Morning everyone! Hope you have a great Sunday! Since this video is demonetized maybe consider getting some merchandise from www.olaenglundshop.com or something like that!
Great show as always xD I have a cup of questions for te next episodes FAQ : I remember when you barely know about Megadeth and now seems you like it. I'm so glad to see that. Hope you dig and enjoy the rest of the dischography too. Did you become interested a llitle more in their albums ? wich is your favorite and why ? Ohh and I have a Question for the Metal Morning with Louis. - How was your first Date and, Did she see you playing live with your band any time before the first date ? Greetings from Argentina, We still waiting for the next The Haunted Tour !!!
Im liking the merch. Just placed 3 orders. Got different check outs there. Should expand a little bit more with the merch, some Bandanas and Hoodies would be a good addition. I gotta say man. Your vids are getting so good. The way your placing them together. Pro congrats on the 🐕 dog ! My beagle is the same color. Lemon / Tan. You two are awesome !
Every musician should have a girlfriend or wife who loves music - if not, it's going to hold them back as musician and eventually they'll quit music. I've seen this happen too many times with musician friends.
Beneath the Remains and Arise are very special Sepultura thrash albums. ARISE takes the lead by a hair, as it should being the natural follow up with the benefit of progression. Great band. QUADRA is the CD I have waited over 20 years for. Things went down when Max left, but I didnt automatically assume they would be awful without him.
Agree 100% Testament didn't get enough love in the 80's and early 90's. They were so damn good and Alex Skolnick was just a level above other lead guitar players in the metal scene back then.
That's because they were a very good but derivative thrash band back then, they really found their own sound in The Gathering and have been great ever since. Sckolnick is definitely a world top 10 metal guitar player
I’ve never been a huge Slayer fan: my big four is Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Testament. All but Metallica are playing a festival near our house in September and I can’t wait!
@@Mr.Smith_777 it's not about who's first. Big 4 was the top selling & popular thrash bands! Testament was close in sales with them . & I'm Not saying the others were bad. Overkill would be my #6!
Love thrash and love Power Trip. I'm a firm believer that one of the most important things that makes good thrash is that old school 80s sounding quality. The minute I heard Power Trip I was instantly in love.
Since last year when all the COVID stuff started, I started getting into SWOLA and love it, I watch it every Monday morning to ease me into the week. You decided to swap it up a little with Metal Morning, bringing Louise in and again, love it! Today, you bring your new 4 legged friend in... BEST MONDAY EVER! 🤘😁🤘
Pretty crazy that Kirk Hammet came from Exodus, Dave Mustaine was booted from Metallica and Metallica was super tight with Anthrax. The roots grew close together.
Also, Steve "Zetro" Souza from Exodus was the original singer for Legacy, who changed their name to Testament prior to the recording of their first album.
Favourite classic thrash metal band: Metallica. Favourite new wave thrash bands: Evile and Havok. Ps. That answer of the question of the day really touched me. I had that flick of a switch moment after a really tumultuous relationship ended. It's one of my weaknesses that I care too much about what people think of me and that I want to please those people. But when that relationship ended, I just stopped caring...It was such a weird but at the same time relieving feeling. I was always working so hard in school and at work to please others that it brought me to the brink of a severe depression. But having that flick of a switch moment really made me realise what's important in life. And for me those things are my closest friends and bandmates and the good times we spend together, since those are the things you will remember with a smile when you are old. Keep up the good work Ola and Louise! Greetings from a long time fan from the Netherlands.
Kirk came from Exodus to replace Dave Mustain. I was 13 in 86 and just ate, drank, breathed and lived Thrash! Death was my absolute favorite! The first time I heard Chuck “sing” I almost went into a coma! I grew up in Orlando, Florida and during the 80s there was a show or concert EVERY weekend! I seen so many of them live! Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath, Testament, Anthrax, Danzig, you name it and I have the ticket stub! There will never be another time like it! Death- Leprocy is to me what Slayer Reign in Blood is to you, as great as Reign is. R.I.P. Chuck When “Load” was released, they were no longer “MY” Metallica.
