Du borde ta med Kristian Niemann. 😎
Pretty awesome, keep em coming, great start with the great mr Englund, my respect!
Fk yeah 🤘
Thanks Ola! It was a real pleasure! And thanks to all of you checking this out! BLAM!
11:30 you should definitely follow through with this, interesting stuff, engaging in creative tasks helps prevent Alzheimer's disease so it definitely does have a positive affect on the brain.
Loved this!!!
@@BigHairyFenian and then 21:10 lol so I guess so
Well, I guess now I get to know one of the Best Bands in my life, Thanks Ola, I just found what I was in desperate need to listen, amazing songs from an amazing band
Yeah, Ola!!! Evergrey has always been one of my top favorite bands in the heavy progressive genre! And Tom you are a great human being as well with superb writing skills on guitar and lyric-wise, not to mention Henrik too man ;). Tom it would be nice to see more of you on your channel. Thanks for this interview Ola!
2 Englunds, 1 coffee.
But on a serious note I’m so happy to see 2 of my heroes interacting.
lmao how did I miss that this was an Englund^2 episode
aren't they cousins or something?
ROFL! That was straight and fast dude.
21:10 lol
I was trying to come up with an Englund joke. Thank you.
"There is music that you're gonna have to write to get to the music you'll put on an album." - I think that is maybe the most valuable lesson I've heard in years.
The worlds most underrated band full of some of the most criminally underrated musicians and my personal favourite singer! Dang man! Thanks for getting them on here and seen more!!!!! Evergrey fucking rules! 🤘😎🤘👑⚡🏆
What an Iconic coffee cup holder that is.
Good one
Perfect use for it
Man you beat me to this comment! Lol good one!
Just found Evergrey through Pandora.
Now I'm obsessed with exploring all their music.
Beautiful and catchy.
Each song is a journey.
Please tour the USA.
Finally Coffee with Englund! Both of them!
What a legend, I’m a huge Evergrey fan muhahaha
Muhahaha
Where’s the WAP juice at? 🤟🏼
I love to watch/hear you laugh... It's the only evil laughter in the world that could make anyone happy.
I want to see a Shred video analysing his fave Evergrey song. Shred is a Legend, and Im Delighted to hear that he is a fan. Mwhahahaha. 🎸🎸👍👍
Seeing them with the Loomis/Broderick era of Nevermore is one of those shows I didn’t realize at the time I was so fortunate to see.
Absolutely seen that in philly
I saw them in 2004 with Children of Bodom and Iced Earth. Evergrey was opening in support of The Inner Circle which dropped the day I saw them but the set was heavy on Recreation Day stuff. They played Ambassador and Michael's bass amp was turned up to 15 I swear to god. CoB were touring for Hate Crew Deathroll and it was Janne's birthday and Alexi kept dumping Jager down his throat during their set. Iced Earth were headlining in support of The Glorious Burden and did the entire Gettysburg trilogy, complete with canons, half the band dressed as union soldiers half as confederates with their guitars/drums/bass painted up as either the Union or confederate flags. Night ended with the song Iced Earth....Ripper hit that long note mid song....and held it.....and held it....and held it....and kept holding it. So long that the band one by one stopped playing and started dying with laughter. They had quite the lineup too - Richard Christy (Death/Obituary/Charred Walls of the Damned, Ripper (Winters Bane, Priest, Charred Walls of the Damned, KKs Priest), James Macdonough (Nevermore, Megadeth), Ralph Santolla (Millenium, Decide, Death, Obituary, Sebastian Bach, Jon Oliva's Pain), and the riffage god Jon Schaffer.
Epic tour, classic albums, classic lineups. A Night to Remember indeed (
If their was an award for most underrated metal band in the world, it would be Evergrey. So much good heavy catchy riffs mixed with top level emotional vocals.
Tom is an amazing human and musician. In search of truth is an absolute masterpiece, and anyone who listens to it for the first time will acquire a new understanding of not only music but the human condition.
