Man, I’m really impressed with that vocal audition. Ola has the nose enlargement technique down, used by all of today’s greatest singers. I guess more air intake more power, as per the demonstration. Applause!
"Stars & Ponies" is 4 years old but it still goes so hard. there's something about the main riff where you go into the inverted power chord... it still hits the exact same way when I first heard it.
I think it was Guitar World that did a long interview with Grady Champion years ago which was informative. I'm an absolute die hard fan of Pantera I saw them live at Brixton Academy London in the 90s and it's still the best gig I've ever been to . Love you Brothers ........
Thanks again, Ola. The intro music was an epic opener for the new year. We all hope you're well practiced for the tour. I do have a question- since you're going on a 'fancy' tour, do you miss playing in sweaty dive bars? Rock on!
How cool would it be to have John as your professor? He peels off a FEARED hoodie and has a MESHUGGAH t-shirt underneath. I would know I was at the right school!! 🤘🏻
I'm all about that Sleep Token, dog. Looking forward to the new album. Love how they piss off the metal gatekeepers. That's what rock n roll is for and just goes to show if you want to be successful in music, write music for men AND women.
Im old cuz it seems like recently Dime was taken from all of us. I can't believe it's been 20 years, I remember hearing cowboys for the first time. That was mind blowing.
With all due respect, no one is forgetting Dime's legacy any time soon. Try and track down some of his gear or signature models and you will quickly see that what is available has a heavy tax because they're so in demand (as you know). I think it's a travesty, because I want to run a Randall RG100HT, not because of Dime, but because I love solid state Randall amps and I can't find one for what I consider a reasonable price. The Washburn 2/3 ST was also one of the best guitars I have ever played, the mild V felt perfect, as a big guy I like the larger body and headstock and I love a short scale, but those are almost impossible to find, let alone at a good price. I doubt this would ever happen, but Rita has to have the rights to the stealth, it would be great to see Washburn or someone produce one, with the proper mild v neck.
awaiting The Halo effect -March of the unheard to be released , then seeing them live in London Saturday 25th Jan and then Ola live in London Sunday 26th Jan 🤘
Hard to believe you don’t have a permanent practice space . With guys like JP coming by id be like hey man want to jam I have this savory practice space right here .
Turning 17 today, this Swola just makes it that much better, happy new year!!!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!
Man, I’m really impressed with that vocal audition. Ola has the nose enlargement technique down, used by all of today’s greatest singers. I guess more air intake more power, as per the demonstration. Applause!
I AGREE WTF Lol
@ A new chapter indeed 😂
Haha wtf.
I can’t wait for the new Shadows Fall album 🤘🏻
Is Bitner playing drums?
@ yeah mate he just left Overkill to concentrate on Shadows Fall
Yeah the new single was awesome. Can’t wait for ATR too
@@Marko_74 he’s solid for sure
Also The Duskfall too
0:41 riff got me in the feels.
Happy New Year Ola!
I hope you and the bands have a great time touring together again soon!
5:42 this was the album that reallly REALLY got me into Nevermore! That whole album was epic, and brutal. Dane was bringing his A-game on it.
My favourite one of theirs too. I liked the Steve Smyth influence
Warrel didn't have a B-game.
Good luck on tour Ola! Safe travels!
Thanks Ola glad you are feeling better mate.
I look forward to your vlogs of the tour Ola. Have a great and safe time and keep rocking bro. Happy New Year!!
Good luck with tour!!
Dime tribute video dropping on my birthday?! Hell yeah 🥳 🔥
Happy birthday
Good luck with the tour.
Each of you guys are terrific.
"Stars & Ponies" is 4 years old but it still goes so hard. there's something about the main riff where you go into the inverted power chord... it still hits the exact same way when I first heard it.
Cool riff Ola, happy new year........
Speaking of Dimebag, you should have Kayla Kent on your show. She's a phenomenal player and Dimebag is her hero! Might make for a cool interview.
Kayla is cool as hell!
I think it was Guitar World that did a long interview with Grady Champion years ago which was informative.
I'm an absolute die hard fan of Pantera I saw them live at Brixton Academy London in the 90s and it's still the best gig I've ever been to .
Love you Brothers ........
Happy New Year Ola, looking forward to all the content this year and hopefully will catch you on the 25th!
Huge Ola fan from New York!
All best for the tour Ola! Missed my Chance for the Vienna show but am happy for you that it was the first sold out date 😊
Happy new year dear Ola. I hope this new year is going to be awesome for you and your family. Cheers.

