So you did Six, what's it gonna take for a heart of it all jam?! 😉

[@KIRILL-KIIERCoRe]

Krasava, Chmaira the best of he best

[@tomvrabel6811]

Rob, Not to sound all cliché, but you and the Chimaira boys are one of the most underrated metal bands of the modern era. I just want you to know that there are still those of us that still appreciate and enjoy all of your song writing and kick ass riffs on a daily basis. So glad you decided to start up this channel and we all look forward to more awesome content! Cheers from beautiful Colorado!

@@RobArnoldWorld 4 years later and this statement still holds true.

[@richiecake5783]

"Six" is one the most beautiful songs I've heard. Powerful and emotional, gentle and agressive, every musician who took part in it can really be proud of that song, it will remain for years and I hope for as long as possible :)

[@samchivers7563]

I agree with you

[@BigDemz]

Got see this LIVE with Mark playing some funky instrument

[@WhatLurksBeneath]

@@BigDemz that would be a theremin he was a playing

[@Derazed85]

Totally agree! It got all the elements that a metal fan should like. Aggression, speed, heaviness, groove and emotion! It´s pretty much the perfect song!

[@Walmartshoez]

the heart of it all is my FAVORITE chimaira song, almost favorite song ever. It has that feel that only amazing musicians can express through music without using words.

[@IanShreds_]

I heard a lot of masterpieces in life but I will always think SIX is the best. It is the epitome of great songwriting and a song having life and breathing. Its truly great. Kudos Rob and Chimaira

[@WesleyAPEX]

If Chimera ever tours again I’ll go see you!

[@Sixfootdig]

Chimaira is a band that has made me feel so much emotion and respect for the music, brilliant, heavy, revolutionary.

[@S133S]

Hey Rob, I hope you understand the magnitude of the effect Chimaira has had over the years on aspiring musicians. I remember jamming "Resurrection" about, what? 12 years ago? and I haven't felt that feeling with any other album and or band, it was so visceral, honest and thoughtful. I am 44 years old, who played in lots of bands in my prime. Alex Skolnick taught me the speed, Dimebag the groove and you the feeling. Thanks for the music, signing to your patron now! PS: My 9 years old loves and is obsessed with Salvation's solo, hope you have time to break it thought now of these days. Cheers!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome to read! And thank you🙏 What's your name? Or, if you sign on as a patron, please mention the comment you made here so that I know it's you!👊

[@ahnusenuse3309]

I swear Chimaira has the best instrumental songs I've ever heard. The Heart Of It All, Six (not really instrumental but kind of), Implements of Destruction and even Samsara. So aprecciated for giving us those songs, and many more too.

[@AmericanMe]

I get super stoked now when these come out. Keep em going!

[@aaroneliprice]

These notes send the snake back into their baskets. Rob is a master Cobra Commander

[@savagevidz907]

Rob. Thank you for explaining and sharing EVERYTHING about the process. The memories shared. Mark on the screen. All of it, was refreshing. Not to mention.. personal, and honest. I like how you tied it all together, and it all. Rob, thank you for being you. Chimaira lives.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

👊😎

[@Zamorackify]

SIX... I was a kid when I first heard Chimaira. And 16years on, still have Chimaira in my playlist. Chris spicuzza left and 2014 was a difficult time for Chimaira. Kudos Rob..get it going! CHIMAIRA \M/ Do or Die.

[@Stormblast77]

"Six" is a fucking MASTERPIECE !!! Honey to my ears.

[@qogoowu1184]

Chimaira accompanied by my high school age, big love ❤️ always love \m/

[@RMoore92]

The emotion and passion you show while playing these songs makes me miss you guys even more, would love to see you guys all play again even know I've probably seen you guys live 10 times, I just can't get enough. Keep up the videos, they're awesome!

[@WesleyAPEX]

I’m glad you’re finally uploading often!

[@bnzboy]

I always thought you and Matt were the coolest guitar duo when I first discovered Chimaira. God I miss you guys and Chimaira!

[@selfsupremacy7816]

its cool that you bring those episodes in such a short time. you need more subscribers

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks! Spread the word!👊

[@psycold]

6 is one of those tracks that both stands on it's own and also fit perfectly with the overall sound of the album.

[@ВсеволодКоробейников-м1ъ]

Rob, it's awesome what you start activity on KZbin, such a great and very high quality content that every Chimaira fan was missing for years. And it gave a little hope for reunion...

[@Flippinloon]

Its surreal watching this, I met you way back in 2010 when i was 16 when you guys toured with Trivium and Whitechapel and now i'm 25, played guitar since then and i can only appreciate the riffs and licks you and matt put together as it had a huge influence on my guitar playing. Even to this day ill jam out your classics, but it honestly has made me the person i am today listening to you guys and similar bands to create this love and passion that I have for metal and guitar. Thanks!!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

So glad to have inspired you!👊🎸

[@dainiuszukauskas3053]

Hi Rob, greetings from Lithuania. I'm so happy to see you back with the staff that you do on your channel. Chimaira is one of may favorite bands and I miss it so much. You are bringing the Chimaira back to life !!! It is so owesome...You are one of may favorite guitar players...I mean it is so good to see you back. Wish you all the best Rob.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome Dainius! 🤘🤘 Cheers to Lithuania!

[@619dar]

Right after watching this Rob, I liked the way that you broke down the parts for the song "Six" and how you had to see the song through the band members views, of how to chance some of the riffs. Plus how you had to repeat some of the parts. It's not easy when you just think like a guitar player and not see how a song goes with drums, bass and also how a vocalist as to fit his parts into a song. But once you know that it feels right, then you know you've got it right.

