Welcome to FAQ number 69, this is a gift I got from my brother
I have the best brother, he bought me this Imperial bathrobe
and it's extremely...
...static.
look my hair
Yeah, I just wanted to show you that, I hope you had a good Christmas
hope you got good and awesome presents from your loved ones
So, what's up everyone? Nice to see you guys again.
Boy, wow, what an amazing week it has been.
Not really but it's been Christmas week
and today I'm working actually so it's, you know, it's...
I've been looking forward to get back to filming because I was in Indonesia, then I got back home
and I just haven't filmed in a while so... I haven't even play guitar in a while.
So I've been playing guitar, making some movies today, it's been awesome
and I'm about to wrap this day up...
...by recording an FAQ, amazing, looking forward to it.
So it's Sund- Sa- Saturnday...
It's Sunday the 30th and this is actually a very special day for me
Sunday the 30th of December is my daughter's birthday, happy birthday little Malin, I love you.
She's turning 4 years
If you've been following me you might know that when my daughter was born...
Long story short I almost lost both my wife and my daughter at the same time today 4 years ago.
And this day four years ago was a very life-changing day for me.
it changed me in a way that I'm very happy about today, because...
Even though I had kind of like a 'Fuck it' approach before...
After that, after that day, in those couple of hours where I didn't know if I...
You know, if I lost my wife or not and I was sitting holding my baby...
You know, I had to sit and watch doctors resuscitate my baby in front of my eyes.
And I was just, you know, I was just crying all over the place
and I did not know what was happening for, you know, 15 or 30 minutes.
At that moment obviously everything turned out well at the end
thank God or thank Satan or whatever you believe in.
You know, after that I just care less, you know, about things
I just stopped giving a shit about what people thought about me, what I was doing and you know...
My guitar playing, my whatever, you know and it's...
And truth be told, this whole event, with all this happening, has made me a better person
and at least I think so, I don't know, maybe you can tell me in the comments
am I a better person than I was 4 years ago? I don't know.
You know, I just don't give a shit anymore and I think that has led me to open up a lot more
and open up more on camera, which has also been some sort of a...
You know, some sort of therapy for me, you know, talking like this to you guys.
You know, I just don't give a shit anymore.
Except for the things that actually matter in life like my family and that's you guys, by the way.
My second family, which is my wife and my kids, you know, just me doing stuff that I enjoy.
And that is b- f*ck you, I'm trying to make a speech here and...
Oh, hi.
F*ck you, no, very positive Ola.
No, I'm just trying to, you know, to make a point here that...
This day was very very special for me.
Oh, Ola talking way too much, 7 minutes, I have to cut that down so it's like 2 minutes.
Sorry, maybe I should start with the questions, because this is an FAQ after all.
"Hi Ola, why your T sounds like F whenever you speak a word?"
From Romel Sniper.
Okay, my T does not sound like F.
The problem for Swedes is when it's a TH in English
for instance like 'Three', like the number 3.
I have an immense problem to say that word, you know why?
because when I was a kid, that Lisp that you do where you put the tongue against your teeth
or outside your teeth, it's something that you're not supposed to do in Swedish
and I had a problem with that so I had to go to, you know, an...
What do you call it?
You call it 'Logoped' in Swedish.
So I had to constantly work to not Lisp when I say S or T, or stuff like that so...
And then, out of a sudden English comes out and you have to lisp on certain things
like Thordendal or three or whatever.
And it's like, okay, so everything I've been taught when I was young, like f*ck off...
... if I want to try to speak English, so there you go, that's why my 'Three' sounds like 'Free'.
That's that's what it is it's just something that I have a hard time doing
and a lot of Swedes have this problem, so it's not just me.
Chunky: "Ola, next FAQ is number 69."
Yes, this is FAQ number 69 and everyone is just thinking like
'Oh, it's gonna be a dirty ass FAQ, Ola's gonna show his penis or his balls or ass or something like that'
'or crotch cam, like it's gonna be dirty because FAQ, you know, you stick dicks in your mouth and...'
'you know, pussies in your ass' and whatever you kids do these days, but no.
It's my daughter's birthday, pay some respect, okay?
"Hi Ola, I have a question for your next FAQ: how are you? How's your life doing?
"I feel like a lot of people don't ask about you
"Hope everything is well, happy holidays, keep up the awesome work" -haz eye
Thank you so much however there was a question exactly like this...
Two or three... 'Three' FAQs ago, okay? So, I'm fine by the way, don't worry about me.
Chunky, oh again, a double question.
"Ola, I really want to see you in Australia (Brisbane specifically)
"but your shows are 18-plus, are you planning..." Aw, sad face, aw.
"Are you planning on doing any clinics down here or all-ages shows etc?"
To be honest, I had no idea this was a thing, this is probably something that the venues decide
and not that we decide and I think it sucks, but...
I know, like in Sweden if there's a +18 show or you know, adult show or something like that...
it's okay to go to the show if you're with an adult that can take care of you.
So, I don't know if that's the thing in Australia.
I would love to do some clinics down there, I'm just not sure about my schedule down there.
