Dude is down to earth and funny af. During the interview when goes...what’s you name and respond back with his guitar (in Chewbacca’s voice 😂) that’s worthy of a stand up comedy material. A true precious asset to guitar community 👍

no idea who Mr Eklundh is in the music world but I love his rig and his connection to it, and for that matter his connection to each aspect of his life. He is passionate and honest . I must follow up and check out his bands. Thanks for posting , thumbs way up.

Mattias is really loyal to the brands that sponsor, I saw him here in Brazil years ago and he still uses the same Brazilian cables, very nice!!! Talent and skills ahead of our time.

Brilliant, clever, funny, guitar hero and dressing a Doom shirt. How not to love you, viking god?

Mattias is a wonderful soul and human being, he is also emitts tha core of a real swede,..i get so glad everytime i listen to him talking and playing, he is soooooo soooo much light and love,..i also Kris was the best man to intewiew him,..as Kris is an awesome guy too,...

Mattias is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Such an inspirational person, and down to earth guy.

That guy is one cool, funny dude. I could listen to him forever. 👍👊

This is seriously the BEST 8 strong tone I've heard yet. I appreciate Messugah and Animals as Leaders for their styles, but most people just copy them. I think I'm just tired of djent, djent, djent, djent, djent, djent, djent... This is how an 8 string should sound. Mattias... you have a "fan" now.

His band Freak Kitchen is easier to get into. His solo work, Freak Guitar is a bit more experimental. But, for me, Mattias almost always hits the nail in the head when it comes down to doing interesting, catchy music, while being out of the box.

I love this guy, he is original, has a deep focus on the sound, he is melodic, humble, always learning, always inspiring. Continue bro.

You just have to love this guy. I really like how he play silly licks out of nowhere in between sentences. It is just like having a tourette syndrome and ventilate through guitar.

I see Mattias. I click. I laugh. I learn.

Mattias is just the coolest. So weird how some of the absolute most amazing musicians in the world are also amazing people. Weird, but great. :)

Can't stop watching this! Mattias is a hell of a guitar player. And such a nice guy. I would love to meet him sometime!

Wonderful!! My friend Jan W sent me this video.....and from now I must follow you!! Good luck! And - thanks for prolonging my life .....good laughter can do it!!!!

Anything with Mattias IA Eklund is amazing :) Glad you did this interview with him, it finally answered a few things about him and his guitar that I wondered about for a long time !

Really like hearing him and his appreciation of Indian music.

I discovered this man today, while looking into squiggly frets - what an absolutely awesome human being!

This has got to be one of your best interviews!

Mattias makes me happy. The interviewer is excellent too

I love Matthias he is truly is amazing. His thought process is totally off the wall. He does metal like no other. His approach to things are amazing and he is so unique. I found Freak Kitchen many years ago with the Spanking Hour album and was blown away. He has just gone from strength to strength ever since. Every album is an adventure. Not everything hits the mark for me but when he explains it you are just amazed the effort that went into it.

Great down to earth guy. His music is not exactly my cup of tea but the interview was inspiring. Thanks Chris!

Great point, IA would definitely stand out... I'm sure I could pick out Fredrik Thordendal and probably Tosin as well but those fall into the "listening to them for years" category for sure

His killer rhythms dating back to the mid 90’s to now don’t get talked about much. He’s way more than 8 strings and harmonic volume whale swells.

LOVE THIS GUY!!

Awesome creative guitarist! Thank You Matthias! Thank you Chris for bringing this!

I'm one of the few people that have never heard of this gentleman, and I enjoyed every second of this interview.

Hello Mattias, Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I'm currently 73 years old and became musically "awakened" during the absolutely amazing 1960's - and was in a few bands (on drums mainly with fairly occasional guitar / lead and rhythm) with artists involved in the British Invasion my primary focus. While I was never a devoted fan of "metal" I have recently have been noticing and really liking bands such as Volbeat (especially those featuring sax and terrific honky-tonk piano - along with Michael Poulson's excellent vocalizations). I'm a firm believer in the premise that "without a melody there simply can't be a song". This is where you and bands such as Volbeat (and others) really shine. You're "metal" versions of relatively "old" tunes are absolutely terrific and wonderful to listen to. That being said I honestly feel your comedic sense / timing / in front of the camera persona are absolutely refreshing and a joy and a major part of why I love what you do. When I was a little younger (late 50's and early 60's) many of the songs you feature in your videos were a staple in my home with my Dad being a tremendous fan of "melody". Even at that early age I was aware of the absolute necessity of melody. To make a somewhat long story a little shorter - I love the approach you have taken with these masterpieces. Thank you and all the very best to you and those you hold dear, Terry

I found Mattias a few months back randomly through his Freak Audio Lab channel, popping up on YT recommendations. He's a genius and I love his personality, lots of fun. Fantastic interview!.

Jävla rolig kille. Great guitarist too! :-)

I like the fact that he likes Django Reinhardt, a must for any serious guitar player. If you just listen to one genre of music you fall into the old adage "a person with just one taste has no taste at all.I was really into Punk and post punk ,the music ,politics and the idea of smashing the system and creating music of change.I also liked reggae ,and jazz and this really expanded my musical knowledge -when I heard Django he blew me away and opened up huge possibilities for guitar and 40 years later I still love the instrument.

Love this guy! Actually i am 47 years old guitar player and gamer too : )

Lovely man

Mattias ... He is a great guitarist!👏

Django Reinhardt and Ella Fitzgerald are an excellent counterpart to metal 😆

Das Doom Shirt trägt der wohl immer ?! 🙂 Was der für ein Feeling für die Gitarre hat ist Wahnsinn !! Echt beneidenswert !!

I believe Mattias made the sound for Chewbacca.

Cool stuff

Great Personality..cool guitar🍧🙊⛄

Finally another German channel where I can say: "Because penis!" PS: MattIAs is a genius!!!!

Amazing on so many levels!! The setup really impressed me by its simplicity. So if I understand it right, Mattias uses one single amp tone with lots of gain, and all variations from clean to lead are done with a volume pedal in front of the amp (plus the delay)? Also amazed at how good a high gain tone cleans up so well. What volume pedal is that?

awesome guy :)

wow, awesome guy :)

Simultaneously the worst and best interview ever! What a f'in talent that dude is, and seems like a really cool guy. Way more like listening in on a conversation that wanders everywhere.

Now I know what IA means!!!

There is however a difference technically. When you play music that requires stretches... then you have to practice a little on the tt fretboard to get it right.