My little 4 year old son has pulled out DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECIEVER, because he thinks the cover is awesome. I had never listened to it. I put it on... holy shit! Great thrash album (or metal or whatever genre it was). Thanks son!
My favorite thrash band is definitely Stone from Finland. I may be biased, but their "No Anaesthesia!" album is the best Finnish metal album by far. And it's from '89! Highly recommended! 🤘
This has got me reminiscing about some of the tremendous shows I went to in the late '80s-early 90's. Savatage, Megadeth, and Dio, on a New Year's eve, at Nassau Coliseum. Celtic Frost, Exodus, and Anthrax, at the Capitol Theater, in NJ. Testament opening for Slayer, at Madison Square Garden. Motorhead, and Iron Maiden, at the Jones Beach Theater. It was such a great time to be a metalhead! 🤘
I remember when Testaments 'the gathering' was released. Hearing D.N.R. for the first time made my fookin soul roar. I can recommend anyone, after drinking a few sentimental beers in your metal pub, to ask your brethren "do you remember the first time you heard Slayer?". With a big grin and tear-filled eyes the answer "yes.....yes I do...."
Forbidden are one of the thrash bands that got overlooked, but were one of the best around. Their songwriting and ability to rock an awesome live show was second to none.
Testament's Practice What You Preach holds up well today. Perilous Nation, Envy Life, Preach... Just GREAT metal music, produced very well for the times. The bass tone is just sick. 🤘 The New Order deserves some props as well. Trial By Fire was my jam for a minute in highschool, and that Aerosmith cover Nobody's Fault was dope too. What a great, underrated band!
Power trip was a nice shout out ola, being from tx that band has a huge influence on me, thats one of my favorite bands to day. Thanks for the thrash content bro!! 🙏
Favorite was probably a 3-way tie back when I was in high school, 84-87, between Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer. Seeing Slayer on their '87 tour was incredible. It was the last show I saw in Los Angeles as a teen. It was a crazy evening. Lightning in the sky over LA and a dead body outside the venue. Some poor soul on a bicycle was run down. Flotsam and Jetsam was also incredible that night.
Testament is obviously the best thrash metal band in the world, always evolved their music and never dissapointed the funs, also Alex is a phenomenal guitar player and the band has a super line up !!!!
Hey, congrats on the addition to the family! Ola, I agree Testament should absolutely be considered rite up there with the big guys! Testament was the sh*t back in the day. I like the idea of BIG 5. That would be awesome! Keep up the good work & I would like to send you a guitar to try out very soon! Then you can give it away.. lol.
Exodus are one of my most absolute favorite bands, the song Last Act of Defiance is a fucking ripper. Another great Thrash band is Violator, also Possessed are classic, always referred to as death metal but their sound is straight up thrash. Demolition hammer are also a sick thrash/death metal band I like alot. Umm Morbid Saint, and also not thrash but a band you need to hear is XOTH from Seattle, technical spacey black thrashy death metal. Check out their newest album "interdimensional Invocations" self released and really next level shit I know you would appreciate.
Agreed! The Legacy. Testament is still to this day putting out amazing albums. Can't say much for the "Big Four." Exodus for sure, Gary Holt is the Riff-King!
@@mraya60 I need to check them out. One thing though, where the Hell is 'Beneath The Remains' and 'Arise'?! Does this crazy Swede not like 'Sepultura'?
This is one of your best videos, Ola. It’s very very cool to hear your history with music with Louise, and then the question of the day segment was just jam packed with awesome.
Well the reality is it's the "big 8" not just the big 4. The big 8 not in any order: 1. Metallica 2. Megadeth 3. Slayer 4.Anthrax 5. Exodus 6. Testament 7. Kreator 8. Death Angel Etc...
Morning Ola, tho I'm older than you and Louise I do not have much of a Thrash background. Sorry. But not sorry, because I just got my Solar FanFret 6... delivered on Friday, the 9th. It plays nice, and I'll be finished with my detune string change and setup in a few days. I guess I have to find a Tubescreamer to slap the front of my H&K, huh? ... nah, that's what the Apex for !!! Holy fwack... nice guitar. Thank you for going the fanfret route.
