Well, Rob Chapman has stepped up the audio and video quality to a whole new level. This is pro stuff from the "amateur" Youtuber and seriously impressive.
The hammy acting in the video aside (at this level he needs a screenwriter and director), the production is right up with "pro" stuff and he's clearly targeting the big money pool of the US by reinventing himself into a more mainstream dirty blues rock vibe as opposed to the metalhead, T-shirt wearing, short wearing dude niche he has inhabited to date.
The song is pretty good, great sounding guitars and excellent production.
I like it.

Fair play to him. He's in the music industry and has a guitar company.
This is also not my cup of tea. Not a fan of the vocals/lyrics. This might also be why I dislike the way Chapman / the guitar company names their guitars, pickups, and the descriptions they use. Reminds me of 12/13 year old me playing AD&D. Something lacking maturity.
But, as a balance, I'll repeat that he has a lot of talent and I'd love to have his job.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I wonder if it's the accent? Chappers is trying hard to sound American but every now and then his English accent slips out and sounds weird. I don't know Volbeat but I know they're Danish.
I noticed the same thing on the Martin Miller/Andy Timmons clip of "Still Got The Blues" the other day - I liked Miller's singing but occasionally he gets a bit Germanic.
£2.99 on iTunes is fair though
