@@MarkOhlsson All their albums are great (Restless and Live is amazing) but I'm not sure why you felt the need to post your commentary on a positive statement I made about an album I've listened to for more than 40 years.
Who says he's underrated? Along with Michael Schenker he is THE classic metal guitar hero of the early 80s and an ispiration for generations of guitarists!
They never partied that hard. Others kill them selfs with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Accept never did those things, none of them. Sometimes Accept is pictured as such but they never did.
Man, Udo-era Accept is one of the pillars of true heavy metal. Breaker, Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart, and Russian Roulette are a major influence on everyone in the 80s and 90s, especially in Europe. I really want to see more interviews with musicians from heavy, power, and thrash metal from 80s-90s like: Running Wild, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Manowar, Kreator, Sodom, Heaven's Gate, Stratovarius etc.
They were super hot in Sweden in the early 80's. Breaker has a good song, Burning. It is mixed perfect, everyone thinks it is live. Good job, some other band makes songs that was meant to sound live but it doesn't work. Even if Accept was globally smaller than other metal bands they had some good sound engineering and over all well produced stuff. Also cover art that Hoffman made at least one.
I saw Accept in 2017 when they were on tour with Sabaton. Great show. It was one of my first concerts and seeing these veterans of the stage was amazing to say the least. Definitely gave them more listens after that.
Awesome guy, and a true legend of metal. I wish this interview had been at least twice as long. 1980s Accept was such a big part of my musical upbringing, and I personally believe Restless and Wild is one of the greatest heavy metal albums ever released. Hearing it for the first time as a young kid was absolutely unreal. Current day Accept is definitely cool too, but there's just something about the 80s albums that can't be matched IMHO.
You don´t need to go to cinemas to see superheroes. You got one visiting you. Incredible melodies, incredible clean sharp playing, and a true sound guru before the sound gurus era.
That was great and please have Andy Sneap here too! It would totally be awesome to hear from him about Sabbat, Hell, Priest etc. And the tech side of things, of course. Hail to legend Wolf!
Accept and wolf are the ACDC of metal in my opinion.. stick with the formula and keep rocking it. And talk about killer riffs..so many .. and complex arrangements.. fantastic...grew up with Balls..and fell in love with Blood of the Nations.. great interview Ola.. wolf does not share much.. love this one buddy
Great interview! 51 yo nowdays I growed up with the Accept of the 80's. Before I was into thrash metal at the late 80's, Accept was probably the band with the most raw, hard and powerful sound I listened to. I know Accept has done great albums also at the -90´s and 2000's, but for me the "holy quads" of Accept is 'Breaker', 'Restless and wild', 'Balls to the wall' and 'Metal heart', with 'Restless...' as my absolute favourite.
Så himla kul att se 2 så erfarna,genomtrevliga och humoristiska musiker skojja och prata musik och minnen!.. man blir på så gott humör!.. ville sitta med och tjöta.. 🎉😂..tack för superbra kanal,Ola!
Thank you for this. I’ve been a huge Wolf Hoffman fan since I first heard Restless and Wild in 1983. Very tasteful playing and always has top shelf guitar tone!
Good morning from New England As a 10 yr old learning drums and taking lessons Balls To The Wall and that entire album was on constant rotation along with Screaming For Vengeance and early Maiden The song Fast As A Shark used to frustrate the hell out of me as I learned to play and took me a few yrs to actually learn it proper lol I never got deep into theory but I did learn how to read basic drum tabs just to be able to nail something 100% Great interview ✌️🤘🧐😎
What a legend! I had my boombox cranking Balls to the Wall on every school bus trip when I was younger. You get the best of the best in your studio, Ola. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Absolutely. I saw them live last year, and it was beyond amazing (I even got a pick from Phil, one of the other guitarists). I'm seeing them again twice this year, and it's probably the band I'm looking forward to the most. 🤘
I remember my first festival in 1984 in Karlsruhe. I guess it was called Monsters of Rock. And I was going there just because of Accept! The other bands were Motley Crue, Ozzy, Van Halen and AC/DC, but I wasn't interested in them. I wanted to see Wolf with Accept and I still love them!
The modern days of accept slaaaaaays. To many people are stuck in the old days. Blood of the nations and forwards is total killer. Every album has at least two or three song that melt your face!!
30:50 Wolf made me think about his endless search for tone, it made me think of how the opening chords of Balls to the Wall. That song had me hooked from the beginning and it only got better! I am so satisfied that Wolf found his signature sound, his signature guitar. Cheers!
The best live performance I ever seen was Accept in Knotfest Bogota 2019. I had never heard about Accept before that show. It was first hand experience and it blew my mind. The majority of the bands were two decades younger than these guys at least, but their energy was unmatched even by the main act Slipknot a 12 members band weren't as close to Accept.
Back in 2011 I was using an E-kit live and sound guys and other bands gave me endless grief because I didn't have real drums. We just didn't have a Van to haul my drums.
That's the nice thing about being a guitarist who also wrote the vocal melodies and the lyrics, you immediately know where and when to scale back the riff for the viöocals.
Great insights! I always appreciate the fine tones and tight rhythms of Wolf’s work. Initially I wasn’t sure what to think until I gave songs and albums a full listen when I revisited them after the 09 reboot. Then, you hear the interesting prog stuff happening in instrumental after the fury of the first parts of the songs and understand the depth there. Throw those living Marshall amp voices of Udo or Mark on top and it’s good times. I suspect it is his Wizard amp that is profiled by Mbritt on the Kemper. Love both lead channels of that beast. The Kemper remains on top for sound and utility and he was one of the earliest adopters.
I got to do the meet and greet on the Blood of the Nations tour in San Francisco. Got the entire band to sign my 1984 white Arbor flying V. Wolff even strummed it a bit. Nicest guy in metal. Legend. \,,/
Great interview! My first concert was Accept opening for Krokus way back in 1983 when I was 12! Any thoughts of trying to get Jeff Waters into the studio for an interview?
Had a pleasure to talk to Wolf a few days ago doing an interview for a Guitarist Magazine Polish edition, cool conversation, no tight up shit, it was like talking l to an old friend even though we never met before. Wolf is as easy going as i gets and the conversation just flows itself. New album is a very good piece of classic heavy metal. Check it out
As swede i find the name wolf(w) so comforting. It reminds me of my neighbour Rolf, he had an speach enpidament, his "r" sounds like "w" and he was not asian. He gave me my first sabbath album just because he noticed i was listening to Michael Jackson and he thought it was "fake music, the real musicians are stuck in the studio or fking on stage, that boy is just a propp for the wrong people to make money of him, its a shame"
I wonder that the e-drum thing seems to be quite new in the metal scene?! Long ago I heard that Phil Collins uses e-drums for many many years already. They sampled the drums of his live kit and so he has everything in the box now. No more endless soundchecks, just plug and play.
Great interview, Ola! Interesting discussion on Artificial Intelligence and your and Wolf's insights. I've always considered Wolf's tone among metal's greatest. But I have to disagree with him on click tracks. While they keep bands in proper time, they tend to suck the spontaneity and human quality from live performances. Turning 'em from concerts into "productions," for lack of a better word. Still, major respect for Mr. Hoffman.
Restless and Wild is still one of my favorite albums for 40+ years. 🤘🏼
Great, but Accept is not to be reduced to Restles and Wild though. Many of their great stuffs are underrated just because of this extrafocus on R&W
@@MarkOhlsson All their albums are great (Restless and Live is amazing) but I'm not sure why you felt the need to post your commentary on a positive statement I made about an album I've listened to for more than 40 years.
That man is in Accept and his name is Wolf, you can't be cooler than that !😎
Cannot wait to get home and watch this. Wolf Hoffman is one of the most criminally underrated guitarists.
Who says he's underrated? Along with Michael Schenker he is THE classic metal guitar hero of the early 80s and an ispiration for generations of guitarists!
Dude looks moore like 44 than 64 😁
The magic of being having a shaved head for most of your life.
They never partied that hard. Others kill them selfs with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Accept never did those things, none of them. Sometimes Accept is pictured as such but they never did.
As a teenager during the 80's, Accept was one of my favorite bands. Great interview.
Yeees Bruce Willis!
Just a joke,I love his playing
Ha ha ha
Come to the coast, we'll get together, have some laughs
I love Bruce Willis!
You know... It drives me mad that I wasn't the one to come up with that. 👏 👏 👏

