Ola Englund ..ola get "vogg from DECAPITATED"! "Machine-Head"..for coffee!! vogg is the best metal riff guitar player today's time!! amazing talent!!😈😈😈🔥🔥
Thx Ola... I requested.this a few weeks ago and never heard from you... but, I guess you did.. This guy is a monstrous guitarist.. Thx. My G series with Evertune Solar is amazing and, Frederik should use it
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass. One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.
I actually get very confused as to who plays which solo at the end of Burden. I know Mikael is good, but there are some passages that I'm sure are Fred's but then the next solo is equally as complex and I wonder if that one was actually Fred.
32:50: This reaction is exactly why Fredrik is IMO one of the most interesting players of this generation. The guy has his Yngwie and Blackmore repertoire but mixes it up with really cool sounding fusion-y passages that don't disrupt the overall melodic direction of his solos.
This rules so hard. Thanks so much for posting. Agree about Åkesson being hugely underrated. Might be in the minority amongst the metal fans but I love the direction Opeth has taken since Heritage. Been a fan since My Arms Your Hearse but I love that they're doing what they love. ⚡
Absolutely loved this interview. Bringing Fredrik here was something huge. Loved to know that Ola was once a student of Fredrik. So Ola had to be a freaking good player. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just saw Opeth live a little more than a month ago. New songs were great live. Also, all the records at the show were signed by the band for normal price. Shows how much they appreciate their fans.
I’ve all the time in the world for Frederick. Not only is he a genuinely cool guy, but he’s an excellent and hugely underrated guitarist, which for me is really frustrating. Fred deserves much more credit than he gets. You rule Frederick!! Thanks for this Ola!🤘🏻😎💯
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool. I am happy they are not strictly METAL in the stereotypical sense, you know by the numbers, chug, chug, chug. I like every period of their career that I have heard so far.
@Dylan Powell I downloaded some EOS and Moontower back in the days of Napster. Liked it, but never dug further. Hypocrisy piqued my interest when they toured with Soilwork in 05. Tagtgren had a great song on Nuclear Blast All Stars and the fact that he's working with Lindemann shows he's a really creative, diverse dude. Gotta bump those guys to the top of my listening list.
@@Doomchild2XL All the funny noises that would have to be added in editing to bleep out the swear words. Probably the only person who swears more than Ozzy. :D
@@Doomchild2XL Did he quit? Good for him, I remember seeing a video of him working out and heavily drinking beer while doing so. That did not look healthy..
You definitely have one of the best shows in RUclips and ALL the internet, your guests feels authentics and comfortable talking with you they are just themselves and that's is very inspiring THANKS A LOT OLA!!!
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.
Thank you Ola for having Fredrick with you. He is so goddamn underrated. His name should be mentioned in any conversation involving the greatest metal guitarists currently.
Well, congratulations, you two Swedes speak better English than the majority of the UK. Actually, this is probably true of every Swede-from-a-metal-band I've heard in an interview.
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.
Discovering Opeth for the first time was one of my life's joys and highlights. I actually started listening when Heritage was released. Although I haven't really enjoyed Sorceress or ICV I still appreciate the talent that Fred possesses. Possibly one of my favourite guitarists. His bends and vibrato are out of this world.
Opeth is great and all,but I preferred Fredrik in Talisman,specially the synchronised guitar/bass riffing he did with Marcel Jacob. I know Marcel passed away,but I would love to see Fredrik and Jeff Scott Soto reviving Talisman for another studio album.
I wish it was at least an hour long! Frederik just got into the groove! Please, Ola, this is a great series, but make it longer :-) (that's what she said as well)
Whoa!!! Such an insanely gifted musician, the guy is dangerous!! Insane phrasing, full of feel and personality!! You can spot right from the start that this is a very talented musician that has also worked and practiced very hard! Such fine quality in his playing!!
I met Fredrik at a meet and greet right after the release of watershed, when he had quit Arch Enemy and joined Opeth and Itold him: I knew you'd be a great addition to Opeth since I saw you play with Arch Enemy and you were great. (not knowing what a guitar legend he already was) His genuine reply was: Oh thank you, that means a lot to me! What a class act!
Heyyyyy... I just made coffee! Perfect time for this upload. Get my morning coffee and morning practice session in. Then listen to master of the universe while I shower for the day. Excellent timing.
@@Meshuggapeth thank you for posting Secrets of the Unkown by Fredrik Thordendal! I ve been trying to transcribe it cause i just cant find tabs anywhere on the internet. I love Fredrik thordendal's stuff and it would be great to see him on coffee with ola.
Frederick is the man. Brilliant guitar player. His solo on lovelorn crime on the new opeth record is one of my favorite solos ever. Shot straight up towards the top when I heard it. I’d like to hear him write some of his own songs after playing with akerfeldt. Best coffee with episode yet.
Fredrik is an amzing replacement for Peter. Both are amazing, but since the new Opeth are going into a new direction I think Fredrik's solos for example are more memorable. Of all the recording members there have been over the years Opeth never really had anyone bad in there. Many different styles coming together. Just perfect.
OMG, coffee with Fredrik. Amaaaazing. Thanks, and yes, he's an amazing but underrated guitarist and musician. You kind of have to be an amazing and talented musician to play in Opeth. ;)
Awesome coffee chat with Fredrik! This guy has had his hands in soooo many cookie-jars, and kicked ass in all of them. Way underrated guy who has carried so many bands it's ridiculous! Hey Fredrik after all those kind words, do I get a cookie now? :D
I'm going to see Fredrik and the rest of the Opeth crew on Tuesday in London! It's so awesome to watch this interview just before the gig! Thanks for making this happen!
Yes, I've been waiting for this!! Btw you should ask Teemu Mäntysaari of Wintersun to your show, he's probably the best contemporary metal guitarist in Finland.
Posted at 13:37 LEEEEEEEEEEEET TIME!

