Hey, what's up everyone? It's Ola Englund back with a new FAQ video!
I'm gonna do a couple of things different this time.
I'm gonna play a videogame while answering your questions and ...
I have no idea how this is gonna proceed or how it's gonna work
I'm just gonna test for this video and we'll just see
I just want to play more videogames I haven't played VR in a good while
so I'm just happy to be able to play some Surgeon Simulator, okay?
So, let's just try it out and see how it works.
The way I'm solving this is that ... Oh, here are my hands obviously. Can I see those? Yeah, good.
What I'm trying to figure out here is ...
What? Oh sh-
Hello?
Shut the f*** up. Okay.
Oh, that's how you do it.
So ... Yeah, I figured I've already played this game, but not the VR version
So this is gonna be a lot more exciting I think.
First question, let me see if I can ...
"Why made in Indonesia?"
Well ...
The factory in Kazakhstan was closed for renovations, that's why.
No, the reason why I went with Indonesia is actually because it's from extensive research.
We actually tried 8 different overseas factories in Asia
We had six different guitars made by these 8 different factories
So, 8 different factories made the exact copy of our guitars
And then we had them sent to Amsterdam, I got to go there and try out all the guitars
So, I got a chance to try all these overseas factories, like, the important ones
And from that experience, we chose this one in Indonesia for making the best and nicest looking guitars
So that's the reason why we went with indonesia, it's ...
It's not ... Yeah, that's why.
So I'm just gonna cut this belly here ...
There you go.
Cut ... please sir.
Okay, there you go.
There it is, let's put that over here.
Oh, It's your new friend, look.
"Hi Ola, what is your opinion about people who make covers of your songs?"
About people making guitar covers ...
I mean, when I make covers, for instance, for bands ...
You know, it's my way of paying tribute to that band
So, when someone makes a cover out of my music
I think it's the nicest form of flattery, I must say
People take time to learn my songs and make a video and upload it to youtube or whatever
I mean, that my music is good enough to make covers off, that's just insane, that's weird, that's weird.
So yeah, I'm very flattered when people make covers of my songs
It's definitely something super weird actually.
I make covers for my favorite bands too and I love doing it, because I love playing other people's songs.
Okay, how do we do this?
"Why do you not iron your t-shirts"
Why, don't I iron my t-shirts, that's ... yeah
Who the f*** irons his t-shirts anyway? Like ...
Seriously dude, if you iron your t-shirts, please send me a picture when you're ironing your t-shirts.
How metal is that? It's not really metal now, is it? Huh? I'm gonna fix this.
Come on.
Look, there's a new friend of yours.
Look, look how beautiful I'm holding this scalpel right here, it's ...
It's like I'm a ... you know, exquisite type of surgeon.
There it is, now I can wear it myself.
On my dick.
"Hey Ola, should I sell my Washburn Dimebolt 333 I've had for about 20 years
"and only played about ten times as I don't want to get any dings in it
"take the money and put it towards a new Solar."
Mh, that sounds more like you're trying to get me interested in your Washburn Dimebolt
and then make an exchange for a Solar Guitar, that's what that sounds like to me. So ...
No, I'm not interested. Yes, I agree, you should definitely get a Solar Guitar instead.
Because ... I don't know I kind of think they're good. But then again, I work for the company.
Let's remove these little balls here real quick.
It's fine. He's not losing any blood, so this is fine.
There.
No
I want to write 'cock' in his face, come on!
Here. No, that does not work.
Blamo! Look.
How good am I?
"Why did you forsake what brought your initial success: your amp reviews.
"it's not like, they stopped making new amps, you know. How, about a new top ten metal amps?"
Well, the thing is that, you know ... obviously when I started my youtube channel I had to
Okay, what's going on?
Alright, what's this?
Okay ...
Okay, so when I started making my youtube videos, I was mainly making amp demos, okay?
You know, at some point I'm bound to run out of metal amplifiers to try out
And I wanted to try new things and that's what I've been doing.
I mean, it's not like I stopped with the amp videos or anything like that.
Oh, I can't see shit
What's going on?
Okay.
What the hell is it? I'm drunk.
Alright. Okay, let's fix this, it's fine to be drunk.
Ooh, this is hard.
Okay.
Quick
Grab
Brain
Before it dies. Where is it? I can't see! No!
Yes!
I got it.
What was I saying? I mean, it's not like I stopped making my amp videos
I've just released one for the Peavey Invective
It's just that, you know, I'm doing a lot more now. I'm doing, you know, talking , I'm doing ...
Obviously FAQs with videogames, which is stupid, I guess.
But yeah, I'm just doing so much more now. That's just how it is.
"Hey Mr Englund, any special plans for when you hit 200k subs? Maybe a giveaway?
"or maybe we should all give you something."
You know, I haven't really thought that much about it, so ...
But do you really celebrate 200k subs?
I don't know, it makes more sense to do with a 250 k subs, right? Like, a quarter million, okay?
What the hell am I doing here?
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to do.
I mean, maybe for 250 I might do something, you know. Do a giveaway ...
Fart in a jar ...
And send it to someone, I don't know.
Oh! Okay ...
Is that ... ?
What the hell? That's his eyelid!
Okay, I broke the game, good.
Take it easy. Buddy, I'm just here to help.
Stop that eyelid!
I know what might help. Where's the hammer?
Okay.
Stop it, okay?
Good talk.
'And it was going so well ...' I agree.
Before the next question, I want to know what I'm supposed to do here.
I have a bunch of eyes here, so I guess ...
What's this? A pill?
Oh no. Okay, is that for me?
No.
Okay, I'm supposed to cut off these goggles ...
