Had Slash over for a brief interview(he's a very busy man). Got to ask about his new album Orgy of The Damned (out 17th of May), about the new digital era of guitar playing etc. An absolute honor to have him over!
@@campy3888 it's because Chris is a musician first who's always played in bands. His band, Cardinal Black have just finished a year touring and are recording their second album. They were number 1 in the rock charts with their first album too. RUclips is simply an extra platform for him. He is definitely NOT a RUclipsr
This guy was / is in what used to be pretty much the biggest rock band in the world for a while and seems to be so laid back, humble and down to earth. Super cool and also killer guitar player with absolutely great sense for melody. legend!
Meh, he's incredibly sloppy live. In the studio he's written some of the best solos there are. Live he lives a lot to be desired. Probably partly because his studio stuff is so good.
@@Cheximus being a sloppy performer who still sounds good and writes banger songs and solos is way better than being a tight shredder who can't write to save their lives
Just the other day I saw the making of the new album video with Slash, in that he was not wearing the glasses. In my opinion, without the glasses, he is way more good looking. :) I don't think wearing sunglasses almost all the time even in moderatly lit environments does his eyes good.
Even though I’ve listened to Slash during the GN&R days, never watched him on an interview and I’m extremely impressed of his humility and the ease of conversation with him. What a class act, thanks for having him over Ola.
@mememetal666 Why... because he doesn't play sweeped arpeggios, and flaunt skill endlessly? I don't even like Gn'R, and think this is a bs take. Platinum selling rock/metal artists, of the physical sales era, are not "overrated"? Not everybody wants to listen shred instrumentals and metal 24/7. Some people enjoy variation in life... maybe like more than one genre
When I was a kid Slash was my biggest hero , even when it wasn’t cool to like rock n roll because of grunge. I always thought I’d wake up and hear he had died because of his life style like all the other greats before him. I’m so happy he’s doing so much and been going nonstop for so long. I hope he never loses the passion. What an amazing journey it’s been.
I love these interviews. They are never boring and feel very natural. You let your guests talk about more about their passions then the basic stuff you normaly hear.🤘
Fucking Awesome!! "Not an interviewer, just a guitar player" two things I can't agree with you on. You are a brilliant interviewer, you let the guests talk and they are immediately at ease which makes these some of the best interviews to watch ever. The 'Just a guitar player' needs 'an inspirational guitar player' added. This was epic, thank you Ola!
The reason I started playing guitar! My first "heavy" CDs I bought was the Use Your Illusion I & II set back in the days. Awesome to see him on the channel! Great work!
I won't lie, I've never been a big fan of Slash's music, but he does always seem like a nice genuine dude who loves music. He doesn't have that "rockstar doing it for the fame" attitude. I had no idea that he does soundtrack scoring stuff and this blues album as well, that's really interesting to hear.
Slash has written and recorded guitar on songs for alot of musicians over the years. Al the way back to Michael Jackson's thriller. He did tracks for ozzy and motorhead and on and on and on.
@Playerthegamer21 its basically his image...kinda like Mustaine with his V or Hetfield with explorers...probably has a contract that says what he can and cant play
Holy shit, Slash!!! Really proud of Ola's growth. I've been following the channel since forever and it doesn't get bigger than this. Well... It does. Sooner or later he will have a coffee with James Hettfield and then he can shut off the channel and die happy 🙂
Slash has been always been a super chill person..I’ve been a fan of since the late 80s..He was real back then always but the love of the music..His new Blues Album is awesome..Ola awesome interview 🤟
Slash is a god damn legend and one of the dudes that inspired me to pick up a guitar as a kid. It's really great to see him on the show! Congrats, Ola and welcome, Slash! To add to the old school tube amp vs new age plugin debate: Another reason why old school is "more unique" is because there's more variables which means more chances to make a mistake. It is in these mistakes that discoveries are made and new sounds are created.
I don't think I've ever seen Slash interviewed before tbh... I was pleasantly surprised by how talkative and nice he was, not at all "rockstar" like :)
Thank you for doing this and sharing it with us all! I became a fan of Slash in 1992 when I was 13 (1 year before I first picked up a guitar). There was no internet back then, so I used to spend all of the little money I had on magazines that featured an interview with Guns or with Slash. Besides interviews they did for some specialised magazines (like music gear magazines), to this day, most interviewers always ask him the same questions, so this was different.
Great interview! This was making me think how it would be if Slash and Gary Moore and maybe also some of the old Deep purple/Whitesnake guys would make an blues album toghetether...

