Hearts on fire is the reason why i'm a metalhead. I cannot express with words how much that song means to me. Thank you!!!!!!!
I started learning guitar a couple o weeks ago (at the age of 40) and "Hearts on Fire" riff will be my first to learn - I've chosen this one among tons of other great metal songs:).
Oscar has the best mentality that I admire in the world of rock, he is human above all. Nerdy animal lover and family, this man has my respect. It was a pleasure to meet you in Fortaleza 2017.
This guy looks like he's 8 foot tall
Having met him, I can assure you he's damn near 7'.
Bro he's literally height himself
Damn, I wish I was like this
I met him and he's actually a giant
It's the chair it makes him look taller than he is but he is 6'2
@@nathanwright5543on god just saw him tonight 😭
I like the way he's not interested in showing himself arrogant and admit without problem that he just can't play "virtuous solos" and he needs a lead guitar with him to make a complete metal band. After all, what he does with all he has and the way that he brings himself in the shows, makes you feel emotions, specialy to the people who likes the band (now, or in the past, whatever).
Yes. A lot of people underrate rhythm players, not knowing they are the most important part in the song. Soloing is like 15 percent or less.
He is a good soloist, though. Not as flashy as Pontus or Stefan, but still good. Especially if we take into consideration the fact that 17 years ago he shattered his arm rather so badly that he never recovered completely.
Agree!
Great guy!
I'm exclusively a Rhythm guitar player
I love solos but i never had the urge to play any solo
Riffs fascinate me and was the reason why I love playing guitar
After 10 minutes I realized the guitar is actually a hammer LOL
hahahaha...i realized after your comment :D
I realize at first, but i found it Ugly. Like to see him with the Jackson Rhoads.
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
I get the symbolism but man does it looked uncomfortable to hammer out some riffs on.
@@ibanezdudeck He doesn’t use it on the stage that much, Hes got a better one
Oscar It's a great musician .
Hail Sweden.⚔️🗡️
That first guitar looks like one of those hidden special unlockable jobs that would be in a Guitar Hero game.
Sounds just as sick as one too.
As a Swede it’s sooo cool to see a vid with Hammerfall! I remember my brother putting on the Glory to the Brave album when I was about 8 or 9 yo. Been hooked to metal ever since, so seeing Oscar is truly nostalgic! Legacy of Kings is in my opinion their best album.
I agree. The best whole album, but with A LOT of great songs in the other ones.
I like to think that he's not sitting on a stool lol
Hahaha
@Ali Desch power squat, eh?
Ich scheiss mich ein:)))
Abbath crab walk
Lol, I can’t stop laughing!
He loves what he does! Rockin' heavy metal riff master. So humble and charismatic even not perfect as youtube chair metal virtuosos. That tone - pure heavy metal in its essence 🤘
This guy is definitely my inspiration to learn playing guitar
I remember as a kid listening to my father's copy of Glory To The Brave and simply being astonished by the power of Hammerfall's sound
More of these interviews please, let these guys show off and tell their story that they worked so hard for, and I love listening to the so “normal” scenarios these people were in before making it big, it’s jukebox hero in interview form and I love it
The most underrated signature guitar in the universe
HammerFall on Loudwire? Wow nice!
Oh, now I totally hear the Accept influence on Hammerfall.
Same!
Love ingenuity and hard-working... It's all the difference.
Renegade is one of my favourite albums of all time!
"Hi I'm Oscar and me and my hammer are tall."
Loved this! Hammerfall has always been a fave of mine
His background wall triggers a lot of good memories.
Guitar looks like someone put strings and a neck on a microwave
That’s how ya get hot licks... (Dad joke!).
@@macleadg 😂
Couldn’t have said it better myself !😂😂😂
If it was red it would be the 'New Joe Rogan Studio' guitar
It is an ugly guitar...
His motivation of not being the perfect Solist but just have fun playing the main riffs is sooo me.
it's a great outlook on life! He's having fun and that's all that matters! Keep at it friend
Same
Whoever reads this have a good day
Thanx dude you too 👊
Alright, random dude. Have a good one.
