That is actually quite impressive. Really rare to hear someone, that hasn't learned Swedish by 13-14 or so, speak it with such a good accent. Even more rare probably for someone having English as a native language. I guess he is rather gifted.
WOW! That Swedish accent is spot on. If I had just heard him speak Swedish I probably would have been fooled into thinking he was Swedish. And that is very unusual for someone with English as their first language even after living in Sweden for several decades!
Wow... Im really impressed. He sound like a native swede with a clear Stockholm accent, and according to Wikipedia, he only lived in Sweden for 5 years.
@@danielengstom1127 My English teacher lived in England for quite a long time before moving back to Sweden. That's why my English "break" in the Queens English. Other than that I speak Skaraborgska.
Sjukt imponerad! 5 år försent, men jag såg videon nu. Som SFI-lärare blir jag fan varm om hjärtat. I princip utan accent, vilket är SÅ ovanligt för folk med engelska som modersmål. 5 solar av 5 möjliga!
That is insanely good swedish! He's got barely any accent. That's the best swedish I've ever heard from an English speaker. He sounds like a native speaker. The parts that are off could be attributed to a dialect. If I didn't know that he's not a native speaker, I would never have guessed based on what was said in this interview at least. He had nothing to be embarrassed about.
Wow man, he doesnt even sound foreign. Sounds exactly like any other Swede. I would never have guessed that but his Swedish is spot on perfect and without any revealing accent at all......
His Swedish accent is way better than my English accent. It's most impressive that he still speaks it so fluently and clean after not living here for so many years. I'm engaging in English speech everyday and still I can't speak it that clean. If I'd ever meet Richie I'd be more comfortable speaking Swedish with him just to hide my Swenglish.
I was expecting the usual wheelieround r:s and gobbly pronunciation of an english bred talking swinglish; but man. I've pretty much never heard a "foreigner" talk that effortless and relaxed swedish before. Fantastic to hear!
Two years later, and I still come back to this video every once and a while to remind myself of how fkn good his Swedish is. He speaks better Swedish then most Swedes😂 This is very random, but I feel like I’ve heard his voice in some late 90s early 2000s Disney movies dubbed to Swedish. I’m honestly so caught off guard every time😂
Magical fun to here him speak swedish with a little bit of stockholmska (tyvärr)...jeje, kill me stockholmare, bryr mig inte ett päss! But he is not only a man with a talent to guitars...he is talented of the speech with different language...waoow! It would be really fun to talk to him over a beer or 2!
I'm swedish and I like Priest, I had no idea he could speak swedish, sounds like he was born and raised in Sweden even (sounds like he is from Stockholm).
He speaks better then som of the Skarsgårds to, Dolp Lundgren become ”To Big” to remember to speak fairly good Swedish and that fenomen still shows up now and then..
I finally get it! I have had Americans tell me that my English is better than some Americans they know, his Swedish is better than Swedes I know. He don't have an obvious accent either. Very good.
Riktigt bra! Kunde inte höra någon brytning alls när han pratade svenska. Han till och med använde ordet "typ" som nästan bara vi som har svenska som modersmål gör.
If he started speaking to me in Swedish I would've just assumed he's Swedish. His vocabulary is probably lacking, but that pronunciation and accent is spot on.
O.O really impressive, it's astonishing how authentic typical Stockholm accent he has, and when you take into account that not even the Swedish queen speak as authentic Swedish and she has lived in Sweden for almost 50years 🤨
Musicians usually have "good ears". (Most *good* musicians, anyway...) Meaning that you're able to *quickly* pick up and memorize a specific melody or sound, and then repeat it. This is also very useful when learning a new language. Richie's Swedish was almost *eerily* perfect, though. I guess it's partly due to the fact that he was still very young when he lived there. Once you're past your teens, learning a new language usually becomes much harder. (O tal vez me he vuelto peresozo...)
Jävlar, var det inte för E-betoningen som fortfarande är lite av en mix av båda språkens diftonger hade jag inte haft nån idé om att han inte var svensk när han snacka om jag inte vetat vem han var. Jävla högskoleutbildning. ^_^;
I thaught about that too! The first couple of seconds I thaught (Sorry to all the fans for not knowing who he was, I just wanted to hear people try to speak swedish right now in the middle of the night and this video came up... ;-) ) he WAS a swede being interviewed i english! =D Then I heard that it was definitely not the case, but yes, it did come back from time to time during the interview. =)
When he even added the "liksom", then you know he's a decent Swedish speaker :D
Helt klockren korvgubbesvenska! Hade aldrig gissat han var britt. Respekt!
I was really surprised how good his Swedish was.
That is actually quite impressive. Really rare to hear someone, that hasn't learned Swedish by 13-14 or so, speak it with such a good accent. Even more rare probably for someone having English as a native language. I guess he is rather gifted.
Fascinating. Speaking with him briefly you wouldn't probably even realize Swedish isn't his native language.
WOW! That Swedish accent is spot on. If I had just heard him speak Swedish I probably would have been fooled into thinking he was Swedish. And that is very unusual for someone with English as their first language even after living in Sweden for several decades!
Man blir paff när man hör någon som man tror absolut inte kan svenska prata svenska. Och så bra. Uttalet var perfekt.
His Swedish is perfect wtf. He even got a Stockholm accent.
To speak perfect swedish you have to speak Nyköping accent... Not Stockholm ;)
I am Swedish and I'm gobsmacked how natural his Swedish sounded.
Wow... Im really impressed. He sound like a native swede with a clear Stockholm accent, and according to Wikipedia, he only lived in Sweden for 5 years.
OMG ! Im from sweden and he speaks swedish spot on with an accent perfect !
I find it unique that some Swedish people speak english in the same accent as most Americans have.
@@dauntingtask8399 Blaming Hollywood :)
@@dauntingtask8399 And some Swedes talk with a British accent. Really weird lol. (I'm Swedish and i speak in a very Swedish accent lol)
@@dauntingtask8399 That's quite understandable though, isn't it? Most of the culture we consume is from the USA.