1st here, Pin me Ola !!!
Thanks Ola !! Love your content ❤
Pause...
REALLY needy, huh?
@@ramonzeira yeah, i will never understand the need for this kind of attention... as if there is nothing else in life...
@@ramonzeira c'mon, let him have his moment
I like to see Ola pretending to be calm
Occasionally he can't contain his giggly fanboy self and I love it
Ola was shitting his pants. But, hey he got Slash to do it, Awesome!
Jajajajajaja
Barely
Who wouldn’t be excited. Ola’s always genuine, it’s part of his charm
Had Slash over for a brief interview(he's a very busy man). Got to ask about his new album Orgy of The Damned (out 17th of May), about the new digital era of guitar playing etc. An absolute honor to have him over!
Dude... You lucky get, man!!!! 🤘🤘
Nice slash is my fav guitar player
saludos desde buenos aires
did slash buy a solar guitar or at least a hoodie? he should have!
Nice job Ola!
This represents a breakthrough into popular culture Ola! Slash was one of the first guitar players that inspired me to finger the G string 🎸
Muhahahah
no way its shreadmasterscott
love your content man
uhhahahahahahaha . . . . . . .
I learned guitar first.
The g strings and the fingering came subsequently.
I see what you did there… 😆😆
No Fucking Way! Dude It's Slash! Holy Shit!
Would have died if ola said do you mind taking those clunky brackets off.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
@@sixonesix9429 sounds like someone’s putting silverware away ha ha
Actually that's just one of our parents
@@Vivi_9 south park
Fair play to Ola for interviewing this up and coming blues guitar player. He looks a lot like the guitar player that inspired me to start playing..
With a little practice, this kid could really go places
Reminds me of that Kravitz guy ... 😂
✅ Ola interviews Slash
✅ Slash listens to Gojira
🙋I can shut my computer off and wish you a good weekend.
No fuckin way! The dude who first made me fall in love with guitar, talking with the dude who made me fall in love with the guitar again!
With all that talent, fame and fortune, you would have thought it would have gone to his head by now, but SLASH is still as COOL as ever!
He’s NOT Gene Simmons. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some musicians do have their heads on straight 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
@@billyc6678 lol!
Brits with a working class background will always have that down to Earth nature about them
@@Vivi_9 Liam Gallagher would like a word...
No fucking way! Ola you are a legend I can't believe you even got him in he's always double busy.
I love that Slash mentioned that he's listening to Chris Buck. Slash inspired Chris to play guitar and now Slash listening to Chris.
I got into guitar last year and my cousin recommended I check out Chris Buck. He really does seem to be a cut above the other guitar content creators.
Chris is a wad
Chris and Slash have played together a few times in the past u can look for it on youtube they are buddies
I picked that too when he mentioned Chris Buck.
A great guitarist in his own right.
@@campy3888 it's because Chris is a musician first who's always played in bands. His band, Cardinal Black have just finished a year touring and are recording their second album. They were number 1 in the rock charts with their first album too.
RUclips is simply an extra platform for him.
He is definitely NOT a RUclipsr

Wow, never would have thought Slash would be on Coffee with Ola. Great job on the interview!
Caught Slash in San Antonio for the GNR show, he has always been a great player and even to this day he has still got it.
Meh, he's incredibly sloppy live. In the studio he's written some of the best solos there are. Live he lives a lot to be desired. Probably partly because his studio stuff is so good.
@@Cheximus being a sloppy performer who still sounds good and writes banger songs and solos is way better than being a tight shredder who can't write to save their lives
@@Vivi_9 Ok, and? Why are you arguing with yourself?
@@Cheximus just dismissing your needless first sentence
@@Vivi_9 you're not dismissing it. You're creating an argument out of thin air. 😂 The internet in a nutshell.
Slash and his Les Pauls single handedly inspired MILLIONS of people around the world to pickup and learn guitar. He is the definition of a guitar god!
And... his top hat
Perhaps a guitar - hero.
Slash has always been the same Slash, just has always seemed like one of the nicest most down to Earth Rockstars.
And Kirk!
for those who are curious, those glasses are actually glued to his face.
Just the other day I saw the making of the new album video with Slash, in that he was not wearing the glasses. In my opinion, without the glasses, he is way more good looking. :)
I don't think wearing sunglasses almost all the time even in moderatly lit environments does his eyes good.