OMG Yes plz love Gojira almost as much as I love Opeth lol
Fredrik is such an underrated guitarist. He shows his chops in his solos, doesn't go over the top nuts but shit what a phenomenal guitarist!
1:18 he has his guitar pick ready in his pocket, waiting for a random guitar to be handed over to him 🙂
Loved it.
you're not a real guitarist if you don't have one. :D
That’s pretty common in guitar players
I have one in my phone case at all times. You never know man
jeez, a newbie
This is the talk show metal heads need! Netflix needs to pick this up and make it a series.🤘
It would get views! Especially with the metal community and introducing people to the metal culture. Do it!
Netflix would ruin it
but then it wouldn't be this free anymore, be it for the topic, or the way it is presented. it'll be driven solely what the audience would want. no more freedom for Ola, I guess?
But it's right here.. on RUclips...
Netflix would cast a black Ola
Fredrik seems like a genuinely nice guy. He definitely has a different and pure energy to him.
He's really laid back and easy to talk to. I had the honor of chatting with him at a record store signing while the rest of the band rummaged through LPs.
We just need the prog father, akerfeldt himself.
And Dan Swano!
Both ♥️
Godfather Åkerfeldt
Prog son?
Prog father is john petrucci budy
Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass.
One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.
I actually get very confused as to who plays which solo at the end of Burden. I know Mikael is good, but there are some passages that I'm sure are Fred's but then the next solo is equally as complex and I wonder if that one was actually Fred.
Definitely!
32:50:
This reaction is exactly why Fredrik is IMO one of the most interesting players of this generation. The guy has his Yngwie and Blackmore repertoire but mixes it up with really cool sounding fusion-y passages that don't disrupt the overall melodic direction of his solos.
Watershed is my favorite opeth album and this dude ripped some of the most beautiful melodic solos of all time on there.
The future is now; two Swedes talking to each other in English
The future is Olapeth
@@bradleyrayson2955 Oh please
Framtiden är nu, böjs
English is a second language in Sweden.
@@temporarymomentary no its not
This rules so hard. Thanks so much for posting. Agree about Åkesson being hugely underrated. Might be in the minority amongst the metal fans but I love the direction Opeth has taken since Heritage. Been a fan since My Arms Your Hearse but I love that they're doing what they love. ⚡
By far this is the best interview because of the mini lesson
Coffee with Ihsahn!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A thousand billion times yes.
Fredrik Åkesson is one of the best guitarists I've had the pleasure of seeing live.
I like when you get your guests to play some in the segments, big improvement!
The organ music in the background is hilarious.
Ola complimenting Fredick on his fluidity and vibrato when he himself, has amazing fluidity and vibrato.
@Sam Gowman 😉
hard to do. i sound very choppy
That is called “ Respect and admiration” among musicians.
Absolutely loved this interview. Bringing Fredrik here was something huge.
Loved to know that Ola was once a student of Fredrik. So Ola had to be a freaking good player.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just saw Opeth live a little more than a month ago. New songs were great live. Also, all the records at the show were signed by the band for normal price. Shows how much they appreciate their fans.
Fredrik is the type of player I could watch jamming alone for hours without getting tired of it
Me too!!!
2:14 Fredrik slips the pick Ola had given him into his pocket.
A very guitarist thing to do 😂
It was his own pick, you can see him digging it out from his pocket at @1:17
So grateful for this interview. Akesson is possibly my favorite metal guitar player of all time. Really humble musician too
coffee with mikael akerfeldt
Dude i wish
@@severusblack9462 Hey
It finally happened, mate!
meeting fredrik at carolina rebellion was the highlight of my life,
i love his playing

