[stringslayer97]

[okamasphere]

Good thing yall kicked out the bassist. Monkey Lord needs a bassist thats going to add coolness to the band and style. I'm sure he is a nice guy.

[najtrows]

[aledrinker666]

I need tea after that too. Phew!

[SupportExtremeMusic]

[JordannM14]

[redking133]

[ReignLicks]

I don't suppose this was recorded with a condenser microphone was it?........... Oh my sense of humour is awful LOOOL :P

[zxkevkop]

[GenraLifesAtion]

"we're quite good...cuppa tea?" haha awesome, dude \m/

[jewelfewel]

[grassmower83]

[EJRocky]

SHED METAL!

New genre. New genre.

[Ibik]

the intro reminds me of FCPREMIX. i love this song dont get me wrong. anyways when is this gonna be out?

[TheJohnPetras]

Guitar needed to be more "in your face" I think. Ossim song though.

[MansightJoker]

This song just became an inspiration for out band's heavy songs!! THANK YOU O' GREAT MONKEY LORD!!!! :D

[JoaoNGoncalves]

The final version of this song is AMAZING.

"MOTHERFUCKKEEEEEEER!" *Headbanging and Awesome solo*

[hughh20]

Shed solo? Is this a new garden-based genre you have made?

[chubbymosher700]

is this the song where you sceam "motherf*ckers!" chappers?

[Leviskardsen]

Hearing this makes me wish you'd do more instrumentals.

[satch60]

Just bought this from Itunes and the Something epic EP cool as fuck

[Nameless164]

I can't wait any longer for the release :l

[RobChappers]

@Nameless164 It's on iTunes right now!

[Nameless164]

[TheLukeDaniel]

[deathhead76]

[TheEnglishWay1]

1.22 FTW!

[809Metallica]

You should make a song name Souls of Distortion or Souls of distroction!

[drakester115]

is the "secret" Marshall amp called the "Metal" Marshall? u guys took the Marshall 2203 KK as a starting point and made it better. but it has a Budda-Esq voicing to it?

[tstj123]

Wow you said Shed Not Shred!

[HeadbangerHimself]

Is it a diamond phantom?? :P?

[Maten123]

Reminds me of a mastodon kinda sound

[TheYellowPulse]

Dream Theater/ Rush sorta sections in there too.

[CastellanMusic]

is the amp, the 1928 (not sure of the date) 85th Anniversary marshall??

[RobChappers]

Yeah that's right it's the 85th Anniversary!

[Arktik83]

The drum beat at 1:36 reminds me of St. Anger :o

[Blade686]

That's a pretty common drum beat in metal. :)

[chadewatson]

@Arktik83 -its just cut time

[almostsk8er01]

loving the reference to tropic thunder in there! you never go full retard.

[yoyodunno]

headbangd, that song makes me wanna rock the fuck out

[RobChappers]

Wait till you hear the solo and vocals mate! ;-)

[superjesus117]

Well Imma guess the "secret" amp is the prototype Uberschall you tried out with in the US with Llexi. Am I close?

[RobChappers]

@superjesus117 No - you fail ha ha

[superjesus117]

Damn :(

It was def Br00tal enough to be the Bogner.

GIVE US A HINT DAMNIT

[RobChappers]

Marshall - Hint - It's a Marshall

[hiitsmcjosh]

a Marshall RC100? Rob Chappers 100 watt sig amp?

[guysapire]

lol

[alapunk13]

@RobChappers what amp are you using? i still don't know :)

[DennChooch]

@alapunk13 i think he uses his orange rockerverb here

[RobChappers]

@DennChooch No mate, this was a Marshall 1985th combo ;-)

[SupremeMaggot]

Sweet tune. :) Keep up the good work.

[drewmusic08]

most excellent guy, can't wait to hear the finished track.

[Ibik]

nice, how comes you are not using your signiture guitar?

[RobChappers]

@Ibik I didn't have it at the time dude - Arrived the day after ;-)

[MajesticJesusPirate]

is monkey lord going to be completely instrumentals?

i mean i would listen to this with or without vocals lmao but im just wondering

[voodoo778]

I would love to see a 'shed solo' :p

[ManifestPanda]

its progg metal you sillies! open your mind and let the awesomeness leak in.

great work rob, i loved it. bass intos are my favorite ^_^

this needs vocals, but i dont think screaming would fit. maybe a melodic/aggresive few verses. 5/5

[asklcnvivdf]

Awsome tune, Chappers! Very exctiting to listen to, I must say.