Thanks man🤟🤟
You too bro, don't let anything stop you from being your best today
You too bruh. Metal Lover from NEPAL!
Such a cool dude, and inspiring metal musician. Makes me wanna play the guitar more
The riffs are old school Rock and Heavy i Love this so much. Hammerfall is One of my Favorite Bands hope i see you Live. I m from Germany and my Favorite Album is Dominion.
Woah he's like seven feet tall! Brb gonna go google it
Edit: google says 6'6
All legs and arms.
2.01m thank me later
He’s only 2 inches taller than I am, but apparently that makes a hell of a difference.
He's Swedish of course. The shorter Scandinavian is 5'9
@@robertoricci3393 his father is serbian and mother is swedish.
A humble man that have created a great songs and a great band, my respect!
"Oscar Dronjak" has to be the most metal name ever
Fun fact - in 2015, in Kavarna, Bulgaria, Hammerfall opened for Twisted Sister.
I was there, and it was awesome.
Man I'd love to jam some metal riffs with this dude. He is so down to earth. 👌
best riff : the silver thinkers: the 17 million !
Best solo: the silver thinkers: firefly sailor light!!
EPIC!!!!
Oscar you always have so much fun on stage, i love watching your live shows....
Oscar is an awesome player, love that guitar and it lights up.
Finally a hammerfall member in loudwire
Freaking goosebumps to Fury of the wild!
Hammerfall are one of the best heavy metal bands going. Thank you, Oscar, you legend
Intressant video och skön snubbe, 10000 likes för tishan Oscar, stort av dig!
I've always felt like a connection with Oscar when I almost never saw him play any solos, but instead the awesome riffs as I myself never were really interested in flashy solos and were happy enough playing riffs. Feels cool to actually hear him say this :)
It's pretty unusual for guitarists to admit they aren't interested in flashy solos or stuff like that,.
Oscar is fantastic, gotta love him.! 🤘
Man he's tall
I'm pretty sure he's only like 6'3
A little over 2 meters
@@jayce5650 "Only" 6'3" - That's already taller than 98.5% of humans. He's actually 6'6", though.
@@LocrianDorian haha idk man everyone I know is taller than 6'2 so yeah I thought that was normal lol. But damn 6'6 is super tall
He definitely looks taller than 6’6, that probably because he’s got very long arms and legs. He looks like he could be 6’8
It's the ice cream man from Legion, good to see he's doing well.
Cant wait to see you guys in Oslo next year.
Love this guy!
Saw these guys with Sabaton in Toronto last year. They were meeting fans afterwards, it was cool.
Super nice dude. I love hammerfall. The fire burns forever
Awesome guitar construction!!! The most important is the Spirit!!! What a humble star
YES! HAMMERFAL IS ETERNAL!!!!
What a cool dude man - also, I love his shirt.❤️
I´ve never heard Oscar talking before... I really love his modesty (and a lot of his riffs). He made a great great team with Stefan.
Love the retro game collection on the back..
Love his tone
Does anybody know what pickups he uses? I want that tone!
@@bullfrogpondshop3179 Looks like a EMG not sure which tho
What a cool dude this guy is.. Down to earth
I remember seeing this guy for the first time on the first hammerfall album. This guy was so skinny man. He hasn’t gained a pound.
When I was 13/14 years my firts album recorded(cassette 😱)...Restless and Wild of Accept...my favourite Accept's album !!! Hammerfall Glory to the Brave and Legacy of Kings☠️🤟!!! Thanks Oscar!!!
If you dare to play this guitar, you're worthy. Instant like.
1. Awesome pinball machine. 2. Sweet old game collection. 3. Is that a light up, cigar box-style shred machine? Sounds great too!
What a legend
The wall behind Oscar is awesome! N64 and snes cartridges haha
Oscar and Sam Totman should get together and do a pinball video
Legacy of Kings is one of my favourite albums of all time, been playing it regularly for 22 years now.
You are a true legend Oscar!
