Bolt Thrower as a gateway band for Pantera is one of the weirdest ideas I’ve heard in a while. 🤣
Why? There is place in the universe for all.
Oddly enough, Iced Earth was a gateway band for me to Opeth. I read an article once and I think it was with Jon, and he mentioned something about Opeth. So I checked it out, and it changed my perception of music forever.
I was Metallica to megadeth to carcass to early meshuggah to allan holdsworth.
Tiny Tim turned me on to GG Allin
OSDM bands like Death, Morbid Angel and Obituary were my gateway bands for Metallica and 80s Thrash in general, basically the same idea.
Still haven't gotten into Pantera after listening to Metal for 15 years though^^
Death’s ‘symbolic’ literally the perfect album.
I prefer The Sound of Perseverance but I do agree.
i prefere human and itp but symbolic is cool
Paul Matthews Every Death album is perfect.
Paul Matthews every Death song and album is perfect
yep! I always thought that Symbolic is perfect in the same way that the Parthenon is perfect!!
Ola I’m 61 years young and while I grew up on Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, The Who , and yes KISS , I have always had an ear open . During the 80s it was hard core punk like X , The Dead Kennedy’s , the Dickies , and Sex Pistols. The 90s brought Pantera , Slayer , Tool and Rob Zombie. 2000s was Petrucci and this Swede named Englund . Ola I love my copy of Master of the Universe and I am about to order a Solar V , when I can get a red one with a Floyd Rose on it , a little help here buddy. I’m a guitar tech and I am looking forward to getting my hands on a Solar guitar
Gonzo the Guitar Guy ok boomer
Ughh, the Boomer meme is so cringey. I bet ol Gonzo shreds harder and has slayed more poon than your young feeble mind can comprehend... Cheers to you Mr Gonz for still rocking and if these young bucks would stop talking and start listening I'm sure they could learn a thing or two from those who came before them.
@@Starch1b2c3d4a wrong use of the meme
Elmo B has a right to his opinion. I have had a very fortunate life , raised by a Korean War Marine and an elementary teacher who taught me that you have to work and earn EVERYTHING THAT IS WORTH WHILE. I have 40 years working at the same General Motors plant . I have attended the Recording Workshop in Chillicothe Ohio for recording engineering. I have roadied for various bands locally and a few national acts . Been playing guitars since I sold my drum set in the late seventies to buy a Fender Dual Showman and a Heil 4-12 top box to go with my Ampeg Heavy Stud Tele copy. I took Will Gelvin’s guitar building course and started a repair shop in 2016 and Gonzo’s Guitar Garage is doing well as a startup business. When I retire from the auto industry in 3-4 years after my two youngest graduate from Michigan State University and Kendall College of Art & Design , I will be in my guitar shop full time. Maybe by then the OPS guitar that I ordered and paid for in January of 2016 will finally be done and delivered from the afore mentioned Will Gelvin, though I am beginning to have my doubts, but being a BOOMER , I am ever the optimist.
Gonzo the Guitar Guy Im just playing, man. Keep rocking those AC/DC riffs all day 😈🤘
For me, Alice in chains changed my life. Cantrell's playing is what inspired me to pick up guitar.
The bands that changed my world.
6-years old: Kiss, Motley Crue
13-year old: Metallica
15-year old: Paradise Lost, Pantera
16-year old: Cynic, At the gates
19-year old: Emperor, Dissection
32-year old: Pink Floyd
Those are the bands that I can look back on and remembering something changing inside me.
Dissection /m/,
Fun thing I'm 12 and I had this cycle for the last year
Oh dear god i hope this doesnt mean im going to start liking pink floyd in my 30s hahaha! 25 now
Isnt it weird how when we get older we realize the pure genius of Pink Floyd?
Floyd were good up to Animals. Beyond that heavy handed bombastic theatrics and pretty conventional electric blues to make money, with superficial political posturing (thinking of the Wall here). If you listen to Atom Heart Mother you can hear the beginnings of all of their strong stylistic musical forms for years after that. Disappointing how commercial they became.
