Hello everyone, I'm Ola Englund and welcome...
I was stupid.
What's up everyone? I'm Ola Englund and welcome to my FAQ number 57
I'm currently in Moscow
As you can see probably... Yeah, but no, this is a pre-recorded FAQ, it's not live.
I... Yeah.
So, right now I'm in Moscow, when I post this video, and next week I'm going to China.
I'm looking forward to it a lot and so for the next FAQ video, I'm gonna wing it a little bit.
It's gonna be a special FAQ video, you're gonna like it.
Another thing you're gonna like is this new guitar that we just launched
because I just like launching guitars all over the place, it's what I do.
This is the new Solar V 2.6...
... Halloween guitar and isn't it absolutely amazing?
Let me... oh god, I hope this is in tune.
Okay.
Look at this beauty.
Okay, I need to turn that up, I need some...
Isn't that like the reddest red you've ever read? It's so red. I like it. It's...
B stock.
Great, yeah, so that's... ugh, what's up? Ugh, that's... ugh. What's...?
So, there you go, this is the new V 2.6 Halloween guitar, look at that cool f***ing red inlay right there.
It's just like... you have to have this guitar for Halloween.
Because it's a Halloween guitar.
Again like, talking way too much in the intro and not really answering any questions right now.
So, let's just go... Was there anything else I needed to mention?
Alright, so let's just do the first question then.
"I don't play guitar, but I watch your videos with my husband because you're hilarious and I enjoy your music
"This past Christmas I bought him one of your guitars and when it came, he literally cried the manliest tears
"And I genuinely thought he was going to cum."
"Thanks for making my husband so happy and being awesome
"I also heard you say you wanted more female subscribers, so I went ahead and subscribed."
I mean, where are these wives and females that just keep buying guitars for their boyfriends? I...
You must be a very rare species... I mean, my wife never bought me a guitar.
Louise
You never bought me a guitar.
[Louise] Yeah, I know...
There you go, so... Angel Waters, thank you for being awesome
and keep your teary, cumming boyfriend on check, okay?
"Is the crotch cam gone forever?"
Okay, let's reinstate the crotch cam for a little bit, let me see if I can bring out the crotch... is it there?
Alright, there it is, okay, let's put it on... There it is, look at that.
So... it's back. It's back, people, it's back.
"Question: Hello Ola, since you've been visiting Indonesia to check on Solar factory
"have you checked some local metal bands? Especially Deadsquad
"Probably the biggest metal band in Indonesia, terimakasih."
Oh, that's awesome, I have yet to check out the metal scene in Indonesia, but I'm definitely gonna do that.
The factory is by Jakarta, but I've actually never been into Jakarta.
So, next time I'm going I'm definitely going into Jakarta.
Maybe I'll check out some... I watched some bands at the bar...
But they would just do the covers, I guess.
"Tjo Ola, what happened...
F***.
Okay.
Something itching.
Oh, shit.
ASMR.
I don't know where to place my Apple, there's just shit all over the place.
Can't put it here, it's clean and nice.
"Tjo Ola, what happened to your Axe FX-II? looks like something else in that spot on your desk
"And by the way, your chugging is contagious, I can't play anything without chugging nowadays
"Now Swedish word of the day 'Sten på'
Okay, now, since I got my AX8 pedal...
I haven't had a use for the Axe FX II, so I got rid of the Axe FX II, because...
What I get inside the AX8 Fractal is more than enough for me.
So, why would I keep it? It doesn't make sense.
I don't think I've ever had the Axe FX II in my desk here
but right here is a Torpedo Reload, just for your information.
"Love the mug, are you a fan of Warhammer 40K? Asking because of that meme a while back."
Yes, I am a big fan of Warhammer 40K, not really that much right now
but when I was a kid and a teenager, I played a lot of 40K.
I've answered this question before actually
I don't remember the name of the space marines... of the blue wolves, or whatever wolves...
I don't remember
But my biggest army that I had was a Chaos army.
Back when the Chaos codex came out, I built this massive Warhammer 40K Chaos army
I was like really good at painting their figurines as well.
Like, they were awesome, I was really really good at it.
Unfortunately, that was before the time when you had digital cameras and stuff like that
so I don't have any proof or anything like that.
