Nobody gets a chibson because of Gibson’s quality control. They get it because they can’t afford a Gibson or don’t want to pay the money for one but still want people to think they have a Gibson. It’s the height of vanity.
Love him or hate him, this is not about Glenn but about his wife and their livelihood as a family. I can't believe how many a$$holes are saying negative stuff online during this time. As a married man, my wife is everything to me, and I couldn't imagine going through that and getting 💩 from people.
Michael Angelo Batio is a great example of someone who embraced social media and is trying to reach out to new audiences. He is working on his UA-cam and instagram quite a bit. And lets not forget that sick video he was part of: Keys to the Lamborghini 🤣. Dude is a legend.
I just realized I work 12h shifts with a notebook. Gonna let it play Glenn's videos in the background. "Work smarter, not harder" as they say lmao All the best to Glenn and his wife J.
I usually log my computer in before I leave for work in the morning, cue up a playlist of Glenn's videos and head out. I get home and the world is a little better place.
You know what's one of the coolest thing about Ola? He shows us concretely that creativity is limitless. Making new riffs and solos every week, go here and there to find ideas, messing around with shi-, etc. There are so many opportunities and he presents them all. For some people, that's unreal, man. I can only make one riff and solo, and it's been more than two weeks for me to find new ideas and shi- I love this guy, his efforts, and his achievements.
The sad thing is that the guitars that were confiscated will be destroyed. They should have the headstocks sanded and branded (with a branding iron) as CF by USC (Confiscated Forgery by U.S. Customs) then given to schools for music education.
Ola!!! Hello from America!!! Hey man, I think that was rad as hell you passing on the news about Glenn. Love his channel, and been watching him since I started recording 10 years ago. Says a lot about yer character and also shows support within the community of metal recording and producing. Way cool!!!🤘🏻 Also, I think Gibson can suck a fatty and wouldn't care if they survived as a company. But yer absolutely right, no makers deserve to have instruments copied and sold without compensation. Hel, let's say I was distributing Solar git-fiddle s out of my basement....not fair to you or your makers if I'm sending out turds with the Solar name on it, and would deserve a public beating in the streets for theft. Anyways...stay real, and stay chugging!!! It's the only way🤘🏻 Mays the gods bless you during the upcoming Yule season🍻
I’m not the biggest fan of Glenn at times just due to how abrasive and rude he can be, however, any man willing to take a step back like this to take care of his family deserves respect.
So cool about Cobra Booking Agency! Our thoughts are with Glenn and his wife! Cool chop talent coming through there with the new band next year hell yeah 😊👍🏻😃 Neural DSP Quad Cortex units becoming new standard more and more cuz shit's all in there. Dope
Michael Romeo and Symphony X need to do this. He talked about having to do more touring cycles to fund the time off needed to compose/practice/record a new album. If he just interacted with fans more with live streams and some additional social media content I’m sure fans would be happy to donate more money.
Working in tech for years, I’ve gotten a ton of insight into many enterprises, and it’s very easy to see who’s going to get left behind. Overall, the guitar industry is like hospitals and banks when it comes to embracing new technologies. It’s not the companies; it’s the customers. Guitar players are more stubborn than software engineers. You all wonder why guitar shops are dying and how guitar center went from bad to worse, but not enough of us want to move with the times to make it better for us. Companies like Strandberg, while not everyone’s cup of tea, are leading electric guitar innovation, and outfits like Neural DSP ARE going to replace tube amps permanently. We can’t move forward by continuing the use of 1950s technology. Face the fact: Our culture is a dying breed, and unless we continue following the innovators, it’s going to continue getting worse. EDIT: I should clarify, it’s not just guitarists; it’s the whole music industry that still plays real instruments.
I have a couple. The woman i work with a friend of mine gave me her info. You just send her the specs you want, and a few weeks later, you have a Gibson for a fraction of the price. I have tons of real Gibsons I am putting online for sale, and I do not sell the replicas unless locally and on the back of the headstock I make sure to put “replica”. Although they play well and I plan on just keeping them to bash around or whatever. But yes quality is getting better and better and if you aren’t an avid Gibson collector, do your homework or you’ll end up scammed. The best way to tell is if it seems to be true, if most definitely a fake. Hope this helps some because some Chinese brands are becoming better quality than the real thing! Cheers!
My youngest son was born in 1991. He hates the internet, but he feels he has to use it. He doesn't text anyone unless you text him first....sometimes lol
@OlaEnglund Consider backups of your hard drives, in your new office. Whenever possible, it's always best to store backups like this in a separate location.
Breh, I'm an older millennial and I don't even want to bother with social media promoting. I've tried to do a PERSONAL thing on the regular and gave up after bothering trying to upload ONE video properly. It took all my energy of the day and I hated the process. - This is one of the reasons I gave up on wanting to be a known artist, because I went into it in the early 2000s, when things were very different, and then the world changed... for the worse, in my view.