Hi Ola and Tom Little anecdote from Tom and the rest of the group. They came to Brest, France in 2005-2007. The guys are super cool, great concert and when the bar closed, we continued the evening and they ended up sleeping on the bar counter. They had drunk too much.
Evergrey is my favorite band of all time and it’s truly original how they combine dark metal with prog and even sort of pop 🤷🏻♂️. But no matter how you spin it, it’s Tom’s band 😂. Tom is Evergrey 🤘🏻
Going to spotify to hear Evergrey right now!
I saw Evergrey in Columbus, Ohio back in like 2003 or 2004. They were the first act supporting C.O.B. and Iced Earth. I didn't know who they were but they blew me away right from the first riff. I even got to meet them after the show. Cool guys. I've been a fan ever since.
I nearly couldn't click on this video fast enough! Evergrey is one of my favorite bands who have never put out a bad album.
I ❤ how the acknowledged Johan, the bass player from Therion. Love that bass player.
Been listening to Evergrey since my first year of high school in 2002. Can't believe it's been 20 years already. They are the chorus kings for sure!
😄 1:26 Ola's face
(Whaaaat??)
Loved Evergrey since I was like 13, now I'm 32 and they keep getting only better.
I heard The Great Deciever for the first time back in 03 and fell in love with the band. Great musicians! Awesome episode Ola my brother!
Love Evergrey, great band. Tom’s a great guy as well. I really enjoyed this interview Ola, and it’s superb to have ‘Coffee with Ola’ back on your channel. Nice one!🤘🏻😎
Should add a Jam with one of the artist Songs, at the End, would love to see you Jam along with these guys man
"lots of great guitar playing" is an understatement Mr. Englund, have been listening to Evergrey for a very long time indeed.
Such an amazing vocalist....
I must have been living under a rock. I loved DT but not really heard of Evergrey since lockdowns! Would love to see them touring in Australia
Didn't know you did this interview with Evergrey till just now. Evergrey is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Been listening to them constantly since Recreation day in 2003. :)
I am a huge fan of Dream theater, but I love Evergrey more. :)
Hi Tom, I just turned 55 and was so lucky to have just heard of evergrey. Sorry I was late to the party but better late than never. I know you give dream theater lots of credit, but I don't think they could sound even close to you guys. I enjoy both bands equally. Actually I think your style has more appeal to my ears these days. Not sure if I heard true with you and your wife splitting up, if so sorry to hear. But I will say if the silent arc has anything to do you with it. Holy cow my friend you guys did an amazing job on that album. Enough said from a new fan in Ontario Canada. Thanks guys for what you create.
First heard Recreation Day and loved Evergrey after that. Banged my head to the chugging of The Great Deceiver, but then I heard End Of Your Days and really fell in love. Awesome band. Thanks for sharing the interview, Ola!
Two coffees in Englund nice!! Great to have it back Ola!! Smashing!!
For me, one of the best "DT likes" progressive metal bands in the world it's CIRCUS MAXIMUS from Norway! Amazing melodies, voices, riffs, sounds.
Hello from Brazil
Evergrey is great👏👍💯
I so agree, Metal is in the Riffs, the solo's are the cherry on top.
evergrey is just brilliant
Amazing!! Love Evergrey since early 00’s! Ola please bring Johann to tell us about his signature Solar!!
tom is the man they dont releash bad albums tom and henrik are huge influences on me!! great fuckin dudes!!
Double the Englunds, what is this magic metal sorcery
Thanks brother. Love to hear the elite talk about stuff.
