[@AllanGildea]

Congratulations on the Maltese citizenship - and DELIGHTED that you and Lee will be back together. It genuinely feels like hanging out with old buddies when I watch you two goofing around. May the evaporating coffee mugs be with you both.

[@perro0076]

Yeah, those 2 are like the Top Gear of the guitar world.

[@dominicblaazer9478]

yeah, without the sexism, racism, laddism and rudeness!

[@raytorvalds3699]

Heh, yeah. I strongly disliked Top Gier. Especially Jeremy Clarkson. I'd MUCH rather watch Rob and Lee.

[@Lakenbeer]

​@@dominicblaazer9478okay dominic

[@redbandmedia79]

The ‘Centred & one’ ep helped me during a very tough time and seeing the band live at the boiler room was a special night. Cheers Chappers. So great to watch you grow over all these years

[@jacobvandergriff4028]

That album was all I listened to after my best friend passed away. Something about the songs, sonic textures were so comforting.

[@shanewalton8888]

Hearing that the Captain and Chappers will make videos together warms my heart.

[@jacellis7313]

Hi Rob!! Would love to see you at the guitar show! can’t wait!

[@Joe_Steers]

Looking forward Rob! I’ve recently been rewatching loads of old Captain-Chappers videos and always got me laughing ! 🤘🤘

[@karlhoward2737]

Congratulations on becoming a European again…..brilliant….I wish my island would just apply for membership……love Jersey…but, under strangulation of the UK…..great you are doing some videos at Andertons….really chuffed all good with you….cheers..

[@JManners10]

Jerseys an incredible place to live and visit. But astronomical fees and ridiculous rules are just going to ruin the island over time :(

[@nikkmorse]

Looking forward to the silliness 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@frankcarbery3261]

We love you Rob, keep the light burning bright and stay true to your convictions mate.

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

Choosing a rig your mate will hate pt2 will be great. Sounds like it will give that nostalgia kick of your old challenges where you two are frantically looking around the store for gear.

[@lmcf_gtr]

Very exciting news man! Very much looking forward to seeing you at the show. There's a certain purple T type that needs to say Greetings aswell, perhaps over a coffee 😊

[@nilsonsoma]

Oh my goood, "Pick a Rig Your Mate Will Hate Part 2" is happening hahahah. Thank you so much. I'm soo looking forward to those videos.

[@alexc2680]

Congrats! Thanks for the heads up and after watching this yesterday, I picked up a new ML3 Traditional w/the single coil in the bridge and P90 in the neck. Stoked to see the Captain & Chappers ride again😎

[@anthonycashero7605]

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys. Nice videos. Thanks.

[@DimitrisVoutsas]

always nice to hear you are well Rob

[@davedavem]

Congrats on Maltese citizenship! Kinda thought you already were... Looking forward to the Andertons vids! And the Chapman Standards when they happen. And new Clockwork Wolf/Rob Chapman music! My 5-year-old is always asking to hear Flash Flood, that and Guerilla Radio...

[@randverserence690]

Wow huge updates, congrats the citizenship and all the big updates. will be great to see you back with the boy and Andertons shinnagins. Really looking forward to the new music, a bit sad to see the name change purely because of how cool the name was. Hopefully all up from here for you ^^

[@realityboost4405]

Thanks for the update Chappers…Incredibly exciting times…Can't wait for your upcoming Andertons vids!……FYI, nasty, consistent buzz (not hum) on this vid…I'm sure you can track why at some point…Safe travels back to England and up to Birmingham. 😀

[@RobChappers]

Yeah, sorry about that, the microphone was directly over my laptop. Not a great idea.

[@glynmillward8610]

Looking forward to seeing you at the guitar show again Rob. The Blackcountry rocks👍🎸

[@FenderMarko47]

You have to do the "rig your mate will hate 2".......first one was brilliant.

