    I absolutely love when guitar players can’t play their songs without having practiced it recently. It means they are writing things that challenge them and stretch their talent - and not just being lazy. It also proves that they are in fact human and not a robot.

      It would be cool, but Johannes has expressed his thoughts on popular bands doing cover songs. He understands why small bands do it to start somewhere, but thinks after a while it lacks creativity when bands keep doing it, like Five Finger Death Punch.

I'm only 4 mins into the video and I got to witness him playing Iron Maiden and the Beatles like.. is this real life? I've seen Avatar at Download 2023 and they are by far my favourite band but Jonas Jarlsby has an extra special place in my heart and if I ever get the honour to see them live again or even better to meet them I'd respectfully cut my still beating heart out of my chest for him with zero hesitation
