Freak Audio Lab - Quad Damage Konnakol

This guy is too cool for words...

[@guichaky3918]

Everyone: u need a pick in metal for the attack Mattias IA Eklundh: hold my taki ti ta

[@klaussteinberghaus8684]

4:31 I never knew Mattias's english accent would make me laugh so much, am I just here for the memes or am I here for the music? (why not both? it's 10/10 either way!)

[@MathRTD]

Your playing is so refreshing. I've been listening to your work since Art Metal and just recently I discovered you have an youtube channel, but everytime I listen to your playing I discover something new.

[@TheMisterD00D]

We love you Mattias and Freak Kitchen crew! Heres to Quake! Thanks for uploading so often these days! And I love your explanations and dialogue. Oh that sounds so good to the ears

[@Chrisbell804]

I discovered Shawn Lane Last year! I have been hooked on his Music, and I have been learning as much as I can within the realm of my abilities. Mattias Is amazing, and I assume he is inspired by Mr. Lane. I am now subscribed and I will be watching and listening closely so I can assimilate what I am able to, and what appeals to me! Mattias seems incredibly humble, considering his astronomical skills! Thank you for this channel sir!! 🎸🎭🥁🕊🏴‍☠️😎💜🌎

[@sQSZeSV61EU4hyUka2oIx]

I love this guy

[@kashtonemiliano7054]

You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@royalmakai4956]

@Kashton Emiliano Instablaster =)

[@kashtonemiliano7054]

@Royal Makai thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kashtonemiliano7054]

@Royal Makai It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

[@royalmakai4956]

@Kashton Emiliano Happy to help =)

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Honestly fantastic, really reminiscent of Quake's industrial music past as well. I'm honestly not sure how I wasn't a subscriber to your channel before, but all is remedied now. ❤️

[@samuel_david_85]

That fretboard makes me think I'm drunk :) Super impressed with your knowledge of Indian classical percussion. Love from India. Keep the gaming going!

[@snow5772]

the description haha also, every time the talkbot says "Freak Audio Lab" its super funny and i dont know why

[@swingthestatue]

"Pickup harassment" - new t-shirt in the making?!

[@CommunistRainbowdash]

It also perfectly describes how Quake players fight against each other

[@paulweber9945]

Well, you old geezer. The mention of konnakol has won you a new fan (even I'm not a huge fan of ultrabass djent tones). Loving the rythms and scales - thank you for the music and the inspiration!

[@oliver24x]

Thank you so much for giving QC the exposure it needs! It's an amazing game, so of course an amazing man is playing it too!

[@ignaciojauregui7423]

The examples needs to be a song, holy fucking fuck, so tasteful, truly inspiration, and the videos are so fun to watch, just amazing

[@JamesFenczik]

thank you for always sharing your creativity! incredible inspiration.

[@stevenkoski228]

Nothing wrong with playing video games, regardless of age. They help maintain/improve your focus & reaction speed. Andy Timmons did a track for the Duke Nukem game. Just keep bringing us the freak, & you’ll be fine!🏆😎.

[@kuringmundo]

hes like a really Scandinavian Dimebag

[@loganstriker2973]

Totally different energies between the two.

[@rao1087]

Why is the need to compare anything with dimebag , jeez ...this dude has nothing to do in is approach to music , with him

[@erwinm.mutaqqin4559]

I thought Viking fighter 😅

[@danepresley7851]

Ok I think you are the greatest guitarist/musician of this century hands down

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Back to the drawing board for me :D

[@zantrex4]

Loved this video, sir. It's great to learn more about what inspires you and to learn more about you as a person. Incredible guitarist, and a seemingly fun and great guy all around!

[@tonivesala9137]

So glad you're putting now more these videos out :) so educating and entertaining at the same time.

[@TheEleventeen]

Thank you Mr. Eklundh ! This video made my day ! You officially became my most favorite guitar master !

[@DragonFlopp]

I would really love a konnakol tutorial series or something. I've tried looking into it a little and it's a kinda tricky to find good resources for it.

[@AttitudeCastle]

There are some great youtube channels and books out there about just Konnakol, get stuck in but really nothing beats the practice.

[@DragonFlopp]

@@AttitudeCastle What channels would you recommend?

[@joesloan2207]

My mind is blown wide open. Thank you for the Intel and groove.