Aces high, Iron Maiden is the song/video that changed my life. Hands down everything before and after that musically changed.
james roberts “Run To The Hills”’ blew my mind when I first heard it. Mtv had it on heavy rotation at the time, and I had never heard anything heavier than old Whitesnake up until then. Iron Maiden is still one of my favorite bands.
Chord TheSeeker same, prior to this it was Motley Crüe, Poison stuff my brothers were listening to. We didn’t have cable tv at the time, I watched MTV at my buddies place and saw the Aces High video and that was it. Literally the moment I found true heavy music. Grade 4 lunch times we were allowed to bring in music to listen to, everyone else thought AC/DC was as crazy at it got until I put on Master of Puppets. Think that lasted a minute before they made me stop the tape! Good memories though
lmao aces high is my life changing song too
Metallica was my gateway for heavy metal and also the reason I started playing guitar.
Leenuws me too 🙋🏻♂️
@@gibsonmesa00 me too
Its both of us
Me too. Still my favorites lol.
same
This video is old but I just bumped into it and watched it for the first time. I learned about some new to me albums that I’m going to have to check out, which I desperately needed that since I’ve been playing the same ones over and over. Mostly Pantera, Gojira and 90s Korn.
Thanks Ola!
i'm surprised Carcass didnt find their way in there
I agree. And how is it possible a swede who lives metal, were into punk as a kid fails to mention Discharge? Some might argue it´s one of the corner stones on which Swedish Death Metal is built and grows on. One does not have to scratch much Left Hand Path to find solid d-beat, Discharge hence the name, within.
i thought the same thing,whats the 90s without heartwork
hell yeah! symphonies of sickness and necroticism were the two standout albums of their time
or Arch Enemy...
@@momouk my version of this video/list would probably include everything Michael Amott has ever done. Carcass, Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars (my personal favorite), etc.
everything changed when i heard the intro to blackened of and justice.........mind blown!!!!!!
Awesome video Ola! I am about the same age and bought my first guitar last month. It's nice to see how your influences shaped you as a player. Thanks for giving us struggling old guy beginners hope!
It would be really cool to see footage of you skating,i’m interested!
You nailed that "three three three", good work
So awesome seeing Ola throwing out the love for Testaments "the gathering" and Cryptopsy "none so vile", both are brutal amazing albums and under rated.
Yo Ola!! I really been digging your videos since i discovered them!! Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith & Queensryche (1st concert) got me into music. It was Metallica, Testament, Slayer and Black Label Society that changed everything for me. I think Testament is one of the most underrated thrash metal bands out there. Black Album, Low, Demonic, The Gathering, Sonic Brew & Seasons In the Abyss were the Albums. The Gathering being my favorite. \m/
Around 13 years old Goldfinger is the band that got me into guitar. Around 15 is when I finally listenened to Master of Puppets and that album redefined how I approached guitar. I'm not big on either bands current offerings, but I'm forever indebted to how they got me into guitar almost 20 years ago. Keep on being awesome and making great videos, Ola!
My parents listened to alot of hard rock when i was young like Rammstein, metallica. So i was pretty much into metal since i was young but there is a band that changed everything for me when i was 18 years old, It was Autopsy's first album Severed survival. its such a good album that it converted me to a die hard death metal fan. Every singel album they have made is amazing and their EP: Fiend for blood, Is my favourite EP of all time next to Sodom's In the sign of evil.
triledink good taste man!!!
At first i thought you had said KISS when you were referring to Kyuss lol. Love both bands
Nice vid man,interesting.its always nice to see where other musicians get their inspiration.
My gateway album was Triumph of Steel by Manowar, but my all time favorite band now is Bal-Sagoth. Awesome video Ola! We love this kind of stuff.
Paradise Lost.
Pantera was what made me pick up the guitar, specifically dimebag darrell.
R.I.P Dimebag and vinnie
First I wanna say great vids Ola, keep it up dude. Pantera is and always will be my favorite band. I still remember buying Cowboys From Hell cassette tape after seeing the cemetery gates video on Headbangers Ball. I was 13 years old and my first metal show was Clash of the Titans in 1991. After that I was hooked on going to concerts. I was lucky enough to see Pantera 15 times. My top 3 favorite bands... Pantera, Slayer and Type O Negative. I love me some metal!