When he speaks it also sounds so natural. What a surprise.

Stockholm accent, must have been living there quite abit!! impressive!
Holy crap, I don't say this lightly, but he has a perfect accent, I couldn't even tell he was from another country.
Wow! He speaks perfect Swedish. That accent was spot on. I couldn't hear any difference from a native Swede
Wow man, he doesnt even sound foreign. Sounds exactly like any other Swede.
I would never have guessed that but his Swedish is spot on perfect and without any revealing accent at all......
I am swedish its spot on better than many lived here 20 years.
Haha, han låter ju som vem som helst. Helt jävla guld!
Perfekt så jäkla roligt att höra.
WOW. That's crazy. He sounds like he was born and raised in Stockholm! :-O
Wow, actually really impressed by his accent. He even sounds like a Swedish person :)
His Swedish is really great, he sounds like a Stockholm native and I wouldn't have guessed that he's actually English
That was insanely good pronunciation.
His accent, spot on!
Holy f*ck! That's PERFECT swedish, with 0% foreign accent. Silly god!
”Man ba lär sig, eller hur” - superbra svenska, superbra uttal!
Men gud vilket uttal! Helt otroligt
Wow!! I had no idea he even speaks swedish and he speaks fluently!
Richie Faulkner talks swedish,coolt ,Im from Sweden and one of my favourites band are Priest !!
Wow his swedish is really good. He have that perfect Stockholm acccent.
Wow, otroligt bra svenska
Hade gärna råkat köpt en vurre av Richie..Bästa samtalsämnet gällande jag mötte Lassie om inte annat..🤟☮
The pronunciation is so good I'd have guessed he's "Rickard Falk" from somewhere around Stockholm.

What a talented Chap ! Great Schenker sounding player, and He can speak Swedish .. Very Clever Chap !!!
Riktigt bra svenska, 5 korvar i betyg ;0)
5 av 5 Biltemakörvar ;)
Damn, that was really good. His swedish was very impressive.

