Shimmy - System Of A Down (Acoustic/Chilled version)

[MrGuitardude420]

I absolutely love this man. Beautiful. Better than the original, in my opinion. Love from America.

[15viceandvirtues]

I LOVE the toxicity album!!! SOAD were almost like a second Sabbath for me. And this is a fantastic rendition, Chappers!!!

[trentjeman]

awesome!!!

[MuffinWithAnAxe]

I quite like some of SOAD's stuff... but I really didn't like Shimmy. But I LOVE this :D

[PapaJohn117]

tomas haake?

[lindsea7154]

your singing is beautiful I literally almost cried :')

[alyzajayne]

id love to hear other SOAD songs sung like this : D

[disgustipated07]

@DANizDAN yesss, that is spot on!

[gigaman3]

Wow Chappers, I didnt know you could sing. I also didn't know you could be without a beard haha! Rock on buddy, you're a great inspiration for many people out there :)

[lorkir]

More harmonic than originale!! :o very nice and great voice!!

[ghigaful]

[herazsolt1990]

OMG thats a style! sooooo good!

[fishi4202]

@kemalbjk27 Chill :)



[andthemushrooms123]

SOAD are my favourite band and i love your cover, it's beautiful :)

[RuairidhLowe93]

Any chance of a lesson for this?

[kemalbjk27]

i hate these kind of slow/chilled what-the-fuck-ever covers.

[EivindS94]

haha, I like that "Big Trouble in Little China" poster ^^ that movie was awesome. Like your cover. but in another way of course

[sandman6983]

Just brilliant Chappers!  Love it!

[stansmith]

I wish I could sing like you

oh, I wish I had the guitar skills you have too. but the singing was prodigious in this video

[MrZerox123]

Not bad mate rather liked how you had a zack wylde approach

[felpardini]

Dou you think that a stack(4x12 cab) is too much too play inside a room? (i'm thinking about buying a JCM)

[IvoryStars]

One of the only dudes that an give a Viking goosebumps with his voice.  Way to go Chappers.

[bigrock007]

no wrong notes with closed eyes thats nice;)

[altpath]

One of the best covers I've heard, I'm glad you didn't just cover it as the original. Great voice too.

[KoRnRage64]

Wow :O

Amazed is an understatement for what i am right now!

Brilliant cover my man!

[Tobsi1804]

you fucking rock :D

it´s awesome

greetz from germany

[jordanlythgoe1303]

that is amazing. ur the best chappers :)

[bobbex89]

can you do spiders for me?

[GroovyGuitar02]

btw , your videos are fantastic ! props to you :)

[GroovyGuitar02]

i wonder : what's your daily practice schedule ?

[jamesxme]

I had to rip this to have on my ipod..

Its AWESOME!

Also, i bought WIthin Arms Reach off itunes the other day... Fucking hell its good!

[SSJ2Killua]

I'd really enjoy it if you put up more songs that you've done. It's cool watching all the Monkey Lord stuff, but I really enjoy just seeing you play and sing a full song.

[DWMDrums]

Please do more covers like this man, seriously enjoyed it and will be putting the sound file on my ipod for future listening :) \M/

[jhnavyblue]

This is great! I have been listening to this for 3 days straight now. I hope to see more in the future.

[genefrenkle4]

That's almost better than the original in its own way. Kudos

[RobChappers]

@genefrenkle4 Thanks man, I appreciate your nice words ;-)

[flashpadxxx]

How did u record your singing?Just a cam?

[chikaofg]

Do a chilled out version of Rain Wizard by BSC!

There'd be so much win that I'd want to make love to the video and have lots of little baby wins.

[kamikazimonk1987]

@RobChappers Dude your Vocals are Really good dude! Come on leaps and bounds over past few months!! Nice work dude!!!

just a suggestion, try this sorta Treatment with say Aerials by SOAD would work really well i imagine!

[houghtor]

Inspired cover Chappers - never heard the song before but can't stop singing the chorus.

Let us less creative types into how you came up with it - did it just come to you? did you see or something else that kicked off the idea in your head? were you mucking about with those Eastern type scales?

[frickeyrain]

love it. keep it up

[4CapyNaturaL]

yeahh. Nice.

[heavymetal1110]

Black- Pearl jam, do it :) lol

Great job on this cover!

[TassinUSN]

its "shimmy shimmy shimmy through the break of dawn" dude

[agentdungeon]

NIce job dude!!! awesome!!! also do you know how to get decent or any endorsments? thanks :)

[RobChappers]

@agentdungeon I think you need to watch my "How to get endorsed" video ;-)

[kls4life]

as far as suggestions go, you should cover the acoustic version to "Stillborn" by BLS. :)

[godlikecharacta]

I Love this cover! it's damn Good!

[Yowzow]

This cover led me too look up system of a down and now Cigaro is my favourite song! thanks much my furry monkey friend

[kirk649]

dude you have a fucking nice voice.....1000/1000 star´s i love this song....

[TheTheBitches]

You've just discovered a new genre of music 

[bigleemac]

You need to release this mate!