[slayermik]

yeh i fucking love SHED SOLO'S there fucking epic

[iSK37CH]

Niiice! sounding epic guys keep up the good work!!

"he gone full retard" LEGEND!

\m/

[antonystevensmusic]

I really did go full retard at that point, it all stopped working! Thanks for comments :-)

Rain

[gonya33]

Sick Monkeys! I want MOAR!!!

[abaichmaide]

HEAVAY!!!! I LOVE IT!

[hillysats]

Just an fyi, I did some growls while watching this video.

You must also make a full backing track, it is honestly very fun to improv over.

[paulannis]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrowl \m/

Stick

[keith101guitar]

this has to be the most boring 'metal' tune ive ever heard, worse than the 90's. great musicians, just maybe not in my taste of music :) But keep rockin guys!

[alapunk13]

i must agree here...maybe just not my cup of tea

[m0j0101]

when you play epicly you get CRAZY EYES!!!

[metalheadtiddelz]

Are you considering adding a vocalist to your line up or just being a 3 piece instrumental band?

Either way... sounds awesome man.

[frizzle16]

Very cool. Sounded a little Opeth-y at times. Definitely not a bad thing :)

Keep showing us more, dear lord of monkey!

[RobChappers]

Just to make this absolutely clear, I will be playing ESP, Fender, Gibson, PRS and Chapman Guitars - In short what ever I want to play.

I would never limit myself as a musician despite owning a guitar brand. My focus will always be on Chapman Guitars but there will always be room in my repertoire for a Custom 24, Horizon FR etc.

Chappers

[TMSierra]

that.... was........ BADASS!!!!! love it

[Hezus3Christo]

can't wait for this song to come out with some tabs... if it ever will i'd learn it ! but sadly probably wont :(

[RobChappers]

There will be tab with each Album ;-)

[Hezus3Christo]

great ill be buying those by the way ^_^ ... im liking what i hear so far and this is just the tip of the iceburg im sure on whats to come! keep up the great work man!

[SwampAshSpecial]

sounds great!!!!

[overlex]

ESP pwns !!

[ColmIncendinall]

I'm loving the jazziness at the start...

You guys gel and groove really fucking well together! I'm delighted for you Rob! Greets and congrats from Ireland!

Colm

[TheShredCamel]

Can't wait for the Shed solo :P

[mrichman]

not a very good ad for "Chapman Guitars" if you're playing an ESP

[RobChappers]

This is not an "Ad" for Chapman Guitars, Prototype 2 ML1 arrived the day after this shoot.

[BurninAss]

I guess he meant to say something like "When the inventor of the ML1 is not playing a ML1, how good can the ML1 then be?" ;-)

[RobChappers]

Yes... again - I didn't have an ML1 to play!

However now I do ;-)

[scorpia616]

Hes indorsed by them...

[bizzle1783]

Nice 1 lads

[22Rocker22]

1:24, insert SHED solo xD ?

Hooray for typos ^_^?

[BumBiscuit0]

stop playing muthafuckin' jazz fool - epic.

I kinda agree'd with labarrera13 in regards to the initial part of the practice, but by half way through it was starting to sound really awesome.

[paulannis]

Honesty is the best policy!

Stick

[AusMetal33]

QUALITY!

maybe turn the bass up a little next time?

[labarrera13]

everybody here is going to kill me for saying this lol, but this sounded...

rather amateur-ish =/ You can do way better man, much more professional songs.

Good first effort for guys who're just starting to jam together though, keep it up =)

[V3xify]

You guys are awesome lol

[surtursfire]

Sounds great Rob. Get that shizzle recorded!

[Blade686]

That was quite GODLY!

[RobChappers]

@Blade686 Cheers mate ;-)

[almostsk8er01]

so have u decided to keep cokie then?

[RobChappers]

@almostsk8er01 No, she is sold to Monty - But I borrowed her for this shoot ;-)

[almostsk8er01]

@RobChappers ah i see. shame, she's a babe

[broomiester]

demented, awesome and fun for all the family :D love it guys!

