Watching your vids recently inspired me to buy a new laptop and external hard drive to write music again. After all my electric guitars and laptop were stolen, along with my buddies car, I kind of lost hope. But I still have my amps, hd500x and speakers. Now I am one step closer to writing again. ❤❤ thank you.
As an ex-marketing and pr guy i can almost garentuee that the "zero fs given" came straight from the CEO against all advice from marketing and pr. Whenever the ad is out of touch 10/10 times its executive management.
I really like and support the "Zero Fucks Given" campaign. Ok, Dimebag turned the ML model into a success but it was Dean´s creation, so they have the right to do whatever they want with it. The Dimebag state and himself already have earned enough money with it. They can also go Washburn if they want. And not forget all the legal attacks that Dean had to stand from Gibson. So, let´s give them the chance to be on the winning side when it´s fair.
@@Insekkton The Gibson copies are not their creations though. I totally support Gibson on that one, and this ad is just disrespectful and won't get them many sales I guess.
@@Insekktonyou don’t bite the hand that feeds you.. the ML may have been their shape, but the ‘Dean From Hell’ Dimebolt finish was popularized by Dimebag.. Same with signature colors such as the slime.. to go through a lawsuit with the estate that ended the long-running partnership, and continue to produce their core shape of guitars is one thing; but to intentionally continue to produce a product that the estate was not satisfied with, and market it as ‘no fucks given’ is just bad taste. They deserve to go out of business again.
Yeah, it's becoming typical that corporations openly show their disdain for consumers. It's cut the entertainment industry in half, it's ruining gaming, and has taken chunks out of retail. That ad with that particular guitar says "we know what a lot of you are going to say and we just want to give you the finger ahead of time."
If memory serves, the zero fucks given campaign was specifically an ad for their guitar called zero, which was their explorer shape which was a big fuck you to Gibson. Seems like they're just applying it to all their models now that would spark controversy.
I still think he would be right alongside Dean Zelinsky to this day and would have already started his own company just like Ola did with Solar. 🤘 Dean won't have the last laugh when Dime Guitarz finally launches and can produce brand new Razorbacks and Stealths. Their Z Glide necks and laser etched tops are sweet AF.
Love the videos and merch! It's become a part of my personal routine to wake up Sunday morning and watch the show before I head out to work. Really appreciate it! Thank you!
Ola gives alot of time and energy . We are lucky he does as much as he does and we should buy merch from Ola to help support his family. I've learned alot from his channel over the years and grateful this channel is still going and growing.
People don't realize how off timing and bad Whine-berg was, until he's not there.. that and how much of a cancer his personality is/was to the band. He's not going to last long in Suicidal Tendencies, that's for sure.
@@hhaste I figure everyone won - Infectious Grooves is killing it, SK Inc. got someone who fits the role better, and Sepultura got a new drummer who was highly respected before he got there in jazz and is crushing it if you check out his drum cams...maybe festivals will make a comeback in the US and we'll get to see them all again. It's a gig economy and the gigs are better than ever if you're kickass player.
You could tell Jay is a douche by watching videos of him laying tracks down, belt told it was great and he arrogantly responds with "Yep". Eloy is a monster with an extremely well rounded background of Latin and about everything else. Plus still young and a lot of time left with a very HUMBLE and fun personality. He's definitely the ultimate package, just watch some of his vids. He even killed Phil Collins Easy Lover with raising the BPM as he went, his fill talents show hard there, incredible! He's the hardest hitting drummer I've ever seen also. @russlell I've tripped out at Greyson going from the Jazz UA-camr to Succussion Tenancies then Sepultura and rocking it! Who'da thunk?! 🤘🤘
Man the segment about sponsored content is so true, it's clear the content you make is YOUR content and not what people pay you to say.. That's what UA-cam come to since the dropped the dislike button Thank you for all the hard work❤
Love your channel Ola ❤ I purchased Feared CDs in the past, I got myself guitar picks and a t-shirt from your store and soon will buy a guitar from Solar! Keep up pushing the merch and I will get more because you’re inspiring to me as a musician and as an individual. 🎸🥁🍻
That little smile at 25:44 - that is what it is all about man pure inspiration haha. AxeIO and Amplitube5 has been my default setup the past few years, but I largely ignored the ToneX. Well after watching your video, I "dusted off" the plugin and hooked into a tiny Vox Nutube 50w directly into a 4x12 cab. Started with your patches and wow - had a similar reaction. And the entire rig, less the cab/guitar, fits in my hand! And practically any amp / drive pedal / gate / compressor / reverb is a click away. Incredible times to be into music gear!
Keep doing what you're doing man! I love Solar guitars and I own a bunch of them and love you showing the new releases and pushing your brand and merch!!!
The Tonex One will be in my gig bag as a backup rig. Great videos. People will always knock people having success. I got to that age of NGAF. I’ve learnt more from your videos over the last decade and a bit and all for free. 👌💪👍🏻