How do you measure credit? A guitarist will never be bigger or more famous than the band. Very rarely, anyway.
It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool. I am happy they are not strictly METAL in the stereotypical sense, you know by the numbers, chug, chug, chug. I like every period of their career that I have heard so far.
Frederick 😄
Hey what about coffee with Peter Tägtgren or Dan Swanö?
Seconded !
Definitely need coffee with Peter Tägtgren
I know very little about these 2 dudes, but the little I've heard from them has really impressed me
@Dylan Powell I downloaded some EOS and Moontower back in the days of Napster. Liked it, but never dug further. Hypocrisy piqued my interest when they toured with Soilwork in 05.

@Dylan Powell Thanks a bunch for those recommendations, bud! will do.
So it took a vintage Strat to win Fredrik over for having a coffee... 😂
Now Ola has to open a vinyl records shop in his apartment to get Mikael to stop by.
Got a free guitar lesson out of it too! :D
"Couple of beers with Ola" - Zack Wylde
Zakk's all about that coffee though. He quit drinking a long time ago.

Fredrik's a beast.
Superbly underrated and such a cool dude
Dude is super understated but a major talent..!!!! Such a good combination
I love his guitar playing technique, so fluid.
One of my favorite soloist. I love his creative approach and he’s the perfect balance of flash and voice. Just like Mikals vocals.
Fredrik's chops are off the charts brilliant.
Didn't expect that, wacthed the video immediately, totally worth it.
Inspiring. What a great guitar player Fredrik is.
Fredrik: *says something*
Ola: yeah
I saw him during an Arch Enemy tour. One of the best live solo I heard.
Yes!!! Such an underrated player. Incredible tasty solos and riffs.
Talisman stuff was really top notch. Such an underrated band.
I could never do this I am intimidated by big celebrities I would probably have a nervous breakdown. What a legend. Even I am getting old. Watershed solos are not of this planet.
Frederik is an amazing cat in both music and being a great human! Love this cat!
Thank you Ola for having Fredrick with you. He is so goddamn underrated. His name should be mentioned in any conversation involving the greatest metal guitarists currently.
hello from Canada Ola!!! why are Swedes so great at metal???? So many awesome Swedish metal bands for such a small country.....
Damn I had no idea that Fredrik was with Arch Enemy!

