[Swedish] Oh shit, the cable.
Phew
OK.
Alright, so uh...
I guess I can go and sit in the other room now.
What's up everyone? And welcome to Sunday with Ola 72.
Heeey-oh let's go.
How about that intro?
Calm your tits.
I'm not gonna do that every Sunday with Ola, it's...
It was just...
I just did it right now, because I wanted to show my new wall.
Wasn't it a cool wall?
Super amazing wall.
Can we talk about this?
Look at this... f***ing hell, I think this is my new favorite finish
when it comes to guitars, man, holy shit.
This is the new A2.6FR...
PN... yes.
Pink Neon...
In Cannibalismo-- I mean...
Look at that.
We are now finally getting, you know...
...the guitars for 2022, so we will--
You know, continue on and release guitars.
For... you know, almost every week now.
And this is the second new guitar that we have.
We have more new guitars as well, you know, but...
For me, personally...
Because these are the new ones that get shipped to us.
I mean, look at this, this is silver...
...Cannibalismo right there, with an Evertune, an A1.6
A2.6, holy shit, man.
I'm super stoked about these, and...
To my knowledge, I haven't seen a guitar that looks like this before.
So I'm extremely excited about these guitars, actually.
How does it sound?
Like that, OK?
I didn't do a pick-throw, I have to do it now... there you go.
Another thing I'm really excited about is that...
Solar Guitars have hard cases now, again
And we have a new hard case, a new molded case
And we've just got a shipment...
...of them to Spain right now, I'll see if I can show you the picture.
And show you the picture of the actual hard case.
And we've been sold out on hard cases for a long long time.
Finally we have new ones, they look f***ing incredible.
I don't have one physically right here.
I have a sample, but it's...
It's not the finished product, so I don't wanna show that.
But I can show you the pictures.
Around here... look at that.
Here it is, look at that.
Good looking case right there, for all the different types, OK?
solar-guitars.com
Great.
Alright, enough talk.
The news, you guys, OK? Let's go.
Alright, we have a fair bit of news today, so...
We're just gonna head straight into it.
The first piece of news is that Gibson is preparing to sell NFTs
of its most famous models.
Now...
Don't get me started on NFTs.
It's basically a form of crypto
but it's tied together with...
...an image, a digital image.
I don't care about that, that's an NFT thing.
What I care about in this piece of news is that...
Gibson filed for trademark registrations... registrations
for the uniquely shaped body portion of six of its most famous models.
Les Paul, Flying V, SG, Thunderbird, Explorer, and the ES
And they filed it under...
"cover the categories of downloadable multimedia files
"containing artwork, text, audio, and video relating to music and entertainment
"authenticatedby non-fungible tokens."
OK, they're doing it for the NFTs.
Right? That's... you know...
That's the news right there.
But I think they actually applied for the trademark
just to try and justify...
...their initial trademark that they had.
You know, back in the day for their models, that...
The one trademark that they didn't withhold.
Which is why, you know, a lot of brands today are making Explorer-shaped guitars...
And V guitars...
And basically got away with it.
Because Gibson weren't upholding their trademark.
So I think with this...
They're probably kinda... you know, trying to solidify
their trademarks that they had
by, you know, extending them.
The news was that they're gonna sell NFTs.
But I think the news is that...
...They're trying to solidify their old trademarks by doing this.
Ha?
No? OK, f*** you.
OK, let's check out these guitars made from reclaimed ocean plastic
skateboards, and coffee beans.
OK, so this is a guy who's building guitars and basses
using different weird shit.
And uh...
You know, basically recycling things, which I think is good.
It's a good environmental thing.
So he built a guitar out of ocean plastic.
Hello?
OK, so he found ocean plastic and he built a f***ing guitar out of it.
Let's just skip.
Look at that.
I think that's a cool idea, he also built a bass out of lego.
Gluing the pieces together.
[Video] It weighs only over 7 pounds, which is perfect.
Sick.
OK, building a guitar out of 14 skateboards.
That's pretty cool.
That's a cool thing about the different, you know...
How they put skateboards together with all these different pieces and colors
It's actually really cool, and you can see here how it turned out.
It looks pretty badass actually.
Coffee beans.
He built a guitar out of 5,000 coffee beans.
I mean, because why not?
I mean, I'd just rather have coffee, but this is pretty cool.
So I guess he had coffee beans and epoxy, I didn't watch the full video.
But yeah, it's...
Cool idea to, you know, make guitars out of weird shit.
And definitely the part about doing it using...
...ocean plastic, because I mean, we have a...
...and abundance of ocean plastic that we can get rid of.
Why not just make a guitar out of that?
And then make a piece of news.