Thank you so much fort the Playlist ! Great video btw
Twisted Sister changed my life twice. First at 14 for the reasons you'd assume, then at 35 when I discovered live gigs on RUclips from their pre-first album era.
Dream Theater was one of my favorites growing up, John Petrucci changed my life guitar wise. Myself and every one of my friends had an issue with DT vocals too!
I’ve never liked DT vocals. I know it’s harsh to say but the music is unlistenable to me because of it. It’s a shame because of the sheer amount of talent the rest of the band has.
The vocals on Awake were incredible. He had grit and balls in his voice. After that, he seemed to get really thin and fruity sounding.
Great video Ola, thanks for sharing!
Hey bro awesome video getting a look into what bands shaped u into being the bad ass u are today... u are the person who inspired me to start playing guitar so it was cool to hear what influenced u to be what u are 🤘🤘🤘 appreciate it bro
Overkill is one of my absolute favorite bands. They're completely reliable. We get a new album every year or two, and each album has familiar elements while retaining originality and top notch songwriting.
discovered the Chug, hooked for life!
Excellent vid! Super interesting! Thanks for sharing with us.
Finally a TAD shoutout. Killer unsung band out of Seattle. Maybe the heaviest of the scene. A bunch of great records but I would recommend inhaler as a first listen. If you like music docs I think the TAD doc is still on RUclips. Very well done, I recommend highly.
I feel exactly the same about way Pantera...GOAT
As soon as you mentioned 40k, I knew Bolt Thrower was coming soon. Also, I started around '94.
I'm trying to learn bass guitar and sometimes i feel like it's to late for me cuz i'm 28yo right now, but your videos inspire me everytime though! So thanks for your content Ola and keep the great work you've done till now! by the way, can you bring a bass player like Martin Mendez in "Coffee with Ola?
I didn't expect Bolt Thrower being your entry into real heavy music! That's awesome! Much love for Bolt Thrower and now Memoriam. However, check out the new Ashen Crown album for a 2019 trip to Bolt Throwerville...
Do something with bolt thrower like riffs or a tone video
The Gathering is one of the most underrated metal albums of all time.
It's their best one. Period.
Agreed.
Hell anything by Testament is under rated. The first metal tape I had was Practice What You Preach. Eric Peterson woke me up to wanting to learn guitar. Then a buddy of mine showed me Obituary and the leads James Murphy played hooked me to be serious about playing. When he went to my favorite band I couldn’t believe I was getting to hear Eric and James together making the most brutal music Testament ever made.
The Dali Thundering Concept. Super fresh...amazing production!!!
wow! thanks for the Gorguts recommendation! this is killer!
Twisted Sister - "THE BEAST" bad ass tune!!!
🤘😈🤘
Danzig III: How The Gods Kill
Or the first four?
Awesome album
Hi Ola! Nice video. My favorite Band is WINTERSUN, I admire very much to Jary Mäenpää for his ginius to combine the melodic, Symphonyc stuff and death metal.
This was very cool Ola. I love hearing how and why people got into metal and music in general. For me my band is and always has been Iron Maiden. And Far beyond Driven has always been my favorite Pantera album. They were at their peak during that time in my opinion. But I have to know, Do you still have that black DIme 333 guitar??
Bolt Thrower is not the most easy-listening metal ever for a first-timer, it's interesting you enjoyed it instantly
I got super hooked on those once loyal but I cannot listen to their earlier stuff for some weird reason
@@V1CCZ3XX i think old school death metal is pretty easy listening, very chill
Carcass-heartworks is me reference for guitar sound. Decapitated- nihility too. Cleans are from the ulver-kveldssanger. Samael- rebellion ep, sinister-bastard saints ep. So on. Cryptopsy got me into technical deathmetal. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand spiral architect, spawn of Possession, and necrophagist.