Anthrax were actually more popular than Slayer and Megadeth at certain points during the 80's and early 90's. If you look at the album chart positions by year, some of their early to mid-career albums were ranked higher than Slayer and Megadeth albums at the time. Their videos were in heavy rotation on MTV and they also had a series of mainstream crossovers like the famous collaboration with Run-DMC on their song "Bring the Noise" and a guest appearance on the episode of "Married With Children", but for some reason since the mid 90s their popularity started declining while the other 3 of the big four were successful at maintaining their relative popularity level throughout the rest of the 90's and early 00's and that's probably why people these days think of them as the 4th of the four, or maybe even undeserving of the spot in the big four. One thing that hit them really hard in the aftermath of 9/11 was the series of terror attacks with letters laced with anthrax that almost caused them to change their name.
@@mykuntstynx9463 Yeah, you're right. I misspoke when I said they almost changed their name. What I meant to say was that they were pressured to change their name because it became toxic after the series of anthrax laced mail terror attacks.
@@Grindermetalhead It's all good buddy. We're all just showing each other our derks around here anyway. Lol Seriously though, I only know about the basket full of puppies because of the documentary Anthrax has been uploading. I watched one episode last night and it was the episode that touched on this very subject.
Awesome way to start the morning, thank you Ola and Louise and the super metal head pooch that you have, shes metal wagging mad!!!! YEA A! One trash band that had a huge impact on me and my friends was Destruction back in the day. Bestial invasion, what a great tune. #1 Was Metallica but closely followed by Anthrax, Exodus and Megadeth for us, then followed by Slayer and the regular non thrash bands like Priest, Maiden, Ozzy, Raven for us at least. Later on Dream Theater and Pantera. BUT< it all started with Black Sabbath for the metal era for my influences. Cheers Al
My Thrash Metal favorite bands: Metallica Slayer Megadeth Anthrax Annihilator Exodus Testament Overkill Death Angel Kreator Sepultura Sacred Reich Metal Church Machine Head Flotsam And Jetsam
My ex wife ! She didn't like hard rock or metal! We got married sold all my guitars amps etc, 16 years later and two boys later , I'm slowly recovering got my guitar gear now and it's much easier to learn songs now, Thanks to RUclips! I'm 55 now ! That's so cool that you're wife supports you! And I love your videos so informative! Thanks Ola we really appreciate you! And your wife is so great!
English word of the day: Splooting - when a dog lies on it's belly with it's back legs open. Thrash is the first genre of metal I got into. Everyone around me was listening to Guns and Roses and I was cranking Megadeth, Testament and Sepultura, they all said my music was satanic...Lmfao!
100% agree with you on Testament. Practice what you Preach is still, to me, one of the best opening album songs ever and one of my favorite riffs. Favorite Thrash band is......well I love THE BIG 4 (Metallica til Justice then I just like it) Testament and Exodus.
Testament fucking ruled (and still does)! Also Chuck Billie could roll a joint like nobodies business. Was great being into thrash, living in the SF Bay Area. ...that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Exodus was one of the first, if not THE first thrash band. Kirk Hammett started that band, yet people credit Dave Mustaine with creating thrash. Dave wasn't the only one playing this style of music. It was a movement, not just individuals. As for Slayer not evolving, they turned into something different when bands like Machine Head came out.
@@JesusLordOfLords455 Kirk was awesome in the 80s. He wrote and played melodic / memorable leads that fit the songs. People love to shit on him now, but he already proved himself back then.
Absolutely correct. People need to watch Murder in the Front Row. Kirk getting the props he deserves. If you’re old enough to know the real history you get it 👍
@@Dan_Ranger It's a really entertaining documentary. Highlighted how important Exodus was to the Bay Area scene and how much Kirk was involved in it all.
I agree Testament should not only be one of the top 4, but they should be number two on that list with slayer on top. I was listening to Mercyful Fate and Slayer before Metallica.
Thanks for mentioning Keator! They get no love, it would seem, but Millie & the boys have been krushing since day one! So thanks again!! (Testament 👶!)
