In 96 I managed to mosh my way to the front of the megadeth crowd. Dave said “this next song is about f’ed up relationships.” I was so charged up all I wanted was take no prisoners, so I kept screaming it over and over. He looked at me and said “take no prisoners isn’t about F’ed up relationships you f’in a$$hole.” I couldn’t have been more proud of myself.

[@1Deep43VA]

Lol. To be fair, they have their setlists made in advance. I doubt he could play it on command. Unless it was suppose to play later in the set, but still…

[@petyralorikk6925]

Take no prisoners is definitely not about fucked up relationships hahahah that's a hilarious story though.. what did they play next? In my darkest hour?

Revolution Is my Name was in Total Guitar when it came out all tabbed out and being a fan and learning guitar at the time it was something I jumped on...so many riffs and that crazy intro!

[@jonnierobes1192]

My favorite Dime riff is the bridge in "Primal Concrete Sledge"

[@sb632]

Intro song is one of my favorites you've done. And I still am in love with the new carve top.

[@RasmusYde]

The Pantera riff that I always think of when speaking of the band is totally the intro/chorus to "I'm Broken".

[@DEADITEDAN]

The trailer for the premiere is a cool addition. You never disappoint Ola. Always putting so much effort into all that you do and constantly stepping up your game. Very inspiring. I always greatly look forward to, and enjoy your content. 🤘

[@theinfinitecalling]

22:11 Man, I felt that way for a little while during my guitar-playing journey, but have come around full circle. Playing guitar is like meditation for me nowadays; I embrace the excitement and joy of going deep within and engaging in creative expression just for the sake of doing it no matter the circumstance. I like to approach playing with the mindset of playing and feeling my guitar with all my mind, body, and soul and letting go. At least that seems to always bring that spark of inspiration to me. All of this to say: Ola, you still play guitar like you have that same kind of fire and excitement! You absolutely deserve to feel that excitement and I hope you discover it again sooner than later! I can't wait to listen to #TheChugProject. #theinfinitecalling

[@sallyis6084]

Very stoked about the Chug Project. As an adult I still get excited about new (or just new to me) music!!

[@supersaabclaire]

Yes dude! Celebrating the riff!!!! Can't wait for the chug project!! Love the artwork!!!

[@pharris125]

Two things: A) I think a cool idea for all the guitars that you unveil on show, you should sign the back of the headstock before sending them back and a random lucky person will get it. Unless of course you keep them. Just a random idea. B) Favorite Pantera riff - I'm Broken - When I was in middle school back in the 90s I used to race BMX and I remember having one of those riding videos that just shows a ton of pro BMX riders racing and stuff. I hit play on the video and that was the first riff on the video itself. I was immediately blown away and remember sitting there with a blank look on my face and thinking "I don't know what the hell this is but I think I just found my favorite band." Still my all time favorite band to this day!!

What's up with the Chug Project art? Without my glasses on, Pix looked like a tan guitar you were playing when actually petting him in the floor, listening to the test vinyl. 😁Inspired to crank Reinventing the Steel today. Finally, your videos, but mainly the launch of Solar Guitars, re-encouaged my guitar playing in my mid 50's, like teenager all over again ❤

[@trevinormatt]

The Mouth For War verse riff is definitely up there for me, but #1 is the little breakcaround a minute into Primal Concrete Sledge. So many great Dimebag riffs, though

[@demondrive147]

20:54 reminded me a section from COB's medley "Bodom After Midnight / Bodom Beach Terror" from Chaos Ridden Years (4.37).

[@jamesthrower4552]

Same Ola, that bridge riff for This Love has always been a riff that I love. When I listen to the song and it builds to that riff, I'm 18 again losing my shit.

[@Phillisteum]

6:02 🤣 Did not expected tha face! 🤣🤣🤣 It's great seeing people being themselves and having fun!

[@TheNothing6]

Mustaine is so humble

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

"Who ate all the (humble) pies? Dave Mustaine."

[@Nightbreed82]

Mustaine is the most humble guy he knows, just ask him.

[@andrewsmall4865]

I've never liked Megadeth and Mustaine has always seemed like a total ass. I find it hilarious that virtually every article about him mentions him being kicked out of Metallica. I hope it grinds his gears.

[@tomfoolery8015]

Humble like Trump is humble 😂

[@westywest4480]

Like or hate him. He's not wrong. Just try to do what he does it fucking hard.

[@MartinvonBargen]

Nice bit of Drop A# L.I.K. tribute in the first few bars of the opening riff. 🤘🤘

[@jeffrobinson2141]

That’s my favorite song of Reinventing too! 🤘 it was my go to on the jukebox

[@nicksites]

Yes! That Dimebag riff was also used in Will To Survive demo song on the remastered Cowboys From Hell album and it’s my favorite as well!

