FAQ67 - Kirk Hammett, Audio Interfaces, Avengers, Dimebag Influenced Guitars

[@OlaEnglund]

Counting how many subscribers I will lose because of my Avengers comments. Anyway thanks for being a subscriber and maybe I'll see you another time!

[@psychochicken9535]

Its actually gone up (looking at the sub count on the video vs. sub count on the channel).

[@Alexanderzzzzon]

Ola Englund Subcount gone up 2000 since the recording of the video 🤘🏻

[@JaMeshuggah]

Based and redpilled Ola has the correct view on capeshit

[@jordandillow5208]

I personally disagree but I can see how people can dislike the MCU movies

[@AlienFrequency]

That’s ok, Ola. I don’t care about comic books or superheros, in the slightest, let alone movies about them. Also, Mario + Rabbids, Doom, Bayonetta 2, Celeste and Smash are some other good Switch games.

[@OlaEnglund]

FYI I bought Diablo III for switch...

[@rmenes]

Try Ys VIII

[@UnluckyJack]

If you like shooters, buy Enter the gungeon. Every map is randomly generated and it's pretty hard.

[@AchtungNow]

Buy Celeste, great hardcore platformer with meaningful story. You will love it!

[@Warlock_UK]

Does Diablo III play offline / work on flights?

[@OneShotdeathCrew]

Diablo 3 is awesome, own it on ps3, ps4, and PC. I prefer the pc version by leaps and bounds.

[@MrFreezeMusic]

I will only buy the album if there is the kitten artwork on it.

[@Cicaguns]

workin on it!

[@ArendtMusic]

Hi Ola. I agree with you regarding PostNord. They are also here in denmark, and i've experienced the same thing as you sooo many times. One time they gave me the "We visited you, but you werent home, come to the postoffice... blah" message. i WAS home, the postoffice had closed, and then the weekend came... and i needed that guitar cable!!!

[@aaronfranklin515]

What are your thoughts on what happened with Cannibal Corpse's guitarist Pat O'brien? What do you think Cannibal Corpse will do without him now?

[@skatterpro]

Considering the content in the facebook discussion group, I doubt Ola wants to speculate on things like that. The dude needs help, lets just leave it at that.

[@aaronfranklin515]

@@skatterpro Considering we are on KZbin and not Facebook and not everyone uses Facebook, it was fine for me to ask. If Ola doesn't want to speculate or answer then that is fine by me.

[@clutchmasters3402]

Well... theres only 3 guys for rhe job. Rutan, jack and ola. But we must have cannibal corpse.

[@Djentfan420]

They will hire ola

[@dr_phil_atio]

You don't have to apologize for earning money with your music and your channel. We're glad you do, because that helps you recording more stuff and making cool new series. Keep up the good work!

[@MartyDadRiffs]

Hammet gets a lot of shit for his tone and overuse of the Wah. But dude has some of the most memorable solos in metal history.

[@dallasbridgwater8097]

John Kravitz wahs wrong with that? 😂

[@hinjurock70]

@John Kravitz Not true. "Enter Sandman" is probably the most popular Metallica song, and the original solo had wah all throughout it.

[@hinjurock70]

@John Kravitz Yes they do - Kirk uses wah all over the Master Of Puppets album: Go listen to the solos for Battery (one of Kirk's most ripping solos, and he uses wah from start to finsh) , Damage Inc, and The Thing That Should Not Be.

[@peevee605]

Kirk Hammet’s most memorable contribution to Metallica is the riff for Enter Sandman but all solos with a wha makes me throw up.

[@ellleigh1216]

Princess mononoke is incredible, the hand drawn back drops are beautiful and very impressive

[@yargnad]

Howl's Moving Castle was too. I got to see that in the theatre. Talk about great movies that put Marvel and DC to shame.

[@ellleigh1216]

Howl’s Moving Castle is amazing! Controversially, I’m not sure if I prefer dubbed or subbed, I mean Christian Bale is awesome as Howl. Haha totally agree, love my super hero movies, but none of them are as thought provoking as a good old Ghibli film.

[@alexmcgrath674]

hey OLA, I need to be more METAL, so how do i become a swede. is there some kind of ritual?

[@lfox02]

One can only be born Swede, but an HM-2 is a good start.

[@DanielM196]

Buy an hm2 and play an entombed song and I'm pretty sure you just turn swedish immediately

[@andersengman3896]

Det hjälper säkert att lära sig ärans och hjältarnas språk. ;)

[@emilianosg8385]

Take a lot of LSD until your mind starts to create multiple personalities, one of them can be Swedish and maybe another a Norwegian, and you can start a fight between them, lots of fun!