[bigpooter01]

How did you not know you had a voice that sounds that good?

[noiseorsignal]

Great System.... cheers

[bremernille]

HOLY SHIT! Great voice, great guitar :D More of this!

[Blader999]

I stopped youtubing, started yourobchappersing.

Can't stop watching these :D

[MrGuitarcovers10]

great voice, im super jealous right now

[jonathanjsmith56]

Nice one Chappers - melodic man melodic. 

[neilreynard]

I had know idea you could sing that well! Exellent stuff!!!

[wolvetech]

Awesome ^^

[SHADOWCLONE177]

This version I actually like better then the original not that the original is bad, Its amazing but the lyrics feel better like this and if they did like that (if they ever get back together) and build into the blinding speed mode I think that would be awesome

[surtursfire]

Dude Chappers, awesome job on the singing in this one. Love the chorus.

[RobChappers]

@surtursfire Thanks mate ;-)

[superjesus117]

Rob, this was REALLY cool. Are we going to be seeing more videos similar to this one??

[RobChappers]

@superjesus117 Maybe... Any suggestions?

[JonnyRake]

@RobChappers enter sandman would be interesting

[guysapire]

@RobChappers try doing Dio or Black Sabbath like that!

or maybe something off Frank Zappa's man from utopia.

[050296gareth]

@RobChappers wanted dead or alive?;-)

[yahyamed]

@RobChappers chop suey

[godlikecharacta]

@RobChappers disposable heros!

[FluffersTheFirst]

@RobChappers how about 'suggestions'?

[Szweejek92]

@RobChappers what about I-E-A-I-A-I-O?:D

[benzakonium]

@RobChappers how about some Alice in Chains Jar of Flies covers? Amazing album

[hungrysparrow]

Awesome cover Monkey Lord. I would be great to hear you vocal power cover some other rawk classics in the future.

[kirk649]

[jakob94juhl]

[szczypiorq]

Epic cover! I love You Rob!

[RobChappers]

@szczypiorq I love you to random citizen! ;-)

[BostonWidowers]

Very nice, the ghost Fret is looking great!! never wear a suit man, you're too chilled out =]

[bigleemac]

Nice one mate, you should do more of this kinda stuff, suits your singing style nicely.

[DubWoodcock]

awsome.. sick headstock on that guitar...

[Mattus1111]

Perhaps you should try "Aerials" as well.

[ESPSROCK]

Really liked it chappers :)

[mojo292]

Very nice, loved it. Thumbs up!

[massif20022000]

This is not a beard comment, repeat, not a beard comment.

Why did you black out parts of the infinity symbol?

[RobChappers]

@massif20022000 The infinity symbol overlapped the 11th and 13th fret and I found it very distracting... Odd because I hardly ever look at the fret board and mostly play with my eyes closed. I guess I get most of my visual reference from the 12th fret inlay ;-)

[miguelitoring]

@RobChappers Wow, I just tried playing an entire song with my eyes closed. It was a humbling experience...

[modemuxx]

wau this is great

[Brainbox97]

That've

[RockingB08]

very cool version cool mood.

Rock on Rob RoR :D

[gokuangus]

very very nice my man!!!!! muy bueno as i like to say.

[coulsonsam87]

[coffeeflush]

Im a big fan of the original so i went wtf but still good cover

[MrDirectGraffiti]

death to nu metal and shitcore

[FISHURMOMBALL]

This is what the Monkey Lord looks like without specs

[farlay]

[dwg316]

[Malteboy777]

11 people can't sing and play guitar at the same time! ^_^ And got way jalous!

[RobChappers]

@Malteboy777  Ha ha ha ;-)

[Malteboy777]

@RobChappers Nice cover btw. =)

[jakob94juhl]

@Malteboy777 you mean 11% or just 11?

[Malteboy777]

@jakob94juhl What do you think bro..

[lighteningboy]

Well done Chappers

[dmdark]

[paulcollumbine]

[zKilljoy]

[DaRealMopsi]

[petedechop]

Got to appreciate the music of the LORD

[sabrakazama]

Rob, you never cease to amaze man. Brilliant vocals and great guitar works.

[RobChappers]

@sabrakazama Thanks mate ;-)

[thisisjustjeff]

I thought i was gonna watch an acoustic version... this isn't acoustic.

[ITRIPOVERMYCOCK]

anyway to hear this on a nice 12 string?....

[diabeticmonkey]

This is actually kinda funny.

[jjulch]

Sorry about the beard comments, I didn't even recongize the video post because there were no glasses nor a beard. I was just telling my wife I want to cut my beard off, but she and my son said I'd look to weird without out. Don't they understand sometime dudes need to change it up a little? Anyway, cool cover. Thanks for sharing!

[chikaofg]

Chappers! Do you have time for Skype lessons?

[RobChappers]

@chikaofg I may be in the future dude, just not really set up for it yet... ;-)

[j1mss]

@RobChappers Good god if you ever do Skype lessons I'm first in line.