Hear Hear! Testament is indeed the most underrated of all bands in the Thrash genre. If not the most underrated metal band of all time. Excellent commentary, great episode, you two! I've even got my "hair metal" wife into Sundays with Ola and Louise. (She says hi Louise) (but not hi Ola) haha
You forgot about the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Motorhead, Diamond Head, etc. Those are listed as a huge influence on thrash back in the day.
Loved this, Testament is one of my favs, Annihilator too. I thought you were more into Forbidden, Dark angel, Sacred reich and all that stuff, maybe another time... Btw, Pix is cute as heck!
I love watching you two do this show together! THIS is wholesome content. So happy for you and your family and glad that your decision to go full-time worked out the way it did. You deserve it, man!
Onslaught, Death Angel, Voivod, Anacrusis, Dark Angel, Exhorder, Flotsam & Jetsam, Legion of the damned, Nasty Savage, Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Sacred Reich, Skinlab, The Haunted,
It's kind of surprising you left out Pantera on this episode. Ola, and just to say this... I love the beginnings to my Sunday Mornings with you. I also love the new format of "SWOLA" and "Metal Morning" alternating each week. Keep up the hard work and remember how much fun we all have watching the both of you. Congratulations on the new member of the family!!
You still remain my favorite RUclipsr, and seeing you and Louise bond over music is amazing. You both rock. Seeing her reaction to Motorbreath was so cool
actually the term thrash came from skateboarding, they used to downhill and it was super adrenaline vibe so some dudes went to a slayer gig and someone said:" this is just like thrashin', cause it was fast and it got you goose bumps, adrenaline thing.
Morning everyone! Hope you have a great Sunday! Since this video is demonetized maybe consider getting some merchandise from www.olaenglundshop.com or something like that!
Great show as always xD I have a cup of questions for te next episodes
FAQ : I remember when you barely know about Megadeth and now seems you like it. I'm so glad to see that. Hope you dig and enjoy the rest of the dischography too. Did you become interested a llitle more in their albums ? wich is your favorite and why ?
Ohh and I have a Question for the Metal Morning with Louis.
- How was your first Date and, Did she see you playing live with your band any time before the first date ? Greetings from Argentina, We still waiting for the next The Haunted Tour !!!
Good morning Ola.
So now we get a pupper cam? and don't forget her bed...
Im liking the merch. Just placed 3 orders. Got different check outs there. Should expand a little bit more with the merch, some Bandanas and Hoodies would be a good addition. I gotta say man.

Done and done! Was planning on buying a merch or two anyway.
A wife with whom you can talk about thrash metal is a treasure
A wife with whom the bell tolls
Every musician should have a girlfriend or wife who loves music - if not, it's going to hold them back as musician and eventually they'll quit music. I've seen this happen too many times with musician friends.
I can talk about everything with my wife including my hobbies and what I'm into. Maybe you need to meet the right woman. Lol
I met my ex-wife on a gig of Lamb of God. She also worked on cars with me. This was truly a gift.
@@chrisking6695
Yeah Man, and your wife really knows smth about metal just like Louise ?
Ola you seem so happy having a dog in the house again, and she looks like she absolutely loves you guys. So great to see 😁
Did something happen to his previous dog?
Sepultura - Arise is still one of the best thrash albums ever made
Dead Embryonic Cells is probably the best song they ever wrote.
The whole song is meant for headbanging.
Beneath the Remains and Arise are very special Sepultura thrash albums. ARISE takes the lead by a hair, as it should being the natural follow up with the benefit of progression. Great band. QUADRA is the CD I have waited over 20 years for. Things went down when Max left, but I didnt automatically assume they would be awful without him.
Infected Voice is one of my favorite thrash songs ever. Brutal from start to finish.
Omg yes 👏🏽 🤘🏽
Arise is a gem. The first 3 songs are stellar and Under Siege is very underrated.
Agree 100% Testament didn't get enough love in the 80's and early 90's. They were so damn good and Alex Skolnick was just a level above other lead guitar players in the metal scene back then.

That's because they were a very good but derivative thrash band back then, they really found their own sound in The Gathering and have been great ever since. Sckolnick is definitely a world top 10 metal guitar player
Skolnick's playing is magical.
I still listen to Practice What You Preach to this day. One of my favorite albums of the genre.
