METAL MORNING 15 - BEST RIFFS OF 2021, OPETH, METALLICA 40th YEAR ANNIVERSARY

[@OlaEnglund]

Opeth demonetized us this time... Ah well you can still support us through www.olaenglundshop.com Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@yackohoopy]

@Ola Englund, “Nothing Compares 2 U” is actually a Prince song.

[@harshtruth9148]

Ola Myles Kennedy is known for collabing with Slash alot.....btw put some Fishman moderns in my Solar 1.6 blb, wow

[@chugmarks]

Oh Peth *hands on hips*

[@bob4763]

Jesus touch your heart

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

merry Christmas to you both also love the show

[@MATCHLESS789]

"Violence always works. One of my favorite instruments." - Ola Englund, 2021.

[@fretnetic9352]

Hahahah

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

I'm stealing that quote!!!!

[@lam0r666]

Nice!

[@szaki95]

Now i see that I'm not the only one who misheard it.

[@farfly7]

Why are these shirts not being printed?

[@andreasnilsson9806]

Myles Kennedy is the vocalist in Alter Bridge, and also plays guitar in Alter Bridge with Mark Tremonti, and as well as this, is the vocalist with Slash feat Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. He's a huge talent and one of my absolute favourite singers.

[@sebastian.brottman]

Alter Bridge is one of my faves. Such an underrated band, and the songs are fucking bangers

[@LuisUribeAranda]

I was surprised that they did not know Myles Kennedy , and they know very well Tremonti which is very related to Myles

[@timcobb1752]

you missed his work on the rockstar movie soundtrack

[@ayeapprove]

@@timcobb1752 Which song did he work on? He actually had a cameo in the movie but afaik he wasn't on the OST. The main song was sung by Mike Matijevic

[@Eric_01]

Don't forget his role at the end of the movie, Rock Star.

[@docsworld1369]

You go Louise!! Loving the bass being added and you are doing really well. Happy to see Ola mixing things up and having you in Metal Mornings.

[@murph9935]

Album review suggestion: Where Owls Know My Name by Rivers of Nihil

[@erikpjokstad]

Fuck yes

[@dani_montoro_gtr]

Masterpiece. The sax parts give it a very special vibe.

[@schecter7elite801]

Fuck yeah!! Such a good album. 🤟

[@inigolm1863]

What a masterpiece, album of that year for sure. One of my fav metal albums of modern metal.

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Review their newest “The Work” if anything

[@CharlieWinterTV]

You guys playing together was the most wholesome thing I saw this christmass. Thank you.

[@Mister_Bigglesworth]

My wife and I traveled halfway across the US to see that Tallica show. We were in line at the stadium between a couple from outside of Gothenburg and another couple from the town next to our home. It was great to see metal heads from across the world come together and have a good time. Happy holidays to you and your family!!!

[@davidlawson7786]

Merry Christmas Louise and Ola and kids and Family! I think that was the coolest intro ever on your channel. Great job on the bass Louise, good job Ola for getting Louise in on the jamming. That gave me the biggest smile, thank you 🙏 I’m playing my Ibanez baritone all day today, chug life is the best! Happy Hollidays and new year!

[@rotemshoshani424]

Dude That Opeth opening.. The keyboard translation was especially brutal. Happy holidays darling 😘

[@adnaneez-zarrad1187]

song name pls!

[@adnaneez-zarrad1187]

@Wylie Wildt 🙏🙏

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

You mean that Opethning?!? I'll show my self out of the comment section....

[@nicwilson89]

It's so wholesome seeing you two play together at the start

[@bradr9903]

Merry Christmas Ola, wife and everyone!

[@NoCantsAllowed]

So SICK having both the Englunds busting live tunes together for us!

[@dixiesteel9642]

To anyone who wants to know the name of the intro song it’s “heir apparent“ by OPETH, I hate when people are too cool to answer questions like that,

[@colinkennedy2580]

Thank you, Ola, for your content. In a very difficult and uneasy time in my life you offer up the positive and progressive feelings I can really benefit from. Happy Holidays 😊

[@frenchiesfrankieandhenry]

Blackwater park is probably the best metal album ever written. There is no other band that takes you on a journey the way opeth does.

[@frenchiesfrankieandhenry]

@AJ ! I like that album too. Lol

[@andresilvasophisma]

Myles Kennedy is the singer from Alter Bridge, and also sings with Slash. Edit Rick Beato did an interview with him not so long ago. He also appeared in the movie Rock Star with Marky Mark and Zakk Wylde.

