Rob Chappers - Bleed the light

[rockingrugger]

@RobChappers I just realised this.. For some reason, you remind me of a bearded, guitar-shredding, much wackier and crazier James May. I don't know why this thought suddenly popped into my head.. Don't worry though, it's a compliment!

[blazehand187]

lol Damnit!!! I wrote a sick ass riff a few weeks ago and i thought it was the first super original thing i made so far. Then i turned on this video and its almost the same thing as the fucking riff to this song haha... i suck

[Deluxeta]

Rob looked like Krist Novoselic at the time.

Now he's got his badass beard.

[redkill97]

rob, how the hell did u come up with that intro riff? its fucking awsome

[SanjeevGeorgeV]

rob you put a lesson of this right? thanks...I got that.Is the original song available for download?

[MrBertStone]

Oh god, serious old school Robert, LONG LIVE CRAZY CHAPPERS!!!

[LoganCannonGuitar]

@campbelljohn15 Its actually a vintage icon series guitar, so it's supposed to have that old, worn down look :D \m/

[mikeygheetarz]

@LoganCannonGuitar I think he meant what happened as in where is it, because Chappers hasn't played it in one of his vids in years

[eli7464]

I miss the old chappers.

[campbelljohn15]

what ever happened this guitar?

[LoganCannonGuitar]

@TheMasterLuk You just heard it didn't you? :D it sounds epic man

[LoganCannonGuitar]

Awesome as usual my fellow monkey lord \m/ I also have a vintage ;)

[Overwatch93]

cool vintage. How about a review? :)

[TheMasterLuk]

This is a V6 from Icon line, isn't it? Is it a good guitar?

[MrChuck881]

@TheMasterLuk great guitar for a lower price, i had one but then i sold it to my mate regretted it ever since, but a very good guitar none the less. if you wanted to though i'd advise putting in a set of DiMarzio's or other high end single coils

[heavymetaldude1234]

win

[MetalGorilla27]

Sounds a lot like a Satriani type song, but amazing man!! =D

[Carthsgtr]

ROFL at the "cheers guys" at the end.

[dyingbreadd]

In my opinion Strat really suits you Rob : )

[OliTheGuitarist]

That intro is the shit Rob!

[teezer123]

[boneprone00]

[the2menis1]

@FenerFreaky1907 didnt quite make sense? the guy that recorded it is called Stick, he has a youtube channel, i think its called mrstickmonkey

[FenerFreaky1907]

@FenerFreaky1907

[ruadhanderocker]

the amount of views this has.. so low.. it's disgraceful!

[Gordonzola4president]

youtube needs a replay-button.

[Bieniu92]

waiting for your cd to arrive in shops ;] probably the best way to spend money ;] ass kicking song !

[rockandrolladdicts]

CHAPPERS, i will buy this right now ! i love it

[czarek4229]

ORANGE only for FENDER :D

[EmilKrejberg]

Whats up with the hair??? :-)

[acdcyoyoer]

@EmilKrejberg lmao check the date dude

[acquiesce1993]

WOW! U the man Robbie.

[ghsr82]

i can't find this on itunes :(

[Iron4664]

This is absolutely unbelievable! Chappers, you're defo in the top 5 of my favourite guitarists! Also, you're like a bloody chameleon with the hairstyles! Ha

[mapexdad]

Chappers did you copyright this song and if you did... how ?

James :)

[bluegreenmarty]

I'm learning this song in your 4 part lesson... I have to say, I still like this version ... a lot!!! I hope to get it down soon and blend the two. I'm a huge fan and you are an insperation. Thank you.

[JeffIsCool666]

This is an eargasm! I am in love with this song. Im trying to learn it. Hope I can play it this amazing one day!

[gerpir]

hej Chapp so much changed since than, right? You did great man, keep rockin!

[electroneticTV]

reminds me a bit on ac/dc

[JEUXolim]

Definitly one of the best riffs ever made...Chappers rock!

[pfarina]

This track of yours is a true masterpiece. the music flows through your head in a way you can't resist to play it mentally.

[GuitarGod2496]

Dude man your fucking awesome i wanna be as good as you one day guitar 4 life

[Freezaen]

Boy, Chappers has come a LONG way in five years, but his epic playing transcends time.

[KingKook]

Anybody here ever hear of some dude goes by the name Jeff Beck? I understand he's rather competent... My point being this Rob fellow has fine harmonics and orchestrations but his actual melodic line and tonal quality is somewhat muddled. I know I've invited the wrath of Thor with this comment but I have been viewing this fellows vids for some time and noticing unrestrained worship. Thought some perspective might be warranted, though totally uninvited. Love and hugs and kisses to all....

[14IRONcoltonMAIDEN14]

Hey Chappers, how do you feel about Vintage guitars? Like the brand VINTAGE??

[wretcheddog]

hi man this is nice, i'm trying to copy this :D, wanted to ask something stupid: how white is this, is it more cream or more like olympic white?

[ravenshield56]

Congrats! You have played for 60 thousand peeps :P

[tollmart]

This song really dose send my heart racing. I just wish I was younger I think I'm to old at 52 to learn to play like that.

