Hello everyone and welcome to my 53rd...
...FAQ video and do not worry, I have not been in an accident, I'm just showing off the new awesome merch
That is available from the merch website, look
Huh? You can get your own.
Vests like this, very important, in some countries it's a law to have one of these vests in your car
Why not get a Feared one?
From feared.spreadshirt.se
Check it out, order one, and you know, if you have one of these guitars, it will go very well...
You know, when playing live, so it's...
There it is, it's just a little tip for you, you don't have to...
I think it's kinda cool, I'm goona wear this when I pick up my kids maybe.
Alright first question, shit.
"Hi Ola, what is your relation with Meshuggah?
"You seem to be very close to the different members of the band, how so?"
I do know the guys in Meshuggah a little bit, because we shared rehearsal space...
...back when I was in Scarpoint
and I also toured with them, with The Haunted and Scarpoint, so I do know them.
I've dealt with Fredrik a little bit more than the other guys and we've nerded out and stuff like that
and so yeah, I'm not really super close with them, but...
It's a good hang, can't really say anything more
They suck by the way.
Awful, awful band.
"What about Ola merch? So, not band merch, but some kind of burp shirts"
It's not an entirely bad idea to be honest, I am actually making Ola merch, so...
Stay tuned.
What the f*** was that kind of thumb? That's a... yeah.
Hopefully that will not offend anyone that I'm giving this little **** kind of thumb...
That was not on purpose, I promise.
"I disliked cuz there was no burp in the video"
"Liked for burp free"
Well, what the **** am I supposed to do? Should I burp, should I not burp?
You're not making it easy for me here, okay?
I don't know what's up with my arms, but they're kind of living their own life right now, let's have a coffee.
You know, burps are not funny they're natural.
It's just like... it's bowel movements and throat happening...
Shit... that...
Get a job
You guys are really hard on me on this one, I do have a job, this is my job.
Delivering burp videos for you, so I can earn all the money in the world.
F*** you.
"Greetings Ola, why do you think more amp manufacturers did not bother
"with fully programmable tube amps preamps like the Mesa Triaxis? (Before modellers matured)
"Very curious as to your reply, since you have gone through the process of designing your own amp
"and dealing with both the engineering and company/ financial side"
The reason why some amp companies choose not to have and why some choose to have
is because not everyone uses MIDI equipment, or you know, fully programmable equipment.
A lot of people use pedals with their amplifiers
And putting in, you know, MIDI functionality and fully programmable parameters into an amplifier
It costs a lot of money.
If your target audience is not MIDI people, why would you put that into the amplifier?
If the end result will be that it will cost a lot more money
I'd rather have a product that's available at as a low of a cost as I can
So people can add stuff on to that if they wish
Like the Triaxis as an example, is made to be a rack unit, together with other rack units
which was kind of like the thing back in the 90s
When you know, John Petrucci had like 2 refrigerators basically with equipment that was MIDI controllable
So, I mean that product... an analog amplifier controlled digitally
so people could have perfect control over their sound, that's just a totally different product I think.
Like, in my case, I have a Randall Satan which basically just has footswitch controls and that's it.
it's because I don't really need more
And I think a lot of people don't really need more than that in some extent, so there you go.
Did I answer the question? Probably not, but **** you.
"Is the JP wah pedal still holding up your monitor?"
It is.
Let me film that real quick.
So, some of you might know that I have a really big ultra wide super awesome monitor from Asus.
Not sponsored by the way, I paid it with my own money.
Don't give me that bullshit.
Anyway, it's so big my desk is too small.
And my desk can't support the back foot of the screen
So I have this awesome John Petrucci Wah and it's an excellent pedal for holding up my monitor.
So there you go, that's a...
...Pretty expensive monitor stand, but that's just how it is
It was probably the first thing I saw when I kind of like wanted to fix this problem that I had
So there you go, it's...
"Ola can you play a Dream Theater riff? Thanks"
Okay, riff of the day, shit, awesome.
That was the guitar stand.
Riff of the day, it's a new segment of mine...
where I show a super awesome riff.
It's a Dream Theater riff, it's from the song Erotomania.
It's the intro which is a little fun to play
It's almost like a practice of the chromatic scale, check this out.
It's a really ugly riff, but I kinda like it. So, slow...
There you go, riff of the day.
