SWOLA206 - DAVE GROHL CHEATS, GIBSON VICTORY, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, BACKING TRACKS DEBATE, DEVIN TALK

[@triledink]

Fun fact: One of the guitarists in the death metal band Autopsy have played a gibson victory guitar ever since the 80s and he have never changed guitar. Danny Corales.

[@stinkfloyd1]

🤘 Autopsy...caveman death/doom

[@elpeluca7780]

That's insane. I'm also like that, bought an Ibanez SR bass in 2020 and haven't bought another bass since. I also don't plan to buy any other bass. This one is just perfect for me

[@jajasniewski]

That was a fun fact! I certainly had a good time.

[@GaryBeilby]

Love your work so much Ola. Canning those crappy articles and playing with your dog instead was absolute internet gold. You are the best.

[@YTisGay]

He gave that dog proper attention when she asked for it. I've always enjoyed Ola's approach to music and his videos in general. I think ill show some support and buy a Solar guitar for the Fk of it.

[@eh-ronlocke7164]

Thank you for skipping the drama in favour of playing with Pixx! There's enough drama and negativity in the world and you are one of the few people I see trying to bring only positivity. Please never change, Ola!

[@JoaoGabrielJF724]

Drama? :O Did I miss something?

Drama? You mean a man cheating on his wife and having a child with his mistress?

Nobody would have known this until you left it. Yes that’s right so by you bringing it up everyone is gonna go huh? Who cares pple screw that’s not a new thing

[@JoaoGabrielJF724]

@@misterbaker9728 I don't understand what's going on. Lots of people saying: "I'm glad Ola skipped the drama and started playing with the dog". What drama? What are people talking about? I don't know if it's about Dave cheating or releasing albums not being a good idea for new bands

For the record, your songs are BADASS. please keep creating them

[@adamhumleker3097]

Pix just makes ya smile. In terms of that boom box Ola, I'm only 40 years old, I grew up having a RCA boom box, then I got a 100 watt koss stereo system, in high school I upgraded to a Philips 250 watt HiFi Stereo System, and I haven't turned my back since then. I currently have a LG 230 watt HiFi Stereo Shelf System, and an old-school Pioneer 500 watt HiFi Stereo System from the early 90's with Cerwin Vega three way speakers hooked up to it, I bought the whole system at a garage sale, and it's kinda perfect from the low-end to the high-end. I don't think I could ever go back to a small boom box, but the one you bought is pretty damn cool man. Awesome SWOLA. Take care Ola. Keep Kicking Ass!

[@vagueless521]

Love the Pix segments. Such a good dog.

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

We had some of the coolest stuff, in the 80's and 90's.

[@CP-ve6dl]

Zakk is definitely one of the hardest working MF's in the music biz. Hes been on the go since he joined Oz in 87 with minor breaks in between. Hes a living legend and a monster of metal. Like him or not he is one of the greatest to ever do it. Ola, keep up the great work. Love your attitude in life and your videos. 🤘

[@misterbaker9728]

Just got to hear Devin last year. Deadhead might one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard

[@Hoxle-87]

And today in the Ola & Pixy Show … cassettes … good old memories

[@samizdat113]

Using backing tracks to produce/reproduce sounds that you just cannot make live on stage is one thing. Getting up there and faking it is a completely different thing.

[@ofdarknesandlight]

Love your content Ola, but I have to disagree with the concept of elevating the experience regarding backingtracks. Keyboards/ Synths are also an instrument that is performed live. Lately many bands are replacing keyboard players with backingtracks to save costs and space and this has somehow been normalized with metal acts. Many bands use keyboards parts that play the main melodies, interludes and even solos on backingtracks while guitars and bass are playing the rhythm section. that is just wrong. It is understandable for the bands that use keyboard tracks that play a pad preset to add more depth to the song in certain parts. For more prominent keyboard arrangements a live player should be performing these.

[@OldschoolRacer73]

You playing with Pixx covering your sadness about the darkest news in human life made me smile. 😬👍🏻

[@marknippress7410]

What I love the most about Solar guitar models is the memorable names!