[@thossii]

The ending to Floods has to be my favorite I think, just a killer vibe to end the song 🤘

[@lucdroid8707]

Thanks for the video. Very entertaining and I'm really enjoying your channel. Cheers

[@kcmyers]

Saw Megadeth in Melbourne Wednesday night, Mustaine is a beast on the axe

[@davemowers7827]

BS!! I loved the intro Riff!! One of my favorites so far. KEEP GOING!!

[@thetrentmeister]

That bridge tiff you played from This Love was the first one I thought of too. Such a great riff. Well played, Ola.

[@jesspruitt499]

That was the Dime riff I was hoping Ola would play!! I struggled forever to figure that out.

[@Phillisteum]

Chug project sounds amazing!🖤

[@rynoriffs1984]

I totally get what u mean Ola with getting older and music not effecting me like it used to, I’m another one that had there mind blown with Pantera, good times bro. 🤘🏽👊🏽

[@richardcochrun3869]

Another swola in the books. Thanks Ola for bringing joy to my early Sundays!🤘🏻

[@Deathmetaldaddy79]

As always, killer job my man. Have a great week. See ya next Sunday!!🤘🏻

[@MissLadyLupa]

I am so excited for the Chug Project!!

[@DCkevantnet]

A good trick for singing and playing at the same time is I record it first and then hear it in your head as you play. As for my favorite Dimebag riff, it's gotta be the post solo one.

[@alexh3153]

Intro had a cool damage plan tone to it, very nice 👌🕺

[@DoomManJJ]

honestly, about a year ago. i was still hesitant on picking up guitar until i relistened to that break down in domination. it is such a core memory to me. hearing that and just remembering myself when i was younger wishing i had long hair to head bang with. That solo as well is just so nice. that is still my favorite pantera song next to 5 minutes alone

[@zalezmetal5150]

It happened exactly the same to me with that "This Love" post chorus riff man!!, I spent hours practicing.....first time I listened this riff in a casette I was like an hour playing back and re-listenning those 30 secs!!😁

[@tylergrant-peters4563]

As soon as you said something about an overlooked song on RTS I immediately thought of "it makes the disappear". I've always thought that was arguably their heaviest song

[@ronniejacobsen3000]

I'm 43 and still get excited for discovering new music!!!! You need to work on that Ola!!!!!!

[@JasstoJazz420]

I love waking up on Sunday to have coffee with Ola on SWOLA. This was a good one.

I was having a little somewhat bleak Sunday, but PERKELE JÄKEL - I am smiling now and my long hair is also shining more!

[@grecog92]

man these makes me feel so damn good afterwards. thanks for putting them out ola, it's always an half an hour well spent

[@BarnyardTheSilverback]

The mosh riff in Mouth For War is probably my favorite. That song as a whole is so badass.

[@andysalter7192]

Yes , yes it is !

[@carlangaspotter]

yesssssss

[@Nightbreed82]

23 years since Reinventing The Steel was released?? It's still a new release in my mind. I can envision the CDs on the end caps in Best Buy like it was yesterday. Take me back to 2000...life was better then.

[@sysop007]

Reinventing the Steel is in the top 2 of their best albums. Uplift, grind that axe.. 🤘🏼 😊

[@Magnum5160]

My favorite dime riffs happened to be exactly the two ola picked, in the same order.

[@r0hko]

Need to hear you cover It Makes Them Disappear, Ola!! I was so stoked hearing you mention it as a sleeper on the album.. it’s easily a top 10 song for me 😎

[@ericvernon1182]

That opening riff is so crushing!!!

[@NeurodivergentMetal]

Ola's impression of Mustaine never gets old, always look forward to it when Megadeth is in the news, cracks me up every time.

Just pre-ordered the Chug Project cd!

[@vovindequasahi]

Great riffs!! Throwing darts at a poster of someone you consider a wimpy "poser": METAL!! Apologizing personally for it later when you've gained some wisdom throughout the years: EXTREMELY METAL!!

[@kaynesantor8136]

I liked the last riff. Chug life, baby.

[@michaeleaster1815]

10:25 There's a popular YT video of a concert audience in Argentina singing the _guitar riff_ to Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction

[@Capitan_Chaos]

Ola, saw Vader last night and one of them was playing a solar guitar and it sounded so brutal.

[@allengarrow6295]

Seriously Ola! You write the best riffs! Even your “shitty” riffs sound great! I’m a big Scott Ian fan and you are in that same category of guitarist who write riffs that are heavy, catchy and take the listener somewhere!

[@lecorsaire2283]

Scott Ian has a great right hand, but the majority of Anthrax’s stuff was written Charlie believe it or not.

[@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo]

Got to agree with that riff, I love the way the drums sync with it.

[@joshhellstorm184]

Ya, I agree on dime riffs I love to many but that one is something when I was younger that was stuck in my head I'd walk around school playing it with my mouth lol and thanks again Ola picking my question. Also, I love alot of riffs of power metal album to haha

[@stepitupandgo67]

The gibson les paul jr is pretty much my dream guitar...I want to get a vintage one someday

[@RyanCowley_]

Favorite Pantera riff, easy… the double stop breakdown in Primal Concrete Sledge. still to this day I hear that and want to immediately pick up a guitar.