Love your channel and don’t mind at all that you’re selling your own stuff. In fact, I fully support it. I love to see people become successful. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep rooting for you.
I'm really liking the double Ola Adventures!!! Thank you. And also would love mooooore guitars in general, even if it is just talking, not demoing haha =P
I bought a Joe Willams masterbuilt version of that SL27EX a few years ago. I kept wondering why they didn't do a production version of it. Good to see that they finally did it!
Dean's current "Zero F*ck's Given" ad campaign isnt specifically for the ML guitars. They have been using that slogan on ads for their new V and Explorer shape guitars for a few months now.
@@BadMotivator66 It doesn't seem a great advertising campaign slogan to me personally anyway, but if that's what they decided to go with for all their new releases then that's up to them. To assume it's some sort of attack on Dimebag's legacy seems a stretch to me. Is the V one an attack on Dave Mustaine?
@@rosswhite5975 yes. yes it is. they change things minimally and carry on. look at chapman once rabea left, they have models now of a similar stripe but very clearly different models. that's how you handle things with balance and tact. take the lessons and move forward.
@@BadMotivator66 well chapman have had more than enough bad press over the years so probably best they steer clear of controversial ad campaigns for now 😉
F*** yeah! That Tonex little guy sounds great. Ordered the Tonex Pedal a couple days ago. So excited! My rig has been a guitar (Dean 79V, Jackson RR1T) into a tuner, Chug pedal, Seymour Duncan PS200, and a Vader 2x12. Sounds CRUSHING!
I’m good with you doing your promos, at the end of the day ppl gotta eat and support the business side of things, and just me personally, I like seeing the new clothes and gear. So yeah…. Hell yeah lol. Plus that bad lander sounds insane! My buddy had a boogie and sold it, I thought he was crazy, I loved the sound, but to each their own.
great video. slipknot sound incredible. the new Jackson’s are sick. i cant believe dean are that out of touch also. great one again hope your back is doing ok!
SKB Studio Flyer case slaps some serious ass! My 4U one lived through a couple of flights, van rides and a two-month tour in a nightliner trailer crushed under up to 10 other rack cases, and it only has a couple of scratches. BTW, the top lid can be removed with six screws, it makes it much more comfortable to play with the rattly bits inside
For your new rig Ola. Was thinking a sliding pc keyboard tray that usually goes under alot of studio desks could be custom attached to the inside/ sides of your new rack and may work as a cool drawer system for your tonex etc. As I remember stripping a desk once. If you want to secure the tonex for travel and have access to it, it may work although, I wish you all the best in finding a rack drawer that fits and suits your needs. // To hell with viewers that think you're are just selling things. When i get an idea on something I want to check out as a Dimebag fan beginner guitarist /pro drummer, I love how you usually have a video on what I'm looking for with your honest opinions. Great riff in the intro and keep up the great work \m/
Outstanding inspirational opening, Riff ☠️ I only watch this channel for shopping information, news, and keeping my sanity 😶 Sell on, brother, because you have some good 💩 and good advice. 👍🏼
18:36 😂 the modern day master of marketing 😂😂. Damn give this commentor a discount. I, my daughter watch you because its fun, funny, informative and I love seeing beautiful guitars and equipment and playing. Keep selling, Ola.
Ola I’m glad that person will no longer be watching, less crap in your comments from comments section. You’re the best. I love watching Swola’s every Sunday. Love all your reviews on different gear. As well as info on new gear, such as your addition to the Gildan merch. Which I already have bought. Keep going Bro!!!
Actually, it looks like the Jackson that Alexi Laiho had BEFORE ESP. Jackson also did the MIJ RR24 after Laiho switched to ESP. Both have some minor differences, but if you combine elements of both, you get an exact copy almost, haha
Opening riff reminded me of Hangmans Chair. Fair play Eloy absolutely SLAYED that first show. Saw them with Jay a few years ago and he's good dont get me wrong but this is a upgrade, so much more power and aggression, EXACTLY what Slipknot needs. Loved the merch plug, absolutely nothing wrong with you featuring your merch, everybody does it. If the commenter doesnt want to see people showing merch then they might as well watch those 24hr fireplace/fishtank/black screen vids 🤣🤣
It just occurred to me that when Ola promotes his own products I've always just accepted it as part of his whole brand. It isn't jarring like those awful paid promotions people put in their videos, it fits in seamlessly and it's always a treat seeing a metalhead showing off their gear.
This gets a like for that opening riff alone
Riff was properly nuts at the start. 10/10
Watching your vids recently inspired me to buy a new laptop and external hard drive to write music again. After all my electric guitars and laptop were stolen, along with my buddies car, I kind of lost hope. But I still have my amps, hd500x and speakers. Now I am one step closer to writing again. ❤❤ thank you.
Keep strong ;)
Here’s to hoping they read this and return your gear. But either way the world needs music, welcome back!
Good luck! Always sucks to hear about gear theft, especially mid-tour and some small band.

