If you're watching this and haven't listened to Scar... Please just do. As superb as they are, they are beyond underrated. Per is a magician, cosmic musician. I'll forever sing his praises lol
Just picked up Scar Symmetry's "Holographic Universe" after watching this 2nd interview w/ Per. What a fantastic album, gives me the same groovy goosebumps I got when I first bought Soilwork's "Natural Born Chaos". You Swedes RULE!
I remember checking out bands back in... 04? Maybe before, and came across soilwork.. I downloaded like 3 songs and bought every album they had released up till then. I got everything on my old iPod and everytime I go on a road trip soilwork comes out. Later found scar symmetry maybe around 2011/12? And I was just blown away by the guitar work. Artificial sun project is still probably my fav song from them just hits everything perfectly. Both bands are extremely underrated
Per is a national treasure. I wish I could hire him for a lead guitar for my upcoming album. He’s the love child between Holdsworth and Guthrie while having his very own thing which is so strong.
One of my favorite guitarist, for starters I love Scar Symmetry but what I like most of all are the solos, they tell a story. Really looking forward to the new album
I just love Per, it's good to see him back on. Been a Scar Symmetry fan since 2006 and I've always considered him to be just on another level than everyone else, and such a nice guy.
What a great interview Ola. Per is a truly excellent musician and a really lovely guy. I’ve been a fan of Scar Symmetry from pretty much the beginning and it’s awesome to have them back. Incidentally I’ve just taken delivery of all the vinyl rereleases and the new album is on preorder. And you’re right Ola, DON’T go down the vinyl rabbit hole. It genuinely does become an addiction. I’ve been a collector for years and I’m almost at full capacity here at home in terms of where to store them. I need a bigger house.😬 Thanks again Ola and Per.
Everything about this show is just Per-fect 😂. These mega metal giants are both really very soft spoken kindhearted gentlemen and very down to earth. Love you Per! Love you Ola! Thank you for this interview!
I honestly didn't even know who this guy was until I saw him filling in for Fredrik during Meshuggah's "Violent Sleep of Reason" tour dates. At first I was just kind of annoyed that Fredrik wasn't playing with Meshuggah during that time since he was a such a huge part of the band and their sound, but I was pleasantly surprised with Per's unique solos and guitar tone during the show and I became a fan.
I just recently got into SS (I'm at Holographic Universe right now) and it's the first band for many months that I really got into with excitement again (grinding through every album for a week at least, remembering the song titles, listening on shuffle to check if I remembered correctly and then ranking the songs). So thank you Per for creating meaningful music for all these years, can't wait for the June premiere!
es increible lo humilde que es per la verdad en mi opinion es uno de los guitarristas mas infravalorados de la escena del metal moderno , desde pitch black progress que escucho scar symmetry y tiene una manera de tocar super interesante , el ultimo disco es una locura y tiene su sello personal de como tocar , no sera petrucci o dimebag darrell pero escuchas un solo de este tipo y sabes que es per nilsson , mi tema favorito de scar es cryonic harvest es super cosmico
Been listening to Scar Symmetry since a friend of mine introduced me to them back in 2006ish. The first time I heard the solo on The Illusionist, I was aghast. I was into plenty of shreddy, technical stuff, but the feel, note choice, and interesting runs in the solo were like nothing I had heard before. Holdsworth chops but with more conventional metal harmony. He's been one of my favorite guitarists ever since. Very inspirational.
glad to hear of this new energy into the band, would love to see them support new tours and get going with a platform they deserve. Incredible talent and let'\s hope this allows them to also not make us wait so long for the next one! haha
This was awesome. Made me feel good as well knowing this dude is using straight up Neural DSP plugins for his record. I'm doing the same on mine right now and if its good for Per, its good for me!
I just made a cover of the guitar solo in The Illusionist like a month ago. Then they finally announced their new album and a new song, and then this! Thanks Ola! I'm a huge fan of Scar Symmetry and I was one of those wondering about the album for so many years. Glad to see you made another Coffee with Ola with Per. His guitar playing is just insane. Cheers!
I was lucky enough to see him play with Scar Symmetry in Umeå, opening for Orbit Culture and Halo Effect and of course Meshuggah, which was weird seeing Fredrik without his long hair but with a huge beard instead. On stage you could really see Per enjoy what he does, just go into a sort of other realm while playing but at the same time have an amazing stage presence and connection to the audience. I have barely played guitar compared to anyone else but he really do inspire me at least improve somewhat or as much as I can. Much love Per and of course, Ola aswell
Listening to a new Scar Symmetry album I realized that this "northern music" was, it still is and most probably will be completely different musical universe than the rest of the world.. very unique attitude to composition, weird hybrid scales etc. no matter the genre (especially notable is the scandinavian jazz scene btw)! I wondered if Per is influenced also by Extol, because I heard their harmonic signature many times on the album, but it may be a coincidence and I may be completely wrong.. anyway best wishes to Per, really inspirational guy and iconic, unique guitar player....also amazing interview Ola, thank you :)
Probably my favorite guitarist in metal. Along with the guy who plays in the Italian band DGM, Simone Mularoni. Oh and Michael Romeo of course. He keeps evolving in subtle ways.
Per is a once in a century guitar player and musician if I said anything less I would be a fuckin liar, and on top of it he is such a light hearted fun and humble guy.
Imagine Per recording an album or even a song in Atmos :D Getting to see Scar Symmetry at a small venue in 2016 was a thing off my bucket list for sure. Haven't seen that many metal bands live.
Per also did a fantastic job on the Nocturnal Rites album a few years back. Nils Norberg left some big shoes to fill, but Per was a fantastic fit. I wish Nocturnal Rites was more active, great band. (edit: Glad he mentioned them in this video!)
Love Per and Scar Symmetry! Excited for the new album! Also, I really want one of those Strandbergs to fart around with on my lap while I'm working. The compactness seems convenient.
Coffee with Dan Swanö next please! One of the greatest metal swedes, after you Ola :)
Hell yeah that would be awesome 'edge of sanity' is so fucking good, yet i rarely see anybody talk about them
@@highonsleep4219 Yeah. He also plays guitar upside down which is an interesting topic.
Yes. Vote this to the top. He has heaps of interesting things to talk about.
Totally!
I'm totally down for a coffee with Dan Swanö
Per is by far one of the greatest guitar players to come out of Sweden. He's RIDICULOUSLY underrated.
Per is one of the best in the world , if he wasn't so humble he'd be known among the greats
Is there a better guitarist in Sweden than Per? He’s unbelievably good
Per is a once in a generational talent. Humble, handsome and incredible at guitar.
If you're watching this and haven't listened to Scar... Please just do. As superb as they are, they are beyond underrated. Per is a magician, cosmic musician. I'll forever sing his praises lol
Just discovered them... I'm hooked...
offee with cola
😋
The worlds ready and waiting for Ola Cola🤘
coffee with rOla. You know what rola means here in Brazil??😂😂
@@sandrog.f7914 from memory, rola means either a winged animal or man parts, and I can only guess which one you’re referring to 😂👏
Cola flavoured guitar strings
Just picked up Scar Symmetry's "Holographic Universe" after watching this 2nd interview w/ Per. What a fantastic album, gives me the same groovy goosebumps I got when I first bought Soilwork's "Natural Born Chaos". You Swedes RULE!
Holographic universe is definitely my favorite of their albums. Pitch black is pretty great too.
NBC was my 1st Soilwork album. Never looked back
Still my favorite SS album and it still holds up soooo well even today.
I remember checking out bands back in... 04? Maybe before, and came across soilwork.. I downloaded like 3 songs and bought every album they had released up till then. I got everything on my old iPod and everytime I go on a road trip soilwork comes out.