If enough people do the same, Glenn will hopefully have enough revenue to stay afloat and be able to devote his time to care for his wife during her recovery, which is _the_ most important time following any life-changing health emergency. I saved the Glenn Fricker playlist in a bookmark, and re-save it each day on the last video I 'watch'. I play them at double speed with the volume muted, I'm at 290 videos in only a few days.
Question: can you explain the differences between video formats when you would upload a music-video on UA-cam? And in particular, if I want upload an album of my music with an image, and so making a video, wich format should I use? Thank you for your contribution to the community
I am not a gear guy and i dont know a lot about Glenn Fricker but i wish for his wife a better time ahead. The reason why i write here is to tell you that this is maybe a worst SWOLA ever. Not one second with Pix. You have to do better and have Adventures with Pix. You can do it.
You're lucky Ola - I was working at a research facility and we came across a mystery safe. Finally managed to track down the owner, who wasn't sure what was in it - they tried a few combos and managed to get it unlocked. They opened it and immediately slammed the door shut. Safe was FULL of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals - ones where if they touch your skin, you may was well update your will. And yeah - I've been keeping a Spectre Digital playlist running since Glenn made his announcement.
@@woody8577 You'd think so - but it is Government run, been around for over 80 years, ten's of thousands of employees through that time, hundred's of millions in assets, materials, chemicals and equipment bought over the years etc etc.
How's your back doing? I've had 3 low back surgeries and and good bit of Titanium hardware installed into my spine. I'm really metal now. Lol. If you have any questions about anything I'd be happy to answer anything I can. BTW! I've been watching Glen's videos and passed the info. to my friends when he posted it.
Just remember when working for the Cobra Agency you will always have to look over your shoulder for G.I.Joe. Now you know and knowing is half the battle. GO JOE!
I look at social media (in this activity) like a hammer. It's a tool for building things and if ( key word here ) you do it well, then you are able to build something great. But like everything else, you need to be careful and focus on doing things well.
TICKETS FOR THE ESCAPE THE INTERNET @Bernthguitar / @CharlesBerthoud / @OlaEnglund TOUR can be found here - bit.ly/3WBqCLE
Media is plural. Medium is the singular word.
Come to Ireland :(
Our hearts and Prayers are with Glenn and his Wife...Praying she makes a strong recovery.👍
And speedy recovery
As a Gibson owner, if their current quality was a bit better and their prices weren’t so ridiculous, maybe the fake market wouldn’t be so strong.
Ah the Ole, wants gold for penny prices
The Ole, wants American made quality for Chinese prices
@@JBmusicart But now you're getting Chinese made quality for American prices, I've sworn off Gibson after 3 attempts
Nobody gets a chibson because of Gibson’s quality control. They get it because they can’t afford a Gibson or don’t want to pay the money for one but still want people to think they have a Gibson. It’s the height of vanity.
@@bfunkadelicmusic
Somehow I think Gibson will survive
It's so heartwarming to see so many people support Glenn
Love him or hate him, this is not about Glenn but about his wife and their livelihood as a family. I can't believe how many a$$holes are saying negative stuff online during this time. As a married man, my wife is everything to me, and I couldn't imagine going through that and getting 💩 from people.
Awesome intro riffs! Support Glenn.
Michael Angelo Batio is a great example of someone who embraced social media and is trying to reach out to new audiences.
He is working on his UA-cam and instagram quite a bit.
And lets not forget that sick video he was part of: Keys to the Lamborghini 🤣.
Dude is a legend.
MAB is treated so badly by the guitar community. He's cool and is immensely talented.
He seems like such a genuinely great guy who is absolutely passionate about playing the instrument. How could anyone dislike him?
Didn't know about this. Cheers
I've heard really bad backstage stories of him and his ego back in the 90's and 00's. I don't know how he behaves now when he is away from the cameras
Agreed. That dude has been keeping current for decades and still surprises people with his skills
I've had SMG on 24-7. Just put a Playlist on loop. Praying for them
Yeah I basically shut the sound through chrome off and just let his playlist run while i spend 10-14 hours a day at the computer
me too
Family First!! Support Glenn!
So grateful for all you do for us and the culture..Thanks Ola!!!
Quitting social media was one of the best things I ever did. I can get why some bands don't like it.
It's an unproductive waste of time.
I just realized I work 12h shifts with a notebook. Gonna let it play Glenn's videos in the background. "Work smarter, not harder" as they say lmao
All the best to Glenn and his wife J.
I usually log my computer in before I leave for work in the morning, cue up a playlist of Glenn's videos and head out. I get home and the world is a little better place.
I don't know why, exactly, but seeing the Chug pedal prototype made me very happy.
So glad that you have a backup copy of Slash's DNA on that cup. Very important if you have to replicate him in the future. LOL
i agree with glenn family first. always good content here.
since Glenn made the announcement I have been liking about 4 videos a day and will continue to do this until he is back.
You know what's one of the coolest thing about Ola? He shows us concretely that creativity is limitless. Making new riffs and solos every week, go here and there to find ideas, messing around with shi-, etc. There are so many opportunities and he presents them all.
For some people, that's unreal, man. I can only make one riff and solo, and it's been more than two weeks for me to find new ideas and shi-
I love this guy, his efforts, and his achievements.
Dropping an F bomb while talking about Glenn Fricker.... Very on the nose, Ola.
😂😂😂