So we'll just have to see, see you down there, buddy, maybe
maybe not, we'll see, sorry it's not my fault, I'm just blaming the venues
Kevin Berstler: "Hola amigo, I recently preordered the guitarist bundle for your solo album in 2019.
"Thank you for your work and that offer, a question I have for you is:"
Upside quesiton mark.
"Do you have any practical advice for Americans who move to Sweden?"
When you move here just remember that we're a socialist country
and we're totally f***ed up, there's no future here and you know, it's not a working society.
It is a working society, I welcome you here, please come here, move to Sweden.
Just be a little open-minded about that we might be a tad bit more sarcastic or ironic than you guys.
Re Ji: "Merry Christmas to you and your family"
Oh, thank you so much.
"On one of your videos I saw that you were listening to Silverchair
"What album do you like the most? Salamat Ola"
Okay, so yeah I've listened a fair bit to Silverchair back in the day
and I think my favorite album is actually Young Modern, which is like their last album
and it's so so much different from the other albums, so...
Yeah, go check it out, it's a great album. Silverchair.
Arizona Heat: "Which would be the best Dimebag guitar brand to get, a Dean or a Washburn?"
I know a lot of people are like
'He was always with Dean and Dean went under and he went with Washburn, then he went back to Dean...'
but Dimebag was playing Washburn and he was super happy about Washburn, so...
He played both and he went back to Dean and then he passed away
Well, there you go I think that the Washburn guitars that I have are excellent guitars
I love them to death, my Dimebag 3ST right over there
and I have my Dean, Dean from hell that I bought, it's over there, they're...
I wouldn't say equally good, but they're good in different ways, they have Mojo, both of them.
So just get whatever you want
I just think that Dean sometimes have just done a little too many weird finishes
and a little tacky finishes for Dimebag's guitars during the past years
which I haven't agreed with, you know I thought they were a little tacky
but then again, they're still a cool brand and they the US custom shops makes sick guitars, so there is that.
So I didn't help out at all, thank you.
TheOtherGenesis: "Hi Ola, will y-"
"Will your coming solo album be isntrumental?"
Yes, it will be instrumental.
Yeah so basically the solo album is a solo album, it's not filled of wankery, it's basically just chill music
that I think you guys will enjoy, but then again I have no idea.
But I think I think you will enjoy it you can pre-order it here
and it'll be out soon, I'm almost done.
Metalhead hippy: "I'm turd or as Ola would say: furd."
No, I told you, I can say 'turd', okay? It's 'third' that's a problem, if you would be a 'third', okay?
OA B: "Broski, brah, bro, brola, my dude, is it me or have you never put out the song '53'?"
Fift-THree, look at that.
"I bought the 5150 III in 2010 after hearing you play '53' on that amp.
"I need the song man, like real bad, it's like nostalgia and drugs combined
"Oh shit, 2010, it's soon to be my ten-year anniversary as a subscriber
"You were actually the first channel I ever subscribed to, keep it up, my Scandinavian neighbor."
Oh that's, awesome, amazing, I think that...
If you wonder why he's referring to a number that is 53
that's because back in the day I basically just named all my ideas and song ideas into numbers, like you know...
53 was basically like the 53rd Feared song I wrote
and I think actually made it into a song, let me see.
It's on Furor I think.
Yeah, I think it's in here, it's called... something. What is it? Impending Doom?
No...
Warbound, it's called Warbound now, so just go check it out, okay?
Okay great, it's called Warbound, it's on Furor Incarnatus, okay, great.
UrinationNation: "I did not find you through your music and it took me a while to realize that you were in bands.
"Now I'm a little scared, because I like you, but I haven't heard either of your bands.
"Can you recommend a song from each of your projects that I should check out?
"Also, your struggle to stay positive is very relatable."
People and their understanding, I love you guys.
Okay so, I'm in two bands right now: Feared and The Haunted that are kind of like half active
I don't know, if you want to hear a song with feared maybe you should check out Your Black Is My White
...and my wife. Your black is my wife.
Your Black Is My White, it's from the latest Feared album Svart.
And with The Haunted maybe you should check out Spark
from the latest The Haunted album Strength In Numbers, there you go.
Zero Stoneman: "Ola, how do you feel about YouTube covers where the guitarist has an expensive guitar
"but plays a simple version of the song they are covering
"like single notes during the chords or diads when full chords are to be played
"1000 dollar plus guitar with 5 bucks of talent?"
I mean, who gives a shit really?
You're basically talking about me right now, this is me
Like, 1000 dollar plus guitar with 5 bucks of talent.
You're talking about me, are you trying to start a fight or something? It's like...
I mean, people are allowed to do whatever they want.
Kudos to them, that's a part of the, you know, evolving as a guitar player or YouTuber or whatever
Just loosen up a little bit, let people do their thing and you'll be a lot happier, I promise.
New Year's resolution maybe, for you.
Andrew Hill
Oh, subscriber... Oh, my dick.
Scratch-dick, scratch, scratch that dick.
Andrew Hill: "Hey Ola, love the vids, please tell me what are your goals for 2019?
"And how are you gonna make sure you achieve them?"
Tuh... Ta muchly...
Okay...
