What's up, everyone?
Did you see?
That f***ing hit the glass right there.
Made a clickety-ass beautiful noise...
Legend.
Welcome to Sunday with Ola 71.
You might say that 'Oh shit, Ola has been using the Dave Mustaine Gibson guitar a lot.'
Well, that's just how it is sometimes
I wrote this song on this guitar, so...
I guess there's...
There's a bunch of riffs to claim out of this guitar, you know?
I don't know if you have noticed this, but...
Uh... with Sunday with Ola, it's shrinking a little bit.
Have you noticed this, no?
OK, well, let me explain to you...
You know, something that has happened is that...
Sunday with Ola, and you know, Metal Morning
The Sunday routines that I have...
...for my youtube channel
They are consuming a lot of my time.
Even though I really take a pride of making these every Sunday
You know, it's taking a lot of my time, so...
You know, I'm sorta changing things up a little bit.
Maybe you will notice a difference, maybe you will not.
Who knows?
I think what people will notice is that...
Sunday with Ola's will not be, like, 30 minutes long
It will be more like 15 to 20 minutes long
That's OK
I'm still here, you guys, on Sundays.
But if you wanna see more like Adventures with Ola, and shit like that
You should go to my second channel, OK?
My second channel is gaining some momentum right now
And uh... basically...
What I wanted with my second channel is just to...
...have no limits in what I upload.
On this regular channel...
You know...
My regular channel is-- My regular--
My regular channel has become somewhat big now
It's almost up to 700,000 subscribers
You know, the thing with that is that it locks you in a little bit
So...
I started my second channel...
You know, just to get me some extra, you know, freedom
...of creating.
Even though I would, like...
...still do everything I want with my main channel
You know, there's...
Why not just make a second channel, and you know...
...do the extras there, so I did that.
And uh... you can-- you can go subscribe to that channel.
So if you want more, like, Adventures with Ola, stuff like that...
Maybe you can go check there.
It's probably your best bet right now.
OK? But...
It's Sunday with Ola 71...
We're gonna talk about some news, so let's go.
First piece of news that I consider being excellent
Like, really really excellent, is that...
Alex Skolnick of Testament, you know...
The amazing Testament, the band, and Alex Skolnick.
The amazing guitar player.
Has now a rap band, thank god.
Alex Skolnick introduces rap duo HU$H MONEY
Hu$h Money is a rap duo featuring Skoly-D
And Kimmy-G.
B.I.G L.I.E is their debut track about the events of January 6, 2021.
This video also features comic J-Hype (Jonathan Hyppolite)
and Karl Lake, best known as Robot Guy from Chappelle--
I don't know who these people are.
Filmed in July 2021... OK.
Let's just go, man.
I'm looking forward...
...to seeing Alex Skolnick rapping a little bit
OK, you have to take away the part about them...
...you know, being political.
Because obviously this is a political song.
But, for me personally...
I'm not commenting in regards of that...
I'm regarding about the talented Alex Skolnick rapping
You know, this sounds a like an infomercial video
Remember when you went to school and you were like...
'OK, let's teach about...'
You know, '...about wearing a condom'
And they make...
'Let's make it cool, let's make a rap song out of it'
Basically this sounds like one of those songs.
Like an infomercial song.
OK, I... you know, I think--
I think this was probably made as a joke.
There's just something about seeing
a legendary guitar player rapping seriously in a video
but... with the guy with the 'Doo-doo' T-Shirt on...
Like, these guys in the back
This guy right here is like 'OK, this is the f***ing 5th time I've seen...
'..a rap duo recording a video here, right in Times Square
So, I...
Like...
There's nothing new about this, I guess.
OK, fu--
Do I need to censor everything he's saying, because it makes this video political
Anyways, I thought it was funny
that Alex Skolnick is actually rapping.
How cool is that?
Great, can I please...
...get this out of my face right now?
OK, another really good piece of news is that Meshuggah has teased...
They have come out of their woodworks to tease us...
With the... with their new album, I guess.
And... Immutable, out April 1st, 2022.
I wonder...
Ooh, that's spooky
Immutable.
OK.
That's too tough of a word for me, what is an 'Immutable'
Ah... OK, calm down.
What happened?
I have to google this.
Immutable... meaning... OK
I have to check, what is it?
Unchanging over time or unable to be changed, OK
'An immutable fact'... OK, OK.
Good, I didn't know this word, so that's good for me.
Unable to be changed, is that...
Oh shit, is that deep?
That's a deep shit right there
The inability to change as a band, holy shit.
Like this is what I would imagine Meshuggah being older
sounding like this.
You know, a little slower
a little... you know, a lot heavier...
And just...
Older
You know, mature...
Does that make any sense?
So, yeah, I'm e--
I'm definitely excited about this album, I mean, it's Meshuggah, man.
It's like a productional feast
And have you ev--
Did this...
I'm just checking, did this distort the shit out of my...
I think it did... OK, sorry.
If that was distorting, it wasn't my problem.
It was Meshuggah's fault, OK?
Uh... No, but Meshuggah is such a productional feast.
One of the better live bands I've seen, because of this whole...
You know, visual... production that they have when they play live
So...
I can't wait to go see 'em, man, this is going to be exciting
OK, so Michael Romeo of Symphony X, hello?
One of the best guitar players out there, one of my favorite guitar players.
Michael Romeo, hello?
Did I say that? I did.
He's releasing a new album March 25th
Uh... 'War Of The Worlds, Pt. 2'
Uh... part 2 of the first 'War Of The Worlds'
So, second war of the worlds, I guess...
Anyways, he released a single, Divide & Conquer.
And... let's listen.