[@hinjurock70]

Swede emotion.

[@cflowers69]

This channel is without a doubt, my favorite part of the internet. Always feels like this guy is just one of us, and could be right in the neighborhood.

[@John_Hamhock]

I wish I could subscribe twice just for the Marvel comments alone. Also, Outlaws.👍

[@goatsurgeon]

22:04 Hahaha You’re a fun guy, Ola. That’s why everyone loves your FAQ. It’s the interaction and the hilarious shit that happens, people are going to come back more and more for that.

[@comand0Metalero1]

Maybe an E shape with floyd rose as a 'dimebag' tribute?

[@akchamurat]

Love your effort & labor both in your videos, bands & what you are up to with Solar guitars. Your musical perspective has become one of my primal inspirations along with K. Merrow, M. Mansoor, J. Browne & all the other great spirits. So here is my question; any plans for expanding the options specially for the 7 string Solar’s? Maybe adding mapple fretboards, different top woods & colors? I’d love to become a proud owner of a bunch of ‘em! :) Hails & cheers from TR!

[@pal7316]

Hey Ola, where did your left arm tatoo go ??

[@Shredhead1979]

Was thinking the same thing

[@AuntieTrichome]

Muzik It got scared after Ola burped.

[@bgest]

it was a fake pantyhose tattoo sleeve thingy... google it

[@MickZarco]

I knew it was a sleeve, it looked weird.

[@kamilkowalczyk4258]

Whatever, it looked terrible xD

[@donnythei]

Man princess mononoke is one of the best! Love that movie

[@toddclorox2855]

The Marvel movies aren't amazing, but how about the dumpster fire of DC movies lately?

[@balazstoth2753]

I think the DC movies are better actually. (Just watched Aquaman and i found it amazing). Also they are not flooding the market with movies.

[@thebatman1482]

@@balazstoth2753 BvS and Justice League are among the worst comicbook movies of recent time. And Joss Whedon is not even responsible for the latter, cause even Snyder's bits were god awful.

[@toddclorox2855]

@@balazstoth2753 In fairness I haven't seen Aquaman and Wonder Woman was watchable. Everything else is trash.

[@balazstoth2753]

@The Batman: I liked BvS, but to be honest when i came out the cinema first i had this wtf effect. I had to watch it a couple of times and i started to like it, even more after i watched the extended version. Wonder Woman is alright, Aquaman as i said i foundd amazing, Justice League was not that good i agree, Suicide Squad was shit. Watchmen was genius though.

[@ezet]

I just like the comedy movies, like Ragnarok, Deadpool and Guardians. They work at that, but they really don't have what it takes to work as a serious movies

[@joanaguilo]

Hi Ola, thank you for keeping me positive with your positive attitude. Some time ago I saw you in Platja d'Aro with your family, and I did not want to bother you like a crazy fan (hysteria, screams, tears and photos). You have a nice family and you are doing things well. Keep it up, you are a reference as a professional and, more importantly, as a person. Cheers from Barcelona!

[@Rhyalex]

You should start calling Coffee with Ola "COla"

[@s.davies3600]

Hello Ola, I have pre-ordered the guitar edition bundle of your solo album, I can't wait to hear and learn your tracks! Since subscribing you have inspired me.......and now I have spent lots of my hard earned cash on guitar gear, some of it yours!!!!

[@perkollin8691]

Hej Ola, Do you prefer the Fortin Nameless Suite or the Fortin NTS Suite? Skål!

[@lennartstrack9773]

I totally agree on Adrian Erlandsson! What a hell of a drummer! I remember the Nord Open Air gigs of The Haunted and At the Gates, both on the same day and he made the drum riser shake on both shows, fucking amazing!

[@Pimpmobil117]

Ola, my question for the next FAQ: Whats your opinion on the new Dream Theater single ? ( I have seen ur comment on their vid so i guess u like it ?)

[@jasonsmith-hp6fj]

wow love that you mentioned Psycroptic.they are from area in Tasmania.which they are hardly known but are known over the world.great guys too.

Dear Ola, unfortunately, I had to cancel my membership due to changes in my life (opening a business) and a serious need to save money. I was a member from day 1 and will always be a subscriber and I plan on becoming a member again when I can afford it (the perks and extra content are really awesome). I love your content and what you bring to KZbin. Thank you for going the extra mile to make your subscribers feel appreciated.

[@poulwinther]

Was a huge marvel comic book fan when I was young and to have all those high production movies come out is like an impossible dream come true. Except you're completely right Ola: The movies just suck! Way too many characters with no personality and way too many 'epic' battles with everyone always stronger than everyone else. Dumb stories drowned in indifferent CGI orgies. Dreadful! R.I.P. Stan Lee.

