[werelost1]

[iatemine]

BAD ASS JAM!! Looks like You scored an excellent Bottom Man to Your Crew! Congrats Chappers! Tight is Might!!

[Gibson1423]

Hey Rob, what ever happened to Antony? Why doesn't he play for you guys anymore? Did he leave or did you kick him out? I've been wondering this for the longest time.

[FuzzySnuggz]

Man drummers a BEAST.

[mykemztr]

Your amazing i love that riff!!

[HQEY]

warwick basses are soooo nice...so nice to play, great jamming sesh, loving everything that is being created here

[scorpia616]

[Leviskardsen]

City Will Burn!

You need to release that bad boy, man. Been waiting for that song for ever since hearing the riff on your PRS SC245/Orange Rockerverb 50 demo ageeessss ago.

[msuman91]

i tell u rob aint nothin like havin a badass drummer that knows how to read off of you is it?

[DFlynn666]

[MrTomZombie]

[saronrock]

@gargano3000. looks like someone doesn't know what a nerd is...

[birchalltheaxehero17]

Is this City will burn?

[BlazerMGB1234]

do u have tabs of that song???

if u plz send to me

the first riff was awsome

[RobChappers]

Hi mate, I use Eb and sometimes I drop D ;-)

[GrandRiffAuto73]

@RobChappers might I suggest drop Db for some REALLY heavy stuff if you ever plan on it?? It's one of my favorite tunings other than D standard or E standard.

[LastXzIII]

at around 0:48 the drumming is a bit off but nice comeback!

[homolad]

Congrat Rob, you've collected two monsters! They're unfuckinbelivably good! The drummer breaks it so cool at 0:49 and he's just sooo tight! Just as Anthony who's clearly outstanding considering he'd played that riff the first time so well!

Take care of this great team and let's make some good fuckin' music. I've been missing this type of music for so long. Powerful, tight, smart, strong yet melodic! I'm starving for more so let it come! :)

[paulannis]

Yo homolad, cheers dude!

Stick

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate, nice comment! We just recorded two tunes and will be releasing to iTunes very soon. I have found the two guys I was looking for and am extremely honored to have a rhythm section of such high caliber ;-)

[bassist13]

The mix sounds fine, but then again i am using Sennheiser HD280's

[crguti]

mmm... I didn't like the drummer.

[Alprofight]

no, i think he's great and they all seem to have been together for always!!!

[scorpia616]

Clearly freakin' awesome!

[ChemicalMikeUK]

very good! 5 stars!!

[eipylOh]

Wow, that's awesome. =)

[kotekotekitty]

he frettles? :o

[RobChappers]

@kotekotekitty Yeah, no frets! I still can't believe he could play the riff first time with no frets... Rain is a pro ;-)

[kotekotekitty]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO epic

[danny390xx]

I have no problem with hearing the bass? but then again I HAVE GOOD SPEAKERS if this is a sample of monkey lord, omg you're gonna huge :) antony is awesome so funky! :D

[antonystevensmusic]

Thanks man! Put a smile on my face...

[mgfdh]

Sounds poor, drums to loud and cant hear the BASS man!! shame on you monkey lord

[goodguitaristatmetal]

@mgfdh Your Clearly deaf

[robostomo1]

what song is that? its amazing

[MaagicMushroom]

awesome Vid, would be better if the bassist could be heard more seen as it is an intro to him, but some nice jammin (:

[theraven1232]

The EQ needs alot more low end especially considering your introducing your bass player, can barely hear anything

[ascp67]

Wicked guys, very tight, I likey allot

[paulannis]

809Metallica - Cheers dude!

Stick \m/

[PRSpl4yer]

Sounds great man, yall are rockin'. Appropriate amount of funk in there from the bassist haha,

[NachoNinja3]

I'm liking the return of the flying V Rob, sounds and looks awesome :D

[jacobtb1]

[SkootSucksAtLife]

nice drumming but it was a bit loud for the video

[gibson1911a]

diggin the Gibson " V " Rob sounds great :)

[IronGuitarist]

I fucking LOVE that V.

[GeetarGuy101]

Sorry if i am being a major noob and its one of the songs your supposed to know. . but whats the name of the song you guys play at the beggining?? (an original)

[Phoebian]

The drumming is awesome!

[eric793]

Nice, the new bassist fits really well. Great sound guys!

[nielda155]

nice!!

[davemis40]

Sounding awesome, some great riffs there .. but you gotta get the right voice .. without a vocalist to match, all that brilliant musicianship will be wasted.

[Fairyplay]

Niice !! \m/

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

I am so glad you kept the V :-)

gonna put some dimarzios in it?

it would sound killer!

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

I cant wait to see what else you guys are gonna come up with :-)

[8ulls3y3]

Antonio Cassano on drums!

[rockingrugger]

Drummer reminds me of Nicko McBrain, his style, his appearance, and his attitude =D

[budhabuddymaister]

Finaly! the video worked. a day late. but was worth the wait.

Damn you guys sound good together. well done rob for findin such awesome band members.

wish you best for the future ;D

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate I appreciate that! It really is like I found a pair of brothers to share the journey with, I couldn't be happier ;-)

[tikarina02]

i can't really hear the bass lol

[RobChappers]

He was using a small practice rig in this video... However he just scored a sweet deal with Ashdown so he will be smudging us against the walls shortly ;-)

[barret707]

Is he going to get a new bass aswell because that rock bass doesnt sound the best (could be the recording or amp) i love the fact hes a fretless player though.