[@Eric_01]

[@bigjermboktown6976]

W.A.S.P. was awesome too. I really hate that a lot of our favorite bands and musicians are just simply getting old

[@mikeg6666]

Yep😕

[@DreidMusicalX]

This Boombox was our way of traveling to parks and blasting our Rock N Roll! 1979 sitting in a park Jammin out some Van Halen, Ozzy, AC DC, and so many other greats! Thats pretty cool but its so small in comparison to the ones we had. They got ridiculously big.

[@mikeg6666]

Yeah the boombox was awesome , I remember riding around on my bike in the 70's with the box anchored from the bike bar blasting VH and AC/DC through my neighborhood and the park. Good times , that thing was huge though , it barely fit through the bars on my bike 😅👍

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

That opening jam was sick as fuck!!!!

[@heyjarrod]

Hey, Ola and Louise. I hope to see you guys at NAMM again!!! Hollywood, checking in. Great stuff in the chat I see already. Jen is here, awesome! It’s almost 11 PM Saturday night, pretty cold for LA at just about 60°F. About to crank up my Marshall half stack and work on some Van Halen!!! 🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸

[@JimDewdGuitars]

The first cassette I ever bought was metallicas ride the lightning at 11. I liked how the cover looked and enjoyed the unforgiven ll video. I was blown away and cranked my volume up and jammed out to it in my room while acting like I was playing it on my guitar! Now I can play the entire album and I still jam it and play it from time to time and reminisce of the good old days.

11:38 RE: Chester's Son Jaime Bennington. Okay, Jaime was not the first one to put out "rumors" of Emily Armstrong being linked to the Church of Scientology, it was Cedric Bixler-Zavala, the vocalist of the Mars Volta, note: he was also a member of this Scientology Church. Second; Emily has denounced her ties with the Church of Scientology, also distanced herself from Danny Masterson. Can we leave it there now? She's made a public post about this on her-Instagram. Lastly; Ask yourself, why is Jaime Bennington stirring up drama? The dude has been known in the past to struggle with paying his rent, crowdfund projects too, this is nothing more than a ploy to gain sympathy, and attention - for monetary gain? Probably, for attention? Most likely. There is a reason why Mike Shinoda does not respond to the drama. Final point; Jaime has no authority to say what happens in Linkin Park or warrant the audacity to impose himself on Linkin Park's comeback. Linkin Park is Mike Shinoda's band, they are not trying to replace Chester, they are moving on, still Mike celebrates Chester's legacy live, anywhere he can. Go watch the interview Linkin Park did with Zane Lowe, it explains everything

[@misterbaker9728]

Awesome SWOLA episode. The best thing you did was to bring Pixie in instead of talking about the drama. BTW Your music is beautiful, fun and powerful. I hope you'll keep releasing more of it through the Chug Project and the other bands you play in.

I loved cassette tapes until this one time a coworker gave me his copy of Megadeths Rust In Peace and the first time I put it in the stereo at work it ate the tape like 2 songs in and destroyed the tape. Needless to say the stereo met its demise that day for disrespecting one of the greatest thrash albums of all time.

Blackie is amazing! I opened for him back in the day and I also spoke with him at length. Back then, no backing tracks and he totally crushed it!!

I’m digging on Hej Hunden. You know, in the old days; you would have hauled out a SVT rig with a 810 cab for the bass player and you would have a stereo rig of Mesa/Marshall heads with at least 2 412 cabs. Now thanks to modern tech, you get that sound and sounds great without carrying all that stuff.

[@Fenrirs_Ghost]

Yeah, Pix content is indeed way better then LP drama. 👍 BTW I think it´s a great idea to print own merchandise. Sadly not many have the opportunity to do so cause expensiv equipment, personal/time is needed. But if you can use it for different business topics/departments to make it economically viable, it´s a great thing. Then offer it for other b(r)ands too, can evolve it even to a business of it´s own.

I understand the singles for small independent artist because just like painting sometimes you can do a cathedral for it can last the rest of time or have a master painting of one song and that is a masterpiece.
