair at 6:27, cheers for sharing this cool clip!!

Hey Ola! Love your work. Could you do an episode about Morbid Angel sound and gear for “ Where the Slime Live ?” Thanks Terry 💀🤘🤘☠️

Hi Ola! Greetings from South Texas, now that you have Solar Guitars, have you considered doing a Solar Dimebag tribute guitar?

Had the privilege to open for Dillinger, they are super humble and great. Hung out on the tour bus and talked about Garth Brooks for an hour haha. Super good dudes. Miss Machine may be my fav record.

Glad to hear your hand is healing well Ola!

Calculating Infinity is a good album by Dillinger Escape Plan

Will it chug: Diet Root Beer. No, chug it not. The regular stuff is not too bad. Not my favorite though.

Ola the Positive FAQerer! Stay you, stay positive, love love love your YT channel! Each FAQ episode is an awesome part of my Sunday...stay badass!

I enjoy waking up to a new video!

Honestly, every Dillinger album is great, but you couldn't go wrong with either Calculating Infinity or Miss Machine.

Have you heard about the band Guns'n'Roses? If so, thoughts on it?

Your videos are always good ola you do an awesome job man keep it up man

Man sometimes you make me so happy. Learning to laugh at myself. Keep it up!

What's your favorite Solid State Randall head?

I almost bought one of your logo t-shirt thinking it was a strapping young lad tshirt.... was like "finally!! I found one" ... but nope....

I'm glad for early posts since I wake up and then watch them

Love the Dime Lighting Bolt Ola

Have you heard exhorder's new track?

I love root beer, especially A&W.

You making those faces while playing a hard lick is so relatable!

"Calculating Infinity" is a great Dillinger Escape Plan Album. The song "Sugar Coated Sour" is great and "43% Burnt" is a classic. I also love the album "Miss Machine" and the song "We are the Storm" (My favorite DEP song). I got to see them in Tokyo on their last tour and it was insane! Thanks for the vid Ola and I hope your hand heals well!

Good morning! Ola please tell my wife I am allowed to buy as many guitars as I want. Thanks from Canada

"Drunk Americans" (and Canadians 🇨🇦) 😕

God morgon! Doesn't really matter what time a video is released, if it's interesting I'll watch it as soon as I get the notification :D

I just saw Glenn playing a solar guitar in his new video. That's awesome, man!

You said the only people that are awake are the Europeans and drunk Americans. I feel attacked. So what if I’m drunk?

Miss Machine that's a killer album by Dillinger Escape Plan. "One of Us is the Killer" as well! I love that band.

One of Us Is the Killer is the best Dillinger album to start with, Prancer is one of their biggest songs, it’s a great starting point that accurately portrays what’s so unique and captivating about their sound

Always dope to get this notification after a fun night out!

Tja Ola! Love your videos, and thought I'd share a few Dillinger songs that I like. First is called "Clip the apex... Accept instruction." from the album 'Calculating Infinity'. Next is "When good dogs do bad things." from 'Irony is a Dead Scene' featuring Mike Patton when Dillinger was between singers. Finally a something with a little less edge, more of a straight forward rocker is "Highway Robbery" from 'Miss Machine". Hope you enjoy something from this list, I'm always looking forward to seeing what your up to next. Lycka Till!

I love what he said about his thoughts on owning one guitar vs. buying lots of guitar gear and guitars. I agree.

Fantastic FAQ , I should really thank you for telling your idea about buying new gears and stuff , it was such a huge relief that I know I'm not the only person who think the same way , although I don't have enough money to buy new stuff but even a small one really helps me to improve and inspires me as you said , and your channel has a awesome environment as you said so friendly and warm , after many years of being subscriber I still enjoying it more and more , keep it up man 😉🤟

Thank you Ola.

Hexen! Man that game is old school. Used to play it as a kid, totally forgot about it until now.