Breaker, Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart, and Russian Roulette are a major influence on everyone in the 80s and 90s, especially in Europe.

I still remember putting the Restless and Wild vinyl on the turntable for the first time. Wolf's tone was next level from 82 on. Legend indeed.
He´s the reason I started to play the guitar! King!
He is the reason I play guitar he is a legend
Wolf Hoffman is criminally underrated. Really cool guy too.
Wolf is my Hero. I met him and Udo in like 1986. Accept have been killer for decades.
Glad to see WOLF still rocking in 2024! Saw them in a small club in Texas in 1984. 40 years ago! Met him once in Germany on the Death Row tour.
My first Accept album was Breaker, 1981. What an album. And the title track, until today, one of my all time favorites.
Wolf is too cool. Awesome to see him still loving to rock out and make music.
Hoffman is a living legend. Accept albums since 2010 are masterpieces. He writes perfect pure heavy metal and his solos are masterworks.
That was a great interview. Wolf is such a nice guy & Accept such an influential band. 🤘
One of my favorite band accept ! 🎸🤟🤟
such a laid back and natural interview, very cool
He's the reason why I love white Flying Vs.
I saw Accept in 2017 when they were on tour with Sabaton. Great show. It was one of my first concerts and seeing these veterans of the stage was amazing to say the least. Definitely gave them more listens after that.