One day I had all my figurines in a box and I put it on my top of my... of one of my wardrobes
and my mother opened the Wardrobe and all that whole box fell into the floor
and all my figurines scattered all across the floor, and that's when I stopped playing.
Because that just demotivated me.
"Dear Ola, words cannot describe how good your new logo is."
"But numbers can: 3/10"
Funny, funny guy, Evgenii Belik.
Should be Evgenii Bellend.
Blake Curtis: "Don't you just enjoy people criticizing your brand, new logo and you in general?
"When most likely they have nothing to show for
"Good chance they are just miserable lonely creatures and being critics is the only way to get satisfaction in life
"Don't get upset, Ola, you are doing great. Thanks for being yourself."
Yes.
As you probably already understand, I just like taking a jab out of these hateful comments.
And personally I don't care.
You know, I'm too old to care about people criticizing me or...
A very good tip: if you have a problem with getting hateful comments and have no idea how to handle them
get kids, you instantly stop caring about life in general.
You just care about your kids.
"What's the amp behind you? New head?"
There's nothing there.
"What's your point about nu metal? You know, big names like Limp Bizkit, Korn, Deftones, SOAD...
That's System of a Down by the way, I know that now.
"I personally became a metal listener thanks to them."
I think that they definitely had their place in the metal scene.
Think of it like this...
We wouldn't be where we are today if nu metal wouldn't have existed, so...
And honestly I listened a lot to Korn and Deftones back in day
you know, when they released their first albums, and they were excellent, I love those bands.
Limp Bizkit, I listened a little bit to them, not as much, but they were cool
and then everyone else just started doing that and it became a little bit too much
That's just how it is and then something new will evolve and eventually die, that's just how this.
But it definitely Inspired a lot of people and brought a lot of new listeners into the genre
So, I would definitely thank nu metal for a lot of things actually, so there you go.
"Such a disrespectful answer about Children of Bodom, Alexi Laiho has done a lot for metal/ guitar writing
"something that Feared, Haunted, and even SFU are yet to achieve, so kind of lame answer"
Alright, so, I think a lot of people got upset In the way how I answered a question in my latest FAQ
when someone asked me to do a Children of Bodom tone gear video
and I just said no like straight up, but it's like people...
People idolize and create fake news about how I answer the question, which is stupid.
No, the reason why I'm probably not gonna do a video is just because...
You know, I don't have a personal relationship with Children of Bodom.
So far all the tone and gear videos that I've done is something...
With a band that I personally listened to when I was younger.
Or like tones that I really like 'Wow, I want to achieve that tone' and that's where I am today.
Children of Bodom, it's just one of those bands that I did not listen to back in day
I have no idea how they sound like today and I- I- I have no idea, you know...
It's not like I have a beef or anything like that
It's just that I haven't listened to the band, so what can I do? What should I say to make you happy?
I don't know.
But obviously Diego you're not happy, so I'll just leave you at that.
There you go, there's no beef between Sweden and Finland, or Norway, or Gothenburg or Stockholm
It's like... people just want drama and they create it and you're doing it right here, so...
Seriously, f*** you man.
No, no, no, Diego, stay.
I understand, just keep a little bit calm, okay? And thank you.
"Hey Ola, really love your channel and what you do
"my wife also thinks you're funny and watches your videos with me
"She doesn't know this, but I secretly subscribed her to your channel.
"Anyway, I've been thinking about making an amp isolation box for recording
"But I wanted to ask if it's better the 'amp in the room' sound or an isolation box, pros and cons for both?"
Okay, having an isolation box...
A huge Pro is that you shut in the sound
and you're not getting as much leakage or audio in your room
so you can probably record silently at home and stuff like that.
A con with using isolation box is that you're shutting in the sound.
You know, the reflections that you get in the microphone, it's not natural in that sense.
and you're gonna get a very... you're shutting all that audio into one box...
And it's not just... it's just not natural sounding.
So, when I used the isolation box a lot back in the day
I was getting a lot of problems in like the higher bass area around like 150 to 300 Hz
which became like a problem area for me.
And when you record it like in the room like this, you're not getting that type of problems anymore, so...
If you have to record silent in your room and you want to use a real cabinet and speaker
an Isolation box is the way to go.
But if you have the option to record your cab in a room in an open room, I much more recommend that.
Okay, thank you, good Ola, advice Ola.
Ola, the advicer.
