What's up?
Wh-what's up everyone? Welcome to FAQ number 99
99, holy shit.
That's a lot of FAQs, a lot of minutes also
seeing how my FAQs are like 20 minutes long
Damn, you guys, I've been wasting your time
You know being positive Ola and all, I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone out there
You guys are the f***ing best, seriously
In the latest FAQ there was so many really awesome positive comments out there
It made me genuinely super happy
It makes it really easy for me to do this
when I get all these upvotes and comments
I got one from this guy who's 64 years old
It's awesome to see that I have an audience that ranges from...
9 year olds to 64 and up
It's incredibly inspiring for me that people get inspired from what I do
That is a feeling I cannot describe, but it's amazing
And just for the fun of it, if you feel like it
please post your age in the comment section of this video
I'll go through all the comments, I'll seem them
I would like to find out who's the youngest viewer and also who's the oldest viewer, that would be amazing
Thank you so much guys, let's just fire up these badass questions
I didn't even clean today, amazing
Sometimes I just don't feel like cleaning, I mean, why does it have to be clean all the time?
You can see this part is pretty clean, but look at this bullshit right here, do you see?
It's just a bunch of... I just throw everything here and it's gone basically, okay.

"If Phil and Rex from Pantera asked you to play a set of Pantera tracks with them at a show
"Would this be something you would be up for doing? #teamcart"
Yes, obviously I would be up for it
I would definitely do it for like one show or something like that, but...
Being asked for a full tour or doing something like that...
Mmh, I don't think so
But doing like a tribute gig, that would be awesome, I would love to do that
It doesn't even have to be with Phil Anselmo or Rex
I mean, it could be with my old, you know, cover band or anything like that
Even making like a Pantera tribute with Mario for instance, which I... you know, Mario is kick-ass
You know, he sounds like Phil, like Phil sounded back in the day basically
So I wouldn't mind
So maybe that would be an even better tribute gig right there
You know, would I deny...
...to have a chance to play with 2 of the guys that were in my favorite band?

"Ola, riddle me this
"What will you get if you add your vocalist of Feared to your newest home appliance purchase?"
"Mario Kart"

"Hi Ola, what do you think about the new Abbath album Outstrider?
"Did you like his work with Immortal? Thanks."
I have to Google this but yeah, I wasn't really into Immortal back in the day
You know, I saw a bunch of videos and like 'Uh...'
He's running up a mountain
You know, looking like a dork, that's kind of funny.
But when Abbath released his own Abbath album, when was that?
2016, oh not too long ago
That album absolutely slays, I haven't listened to the new Outstrider album
Let me do that right now
This is cool, man
So in that sense, I've listened more to Abbath solo stuff rather than the immortal stuff
And I purely enjoy his solo stuff
And... If you want me to check out Immortal, let me know which album is like a given shot
And you know what would be awesome?
Maybe if I could do a coffee with Abbath, because he seems like a very very special person
I don't know if you've seen the videos, but yes
He seems...
He seems like a good guy
Becky York
"Thank you for not selling out Ola, we appreciate it"
Thank you so much
I think she's referring to the latest FAQ, where I talked about...
You know, youtubers using advertisements inside their videos advertising for whatever
And thank you so much
Personally I consider... you know, if I would do something like that
I would probably smell kind of funny afterwards
If you want to support me... you know, I can always advertise myself
You can become a member, youtube member
You can become a member and you get additional content you get access to my Discord server
and you know, just a great community over there, so there you go
Thank you so much for all the support you guys, you are amazing
You can basically pay to be my friend
And I know that's gonna piss a lot of people off, but I don't care, I think it's funny.
JM S
"You wouldn't be the first friend I had to pay for"
Well, what...
Was that you?
Well, when you're saying it like that, it's kind of sad actually
Snehashish Banerjee
"Hi Ola, greetings from India. Yes, India.
"My question is what do you do to maintain your beard?"
What's up Shnuh... Snehashish...
What's up Snehashish Banerjee?