I love SWOLA Sundays. Hello from Binghamton New York

Woot one of the 2% ladies who watches Ola! I watch SWOLA every week with my partner.
Wow man that Dime Slime right there? at that price? Absolute steal! Imma get it right away, LESSSS GO!
Watching Sunday with Ola on Sunday evening in Australia! Another great episode, thank you Sir 🤗
I see Devin Townsend's name, I stop, look and listen. 🤘🏼
UFF DA!!!! HELLO FROM MINOT ND USA
Some great topics and discussions today, Ola, MORE PLEASE!
I’m not the biggest fan of Glenn at times just due to how abrasive and rude he can be, however, any man willing to take a step back like this to take care of his family deserves respect.
Same. I really don't like the guy but I wish him no ill will.
Watching this on mute while my wife sleeps with her head in my lap, never miss an ola video
Will she chug??
😅🤣😂😄!!
Well wake her ass up or she's gonna miss it
About time the chibsons were snagged lol
support glenn , he have thousands of videos to watch !
Have you had fake solar guitars yet? Cholars?
So cool about Cobra Booking Agency! Our thoughts are with Glenn and his wife!
Cool chop talent coming through there with the new band next year hell yeah 😊👍🏻😃
Neural DSP Quad Cortex units becoming new standard more and more cuz shit's all in there. Dope
Thanks for revealing the contents of the sack in the safe, Ola.
That guitar in the intro is holy hell, sick.
Ola please play GAME OVER on your tour and work on getting an incredible live capture for us North American fans. Thank you!
Michael Romeo and Symphony X need to do this. He talked about having to do more touring cycles to fund the time off needed to compose/practice/record a new album.
If he just interacted with fans more with live streams and some additional social media content I’m sure fans would be happy to donate more money.
Tack för dagens video. alltid bra en start på söndags morgonen. Lev väl. Pinge

The Chug Project is on fire 🔥🔥 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That new finish is SiCK!
Awaking too early on a Sunday and seeing my first live SWOLA 😅 Need to get up more often

Sorry your shipment got seized.
I saw a Dime Slime guitar for sale on FB Marketplace about a month ago for about $800. It sucks being broke.
My youngest son was born in 1991. He hates the internet, but he feels he has to use it. He doesn't text anyone unless you text him first....sometimes lol
I'm 65 and I love the internet. Just saying
Maybe Ola does some guest hosting videos on Glenn’s channel?!?! 🤘🤘
@OlaEnglund Consider backups of your hard drives, in your new office. Whenever possible, it's always best to store backups like this in a separate location.
Ola you would be fantastic on Sirius xm satellite radio as a personality
The Chief Marketing Officer, finds this super emotional…
That opening tune gave me stank face all day!!!!

