Rob Chapman working with Thomann now?

Barnezy

The fact people have such strong views about him, good or bad, means he’s been successful. He’s the Jeremy Clarkson of the YouTube guitar scene. Over opinionated, one dimensional views, likes things loud and fast. 

I personally can’t bear to watch any videos with him in anymore, but fair play to him for making himself known and a career from being a niche celebrity.

I wouldn't be aware of this video if it hadn't been for this thread.  Now I have the urge to watch it!

This forum has some weird standards at times: "we're" allowed to say that we'd like to "smash the back doors in" on a young female "star", that seems fine, but any criticism of Chappers is outraged.

Well one is a compliment, the other is a criticism.

Rob is an interesting person to talk to if you get a chance, have met him a couple of times. I also like ML3's and ML1's but not ML2's as Les Pauls suck. 

I want one of those red two humbucker ML3s, they look great.

Neither are okay really.

Chappers is a a hard working bloke and it’s paying off for him, good luck to the guy.

This is a bit ironic seeing as, if you go back to his early vids, he is a self confessed NON Les Paul  and Strat lover/user...

Now I've read all of this flim-flam I'm going to attempt to watch the video.

Well I lasted 20 seconds. He must have stopped saying, "Greetings!" and I used to quite like that.

Interesting his comments on the Harley Benton, comic how much better the prestige sounded in comparison on the video, but then you would expect that.

The HB isn't bad though, amazing what £250 gets you.

Most YouTube channels start off straight and go through (sometimes become) a bit Top Gear. 

Who can blame them?

Nobody's interested in my opinions on RC, although I will say in the few seconds I watched I'm glad he wasn't wearing a kilt.  Or a hat.

Also, that curtain at the back is a bit student bathroom.

Just realised that this is my 100th thread. Weird way to make my century. Turns out there's no turning a Chapman thread.

Anyway, to celebrate, here's a bloke playing bohemian rhapsody with chopsticks.