Nice to have you here, I've never been to India, would love to go someday
Maintaining my beard... Oh, it's very easy, I just don't
Just the simplest way to maintain your beard
All I do is that you know, I touch it sometimes
just to make sure everything goes in the right direction
because sometimes you have like a knull-rufs
Maybe I had that as a Swedish word but like, Knull-ruffs is when you have like a... a f-
When you have like f***fro
That's a good word for it, f***fro
You know when you you've had a sexy time and your hair is like this
That's basically what happens to my beard when I, you know...
...sleep on it, you sleep on your beard, that's what happens
So what I do is that I take a hand like this
And do like this
That's it
Weak-ass clap right there by the way
You know, my beard is kinda patchy and shitty all over
And it's just... I'm just letting it grow
And then occasionally, I just take a razor and like...
You know, I'm not here to impress you guys or anyone else, I don't care
Niamh Lawrence
"Hey Ola, thank you so much for your amazing videos.
"They always make me laugh and teach me loads about music.
"I was wondering what your favorite Ghibli movie is
"And would you ever do a workshop in Ireland?"
Thank you so much, thank you for your support, thank you.
Okay, so my all-time favorite Studio Ghibli movie is...
Mononoke-hime or Princess Mononoke
Oh, it's just such a classic, holy shit, I...
You know I liked Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle and all those other ones as well, but...
Princess Mononoke is just like...
It's the most amazing Disney story
But it's so black and... Japanese
You know... and it's just like, oh, the lores are just like...
Mmh I... mmh...
Mmh love the lores
You know, you have the deer of the forest that's kind of like the the god of the forest and all that...
Tons of blood and tons of awesome wolves and shit and you know...
The fight between humans and animals of the forest...
Oh, I love that, if you have not seen Princess Mononoke
You missed out basically, you missed out
Do yourself a favor, go watch that movie
It's one of my favorite movies of all time
A lot of you people think that Ghost Rider is my favorite movie of all time, but no
Princess Monokone...
Princess Mononokenene, it's rating higher than Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider is a shit movie by the way
Ryan Witczak: "Hey Ola
"Have you heard Bloodbath's album with Mkael Akerfeldt on vocals? Absolutely brutal."
Yes I heard it, yes it is brutal
But with that said I much more prefer Bloodbath with Peter Tägtgren
You know of Hypocrisy and Pain
When he sang on the album Nightmare Made Flesh or Nightmares Made Flesh
I just think that his vocals fitted the band the best
I enjoyed Mikael Akerfeldt's vocals and growling as well
I just think that Peter Tägtgren just totally nailed...
...that album, Nightmares Made Flesh, you know
♪ Eaten, my one desire, my only wish... ♪
I mean, it's such a...
...Sludgy album, I love that album, it's amazing
Bury Them Deep
"Can you play the intro riff to 99 by The Haunted for your FAQ 99?"
Well, obviously I have to play 99 for this FAQ I guess, so I will bring the guitar...
I haven't played this song in a while and you know, I have a broken thumb
which is getting better, it's just that you know, I don't have an endurance
I have so many picks here, what's this?
Flow 1.5 Dunlop. Okay, let's try this.
Perfect
So, I think I've done this riff before on Riff of the Day
But it goes like this
It's just galloping for a shit-ton and then you kind of like flip it over
There you go 99 and f*** it, I can feel it in my thumb, that's not good
Ola Tasting Shit, today I'm trying out the Mississippi Bell Wisconsin Macaroni and Cheese dinner
Even though it's lunch.
I haven't eaten macaroni and cheese before
And also for this time, I have some bonus judges
Both my kids trying it out, so let's try it out.
3 thumps up.
Three three three, I love my threes, okay let's just continue to eat. This was actually tasty.
KOVEN Z: "Hey Ola, have you heard about B.C. Rich bringing back the Stealth and the Iron Bird?"
I don't think it's just the Stealth in the Iron Bird
I think that B.C. Rich in general are making...
what it seems to be like a huge comeback right now.
They've been posting a lot of new pictures of new guitars
And it's looking really really good I must say
They're trying to up their game both in the US custom shop side and the import side
And it seems like they're, you know, pulling themselves together, which is nice to see,
Because I haven't really heard anything about them in a good good while.
I'm very happy because I think there's definitely a spot for...
You know, extreme guitars like that out there in the market
And you know, the classic Warlock is just...