Happy Sunday, y'all
Right back 'atcha.
In 2001 I sold my '99 USA Dimeslime and my Warhead full stack + Furman PQ3. Ugh. Much regret. Won't be cheap to get them back now!
19:12 Now Tencent wants to steal your safe wow😆
Social media has ruined society. Its best use is for sales promotion, so I don't blame people selling things being there.
That guitar intro almost reminded me of the very beginning of the Ghostbusters Theme song.
If enough people do the same, Glenn will hopefully have enough revenue to stay afloat and be able to devote his time to care for his wife during her recovery, which is _the_ most important time following any life-changing health emergency.
I saved the Glenn Fricker playlist in a bookmark, and re-save it each day on the last video I 'watch'.
I play them at double speed with the volume muted, I'm at 290 videos in only a few days.
Riffs reminded me of the band Merauder. Sic bro!
What amp are you using for these SWOLAS? My thoughts are with Glenn and hope his wife makes a 100% recovery!
Great show Bro 👊🏻🔥🤘🏻
We can all rest easy knowing that Slash's DNA has been preserved for future generations.
Question: can you explain the differences between video formats when you would upload a music-video on UA-cam? And in particular, if I want upload an album of my music with an image, and so making a video, wich format should I use? Thank you for your contribution to the community
That murdered out new Canibolism V guitar is sick as fuck!🤘
Charles Beartooth is my fave bassball.
That opening riff is killer \m/
Game on
Sick riffs dude 🤟🤟🤟🤟
good luck on this tour man
Hey Ola I tagged you on a video on TikTok… well you’ll prolly never see it but here I am…. Hello! 🤘🏻
Man, you need to release a 7-String canibalismo svart. Damn, that guitar is beautiful
My wife had a question this morning about the flame units, she would like to know how long you think it would take to grill a sausage on one?
Papa Het has entered the chat.
Slash’s cup lol
I am not a gear guy and i dont know a lot about Glenn Fricker but i wish for his wife a better time ahead.
The reason why i write here is to tell you that this is maybe a worst SWOLA ever. Not one second with Pix. You have to do better and have Adventures with Pix. You can do it.
Ola almost smashed the slash glass.😱
Shiit, I can't wait. I hope Ola bought that Dime Slime from Frank
Regarding the tour. You should consider building a redundant setup in case the presonus crashes. 🤘🤘🤘
Ola, have you tried power attenuators?
HAPPY SWOLA!!!!! NEW Killswitch RULES! Also thoughts out ther for Glenn's wife! Speedy recovery!
oh dream coffee with Ola, Adam&Joel
I haven't laughed as hard as I did at 13:38 in a long time, thank you, gentlemen! XD (I'm still laughing.)
OLA FEST!!!
You're lucky Ola - I was working at a research facility and we came across a mystery safe.

Something like that should've been well documented. That's pretty careless, imo.
@@woody8577 You'd think so - but it is Government run, been around for over 80 years, ten's of thousands of employees through that time, hundred's of millions in assets, materials, chemicals and equipment bought over the years etc etc.
Ola you gotta try bernths guitar, i wanna see that and you give a review on it.. been waiting for your review of that ibanez for a minute
I'm build my own DimeSlime, and I'm happy. But I need to get right sound on FM3 now.
How's your back doing? I've had 3 low back surgeries and and good bit of Titanium hardware installed into my spine. I'm really metal now. Lol. If you have any questions about anything I'd be happy to answer anything I can. BTW! I've been watching Glen's videos and passed the info. to my friends when he posted it.
Please consider visiting Spain in further tours, Ola!
Cool guy club!
Now we all want to know what was in the grey bag.
That V man !..!
Cool Ola great news
The guitar prices situation is crazy!
Social media. I'm against it. Pretty sure that is what The Ramones would say.
Question: what happened with the house you bought? You had plans to make a studio and bought the nice cart from ikea. Still living there ?
Just remember when working for the Cobra Agency you will always have to look over your shoulder for G.I.Joe. Now you know and knowing is half the battle. GO JOE!
Wonder whether if those fakies were better quality than originals. :D
won't be near the quality of an epi.

Those Chibsons probably have a better construction than the Authentics.
At least they're not Cholars.
I want a full song of this intro now.