Still Ill be getting my ML1 tomorrow (tuesday) Yay :-)

[splashfizz]

Just watched your live version of recent, so had to check out his older version. Terrific, as always. Just a question though: do you have a version of this with lyrics as well? Was it meant purely as an instrumental or are the musical phrasings based on lyical parts?

[kristofferjo]

what the hell?! Chappers with short hair and not the beard awesomeness?

Love this song btw

[nine9live5]

nice work man!

And btw Youtube has a "Rob Chapman" mix (only 1 vid in there tho :P)

Rock on!!!

[PATTON400]

tabs please (:

[ghigaful]

can't be....rob withouth hair.....painfull :((

[seb110893]

my friend said this sucked and i slapped his face 

[fend14]

please cut your hair like this again rob, it's much cleaner !

[AraGuitar]

@fend14 BE GONE, foul demon!

[rickyjshiznit]

@AraGuitar he's cutting his hair at the end of april i think he said for a charity...

[AraGuitar]

@rickyjshiznit at least that's for a cause, not for aesthetics

[wesmrtz16]

@rickyjshiznit maybe so but he uploaded this video like 4 years ago. check the date bra.

[rickyjshiznit]

@wesmrtz16 what? he said he was cutting his hair for charity like 3 days ago in the description of one of his videos...

[Conorhstone]

@thefreak013 The song is tuned a half step down (E flat)

[Gibson1423]

Rob, this tune is composed PEFECTLY. You got some serious chops..

[mykemztr]

wOW your hair, this was a long time ago cause u are in MonkeyLord Mode now that makes you riffs 100% more orgasmic.

This song is amazing btw!

[258lemons]

This is awesome!!! Loving the riffage and the solos!!! Keep em' coming!!!

[Rekilo]

I bought this and loved it. The "Cheers guys." at the end was a nice thing too.

[andynyazai]

Awesome Chappers! As good as anything I've heard (and I've heard a lot). That is a monster tune!

[GrandRiffAuto73]

man... ol' school chappers

[MrManelCasanova]

hey chappers, what do you think about the vintage v6?

[comedyscooters]

what a tune!

[Conor4049]

Still one of my favourite vids of yours Chappers. Great tone here. Also, tamed Monkey?

[soundbitemusic]

great track man, I was jangling on my strat on the couch and I was subconsciously playing your riff! Guess picked it up and stored it somewhere haha!

Cheers

[SuperBobbster]

so so so much like spin doctors with the bass riff and the guitar sound, awesome

[LateNightShredder]

This reminds me of Petrucci's Glassgow Kiss

[MrFreddiebrandt]

i agree this needs more views ;)

[MrFreddiebrandt]

hey do use just use that backing track live aswel?

[eliasthedrummer10]

[2003jackb]

[osvas23]

@2003jackb anything is better than a squier strat

[MusicBuch]

Nice one :) You have a nice guitar, and you got some great Riffs :) I like it!

[Malteboy777]

WOHOW! So this is the real Chappers?! =D haha.. Short haired, non monky-fied and all dreamin of big scenes! =P Funny.. Educating too I guess?! ^_^ haha..

[GrandRiffAuto73]

THE CHAPMAN BACK IN THE DAY!

[Recklessroads]

This riff deserves a lot more credit.

you are an amazing guitarist and youre not one of those brainless shredders, you can play everything and I've downloaded your ep, and this riff in particular is stuck in my head. Great stuff man, this should be up there with the classic riffs.

[Recklessroads]

This riff deserves more credits than 70% of the riffs made the last 10 years in my opinion.

this is stuck in my head.

great stuff man. :)

[H3lloSE]

SHORT HAIIIR XD

[shred528]

I love the riff!!!!!! nd the way he looks so relaxed when he plays it! :)

[godlikecharacta]

I posted this on my FB hopefully this will help people know of the monkey lord!

[JordanLouzado]

OK WOW! THAT WAS AMAZING!

[virgult]

Rob, this video is GIGANTIC. You should come back to single coil-equipped guitars and low-wattage valve amps. We all know you're a mad shredder, you like big stack and EMGs, but this time your sound and your playing drove me absolutely crazy.

[cantcountsrrz]

sexiest song uve made so far :P

[bigpooter01]

My god that sounds beautiful! 

[krispatel1]

If that a vintage your playing?

[teenageriot123456]

billy corgan style... nice

[Pmichteinz]

by the way this riff haunts me!! Its sooooooooo goooooooooooood. Period. I was wondering though, what do you use now for recording? software? Audio Interfaces? Mics?

[JakkeLegault]

wow, I haven't heard this in a while and it still sounds as good as it did the first time I heard it, thats the sign of a great tune, nice work Chappers

[rockingrugger]

Rob, what are the amazing pickups in your strat? It sounds brilliant!

[FullOnLaughter]

awesome song! or music

[Badfish228]

the last minute is aaaawesome

[SuperBobbster]

hell of a good riff there mucker...