Carcass are awesome \m/
You may enjoy this Playlist WFD (part II I hope to finish fairly soon, it's been a freakin' chore these past few months :p): ruclips.net/p/PL2DU3TBNutEdtiYql5HxhzIxzuFIPcXS9
Spiral Architect is one of my faves in my collection \m/.
Thank you for your videos Ola. I owe you a lot because you inspire me to improve my guitar skills. Positive Ola!
Difficult to choose the band that change my Life. But I guess that Megadeth was the first with peace sells (since 15 years old), Metallica and Pantera (16-17), Death (same), Opeth (since 19), and Alice in Chains (right now).
Those bands are the most important for me
Loved this one! Thank you!
For me it was Metallica - Master of Puppets. Before that I always had been told metal was evil and satanic etc, but my friend at school made me borrow MoP and as I listened to the lyrics I realized metal is much deeper than what the critics said.
Dream theater ❤
Dear Ola, Really like your videos. I’m a regular viewer of your videos and just like you I have started with Grunge Rock, the first songs I played after I got hold of a guitar was About a girl of Nirvana and smells like teen spirit and then came to know about Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Stp etc but later on ended up being a Metalhead and Pantera is the band for me that chugs everyday. There’s not a single day that I don’t listen to Pantera. Next up is Megadeth, Opeth and Testament. I’ve another common thing with you, I used to listen to Twisted sister and Quiet Riot a lot in my earlier days. Cheers from Bangladesh \m/
I really enjoyed this video Ola! I'm 25 years old now and can totally relate with your process until your 25 years old haha Thank you for uploading this kind content!
Gojira! They re-ignited my love for metal at a time where metal had become dumb and repetitive to me (due to overlistening bands like Nile, Behemoth, Cryptopsy and so on...). Never before had I heard a band sounding so intimate and brutal at the same time. For two years I listened to nothing else but Gojira, Techno and HipHop. Now the Metal has come back, but they are still my favorite band!
*Divine Intervention* 🤘😈🤘
Hey Ola. Thank you so much for doing all this :)
Hi Ola, currently my favorite band and overall biggest inspiration for my guitar playing is Periphery. I love the tone, vocals, riffs, and it’s really let me expand into listening to different sub-genres of metal.
Also I want to name 2 bands who changed my life: Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet. 25 years of psychedelic stoner goodness.
Nevermore and Death better be in here
He only started listening to Death a few years ago.
Nevermore is mentioned far too little. Not only because of their musicality but the lyrics that really really hit the spot and keep doing so even now. Combined with Death and I became extremely conflicted and had to open my eyes to the world for what it was.
V exactly right my friend, Warrel Dane was a genius not only lyrically but also with his talent, so was Chuck, Nevermore and Death were by far in my opinion, the greatest bands of all time.
Hello Ola 😎
(Sorry for m'y english )
Your story was very interesting To watch.
For me, i Will always remember the days i was listening a lot of Drop Dead and Dark tranquility.
But the day a discover At the gate and the Hunted was wonderful. Tks to you.
Have fun Ola and continu your great work..have fun 🤘🤙
Hell yes Opeth Blackwater Park and Pantera. Good taste comes out in your playing, mine too 😁 Same with the old Cakewalk 9, my RUclips uploaded songs from early 2000’s recorded with that software.
Metallica and justice for all was the album that changed everything for me
Rob Shores that’s a great album. I remember having to replace the tape a ton of times from listening to it so much lol.
Me too.
Me too.
My favorite Metallica album. Maybe my favorite heavy metal album, elbow to elbow with MAIDEN piece of mind. I dont know why the press is always hacking on justice... I bought it again last winter when they released the remixed version. That's a good album when you dont mind buying it more than once.
Pantera breaked my ground
And Planet X leaded me to an endless abyss with no escape
Love Planet X.
So cool you mentioned Tad! Great band! Inhaler is one of the most underrated heavy albums of all time in my opinion
Ola, we came up around the same time and I remember those days on the Andy Sneap forum. Pantera probably influenced me more than any other band until I heard Meshuggah in 95. Amazing times for metal and I always appreciate you reminiscing on the good old albums and tones. Keep up the great work.