Good to see you've been keeping up with proper care and feeding of your Per, Ola.
I felt sorry for him being stuck in your closet all that time.
Per is a national treasure. I wish I could hire him for a lead guitar for my upcoming album. He’s the love child between Holdsworth and Guthrie while having his very own thing which is so strong.
How well you put it !! Nice ❤
@@ayandey137 thanks a lot, appreciate it.
Man, I love Per. What a good human being.
He is such a monster of a player and seems so humble....!!
Per is a legend and a gentleman. One of the greatest players to ever pick up the instrument.
Per is one of my favorites. Amazing balance of shred and beautiful musicality. Pure awesomeness
I saw Scar Symmetry a few years back in London. Seeing Per play those solos in front of your very eyes is mind blowing.
Incredible Ola! Thank you so much for this second installment with Per. He truly is one of the greatest to ever so music.
Love Scar Symmetry. This band was so influential and shaped my teenage musical taste
I always enjoy when Per is on. His lead playing is one of the most unique styles I've ever heard and I don't know of a lame Scar Symmetry track.
One of my favorite guitarist, for starters I love Scar Symmetry but what I like most of all are the solos, they tell a story. Really looking forward to the new album
Always entertaining listening to Per, my 5 month old daughter was mesmerized whenever he played. ❤
I've been binge listening to Scar Symmetry for a week. I'm so ready!!!
Per is a legend. One of my favourite guitarrists 🎸🔥🤘
I just love Per, it's good to see him back on. Been a Scar Symmetry fan since 2006 and I've always considered him to be just on another level than everyone else, and such a nice guy.
Big fan of Per and Scar Symmetry. Can’t wait for the new album.