[@ellleigh1216]

You seem well Rob, it’s lovely to see ❤

[@brymills]

Look forward to the Anderton’s vids, always good fun - can I suggest your rig for Lee includes an Ibanez 6-String Multi-Scale Bass? It’s in stock…

[@rum_bongo]

Congratulations on your citizenship :)Thanks for the Birmingham shout out Rob! World class for classic rock, balti curries and sarcasm. Enjoy the show, trying to see if I can make it down this year amongst family happenings (even though it's a short drive from home).

[@johnwood7879]

Rob, I'm from the US and lived in Derby for two years with my family doing consulting work. I don't recall seeing signs for Narnia. My kids would have loved visiting Narnia. All kidding aside I love your videos. By the way how do you (and I assume your family too) like living in Malta?

[@RobChappers]

Ha ha!! we love living here, like anywhere there are bits that you don’t like about a country for the most part I love it

[@RoderikvanReekum]

Great new video's at Andertons! Classic stuff.. Nice video! from a fellow Dutchman.😅

[@Lez325]

Nice guitars and ageing guitarists - what's not to like ? 😂😂Looking forward to seeing you back with Lee and the guys too

[@mmiller6873]

Look forward to the Anderton vids and the live album when it releases. Have a blast in Manchester at the show.

[@mjkelly7502]

Pickup shootout? I’m wondering what you might think of the VOX V90 pickups on the VOX Bobcat V90?

[@PabloSchred]

I moved to Malta from Scotland last year, getting married in October - Definitely different climate - Best of luck

[@RobChappers]

See you around bro!

[@PabloSchred]

@@RobChappers Will come say hi if I see you around!

[@andyb56york]

Good to see you safe and sound after the accident. Any chance you could reintroduce 9.5/10” radius on the ML1 Pro? I’d have sold almost everything I own to get the cherry red ML1 Pro X with a more curved fretboard.

[@micronesia3797]

My lord, that white tele with gold trim is lovely

[@nilly666]

seeing that Chris Robertson sig behind you makes me want it even more hahaha i need it in my life!!!

[@stevendearden8030]

Looking forward to the videos Rob - safe trip. Birmingham guitar show should be good.

[@johnDBoone]

You should do a video about the best rig for busking. Bring in Ben from August Radio Project and have him bring a couple of his fellow busking friends from the area. These guys do this for a living every day and definitely more for the love of music than the pay. Unique lifestyle for sure. I think it would be a great video. Just an idea.

[@paulmapp8306]

BGS is always good. A short trip for me from Nottingham - not sure if Im there Sat or Sun yet, but ill be there.

[@ChrisBlackTV]

I can't wait to see "The rig your mate will hate, part 2", I love the previous one! Laughed so hard at Lee trying to play anything on that Schecter 😂

[@markmusicman]

I just spoke with someone in Malta on Ham radio , thats the only reason I know where it is!!

[@hoboroadie4623]

There is something mellifluous about the way that "Island Of Malta" rolls off the tongue, I have been randomly saying that for decades. I believe that I should go look at the Atlas, now that I am thinking of it.

[@mobeus84]

Thanku lord. No ofeense to Lees new crew BUT it doesnt have the magic. And man i know u have ur own work but we need more. It WILL help both u guys.

[@nickbellinger1047]

great fun those early vids with leigh .......thanks ol chap

[@sryanuk]

Are you doing demo tunes both days at the guitar show? I’ll be heading down Sunday so hopefully catch you there 👊

[@RobChappers]

Yes I’ll be playing over some backing tracks

[@sryanuk]

@@RobChappers Awesome, see you there mate!

[@andystagger2906]

❤ great brother… have a great time!

