My brother was a great fan. He introduced me to your music. I remember him when I listen to you. He passed away in 2016.

It's bloody criminal that talent like this never breaks through in the mainstream.

"Yes, I am in fact a frogressive guitarist"

This man is incredible. For me, he's like an exquisite mix between Buckethead's underground ingenuity and Guthrie Govan's masterful understanding of the neck. What a GENIUS

I love this song... thank you for creating it IA, just thank you so much!

never new u can make "cute" music shredding...love this

Seriously the best use of a children's toy. I love it when musicians sample unusual stuff.

WTF. It took me way, wayyyyy to long to learn about this guitarist. Excellent and incredibly creative performance.

Perhaps the most incredible timing and hand-to-hand coordination I've witnessed in a virtuoso guitarist.

I love this stuff. He has an almost childlike playfulness to this song. I played this for my musician friends, they loved it too

I love this song. Im from chile, when My son has three years old, i play this vídeo and make us happy. All before the covid. Now, he is seven years old, and i don't play guitar because there is so much work. I like the song. I listened your work for the first time in the tribute to Jason becker.

Loves this song, amazing, melodic, superb...great job Mathias...IA Eklund.

this melody makes me smile :)

in the 80's videogame creators were trying to teach a machine how to play like a human, Mattias is now telling humans that is possible to play like a machine!! AWESOME! track of the year! Thank You Man!

Dude, i've been in love with your work for years now and must say, once for all... Hands down: You're the most talented musician out there in AGES. The majority part of my personal guitar heros are guys people just dont know or talk about too much like Steve Stevens, Jerry Reed and so many others in their own styles, from acoustic to total cheesy virtuouso. But you are the bigger, major, crazier, spiritual, flowfull, bananas guy, that just came to reinvent the guitar and its sounds more than any other guitarrist did. You are a bless to mankind, music and the sound that ecoes trough the universe. Thank you so much, so much. I love you, you viking bastard, freak of nature Forever

Who ever thought cheerful notes could be so metal

One of the best guitar players in the Universe. Love this songs

This is pure genius! I always liked how Mattias can manipulate the guitar, but this ... this is as if he's speaking through it! Glad to hear that he's nominated as the the best guitarist of 2014 by ProgSphere! Mind blowing, more Mattias!!

I love this tune!

Ladies and Gentlemen, IA proudly presents to you: FROG METAL !!!

Honestly, when I am in a shit mood, this is a song I reach for. The playfulness gets me every time and makes me insanely happy. Thank you for the music

Probably the most skilled guitarist in the world, all categories.

2:55 Proof that this song pays homage to Eric Johnson's "Camel's Night Out." As if it weren't already obvious. This is the best song I've heard in a long time. Nothing else sounds like it at all and it lifts my spirit when I hear it. It's perfect.

Man!! Your music, specially this song makes me so genuinly Happy! God bless you brother! Thanks for sharing this beautiful music

It's incredibly rare I use the word "majestic" to describe anything. But, that's exactly what this song is.

Mattias the genius.... Rarest from everyone else in this universe ❣🎸🙏🙏🙏

This is, by far, the most inspiring song I've ever heard. Thank you so much Matthias, you unleash the true power of guitars.

There is no better fitting term that "Nintendo Metal" for Matthias Eklundhs awesome music. Thanks for being who you are!

this is the craziest thing i've ever heard and probably one of the best

This is pure genius.......

I've seen so many amazing talents emerge in the last few years. But in the guitar realm, tnis man has moved me the most by far. Just like when I first heard Steve Morse, then Steve Vai, then Greg Howe, and then Guthrie Govan. They all have taken guitar in directions I never could have imagined. Fantastic! And greetings from Memphis, Tennessee U.S.A.!

My guitar god mattias is the best,cute like frog 😁😁❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟just amazing song

The first time I heard this tune I was firsr awestruck by how complex and weird it sounded then at the end when he plays on the toy-synth I absolutely popped. If you ever had kids who played with that toy you never forget that sound (that and the very off-key cow sound 🤣). Such a wonderful, playful masterpiece. ❤

I could listen to that recurring bit, like the part from 2:04 - 2:15, all day long. The guitar and drums sound perfect together.

A rare modern guitarist who is original enough that you can recognize his style right away. Not many guitarists are like this, more like midi machines.

Un grande musicista, anche meglio di tanti nomi più in vista.

I N C R E I B L E. Como siempre un estilo particular y único, sólo que ahora con un toque espiritual que abre mentes...