His music with Scar Symmetry makes me happy and his solos always surprise and bring on a smile.
Per is an absolute hero. So inspirational. Feel and technicality in perfect harmony.

So thank you Per for creating meaningful music for all these years, can't wait for the June premiere!
When he mentioned the new album I had to listen to the new single and then come back to the video, it sounds great! can't wait
Per is an amazing musician .... much inspiration, education and entertainment from his playing
Loving the latest scar symmetry tracks can’t wait for the new album. These guys have been killing it for years and per is playing is incredible
This was a great watch, always good to hear from Per.
I'm just now finally getting into scar symmetry but I've been watching his UA-cam stuff for years. Absolutely amazing player and composer.
Great interview. Can't wait to hear the whole album!
Per is an epic guy! brutal and triumphant!!!! great human being, really love this guy! I feel like I'm already rowing a big trailblazer next to him
This dude is a god. I'm so lucky i got to see him with Meshuggah.
This one as well as the last with Per were/are fantastic
In my opinion, the best metal guitarist & virtuoso today. Period.
Thank you! After previous coffee Per is one of my favourite musicians! A very high-skilled one due to hardworking and a very kind person too!
"Let's. Change. To English." 😂 Ola, your "Coffee With Ola" segments give me so much inspiration, introspection, and enjoyment. Keep them coming.

dayum ... new discovery. awesome music ... thx ola.
Life happens Per. Still love you, the cool guitars you play and the music create. Can’t wait for the new album.
I see / Nilsson, I press like!
what an awesome musician, such an inspiration.

Nice! The last time with Per was my fav episode
glad to hear of this new energy into the band, would love to see them support new tours and get going with a platform they deserve. Incredible talent and let'\s hope this allows them to also not make us wait so long for the next one! haha
Also, lets keep the Swedish guitar players going. Would love to see Tommy and/or Chris from Sabaton on Coffee With Ola!
Yes please 🙏 what a Swedish musical treasure
So happy Per is back
His approach to harmony is very creative and unique for sure.
New album is some of the Best i have ever heard. I listen to it many times every day, THANK YOU, You both Rock!!
Xenotaph and Chrononautilus WOW!!!
Two guitar playing machines!! thank you for all your musik and this wonderful talkings, you inspire me a lot!!
Love Per and Love the work he does. I became a fan with Scar but have really been digging his work with Kaipa the last 5 years or so.
Awesome episode!!!
What a monster player. Such a fan of Scar Symmetry
This was awesome. Made me feel good as well knowing this dude is using straight up Neural DSP plugins for his record. I'm doing the same on mine right now and if its good for Per, its good for me!