Petter Eriksson so glad he left, for Opeth’s sake
Good to manny that they can speak in English, good intervju. Men fan det känns konstigt med twa svenskar som pratar engelska med varandra.
I saw him play with them here in Canada. Very cool.
The dude doing this interview is a real one for asking Fredrik to show off some riffs. That information is more valuable than gold!
I remember meeting Fredrik for an instore signing with Arch Enemy. I was amazing getting to meet him.
Well, congratulations, you two Swedes speak better English than the majority of the UK. Actually, this is probably true of every Swede-from-a-metal-band I've heard in an interview.
Ola, I can't thank you enough for recommending Opeth and Blackwater Park last year and now you drop this, just amazing!
If you haven’t already, you should check out their album Still Life. The second track “Godhead’s Lament“ is a masterpiece.
@@gaukarmadhouse I did listen to everything and my favourite from Still Life is Face of Melinda.
@@gaukarmadhouse That's another masterpiece of an album from them. I feel like it transports you back to the Middle Ages. My personal favorite track is Serenity Painted Death but there's not a single bad one.

Yes! This!
Yes !!
Or Jonas (a secretly great player as well)!
Hell yea, and Dan Swanö
This guy is a guitar savant for real. I have the utmost respect for him and all of the members of Opeth.
What a great guy! So respectful of Ola's time and him having kids. Pure class gentlemen metalhead.
Nice to finally here Fredrik speak.
He's an amazing player.
Could listen to him soloing for days.
Jag är 56 år! 2021 är första gången som jag hör opeth ,Snacka om okommersiellt band.Att lyssna på opeths låtar är en rikrig resa🤘 En grym grupp .
AWESOME
I love Opeth and Fredrik is such a good guitarist
He's showing him licks at the end. I'm dying! So jealous.
I met Fredrik at a meet and greet right after the release of watershed, when he had quit Arch Enemy and joined Opeth and Itold him:

I love this video so much! Watched it many times…. And the reason I tracked down a Fredrik PRS SE. WHEN IS THE COFFEE WITH Mikael???
Coffee with Jari, Teemu or Asim (from Wintersun) would be awesome!
This is my favorite RUclips channel especially because of interviews like this.
Finnish coffee with Ola - Jari Maënpää
Florian Salinas oh yes
As much as I think Wintersun are awful now, I'd still like to see that. The first Wintersun album is still a classic.
Finnish coffee is terrible though
You know when a guitarist is in love with guitars... *reaches into his pocket for a pick* Always prepared!🤘🏻😎💯
Thank you Ola! It's funny you released the video today, in exactly one week I'll see Opeth live in Dublin, Ireland! Can't wait!

Excellent video! Fredrik makes that stuff look so easy. Wow.
Two words - “Lovelorn Crime” 👏👏👏
What an absolutely excellent interview. I can't get enough of this!
This was amazing! Thank you Ola, thank you Frederik.
Awesome. So much respect for Fredrik. Really cool that you could have him on.
Appreciate Frederick’s playing and influence on Opeth’s jazzier output as of late.
Awesome coffee chat with Fredrik! This guy has had his hands in soooo many cookie-jars, and kicked ass in all of them. Way underrated guy who has carried so many bands it's ridiculous! Hey Fredrik after all those kind words, do I get a cookie now? :D
Not only incredible player but also great teacher ! I watch this interview third time...
This dude has so many tasty solos in Opeth.
Currently learning the first solo in "Dignity" , which has a completely different flavor each bar.
I wish Fredrik had his own channel teaching badass licks. He has so many good ones.
He needs to teach me his vibrato haha. Also those solos on the "making of sorceress" video where suuuuper tasty
That new album is so freaking bad ass!
That awkward clap at the beginning though lol
Awesome player and super nice guy. I met him after a gig once and he was so chill and friendly
Love his stuff with Talisman.
Get bigger memory cards, I could have happily sat through plenty more! Great episode, Fredrik is ridiculously good!
I'm going to see Fredrik and the rest of the Opeth crew on Tuesday in London! It's so awesome to watch this interview just before the gig! Thanks for making this happen!
Yes, I've been waiting for this!! Btw you should ask Teemu Mäntysaari of Wintersun to your show, he's probably the best contemporary metal guitarist in Finland.
This guy is a living legend tbh. Amazing skills, amazing taste.
Just saw Opeth in Perth, Aus last night. It's crazy to see in person just how amazing he is
I agree with you, this guy is so underrated. Now i know his influences and everything got sense. Great interview by the Way!
I had the pleasure of seeing Opeth in 2009, beyond impressive.