[@chrisloud1976]

Nice work Ola, the Chug Project sounds awesome🤘

[@brandonjackson5865]

I didn’t know It makes them Disappear was a hidden gem , it was one of my favorites along with GD electric Regular People is a great riff, but I always liked the verse riff in By Demons Be Driven Vulgar Display of Power is full of inspiring riffs!

[@jasoncrump1886]

Good morning Ola . Love that guitar man. Really wanna get me that fiddle.

[@spungeegoodness1144]

Think my favorite pantera riff/song is primal concrete sledge. I just love the groove!

[@BLFactor]

Love the main riff from Drag the Waters.

[@_bmh5150]

Hey Ola, love the channel, love SWOLA, also love that neon green cable you're using. Do you have a link or info you can share?

[@juksuguitars1777]

I like the opening riff/song - it has a great Carcass vibe 🤘🔥🎸

[@mandreshyp6683]

answering to the member question, my favorite Pantera riffs are probably the intro for The Art of Shredding or the breakdown in Primal Concrete Sledge

[@thunderbirdbrown3002]

It's good to be here after the unfortunate events of the last few days.The intro riff was fun and brutal.🤘🏿😎 Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻

[@thomasbaldiscola4671]

HAPPY SWOLA!!!!! Thanks for the chugs and fun every Sunday! When I was younger I used to play Quake Arena on my Dreamcast and PUMP "Reinventing The Steel" I loved "Death Rattle" breakdown. Also HaVoK is a KILLER BAND!! If you like Thrash Metal go check them out now! All of their stuff is amazing. Pete Webber is a KILLER drummer! I gotta go see them this summah in Boston! Have a WONDERFUL SUNDAY EVERYONE!

[@BLSbrokenBONED]

Nice, LIK - Celebration Of The Twisted as the intro riff =)

[@atrelpilex1]

for me it was the main riff in shedding skins that got me hooked up to Pantera and metal in general for the first time when I was around 11 or 12 years old, 30 years later, still the same

[@Shredattack5150]

Whoa, thanks for shouting out my band Havok. Coffee with Ola and Reece 2024???

[@bannifilth]

I believe my favorite singular pantera riff is the 5 minutes alone alternate riff he uses and the end of a song that's just a bit heavier than the riff in the rest of the song

[@Stepy_G]

Dude that was one of the best intro's I've ever heard

[@Duncan8er]

That riff from This Love is my favorite Dime riff too!

[@BorisFedonin]

Congrats on the new vinyl plant! It's so hard to get all heavy music nuances from LP. I literally have a collection of $hitty metal vinyls

[@jsullivan2112]

16:51 sounded awesome, like old In Flames. Food For the Gods or anything else off Whoracle or Colony

[@mieszanesztuki]

I don't really watch guitar yt anymore but it's always worth to click your videos just for the intro jam. Your riffing has really evolved in recent year or two and I humbly believe it's time for a new album.

[@thunderbirdbrown3002]

Ola!!! I've been talking that Pantera track "It makes them disappear"since the album was born and devastated people with it because it wasn't on their setlist.🤘🏿😎🤘🏿 Cool metal lore!!! Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻

[@BrokenStrings231]

Picking my fav Pantera riff is hard, but I always loved the intro riff of Revolution is my name. It just slaps so hard.

[@dreadedjay1323]

I need to see a video on how to play that intro!!!

[@Patriotofliberty69]

Virginia Tech uses Enter Sandman as their entrance song. I'm not a Tech fan (GO BLUE!), but watching the football team come on the field with that song gives me the fizz.

[@timmystoner7219]

New vinyl sounds freaking great

[@IanOnTheDL]

My favorite Pantera riff is the opening riff in Slaughtered

[@TheStrykerProject]

I can't WAIT to get the Chug Project! It's Trey X's worst nightmare, and I'm going to love every minute of this album. All hail "The Riff"!! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻 Oddly enough, Ola's most dispised riffs are the ones that I very much enjoy, probably because I can understand and identify with their 'simplicity'. 😆

[@JakeyMagoo]

Hands down , my Favorite Riff is the beginning of " Im Broken " But the beginning of Cowboys is a close second .

[@williamdesilva67]

The double stop riff at the end of the revolution is my name solo is my favorite dime riff..hard to beat the art of shredding opening riff too... that and every other dime riff...lol

[@maplechill75]

So many great Dime riffs, but I can’t help that CFH is my fav. When you hear that opening line, it’s on immediately!! 🤘

[@lecorsaire2283]

The breakdown from This Love is probably my favorite Dime riff. I also love the live outro for Walk from 101 Proof. That shit is brutal AF.

[@telecasteroil]

Sound of Chug Project....Rock....