Skating, playing guitars... I was waiting for "hanging with girls", then Warcraft came! ^^
Iron maiden, the number of the beast totally got me to be a metalhead
Growing up in the late 80’s, through the 90’s was without a doubt the best time for metal. There are some great bands now, but nothing compares to the heaviness that Pantera and others brought at that time. Without them, we WOULD NOT have the heavy bands that followed. Also, that introduced me to the Southern Sludge Metal like Acid Bath (you should check them out), Soilent Green, and most importantly, Crowbar and DOWN. Dime is the biggest influence on my playing. Still is to this day. There’s also Hendrix, SRV, and other blues players in there as well. Great video dude! Always cool to see what really influences people. Also, did you keep that “333”?
Since I think I'm a bit older than your average viewer (or at least I assume), I go back to Jeff Beck as being my original guitar HERO. "Cause We Ended As Lovers" is pretty much the song that got me interested in playing guitar. I think you are totally right about getting older and seeing the music from your time as a teen as being the best. It's a great point indeed. I like everything from Cream and Clapton to Ola Englund and Dream Theater. I'm also strongly relate to Satch and Via. Great video man.
Rammstein was my "gateway drug" and is my favourite band ever since.
Rammstein hold a very special place in my heart as well. LOVE their music!
Check out Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, Godflesh ...
Metallica in the late 80's, Iron Maiden, but Kreator and Sodom are my go too's at the moment
They didnt have internet when I was young and getting into metal. I hear Kreator now, and I say, " where have you been all my life?" Kick ass metal band.
Cool of you to share your musical back story! Very interesting to me. I agree that the early nineties were a really exciting time in rock. I'm a little older than you so I'd have to say that the Sex Pistols were probably the most significant band to influence me. Also good job saying "three"!
Hey Ola, wassup dude! Twisted sister, sisters of mercy, guns n roses, black sabbath, Iron maiden, moonspell, Nirvana, metallica etc were my early bands that got me into metal in the 90's.
The band that got me into music was Queensryche. The album was Operation Mindcrime. It is just a solid masterpiece.
It always gets me excited when people talk about Pennywise
Honesty they are one of my favorite bands. It just sucks that u dont really hear people talk about them haha
@@fatal2urhealth36 same here. without them I would have never gotten into slayer or any of my favorite bands today.
Incessant Meme same. I was into all the epitaph and fat wreck bands in the 90s and then from there I got into Metallica and Pantera because Fletcher from PW was into Pantera.
Fuck yeah! Get a Grip was my very first CD as well! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 We’re same age too, Ola.
Ola. I finally listened to MOTU and I was blown away. By far one of the best instrumental albums ive heard in a long time. Thank you for it. It has inspired me to pick up guitar again. My question is.... Can you please feature my statement/question? Cheers from Tennessee.
You forgot Children of Bodom Ola. Don't lie.
😂😂😂
Hahah
Pantera’s Vulgar Display of power my all time fave
Pantera is the most influential band for me as both a consumer and a musician, ever since i was just a young 12 years old. Always has been, and always will be! Your love for them is what brought me to your channel. Keep up the great content!!
I’m so happy you’re such a nirvana fan. I grew up and live a half hour from Aberdeen, kurt’s childhood home. Growing up in this area really rooted me with the Seattle “grunge” bands. Followed by punk rocks, nofx, bouncing souls, cobra skulls, and then my musical taste really expanded. Cheers Ola!
You have the sword on your guitar rack back there? 😂
Yeah, he got it as a gift from his lovely members :)
@@lokaz6145 I remember. Just thought it was funny to see it on his guitar rack
its a cutting tool tho so fits well on the axe rack :P
Rush, all day long. My musical life can be clearly divided into pre-Rush and post-Rush. Post is much better. :)
Same here 😁
Absolutely
Cool, I like this stuff, it makes you more relatable. My standout rock/metal acts over the years are (in the order that I got into them), ZZ Top, Bob Seger, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, The Black Crowes, Metallica, Megadeth, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains Pantera, Iron Maiden, Slayer. There's more, but these are the ones that have stood the test of time for me and I still listen to on a fairly regular basis. Also, if I'm the mood for instrumental stuff, it's you, Andy Timmons, and Pete Thorn.