"Hi man, 1 you rock, 2 I want to help and yeah, maybe sell thing
"the best thing people are underestimate: backing trac, no vocal, no rhythme guitar or no lead
"I don't have money but I think a app that give you the option to play a song or remove instruments as chosen
"Yeah, you will make money on my back if you do it, it's cool."
I'm gonna give you a tip.
Oh, it's a member exclusive video here by the way, for members only.
Become a member.
I've just made a video of how I wrote the song for the launch of this Halloween guitar.
So if you want to know the process of me writing a song, you can become a member, you can watch this video.
Shameless plugging Ola, oh I love you.
Ok, a little tip for JFL here.
fearedband.com
You're asking for backing tracks, well the thing is that I've been selling backing tracks for quite a while.
If you go to fearedband.com, go into special editions, there's a lot of guitarist editions of my albums
I have three of them right now, for Svart, Reborn and Synder
and when you buy one of these, you get the backing tracks
So, I don't have them available online, but I do have them available on the Feared website.
Thank you so much for making me plug my own shit again, because I just want to make more money.
"Hey, Ola, what do you think about August Burns Red? They are really technical and melodic band."
Okay, I've seen this name so many times now, they're hugely popular.
I'm gonna... I've never heard them I think, but I'm gonna listen to them right now
August Burns Red
2017 or... no, 2018, I want to hear what they sound like right now.
No sound... something I like- Ahhh. Okay, there it is, okay.
Oh, someone's... someone dropped the phone there.
Oh, he's in the mirror, okay, makes a lot of sense.
Nice.
Oh, he's playing blastbeats with a shirt on, I like that.
Yeah, I'm all grunge, but today I'm doing the blasts.
I like grunge, but I can play blast beats as well.
Yeah, I like this... don't go up there, that's a trap.
Don't... don't go up those stairs man, there's something up there, I see it.
Oh, it's a face... whose face? Oh, star face.
There it is.
This is cool.
You know something cool with this video? It's in 4:3, it's not like widescreen, that's cool.
A rose? That's metal.
Rose and guns and skulls.
It's usually something you would use in a video if you are into metal.
Okay, cool. That's it, that's cool, thank you for the tip, I'm gonna check them out
Maybe when I'm on my trip, maybe I'm listening to them right now in Moscow, huh?
Inception, or...
"Hey Ola, new logo is cool, don't listen to the haters.
"What do you think of all the members of Machine Head quitting?"
I think it's sad obviously, because I'm a big fan of Machine Head, but...
Hearing how Rob made a statement and video and talking about how he's too much of a chief in a band...
I totally understand, I'm like that myself.
You know how it is, when you have a band and you're like the main force and main drive of the band
it's hard to get other people to get that same Drive
and maybe they had a lot of problems with taking decisions lately, I have no idea.
It's just how it is, people come and go.
I am confident that he should keep on going
and I'm confident that he probably should ask me to join.
So I can play in his band.
Rob, call me, I'm gonna make your music great again.
No, it's already great, he doesn't need my help, but... call me.
"Hey Ola, is there beef between bands from Gothenburg and bands from Stockholm?
"I heard that rumor a while back, keep up the good work"
If there's beef between Stockholm and Gothenburg
it's only because I made that beef with my Swedish death metal video
where I called Gothenburg 'the asshole Sweden'.
But no, there's not really any beef between Gothenburg and Stockholm.
If there is, it's probably just a gimmick thing to just make it some, you know metal and cool...
You know, fighting against the Gothenburg death metal.
Like, Stockholm death metal is like 'f*** you Gothenburg death metal'
and Gothenburg is like, 'Yeah, but you know what? Your mom is a...' Yeah, and it... yeah, it never ends.
Could be like that... but it's not.
"Ola, whate are the specs of your computer? Debating on rebuilding one before the cheetos tariffs hit.
"Not sure if I should go with a six or eight core CPU. Cheers from the US."
Okay, so I have, since a couple of years, a Mac Pro, okay?
It's a quad-core...
3.7 GHz Xion E5, 32 GB of ram...
Ram it down, there.
And a shitty-ass graphic processor.
And to be quite honest I'm not really happy with this computer.
I had an iMac 5K back in the day and it was a really good iMac computer
And I thought like 'yeah, but I wanna an ultrawide monitor and all that'
So I exchanged my iMac 5K for a Mac Pro and I thought I would get better performance, but I did not.