@@heatnationwpb Practice and Souls of Black are two of my favorite albums of all time
WE NEED MORE OF THE DOG CAM
YES.
Give her a mic!
Budweiser dog
One of my favorite Thrash Bands that people forget about is Sacred Riech. Love those guys.
Sacred Riech was my first concert. They killed it! Stuck Mojo was the opening band
Yes! And they're still going strong, their last album is great!
@@martinperon4576 AWAKENING!! :)
Great band. Phil Rind is a personal hero and such a nice bloke to boot.
I know a place where we’re all gonna go... lol
Man testament's line up is like an all-star formation
Of damnation
@@RedSheap badass album
wishing a wonderful Sunday
You, too.
HAVOK. The "Time is up" album is so f..king good.
I was just going to post about havok lol
Pete Webber RULES forever!⛧🤘
😝
I missed Overkill! But great show. Thank you, you three awesome beeings!
I've always said it should be the Big 5 with Testament! Ola's wisdom strikes again!
Big 6 with Exodus too.
I’ve never been a huge Slayer fan: my big four is Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Testament. All but Metallica are playing a festival near our house in September and I can’t wait!

@@The.Adam.D ever get that solar???
So true Reign in Blood is the benchmark. Also...SOD Speak English or Die is one of thrash perfection in my book. Metal Church gets honorable mention.
Definitely check out Mr. Bungle's version Hable Espanol o muero, if you haven't checked out their new album yet.
Slayer no doubt about it. A reference in this game:)
SOD holds up now really well, totally
Speak English Or Die blew me away when I first heard it - it was faster, heavier and more intense than anything at the time.
Testament is 💯 the most underrated thrash metal band ever.
They are not underrated just overlooked. Such an amazing band!
Evile has entered the chat
Coroner
@@timbuk1126 they are in the Switzerland Big 4.
Testament with Skolnick made them my favorite thrash band. Alex's solos were magical little compositions.
Love thrash and love Power Trip. I'm a firm believer that one of the most important things that makes good thrash is that old school 80s sounding quality. The minute I heard Power Trip I was instantly in love.

Also, Steve "Zetro" Souza from Exodus was the original singer for Legacy, who changed their name to Testament prior to the recording of their first album.

Anyone else watching the Anthrax documentary parts they have been dropping lately? It's great!
You guys hit most, I love Forbidden. So over looked in my opinion. Your new album is so awesome!
Forbidden is amazing. Technical yet groovy riffs, excellent vocals... and just great songs.

Yeah Testament has nothing to prove to the "big 4". Respect.
Absolutely agree!
Chuck Billy got his own line of products now, too, like all good rock stars and celebrities in general should...
Well the reality is it's the "big 8" not just the big 4.
The big 8 not in any order:
1. Metallica
2. Megadeth
3. Slayer
4.Anthrax
5. Exodus
6. Testament
7. Kreator
8. Death Angel
Etc...
And don't forget, Kirk Hammett was the original guitarist of Exodus!
Damn right don't forget

All about Testament is just true. Forbidden also had a singer with a broad spectrum with his voice.
Forbidden Evil was a monster album!
Yea, would love to see them live
Even before “Stone Cold Crazy” and “Symptom of the Universe,” you had Deep Purple “Fireball.”

Their videos were in heavy rotation on MTV and they also had a series of mainstream crossovers like the famous collaboration with Run-DMC on their song "Bring the Noise" and a guest appearance on the episode of "Married With Children", but for some reason since the mid 90s their popularity started declining while the other 3 of the big four were successful at maintaining their relative popularity level throughout the rest of the 90's and early 00's and that's probably why people these days think of them as the 4th of the four, or maybe even undeserving of the spot in the big four. One thing that hit them really hard in the aftermath of 9/11 was the series of terror attacks with letters laced with anthrax that almost caused them to change their name.
They were NEVER going to charge their name.

A basket full of puppies...
That was CNN fake news.
Scott Ian has discussed this ad nauseam
Anthrax blew every performer away on the Big 4 DVD!
