I was thinking that it might be fun and interesting if you all sent me some questions today (any kinds!), via a comment or a private message, and for tomorrow’s post, I’ll try to answer all of them! :)
So, let’s do this!
Edit: Okay, enough. :D I already have way too many questions to answer now, so I will have to put a stop here, and see if I can fit all of your questions in tomorrow’s post. Thanks, I’m surprised by how popular this post became!
Can we ask really odd questions?
Domo: Sure. :P I might not answer if they’re TOO odd though!
Do you think you’ll be heading to the states anytime soon, like tours, or anything else? and if so you should hit up San Francisco =P
Hvilken tone er tin fløyten din stemt i?
Hey man!
two questions:
Why do you never accoustic guitar in your videos?
What are your favourite songs to play on guitar?( I play the guitar as well, and need some inspiration to learn new things :D )
Respect to you from Hungary, you are awesome! Keep on the good work mate :D
What’s your favourite place of all time and why? (Including the whole world + universe ;))
Hope it’s not too odd for you. I’m just bored and wanted to know.
Hey, three things:
1. We like you from Canada
2. I’ve been playing bass for two years, still having difficulty reading notes, have any tips ?
3. did/do you go to the University in music ?
By the way, I learned you spoke french, but it’s rusty, so if you can, answer me in french ;)
Allez-vous un jour venir au Canada ?
If you can’t read this, just use Google translate
Do you have an email sign up so we can be notified when you’re album is released ?
It’s been a year since The Most Awesome TV Show Ever aka LOST ended so I guess it’s time to ask how did you feel about the ending? Also, who were your favorite characters?
(Personally I was expecting something bigger from the ending, something that would have left me with the feeling of endless OMGWTF.)
How did you get into music?
which electric guitar is it in your banner and which pickups has it?
which type of amplifier do you use and why, whats your favourite band? =)
Which instrument is most “epic”, in your opinion?
Could you have a fan as your girlfriend, if not why ?
Question 1: Why ‘Freddie25’?
Question 2: What were your thoughts when you first plucked a note on/strummed the guitar?
Question 3: What kind of people/things most intrigue you?
Hey, love the music, think its very natural, other youtube videos seem very commercial right now apart from yours as you seem to be doing what you want. Will you be doing any more queen songs? Or anything from way back then cos I like that! Too many artists on youtube concentrate on new song covers just to get views but you have shown otherwise. Keep up the good work!
Here’s another comment from me! Hehe
What’s your opinion on Weird Al Yankovic and his new album?… Do you even know the guy? Lol
hej fredde :D can i talk swedish with you?? but i love your videos and i think your awesome.. 2 questions 1: what computer program are you using when you make your videos??? 2: how long have you been doing music??
hälsningar från norrköping!! :D
how old were you when you made Wind Waker Unplugged?
Couple things:
(a) To what do you attribute your gaining popularity?
(b) If you had to choose, what would you name as your all-time favorite dishwashing detergent?
(c) What kind of people are involved with your website and album development? More specifically, do you have an editor, publisher, photographer, publicist, taste-tester, etc.? If so – or (c)(part deux) – how did you come upon them (did they offer their services, are they family/friends, did you go searching)?
Thanks so much!!!
Hello! I love that we get to ask you questions. :D
I have several questions, the first of which I am sure legions of your fans are dying to know: what is it that you look for in a love interest? That is to say, do you have a type or general preferences? I’m sorry if this one is too personal. All the rest of my questions will be professional, really!
Secondly – you’ve written about “Vampire Bride” that it would likely be your last traditional, film-like music video. Now that some time has passed, do you feel differently about the project? Would you consider making another to promote your upcoming album?
Also, you’ve achieved a good amount of success as a solo performer and as you have shown us recently, are quite capable of being a full band all by yourself. :) Do you see yourself staying solo always, or do you think you’d be interested in starting or collaborating with a band at some point in the future?
And finally – you’ve done several original songs at this point (my favorite so far is “The Wayfarer,” but they’re all good), in collaboration with other lyricists. How do you decide on lyrics for a song you’re trying to write? Do people send them into you, and you think, “ah, yes, I can work with this,” or do you have a specific subject in mind that you discuss with the lyricist first, or is it somewhere in between? What is this process like? And do you think you will have a call for lyrics again sometime soon?
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions. :)
You play many instruments, have you ever considered learning to play the banjo? It sounds great with the accordian!
Hmmm… Tror ni verkligen att det här var en bra idé? ;-P
Fredde,
A friend turned me on to your YT page to hear your ‘Killer Queen’ cover (well ‘effin done!). What blew me away was your original material – especially ‘Beside Me’ – what a truly amazing masterpiece. For a man of your young years, you have the world at your feet. I hope you get the audience and the recognition you deserve. I’ll now head to iTunes and download your stuff.
BTW, what video editing software are you using and what platform (Mac/Windows)?

ummm, I read your FAQs – got the info on what you’re using. Good to know you can backflip if the need ever arises.
What kind of mic do you use?
Stumbled upon your Killer Queen video. Brilliant! I spent a long time watching the rest of your videos until I came to the one where you were signing “Nigger Stoled my Bike” Dude, I have to say I was pretty offended.
We here in the States are just really not down with that. Is this a European thing that we just don’t get?
Keep up the beautiful work (just keep the racist crap out).
Hey Fredde,
Well, as you know, we both have the same electrical guitar (Ibanez s670FM for the one who asked), but why did you pick that specific guitar? For financial reasons, or was the guitar just really good in your opinion and suited to your playstyle?
Stefan
Hi!
Oh my god i love this… though i am not sure what to ask.
What are the simple things in life that make you smile and laugh? (I mean for example i smile when someone says sth out of the blue. With original phrases, or just with chcolate =])
What do you feel when you play your instruments? (Maybe you have post this, sorry if it’s like that)
And will you make some other video like “Vampire Bride”? Because i love it (i even cry ¬¬) so, if you are, it will be my pleasure to see it =D
Hope my question weren’t… too odd. And thanks for bothering in replaying our questions.
Hey there :)
Which consoles do you have? Do you have any siblings? Will you ever do a SOAD-Medley or cover? Would be great :)
Jutta
Why do we never see you shred?
Can you shred?
A quick video of you shredding is required.
What’s your favorite kinda food? and what do you like to drink the most? oh… and do you have any pets?
Who influenced you most, musically?
For some(well, most) of us there is a plethora of artists that had something to do with our musical upbringing.
Hi,
I was wondering what kind of equipment you use to record your audio for plugged and unplugged instruments. Thanks for the videos man.
Man you’re awesome. I think am very priviledged to have you as a classmate for a short while(Musik utbildning). Keep on rocking it’s time for you to take over.
Hej hur kan jag få tag i t-shirts kan vi träffas i stan? Vill inte betala nagon frakt:).
Jag tänker också tipsa aftonbladet,GD or Arbetarbladet om the Queen’s cover.
Go Get it….
Hey, I know I’m late, but maybe you’d like to answer this question in your next post (if you do not because you already have too many, I won’t be offended) :
– how do you think the technological future will look like ?
