In my head I can only read this in Bob Mortimer’s “Train Guy” voice

He hadn’t been for his morning campachoochoo before filming

I can only hope Rob gets the gig .... why you may well ask?

Because then we can have the headline:

Chappers is a Pumpkin!

YouTube (and the Internet generally) is all about a battle for people’s attention, and your man Chappie is clearly well ahead on that one.

As this 12-page thread proves!

When did "Grrrrreeeetings!" turn into "wassup dudes?"

And what comes next, "awwwiite geeeezzaaaarrsss?"

Aww come on guys he's alright is Chappers, a bit Brentish but that's okay.

I had a brief listen and he's a lot better at guitar than me.

I think I'm supposed to dislike him, but he has no impact on my life, so why bother. There are far worse people in the world.

I don’t understand why there are 12 pages giving out about someone. Pretty sad people.

It's not 12 pages giving out about someone. 
A lot of it's discussion about the Smashing Pumpkins, past and present, and who might fit in as a guitarist.

He's too opinionated. Morgan will want a "yes man".

Haha I don't know who this Jimmy Morgan is and his so called Mashed Turnips band, but this Chappers fella sure got the chops.

He was great in Unforgiven.

I’d quite like to be able to “murder” Little Wing like that… and if I’d jammed it with Steve Vai you can be *damn* sure I’d be crowbarring that fact into every conversation I possibly could

And as for Jimi’s music touching something inside people, that’s not a million miles away from how I feel about Jimi himself tbh; and let’s face it, if it was Jeff Beck saying it then no-one here would be taking the piss out of him.

Is it ok that I have no idea about who Chappers is?

It's fine, but if you're planning on staying, it might be worth a bit of research.

Do "Ian Elson" as well.  And you'll be needing firm opinions on John Mayer, Joe Bonamassa, shredding versus "feel", dentists, relics, Epiphone prices and bedroom dealers.

If it was Jeff Beck saying it I'd be calling the Vatican to report a miracle.

It’s easy enough to mistake the two. Jeff Beck’s dreadlock opus was some of his best work.

The thing about Chappers is he's a burk, but he's our burk so I'd stand up for him if it came to a ruck.