I met Dime twice. I get the impression that he would actually laugh at the whole "Zero F***s given" thing
to meet dime is to drink with him
getcher pull brother!
I still think he would be right alongside Dean Zelinsky to this day and would have already started his own company just like Ola did with Solar. 🤘 Dean won't have the last laugh when Dime Guitarz finally launches and can produce brand new Razorbacks and Stealths.

Hi Ola, the Windstein guitar is absolutely adorable! Keep it up!
Great Ola! Thanks for doing content like this👍
Ola gives alot of time and energy . We are lucky he does as much as he does and we should buy merch from Ola to help support his family. I've learned alot from his channel over the years and grateful this channel is still going and growing.
Bro, wtf is this drummer. He just tightened the entire band omg. Never heard slipknot so tight like that.
Its eloy dude is a machine

Your honesty is appreciated Ola. Keep selling my good man!
Man we all need Ola in Crowbar now ijs 🤗
So basically triple tracked?! Love the brutal sound of that. Sounds insane, and filthy!!!
Dean doing the Dimebags
Jackson doing the Alexi Laiho pre-ESP RR24
Interesting times!
lol!! Shop shop shop!! I love Ola’s products they’re really good quality. Keep it up bro!
Awesome inlays on the X Ola! Really cool guitar.
Man the segment about sponsored content is so true, it's clear the content you make is YOUR content and not what people pay you to say..
That's what UA-cam come to since the dropped the dislike button
Thank you for all the hard work❤
Thank you Ola. For making the sundays interesting 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Banger Intro! Sounds massive
Morning Ola. I sometimes miss the live stream on a Sunday. I get inspired jamming along when ya play. 🤘🤘🤘
Hey, Ola!
👏
Killer axe there!
KILLER RIFF! 😮🤘
That intro was so sick Ola! 🤘🏻
The workshop set up stuff is really good content!
Great SWOLA as always, cheers Ola!
Keep up the good work . Great channel and sweet guitars .
Love your channel Ola ❤ I purchased Feared CDs in the past, I got myself guitar picks and a t-shirt from your store and soon will buy a guitar from Solar! Keep up pushing the merch and I will get more because you’re inspiring to me as a musician and as an individual. 🎸🥁🍻
Very cool Intro. Crowbar mixed with typical Ola Feared Chords - very interesting mixture. Great

That purple is fantastic! I love ❤that guitar, and a star model too. 😮😊
Absolute favorite swola intro ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
ohhhhh SHIIIIIIIIITT! that intro dude!!!! I love it!!!
Best opening riff you've done (imho), great stuff and Kirk's new guitar looks awesome! 😎
The Tonex One will be in my gig bag as a backup rig.
Great videos. People will always knock people having success.
I got to that age of NGAF.
I’ve learnt more from your videos over the last decade and a bit and all for free.
👌💪👍🏻
Love your show man!
Keep grinding Ola ❤🔥🙌🏽
Love your channel and don’t mind at all that you’re selling your own stuff. In fact, I fully support it. I love to see people become successful. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep rooting for you.
That opening riff, I can hear Kirk's vocals over that for sure. Killer guitar.
You hit the nail on the head with the Dean guitars section, Ola! They should have taken the high road.
I'm really liking the double Ola Adventures!!! Thank you. And also would love mooooore guitars in general, even if it is just talking, not demoing haha =P
That intro !!!!! Moooorreeee
Probably my favourite intro riff(s) yet
I bought a Joe Willams masterbuilt version of that SL27EX a few years ago. I kept wondering why they didn't do a production version of it. Good to see that they finally did it!
I like seeing your new merchandise!!
Hell yeah! Sick tone!
Dean's current "Zero F*ck's Given" ad campaign isnt specifically for the ML guitars. They have been using that slogan on ads for their new V and Explorer shape guitars for a few months now.
They've used it since 2010.
but someone had to OK it for the ML, and that was a very stupid decision

purple pointy guitar with EMG's- yes
Yessir. Been drooling over that Soloist. 😂 so glad you pushed a hoodie after that comment.