And I played a Dream Theater riff, great for you, my little friend.
"As a musician, how do you make your days different by any others?
"To have changes in your life and fill the moist meter with creativity...
"Also, with your 5 bucks community pass, will you release any demo songs?
"Because there's still one very special song showed in the Hughes and Kettner review
"that I wanna hear in full length, because it's so damn good."
You know, I just take the day as they come and go, you know? It's like...
I start the day exactly the same...
You know, having breakfast with my kids, taking them to daycare in school, having coffee...
So, the days start exactly the same and then it's just like...
I just go about my business, it's not like I'm trying to make it different from any other day or anything like that.
I just, you know, try out new gear, let myself be inspired by new stuff...
Maybe I check on a YouTube video that I really liked and maybe I get inspired
So I try to like just take it as it comes, you know?
And just go with the flow, if it becomes a bad video, huh.
F*** it, it's a bad video, that's just how it is
Next day it might be super awesome.
Regarding the 5 bucks community membership thing that you will get exclusive videos
and extra production tutorials and stuff like that...
I have planned a video where I go through the full process of me writing a shorter song
for an upcoming Solar Guitars reveal video.
So, that's something I'm gonna do. If I'm gonna release demos there...
I'll have to see, I haven't really decided how to 'fix' that, in a sense, but...
There's a lot of content already there.
Go be a member... and I also had a live stream yesterday for members only, very beautiful.
I drank beer and I became not so drunk...
I have no idea because this FAQ is recorded before I had that live stream, so I'm just talking shit.
I mean, I'm probably super sober and super boring.
We'll just have to see... if you're a member and you attended my livestream
let me know how it went down in the comment section.
"Hey Ola, if you liked the LFL footage, well, you better do a search of BBW, cheers from Down Under."
Okay, let's do this then
Alright, gotcha. B... BBW...
Bee suits, beekeeping. Okay, let's just search for BBWs and see what's up.
Oh...
Xvideos
Milf, porn, chubby women, fat mom tube...
No, I'm not gonna watch this. You're just trying to make me watch porn, that's not funny at all.
Okay, let's go in and watch a porn, because I mean, this is my channel.
What the **** is this?
Oh my god, okay, good for you, buddy. I still don't know what it stands for, can I...?
BBW meaning...
Big beautiful woman
Good, I can definitely support that, okay, good.
Thank you so much for demonetizing this video for me
Thank you so much CTP Mark, I enjoy it.
"I saw 'demonetised' and my initial reaction was
"screw YouTube for once again creating hell for another one of my favorite content producers
"I wanted to say thank you, whenever I feel like I'm not playing well or need a laugh
"I can always come to your channel for some inspiration
"it's awesome to see how real you are on camera and how much you care about your family
"coming from a place where metal of all types is looked down upon
"Your content was always fresh air."
Thank you so much, f***, I have the most awesome followers. They're f***ing great, you know?
This, messages like this make me really happy.
It might be weird for you to hear, but I'm getting inspired by comments like that
I mean, you're boasting my ego
but hopefully in a good way, so I can create better and more 'fun' content.
So thank you so much Shattered Matrix Incorporated for your lovely comment, I love that.
"I fucking hate you."
Whoa.
Whoa, okay.
WaRLoKWYATT, okay.
Shit, that's kind of like hard words right there.
Okay, let me see if I can go and find this guy, seems like he needs some help.
Maybe he's... Oh, BBW, still on there, good that I have that.
BBW is now my homepage when I open up Safari, okay.
Let's see, I need to... Oh, he has 1300 subscribers, that's great.
Okay, let me see. Okay, I'm trying to find out why he's hating me.
But he seems like a cool dude, he likes Korn... Oh, there's a chick in there.
It seems like this guy is a little troubled, his phone broke, so...
You know, do yourself a favor, go in to WaRLoKWYATT...
He needs more subscribers, and he needs a little bit of love and maybe he can stop hating me.
Is that how you solve things? I don't know
Alright, Swedish word of the day, it's a short one
and it's the word 'puss'.
Which is when you kiss someone, so like my wife, I go 'puss' her...
I know it resembles the word p**** in English
but for me it means that you kiss someone in the nicest way you can.
And a funny thing is that the word 'kiss'...
