[@MrJuhheli]

Everyone's so scared of Johan, that's why there ain't no dislikes.

[@MaDmatty180360540]

i'm gonna make my Skyrim character look like Johan!!

[@raizencore]

Johan may looks like a scary dude but he's so fucking cool! \M/ Such an epic guy!

[@Veon1791]

I can't imagine Johan playing videgames; can you imagine when he reads "Game over" what can happen in that room?

[@ertus306]

He takes his Thor Hammer and smashes the consol and Twilight of the thunder god starts playing

[@Okoii]

Johan plays video games? That voice.. yelling at people in game.. This needs to be a thing NOW.

[@extremeanalogmusic6296]

Johann has an epic voice

[@kickyour99]

[@IRPROFFESIONAL]

heggs voice is epic and deep

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

Johan is so awesome! He's my fucking hero. Somehow I can just picture him sitting there drinking some booze playing God of War or Skyrim or some shit. I honestly wish I was his son.

[@SelflessResurrection]

notice when Hegg said "Obviously i'm not as good as Olavi"
Olavi: .....(thinking) i can't blame you there xD *looks down to appear humble*

[@thezorba1]

hahahaha yeah... he jumps out of the truck...looks you in the eyes and growls, "Soon we will be gone.....a freewill sacrifice..."....

[@slavepi4]

Fanboy detected ... how can you compare Johan Hegg with Phil ... its posing, childish and you can't compare those genres of metal....

[@jackal92672]

the only one who doesn't have a skill was the host. What kind of questions are these? he should have asked questions about music ...

[@SwedishDieHard]

[@patjeuhh]

lol johan was a truck driver, imagine him saying something over the radio or getting into a carcrash and shouting

[@CannibaLouiST]

The fuck are you talking about dude. Both are awesome, but in totally different styles.

[@Punisherfan123]

@Leslie Weber Of course they do, that's where they store their air for grunts, growls, and such.

[@themetalstickman]

Man Johan would make a great truck driver he just beats the shit out of ppl who cross him

[@VL1975]

Interesting to hear musicians talk about this, but I'm sure using skills and being productive applies for everyone. Not just Amon Amarth.