You know, it's a classic
Even if it's like super weird and people kind of, you know, puke at it
It's still a classic, you know, that a lot of people enjoy and like and you know...
It has something cool about it that I truly enjoy and what's the...?
There is one B.C. Rich model that I truly enjoy, let me see...
B.C. Rich Guitars...
Could be a song of the day
The Mockingbird, yes
Just look at this one, this is the black with the...
With the binding, I mean, the binding is a little...
It's a little tacky
But you know, I like this shape a lot and... damn, look at the fretboard.
It's a little bit too much, but it seems like they're at least pushing it... Ooh shit, this is...
This is special right here, that's very blue and green
But yeah, this Mockingbird shape is like...
Mmh I like it a lot, It's really something
I mean, I like the Mockingbird here and the Warlock
Is this super strat something new that they're making? I'm not sure.
So yeah, I think it's definitely nice to see that BeeCh-
BeeChee Rich... BeeChee Rich
that B.C. Rich are coming back strong.
So whatever the marketing guys are doing, they're doing it right in my opinion.
So there you go, B.C. Rich

"Okay, let's see if you can handle this question."
"Worst riff amongst all your work
"And maybe make it Riff of the Day and explain why it sucks."
I love this question.
Oh shit in my face
I mean, sometimes when you write riffs, it's like...
Some of them are better than others and some of them are shit basically
And I think one of those shittier riffs...
The song was all recorded and when I listened to it I was like...
Oh dear God, oh shit...
That's such a filler riff and that song is Mass Destruction from the Feared album Vinter
And you know, when I hear now it's like 'Ugh, shit...'
It's not a good riff
It's just a filler f***ing riff right there
Anyway, it goes like this, Riff of the Day is this
Personally I absolutely hate that riff and lick
But I guess it serves its purpose in the actual song, so...
Yeah, there it is, thank you for the question.
Gran Cuervo: "If you show this comment for the FAQ 100, then I'll buy a Solar guitar. Hail from Nicaragua."
Okay, we're in FAQ number 99 right now, I was thinking like 'Hey'
'Maybe if I show it in FAQ 99, you can buy two guitars'
It's okay for me.
And okay for Ola, the maker of moneyers.
Ben Anderson
"For your information, I believe that the day FAQ 100 is uploaded, I will get the 12 month membership badge
"Thank you for being suck..."
"Thank you for being suck a badass and an approachable artist
"Your hand definitely appreciate it. Cheers Ola, I'm happy to be a member."
Thank you so much, Positive Ola, positive Ben Anderson, thank you so much
And thank you for being a member for a full year, I really appreciate that.
Jackson Henry: "Can you dime squeal higher than Dime did? #teamcart"
Okay, we have to try that out
Okay so, the key of making a high squeal
is to get it further down on the fretboard over here.
Somewhere over there
So I yhink okay, on the E string and somewhere here.
I think it's going to be impossible, but let's try it out.
F***ing hell
What the fuck you gate? You're killing me. Cemetery Gates, what's up?
Okay, okay so the note I want to catch is this one...
Yeah, grabbing an harmonic below the third fret is really really hard, at least for me it is
I mean, over here...
It's pretty easy, but here...
F***ing gate
Okay, off with the gate.
Oh shit
Okay I give up, I suck, it's a lot easier to do it here
All right, great, thank you, great.
After all I'm not Dimebag, remember that I'm Ola Englund the Swede
I wasn't born in, Texas, I don't know how to do harmonics squeals.
Oh, that was the last question.
Thank you so much for being with me, thank you so much
99, next time it will be FAQ 100
And I'm trying to make it something special
But I don't know maybe it's just gonna be a... you know, just another boring one
You never know how it is with FAQs, you know, you can spend a lot of time making one
You know, filming the nature of Norway and all that... and people don't care
Less people watch the FAQ
and then I sit here on my ass with my palm shorts and you know, a Back to the Future T-shirt
And it gets viewed by 100,000 people.
There's no logic, so we'll see what happens, FAQ 100, there's just one week left.
I'm looking forward to it, hope you are doing it as well.
Thank you for being a subscriber and thank you for letting me play my harmonics squeals.
Bye.