Oh yeah, never too much of EnglundS.. Cheerz guys!! 😎😎
Several years ago played a show with Evergrey - very much regret not watching and knowing them back then. They're in my selective vinyl-collection now; awesome vibes and great songs! Cheers to the Englunds
2 Englunds
Correct
Awesome. Tom, your voice is like nothing else. Loved you on Ayreon's 01011001 too. Good point on the expanded area in the brain for inspiration when keeping on writing. The same is true for learning new languages and learning an instrument. I hope you follow up on that and BBC Horizon picks it up. 💥 Regarding guitars, man, I have the same thing with cameras and lenses. People ask me which lenses I use all the time, but to me they're like brushes to a painter. Love that you're keeping it real. Take care and can't wait for the new album.
Tom is the man!!!!
The Inner Circle was such a formative album for me and the band I used to be in. Good to see them still going strong.
Been and Evergrey fan for 20 years! This is awesome!
Caparison has one of the coolest headstocks of any guitar. I love that shape.
21:16 🤣🤣🤣, i laughed so hard when he started doing that…he funny af
I've seen their concert on the Recreation Day Tour with Pain of Salvation. What I remember the most was how incredibly close to the CD the band sounded live, including the vocals. It had almost a playback feeling.
Evergrey is one of the bands that got me into metal in the first place back in the 90s.
The chorus topic is a good one, but A Scattered Me has one of the coolest verse melodies I've heard.
EVERGREY Rules!!! Great interview, Ola!!
Have been listening to evergrey since 2002, Tom's vocals and guitar playing is phenomenal!!! Great video ola. Thank you!!
Huge fan of Evergrey. Great to have Coffee with Ola again. 😎🤟
im glad you had him on. evergrey doesnt get the love they deserve here in the states. perfect metal band.
So happy to have caught Evergrey’s set at 70K Tons of Metal. I had never taken a chance on the band because I thought I knew what they would sound like and I was so wrong. They’ve quickly become one of my favorite bands. The right amount of heavy and melodic with amazing vocals and guitar playing. Truly excellent stuff.
Evergrey deserves so much more attention in the US than they get
I saw Evergrey opening up for Iced Earth back in 2002 House of Blues Hollywood.
Thanks for this interview. Absolutely love Evergrey, and have been a fan since 2001. And I still have not been able to catch them live. They are the last band on my list of shows to see before I die.
And for Evergrey fans, check out the collaboration between Tom and Vikram Shankar, called Silent Skies. One of the things that's always stood out to me, with Evergrey, is the use of piano. With Tom's warm, soulful voice it really makes them stand out. And Vikram is an incredibly talented musician that absolutely suits Tom's voice. It's a really great collaboration.
thank u!
@@TomEnglundMusic Thank *you*!
Thanks for that interview! Tom has quickly become a favorite metal singer of mine. SO MUCH feeling!
evergrey my favorite band
Evergrey is one of my all time favorites out there! Whenever I get to see them live, I just turn into Frankior McHappyFace and their albums are production references for me ever since 2004 🤘😁🤘
I love The Atlantic - rooting for Evergrey!
I love Evergrey blinded was my favorite song
Yes! EVERGREY!!! I was on their concert about 15 years ago, what a great reminder :)
They played at this tiny random festival in my town back in 2008. I think there were max 300 of us in the audience so pretty tiny. Front row too!
Glad to see Coffee with Ola Back! What a great interview , I love Evergrey! Tom is such a humble and talented man! 🙌🙌 Waiting for the new album 😀😀
YESSSS!!! That was amazing! I LOVE Evergrey! Tom seems so damn cool too. So excited for the new album! Awesome interview Ola! :-)
Wow today is a coffee with Ola day sets the mood in a great way!!!
this episode is great, and the mic setup is much better
top notch!
The Inner Circle is one of my favorite metal albums of all time! \m/ Powerful shit.
Fantastic episode! I've loved Evergrey since Recreation Day. Inner Circle is one of my favorite albums, and Monday Morning Apocalypse, in my opinion, is as close as one can get to a streamlined, hook-heavy sound while still being "progressive metal." Props to both of you for a great conversation, Englunds!
Frickin' legends!
My favourite band
The return of Coffee with Ola!!!! Things are getting better in this crazy world. Awesome interview from an amazing artist!