When I saw the Big 4 shows in 2011 Anthrax blew both Megadeth and Slayer of the stage. Anthrax has a stage prescence Deth and Slayer lacks..
@@mykuntstynx9463 Yeah, you're right. I misspoke when I said they almost changed their name. What I meant to say was that they were pressured to change their name because it became toxic after the series of anthrax laced mail terror attacks.
@@Grindermetalhead
It's all good buddy.
We're all just showing each other our derks around here anyway.
Lol
Seriously though, I only know about the basket full of puppies because of the documentary Anthrax has been uploading. I watched one episode last night and it was the episode that touched on this very subject.
I freaking love that dog. I think Bull Terriers are the most Metal dogs ever.
I'm absolutely not into metal, but it is really interesting how you talk/nerd out about the evolving of those metal genres! Thanks!
Awesome way to start the morning, thank you Ola and Louise and the super metal head pooch that you have, shes metal wagging mad!!!! YEA A! One trash band that had a huge impact on me and my friends was Destruction back in the day. Bestial invasion, what a great tune. #1 Was Metallica but closely followed by Anthrax, Exodus and Megadeth for us, then followed by Slayer and the regular non thrash bands like Priest, Maiden, Ozzy, Raven for us at least. Later on Dream Theater and Pantera. BUT< it all started with Black Sabbath for the metal era for my influences. Cheers Al
My Thrash Metal favorite bands:
Metallica
Slayer
Megadeth
Anthrax
Annihilator
Exodus
Testament
Overkill
Death Angel
Kreator
Sepultura
Sacred Reich
Metal Church
Machine Head
Flotsam And Jetsam
Power Trip man I love that album! RIP Riley.
Until this video I didn’t know the singer had passed away. Such awful news, I love this band.
@@stephenrochester6309 Very sad yeah man.
Awesome outro, Louise! You do an excellent job. ❤️🍻
My ex wife ! She didn't like hard rock or metal! We got married sold all my guitars amps etc, 16 years later and two boys later , I'm slowly recovering got my guitar gear now and it's much easier to learn songs now, Thanks to RUclips! I'm 55 now ! That's so cool that you're wife supports you! And I love your videos so informative! Thanks Ola we really appreciate you! And your wife is so great!
SLAYER rules but Overkill is a close second for me
Absolutely agree. It seems Overkill is never mentioned very often and they are absolutely incredible
@@farfly7 agree. no one mentions them but they have been around longer than the big four and still make thrash
@@farfly7
Maybe because they lost their momentum after Bobby Gustafson left.
My favourite metal genre to this day. Metallica's Master of Puppets was my gateway to all these other bands.
Thank you for bringing up annihilator, hella underrated band, and the whole alison hell album is fucking spectacular.
Hearing how metal brought you two young people together made my heart happy. Thanks for all the great content you deliver!
English word of the day: Splooting - when a dog lies on it's belly with it's back legs open.
Thrash is the first genre of metal I got into. Everyone around me was listening to Guns and Roses and I was cranking Megadeth, Testament and Sepultura, they all said my music was satanic...Lmfao!
Hey, anything that wasn't Barry Manilow was satanic, lol.
a good Corgi sploot is one of the most adorable things ever.
Never heard that term, but it sounds gross.
Texas Thrash - Devastation, Angkor Wat, Confused, Anialator and Rigor Mortis for example.
Rigor mortis fuckin kills...S.A. Slayer too
@@DSchea Damn I almost forgot about S.A. Slayer!
100% agree with you on Testament. Practice what you Preach is still, to me, one of the best opening album songs ever and one of my favorite riffs.
Favorite Thrash band is......well I love THE BIG 4 (Metallica til Justice then I just like it) Testament and Exodus.
Dude the transition between postmortem and raining blood is phenomenal
Testament is the most underated bands of all time.
Overkill is much more underated)
@@sykakrizis
And Death Angel are even more underrated than both of them.
Was always curious if ola had listened to annihilator and now I know. Best thrash band along with megadeth for me.
Dog is cute as heck too
You guys are so wholesome and real, I absolutely love it. Stay awesome!
Bands of my young days. I need to back to the Testament. I remeber they "Souls of black", thanks Ola you are my time machine!