[talkingpanda]

[Firestorm686]

[sonofkikkoman]

yeah system of a down is great! started listening a couple of weeks ago for a long time.

[Andrewmcg1234]

Do a singing lesson!!

[RobChappers]

@Andrewmcg1234 Ha ha I only just learnt some basics dude... I could never teach singing yet ;-)

[mashafasha5]

That was pretty epic.

[voodooriders]

Different... but very cool mo'fuggah! :D

[tdag100]

[EdgarBeja]

Awesome!!!

[mr252307]

Nooo Not the Beard!!! EPIC cover nonetheless..

[nickatene01]

As a huge system fan and a huge Chappers fan, I love this. 

[Zorlak108]

[Stenfeldt111]

[AbbieTipler12]

@RobChappers Your voice is Hypnotic! Can't wait to hear more of you singing :D

[yamitanomura]

woow .. Sounds really great !

[GeetarGuy101]

Chappers!!:D i know this is completely off topic and has nothing to do with this epiccccccc cover, but are there any faith acoustic for around £200 or below?:/ Im looking for a good acoustic and your faith sounds EPIC but I remember it being pricey! So.. if you know of any faiths if you could let me know that woudl be great..or if you could tell any other brands?:D

Cheers dude! \m/

[ToddHakes]

@GeetarGuy101 Have you ever heard of going to the website of said guitar brand and checking prices?

It's just a thought...

[GeetarGuy101]

@ToddHakes Have you ever thought that the Faith site only states the models, gives details and dealers and NOT the prices?

Feel like a big man now?..

[ToddHakes]

@GeetarGuy101 Ooh, touché XD

I was just suggesting something that a surprisingly large group of noobs on YouTube DON'T do before they ask such questions, so don't take what I said wrong. In a sick twisted sort of way, I was really just trying to help. :D

[PantomimeHorseMusic]

This is just massive piles of awesome.

[MattPurkis]

ant seen you play a faith for a while there chap. i assume your still endorsed?

[n1ll3r]

Chappers, you have a lovely voice.

How much would one have to pay you, for doing some singing on ones EP?

[RobChappers]

@n1ll3r To book me for a session please contact my manager Dan - manager@monkeylord.co.uk

[Zowez]

nice cover

[FloroSapien]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

[minimcnoon]

@RobChappers

Dude, saw you walking into Costa(lot) Coffee yesterday, didn't want to disturb you and (whom i believe to be) MrsML... but yeah, was good to see the chappers in the flesh!

[RobChappers]

@minimcnoon You should have said hello mate, I like meeting people! Yes that was Mrs ML, which makes you the first dude to see her ha ha... ;-)

[dustinleblancrock]

@RobChappers I think it would be nice to meet her on camera a bit, after all she is important right?

[Samodnar]

ok.....now do the original version.

[col33145]

holly cow bat man !!!!were has that chap mo gone ,,awesome job mate \M/

[RobChappers]

Holy flying messiah... If I get one more beard comment I think I'll cut my hair off and wear a suit...

[Shammy4ever]

@RobChappers No you won't!

[ChrisSchoonover1]

@RobChappers I don't think suits would... suit... you.

[MattPurkis]

@RobChappers beard!!....

[JerkyChid]

@RobChappers

We only need one Devin Townsend, Chappers; the world is almost overblown by his epicness alone!

[GazMaddogJones]

@RobChappers @RobChappers DON'T DO IT !!!

Us long haired beardy types a.k.a... Manly men, are a dying breed !

[Crazymofoinamajikbox]

@RobChappers NO! D:

[Digideus]

@RobChappers well, you could cut your hair and glue it on your face as a beard!

[jakeblandjk47]

@RobChappers FUCK......... THAAAAAT! ;)

[yongling]

@RobChappers wow you shaved your beard! :P

[ByronWebb1]

@RobChappers I take it your not doing movember XD

[TheJH2010]

@RobChappers Well, you can't just drop the no beard thing on us without a little warning. Great cover, its just now you look kinda like Jesse Ventura.

[AJS19]

@RobChappers Like this if you would actually want to see Chappers cut his hair and wear a suit? :o

[Pollinator95]

@AJS19 you´ll regret it if it happens... your mind will implode and your eyeballs will liquidize at the mere sight of him. Youll still get eargasms, though.

[BlackDiamond351]

@RobChappers In the words of Barney Stinson "SUIT UP!"

[foil666]

@RobChappers Monkey lord in a monkey suit. Do it Rob.

[BMBsWhyNot]

This is awsome.

[RobChappers]

@reaperman1994 Thanks man, ESP Liked it so much that they gave me a Horizon in exchange for it ;-)

[leepetersonuk]

nice, no comment on the beard :-)

[GhostmakerX]

No worries about the beard. This video was posted nearly an hour ago, and it's the Monkey Lord we're talking bout here. Chances are, it's already grown back.

[Klimpmeister]

Beard - Get one.

[AraGuitar]

System of a Down and the CHAPPERS?! my life is complete