That was awesome! Evergrey is my favorite band. I like being able to hear the difference between Tom and Henrick’s playing. The go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Holy fuck... I never heard of this band until just now.... Outfuckingstanding!!!!
Absolutely love Evergrey! They have created their own sub genre!
Yay coffee with ola again!
Bloody yes! Love Evergrey and Tom! I first saw them in 2006 when they came to Australia. My girlfriend, now wife, bought us tickets for my birthday. It was a bloody brilliant show!
I was there too! Sydney gig!
@@dpereira35 I was at the Melbourne gig. They only played Sydney and Melbourne that year.
I was there too. Still got my signed tshirt lol.
@@ryanfitz-henry3371 Me too. I got a signed one that I don't wear and an unsigned one that I can wear.
Ah!!! Coffee with Ola is back! Never really listened to Evergrey before. Sounds like it's right up my alley. So I'll take this as a recommendation. 🙏🏻
Dude, what! Nice! Love the new songs!
I had to watch this again this morning after seeing Evergrey last night, damn I love this band even more ❤️❤️❤️
Great interview with Tom.
Thanks Ola
Welcome Back CWO! Great interview. I heard of EVERGREY but hadn't really sat and listened. But upon previewing their last 4 albums since the interview, I can say I am especially impressed with Tom's writing progression, and his vocals! Definitely paying attention now. Adding them to Spotify! Nice way to kickoff the return of CWO!
This is awesome. I am a big Evergrey fan!
3:37 Fates Warning.
Respect to both of you ... Great musicians. 🙏🤘
Hell yeah 🤟🏼☕️🤟🏼
Great guy, great musician and Caparison is possibly one of the best guitar brands out there for heavy stuff. That particular red Dellinger with maple fretboard is right on top of my wish list.
Evergrey is awesome, one of my all time favourite bands. Have been listening to them since The Inner Circle, which is an epic album.
Great interview Ola..!
Loved seeing the Henrik one and super happy to see it happen with Tom.
Also, definitely looking forward to his Caparison.
I'd never checked out Evergrey before seeing this interview, so I immediately watched a couple of the latest videos....holt shit!!! Great music, playing and singing!!
The Atlantic is one of my favorite metal albums in years, highly recommend
Incredible band, yet seriously underrated. With a dozen albums to work with, theyve got so much for everyone. Their earlier albums are more Gothic, atmospheric metal. Like mid 90s Paradise Lost, some Metallica , but layered with deep dark melodies and high emotion.
Their recent albums are more downtuned, and utterly full of powerful songs. I cant recommend them enough.
Man I always love your interviews, just two musicians talking music and gear...
Its so satisfying to both watch and hear; for me it kind of compensates the lack of such people in my life with whom I could talk about shit like that...
Thanks a lot Englund 1 and Englund 2! (you decide who is who)
As soon as he started playing the Guitar i got some Abbath 'Guitar Lessons' video vibes mannerisms 😄
Awesome to have Coffee with Ola back….one of the greatest things on your channel. Thank you!!!
Great segment Ola! Your interview skills are just fine and are getting better. You look and sound relaxed which is what I enjoy from an "interviewer". Just 2 guys chatting about music. Keep it up buddy!!
Checking Evergrey out, right now! 🤘
I love this! Tom is the man! Amazing guitar player and great band! One of my favorites!
Thank you so much for this episode. Evergrey is one of my favorite bands. Tom seems to be a very cool guy. And a great musician.
Hi Ola, nice to have this section back, i want to say two things: ONE: i think that, maybe, the fact that Charvel got the Henrik Signture helped a lot to evergrey to get more love (that’s how i discovered they btw) and TWO: it freaks me out how you use a Foken 5150 iconic like a Foken table 🤣, i have to asume my envy. Final words: great channel, great content, love you dude ❤️
I love Ola, Coffee and Everygrey. Thanks for this! 🤘🏼
