SWOLA115 - JOHN PETRUCCI PLAYS LIKE A NERD? METALLICA & FORTNITE, SCOTT IAN & PANTERA

[@OlaEnglund]

Have a Great Sunday Everyone! Subtitles will come later today! www.olaenglundshop.com

[@petepetrich7828]

You as well, sir!

[@eamonahern7495]

I don't think you need to say tribute when talking about Rex because he was a true member of the real band. Just my silly little opinion.

[@pauly51]

Awesome opening lick!!!

[@clowncorpse7230]

Awesome you managed to fit a little cool solo in there with your awesome riffs 😀🤘🤘🤘

[@EarthAltar]

Buckethead put out 3 more albums while I was writing this comment. Lol. Seriously though, check out Flare, Disintegration Mirrors, Project Little Man, or The Ghosts of Broken Eggs for some tasty nuggets. All jam, no beaks or feet. Buckethead 4ever!

[@proxy8918]

I love Ola because he has the charisma of a drunk person (the jovial kind, not the obnoxious ones) while being sober.

[@TrevorShredder]

This is the greatest comment.

[@mrcoatsworth429]

It's from all the chugging. Except Ola is not chugging beer, he's chugging riffs.

[@C-Ro]

You nailed it!

[@joesatchton212]

WELL PLAYED, SIR/MADAM! One of the most perfectly accurate descriptions I have read in a very long time. About anything XD

[@herculesbrofister265]

No such thing, you must be getting your perception of drunks from television.

[@jacquesroux7362]

Ola here is an idea! Since all the KZbinrs do a Shred Colab each year, why don't you do a Chug Colab! No leads allowed! Just bone crushing riffs!

[@kennybenally7187]

This!

[@jcalzada74]

How many guys can chug on 2 string rally 🤣🤣🤣

[@petropolis87]

Yes!

[@DeniPetras]

Great idea!

[@Fredrikliljemark32]

Yeah!!! But can anyone else compare with ola in chuging? Meshuggah?

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

I'm just glad to see Master Of Puppets getting Enter Sandman levels of attention. That album was the first thing I ever heard from Metallica. A radio station near me had the balls to play the entire album during prime time (8pm-ish) when Cliff died.

[@vladv5126]

Master of Puppets always got heaps of attention, what do you mean?

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

@@vladv5126 I meant more in terms of being on mainstream platforms catering to casual music listeners that aren't fans in any capacity. First Stranger Things and now Fortnite. Yes, M.O.P. is a mainstay on the setlist and one of their more popular songs, but, as far as I know, it didn't have a strong showing on the pop charts till recently.

[@colinburroughs9871]

Your local rock station has been doing Mandatory Metallica for 25 years, playing large chunks of the catalogue. If anything, this music is all wildly overexposed and overrated.

[@preston2636]

All the local rock stations have mandatory metallica. Get real bro

[@recipoldinasty]

@@colinburroughs9871 overexposed tes but not overrated mop is a masterpiece

[@vwbyoy88]

Great Intro jam!! VERY PANTERA-ish!! Save that one and make a full song out of it, please!!!

[@AdamBurseMusic]

Great show Ola that was awesome and great riff at the start as well. I can't wait to do something to those drums later on 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I hope you all have a great week everyone and I'll see some of you at the Swola Contenders Livestream tomorrow 🙂

[@Bigscott4130]

People seem to forget that Lars played on some of the best, most respected, most influential Thrash/Metal albums ever recorded (not to mention co-writing most of them). All before there was such a thing as quantizing and digital editing. Much respect for to him.

[@antonioangeconeb3196]

Lol

[@rubysoffner4557]

😂

[@TheRicardoSanchez]

Ha. Uh huh.

[@GUOMENTAREVIEWS]

You might wanna doublecheck that "no editing" part.

[@stevenlornie1261]

um... Justice is legendary for the editing on it. Apparently the drum tapes are so heavily edited, folks are scared to go and remaster it properly.

[@geraldorodrigues1080]

Buckethead is my favorite musician, who inspired me to play guitar. It's great to see him mentioned here!