I like this.
I don't know if you guys stayed on top of things
when it came to Judas Priest,
but they announced initially that they were gonna do a tour as a 4-piece.
Because Andy Sneap, the producer and engineer
couldn't make the date.
And the internet got upset.
Like, insanely upset.
They wanted Andy Sneap to play in the band.
Well, he's back, he's doing the tour, so...
We can knock that out of the list right there.
They got a fair bit of marketing, and uh...
Some hype around it, and they fixed it.
That's how you solve things, man.
Ghost has a new single.
That's gonna demonetize and block this video.
So, we're gonna see if I can add this piece of news or not, but...
It's...
It's a pretty heavy song, man.
I also heard some news that Fredrik Åkesson of Opeth
recorded a fair bit of the guitars on this album.
And I think that's what Ghost is right now.
Basically just the singer and a bunch of...
...you know, studio musicians.
And then for a live he's just using, you know, session guys.
I mean, if you have a mask, no one cares.
And th-- It's genius.
Because then people can't see who's playing the guitar
and then he can just use a cheap guitar, man.
How about that? I think it's incredibly smart.
You know? No?
So they announced a new album, Impera.
It's coming out sometime soon, I guess.
And uh... yeah, maybe it's good, maybe it's bad.
We'll have to see, maybe Louise and me can make a review out of that album.
These metal albums turn 40 years old in 2022.
OK, OK, OK.
40 years old, man.
I'm 40 years old.
So, all these albums came out in 1982, I guess.
Accept - Restless and Wild, OK...
Alice Cooper...
Anvil... Metal on Metal, holy shit.
It's a classic, we--
I spat on my floor right there.
This is such a cool riff, man.
Did you see the documentary?
It's f***ing the best documentary.
Go check it out if you haven't already.
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast... video not available.
Understandable.
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
Kiss...
Krokus, Manowar...
Metal Massacre... I mean...
These are not necessarily albums that were....
...important to me, you know?
In particular Motorhead, Iron Fist... Damn.
Raven, Rose Tattoo, Rush...
Scorpions, TNT, Twisted Sisters...
Van Halen... Venom. I mean, Venom...
Obviously a very iconic albums, the Black Metal album.
When was Kill 'Em All released? Kill... 'Em... All...
'83, OK, so...
OK, OK, next year Kill 'Em All
will turn 40 years old, that's cool.
Heading into the videogame world.
Microsoft purchased and acquired, or...
...planned to acquire Activision, which is a...
I mean, that's a huge merger right there.
And the Microsoft CEO hints at a potential new...
...platform, or the IP Guitar Hero.
So, apparently, they're trying to bring back Guitar Hero.
I thought it was a shit game.
But maybe because, you know, I was playing guitar, but...
You know, the cool thing about Guitar Hero and all...
You know, Rock Band and all those, is that...
It made people start playing guitar.
So I think this is great news.
Because why not bring in more guitar players into the world?
That just means more potential customers
for solar-guitars.com hello?
Look at this.
I'm not necessarily a fan of very big companies
acquiring the smaller companies, and becoming a... you know...
...a big-ass company with all the smaller...
...you know, studios, underneath 'em.
You know, I like competition.
But let's just see what happens.
OK, Gene Hoglan
has parted ways with Testament, now...
What a drummer, man.
First time I heard Demonic with Testament... holy shit.
You know, it was the first time Testament really went, like, almost death metal.
Go listen to that album if you haven't, like, just the first song.
Give it a chance, man.
It's such an underrated album.
But often overlooked by fans.
Gene Hoglan does the drums on that album, they're...
Mwah... amazing.
Anyways, he's parting ways with Testament o--
It seems like they had a schedule problem.
Uh... which means that he probably has something else
happening, Dark Angel, I guess?
Maybe? I don't know.
Maybe Dark Angel are coming back? That would be cool.
That was Gene Hoglan's band right there, back in the day.
Sucks that he's out of Testament.
But there are a lot of other drummers out there well fitting for Testament, so...
Maybe Tempesta can come back.
Dave Lombardo probably not.
Most likely Tempesta, I guess.
Cannibal Corpse Frontman George Corpsegrinder Fisher
releases new solo track "On Wings of Carnage", OK.
I've already covered the first single from...
Uh... C-- You know, Corpsegrinder solo album coming out.
But listen to this asshole.
I mean, f***, I think the first one was good.
But this new single is f***ing brilliant and amazing.
I mean...
It's like a really good mixture of modern Morbid Angel
and some Swedish death metal.
It's f***ing brilliant.
Reminds me of Bloodbath a lot.
I think Erik Rutan has a very very big...