[satch60]

that's epic i fuckin love it already man, can't wait to hear the finished product

[stark08k]

Awesome sound - the three piece sounds mahusive. Instead of vocals though, I think a duelling banjo track would work brilliantly.

[gibson1911a]

sounding pretty good guys...looks like ya'll are having fun...can't wait to hear the final track...

[Str0dey]

thats pretty rockin

[PapaKenny777]

awesome!!

[diazluisdiaz]

Insert SHED solo

[SmokeyAmp]

Shed solo?

[ShamanS08]

Nice!!!

[belgiumstefan]

Didn't like the first riff but the rest was awesome!

[AdamLeeGuitarist]

Awesome song, guys! Love your guitar tone, Rob - amazing, as always! ;o)

[ilikezappa]

I just popped down to my shed in my mac and wellies for a quick "solo"

[JMcDonnell91]

you guys get on sooooooo well for people who met online. it seems like you've all been best mates for years! :)

[NikDonaghy23]

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

nice tone and tune man!

[kuringmundo]

the sheer awesomeness cannot be contained in this tiny room.

[RobChappers]

@kuringmundo Monkey Lord Approved \m/

[theremembering]

MAD RESPECT TO THE MONKEY LORD. \,,,/ ALL BOW BEFORE THE AWSOMENESS THAT IS METAL!! awsome job guys. looking foreward to seeing you touring the world someday.

[RobChappers]

@theremembering Monkey Lord Approved \m/

[ShreddingKing13]

[sonofkikkoman]

"shed solo" hahaa

[travlovesyou]

What amp are you playing here Robb?

[RobChappers]

@travlovesyou  Hi mate, I am pretty much exclusively using my Marshall 1923 85th Combo ;-)

[DWMDrums]

Nobody goes full retard!! Win! :L

[Z0ul0u]

The bass isn't loud enough!

[FloroSapien]

I love the riff at 1:15. It would be nice with slow double bass fucking.

[rodletodge]

Loved the part at 0:53

[wickedexp]

OH MY EFFIN' GOD! ... :29 & :54... I have a song with a riff just like those... Great minds think alike I guess... dang... now I gotta change it. haha... Should I?

[glassprisoner417]

absolutley-fuckin-love it!!!!!!

[IronGuitarist]

Oh oh oh your bassist should get a fretless cause it would sound cooler imo as well your drummer is HILARIOUS.

[IronGuitarist]

1:34 is fucking sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[guitaristman23]

hey rob i was just wondering if you in drop tuning say drop c can you still play major and minor chords because of droping the top string if so can you tell me how or a lesson maybe? i know your really busy with the new band

[RobChappers]

@guitaristman23 You can play any chord anywhere mate as long as you use the right notes! ;-)

[guitaristman23]

ok thanks

[cerebralaniphenomdx]

hey rob can you use an ML 1 on your future videos?

[RobChappers]

@cerebralaniphenomdx Yes mate - I have Prototype 2 now and I just had her wired up with a Mo Joe so she is ready to fly ;-)

[mimminito]

this band is gonna be epic lol, you all gel so well!!

[hendrixkixas]

I thought you said this was going to be predominantly a blues-rock band ina previous video. If that is so, then I am dissapointed.

[RaidenNoKishi]

Righteous! Thank you for getting a really good bassist - there are too many lazy bass players in rock music today. I'm sure the solo will make us all "shed" tears! ^_~

[antonystevensmusic]

Thanks RaidenNoKishi! I'm forever trying to strike the balance between too much and too little.

[paulannis]

bit like eating pizza...

Stick

[RobChappers]

@paulannis There is no "too much" with Pizza \m/

[paulannis]

Let's do the Monkey Lord Master pizza eater series....

Stick \m/ \m/

[slicer789]

aww mate, not the slightest of hints on the amp?

[RobChappers]

@slicer789 No ;-)

[slicer789]

urgh.

You'd better review it once it's officially released though ;)

[Yogster]

Righteous!!

[davemis40]

Stick

[AlexRaymond19]

Reminds me of mastodon, keep up the good work!

[JayDeeSG]

Can't wait to hear the "shed" solo... :-)

Lovin' the tune mates!

[13thorderbass]