[@EasyHeat]

Fantastic Chappers! Good to know you are still on the move & living the dream! You know? I'm still honestly kicking myself a bit for unfortunately missing the opportunity to have crossed paths with you and Bea way back when the Chapman Guitar bus tour came through North Carolina U.S.A. Best of luck to you tho my dude! I genuinely mean that. Anyway, it appears I'm soon about to be gifted a freakin' mint NIB Fractal AxFx FM3 MkII Turbo floor unit via a very close and loving family member?!!! I mean, WTF right?!! How freakin' cool is that?! The initial optional paralysis potential will undoubtably be a very real concern, but honestly? >>>mind explosion

[@mickblizzard1408]

Hi Rob, just being an old pedant 😂 The Birmingham guitar show this year is actually in Shirley, Solihull.😊 Hope to see you there 🤘

[@stevecork7574]

So you’re saying I have two years to save up for my first Chapman guitar?

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Just rewatched the Rig Your Mate Will Hate video. I forgot you had hair, once upon a time, lol! New rig for Lee to hate idea, B.C. Rich Ironbird, Electro Harmonix Talking Machine filter pedal, and maybe an Orange amp, something from the Dark series, I know Lee has never been a big fan of Orange (I think he's a crazy person for that, but to each his own, right?) Anyway, I can't wait to see the vids from this visit. Chappers and the Captain are the best comedy duo the guitar world ever had!

[@tedraven9214]

I want that white golden guitar as a Les Paul bass.

[@parvezsiddiqui3047]

Hi Rob!! I'm coming up to the show on Sunday to see you guys in the morning! Will you be selling any guitars on the stand? (Looking for a Flint Blue DPT!)

[@MrSmitht04]

Captain and Chappers together are the best

[@Dwoollam]

What guitar of yours should I buy, they are on sale at the moment but I like them all. I want something that is a jack of all trades. I have a les Paul and a schecter hellraiser. What should I get?

[@Muppio]

Mate-Hate-rig #2! Yes! Finally!

[@DJDaddy-O]

Huge congrats on the citizenship Rob! 🤘😎🤘

[@Artec619]

Hey Rob! I wonder (and of course not asking for specific details you probably can't go into) what are the main elements that decide to switch manufacturing facilities for Chapman? Originally they were made by WMI and it lasted for a good while and then i think this is the 2nd or 3rd switch after that, which makes me think if it is about quality/QC, costs, availability, etc. Looking forward to hearing the new tunes!

[@RobChappers]

We had a call from our friend Trever Wilkinson, he was recommending a new facility that he had been working with - we made a few prototypes to check them out and were blown away

[@polaritypictures]

So is the standard range made in Korea, indonesia, I know China is out?

[@soundtechmusicschool]

I hope to see you at the weekend dude! Safe travels

[@perro0076]

Yeeees. Review some AMT Bricks that you can get from Italy and that Orange Pedal Baby 😅😅 Well done with your Maltese nationality. We're Brexit refugees in Belgium waiting to do the same in a couple of months.

[@kieronphillips63]

See you in Birmingham chappers 🤘 be down there myself with Grainger Guitars for the full weekend

[@lillycue]

Will they still be a 7 strings in the new range? I want to buy one, but not sure from whom yet

[@ahampel22]

Rig your mate will hate... it has to have the BEETRONICS SWARM pedal.

[@nope3015]

Congrats! I’m trying to find a job in Malta as a yank - any advice chapters?

[@GMRod]

You play Kingdom Rush!!!! My man.

[@scottlevine5030]

For Lee: Super clean amp, 5 different synth pedals, and a midi controller.

[@thesandman775]

Congrats on citizenship, and looking forward to the Andertons collabs!

[@AlbusBand]

I picked Rescind, but it’ll all be great Love youuuuuuu

[@Maxshade7]

Hate rig part 1 you picked a 7 string for Lee, right? If I remember correctly.. I have similar taste to Lee and I would have hated that.. lol!

[@bingetyrant]

Ok can't wait to see who pulls out the Miku pedal? That episode was the funniest thing i had ever seen period

[@denmut]

ML1 body type hot rod. 1 humbucker, hipshot hardtail, volume out of the way. You will sell a lot :)

[@Spidouz]

a bad rig would be an Acoustic 8 strings on a solid state bass amp with a digital multifx board… perfect for the Captain, LOL 😂😅

[@BigJasquach]

Played Kingdom Rush Vengeance 🤟? It’s excellent

[@RobChappers]

Completed them all, wish they would make more in the series

[@elliothowell8373]

is that blue moon to your left?