[GrooveMasterPatches]

Haha I thought this was someone covering it, I didnt notice it was the Monkey Lord till I saw the user name

[rgjmce666]

what you did with the world guitar videos was very smart cause all your songs are now in my head

[predben]

Woah what happened to your hair!?! And saw you play this today, was amazing!!

[RoxxorBidoune]

Man !! That might be the best riff I've ever heard !! AWESOME !!

And for sure one of the best songs

[RobChappers]

@RoxxorBidoune Thanks mate I really appreciate that ;-)

[kzohf]

I'll say this about your hair: you look a LOT younger with short hair. Like 10-15 years.

[ismailbinumar]

Now its official... I MUST meet you before i die! YOUR EPIC MAN!

[bandslater]

Not much of a commenter to be honest, but i absolutely love that intro riff!!

Its awesome man, keep up the good work!!

[MAC93MAN]

Hey, it remembers me a few Steve Morse Band songs!! For me steve morse is a god and you too!! You're 5 in my heaven: All the iron maiden's guitarists, S Morse and you! your playing and your tone are amazing! And I find you really friendly! Keep on rockin'!! (sorry for my english)

[GHgenius]

intro is so coool - chappers llooks better with short hair

[AlanSturgess]

Hi Rob. It was your demos for Faith which helped me decide on a Faith Jumbo - so here's a query about Wilkinson Vintage guitars. Have you experience of their V100 range (Les Paul style)? If so - any opinions? I've looked at Epiphone versions and am not too impressed. Thanks. Keep frettin'.

[udsahn]

Happened to find this in one of my recommendations on the UTube front page, and WOW! Speechless :). That's freaking awesome!

[betox324]

ten buttheads disliked the video



[wesmatron]

You make it look so easy. I hate you...but only because I respect and admire you too LOL. You're an incredible musician and that axe is like a symbiotic limb in your hands. Great tones and licks just drip from your fingers like the blood from fingers that have played one too many arpeggios.

[Powerage09]

Ho Rob, great tone mate!

How do you think the V6 icon stacks up against the fender classic player 60's tone wise?

Thanks

JAB

[MH50RemoteNation1]

the evil monkey cut off the monkey lord's hair!

[Justasssu]

The ending is so epic.

After awesome shred Rob is just like nothing happened :)

[janerik671]

you are may favorite guitarist

[Guitarshark87]

whats the tuning??

[Ghold125]

You really should put up a more recent recording of this song, with the Ghost Fret, or ML-1 and what ever else. HD FTW

[kyzrvlhlm1995]

that guitar has pickups of win

the song is of epic win

[722deano]

rob wheres the hair man... you look alot like micheal macintye here... which is cool. but its not monkey lord!

[higain2]

hey what scales do you use for the soloing?

greets

[rickyjshiznit]

great playing rob, but please for the love of god dont cut your hair again.

[StStu]

how are you liking the finish on the guitar... I have one exactly like that...it took some getting used to, it almost has like an eggshell feel to it, abit weird..but it sounds great.

[the2menis1]

monkey lord, please bestow upon me the knowledge i need. I'm buying this guitar in 2 days and i really need to know if it can handle being played live with a decent amount of distortion through a loud amp. i just need to know how the pickups handle the loud distortions and whether or not the feedback will eat my face. thanks in advance.

[richard833]

You're the man chappers!!!!

[ainsley008]

hehe haircut!

[rictube11]

Yeahh! This one got me fired up. Love it!!!! Where can I get a cd of this?

Absolutely brilliant

[ivncdo0809]

i'm planning to buy a vintage v6 would you reccomend? it it looks like so damn hot guitar...which one you like most between this and the v100??

[AmethystMusic1]

Been thinking about buying this guitar would you recommend it? It sounds great! Would be one of the guitars I took to a gig, what do you think Lord Monkey?

[17RockAholic]

[Ibik]

[Kastralis]

epic win

[BinaryReaper]

You greatest proformance in my mind. Great work! :D

[Schpudd]

vintage v6? sounds great for a low end

im grabbing a squier strat for exactly that reason, im proving to myself im not a brand snob

[willeng84]

Man that opening lead melody is amazing, I love it, its so rock yet psychedelic in all the right ways. Sounds amazing!

[willeng84]

Man that opening lead melody is amazing, I love it, its so rock yet psychedelic in all the right ways. Sounds amazing!

[ibanezman007]

I have heard you play this with your PRS, and I think it sounds better with humbuckers. But it still sounds good.

[MrBIOSkunk]

Chappers mate, i don't know if I'm right or not, I don't know if anyone else has noticed.

this piece of epicness has just got better, at 2:25 that lick is based around ghostbusters right? IT SOUNDS LIKE BLOODY GHOSTBUTSERS!! AWESOME!!!

[Hemorraghe]

Amazing :-)

[virgult]

Hey Monkey Lord, i'm glad to see that you like Vintage V6's as well. I ordered one just this morning! Can I ask you if you did any modification to the pickups and circuitry? I'm a quite modern-style player, just like you, so I'm really interested in the way you got that thick sound from that strat. Cheers

[brucey39]

Mongo like orange and strat. And Rob song make Mongo happy.

[mcnutty226]