[@HigzyTeflon]

This is quite possibly the most epic of openings to one of your uploads. Ever. Then there was the epicness of the SLEIGHER sweater......

[@eemelimakela9362]

Album review suggestion Vildhjarta - Måsstaden under vatten! The heaviest album of the year for sure.

[@lordgriffin50337]

Seen Archspire live before, I was sceptical as you are but they were incredible live and so tight, which is why they’re now one of my favourite bands :)

[@nickbuchanan958]

Thank you man. I thought for sure you wouldn't upload today with the holiday yesterday. Thank you guys happy new year. I'm gonna become a member now

[@jprodriguez5436]

Woke up now as a 40year old dude, and Ola&Louise played Opeth...life is goooooood!!!

[@DeathmetalSe7en]

I love you guys. Thank you for everything that you do.

[@denverrandy7143]

Merry Christmas Ola and Louise...and everyone!!!

[@Oilid]

Watched Archspire live: unbelievable and fantastic. They are machines!

[@Thecurlyhairedgoddess]

Would love to see them live one time

[@waynejames2014]

Merry Xmas and thanks for a fabulous year of vids and entertainment in 2021!

[@mariuszdziarkowski]

Happy New Year Ola and Louise🤘 Next album review suggestion: Redemptor-Agonia

[@joshbrock3094]

Louise is playing my solar bass looks and sounds great. I hope you all had a great holiday Josh Brock

[@harpy6540]

Louise is the real deal when you stop looking at what notes you're playing and you start bobbing your head to the music you're the real deal. What's up Ola I received my new solar super fast I appreciate your signature on a couple of the swag items like the starzinger album. I couldn't be more pleased dude this is a beautiful guitar I'm proud to own it by the way it should come with the disclaimer my fingers are fucking blistered lmao been playing like 10 hours a day.

[@harpy6540]

😥 I was editing my comment and you gave me a heart Ola, But you love my comment so fast I was in the middle of editing to correct one word and it took your love away I'm so sad no not really I'm very happy dude the guitar is awesome. But you tube did Rob me of the love from you oh well.

[@brunowilliam7529]

Album suggestions: Whitechapel - Kin, Slaughter to Prevail - Kostolom (you will love the slipknot influences) :)

[@toddgarman6732]

Merry Christmas Ola and Louise and family!! Look forward to this and SWOLA every Sunday morn, you guys are awesome!

[@РоманС-ц4э]

Great Opeth opening! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@jonemilpatrick]

What opeth song was that?

[@РоманС-ц4э]

@@jonemilpatrick Heir Apparent from Watershed if I am not mistaken

[@belgacemahmouda]

Myles Kennedy is a guitarist and singer and the lead singer in Slash, myles Kennedy and the conspirators

[@Artemwn7799]

Good morning, Happy Yule Ola and Luise... love the Sleighter jumper and your elvish look!!!

[@cosasDEguitarra]

Bufff!!!! what an intro!!! one of my favorite albums from Opeth!!!!! (the best part is when you play keyboards btw) xD

[@DarcMurkee]

I always have a big goofy smile on my face whenever Louise plays bass. It must be the guitar teacher in me.

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

That intro brings back memories, I get summer flashbacks since the record was released on summer and I got to meet Opeth at a signing for the release. Also had that cd wake me up as I programmed my stereo to start playing in the morning. Was mostly depressed that summer but still nice to have some summer memories pop up.

[@vigilante351]

Massive intro effort!! - Love the SLEIGHER jumper, their new Christmas song is really good Seasons Greetings of the Abyss hahah Louise looking very ELV-ish!! 'Tallica will always be one of the best bands of the Century honestly. I love all the others that are in the era, but MetallicA just keep on keeping on! They are pioneers for many big shows, particularly Antarctica....they really researched that trip and was very successful.

[@Thecurlyhairedgoddess]

Love that your Mrs is playing too. You guys rock🤘🤘🤘 merry Xmas

[@plotonisradd]

thank you Englund family , merry christmas and happy new year to you too !!!

[@X27REN]

Great show as ever Ola. Best riff of 2021 has to be what you played at the beginning of SWOLA 63. Totally kick ass!

[@kmate7304]

Merry christmas to you! A Carcass - Torn Arteries review would be nice next week!