Greetings OLA!!! I've been listening to The Chug Project a lot lately, killer tunes brother!!
That intro riff was awesome!! Hope it makes it onto the next Chug project album!!
I like your merch and music 🎶 Ola you have a family and a business. I support you 100%
Man, that intro is so good. Puh-lease make a full song out of it 👌
This made my morning
I’m good with you doing your promos, at the end of the day ppl gotta eat and support the business side of things, and just me personally, I like seeing the new clothes and gear. So yeah….

great video. slipknot sound incredible. the new Jackson’s are sick. i cant believe dean are that out of touch also. great one again hope your back is doing ok!
That’s the name of the game ola most people understand especially if they run there own business like we do keep it up man content is great man
That's the nicest guitar you've shown ever. Wow... I want that.
Goddamn that intro song was fucking awesome!
I ordered my quit your instrument shirt and Chug mug. Got it in less than two weeks in the US. Thanks!
I'm in love with that soloist!

Effing HEAVY🔥🤘
I want both of the KW solar guitars in my collection so bad. Kirk Windstein has such an influence on my play style and I love Crowbar.
The riff reminds me so much about Crowbar
That intro slaps, HARD

if i had to shop from any shopping channel it would be the ola shopping channel. ola is the best!
Eloy is actually one of the best heavy metal drummers of the earth. I’m very happy for him.🇧🇷
Your intros are always killer
the number of phones at that concert was bigger than grains of sand on the sahara desert
Every video i watch always makes me grab my guitar even though I literally play everday
wow great riff man!
Outstanding inspirational opening, Riff ☠️
I only watch this channel for shopping information, news, and keeping my sanity 😶
Sell on, brother, because you have some good 💩 and good advice. 👍🏼
Holy Damn good sir, that opener was f*cking monolithic. Major stank-face was had by all. 🔥🤘🏻
18:36 😂 the modern day master of marketing 😂😂. Damn give this commentor a discount.
I, my daughter watch you because its fun, funny, informative and I love seeing beautiful guitars and equipment and playing. Keep selling, Ola.
Love these inlays, more inlays please!

As well as info on new gear, such as your addition to the Gildan merch. Which I already have bought. Keep going Bro!!!
I gotta be honest, been watching your videos on and off since 2008 and would be great to see some doom and fuzz for a change!
Glad to see doom metal get some more proper recognition with that opening riff. Shit was tasty as fuck!
i love those inlays !!
The Jackson concept rr24 looks like ESP alexi laiho signature
Actually, it looks like the Jackson that Alexi Laiho had BEFORE ESP.
Jackson also did the MIJ RR24 after Laiho switched to ESP.
Both have some minor differences, but if you combine elements of both, you get an exact copy almost, haha
More merch! 🤘 More Solars! 🤘
the wat you handled the merch comment was just perfect 👌 👍. well said
As a huge doom metal fan and someone who plays almost exclusively doom metal I really fucking dig that intro! Much appreciated!
HOLY SHIT,that intro was bad ass,more doom Ola 🔥🤘
Your are a riff God, Awesome

So Heavy!!! 🤘🤘🤘
No matter re the ToneX release video, i just watched yours :P I didn't even see anyone else had videos up about it, so that's a thing ;)
We need "Not too Shabby" merch! It's become such a staple line at this point.
It just occurred to me that when Ola promotes his own products I've always just accepted it as part of his whole brand. It isn't jarring like those awful paid promotions people put in their videos, it fits in seamlessly and it's always a treat seeing a metalhead showing off their gear.
That opening riff was f@cking awesome
Thanks, Dude.
Crowbar is a band I can never get enough of. The guys been to estonia twice and I didn't go neither times. :(
Sick !
12:07 you can have coffee, for me it's a beer break. High five Ola!
I'm in US, drinking some Southern Tier Brewing Company Summer Wheat Ale
Love the nerdy rack-building segments lately!
I'm getting that Feared hoodie! looks sick!
That intro is Riff Lord approved. Hail KIRK!!!!
Best SWOLA opening riff EVER!
