Man, I’m really impressed with that vocal audition. Ola has the nose enlargement technique down, used by all of today’s greatest singers. I guess more air intake more power, as per the demonstration. Applause!
"Stars & Ponies" is 4 years old but it still goes so hard. there's something about the main riff where you go into the inverted power chord... it still hits the exact same way when I first heard it.
Thanks again, Ola. The intro music was an epic opener for the new year. We all hope you're well practiced for the tour. I do have a question- since you're going on a 'fancy' tour, do you miss playing in sweaty dive bars? Rock on!
I think it was Guitar World that did a long interview with Grady Champion years ago which was informative. I'm an absolute die hard fan of Pantera I saw them live at Brixton Academy London in the 90s and it's still the best gig I've ever been to . Love you Brothers ........
How cool would it be to have John as your professor? He peels off a FEARED hoodie and has a MESHUGGAH t-shirt underneath. I would know I was at the right school!! 🤘🏻
I'm all about that Sleep Token, dog. Looking forward to the new album. Love how they piss off the metal gatekeepers. That's what rock n roll is for and just goes to show if you want to be successful in music, write music for men AND women.
With all due respect, no one is forgetting Dime's legacy any time soon. Try and track down some of his gear or signature models and you will quickly see that what is available has a heavy tax because they're so in demand (as you know). I think it's a travesty, because I want to run a Randall RG100HT, not because of Dime, but because I love solid state Randall amps and I can't find one for what I consider a reasonable price. The Washburn 2/3 ST was also one of the best guitars I have ever played, the mild V felt perfect, as a big guy I like the larger body and headstock and I love a short scale, but those are almost impossible to find, let alone at a good price. I doubt this would ever happen, but Rita has to have the rights to the stealth, it would be great to see Washburn or someone produce one, with the proper mild v neck.
Why not having an online exclusive "e-tour" for the US? I don't know HOW, but think about a way to do it for our transatlantic brothers... Cheers from Portugal
Im old cuz it seems like recently Dime was taken from all of us. I can't believe it's been 20 years, I remember hearing cowboys for the first time. That was mind blowing.
If by some miracle you get John Petrucci back on “Coffee with Ola”.. I’d love if you could ask him about his Rock Discipline book/dvd! I’d love to know if he still does the same exercises, or if there’s anything he’s swapped out… and if yes, would he ever do a newer/revised version?!
Turning 17 today, this Swola just makes it that much better, happy new year!!!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!
Man, I’m really impressed with that vocal audition. Ola has the nose enlargement technique down, used by all of today’s greatest singers. I guess more air intake more power, as per the demonstration. Applause!
I AGREE WTF Lol
@ A new chapter indeed 😂
Haha wtf.
0:41 riff got me in the feels.
Happy New Year Ola!
I hope you and the bands have a great time touring together again soon!
I can’t wait for the new Shadows Fall album 🤘🏻
Is Bitner playing drums?
@ yeah mate he just left Overkill to concentrate on Shadows Fall
Yeah the new single was awesome. Can’t wait for ATR too
@@Marko_74 he’s solid for sure
Also The Duskfall too
Good luck on tour Ola! Safe travels!
5:42 this was the album that reallly REALLY got me into Nevermore! That whole album was epic, and brutal. Dane was bringing his A-game on it.
My favourite one of theirs too. I liked the Steve Smyth influence
Warrel didn't have a B-game.
Thanks Ola glad you are feeling better mate.
Good luck with tour!!
Good luck with the tour.
Each of you guys are terrific.
"Stars & Ponies" is 4 years old but it still goes so hard. there's something about the main riff where you go into the inverted power chord... it still hits the exact same way when I first heard it.
I look forward to your vlogs of the tour Ola. Have a great and safe time and keep rocking bro. Happy New Year!!
Thanks again, Ola. The intro music was an epic opener for the new year. We all hope you're well practiced for the tour. I do have a question- since you're going on a 'fancy' tour, do you miss playing in sweaty dive bars?
Rock on!
Dime tribute video dropping on my birthday?! Hell yeah 🥳 🔥
Happy birthday
Happy new year dear Ola. I hope this new year is going to be awesome for you and your family. Cheers.
Have a great tour!
All best for the tour Ola! Missed my Chance for the Vienna show but am happy for you that it was the first sold out date 😊
Cool riff Ola, happy new year........
I think it was Guitar World that did a long interview with Grady Champion years ago which was informative.
I'm an absolute die hard fan of Pantera I saw them live at Brixton Academy London in the 90s and it's still the best gig I've ever been to .
Love you Brothers ........
Happy New Year Ola, looking forward to all the content this year and hopefully will catch you on the 25th!