Like I said before, I don't really have that many goals
I think what I'm doing now is basically just trying to make this YouTube channel as big as I can
just keep on going, keep on doing the same thing, because I love doing this.
I obviously have my solo album coming in 2019
and then I'm gonna try and start working for a new The Haunted album
and I always have my fingers into something new and, you know, exciting, so...
and I'm not that much into discussing, you know, future plans in that sense, I'd rather-
Minus one...
No, I'd just rather announce when it's ready, you know?
And obviously Solar Guitars, I have a lot of things planned, it's gonna be amazing, thank you.
Disconnectedexitsign...
Uh... what? Disconnectedexitsign... Oh, okay.
People and their YouTube names, I wonder...
"Hej Ola, you really need to check out Power Trip on the next FAQ
"Executioner's Tax is the name of the song and you won't be disappointed."
Okay, I'm gonna do this, I think someone has mentioned Power Trip for me before, so I will check it out.
Yeah, it's good... can I have some vocals please?
Yeah, I guess it's cool, sounds like old school...
I'll check it out, thanks for the tip, buddy.
"Hi Ola, have you rather that I buy a Solar from your website or from Thomann?"
Obviously when you buy from the website I'm earning more money
because Thomann obviously needs a cut as well.
So there you go, if you want to support me more, you can buy from our website
but obviously I mean Thomann is great as well and I mean I like that they have the guitars available
and you can actually go test them at their shop and all, so that's what's important with them.
I mean there's some value in them having the guitars as well and I like Thomann, so there you go.
Captainaa: "Can riff of the day be bass riff for the day?"
Absolutely not.
Lorant Sirgher: "Ola, what is your best Riff ever wrote?" Okay.
You know, it's hard for me to pick the best riff I've ever written
but I think one of the like first real blockbuster riff that I made
was the riff for Lord's Resistance Army, which goes like, you know...
Hey Malin.
Technical difficulties, let's just continue.
Uh... right.
Brotherhood of Steel: "Is Sweden the most boring country in the world?"
If you with 'boring' mean most socialist country in the world...
Then yes.
azrul666: "Hey Ola, NAMM is just around the corner, any sneak peek preview of the Solar lineup for 2019?"
Okay, okay, okay I'm not supposed to show this.
This came... I took this with me from Indonesia and ffff...
Fuck me in the face this is an amazing guitar right here.
And I'm just super proud and I cannot wait to show you this guitar.
Obviously it's black, but...
You're not seeing the whole picture right there, but that's a good enough teaser for you right there.
That makes me so happy, this guitar... oh...
It's one of those Ola Englund moments.
♫ My Little Pony My Little Pony ♫
Huh, you liked that, didn't you?
"Hello Ola, just wonder about all those Solar you have in the background (and the ones you use)
"Do you pay for them or do you pick them for free?"
if you're talking about these, you know technically...
I pay for every Solar guitar, even the ones that you're buying I'm paying for
because I have to pay to make them, so...
Obviously I did not pay full price to get these, these are...
I would say promotional items.
I mean, I used them in the videos, I showcased them and...
I did not go to the website and ordered them, you know?
I mean I guess that's one of the perks of being the president of Solar Guitars
I get to actually play my own guitars
without having to buy them all, so there you go, that was a good question
Okay, Swedish word of the day, had a long video where I was basically just swearing
because I was fucking up a video of mine
and there were some people that were asking what 'Kuksugare' means.
And... so that's the Swedish word of the day: Kuksugare.
It's 'cocksucker'.
I mean, it's almost basically the same word.
So there you go, a quick little Swedish word of the day for you and riff of the day.
it'll be that riff that I showed you there, maybe I already did it.
Let's just do it again, because I'm just trying to wrap shit up here, so I can spend more time with my family.
So, it goes like this:
You need to drop tune the guitar and then it's...
Good burp there Ola, that was strong, that was a strong burp, I liked that.
So there you go, you got the Swedish word of the day, the Swedish riff of the day...
That was actually a Swedish riff of the day, but yeah, there you go.
Yeah, that was the last question and guys...
I just want to wrap this year up a little bit, because it has been a really amazing year for me.
I mean, since January February this year I've been growing my channel maybe 150,000 subscribers
which is like... I've never grown this quick.
So I know there's a lot of new people out there
I know you old guys are still there, I know I lost a lot of subscribers
but I've also gained so many new subscribers...
You know, with everything I've been doing
you know, I've been upping the content, I've been doing like three videos a week
Not 'free', three videos a week or four even...
And you know, I've just been upping my content
and I just have to say thank you so much, I mean it's not just me it's also about you guys I
I read almost all the comments and you know...
I would say 99% of them are super positive, awesome and funny as well
You know, it seems that I have a really smart following, and I really appreciate that
that's... it's awesome so I just want to say happy new year
You know, go spend some time with the people that you love
and if you don't have any people that you love, if you don't have a spouse or whatever to spend your time with
remember we're family you and I.
So don't you forget that, okay?
Okay? You can always comment on my video. I'll see you, okay?
Great, awesome guys, happy New Year, see you next year it's gonna be an awesome year, I know it.
It's gonna be my year next year and yours, okay? Good.
Plus one.