[@danm8731]

Merry Christmas Ola ! Gonna grab myself a solar in the new year and give them a go. I can’t believe a band like Erra doesn’t end up in the top 10 for best metal riffs of this past year. Their new album had some pretty tasty riffs as far as I’m concerned , better then some on that list you went through .

[@madlipzjagd5378]

Mastodon - More than i could chew.

[@firmans12]

Merry Christmas Ola and the familia

[@Simonize41]

Thanks for my Christmas present - my favourite Opeth track!! Louise did a great job on bass. Merry Christmas! Love you guys🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@NeverlastingPeace]

Great opening 😁. Boas Festas.

[@belligerentamateur]

That blue Solar 😍. Merry Christmas / happy holidays, Ola!

[@freddymaite]

Happy holidays all! Thanks for all the great content this year. Looking forward to more Metal Morning jams!

[@richbriggs6053]

Alright loving the two of you, great intro tune! 👏

[@nickprutchick7222]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, you both are AWESOME together!!!

[@wrathsinful6389]

Man that intro brings me back to seeing Opeth with Enslaved at the Glasshouse. The pits erupted when Heir Apparent came on!

[@TheStrykerProject]

For some reason, I find it quite funny that Ola, a master KZbinr, isn't signed in to KZbin when showing clips. 😀Is that because he wants the ads to play for the content creators? 😉 Btw, the Sleighers song this year is awesome! I listed to it on the way to my dad's on Christmas day...I forgot to play it for him, though. I would have enjoyed it. p.s. I gave Archspire a listen since I've been following Dean on YT for a while, and I'm amazed and really dig their stuff. I can't speak for the drums, but if I didn't watch him live, on YT, playing along with the songs (with an occasional "oops"), and with him reading comments and replying, while playing, I wouldn't believe they could be that fast live, either. That band is mindblowing, really.

[@rexcassidy]

Myles used to sing with Tremonti and the old creed guys in Alterbridge. Did a couple albums with Slash too I believe. He’s also from my home town Spokane Washington.

[@cyface]

Love the opening jam segment!

[@retired_robot666]

Ola singing “happy new year” for a split second was hilarious 8:45

[@stefanassmann7082]

Glad to see you are still have a great holiday season. I also had a great Christmas season, but a little different this time. I was completely out of action for the last 14 days because of bad food and subsequent severe circulatory problems. 🙃 I'm feeling better day by day and am super excited to finally watch your videos again. I have a lot of catching up to do. 🙂 Keep up the fantastic content. 👍🏻 All the best

[@jarthursands]

Merry merry to you and your family Olga, thanks for the HOURS of entertainment through this F'd up year.

[@toemasmeems]

anyone else watch this midway through the week to get them through it? lol anyway love you guys

[@SirPraiseSun]

always a bomb video when ola opens with an operth riff

[@tragicallymalicious1]

Holy crap I can't believe you didn't know Myles Kennedy sings for Alter Bridge and Slash. He also has a cameo in the movie Rockstar.

[@MickH60]

Louise is a natural !!!

[@mefmo99]

Merry Christmas Louise and Ola and Kids! Hope you have a very good time! Ola, please review "Solitude In Madness" from Vader \m/ And, keep doing your as you do, its amazing! Greetings from Austria

[@ZoziSilveira]

Myles is singer and guitar from Alter Bridge, with Mark Tremonti as well. Myled is also the vocalist from Slash band!

[@ThrushCZX]

Album review suggestion: it's not a new album, but Dyscarnate's 2017 4th album 'With All Their Might' is a FANTASTIC album. Be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Plus it's only 40 mins so easy to digest!

[@Squiserker]

Super great and entertaining video again from the Englund gang! What about a review of the last Black Label Society album next time, Doom Crew Inc.? Keep the great work you're the bestsssss

[@Orion5141987]

Merry Christmas Ola! Your next album review should be Twelve Foot Ninja - Vengeance. Insanely good but eccentric prog metal band. I can’t stop listening to it.

[@Simonize41]

That segment with Toni Cornell did make me cry. As you said Ola, I miss Chris as well. It still seems unreal that he’s gone. I’ll have to check out Toni’s album. Love those close to you…. You never know.