So I'm a little... I'm a little regretful of getting a Mac Pro, so...
That's the problem with Apple today, it's that...
You know on the hardware side of things they have a problem
they don't have any hardware for like desktop guys like me
but they are now making cool products, like with Thunderbolt 3 you can have an external graphics eGPU
so you don't necessarily need a full computer at home, I just hook up...
I have one outside there, where my wife is, I have an external GPU.
So, she can hook up her computer straight into it and she can edit videos with no problem.
I mean, her environment where she's editing videos, in Final Cut Pro, is a lot better than mine.
It's flawless on her computer, which is a MacBook, you know, a MacBook into a eGPU.
So, I don't know what to do here, I'm just kind of waiting for Apple to update their shit.
But otherwise I have to go that eGPU anyway, so there you go.
"How come you never answer questions from Asian fans like me? Been a fan of your channel for a long time now.
"I guess you hate Asians, huh? K, whatever"
How am I supposed to know you're asian?
Gerardo Fernandez... it's not like you have a really asian name.
I don't generalize questions because of people or what type of people
I just take the questions that I understand and if you're Asian and you cannot write English...
Maybe you should rework your question a little bit, because maybe I didn't understand the question.
I don't know, but I'm doing my best here, okay? I'm not a racist.
Okay?
"Hey Ola, what's your opinion on the new Schecter KM MKIII guitars?"
I think they're excellent looking.
I've seen the import model from close range, because I was with Keith in China a couple of weeks back.
So yeah, looks super awesome.
Keith has great taste when it comes to designing guitars, and...
Is that a burp coming?
So, yeah, I dig the Keith Merrow guitar and I think the design is his as well, so kudos to him.
"Haha, we in Iceland are known to talk while inhaling. Also, your burps are solid 5/7 as always."
5/7, perfect score.
Okay, talking while inhaling, that's interesting.
Okay, let's try.
I am Ola Englund the Swede.
Shit, that's not easy.
I am Ola Englund the Swede.
I have to practice that, that's cool though, I like that, maybe that could be a cool thing.
But why does it sound like there's something going up my butthole when I'm trying to say that?
I'm Ola Englund, hey, how are you doing?
Hi, I'm Ola Englund, I burp on YouTube.
Okay, next question.
"You do are being kind of an asshol lately Ola, what happened?"
That's awesome.
Yeah, and I was kind of like an asshole lately, but it's because you're being assholes.
Just stop being asshole and I...
Oh, Ola the Swede, 'just stop being asshole and Ola stop being asshole'
Great English.
So, Swedish word of the day.
It's the most beautiful word in the Swedish language and it's something that I use quite often.
My kids say it a lot, they like saying this word, It's totally beautiful.
It's the word 'Bajskorv'
Bajskorv is turd basically, like a... you know, the log that you put in your toilet when you take a shit.
In Swedish, it's a combination of two words
which is 'Bajs', which is like shit or turd
and 'Korv', which is Wiener or like sausage.
Which makes a lot of sense, right? Because it looks like a sausage.
So it's a turd sausage basically, that would be like the direct translation of Bajskorv, turd-sausage.
And you must admit this was a great Swedish word of the day and you're gonna use it.
"Ola, any plans to do a tab book of The Haunted? Cheers from Florida."
I had an excellent plan for this and I tried to make it happen through Central Media Records
the great label that released our album.
But let me... let me get... let's see...
So, the format that we had to send the tabbook in, was in vinyl format, so...
They were like 'Yeah, you can't really do a tabbook...
'But if you make a vinyl format tabbook that would fit in a vinyl sleeve, we can send and distribute the tabbook.'
So, this is at a book right here .
It's distributed in the special edition of Strength in Numbers, together with guitar picks and shit.
But the problem is that because it's a tabbook, it has not that many pages, because it can't be too thick.
The tabs are just really really really difficult to read, which is...
I just hate how this came out, which is a f***ing shame to be honest.
That's how it is when you work with labels man, stupid.
But you can get this, you can almost read the guitar...
I mean, you can read it, it's fine, but it's just annoying.
Alright, so maybe riff of the day at the same time, let's pick a riff here.
Tighten the Noose... This is the End, that's a cool one.
