This man is incredible. For me, he's like an exquisite mix between Buckethead's underground ingenuity and Guthrie Govan's masterful understanding of the neck. What a GENIUS
@@bradejensenWith all due respect to you dear sir,This days all steve vai do is mostly about that whammy bar thing (overused) which kinda get bored 🥱🥱 i like his songs like whispering a prayer though.....mattias playing is quit interesting as far as I'm concerned,his rhythm,licks, alternate picking etc he knows where to used that whammy bar thing..... 😁😁. Just my humble opinion,if you are offended very sorry 🙏😁
@@pzdipuing overused? i mean.. mf probably invented the hole technique, also how many on people on the planet can do it like him? none. i wouldn't criticize something without actually being able to do it.. give it a try, you might be surprised
I love this song. Im from chile, when My son has three years old, i play this vídeo and make us happy. All before the covid. Now, he is seven years old, and i don't play guitar because there is so much work. I like the song. I listened your work for the first time in the tribute to Jason becker.
in the 80's videogame creators were trying to teach a machine how to play like a human, Mattias is now telling humans that is possible to play like a machine!! AWESOME! track of the year! Thank You Man!
This is pure genius! I always liked how Mattias can manipulate the guitar, but this ... this is as if he's speaking through it! Glad to hear that he's nominated as the the best guitarist of 2014 by ProgSphere! Mind blowing, more Mattias!!
2:55 Proof that this song pays homage to Eric Johnson's "Camel's Night Out." As if it weren't already obvious. This is the best song I've heard in a long time. Nothing else sounds like it at all and it lifts my spirit when I hear it. It's perfect.
Dude, i've been in love with your work for years now and must say, once for all... Hands down: You're the most talented musician out there in AGES. The majority part of my personal guitar heros are guys people just dont know or talk about too much like Steve Stevens, Jerry Reed and so many others in their own styles, from acoustic to total cheesy virtuouso. But you are the bigger, major, crazier, spiritual, flowfull, bananas guy, that just came to reinvent the guitar and its sounds more than any other guitarrist did. You are a bless to mankind, music and the sound that ecoes trough the universe. Thank you so much, so much. I love you, you viking bastard, freak of nature Forever
I've seen so many amazing talents emerge in the last few years. But in the guitar realm, tnis man has moved me the most by far. Just like when I first heard Steve Morse, then Steve Vai, then Greg Howe, and then Guthrie Govan. They all have taken guitar in directions I never could have imagined. Fantastic! And greetings from Memphis, Tennessee U.S.A.!
Honestly, when I am in a shit mood, this is a song I reach for. The playfulness gets me every time and makes me insanely happy. Thank you for the music
The first time I heard this tune I was firsr awestruck by how complex and weird it sounded then at the end when he plays on the toy-synth I absolutely popped. If you ever had kids who played with that toy you never forget that sound (that and the very off-key cow sound 🤣). Such a wonderful, playful masterpiece. ❤
The perfect little antidote for the madness happening in the world today. For 4 minutes I can push it aside and zone out. Also, I had no idea you worked with Juanjo before Freak of the Week!
En alldeles lysande komposition. Enkel men komplex, anspråkslös men pretentiös. Kalasbra. Och en så där totalt triumferande tv-spels känsla - när man äntligen tagit sista bossen liksom. Grymt! 🙏🏻
John här från Gbg och trumslagaren i ”Eleven Pictures” för övrigt. Vi har ju en mängd gemensamma vänner men vi har ju aldrig lärt känna varandra. Med det sagt görskoj att lära känna dig genom tuben. Så mycket bra material, och precis så skönt insnöad som jag trott i alla år. Fantastiskt! 🤩
It’s really neat to see this. Freak Kitchen was one of the first albums I ever owned. “Safe To Remove Hardware” is unforgettable. Am I remembering correctly that parts of the album were recorded in a bathroom?
A rare modern guitarist who is original enough that you can recognize his style right away. Not many guitarists are like this, more like midi machines.
His legato would be insane if he went down that route,keeping all his tone uniform and smooth, you can see it when he does those burst phrases like at 2:20. But this guy is a total chameleon- love it!
Mattias, You 're a fantastic musician and this song is a wonder, il love it! Thanks very much for the inspiration and the feeling of freedom you give. Hope to meet you some day in France. All the best to you.
You and Juanjo should make a movie together! It would be SO GREAT! Love your work so much, wish I could see you play in Brazil someday...Awesome video! You're the MASTER! \m/
I have heard many musicians with a profound sensze of beauty, grace and gravity of depth who's performances are transcendant and mind expanding but I can't think of anyone else who translats his sense of humor through music like Mattias. I laughed hysterically at his playful musical jokes while being completely gobsmacked by his virtuousic technique. I would love to see him work with Les Claypool and Mohini Dey.
Been listening to Mattias IA for some years but I've never been much of one to comment on YT vids. This is a great composition imho brilliantly executed (hey - "Brilliantly Executed" - there's a freaky song title someone can use... maybe I'll use it or some variation myself. I love wordplay.) This feels almost like a happier counterpart to Vai's Salamanders in the Sun for me. Vai's tune starts out pretty happy but becomes more dissonant and somber as it progresses away from it's initial melody. You can almost hear the salamanders drying out and sticking to some rock in the sun that was too hot for them to safely traverse. Poor salamanders lol. This song puts me in a similar mood but it feels like the amphibians (which salamanders are of course) remain having a nice little frivolous time throughout. Yeeeahhh, I'm overthinking this aren't I? ;)
"Yes, I am in fact a frogressive guitarist"
Haaa
My brother was a great fan. He introduced me to your music. I remember him when I listen to you. He passed away in 2016.
It's bloody criminal that talent like this never breaks through in the mainstream.
@@jonashjerpe7421 those in the know , know.
Wouldn't be talent if so ;)
This man is incredible. For me, he's like an exquisite mix between Buckethead's underground ingenuity and Guthrie Govan's masterful understanding of the neck. What a GENIUS
@@bradejensen IA and Vai are both Zappa fans since their youth.