Cool that he also collects games, I noticed a bunch of wrestling N64 games on the wall. Wrestlemania 2000, Backstage Assault, WWF attitude, ECW Hardcore and WCW mayhem :)
Oscar! We must be blood brothers. I built a guitar in shop at Camp Tecaboca when I was around 14. It was a red Flying V based around (Ratt's) Robbin Crosby's guitar. RUSH 2112 and VH1 were my first bands. ACCEPT, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest etc. were right after that. ROCK ON!!
That really shoulda been a headless guitar
My favorite HammerFall riffs are all the HammerFall riffs!
Dang I love Hammerfall, been a big fan since the first album! More metal than Maiden and Priest combined!🤘🎸 would have loved to hear Hallowed be my Name or ......well anything they are all cool songs!
I dont know this guys band but he seems like a good dude...will definitely check hammerfall out !
they are great
Crystal Age :3 Man, what an incredible band
Glad to see Skwisgaar Swigelf here!!
Dudes a giant that shreds a guitar that looks like a fucking hammer. The layers of awe abound. Gonna rock out to some Hammerfall now.
Tight !
Damn! Now I'll have to listen to some Hammerfall. "The metal age!"
Hammerfall, we will prevail.
Hammerfall, let us hail.
manspread level 100!
Very cooooooooool.
So wholesome to see someone who loves what they do. He could have played for hours.
Also, he's a great alternate picker, monster.
All I want to say is Oscar is that you are a true heavy metal champion. Rock on my friend!
Heeding the Call is the best Hammerfall Song for me, Fun to play and remarkable.
Fulfilling our faith we are heeding the call!
@@malawigw 💪
Nice with retrogames in the back 🙂👍
You and I have the same view if the guitar. All I wanted to do was riffs, heck with the lead and I also played alot of accept.
That is a very unusual yet unique guitar he has.
🤘😷 Badass guitarist. ❤🔨 fall
HAMMERFALL is awesome😎!!!
The Greatest Guitar Hero!!? In my eyes! And The Greatest Band Creator Ever!!?
Such a great band and i dont know why is not headliner in every festival
Love your music when i was 21 i had a girl in sweden she showed me hammerfall i love you ever since im 42 now Even how if My life is a living hell 24/7 you still makes me keep going and your music makes me Abel to sleep i saw the live video never forget never forgive for 21 years you have keept me a live but now the time has Come for me to fall for Grace you still in My heart, legacy of kings My nr one song is sacret wow and heart on fire now the times is here i see the templars everywhere cause you know a legend reborne hallowed be My name the first concert i ever was going to was you in Odense but the covid19 came out of My sadness and pain but we meet and other place as you know keep rocking Jesus rockens i dont pop
And I thought Bo Diddley was the only one who played a rectangle-shaped guitar.
Slenderman looking good man! Haha joking, Oscar is a great riff composer. The three first albums of hammerfall have very nice rythm guitar sections.
First riff... Accept
Favorite 80's band.. WASP..
Oscar may be the coolest guy ever..
Throw Cries in the night on your next album as a hidden track...
Joacim can hit any notes that Blackie sang.
SNES and NES mini yeah!
Oscar is a fantastic dude & epitomises Metal 🔨🔨☠️🤘
Seems like a nice, mellow guy. I'm happy to have seen Hammerfall in Oct 2019 before the world went kookoo.
Swissgar killing it. 🤙
I heard gaming laptops were good for both gaming and working but I didnt expect someone to play guitar on one of those
When he said 'fuck that' it kinda reminded me of Abbath and his famous tutorial video
YOU SHREDDED IN SLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My iPad turns into a guitar too! At the push of a button.
Oscar is like the Grey Wizard of Metal
Thanks for doing this Oscar, was fun to listen to. And nice to see that even professional guitarists can struggle with some things like arpeggios.
I absolutely love the wall you have behind it, do you have a video showcasing it all somewhere?
Hey that's a nice guita-OH MY GOD WHY IS HE THAT TALL.
It’s Swichgar’s brother
Ceremonial Oath is cool!
Oskar is super cool man :)