Intro riff is a banger !! 🤘😖

Man my most anticipated albums for the year are from Coheed and Cambria and Volbeat!!! I’m so excited for that!
Very nice to see you play at Jon's school, very cool playing ❤
Jens Bogren….the be original BEAST of a mixing engineer. And the rehearsal sounded great.
RIP to Sean Blosl of Sanctuary. Both Nevermore and Sanctuary could use some good vibes right now.
Thanks again, Ola. The intro music was an epic opener for the new year. We all hope you're well practiced for the tour. I do have a question- since you're going on a 'fancy' tour, do you miss playing in sweaty dive bars?
Rock on!
FELIZ AÑO NUEVO OLA, todo el exito para ti junto a tu familia, son geniales tus videos.. un abrazo desde Chile.

I "am very excite" for the upcoming Volbeat album! (And all of the others mentioned as well!)
Got to buy a couple of those guitar world magazines in February hell yeah 👍
WIFFIN THE SILENCE! Great audition lol
Saria's Song on xylophone. Hell yeah Ola!
Well, seeing you singing Born.... There goes the respectful part of the reunion, I guess... :P
Totally looking forward to the new Lacuna Coil album, all the songs released so far have been great!
Ola is a riff master. Wish I could just spit this stuff out like that.
Goooood riffff man
Happy new year ! I'd love to see mixing with Jens.
OLA ENGLUND WE LOVE YOU GUY'S MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER GRANNY
Especially good tone for the intro riff this week - I'd love to know what you used!
1:19 Hilarious editing!
Beautiful harmonies on that intro solo!
The last tour you were on with The Haunted was in 2017 I think.
Sad I missed this week's premier, I'll make the next one!!!
Nevermore new singer right there
"The only news worth watching"
-Tha News With Ola
Looking forward to the new Def Lepard album 🫡
If Carlsberg did Sundays...nice to have you back and well Ola
Nice. Good start of NY! \m/
Much love from Florida
That shirt is truly spectacular
When Sega made it..
great work!
Adon Fanion (Ghostship Octavius) would be an awesome option for a vocalist for Nevermore.
Loving the new green cannibalismo Solar. Find myself badly, badly requiring one.
I have have the cannibalismo v . Awesome guitar
The Haunted new album is what we all need for this 2025
I would 100% go see Ola on a boat
I will be returning to doing riff challenges again in a few weeks time after my time out,I have missed doing swola's very much
Im old cuz it seems like recently Dime was taken from all of us. I can't believe it's been 20 years, I remember hearing cowboys for the first time. That was mind blowing.
Love the alein blood finish!! What about a unicorn blood (pink splatter) over black
Olas in hes got the job bro

There's drums.😊
@@TheMooseintree14 yes of course, but for the 221 ... but i use it last week :D oh ... i can use the 221 and make another song, but call it 222 😅🤘
The Heavy Metal Xylophone 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Jim Sheppard has now stated he wishes Jeff and Van "the best" dispite his dissapointment of not being contacted.
Drama over.
He seems to be trying not to burn the last bridge. Maybe he wants them to let him join later on…
Gott Nytt År!
I read when Van's wife died in 2020 that him and jeff bonded and stayed close which probably helped with a reunion down the road.
Album of 2025 for me will be LoKust 🤘🖤🤘
16:24 goosebumps
HA! is back!
I'm looking forward to the new Unmerciful album
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 nice guitar
Cool...just don't skip 333.🤘🤘🤘
Hopefully Testament will get their new album out this year! 🤘🏼