Maybe?
Like that?
Look at you man, what's wrong?
So, how do I do this? Can I grab an eye?
What the hell do I do? Okay.
I wonder ... Whoops. Okay.
It's stuck in there. Oh, I think I got it!
Oh, it's ... Oh, there it is, okay. I got it.
Okay, there it is. No eye? We're fine, we're fine. So, do the same on this side too maybe.
Look at that, okay. So we have to replace, what eyes do we have?
Okay.
Okay, any more?
Ooh, an 8-ball!
Can I take that?
A ++, okay I'm way too good at this game now.
"Hey Ola, what's your favorite Dream Theater song and album, and why?"
Okay, this is a great question. I think I might have answered this before
but my favorite Dream Theater album is definitely Falling Into Infinity
And I know that it's like one of the albums that a lot of "real" Dream Theater fans, "real", think is the worst one
But you know, that's what got me into Dream Theater
I recognized, or found, John Petrucci while I was in a music store. I had found his Rock Discipline video
What am i supposed to do here?
Oh, fix his teeth?
So, I found the video Rock Discipline
and then I first discovered John Petrucci and his Rock Discipline before I discovered Dream Theater
Holy shit, that's awesome.
One
What?
Brutal murder? Come on!
I love Falling into Infinity, because it has the most melodic Dream Theater songs in their career, I must say.
And a lot of people didn't like that album, because they think that they were controlled by the record label.
But you know what? I like the songs, they're good. I like the melodic Dream Theater a lot.
Huh?
What am I ... ?
He's not dead.
There you go, new teeth for you.
Careful, there's some more.
How do I ... ?
Oh, look, it worked!
Wow, okay.
So, yeah, my favorite song of the album is definitely Trial of Tears
One of the best Dream Theater songs ever, okay?
" 'narfnrnyet' Ola, I'm learning Swedish
"but except for the language itself and metal, I have no good exploitation" ...
Good exploita-?
"good explanation why I'm doing it, can you provide one?"
Yeah, I have a good one actually. You should ... You know ...
A good reason why to learn Swedish is that you can send me an email in Swedish
You can send me an email or a message on facebook and ... I ...
will probably not respond back in Swedish
But I'm just ... I'm just ... You know, I'm just telling it like it is.
It's ... You know, I'm having a hard time answering all the emails right now, it's ...
It's not as easy as it was back in the day, because nowadays I get a lot of emails
Go away, Mr. Lamp.
I just want to fix this guy. Ooh.
Oh, that was my drone box.
"Hey Ola, what is the best way getting your band known?
"I do have confidence in the music immensely, but everyone thinks of something different in the band.
"What do you say?"
What makes your band big nowadays? It's hard to know, man, it's ...
It's not easy being in a band, you know. And starting from the bottom it's almost impossible to be honest
And ...
Okay.
I would probably just stick to making videos probably.
The problem nowadays is that you have to find all the ways possible to make your music heard, you know?
Whoops, wrong tooth. Whoops, nose.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, but I think, like, what you need to do now is basically ...
You need to capture the audience with something and I see a lot of bands doing this
And that's ... I don't want to encourage people to do this
but I guess it's the only way to get kind of recognized or get fame quick
is to make a really really good cover of a band
If you really wanna make it and make it quick, I think this is ...
This is probably like ... you have to make a video that's viral, or a piece of music that goes viral basically
but that's just how it is, I mean that's what internet has kind of like become.
"Hi dadOla, did you find any bad guitars while you do QC? Or all guitars was just perfect without any issues?"
Well, one of the reasons why I go to Indonesia in the first place for QC
is because it's just a lot easier to detect problems while I'm there instead of doing it while I'm going to ...
Ooh, what the hell is this?
I'm on a road.
Shit.
Okay, this is fine.
The reason I go there mainly is to detect if there's a problem before the guitar gets shipped to ... Spain.
All the guitars are basically perfect
then there's like maybe a one or two percent of the guitars, that has some ...
Usually it's like a manhandling
Maybe a finish issue, like a small dot that's, you know, it's usually like on a ...
For say on a white guitar, like a satin white, there's a small black dot or something like that
and the good thing about detecting that while I'm at the factory, is because then I can just ...
Throw it out on the street.
No, because then I can ask them there to clean it up and they clean it up and it's fine after that, so ...
That's why I love going there, because that means that I can take care and make sure
that every guitar that gets shipped to Spain are in absolutely awesome condition.
So ...
And now I'm gonna fix this guy.
Dropping the mic.
Okay.
These are worthless
Yes!
Yes, how can I help you?
Okay, alright I think I'm done actually
So, yeah this was kind of hard to stay focused on answering the questions
It's kind of hard, maybe I should do a separate gaming channel for this
Let me know what you think. Would it make sense for me to make a separate gaming channel?
I don't know
Tell me. I want to do this, but I want to concentrate on the game itself as well, so yeah, okay.
Unfortunately I have a bit of sad news as well
If you've been following my latest FAQs
I've been talking about Scott and his brother Steven, who's been ill from cancer
and how I contacted him and sent him a bunch of merch and stuff like that
Unfortunately, I got messaged in the comment in the latest FAQ video that Steven has now passed away
And I'm very saddened to hear this, but I've also become very proud of you guys
And you know, you all guys sent him well wishing and ...
You know, the community just coming together like this and just showing love basically.
I'm ... it makes me so proud, it's ...
You know, you basically are showcasing why you guys are the best
Thank you so much Scott and Steven for showing us for a brief moment what's important in life, you know.
And that family matters the most.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for watching this video guys, take care of your family and see you next time.