Love waking up to SWOLA. Currently planning a move to WA. Hope to pump out some more content of this backline duddes move!
Speaking of Dimebag, you should have Kayla Kent on your show. She's a phenomenal player and Dimebag is her hero! Might make for a cool interview.
Kayla is cool as hell!
FELIZ AÑO NUEVO OLA, todo el exito para ti junto a tu familia, son geniales tus videos.. un abrazo desde Chile.
Man my most anticipated albums for the year are from Coheed and Cambria and Volbeat!!! I’m so excited for that!
Hell Yeah! Keep flying that flag! Getcha pull mate 🍻 333!
Intro riff is a banger !! 🤘😖
Jens Bogren….the be original BEAST of a mixing engineer. And the rehearsal sounded great.
Best wishes to you and fam Ola!
Slaughter always drops amazing records
Great safe tour buddy
Very nice to see you play at Jon's school, very cool playing ❤
Down getting together to write another album has me very excite!
Very best of luck on your tour! 🤘🎸
Goooood riffff man
How cool would it be to have John as your professor? He peels off a FEARED hoodie and has a MESHUGGAH t-shirt underneath. I would know I was at the right school!! 🤘🏻
That is how I roll 🥳🥳🥳
I "am very excite" for the upcoming Volbeat album! (And all of the others mentioned as well!)
Saria's Song on xylophone. Hell yeah Ola!
Happy new year ! I'd love to see mixing with Jens.
Got to buy a couple of those guitar world magazines in February hell yeah 👍
Will be seeing you on the 25th in Birmingham at the 02!
RIP to Sean Blosl of Sanctuary. Both Nevermore and Sanctuary could use some good vibes right now.
OLA ENGLUND WE LOVE YOU GUY'S MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER GRANNY
Beautiful harmonies on that intro solo!
The last tour you were on with The Haunted was in 2017 I think.
WIFFIN THE SILENCE! Great audition lol
16:24 goosebumps
Totally looking forward to the new Lacuna Coil album, all the songs released so far have been great!
Great playing Ola 👍
Well, seeing you singing Born.... There goes the respectful part of the reunion, I guess... :P
great work!
I'm all about that Sleep Token, dog. Looking forward to the new album. Love how they piss off the metal gatekeepers. That's what rock n roll is for and just goes to show if you want to be successful in music, write music for men AND women.
Much love from Florida
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 nice guitar
Gott Nytt År!
Nevermore new singer right there
Oh, we always pronounced it like that “uiji”

I will be returning to doing riff challenges again in a few weeks time after my time out,I have missed doing swola's very much

Love the alein blood finish!! What about a unicorn blood (pink splatter) over black

Ola is a riff master. Wish I could just spit this stuff out like that.
If Carlsberg did Sundays...nice to have you back and well Ola
Album of 2025 for me will be LoKust 🤘🖤🤘
Looking forward to the new Def Lepard album 🫡
Kung Jon! 🥁🙌😃
Tack Walle 😊❤
"The only news worth watching"
-Tha News With Ola
The Heavy Metal Xylophone 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Adon Fanion (Ghostship Octavius) would be an awesome option for a vocalist for Nevermore.

Yup, Alc

When Sega made it..
Bullet For My Valentine 💕
Cool...just don't skip 333.🤘🤘🤘
My 5th SWOLA asking for a release date on the X type FRGN w/ the Evertune
Olas in hes got the job bro
Why not having an online exclusive "e-tour" for the US? I don't know HOW, but think about a way to do it for our transatlantic brothers... Cheers from Portugal
Hopefully Testament will get their new album out this year! 🤘🏼
wait wait wait !!! there's no drumtrack for swola222 ??? how is it possible ??? i need my fix !!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!! 😁😛🤘
There's drums.😊
@@TheMooseintree14 yes of course, but for the 221 ... but i use it last week :D oh ... i can use the 221 and make another song, but call it 222 😅🤘
The Haunted new album is what we all need for this 2025
Loving the new green cannibalismo Solar. Find myself badly, badly requiring one.
I have have the cannibalismo v . Awesome guitar
Im old cuz it seems like recently Dime was taken from all of us. I can't believe it's been 20 years, I remember hearing cowboys for the first time. That was mind blowing.
Weejuhh guitar is how much in josh rand cashes?
Hellyeah 🤘
I’m ready for a new clutch album
I read when Van's wife died in 2020 that him and jeff bonded and stayed close which probably helped with a reunion down the road.
If by some miracle you get John Petrucci back on “Coffee with Ola”.. I’d love if you could ask him about his Rock Discipline book/dvd! I’d love to know if he still does the same exercises, or if there’s anything he’s swapped out… and if yes, would he ever do a newer/revised version?!
Man, it would be nice if you made a video explaining how you set up the session in Logic Pro for the show!
I would 100% go see Ola on a boat
Let's not forget the new band coming from Howard Jones and Adam Dutkiewicz, Burn Eternal! Scheduled to launch the debut album this year too
13:04 if this isn't played live on tour... I'm not flying to Europe.
Ola could you do a interview with Richie Faulkner from Judas Priest? I would enjoy it. Love your stuff.