...influence on what happened on this album
So, I think...
Thumbs up for Erik Rutan and Corpsegrinder
I'm looking forward to this album.
February 4th, it's... out this coming week.
F*** me, man, it's gonna be great.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
Alright, Ihsahn of...
You know, Emperor and himself...
...has teamed up with Matt Heafy.
I haven't heard this song.
I think... I wanna hear it.
Project Ibaraki, OK.
Obviously Matt and Ihsahn, both very talented musicians.
Merging together...
To... and forming a...
Ibaraki, that's what they call it.
That's a cool picture right there.
Ghost of Tsushima, baby.
Great game.
The hell was that?
Is that the chorus?
I was not ready, what was that?
Dude, this reminds a little bit of what Opeth did back in Watershed
when they introduced, like, clean singing and grinding right there.
That's pretty cool, man, so that's the new Ibaraki debut single
Tamashii No Houkai
That's pretty cool, can't wait to listen to more.
Last but not least for the news...
We have to talk about something really f***ing cool that dropped this past week.
Thalos 2688
released a raw recording of a tape recorder
from the studio session of Metal Magic, Pantera.
OK? One of the pre Cowboys From Hell albums.
It's basically him just sitting...
...with a tape recorder on the desk in the studio.
While Pantera... Dimebag and Vinnie Paul are jamming.
And you know, recording drums.
It's...
I was a slightly younger drummer at another high school and would...
go to the BOwie football games to watch my sister
but I always ended up sitting next to the Bowie drum line.
Vince played snare and we chatted a lot about drumming and music.
One day he invited me to the studio to watch him and his brother Darrell
recording their new album
which didn't have a name at the time, but became Metal Magic.
I did send it to Vince's drum tech in 2016
but he said I was a scammer who obviously stole it
so I don't think Vince ever heard it before he died.
In 2019 I also sent it to Terry Glaze, the Pantera singer of 1983.
He thanked me and said 'Blast from the past', so...
Shit, man.
The cool thing about this is that...
There's a lot of, like, really cool talk between the guys in the background
And then there's some occasional jamming and soundchecking, and...
You know, checking drums and whatnot, it's really f***ing cool, you can hear some...
Excerpt of these earlier songs.
You know?
And like, just in-between talk.
This is a hidden gem, guys.
And it doesn't have too many views, man, it's just 1,000 views.
I don't understand, it should have more.
So, if you have 1 hour 20 minutes over...
Just, you know, put this on in the background, just listen, it's just as...
It's just like being in the studio with Pantera.
In the glam era.
So f***ing cool.
And that, right there, was the news, thank you so much.
Alright, let's talk about Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge.
That has been going on for how many years?
Almost 2 years now, I think.
It's a riff challenge where I provide the drums.
You know, the drums from the intro song on Sunday with Ola.
Uh... and you make your own riffs
record 'em, upload to youtube, and I'll check you out, and...
before I checked them out in the Sunday with Ola
But I'm gonna do a dedicated livestream
from now on, instead, so...
Tomorrow, on Monday, on my second channel...
I will do a livestream checking out the Sunday with Ola contenders.
So, I'm not gonna watch them today, OK?
We're moving that to the livestream instead.
But if you wanna participate, you download the drums from this Sunday with Ola.
And do the thing.
Do your thing.
You know? And I'll check you out in the next livestream after the next Sunday with Ola.
I'm gonna schedule a stream up here.
You can go.
I'll put a reminder on it, so you can check it out tomorrow.
How about that? I think it's a...
It's a good, solid idea.
Before we end, I know you guys have been very patient with me today.
Because I--
I know, I know the format is different now.
I know the Sunday with Ola format is different.
Calm down, calm down.
But for you few people that are still watching this.
I just wanted to show you this, this is something new.
Uh... we have released on our website and our webstore.
These are coasters.
We are now selling a package of...
10 different beer coasters.
With different album covers on 'em, so we have the Starzinger one right here.
For instance.
Stars and Ponies.
The Sun and The Moon
Feared albums... check this out.
So, for every album...
...that I've done that's not The Haunted, Feared and Ola Englund.
You can get 'em as...
...beer coasters now.
You can buy 'em from the website right now.
I think they're really cool, actually.
So now you can put your favorite beer.
On your favorite album.
How about that? And you can do this.
The old trick that you do at the bar when you have...
...a boring time at the bar, take the coasters...
Hee-yah!
Alright, guys, that was Sunday with Ola 72 right there for you
Hope you enjoyed the video, and also remember the livestream for tomorrow.
Uh... I'll put a schedule right here, you can...
Go check it out, if you want.
Thank you so much for watching.
See you next time, bye.