Awesome Interview... Per is such a crazy clean player
This is such a great interview on so many levels, straight from the beginning. Great job Ola for inviting such a great and nice character! :-D
Very happy to see your evolution Per. Wish you the best ❤
Awesome 😀

Much love Per and of course, Ola aswell
Only just discovered Per but love his solo playing , so smooth and melodic.
Looking forward to a Solar True Temperament....!
Wow. Learned so much👍
Underbart avsnitt. Bara helt underbart. Tack. ❤🤘🏼😎
Wow very nice video, Scar Symmetry is awesome. I didn't know they are coming out with a new album. Have a nice day everyone.
My god what a good Wibe interview. And everything Ola says about Nilssons playing is spot on. And who else could take the mighty Thordendal’s place???
Man, I felt like I was right there hanging out with you guys. Fantastic video guys. Thanks so much
Just Pre-ordered my Copy of Scar Semmetry new Vinyl!!!! This interview is awesome
One of my favorite guests, amazing guitarist.
huge fan of Scar Symmetry... I believe almost from the inception of the band. Greeting from Ukraine, Per :)
It would be cool to see a whole riff section where your guest plays some sick riffs!
He’s a cool guy ! No one ever mentions his work in Kaipa - beautiful music. He’s such a great composer / musician. One of my fav players of all time.
Listening to a new Scar Symmetry album I realized that this "northern music" was, it still is and most probably will be completely different musical universe than the rest of the world.. very unique attitude to composition, weird hybrid scales etc. no matter the genre (especially notable is the scandinavian jazz scene btw)!

Yes!!! Couldn’t wait for this!! Ola’s become a really good interviewer 👏👏
It's about time you bring Eloy Casagrande for this show. Best drummer on the planet right now.
Great guitar player, great interview Ola.
Probably my favorite guitarist in metal. Along with the guy who plays in the Italian band DGM, Simone Mularoni. Oh and Michael Romeo of course. He keeps evolving in subtle ways.
Per is an amazing guitar player. Very versatile.
Stilll one if my fave! Love Per!
thats my man over there, havent watch it yet and i already know its gonna be a banger
An ABSOLUTE riff-machine! 🤘
Fantastic interview. Per Nilsson is the guitar Monster Fat Cat! Master🙏❤
Per is a once in a century guitar player and musician if I said anything less I would be a fuckin liar, and on top of it he is such a light hearted fun and humble guy.

Awsome ... Thanks Sueden a solid 6 / 10 !!
the explosion at the end did it for me
Ola, please get Vogg on the show.
He's got his own show now, have you seen it? It's called "Eggnog with Vogg"
@@ScarGuitar 😏. Coming in hot with the dad joke.
Scar symmetry have a new album coming out?//!11. That made me spit coffee!
This is awesome. Also thank you for not putting the camera on Ola when Per was teaching. I prefer to imagine what that looked like. ;-)
Per is the man!
Still waiting for the Coffee With Ola - Mikael Åkerfeldt.
Needs to happen
Yes, absolutely.
awesome!!!! I'd love seeing more of the jammin together too!! I know it's probably not so easy for every episode, js.
Yoooo broooo !!!!
Nice to see you there !!
Per also did a fantastic job on the Nocturnal Rites album a few years back.
Nils Norberg left some big shoes to fill, but Per was a fantastic fit. I wish Nocturnal Rites was more active, great band. (edit: Glad he mentioned them in this video!)
Love Per and Scar Symmetry! Excited for the new album! Also, I really want one of those Strandbergs to fart around with on my lap while I'm working. The compactness seems convenient.
As much as I like Scar Symmetry, my favorite Per Nilsson guitar playing is with Kaipa.
My guitar hero, per is the reason i play guitar❤
sick lead, thanks for the demo, took me a sec to figure out that slide/tap motif