[@hinjurock70]

Same here, and I agree. The first few X-Men movies were great though, and Iron Man and Thor were pretty damn good.

[@ashleymerylweber]

[@robedwards2830]

Plus one for Princess Mononoke! It's a fantastic film!

[@CureEclipse11]

Hi Ola! The Slaughtered riff is a tough one, but given that it's in standard tuning (with the usual 1/4 drop), I guess in the first bar Dime used, like you've done in the FAQ, the 1st fret as the root note (when he played the other notes on D strings), then the open E string (with other notes being in A string)...or something like this. It's a hell of a riff to put down!

[@felivalen94]

I have always noticed the video games that you have as a wallpaper and many of them are my favorite games but I never expected that Outlaws could be one of them! you are amazing bro! Greetings from chile!

Hi Ola. Been following you for some time, now and have to say I really like your videos. Because of you I tried the Mercuriall Plugins and loved them. Bought the ss-11x and I'm freaking amazed by it!

I love the color of that guitar.

[@mariocasallas]

Ola is so much fun to watch, är fantastisk !!

[@Goosebear77]

I heard that Crocodile song in the car with my friends and their kids the other week!! There was another song about Sharks eating people. A two and a half year old singing girl singing about blood gushing everywhere is pretty Metal!!!

Nothing like ola Englund the sweed to keep me company on a long late drive, after a gig.

My girlfriend was sitting outside waiting for post-nord in the summer because they called and told her the package would be here soon. Then 30 minutes after they were supposed to get here she got a message that they delivered the package at the post-office.

[@jasonwatt621]

Ola, I dunno what kind of games you're in to, but if you like RPGs, Octopath Traveler is a must-have. It's probably the best thing on the Switch, in my opinion.

[@riccardoaletti77]

Hi Ola, here's an idea for some videos. Once you said that you'd like to do more covers so what about covering every pantera from Cowboys From Hell to Reinventing The Steel? Most of the tabs that you can find on the internet are wrong so you can try to show the right way to play some of the most beautiful metal songs ever written. Dimebag is the reason why I start playing guitar so i'd really like to learn the songs I love in the proper way. Really love your videos because they show that if you work hard enough you can live doing what you love to do. P.S. after FAQ 67 i'm saving money for an ML shaped Solar :)

[@LuisPellicano]

What up, Ola? Luis from Brazil here. Just checking to say I freaking LOVE your tone with Feared and Svart is one of the most beautiful things I've ever head (thanks to Mario too). I plan to get a Solar guitar one day, since you're responsible for making me eager to write and play heavy metal again. I thank you for that! By the way, any plans (or wish) to fly down here for a Feared tour or a Solar workshop of some sort? Keep up the great work, you make me learn a lot laugh hard on your silliness, it helps me a lot going through harsh days like these. Keep on being great.

[@longwordsonsongwords]

Finally! Someone who shares my opinion of the Marvel movies!

[@ZachComa]

I have a Focusrite and it sounds fine, it can also take a guitar directly without a DI box. They're not top of the line, but you can definitely get great sounds from one. That guy must be using his wrong. I use Glenn Fricker's IR pack from Lancaster Audio, they're $50 and has every mic type, cab, and mic position combo that any metal player could ever need.

[@TyGuirius]

OMG Outlaw!! I spent so much time on this game when I was young!

The return of the color changing guitar!

[@OfficialFistikunch]

Mr. Ola, May i recommend The Binding if Isaac for the switch? It’s a game that has a lot of replay value and alone you will put in a lot of hours in no time! I think you would enjoy the music,art style, humor and the darkness of it!

[@lukepurtee7706]

The ML shape on a solar guitar sounds badass, I would give that a try.

[@Decreate]

I like how the video is now available in 1440p 50.

[@rodrigogouvea7107]

Idea for the 'ML' solar guitar shape: merging the V and E models' body shape! The 'rear spikes' from the V shape, and the 'front spike' from the E shape!

[@Robster-Craw]

I use 11-56 ghs and sometimes 12-60. If your truss rod is set right and your action and intonation set up right and everything it makes the strings feel right. its when the tension is in the wrong spot it makes the strings much too high and hard to use the bigger strings.

[@lowalkoroc]

Uhmayzing. Jerry is one of the most tasteful rock guitarists of all time. I don't think he has ever played a bad solo, every note is exactly what the song needs. His riffs are killer too. He was my main inspiration for learning how to play nearly 30 years ago.