[@jackolson8775]

Im digging my Sun morning routine lately. Wake N Bake with Ola.🥴 Then cook breakfast, head to the shop for a couple hrs and make it back home for football . Thanks, Ola \m/ \m/

[@daniel_naaden]

Thanks so much for answering my question, Ola! Been sick for a whole week so this really cheered me up :D

[@kennybenally7187]

Wow! That intro riff is SIIICCCKKK!! I'd love to hear a whole song with that idea, 😁🤘🏼

[@Simonize41]

I saw Chimaira play at The Cockpit, Leeds, UK, when they toured the album ‘The Age of Hell’, and I have to say it was an incredible show. Brutal, heavy, tight. It was epic! Great band.🤘🏻😎

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I'm spoiled, I grew up in the Cleveland music scene, a Chimaira show was just another weekend back then. The scene was GREAT then too. Tons of great local bands.

[@ericwilliams538]

@@DudeMcGuybro there are a lot of great metal bands in Ohio period if you ask me. I'm from Northern Kentucky and know of quite a few awesome bands from your area and mine Decrepit, From the Depths, Dominous ( I believe that's how they spelled it) Estuary Of Calamity ( now just Estuary), FaithXtractor, and at one point Incantation....that was just to name a few, there are many, many other awesome metal bands in Ohio!!!

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Thanks, still recovering from surgery. My 1st guitar is sitting in the box next to a brand new boss katana, been sitting there since August but I had to get thru surgery, couldn't hold the thing with a marble sized kidney stone LOL!! 2023 will be a better year.

[@HeavyDude3000]

Normal Parents: "I don't like when my Kid plays all these violent video games. I don't think it's good for him. My Kid should do something more useful with his time. Ola Englund:" I'm tired of my Kids playing buildingblox all day. I'm trying to get them into shooting games" 😂 Also: That intro had as well Pantera as Metallica vibes. Good job!

[@jannik-x]

raspect to rex for trying to keep his crew and bandmates healthy

[@SamSan2256]

I got myself a MTM2, with the V7/V8, and after something like 10+ years it still is one of my favourite guitar to play. Extremly versatile and confortable!

[@jacquesroux7362]

That picking hand of Ola is absolutely filthy in the best way!

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Nice to see Grady smiling!!!!

[@paulovalverde7504]

"And also, he is like the closest we can get to a chris cornell voice today" - I absolutely agree this THIS!

[@The_philosophical_musician72]

Omg Chimera hell yes, love those guys wish they were still making albums

[@leshamas_]

Daum, this opening riff challenge is dope!

[@gregmccourt4730]

I just got back from seeing Cattle Decapitation, Obituary, Carcass, and Amon Amarth. Now it's SWOLA time! \m/

[@pimpdaddy7327]

I can answer that. Bucket head rocks!!! Wish we can meet him one day. I was reading a few months ago that he was having some heart issues and he was concerned about playing live. We love you Buckethead! Hang in there brother 🎸

[@hatempire]

The Fortnite part was wholesome, I bet Ola's son will remember it years later and be happy about the good memories. About Chimaira, I'll kick myself forever because they played here (ironically enough, in Brazil) with Born of Osiris years ago. I can't believe I lost it.

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

His name was Ernst Fuchs, his name was Ernst Fuchs, his name was Ernst Fuchs! RIP, he was a painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, architect, stage designer, composer, poet, and even a founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism(among others).

[@wordsmith451]

KZbin can get Fuched.

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

@@wordsmith451 They sure can!!

[@RMSHNmusic]

"Seed of Filth" was my first favourite song of the "Six Feet Under". I started to listen to this band because of this song. After ~10 years I found you as a very cool metal blogger, followed you, and see that you're a guitarist of the Six Feet Under and just "wow! 🤯". I didn't expect that! After all that bloggers like Jared Dines, Rob Scallon etc I see a real professional metal musician as a blogger and it blows my mind and inspires me a lot. And now I see you playing my favourite riffs in this video, and not because you just like it but because you're a part of this band... Oh, Ola, thank you so much for all.

[@karterestill]

Damn that red/gold Solar always gets me 😍 I wish I could try one to see if I'd like it!

[@PakaShreds]

I super look forward to the Sunday wifff Ola show every week. Ola is the best

[@nicktopping2484]

The sheer nastiness of that opening riff. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jesseschmittTheRiffLab]

The intro riffs when he sings or talks over his playing is like if Frank Zappa went metal

[@ttopper1222]

Bullsjit! You are THE most reliable source on KZbin.

[@200shells]

BADASS RIFFS OLA! My fav in a long time. Great show too. Merry Christmas & have a super New Year!

[@headstash1]

That opening riff was a heavy groove Ola!

