    Hearts on fire is the reason why i'm a metalhead. I cannot express with words how much that song means to me. Thank you!!!!!!!

      I started learning guitar a couple o weeks ago (at the age of 40) and "Hearts on Fire" riff will be my first to learn - I've chosen this one among tons of other great metal songs:).

    I like the way he's not interested in showing himself arrogant and admit without problem that he just can't play "virtuous solos" and he needs a lead guitar with him to make a complete metal band. After all, what he does with all he has and the way that he brings himself in the shows, makes you feel emotions, specialy to the people who likes the band (now, or in the past, whatever).

    • @dhonnar
      @dhonnar 3 роки тому +9

      Yes. A lot of people underrate rhythm players, not knowing they are the most important part in the song. Soloing is like 15 percent or less.

    • @Tigermaster1986
      @Tigermaster1986 3 роки тому +6

      He is a good soloist, though. Not as flashy as Pontus or Stefan, but still good. Especially if we take into consideration the fact that 17 years ago he shattered his arm rather so badly that he never recovered completely.

    I've always felt like a connection with Oscar when I almost never saw him play any solos, but instead the awesome riffs as I myself never were really interested in flashy solos and were happy enough playing riffs. Feels cool to actually hear him say this :)