I finally saw Accept live about 8 months ago in the US; they kicked so much ass, I was on cloud 9 for days!
You don´t need to go to cinemas to see superheroes. You got one visiting you. Incredible melodies, incredible clean sharp playing, and a true sound guru before the sound gurus era.
That was great and please have Andy Sneap here too! It would totally be awesome to hear from him about Sabbat, Hell, Priest etc. And the tech side of things, of course. Hail to legend Wolf!
Wolf is a true guitar legend, just being himself. Love it!
Balls to the wall is the best tone ever!!!
Accept and wolf are the ACDC of metal in my opinion.. stick with the formula and keep rocking it.

Tak, Ola! - Wolf is a legend, and I have always loved his tone and of course all his fantastic riffs and melodies.
Great Interview, my favorite so far. Wolf is a Great guy and Kick ASS Guitarist.
Wolf Hoffman awesome 👌 👏 👍
One of my key guitar heroes and inspirations. Great chat, thanks.
Best coffee yet. Wolf is very engaging, dug the back n forth. Good job dooder.
Such an underrated guitarist! Glad to see him getting some spotlight
Good morning from New England As a 10 yr old learning drums and taking lessons Balls To The Wall and that entire album was on constant rotation along with Screaming For Vengeance and early Maiden The song Fast As A Shark used to frustrate the hell out of me as I learned to play and took me a few yrs to actually learn it proper lol I never got deep into theory but I did learn how to read basic drum tabs just to be able to nail something 100% Great interview ✌️🤘🧐😎
What a great gentleman Wolf is. The master of riffs! The best Coffe with Ola up til now, IMHO! Very pleasant to watch and hear whats he says!
What a legend 🙏 been listening to wolfs riffs since the 80's, love to see he's still a gear guy after all these years.
What a legend! I had my boombox cranking Balls to the Wall on every school bus trip when I was younger. You get the best of the best in your studio, Ola. Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Accept are one of the few bands who can get away with replacing the original singer and still sounding fresh and staying relevant after 50 years.
Absolutely. I saw them live last year, and it was beyond amazing (I even got a pick from Phil, one of the other guitarists). I'm seeing them again twice this year, and it's probably the band I'm looking forward to the most. 🤘
Two of the coolest men in the music industry. 🙏🙏🙏

Probably my favorite format on your channel, the coffee with Ola. Thank you!!
I was waiting for this interview. Wolf is one of my guitar heroes, this guy has so much taste for riffs and leads!!!
An absolute legend without any doubt! Glad to see him here!
Great video and Wolf wearing some badass shoes. Thanks Ola.
Indeed with got THE «Ø» in Norway🇳🇴!!😎 Great interview, Ola!🤘👏
Wolf riffs never get out from the heavy metal circle. Pure tradisonal heavy metal
Already got my tickets for Accept here in Brazil! Can't wait!

The majority of the bands were two decades younger than these guys at least, but their energy was unmatched even by the main act Slipknot a 12 members band weren't as close to Accept.
Took me forever back in the day to get his sound down. such a crunchy bad ass sound.
Fantastic interview, love Wolf - bonafide legend! Thanks to you both.🤘🏻😎
Great interview with a metal legend. Wolf is authentic with valuable wisdom. Excellent insights into the live experience.
Ola, thanks a lot for this interview! Accept rules!
Back in 2011 I was using an E-kit live and sound guys and other bands gave me endless grief because I didn't have real drums. We just didn't have a Van to haul my drums.
I believe the last 15 years he has established a unique sound which is perfect!!
Wolf is Accept,His guitar riffs are the staple to their sound,his riffs sound like a chain saw cutting thru concrete, Hes a Total bad ass 😎💯
That's the nice thing about being a guitarist who also wrote the vocal melodies and the lyrics, you immediately know where and when to scale back the riff for the viöocals.
Fucking legend an super nice guy - met him few years ago and got him to sign my restless and wild vinyl
Legendary guitarist and amazing band accept reall heavy metal classic udo sound 🤌🤌🤌
Wolf Rules!!! I cannot wait for the new album
Great interview! This is my first time seeing an interview with Wolf. Enjoyed him very much and maybe you too Oooola.
One of the coolest guitar tones in Heavy Metal history.
My first album I bought with my own money was Accept Breaker back in 1981 I was 14 years then. That album is still one of the best album ever. 🤘😁