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

You always come up with some sickass riffs. Thx again great SWOLA

[@jtobrien_]

The nicest person. Favorite part of Sunday morning, yes. 🤘🏻🫠

[@wfrancis25]

I Fucking LOVE this intro song. lost count of how many times I've listened to it

[@gorkajoncaleroqueiruga4763]

That Solar looks absolutely stunning!!!

[@obiwan593]

Loved the opening riff, new song with that! Cheers Ola! 🤘

[@LambChopper678]

I loved Lars drum track to elevator jazz ❤

[@tommyjams7403]

Bad ass riff Ola,!! especially the beginning ..hell yea!

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

If you don't like the glossy finish of painted necks, you can use some very fine sand paper and sand it down a bit - just barely ... it gets rid of the gloss and makes it feel more like a satin finish.

[@jaredflynn9613]

I'd absolutely love to play that opening that was sick

[@kingu4120]

Ola my brother your.reaction video.was.like hanging with an old friend. you played guitar and cracked jokes it reminded me of being a young guy just caring about pantera and metal and guitar. keep making them man you have a great personality and a genius.

[@J_Braz_]

It's 4:00 am in Alabama. Morning, Ola. No better way than starting the day off with "Sunday with Ola."

[@CodenameCuervo]

Wow over 200 Albums Buckethead has.. ..and I thought I was special because I write a song a day, lol.. I think it's all in perception of what you think is good material or not, most people could "Write a lot More" if they just didn't criticize so much and just played with the heart

[@allenvrabac4827]

All hail Ola's new tics: the knee clap.

[@ayandey137]

That intro tone is orgasmic 🤯

[@HunterRouth]

The Winery Dogs is the greatest rock band in this century. The self-titled album is a masterpiece of a rock record for virtuosity and songwriting. Give it a listen. There's a song for everyone on that record. Would love to see Ola have Richie with a "Coffee with Ola." I'm sure Richie would dig it.

[@zlowieszczy_049]

> Ola: i hate this clickbait articles on fb > upload clickbait video on yt luv u man

[@claudevieaul1465]

Glad you got my favourite type Solar guitar out again - I missed that glorious red&gold beauty ❤️🤘 Absolutely monstrous riffs too, at the intro!!!!

I started gaming in 2022 after a 20 year absence. Far Cry 6 is a great entry level game. Worth a look. You don’t have to be good, you just have to have fun

[@alanjayreed457]

very cool riff in the intro track.....

[@jaakkokunnas]

Kiss were using analog quantisizing back in the day. They utilized studio musicians most of the way, and just sang afterwards. I haven't heard anyone complaining about that.

[@MykeOwns]

Aww yeahhhhh

[@doric_historic]

Gotta love the "Diaper Naked Space Babies" intro...

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

*Haha I remember Weird Al did a parody song "White and Nerdy" maybe Petrucci can cover it xD*

That riff in the beginning was badass Ola!

DAT INTRO THO🎉

[@vincentrandles8105]

Mick Thompson is one big fella at 6'4"! I'm not sure what that is in metric, but he's still tall, no matter how you measure him! Bucket-head has that much music out there? I'm extremely jealous myself! Wow, how does he keep it all together? I'm sure I don't know! Just trying to imagine is blowing my mind!! Over 300 albums? I'm going to have to Google that, coz it seems rather impossible! If he's FETURED on that many albums, I can believe that - it just seems a bit much too me right off the bat!!

[@Tuukki_]

Youre in for a treat with Buckethead

[@duartelucas8129]

“I want to introduce my kids to shooting games”. I would love to have heard someone say that in public during the 90s/early 2000s 😂

[@wolfster421]

Cool, I also have a Mick Thomson signature. Just Wish I could Play it like Ola.

I loved my MTM2, bought it because of your demos and had to sell it because I was low on rent. Sad day😢

[@leegollin4417]

My pal Bobby!!!!! Best guitarist in the arena most nights.....

[@dwightwilhelm7052]

Chimaira in Cleveland Doooooood 🤘

[@morpheussmith4366]

I've seen Chimaira many times, including the stand alone 2017 Chimaira Christmas gig. Chimaira in their home town of Cleveland at The Agora is just top notch. I highly recommend making it to one of these gigs if you can. New Rob Arnold solo record that just dropped is solid too.

[@FPSInsanity8511]

Best intro jam in a while. I’m definitely stealing a few of those little galloping motifs

Check out Praxis Tennessee 2004. That's some quintessential Buckethead, Brain, and Bernie Worell!