Is that Russell Allen?
Dino Jelusić is singing on the album
OK, yeah, it didn't sound like Russell Allen.
It's not really that different from Symphony X, is it?
Is this Half Life?
The video is f***ing Half Life, right?
Damn, man...
What a chorus...
Yeah, I like that chorus, holy shit.
OK, let's... where's the solo?
Should be around 3 minutes in, or something
Keyboard...
And guitar in unison.
Undoubtedly, the sweep king.
And tapping king, Michael Romeo.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to this album as well.
I think this year is gonna be great, you guys?
We have Meshuggah, we also have Slipknot...
...coming out with an album, and also Michael Romeo.
How about that? Shit...
So, last piece of news...
There has been photos going on of Kirk Hammett
You know, Kirk Hammett of Metallica
Small act...
We've been seeing a picture of him with a...
...Gibson Flying V right here, and...
People are speculating that this might be...
...the upcoming signature guitar from Gibson.
Kirk Hammett.
After road-testing a greeny prototype,
Hammett shared a snap of himself
wielding a purple Flying V
that looks likely to have been lifted from his upcoming signature collection.
OK, let us focus.
How do I focus?
OK...
Spread eagle... there it is
OK...
Has the old style headstock right there.
Unlike this one, you know, this...
...Gibson V, that has the...
...Explorer headstock.
Dave Mustaine.
What pickups are those? Probably...
Not like a Seymour Duncan set or...
Is he playing DiMarzio? I don't remember.
Uh...
That's a weird placement of the knobs right there, how do you go about...
Shit...
Like, if you want to turn this one down...
That's just going to be hard, you have to go...
From... you know...
Down, and go up
to be able to not f*** that up.
Like, how do you even switch pickups without touching these?
Anyways, it looks cool, purple is cool.
He's in the song right here, you can see.
You can fit a headstock in there, in that mouth.
Uh... exciting.
Oh, there's more.
There's more, look at that.
Dude, Gibson are really f***ing pushing it right now.
They have some good, big artists happening.
Good for them.
Exciting news.
But that was the news, everyone.
OK, Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge.
The drums from the intro song I--
OK...
What happened?
OK.
That...
Those drums in the intro song there, that I wrote
You can download those drums and make your own riffs
And I might feature you in an upcoming Sunday with Ola
And also... maybe also on my second channel
in the Sunday with Ola Contenders video that I release
on the Monday after Sunday with Ola.
You know, I check out more contributions there.
And in Sunday with Ola I check out three, something like that.
So, we're gonna check out last week's submissions.
I'm not g--
Don't get updates.
We have... Oh, Swola, father and daughter collab.
That is cool.
It's nice of the dad to let the daughter play the Schecter
Dude, that is so f***ing cool.
I would love to do this with my daughter when she is of age.
And also... this is not...
You know, what they've written here...
...is not exactly classical, it's very...
Like, classic in metal.
It's very... very dark, you know?
So it seems like this father is steering his daughter...
...into greatness.
There you go... f***ing hell, man.
That makes me happy, father and daughter, thank you so much.
OK, here we have JimGuitar.
With a Solar Guitar.
Ooh.
OK.
Cool Castlevania section happening.
OK.
Good ol' zero, twelve, zero, twelve, thirteen
Zero, twelve, thirteen, ten
Gotta love it.
I've used that so many times.
Well done, Jim, that was great.
And then we have happysan
happysan
Let's go.
Woof.
Dude...
So far, man...
These 3 contributions have been so different from each other, holy shit.
Well done, man, happysan.
That was sick, I liked the guitar too, FGN.
FGN, it's a 'FGN'.
And that, my friends, was Sunday with Ola...
...contenders.
If you wanna see more...
If you wanna see more contributions
Go to my second channel.
And...
Dude, what's up with me today?
Tomorrow, on my second channel, I w--
I will release another video of me checking out more contributions.
Be sure to check it out, don't miss out.
Go click right there, subscribe.
Thank you.
If you wanna be a part of this Sunday with Ola Riff Challenge.
Rather than me explaining again...
Just download the drums in the description of this video.
Or watch, like, 10 minutes back
when I'm talking about it, OK? Great.
So that, my friends, is the Sunday with Ola right there and uh...
I hope you enjoyed it.
Maybe you can give me suggestions
Of how you want Sunday with Ola to kind of...
Uh... evolve.
You know?
How...
What would be a good way of evolving...
Or develop Sunday with Ola into something... in something new.
You know, because I wanna...
I wanna do more.
But I also wanna... I also wanna do less.
If you understand what I'm saying, I just want something that is...
Uh... I still write music
you know, which is a good thing, that's a good thing for me.
I still like the news...
You know, and I like to have news here and there...
And maybe it will just be a new segment that's really long
I don't know.
Do you have any suggestions? Put 'em in the comment section.
I've also started livestreaming again.
Did you see? No?
Well, I did.
My second channel, maybe.
And if you feel confused about this second channel bullshit, well...
Don't be, OK?
The good thing is that if you like what's happening on channel number 1
You don't have to subscribe to the second channel.
You know, th-that's the thing.
But if you want more...
And you want the insides...
Then subscribe to the second channel, OK?
What's the name of the second channel?
Ola Englund 2
Easy
And now that I've talked about that, I wanna talk about you guys.
I wish you guys have a great and excellent Sunday
And I'll see you tomorrow in the Sunday with Ola Contenders video
Where do you watch it?
It's all on the Ola Englund second channel.
Holy shit.
How am I selling myself so well? I don't know.
I probably have great parents that taught me.
Thank you so much for watching.
I wish you a great Sunday, OK?
Goodbye.