The perfect little antidote for the madness happening in the world today. For 4 minutes I can push it aside and zone out. Also, I had no idea you worked with Juanjo before Freak of the Week!

Just saw your songs and I've finded my true idol keep it up man!

This is awesome!

Beautiful place ! Music as always ... \m/

En alldeles lysande komposition. Enkel men komplex, anspråkslös men pretentiös. Kalasbra. Och en så där totalt triumferande tv-spels känsla - när man äntligen tagit sista bossen liksom. Grymt! 🙏🏻

Beautiful setting for a beautiful guitarist. :)

Both the music and the video are inspiring!

Posted 7 years ago!!! How did I not hear this before! 😂😂🥲!

Out of this world!

This so brilliant, it's like fresh air in the modern guitar playing, you are a true inspiration for me

I want that keyboard toy absolutely 😍

No se cuál fue tu inspiración o cómo fue que creaste esta canción, pero me dá la impresión de que musicalizaste un cuento!. Es genial!.

Excel! Thank you so much.🙌

VERY intriguing.

This song is a highly contagious concentrate of smile... 😊🙏

I love his music.... I hope to one day make something out of this world!!

I Love him ❤

This song is like a sequel to Salamanders In The Sun by Steve Vai. Love It!

Awesome!

This is soo goood!!!

Sounds like a fun Childhood memory revived... incredible

great song

Omg what is this?!? Lovvvveeeeee

Best double album in many years! Filled with catchy awesome music.

Toadally awesome!

Mattias, You 're a fantastic musician and this song is a wonder, il love it! Thanks very much for the inspiration and the feeling of freedom you give. Hope to meet you some day in France. All the best to you.

cant stop listening to this song

I would love to hear you play with some of those Gypsy Jazz dudes Mattias! That would be some FREAK GUITART right there!

Mattias you are amazing , one of my favorite musician and a great teacher

I heard this song when I was sad, and my mood became good again

Every time I play this video it makes me smile ... I might get them to play this at my funeral and cheer the poor buggers up a bit ...

What a joyous song!

Yes, he is all father to us guitarist who understand.

Thank you Mattias! You always cheer up! Great job!

Simply BRILLIANT!

love this lively song happy feelings from it

Been listening to Mattias IA for some years but I've never been much of one to comment on YT vids. This is a great composition imho brilliantly executed (hey - "Brilliantly Executed" - there's a freaky song title someone can use... maybe I'll use it or some variation myself. I love wordplay.) This feels almost like a happier counterpart to Vai's Salamanders in the Sun for me. Vai's tune starts out pretty happy but becomes more dissonant and somber as it progresses away from it's initial melody. You can almost hear the salamanders drying out and sticking to some rock in the sun that was too hot for them to safely traverse. Poor salamanders lol. This song puts me in a similar mood but it feels like the amphibians (which salamanders are of course) remain having a nice little frivolous time throughout. Yeeeahhh, I'm overthinking this aren't I? ;)

Sweden is really something special when it comes to music. I wish Canada had a music scene like that. I can't even see Annihilator play at home. Sweden has some of the most awesome bands from Meshuggah, Opeth and Amaranthe to Dirty Loops and classics like ABBA too.

This Song makes me soo happy its amazing

Awsome!!!!!!

The rarest Pepe

That dog at 2:01! :)

i love mattias

His legato would be insane if he went down that route,keeping all his tone uniform and smooth, you can see it when he does those burst phrases like at 2:20. But this guy is a total chameleon- love it!

This song is what I need right now

For a metal player you are the most talented and creative hats off for you man!!!! Simply wow!!😍

This song makes me happy. Thank you Mattias, love you

what an utterly brilliant mind worm !

It’s really neat to see this. Freak Kitchen was one of the first albums I ever owned. “Safe To Remove Hardware” is unforgettable. Am I remembering correctly that parts of the album were recorded in a bathroom?

Simply no words how good this is

LOVE this song!!

As a french, I can only LOVE !

This is so wonderful! Thanks!

You and Juanjo should make a movie together! It would be SO GREAT! Love your work so much, wish I could see you play in Brazil someday...Awesome video! You're the MASTER! \m/

this is one of my favorite songs by you, thank you!!

Sensacional!!! Fantástico!!

So different, funny and happy. Cool Mattias! Nowadays is difficult find new stuff. Thanks for your work, I really like it and I appreciate it.

Amazing

Beautiful!

We need part 2!

Pure musical genius- never change, man!

Awesome! ;)

Nice !!!