Like, the equivalent of 'puss' in English means 'to pee' in Swedish, 'kiss', like 'pee'
'Pee in my face, kiss in my face'. There you go, Swedish word of the day, great, f*** I love myself.
"Hey Ola, I feel bad for not buying a Solar guitar
"To be honest, It's taking you way too long to make a 7 string V Solar guitar
"So I'm gonna buy Svart and the t-shirt and watch your ads, sorry"
You don't have to feel obligated to buy a guitar.
If you feel like you want to buy a guitar, then you buy a guitar
You don't have to do buy a guitar just to make me happy, okay?
It's a free world out there
Now that we have that part out of the way, it's taking too long for me to make a 7 string V Solar guitar?
Chill down.
I'm working my hardest to make all the models available, you know...
Like an 8-string Explorer with a dildo on its headstock
I'm trying to make like the shit-brown type A with a tampon looking pickup
and it's like I'm trying to do all those requests that you want...
You just have to give me a little bit of time, okay?
So... Tampon-featured Solar guitar, coming in solarguitars.com near you...
But yes, buying merch definitely helps, thank you so much for the contribution.
"Hey, I love your vids
"Question: I hear a lot of people say I should listen to other types of music to be a better music player
"So, to what extent should one listen to other types of music in order to be better in its own genre?
"When do you open your mind too wide that you no longer play metal as we know it"
I mean, first of all you do whatever you want
If you want to open your mind, if you feel like metal is kind of like boring...
You know, or writing, you're in a rut or whatever...
I think it's helpful to listen to other genres of music just to relax from the metal side of things
And just you listening to something other than metal doesn't mean you have to write that type of music
But it can spark some ideas in your head to think differently regarding the metal that you write
So that's what I think is good about listening to other types of music
It's not to write in that style of that other genre
It's to just find new ideas for metal
Shit that's... wow.
That was so deep that it probably earned me some videos, in some sense...
where people can go and dislike and like and... look at that thumb again
"Hey Ola, would putting a set of 7 string, strings on a Solar guitar be a good idea?"
...Putting a set of 7 string, strings on a Solar guitar be good idea?
This question is hurting my brain.
I- I-
I do not understand this question, I think this is probably the hardest question I've ever received
I guess the answer would be that if you have a 7 string, it would probably be a good idea to put 7 string strings...
on the 7 string gui- guitar.
That's a tough answer, shit, okay.
"Hola Ola, still using the adblock, cheers."
God dammit
"Howdy from Colorado in the good ol USA. In an old demo you did with a Bugera Tri-Rec head...
"What's your honest opinion on this product? Great content Ola, thank you so much"
My honest opinion about the Bugera amplifiers that I tried, I tried a couple, is that they sound great.
No question, they sound great, they're great amplifiers.
But with that said, and I think this is what people are kind of like concerned about
is that I have no experience whatsoever with touring with one or...
You know, having one for a long period of time, I only borrowed Bugera amplifiers, so...
I have no idea if they hold, if you tour with them, or not...
I have not heard anything about this, but I heard back in the day they had a 3-year warranty of their amplifiers
which is really good, I'm not sure that's the case nowadays, but...
My conclusion is: they sound good, I'm not sure how they hold
Good.
"Hello Ola, I really enjoy your videos
"But I was wondering, at which age did you realize that music means something more for you?
"And you had to do more than just playing as a hobby?"
I think that... understanding that music was a thing for me, that came by really early when I was like probably...
16 or 17 years old
But at that time, basically everything I did that was not working, in my spare time, was music.
So, you know, I was sitting there during the evenings and during the weekends...
You know, practicing with my band, playing live, that's what I liked. And you know, it was pure passion.
It is still kind of like pure passion, it's only that I'm doing this for a living now, so I got the dream job.
Not that I'm really playing guitar anymore, I'm just talking in front of a camera, burping.
Dream job.
That was the last question. Thank you so much for watching this video.
If you enjoyed this video, please put a like.
And next week I'm in Japan.
Japan.
when I'm posting my FAQ, so what you'll see, I probably have to just record another FAQ after this one
and just prepare myself...
So you'll get your weekly dose of FAQ videos.
Thank you so much for watching guys, see you next time.
Kind of cool, now I have those rings in my face, that's pretty cool, huh?
Sexy. Sexy rings in my eyes. It's really sexy. Okay, stop, Ola.
