How about a playthrough of a new Chimaira song? If you don't have one you can just write it. Maybe write ten or twelve and release an album while you're at it? :^)
This album is a masterpiece. I hear it and think damn, right there with Pantera, Slayer, and Metallica. Chimaira was definitely on the way to legendary with this. You're one of the greatest Rob.
That would make these times so much better! I mean, not like they have a whole lot better to do during quarantine! Everyone else is doing collabs and online "concerts". They would make a major impact if they just dropped a new album in the midst of all this.
This is one of those albums where you can't really pick out any flaws, or any bad songs. It's all just stripped down, intensely brutal, groovy, vitriolic and absolutely perfectly executed. And the fact that Roadrunner didn't promote this album the way it deserved. really cheeses my onions.
Self titled was definitely a under rated masterpiece, the guitar work from rhythms to leads were crushing. Mr. Arnold is and forever will be a groove/shredding machine
Killer Job Rob! You've always been one of my favorite guitarists in one of my all time favorite bands! My old band used to cover a rare song from you guys called Gag! Would love to see a play through of that! 🤘🤘🤘
When I was 18 I was in Iraq and someone introduced me to metal. Metal is the reason I started playing the guitar. Rob is in the top 3 of my favorite guitarists. Absolutely amazing.
OMFG, i really WAS playing it right all of these years!!!!!! Now if i could just sweet talk you into doing the same for lazarus. Learning that solo is the #1 reason I love Drop C so much!!!
Every riff Rob writes turn to gold. You got that midas touch my dude! Would love to see you rip up Coming Alive from the Infection record. Thank you for this incredible era of groove, you truly are a Guitar God. -Benni Blaze
Your solo's are always so tight and fucking awesome. Also love how the mix gets louder in volume, then drops to the original volume level. Recommendation: Comatose. It's gotta be one of my favorite tracks you guys put out 🤘🤘
I love how your solos are beautifully written instead of trying to be the fastest ever. It showcases your playing ability and your writing ability. Every solo is interesting and awesome on their own way. It's what I've loved about your music on top of the groove riffs you guys have.
The reflection is brighter than the sun! Solo on this song crushes the dinosaur spine on Rob’s guitar! Laughing solo on the way out, tribute Anthrax!!!
Rob thank you for sharing this. As someone who saw Chimaira live many times, this is a great fan service. I think I appreciate it even more now having started playing guitar in the years since Chimaira. It's awesome to be able to see your technique on display.
I had tickets to go see Chimaira Christmas in Ohio a few years ago...unfortunately I couldn’t make it because of work but this band is the ONLY band I have ever even thought about traveling states and states away to just see them. Bring the C back!!!
Dude! the half time break at the end is what it's all about. These riffs are so perfect from an album that fell well under the radar! Thanks for putting this together man! I hope for more :D
This has been my favorite album of yours for as long as I've known about you guys. Everyone was seriously on it for this one! Just one banger after another.
Rob, you are still one of my all time favourite guitarists. You inspired me to start playing, and I freaking love your style. Especially your lead playing. A save ourselves play through would be so dope. That whole solo section was epic. Much love
FINALLY!!!!!!! my absolute FAVORITE Chimaira track from my favorite Chimaira album! Now I can finally start learning the parts i couldnt get by ear! Thanks ROB, you da man!
Do one of those collab videos with me! Haha. But as you know, Everything You Love is my favorite off the self titled (maybe of all time) so seeing you shred through that would be the sickest!
You never disappoint!!! Excellent work! I admire all the work you have done with Chimaira, The Elite and The Disaster. Thanks for making the music you make.
Save ourselves and overlooked. The impossibility of Reason album is the only thing in this world I will use the term 'game changer' for. I still remember cranking the self titled album for the first time and thinking... "Rob has just written the modern day and justice for alll" thank you for all your hard work and music. The elite kicks arse too. Cheers from Australia.
U simply cannot watch one of these play through videos and not b inspired to play guitar! And I mean badass Rob Arnold Chimaira inspired guitar ! Simply a masterpiece!!!
Heck yes! Dude, your writing and playing have always been one of my biggest inspirations/influences! Glad to you see you still doing your thing! Hope to see more content like this!
Hey Rob, I have spent the last couple of days watching all of your videos, I had no idea that you had a youtube channel it wasnt till I saw Rob Flynn post about it I never clicked something so fast. I had such a boring job in a supermarket when I was younger and the only thing that got me through those shifts were the chimaira albums. I've not heard these songs in years and I forgot what a masterpiece this album is. I came to nearly every chimaira gig in london back in the day, think i've still got the tickets somewhere will have to dig them out haha. Just wanted to say a thank you for what you've done and continuing doing.
All these have just now been showing up on here for me and i glad since you have reminded why i have lived this band for as long as i have. Definitely making me wanna start pulling out the guitars again.
Please keep making videos for this album. My favorite one right next to impossibility of reason. Hell make videos for a few off each album! Thank you for this Rob!
THE CHIMAIRA GUITAR 😱 Would love to hear you rip through Comatose! I’ve struggled to learn that song by ear, I can’t find good tabs/translation anywhere
i know right!!!! Now that we have Ultimate-guitar.com, Chimaira is no more. I remember spending HOURS slowing this song down to get it note by note lol. Comatose is a BITCH!
Rob - you're truly one of the most underrated guitarists of our generation. And if Chimaira, (as fucking awesome as you all are), doesn't make new music together, that'll be one of the saddest stories in metal. Even if Andols can't be a part of it, ya'll can't deprive us of your amazing talents! Not just anyone can write music as good as you guys. Why stop?