Amazing! Saw him live last week, such a humble guy and still as cool as 20 years ago
SLASH: My favorite guitarist!
At this point, I dunno how Ola could top this, or find anybody better to interview.
Probably Hetfield, i guess...
Dimebag Darrell
Mustaine for the lolz, hed never do it, but it would be fun haha
@@budleysulterton7931 that's fucked up
Hetfield!
Ola started a bit starstruck, but than did a very cool interview! Slash is such a relaxed guy!
Poor Slash. He hates the attention, but no one can help being nervous around him. Seems like he's used to it though
Holy shit slash!!
highly overrated guitarrist
@mememetal666 Why... because he doesn't play sweeped arpeggios, and flaunt skill endlessly?

@@mememetal666 underrated if anything
Slash is my inspiration for playing guitar, thank you Ola for invite him 😃
he is a legend.... i would get so nervous... i would be so star struck
I saw him with the conspirators in London and it was one of the best gigs i've ever witnessed, so cool to see him on your channel!
I saw yesterday Slash with Myles Kennedy concert. Today Slash is here with Ola. Great!
«New metallica was effin amazing» *Ola nods politely*
😂
I love this album too 😢
@@Sispheor I don’t hate it. But it’s not effin amazing 😅
A great album
@@TheTomarild A totally valid opinion from an actually experienced musician.*
Really appreciate slash , one of the most humble guys in the business, always seems to have time for everyone, cracking player too.
Slash seems like a dude ya could just hang with and chill.
Man comes across humble and cool.
Then he gets on a private jet and goes home to his mansion
@@stephenh.4476 Which is why its surprising he was so humble and chill.
Slash is kindhearted and humble.. cool too.. amazing human being 🌟💫🌟
@@stephenh.4476you know this for a fact? Did he not work for what he has? Did he beg on the streets? Stop!!!
Cool interview,
Love Slash
He’s so nice and easy going, very awesome of him to have Coffee with Ola.

Hell Yes 🔥Slash goes ALL the way back for me growing up playing guitar. Incredible ❤🔥
Wow! How amazing. Slash is so low key. Love it. Thank you.
Slash is legend. His solo from the song November rain always in my heart/
That is a grand and epic solo!!
Slash got me into guitar and Ola thought me how to program drums back in the ez drummer days.
What a beautiful interview
I met Slash back in '96. He was so down to Earth and easy going. A real cool cat!!!
Slash is simply incredible!

Never thought I would see Slash with a Bokassa shirt!!! great band from Norway
The reason I started playing guitar! My first "heavy" CDs I bought was the Use Your Illusion I & II set back in the days. Awesome to see him on the channel! Great work!
Wow didn't see that one coming! Slash rules!
The man who got me playing guitar and into music.
Just noticed he's wearing a Bokassa t-shirt! Great band. People need to listen to them.
Awesome interview. When they played Live at The Ritz in 88 on Headbangers Ball I was so blown away. Slash is a legend!
I was there!!! It was epic!!
Dude, congrats on getting SLASH on your show. Holy sh*t man...
Awesome to see Slash on Coffee With Ola! He sounds like the cool, laid back, polite, and friendly guitarist version of Steven Seagal

You don’t like gnr? Not judging
@@rocketdurham4926 Not any songs that I've ever heard. I'm sure there are many I haven't heard though.