Great Video Ola. As a 80s and 90s long hair metal head (now known as "old school" or "classic") I think you hit the nail on the head... The best music is the music that influenced us as kids and made us what we are as people and musicians, no matter which decade that was.... Of course we can all agree that the 80s were the best.
Of course Vanhalen was number 1at the time for me , hell I'm a old man with a young mind
Gregg Davenport first concert I ever saw was Van Halen, amazing show!!
I am old too Gregg...but we got to see all the cool bands right?...Cheers Brother.
@Ed M not inner child just wisdom & a lot of knowledge in my 60 years of life George Lynch is 64 & EVH is aslo 64 ect. I play better than I have in my whole life now Peace
if i had to choose only 1 band to listen till the end of my life i would choose "Katatonia" :)
@@Juhaliza they have their good days and bad days. but still they are great :)
There were some great albums in the middle...
Ola I love your music, and it'd actually made me want to order one of your Solar Guitars once I get better at guitar (novice here) and save up enough money to afford one of those badass guitars, I fell in love with the design and how they sound. As for the band that means the most to me, and who inspired me to pick up an instrument and really blew my mind to how Epic metal is was and always will be my favorite band Judas Priest!
Because Im from Canada and you talked about Canadian band...I suggest to you the Canadian band ''Martyr'', the album Warp Zone is my favorite....curious if you would dig this type of metal. Really nice that you share this with us. Cheers man!
The first band that changed my life forever is AC/DC for sure. And then Metallica with the amazing "Kill'em All" album.
I've mowed more lawns as a kid listening to *SLAYER* I still imagine every blade of grass as a life I will cut short.
*_Oh shit_*
SLAYYYYYEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR.
Brutal.
SSLLLLLLAAYYYYYYEEEEERRRRR!
Awesome
very interesting video man really
Brought back some memories of my own
Wow! Your musical journey is very similar to mine. Grunge was the reason I gravitated to rock, then Dimebag was the reason I started playing metal guitar, and Petrucci was the reason I wanted to be good at it. But obviously you excelled way beyond my capabilities lol
Metallica & Mötley Crüe are the band that did it for me
James Hammett same
I imagine a segment called "bands that have change my wife"😂
The second time I went for a drive in the 'future wifes' car she had Anthrax on the stereo ... that and impressive breasts did it for me .
@@rabbiehippo no way man! Thats great🤘
Growing up As a kid I was a santana fan. My dad listened to all his albums all the time. I veered off into rap in my young teens. That was early 90’s rap when it was really catching on with the world. My cousin introduced me to Metallica, megadeth and slayer when I was around 16. I already had a guitar and knew a few Santana tunes. Learning and playing metal really got me interested in guitar to where I started practicing more and more. The two main bands that took it to another level for me were Hopesfall and Poison the Well. That’s when I started going to live shows and hearing a ton of new bands that were touring with them. I could go on and on. Anyways, sorry for my life story. Thanks for sharing this with us. This is the kind of conversation I like to hear.
It's pretty wild and almost eerie how similar your musical trajectory and that of my own line up.
Only tangible difference was that instead of Nirvana, it was the Weird Al parody of Teen Spirit that got me interested in aggressive music.
Aside from that, you pretty much named everything that has made me me.
Ola, if I make it there, or you make it to Tucson, Arizona, loud music should be had.
You are my favourite duder for guitar videos, and I also love dogs. You're little one is quite a gem.
Party on, and drink it or wear it.
CFH for ever.
I would definitely have to say Megadeth is the most important band for me, they inspired me to pick up the guitar again.
Few bands that changed my life when I was 13 are Iron Maiden, Pantera, Slayer, Metallica and Cannibal Corpse.
Great video. Very similar experience for myself
Lovely video! The first band that got me into music was Offspring. My favorite band though is most likely Death (Chuck is my god). Btw, have you heard of the Finnish band Insomnium? I love their work and they recently released a new album called Heart Like A Grave.