Testament fucking ruled (and still does)! Also Chuck Billie could roll a joint like nobodies business. Was great being into thrash, living in the SF Bay Area. ...that's all I'm gonna say about that.
*Testament fucking rules!
fixed it for you. yw
@@rationalityfirst You right though, you right.
Exodus was one of the first, if not THE first thrash band. Kirk Hammett started that band, yet people credit Dave Mustaine with creating thrash. Dave wasn't the only one playing this style of music. It was a movement, not just individuals.
As for Slayer not evolving, they turned into something different when bands like Machine Head came out.
Hammett is a toss machine
@@JesusLordOfLords455 Kirk was awesome in the 80s. He wrote and played melodic / memorable leads that fit the songs. People love to shit on him now, but he already proved himself back then.
Absolutely correct. People need to watch Murder in the Front Row. Kirk getting the props he deserves.
If you’re old enough to know the real history you get it 👍
@@Dan_Ranger It's a really entertaining documentary. Highlighted how important Exodus was to the Bay Area scene and how much Kirk was involved in it all.
Congrats on the new addition to your Family. She seems Awesome!
awesome:)) loving this new serie ;)) thank you both 🎶
I agree Testament should not only be one of the top 4, but they should be number two on that list with slayer on top. I was listening to Mercyful Fate and Slayer before Metallica.
Exodus and Testament deserve more attention when we talk about thrash metal...
Impact is Imminent!!!
Thanks for mentioning Keator! They get no love, it would seem, but Millie & the boys have been krushing since day one! So thanks again!! (Testament 👶!)
Hear Hear! Testament is indeed the most underrated of all bands in the Thrash genre. If not the most underrated metal band of all time. Excellent commentary, great episode, you two! I've even got my "hair metal" wife into Sundays with Ola and Louise. (She says hi Louise) (but not hi Ola) haha
She is lovely. I wish I wish i could show my boy Nero (Rhodesian Ridgeback)
You forgot about the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Motorhead, Diamond Head, etc. Those are listed as a huge influence on thrash back in the day.
Also the uk83 hardcore punk bands like discharge etc
Loved this, Testament is one of my favs, Annihilator too. I thought you were more into Forbidden, Dark angel, Sacred reich and all that stuff, maybe another time...
Btw, Pix is cute as heck!
I love watching you two do this show together! THIS is wholesome content. So happy for you and your family and glad that your decision to go full-time worked out the way it did. You deserve it, man!
Onslaught, Death Angel, Voivod, Anacrusis, Dark Angel, Exhorder, Flotsam & Jetsam, Legion of the damned, Nasty Savage, Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Sacred Reich, Skinlab, The Haunted,
You have written a list.
Congratulations on your achievement.
Put some Set The world Afire -Megadeth
Totally gorgeous !! Good pick Ola and Louise !!!
Oh... the face of a man with his dog!!!! priceless. Beautiful Bull Terrier by the way
Man, y'all have some beautiful hair!
You're damned lucky to have a woman in your life that likes metal music. My girlfriend hates anything that's not country music.
Omg.. my deepest condolences
Time to move on... I ditched my last girl because of musical differences.. You will never be truely happy lol.
Indeed, run........to the hills lol
Leave her.
It's kind of surprising you left out Pantera on this episode. Ola, and just to say this... I love the beginnings to my Sunday Mornings with you. I also love the new format of "SWOLA" and "Metal Morning" alternating each week. Keep up the hard work and remember how much fun we all have watching the both of you. Congratulations on the new member of the family!!
You still remain my favorite RUclipsr, and seeing you and Louise bond over music is amazing. You both rock. Seeing her reaction to Motorbreath was so cool
The only thing that happens when you care what people think, is giving them POWER OVER YOU AND YOUR DECISSIONS.
very true, well said.
actually the term thrash came from skateboarding, they used to downhill and it was super adrenaline vibe so some dudes went to a slayer gig and someone said:" this is just like thrashin', cause it was fast and it got you goose bumps, adrenaline thing.
Fantastic episode with fantastic advice.
Loving watching the two of you on these!
Thanks
The new Addition (The Dog) is awesome.......Great Job!