@@niclastname try listening to estranged.
This is almost surreal. What a great interview.
What I love about Slash is how down to earth, normal he is.
Niceee! Hope to see Slash playing a Solar in the stage in the future!
@Playerthegamer21 He plays Bc Rich too
@Playerthegamer21 He plays Bc Rich too

Very sad to hear Velvet Revolver is over. RIP Scott. One of the all time great frontmen.
Whoa dude! Ola's in the jungle, baby.
I love it when slash says i just turn the base up on the tellie
Holy shit, Slash!!! Really proud of Ola's growth. I've been following the channel since forever and it doesn't get bigger than this. Well... It does. Sooner or later he will have a coffee with James Hettfield and then he can shut off the channel and die happy 🙂
Wow I’m suprised how together he is honestly. Great job getting clean brother. Best thing you ever did 😇🫶🏽💯legend
Legendary. Good job Ola. Props on nailing that interview and mad respect to Slash for listening to Metallica, Megadeth and Gojira.
No way, it's Slash! Thanks for doing this one, Ola!
So proud of you good buddy Ola! There is no going up from this. 😍
Hard rock royalty! Gun's n Roses was one of my first band obbssesion as a kid. Very cool Ola thanks heaps!
Ola looked nervous af lol that's okay, I would be too!!!
I noticed that instantly also, Ola drinks a fu*k load of coffee so there's that XD
The guy is an absolute legend and he’s always totally cool and laid back. No attitude or bs ego trips at all.
I love Ain't it Fun off of the Spaghetti Incident. Love that tone. It has a real growl.
Slash has been always been a super chill person..I’ve been a fan of since the late 80s..He was real back then always but the love of the music..His new Blues Album is awesome..Ola awesome interview 🤟
A new level has achieved, awesome Ola. Waiting to see Papa Het
Slash is a super-talented megastar and also refreshingly cool and down-to-earth. Great interview!
At this point, I think famous artists are lining-up to be on Ola's talk show.
That's how famous Ola is now. Ola is the Jay Leno of the guitar world.
Slash is a god damn legend and one of the dudes that inspired me to pick up a guitar as a kid. It's really great to see him on the show! Congrats, Ola and welcome, Slash!

Wow! Slash! OMG! such a legend! On another hand you look like a 10 year old kid who just met his super-hero. Kudos on this one!
Slash is a great human being. It's always great to see a Guitar legend/Rockstar with a big heart. Huge respect from India. Big fan here. 💯👏
Slash is one of the few "BIG" stars that comes up here(Missoula, Montana)to play.
Great of him to lend a few minutes to chat. Total legend.
Amazing interview! Thanks to Slash for stopping by “our” (I mean Ola’s?) humble channel to chat!
Ola that was really good 2 guys talking music artists and guitars and no inane questions
You’re both stars !!👍👍👍
It's funny how you can tell Ola is nervous, but he did a great job!
WoW ! His story about the solo in Wicked Stone he did in Paris is amazing ! I was just in front of him 2nd row and he blew us away. What a prodige !
The final character ❤
It’s Sunday morning and I’m having coffee with Ola and Slash
Thank you both

This is Slash casually sitting in his studio.
I was 12 years old when Appetite for Destruction came out. I about wore that tape out. Great interview!
Two guitarists one cup
I saw what you did there 😅
Really awesome that Slash dropped in to visit you Ola. He is an incredible guitarist and yet so approachable and friendly - very cool!
Slash is a legend.
Awesome interview. Can’t wait to hear the new album.
Ola's coffee brings the best to the yard! 😂
Good watch!
I didn’t see any coffee😂
This simply shows how much Ola loves various styles of music and to see him sit on his hands the whole interview
That's the best One yet!!!!!🔥🎸🔥
Waooo, the legendary Slash, really good job Ola. Thanks to him, it was so cool, good interview. 👍👍👍, not enough, 👍👍👍
Coffee with Ola but no one has coffee...EVER! "No COFFEE with Ola" 😂
(Lack of) coffee with Ola
The man, the myth, the legend; Ola Englund.
Very cool to see you give this Slash guy a spot on the show.
😉
that is so cool! SLASH!
Unreal. you got Slash, huge congratulations Ola. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada. Ed
Best interview I’ve seen with slash. Thanx ola
Slash voice is so soothing and he looks like such a chill person
Dudeeeee this is amazing!!!
Great interview! This was making me think how it would be if Slash and Gary Moore and maybe also some of the old Deep purple/Whitesnake guys would make an blues album toghetether...
He must be exhausted with 3 different projects at the same time and always doing something.
I bet, however there comes inertia with all that momentum haha. Some people really enjoy that style of life too.
