One of the things I love about Ola is that he is a music fan and not a rock star: he goes to concerts and enjoys them like anyone else, gets nervous when he plays with his idols (Petrucci...), remains humble when they remind him that he is a fantastic guitar player... Keep up the good work mate!
Duncan already hit the $1k+ price point with their Zephyr silver wound pickups. We happened upon several of them in a buyout that were used so I installed one in my guitar to see what the extra $900 gets you, I heard no difference
I was bitching about all LH guitars beeing black because, well, most are ;) But this one is a head-turner! Because of this appearance is an extremely important selling point for left-handed guitars.
Ok. Gonna fanboy out. Ola - dude. Your music beds are cinematic - you are so soulful on your solos - and shred in all the right spaces. LOVE your stuff
Very exciting SWOLA! Perfect intro, weird news about that Gibson pickup, and WTF IS THAT BALENCIAGA CRAP Fun times! Great seeing you at NAMM this year :)
That balenciaga thing ain't aimed for metalheads even tough the name, many rap/emo-rap artists use black metal style logos or straight up bm band shirts.
Hi Ola, i always give a thumbs up, most often somewhen in between the show. Today was at 0:50 when the solo started. GRRREAT! This could be an amazing „airy“ Metal song!
SWOLA's have been kicked up a notch lately imo! It's like the same old classic Ola content but just better. The intro songs, the quality of the footage for adventures, mixing it up... Good stuff, Ola. 👏
The reason you know the name Balenciaga is because of their weird ads last year involving child abuse. The reason they're doing 'metal' clothes is because of the Kardashians, and other rich socialites, wearing Slayer and other metal band's T-shirts
Nik Nokturnal went over the Balenciaga thing and he and the chat figured out that the designer straight up copied the merch designs of some bands. But also remember, that's the designer brand that had BDSM ad campaigns last year that included children and teddy bears and that shit is not cool, to say the absolute least
@@tomsmith184You're not wrong, he's had a fan on and off ever since he's was in his apartment and collaborating Keith merrow... I've been watching forever, I don't understand why ola doesn't know me hahaha
I remember suggesting to bring Tommy on for coffee with Ola back some years ago. Would like to recommend that again. The guy is indeed incredible and would be a great interview
Cool & fun episode! So funny with the testing of the autotune! Laughed my ass out! Great way to start a sunday. Cheers from Greenland and have fun at Namm. 🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱
Definitely entertaining, intro song was sick as fuck… cool of you to help that guy out with the part. Lucky for him you were able to help… More Ola’s in the world please… 🎸🤓👍
The balenciaga is not aiming at metal fans. They aim is on rich people who for some reason started to think that wearing metal bands t-shirts and other clothing is cool fashion statement. If that company started using real bands' names on their products, I think it would be even worse.
My band opened for you in six feet under I think in 2011 charlotte North Carolina I have been following you since even before that so I was excited when we found out we would be opening for you guys.
The worst toxic event i can recall in metal was when a member of Nuclear Hellfrost desecrated Dimebag's grave. What a POS! No, we will never forgive or forget.
It took me one minute to find this from the Blabbermouth website. The "desecration" was a hoax. Statement from the band: "The posts about us and to us are a complete surprise to us. Anything having to do with grave desecration was entirely a hoax put on by our former lead singer completely disconnected from the other members of the band. If you see Dimebag's grave, you can see there is nothing carved into his grave, the only thing that exists is a photo of a piece of paper posted by the former member. We are strongly against any sort of homophobia, racism, or outright disrespect for a human being. We have nothing but the utmost respect for Dimebag, and this is a misguided political publicity stunt that we were dragged into by a former member with an awful sense of humor. NUCLEAR HELLFROST as a band would like to apologize on this former member's behalf to not only Dimebag's fans, but most importantly his family. Again, the members of NUCLEAR HELLFROST had absolutely ZERO actual involvement in any of the alleged actions described by our former singer. Again, nothing but respect to Dimebag as a human being and condolences to his family. These are fabricated and contrived allegations on the Internet that never happened in real life." Believing everything you read on the internet is just plain idiotic. The internet has been available to the public for around 30 years so people should know this by now.
Ola, I continually hear more and more Petrucci in your lead sound. Totally awesome. I would love to hear you do a whole Prog Metal album. (I would also love to fly 7 hours north to come play bass and sing on it. 😉)
When we were teens in the 80s, we just got the official patches for every band and sewed/ironed them onto everything. My best friend had a Levis jeans jacket with every badass metal band of the 80s on it. The Big 4 and people like Ozzy, Dio, ACDC were large patches, and little ones for bands like Accept, Anvil, Savatage, Scorpions etc. that you liked, but didn't listen to as much. Even today, that's going to be way cheaper to make, and the band's logos will be official.
Ola, maybe you and Jeff Loomis could do a project together. The riffs the 2 of you come up with might just end world hunger and bring peace to the world.
That Lefty V is awesome. I had an Alexi listed last month because i was looking for work and someone wanted to trade their Solar lefty V which is like one of the only other types I would've wanted but I needed money at the time. Found work finally so, now keeping an eye out for them cannibalismos

Regarding the toxic metal fandom stuff. I kinda suspect that the "baddiecore" bands are a bit "extra" exposed. They get fans from other realms, and toxicity is out there, everywhere. Also I wish I could have seen Periphery! They are so cool and funny. And Jake's reaching out to you, hoping you had some spare parts for his Ibanez. You are a hero for getting it for him 😅
I have the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbuckers in my Les Paul, and I love them. SD basically followed the same approach Gibson are doing there, and those pickups are astoundingly good, so touch sensitive. I can’t really say that I think these Gibson pickups are $700 better