[antonystevensmusic]

Hey Barret, Yes buddy I'm looking for a new bass, fretted 5 string. The recording was using the mic on the camera which explains the sound quality. I'm picking my my Ashdown amp on Friday and I hope a bass shortly thereafter.

[barret707]

Awesome i cant wait man

[fgc347]

Congratulations to you guys.....you found each other! Cool!

Houba! :-)

[gonya33]

Badass ol' Chap! Wish I could catch you guys at Monkey Fest.... ugh.

[Nemquin]

Haha, that was so weird, i just scrolled down for 3 seconds quickly looking at the comments and when i came back up you had a different guitar, i was struck by WTF'ism :P

[MaestrosounD]

smart move Rob, lessons via skype ;)

[k2snake]

wow, this is so awesome.. can't wait to listen to you live! :P

[captainchrist1986]

that flying V sounded foul.

[dwg316]

welcome dude for getting in!!!

[coolchamber1]

Cool, what did you record this on? Was it a Q3?

[jackrusselkilla]

thats amazing u guys are gonna be big...  are you going to get a vocalist?

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

I would have thought that if anyone was going to do vocals it would be the Monkey Lord himself.

[jackrusselkilla]

good point.... nut how do we no that he can sing?

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

watch?v=f0zAHDql4ZA @ 1:21 I think is all the evidence you should need :-P

[RobChappers]

@jackrusselkilla I shall be singing ;-)

[antonystevensmusic]

[sonofkikkoman]

[CrestStudios]

Great sound guys. There's plenty more left in the tank ... and a big thanks for the plug for the studio on the comments. Tim at Crest Studios

[RobChappers]

@CrestStudios Cheers Tim, awesome rooms - Nice to have decent air con as well, especially with Stick drumming for us... ;-)

[paulannis]

What have I got to do with aircon...

Stick

[whilel0l]

Sound awesome dudes!

[paulannis]

Yo guys, cheers for all the cool comments, we all can't wait to get gigging! These rehearsals are just recorded with a small sony mic hung from the celling straight in to the video camera hence the instrument imbalance. We will be trying different things each jam to see what works best. We will try to do the best we can and get some more great footage up soon. Keep um peeled!

Stick

[illusionfreak]

30 an hour?! Fuck me..... that's like 45 dollars an hour. Maybe when I get in the cash bro.

Damn good jam Rob. It looks like things are working out for you guys. As always, I wish the best to you and the band. Keep it rockin' mate.

[Zeppelin211]

This is so fucking good

[AdamLeeGuitarist]

Antony is very, very talented! Great playing, Antony. And Rob - the mastery shines through, as usual. Great drummer . . . all that talent under one roof! Congrats, Rob! ;o)

[antonystevensmusic]

Thanks adamleeguitarist really appreciate that. More on the way stay tuned :-)

[Hry242]

Damn, sounds great!

[pezdispenser2435]

Rob, did you get a new gibson??

[antonystevensmusic]

Thanks nefty73, appreciate that a lot :-)

[budhabuddymaister]

i saw the video that this was responded in. where you played guitar. and the double bass. you sound pretty good. i would love to see this video tho. and to see how you guys play together.

Shame...

[antonystevensmusic]

It's working at my end, keep trying I'm hopefully it'll work soon mate.

[budhabuddymaister]

video isnt buffering for me for some reason ....

[Hezus3Christo]

ahhh man im sooo looking forward to see you guys headline monkey fest!! \m/ this is some groovy shit right up my ally!!

[umpalumpa101909]

getting a rythem player? :P, and a singer? :D

[ToddHakes]

Rob sings. The Lee plays rhythm. 'Nuff said.

[DylanVonFrankenstein]

First jam ever? You guys sound really tight already. I think Antony will fit in just fine.

[antonystevensmusic]

Also - thank you all so much for your kind comments. I look so stupid grinning ear to ear while I read them all!

[antonystevensmusic]

Hey guys, To answer all your question SF0809, I'm playing a Warrick Rockbass Fretless 5 string with a couple of emg pickups. I found the weighting of them just right for my style of playing. I'm looking to get a fretted bass to I can keep up with chappers a little better as this is hard on a Fretless!

[nonicborj]

very tight! awesome monkey lord! \m/

[MetalMessiah625]

so mr. chappers was this like a jam or an a recorded song?

sounds pretty epic !

[RobChappers]

@MetalMessiah625 Hi mate, this was our first ever jam ;-)

[MetalMessiah625]

Well it needs to be a 1st on ur next album, i thought it was pretty catch specially the drum

[paulannis]

Cheers Dude....

Stick

[19guitarman94]

hey chappers, i thought you were going to do a baritone rhythm instead of bass. it sounds good anyway, well that is when u can hear him play.

[einaroneeye]

Nice, nice, very nice. Looks like you've found a keeper, laid down the groove and kept pumpin' along with you Rob. Killer!

[dsvogel420]

[Markn951]

Damn, when people talk about tight rhythm...THIS IS IT. It really shows when serious, EXPERIENCED musicians come together and make awesome music. I am envious, bros!

[hardrockermetallica]

tabs?

[edguyrocks]

That is how a band should be....fun! Great vid!

[Zcarbon]

Antony=WIN PIE!!

Really awesome bassist to complement the Monkey Lords guitar playing. But the drums were a little loud in the mix.

[JohnR242]

Well, for me the drums overpowered everything on this video, and destoryed the bass line and the chappers on a lot of your riffs. Sorry, but it might of sounded good where you guys were. Out hear in You Tube land it sounded not so good: sorry.

John (62 year young disabled Rocker)

[Z0ul0u]

[ChaosReaper101]

That bassist rocks it. He is followin you on some pretty complicated lines Rob! Well done.
