USA does 'fall back' NEXT Sunday. Got the notification on, but today was absolute murder. Might not make it, as I am pooped.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Ola, is your decibel-meter calibrated properly (if it can be)?... I mean, you speak at 91dBs when facing away from it??... Just saying, it never seems realistic when I look at it.

[@jfo3000]

Thanks for the Presonus segment. I have one of their interfaces, might need another, you confirm they're good! Also, thanks for talking about Autism. Perhaps lots of "creatives" are on the spectrum; love our schedules; private time...creating!!! But there are real challenges as well. It's good to know we are not alone when any public figure such as yourself embraces this discussion.

[@seanrichter3730]

Thanks Ola for QOTD and Autism. My son has a structural time when he does things and must maintain. Very important for his well being. More awareness always is great. Would love to see a Chug for Autism T shirt to support awareness. That would be cool!

Seeing the video for "Wrathchild" from the "Maden Japan" album in the early days of MTV started my love of metal. R.I.P Paul.🤘

[@ThrushCZX]

I was at the London DT show. I can’t lie, I had a lump in my throat at several points. As a drummer, massively influenced by MP, him being back behind the kit playing with these guys again is very special. I really hope you get the JP+MP coffee with Ola!

Watching this video, I realized that I have been watching you for a little over a year, and now I've noticed you've influenced my guitar playing style. A positive influence for sure!

[@manuelhernandez2017]

Thank you for mentioning the spectrum. We have a similar situation in terms of close family member with ASD. It's really cool that you would mention that.

Personally I could never get into maiden, but as a music lover and guitarist, I can’t deny the impact maiden had in music. Plus their artwork has always badass. RIP sir. Thank you for your contribution to music.

Thanks for mentioning you're on the spectrum (well we're all to some degree) my sons a big fan and on the spectrum also, when he saw this it made his year ❤

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

So cool to hear about Your daily routine! It makes all the difference for me, too, walking & excercising is crucial as well! Big luv to Ya!

[@restojon1]

Hi Ola, I was put into contact with Paul DiAnno back in the early 90s. I was playing bass alongside two other well-known guitarists, but sadly things were not to be. Paul was a really nice guy, what I would describe as "straight down the middle," but bless him, he certainly had his own problems. I met a couple of members of his family who were absolutely lovely, and I sincerely wish them the very best and that they can find strength and peace in their time of bereavement.

I like seeing the technical stuff, putting together the recording equipment etc. Ola is practically audio engineer himself, very good. Being an electrician myself though, I spend a lot of time on cable management

[@fivedaysinjune]

Firstly, great intro music- so inspiring. Just as inspiring is your new business venture. I'll save this video should my band wanna do some merch. Also appreciated is your mention about the Autism spectrum. I work with people with disabilities and Autism crops up often.

Hey ola think I might start writing riffs for swola. Since I’ve been watching for a while but that’s something practical that will help me get better and get out of a rut

Can't believe its already a week since the O2 show, the roar at the start of Metropolis was spine tingling. One of those pinch yourself "their actually doing this" moments. My favourite moment though was hearing Octavarium in full, my favourite DT track since the day I heard it.

Hey Ola, g'day from Perth, Western Australia, thanks for the channel and for being neuro-affirming ∞🌈 about autism today. As an autistic man and metalhead the wrong side of 60 it was great to hear. Love all your stuff, keep on riffing 🤘.

[@phillipdonsbach74]

I just want to say that it’s pretty unexpected that you mention that you think you are on the spectrum. I have met you once in person and I wouldn’t say I got that impression at all. A lot of successful people have similar structured and planned out routines. It’s just necessary to keep us on track and to help us accomplish what we set out to accomplish. Keep crushing it man and looking forward to the new feared album! I literally found and own my dream amp because of you. Wish the most success to you, your fam, and your business ventures

Throwing this out there: Can accountant Ola teach us lessons in financial literacy? Times are tough for a lot of people and that could help Also can't say whether or not this will work for you but running helped my hip pain. Started slow and on soft surfaces like a grass field, with shorter distances and a rest day in between runs. Also increased my protein intake to help with the rebuild. Just ran a 5k yesterday for the first time and did it in 24:20. Perfect way to listen to metal. Hip pain is gone, just the rest of me is swore now haha

Hi Ola. I've got some questions regarding your tour. We have got already tickets for Berlin and we are looking forward. But I am not shure who will be on stage? The guys during your rehearsals are obviously not the same as during the tour. Am I right? So what we hear on "Sunday with Ola" are parts of the same songs you'll be performing with Bernth and Charles? Maybe you like to explain it a bit on the next Swola. Will you sell merchandise like picks or even guitars? It is difficult to buy Solar guitars in Germany in Music stores. Only a few are available (thomann). Respectively to test if they will chug. Greetings Hans-Martin

I met Dani the same night I met Dime and Vinnie! (it was on the weekend of the Reinventing the Steel gig, with Powerman 5000 in support) It was in a club on Tottenham Court road (the Metro), and Dime was playing air guitar on the dancefloor most of the time! I was at the bar, and a child stood next to me. I was surprised because it was about one am. I looked down only to realise it was actually Filthy Dani. I recall thinking his New Rock boots could have been a foot taller, and he would have been served quicker...

I used to gate-keep. But then one day a goat got through the gate I was keeping and made a mess of everything inside. It was then I realized the futility of attempting to keep a gate in the face of such inexorable chaos. Beware: if you gate-keep, it's only a matter of time before a goat sneaks through.