Seriously the best use of a children's toy. I love it when musicians sample unusual stuff.
never new u can make "cute" music shredding...love this
Ladies and Gentlemen, IA proudly presents to you:
FROG METAL !!!
Metallkoo this is more of a progressive frog 😅
@@jesiboi2494 Frogressive
I love this tune!
I love this stuff. He has an almost childlike playfulness to this song. I played this for my musician friends,
they loved it too
WTF. It took me way, wayyyyy to long to learn about this guitarist. Excellent and incredibly creative performance.
Perhaps the most incredible timing and hand-to-hand coordination I've witnessed in a virtuoso guitarist.
Loves this song, amazing, melodic, superb...great job Mathias...IA Eklund.
One of the best guitar players in the Universe. Love this songs
I love this song... thank you for creating it IA, just thank you so much!
this melody makes me smile :)
Me too. This melody cheeres me up
Who ever thought cheerful notes could be so metal

When i 1st heard this track i was freaked out by the uniqueness but i love it now.🍺🍺☮️💉💊🤘

Forever
this is the craziest thing i've ever heard and probably one of the best
Probably the most skilled guitarist in the world, all categories.
He is like the be-all end-all of guitar, and couldn't give a shit about it.
Out of this world!
It's incredibly rare I use the word "majestic" to describe anything. But, that's exactly what this song is.
There is no better fitting term that "Nintendo Metal" for Matthias Eklundhs awesome music.
Thanks for being who you are!
Un grande musicista, anche meglio di tanti nomi più in vista.
Man!! Your music, specially this song makes me so genuinly Happy! God bless you brother! Thanks for sharing this beautiful music

This is, by far, the most inspiring song I've ever heard. Thank you so much Matthias, you unleash the true power of guitars.
Also, eight years later, thank you for liking my comment. It's still the most inspiring song ever. Thanks for what you do.
I could listen to that recurring bit, like the part from 2:04 - 2:15, all day long. The guitar and drums sound perfect together.
Honestly, when I am in a shit mood, this is a song I reach for. The playfulness gets me every time and makes me insanely happy. Thank you for the music
Just saw your songs and I've finded my true idol keep it up man!
My guitar god mattias is the best,cute like frog 😁😁❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟just amazing song

This is pure genius.......
I would love to hear you play with some of those Gypsy Jazz dudes Mattias! That would be some FREAK GUITART right there!
Beautiful place ! Music as always ... \m/

Posted 7 years ago!!! How did I not hear this before! 😂😂🥲!

It’s really neat to see this. Freak Kitchen was one of the first albums I ever owned. “Safe To Remove Hardware” is unforgettable.

The first Freak Guitar album was recorded in a bathroom indeed. :)
No se cuál fue tu inspiración o cómo fue que creaste esta canción, pero me dá la impresión de que musicalizaste un cuento!. Es genial!.
Beautiful setting for a beautiful guitarist. :)
This so brilliant, it's like fresh air in the modern guitar playing, you are a true inspiration for me
This is awesome!
Excel! Thank you so much.🙌
This song is a highly contagious concentrate of smile... 😊🙏
Both the music and the video are inspiring!
A rare modern guitarist who is original enough that you can recognize his style right away. Not many guitarists are like this, more like midi machines.
Sounds like a fun Childhood memory revived... incredible
This song makes me happy. Thank you Mattias, love you
The rarest Pepe

Best double album in many years! Filled with catchy awesome music.
Thank you Mattias! You always cheer up! Great job!
I love his music.... I hope to one day make something out of this world!!
That dog at 2:01! :)
His legato would be insane if he went down that route,keeping all his tone uniform and smooth, you can see it when he does those burst phrases like at 2:20. But this guy is a total chameleon- love it!
So different, funny and happy. Cool Mattias! Nowadays is difficult find new stuff. Thanks for your work, I really like it and I appreciate it.
what an utterly brilliant mind worm !
I want that keyboard toy absolutely 😍
Mattias, You 're a fantastic musician and this song is a wonder, il love it! Thanks very much for the inspiration and the feeling of freedom you give. Hope to meet you some day in France. All the best to you.