[@philipw3975]

Awesome, thx a lot for all these videos

[@iamalpharius9483]

Ive been doing the same thing on my fretless Jazz bass for years. Setup with distortion, delay and a flanger effect to sound like a klaxon siren. I pluck the open E and let it ring for a whole note then, with my palm slam the open E down onto the Duncan quarter pounder in passive. It gives a repeating echo of a small pop,pop,pop,pop....for 5 repeats then a whole rest and stop...and again.... Great effect.

[@samuelxander]

You should do a collaboration with mick gordon for the new doom eternal, food for thought

[@Necroparalyze]

A true 100% elite quad damage guitarist! Mattias Eklundh 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sutt5828]

Your off your head Haha love it. Massive fan of the cap guitars too man. Defo will grab some tricks off you cheers dude.

[@Nilavoable]

Good job portraying indian scale and rhythm pattern .. these are mainly used in classical dance music but played out nicely in metal ... Good job

[@zackcastanares6608]

al fin entendí uno jajajja... que grande que sos!!!!!!! Nunca me aburro y siempre algo se aprende...

[@radorado666]

Jesus Mattias, just when I thought you couldn't get more awesome, it turns out you're playing my favorite game. I gotta get back to the arena in the hopes of getting a frag in ;)

[@mishegaz]

Of course you would play QC, love it hahaha. That's another reason to get back into the game 😋

[@Soloist1983]

Seriously one of my newfound, favorite, guitarplayers

[@seabeast3965]

Legend

[@garyrsingleton]

I am so happy to see another musician using Konnakol or Bols. I haven't utilized those since college. I used to study tabla a little bit and is really awesome but really complicated with how they truncate things.

[@EpicJonT]

Quake 2 veteran and Smorgasbord and John Carpenter fan here 😂, love your work Mattias ❤️👍 - I also play Big Machine every now and again, love that.

[@cigilovic]

He's the most unique guitar player of all times, no one is close to his freak mind :)

[@mattias_ia_eklundh]

You make me blush, sir. :)

[@kevinjv7266]

It's awesome how videogames each year inspire more and more how things are shaped. Keep working on it dude!

[@adrianertl9183]

I also share the love of guitar and video games, keep your videos coming, earned yourself a new sub!

[@govindoburdwan]

you are an inspiration...lots of love from India !

Loved this, IA! Great to see the cat is out of the bag. Also, your meat metronome now makes a very convincing click sound!

[@MrTubularBalls]

Very cool stuff, and that guitar is a monster!

[@ModernDecay70]

Been gaming since the first video game Pong. I grew up in game rooms and pool halls where I also saw a lot of bands. I'm 50 now and I still game, always will.

[@mattias_ia_eklundh]

Tiptop!

[@stonerdemon]

So he didn't fart at 0:44 . He said later on the video that the carpenter did :D

[@donaldbest7621]

Excellent!

[@JoseJr1977]

Hey there what´s up? You should have this Konnakol or Tha Ka Dhi Mi Ta as a backing track. Cheers from Brazil!

[@guitarcookbook]

[@MrDonc78]

Anyone remember the Unreal arena that was an apartment? I used to play that one for days on end. Quake, Doom, and anything else ID put out then was what I played in the early 90s too. Oh yeah, Sierra games when the creator of secrets of nimh was writing for them. Man this brings me back! 😂

[@kungflucious2144]

You mean the one that was a downtown with tall buildings, but they were all open?

[@kungflucious2144]

I never could find that one on any of their consoles. That arena was a free download patch in like '96/'97 for the pc Unreal Tournament v. of that year. (the free to play one)

[@MrDonc78]

@@kungflucious2144 no this one was just the inside of an apartment. You could go in the oven, ductwork, tv stand..etc. I think I remember what you're talking about tho

I can be ur Quake teacher if u become my guitar teacher :DDDdd

[@chickenbeek]

So funny. So i posted the Quad Damage vid in Discord, and this is what i said "he put this on youtube last night, i think he did it to spread awareness of the game cause he said he loves it so much" :D On a side note and related to guitar. I been playing QC since second weekend of closed beta. Recently i'm starting to get bad arthritis in my left ring finger :( Just started noticing it one day, it hurts to bend it and is getting swollen and misshaped.. It's not from only Quake, it's age, and hereditary i guess, but i don't think those sunday all day Sacrifice marathons helped. Sadly i think my shred days are numbered. I have cut back on the Quake in the last month. And when i play it hurts so i know that probably hasn't helped over the last few years.

IA is slowly turning into a Scale Bear himself

[@theohwlf]

I dont deserve to watch that while drunk

[@HurtboxTV]

Somebody get Mick Gordon to call Mattias and put him in some of his game soundtracks.