But he is not only a man with a talent to guitars...he is talented of the speech with different language...waoow!
It would be really fun to talk to him over a beer or 2!
Jag lärde mig ju!
:D
I'm swedish and I like Priest, I had no idea he could speak swedish, sounds like he was born and raised in Sweden even (sounds like he is from Stockholm).
He talks swedish better than Dolph Lundgren who is anative swede!
He speaks better then som of the Skarsgårds to, Dolp Lundgren become ”To Big” to remember to speak fairly good Swedish and that fenomen still shows up now and then..
He had me at "Korvgubbe"! Good Job!
His Swedish is great! Always saw him as the "replacement" guy in Priest but after this he's more dear to me. :)
helvete vad bra han pratar
I would have never guessed hes not swedish, that is 100% spot on.
han är ju fan bra också
Skitbra svenska, prickade in en härlig dialekt också! Det var inte många ord man hörde på att han inte är svensk.
I finally get it! I have had Americans tell me that my English is better than some Americans they know, his Swedish is better than Swedes I know.
He don't have an obvious accent either. Very good.

Talar som en infödd! ❤
Really impressive!
that is amazingly good holy hell
Wow, his Swedish is close to perfect. Impressive!
Insane how good his pronunciation is. I had to check online to verify that he wasnt born in sweden lol
Wow, what a suprise and he does it really good. He sounds just like a Swede.
När jag har en dålig dag brukar jag kolla på det här klippet. Det är svårt att inte le när han flinar och säger att "Varmkorv" är ett roligt ord!
Holy shit. The accent is fucking immaculate!
Han måstr ha ett väldigt bra "speåköra" för melodin och den svenska "accenten" sitter perfekt!
He actually sounds like a native, really great Swedish!
His Swedish sounds good. Remarkable!
Helt underbart
If he started speaking to me in Swedish I would've just assumed he's Swedish. His vocabulary is probably lacking, but that pronunciation and accent is spot on.
his swedish is 100% clear, väldigt imponerande!
He sounds like a native Swede!
hade ju bra uttal med
Hans Svenska är riktigt bra, nästan helt utan brytning och med Stockholmsdialekt till och med. Toppbetyg ;)
Holy shit, he spoke perfectly!
O.O really impressive, it's astonishing how authentic typical Stockholm accent he has, and when you take into account that not even the Swedish queen speak as authentic Swedish and she has lived in Sweden for almost 50years 🤨
Han snackade bättre svenska än min engelske fyllgranne som bott här i över 25 år. Respekt!
Haha damn Richie talks better swedish than many actual swedes ! Very impressing. Jag skulle vilja köpa en varm korv i bröd av dig Richie lol!
He lived in Sweden for 5 years, and speaks better Swedish then our Queen that lived here for 57 years.
Va? Hade aldrig gissat att svenska inte var hans första-språk. Helt galet bra.

Totally agree with this. I hear different languages as music with their own cadences, rhyhtm and tone. I can pick up languages quickly like this.
His swedish is amazing.
perfect accent, I'm really impressed. some people speak way worse Swedish after 30 years in the country. respect!
WTF!? I didn't expect this! Pure Swedish! 👍🏼😊
wow jag är impad! :)
shit . now that was impressive! a tiny,tiny ring to it that tells he's not swedish, but pretty damn good
Apart from varmkorv, guy´s pronunciation is 100%
Klockrent tycker jag då'rå!! 👏👍
Crazy, he sounds like a native
Jävlar, var det inte för E-betoningen som fortfarande är lite av en mix av båda språkens diftonger hade jag inte haft nån idé om att han inte var svensk när han snacka om jag inte vetat vem han var. Jävla högskoleutbildning. ^_^;
His accent is virtually indistinguishable from a native speaker, and also the use of filler words. Impressive!
He nailed the word " Korv " 1:34
2:50 han snackar ju helt ren svenska
I didn't expect him to sound like a native.
OMG, he's Swedish is amazing.
*his
Am i the only one who sort of hears a slight swedish accent to his english, it comes and goes ^_^
You're probably mishearing
I thaught about that too! The first couple of seconds I thaught (Sorry to all the fans for not knowing who he was, I just wanted to hear people try to speak swedish right now in the middle of the night and this video came up... ;-) ) he WAS a swede being interviewed i english! =D Then I heard that it was definitely not the case, but yes, it did come back from time to time during the interview. =)
Hardly an accent even! I'm impressed
I think I can try to speak Swedish after a couple of beers too😂🤘
Veena come to sweden and i buy you lots of beer
His swedish is "spot on"!!
Metal and sausages!🤘
His Swedish is good too. I mean really good.
Holy fuck. Almost perfect swedish dialect from Stockholm