[@mickholohan4266]

HEIR APPARENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good show guys. Have a happy holidays guys

[@endezeichengrimm]

The Sinead O'Connor song was originally written by Prince. 6:46

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ayyyye, she even improvised at the end 🤣 Rock on, queen..... _hot_ queen 😋

[@ballestero8785]

Animals (Architects) is also one of my favorite riffs of 2021. You should plug Josh Middleton more, he won 2020 for me as well with his other act Sylosis

[@flipitron]

Merry xmas and happy metal new year from mexico! 🤘

[@OlliLappalainen]

7:56 I heard "Violence always works for me"

[@onionheadguy7094]

I would also add spiritbox's Secret Garden, Mastodons Sickle and Peace, and Frozen Soul's Arctic Stranglehold to my top riffs of 2021!

[@johnnygearjammer]

An album I would suggest to check out is Forsaken by Slight Case Of Death. But we unfortunately have not recorded it yet lol

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

I would have picked Another World for Gojira. Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays.

[@ikestoddard2458]

Slayer == Sleigher! Lol! Great sweater! Happy Holidays!!!🎄🎄🎄🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ihatedill2447]

We're Opeth and we re from Sweden 🤘🏻

[@brendanflaherty6696]

It turns out that guitar rack in the Toni Cornell performance was her dad’s, from his last tour (goosebumps)

[@GuitarSafari1]

Awesome show. Metal Morning Forever 🤘🤘🤘

[@georgioskaratsoris7350]

Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🎅🏻

[@donaldstiles397]

Love the blue solar.

[@pritambanik7228]

Recognising Tremonti for Creed and not for Alter Bridge is a sin 🤣

[@Reject101Personal]

Considering they don't know who Myles Kennedy is I would if they even know that Alter Bridge exists

[@ChristianErikJurickovic]

For me pretty understanding asi I like Creed and do not like Alter Bridge at all 😂

[@pritambanik7228]

@@Reject101Personal yes. That too. Feels weird that he is unaware of Alter Bridge and Myles Kennedy in general. I mean he is quite popular face in the rock and metal community now that he even works with slash

[@TheEldenwhite]

AND I SAID OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@woblabla]

Why you stopped playing on bass in The Killers?!

[@backstageboxing954]

English bull terriers are renowned for their drumming skills 🐾

[@hawg427]

Merry Christmas Ola & Louise. A day late. LOL Ola, when your guitars are shipped what are they tuned to? I have been trying to get my EB JP-6 tuned to C# using 10-52 strings. So far all the strings are tuning up good expect the high E. When tuned to C# is it still sorta floppy. And yes, Louise is looking very impressive today, extra impressive ;-)

[@MalteDenHalte]

That blue solar guitar is so beautiful 😲

[@DEJ915]

That archspire really is phenomenal, it is somehow easy listening tech death but also insane at the same time lol.

[@craigsweeting507]

You guys , the thumbnail made me spit my beer out

[@Gizmo-st1ky]

Great show! Merry Christmas!

[@shredward666]

Ola, I watched your older video of you playing through a VHT Sig X with the incredible guest solo by Jeff Loomis. 🤪🤘I wanted to ask, have you played through a VHT pittbull? I recently acquired a 100CL and it shitstomps every amp I've ever owned. Curious to know what you think of this amp

[@Facilitate.Inform]

Hi Ola, can you do a "Will it Chug?" for GarageBand? I can't seem to use GB distortion/heaviness without weird buzz/static.

[@craigjamieson8109]

Ola, can you review the album Outlier by Twelve Foot Ninja?

[@Squi-Rell]

Merry Christmas to the Englund clan. All the best for 2022.

[@Metal_Auditor]

Ola, I know you got introduced to Band-Maid a while back. Did you listen to their "Unseen World" album that came out in January? It's got quite a lot of cool riffs on it.

[@motaudio7898]

Man she's getting solid!

[@matthewweston3973]

God jul! I recommend Erra's latest album for Ola to review, it instantly made Jesse Cash one of my favourite guitarists. Hope you can get him on Coffee with Ola as well in future!

[@flapjack413]

You never heard of Myles Kennedy? He sang from some band called Alter Bridge and has done a ton of collab stuff with Slash.

[@wakjob961]

Christmas for me last the whole week up until New Years...I get more in the spirit now that all the stressful parts are over.

[@TheEldenwhite]

Ola on guitar and drums, Louise on Bass. Ola, Louise and the Dog trading off vocals Mastodon style. Potentially the greatest album of all time.