Dillenger Escape Plan: my two favourite songs that you should checkout are Milk Lizard and One of Us is the Killer. Ps your channel rips. Love starting my Sunday having my coffee and watching your FAQ 🤘from Canada

Hola Ola, I am from Mexico and I am travelling to Norway next week recommend me some food that I must try while I am there. Keep the FAQ videos being positive. Cheers mate

miss machine from tdep...it changed my perception of heavy music...keep up the good work

Absolutelyyyyyy right about Dimebag solo!!! Damn they are tough to learn

Dillinger put on an incredible live show. Saw them 3 times, always entertaining, chaotic and an incredible display of talent. All the albums are good, but when Greg joined the band on Miss machine it went in a creative new direction and got really good. Watch their final show on RU-vid. It’s a great summary of what they did.

That mad upstroke was a red alert thumb risk! Lol Ola the chancerer

Finally i got what you did for the animated video desktop you have :D Was driving me insane XD

Early morning faqs are great. Me and the wife always start a Sunday morning with coffee and an FAQ

Dillinger essential albums are Calculating Infinity (old singer Dimitri) Miss Machine (new singer Greg) Under the Running Board EP

For The Dillinger Escape Plan, my favourite album is 'Miss Machine', it was my introduction to them, Panasonic Youth is such a killer song, album opener, and it just has the best vibe from start to finish, in my opinion

Hey Ola! Glad to hear your thumb is healing up well. I was hoping to get your advice on what to expect/do at your first metal concert? I picked up some tickets for Slayers Final Campaign tour with Primus, Ministry, and Phil Anselmo and the Illegals. Thanks and have a good day!

I’m in the US and I’m awake because I’m weird. Looooove my early Sunday morning OLA FAQ’s.

Hi Ola, I think the fact that you usually upload at a off peak time is a good thing. A lot of times your latest upload will be the most current upload of my RU-vid subscriptions for like 6 hours in a row. I check RU-vid and there’s Ola yet again, #1 on my feed. If you uploaded at a more high traffic time, your videos would get lost amongst all the other uploads. Glad you like to think outside the box 📦❤️

Drunk Canadians, too! Well, drunk today, but most nights I'm just awake (I'm drunk because my dog died, and I loved her). I've had insomnia since I was a kid. Rather than fight it and take drugs to sleep, I make art, practice bass or guitar, watch vids. Seeing your vids pop up at 2am (or later) for me standard fare my typical of waking moments. I sleep when I'm tired and I'm never tired. Cheers from North Bay Ontario Canada! I look forward to your videos (at any hour) keep 'em coming. If I wasn't poor, I'd be member.

I agree with you 100% with the Dime solos, Also I learn by ear, rarely refer to tab's.

5:36....I live in Eastern Standard time, (East Coast, USA!) and your FAQ releases at about 1-2am....not a problem either! It’s about 4am right now, and I had nothing to do! So I call ur bluff Ola! U knew EXACTLY what u were doing releasing ur videos this early! It’s ok tho....I won’t tell anyone!! 😉

Ola FAQ is always part of my Monday morning routine! Keep doing what you do Cheers from Canada... #teamcart

Ola, we love you

Ola, love your videos. They're the highlight of my Sundays (at least until the NFL starts). My question is, have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons, or any other tabletop RPGs? Cheers from Mexico.

Seeing Metallica next Tuesday for the second time.. Words can't describe how hyped I am!

Hey man massive Dillinger fan. Their heaviest records are Miss Machine and Calculating Infinity. Infinity has a different vocalist than the rest of the records. Option Paralysis is my person favorite it has a mix of some of their heaviest most intricate songs with more melodic rests in between. They are one of the most talented, hard working metal bands with the best shows I've ever seen. Don't skip over them they are definitely worth it, it took me several listens to truly get it and I've never turned back. The rest of the records are all amazing, this should just be a starting point.

Sgt. Anger!! Gotta steal this idea!

I know exactly what you mean about the Dimebag solo's, always found that bit tricky in Cemetary Gates, even in the Cowboys from Hell solo he does that crazy stretch with the slide up with the pinky, very awkward to nail his solos and to do them confidently each time you play them.