[@RobChappers]

Yes, Faith were kind enough to send it to me, I absolutely love this guitar, demonstration, coming soon :-)

[@MrDeanelwood]

Is it just me with OCD that's bothered by the wobbly paint line in between wall and ceiling?

[@drishanbanerjee7983]

Hey Rob!

[@snapfinger1]

Birmingham is flush with serious classical musicians. You & Rabea need to get with them & make your masterpiece.

[@teddyboy9116]

Kinell! Have u been to Birmingham lately Rob??? Its more akin to Iraq than England

[@Gloomshimmer]

ah malta. Beautiful. Especially the t4x3s. ;) Good for people who own a business, are influencers and want to sell to the EU. I guess chapman guitars will decrease in price because of this ;)

[@shanewalton8888]

What I need: Green lefty ML3 or V

[@leiscwf]

Big up Tigercub

[@L.Scott_Music]

I still really want you to make a guitar called the Falcon. Of course, it would be a gold top painted black then distressed a little.

[@thoska-music]

Any bass guitar in the pipeline in Chapman Guitars ?

[@RobChappers]

Next year

[@Wagoo]

Maybe you can choose pedals purely based on sniffing their PCBs? I always loved the smell of the 1980's Yamaha factory, lovely aromas when opening their boxes new For Lee's sabotage rig how about giving him a load of synth pedals (Meris Enzo, EHX Synth9 etc), so he's forced out of his comfort zone of blues licks? Always fun times when Chappers and The Captain are making Andertons vids

[@RobChappers]

I guarantee I can do it

[@NoirRobert]

Can you tell the difference Between a Klon and a Klon clone?

[@robspiteri]

Let's GOOOO!

[@JamesMears76]

Grrrrrreatings ❤

[@grievuspwn4g3]

UK was never Schengen Area, hence the passport control at Eurotunnel, etc.

[@dominikruhrig7282]

What is this very nice White t-style thinline with gold Hardware??? 😮

[@J0HNJ0RDAN]

The Maltese MonkeyLord.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Test drive the Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard. Anderton's will have one surely.

[@mattbill3025]

When you go back to andertons do a modded cheap guitar video! They were always my favourite

[@CoolPabloDeTodo]

so this is a new stuff or remake ?

[@boombox2112]

Deserted island there really isn’t a desert island it’s not really a desert if it’s surrounded by water right, lol.

[@lpjbird]

My son-in-law is from Birmingham sounds like you somewhat…lives & is US citizen now… we talk about all the musicians that came from that area…like my home in Detroit…lots of musicians from here also. Good to hear that you’ll be visiting Andertons.

[@jasoncherry4221]

my your ghost frets be extra spooky chappers

[@edhartley6786]

Simple for Lee 7 string multiscale into a Roland jc22

[@TeleTonemonkey]

Mordor is South of Narnia !? Who knew? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gonzopewpew7838]

Also east of dagobah

[@RobChappers]

Just above Knockturn alley

[@geckobaldy]

For a second I thought it was a Sandra Sherman vid

[@terrygoss]

The only thing I have to say re: Chapman Guitars: bring back the DH bass!!!

[@themattitude]

I can't visit Andertons withouth losing (a) sense.

[@MurrayWilliams]

What causes Chapman Guitars to change manufacturers? It seems like Chapman has had to look for new manufacturers on a fairly regular basis.

[@nicholasbateman2213]

sounds like Rob Chapman without breaking the bank

[@tylerparker3024]

I wish i could roll my R's just so i could say grrrrrrrrrrreetings like Rob Chapman lol

[@karmaandkerosene_music]

Do you speak Maltanese now?

[@GabrielKlute]

Choose a headless multi scale guitar for lee!