The good thing about having tab books is that I do not have to remember riffs, I can just look in the tabbook.
So, let's do the intro for Means to an End, a The Haunted song that I wrote.
Ola Englund plugging himself again, f*** you Ola... Well, f*** you.
So, the intro riff for Means to an End is a good little galloping riff for you to learn, so...
Here it is, it's like this.
So, played slow...
Even slower...
So there you go, riff of the day, awesome, amazing, Ola Englund the Swede.
This is gonna be a long FAQ too, I like it, I had a lot of good questions.
"Hi Ola, I don't know if you're comfortable speaking about this
"but how Solar guitars is doing financially speaking?
"Do you manage to get a profit out or is it too early?"
I can speak a bit about it, I'm not gonna go into details
but yes, Solar Guitars has been going really well, over expectations, which I'm extremely excited about
and the good thing about this is that now I've been able to hire a guy called Savir.
He takes care of all the emails and all that
and my partner Greg takes care of all the operational order systems and all that and...
I do a lot of the photo, video and social medias and product development... stuff like that.
So I'm happy that we were able to bring a guy in that could do all the emails for instance
because that took a lot of my time, so I can spend more time on doing what I should do
which is YouTube videos and all the fun stuff about Solar Guitars.
So, I'm very happy about that.
A big change that I've managed to do now was to hire my wife as a help for Solar Guitars and for me.
So right now my wife is working for me.
She's helping me out, you've probably already seen her
if you're like... if you're an artist, for instance, you've probably already seen her face in an email.
And she's helping me with videos and you know all the extra things that I should not do
so I can concentrate more on making videos and content for you guys.
I don't like to have a lot of money just you know, sit here like 'All my money, oh my money...'
With all the money in the world and you know, it's not...
When I get a chance, I try to invest and that's what I'm doing here, I'm investing in my wife
so she can help me out, so I can put more content out there, so I can do more on YouTube and on social media
so I'm very proud about that, I'm very happy with this decision.
And maybe... maybe we can bring her in... Louise!
Come!
So, I just introduced you and... take a seat, take a seat, please, oh shit.
Take a sit, take a sit... That's how they say it in Japan.
So, this is my wife and her name is Louise and she's awesome
She's amazing and she currently helps me out with a bunch of shit.
Isn't she like the most beautiful female in the world?
- Okay, say 'Hi'. - Hi.
- How are you doing? - I'm good, good.
- What are you doing right now? - I'm checking my emails.
- Okay... - Yeah, from lots of artists.
Thank you.
So yeah, I'm very happy right now and you know, investing in the family is very important for me.
I like, you know, keeping the business small and you know, she's right here, which is perfect for me.
"Ola, I started rewatching Neon Genesis Evangelion, what do you like the most about the series?"
That it's dark as f***, that's what I like about it.
It's an amazing anime, if you haven't it out already, go check it our right now.
Look at my Eva figurines, can you see them?
They're up there, hi.
"Are there any plans for solar basses?"
Chris Cuthbertson.
"Hey Ola, do you ride motorcycles?"
I do not, but maybe in a couple of years when I'm in my midlife crisis, I will start riding motorcycles.
Maybe I am there already.
Probably next week.
"Ola Merchglund"
That's actually very very clever, I'm gonna use that from now on: Ola Merchglund the Swede.
"You pay for getting views? Is that really how marketing goes?
"We pay to view your stuff, that's how I see it."
No, he's talking about a question I answered in the latest FAQ
No, I do not pay to get views, but that's how companies do today, okay?
They pay money on Facebook to get their advertisement viewed, so you can just sit there and suck it up.
That's how it works. Yeah, in some way you're correct, you pay to watch me
because you're watching ads before my videos. So that's how it is, so you're perfectly correct, Jeff Vinter.
and I know you're in Switzerland, Jeff, hope everything is well down there. See you soon I hope.
Alright, so there you have it. That was FAQ number 57 for you.
I'm Ola Merchlund the Swede if you haven't already, go check out my merch, it's amazing somewhere...
And yeah, if you have any questions, I always forget about this...
If you have any questions, you post them in this latest FAQ video
otherwise I won't be able to see them.
So, next week there will be a special FAQ.
And after that I have no idea what happens, so we're just gonna see.
Thank you so much for watching guys, again, I love you, see you, bye.