[@MetalguitarlessonsUK]

This kind of breakdown of a song, how it came together, who wrote each part etc is fascinating, it's the kind of stuff I wish were talked about in interviews more often than the usual cliche stuff you hear asked a million times. Thanks so much Rob, this is such a treat.

[@criscavalera]

Beautiful song Rob. Thanks for the video and greetings from Argentina!

[@mattabplanalp582]

This tone gave the solo a real Santana vibe imo! love it

[@rammsonne]

In the day and age of "computer bands" it's incredibly refreshing to hear a perspective I lived by in my earlier playing years. Very insightful man, Six is a masterpiece!

[@Cloughley22]

Six is my favourite Chimaira song ! Amazing to see it getting played properly........ time to re-learn I think !

[@dancrowther9213]

This is EXACTLY why this lineup needs to happen again! The most sickest band of the 2000s hands down! So glad you’re back and happy man 🤘🏼

[@davidrobinson9364]

That "studder" part you mentioned where Andols double times his high-hat is sick plus Andols and his DBL bass patterns are just incredible.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

For sure!🤘

[@jacksonrobbins2288]

I got into Chimaira wayyyy back when I saw a video for Down Again on channel V, I was hooked straight away. The Self titled album and Resurrection are absolute, all time masterpieces. Really enjoying these videos!

[@FearTheBeers]

Would love to see you break Salvation down like this. Six and salvations riffs and feel pull at my very core. Thank you for this bad ass episode!

[@miyaaaaw]

SIX for me is a full-on journey. It always takes me to places. This rendition was rad! The way you play with feel is mesmerizing! You took me to places I haven't been for sometime. Watching you play is a pleasure, a privilege. Captivating.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Cheers my man! 🙏👊🍻

[@djg9589]

Something that SO many guitarists can’t do is talk intelligently about music but not lose the sense of playing with complete feel. Legend 🤘🏻

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘🙏

[@djg9589]

One thing I’ve not heard you talk about too much (sorry if it’s in the other 2 episodes, I have listened to them whilst driving 😅 - do a podcast 😂) is who your heroes / influences are?

[@rogerklotz9645]

I just blasted six on my stereo right after episode #2. very cool Rob!

[@krammet]

I dig this "unplugged" version!!

[@Inverted1100]

Six is such an amazing song. There’s so many ppl in this world that need to hear beautiful music like that. I just couldn’t get enough of it and still to this day. Always been a huge fan since way back. Still makes me sad when thinking that the band isn’t around anymore. You guys meant so much to me and of course still do. I have one tattoo on me, and it’s the chaos symbol. Truly means a lot to me. Still love you guys and hope one day, the beast will reunite again, for another show.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

👊

[@WAQL0RD]

Six is such an amazing song! It is powerfully evocative to me. It's on a whole other level that I wish would be more common in music. But if that were so, then I guess it wouldn't be quite as special as it is, haha. Thanks for this Rob, you're the man!

[@iguessillsuffer]

A guitar with the artwork of one of my top 5 albums ever! Yes!

[@josephduesofficial]

Thank you for this man. You are as I said before, a huge inspiration to me!

[@matttaylor1449]

Opens the vid with my favorite all time Chimaira song. Love that album.

[@eternalAku]

Amazing episode Rob! Now tell us about the process behind The Heart Of It All, it's a masterpiece :)

[@justinanton8814]

My dad and I lose our minds when six comes on the shuffle. You guys really did a fantastic job with that song. I also wanted to say I think you hit the nail right on the head with the songwriting process. It's good to keep an open mind about your own stuff. I was in a not so successful (mostly due to lack of luck) band with my best buddies and while we never recorded anything concrete or professional we had an absolute blast playing a few shows around Chicago. Bouncing ideas musically is easily one of my favorite hobbies. Keep this content coming man, you're doing fucking awesome. Suggestion: maybe get Andols on a video call? That'd be dope. I know he's recluse now but maybe you'll hit a stroke of luck! 🤘

[@miguelangelsmith7846]

Always wondered why andols got a song writing credit for this one! Cool. What is also cool is that guitar! 🤘💪

[@vernonleemonii3334]

Incredible writing and results from you guys! Please write more music together! The world needs it!

[@TyRich82]

Six is such an inspiring work of art. I can't get enough of your channel. Keep it up Rob 🤘

[@KaoswareMetal]

Excellent points! Especially about working transition between song parts with other musicians. This is always a struggle for me when I'm writing alone

[@reyespizano6238]

My favorite Chimaria song! Love the episodes coming out, keep them coming Rob. Also I would pay whatever to own that guitar right there! 👍

[@robcny74]

Omg man .. for the first 6 min I completely zoned out , that is the one song I've always wanted to learn, and to hear it done clean , makes me want to learn it even more ...🤘🤘🤘🤘

Mission accomplished! 🤘

[@robcny74]

@@RobArnoldWorld psst...... heart of it all ...... just saying ..🙄

[@simondaydreamer9221]

Amazing episode, that Six rendition at the beginning was beautiful, found myself closing my eyes and space out for a bit.. Hearing about all the songwriting process was so interesting!! I would absolutely love to have that same episode about The Heart Of It All now haha ;) Oh and thank you for putting those episodes out so quickly!! It's becoming the youtube show that I am the most stoked on! You rock Rob

[@MetalFreak2]

Thanks for the insights man. I love videos like this where people actually talk through the writing process. Six is easily in my top 5. I love the back and forth between the crushingly heavy bits and the melodic lead. Love these vids man. Maybe Lazarus next?

[@DrumeRGray]

A good friend of mine introduced me to Chimaira right after the Resurrection album came out and the first song he showed me was SIX. To this day it is still my all time favorite Chimaira song. Unfortunately he passed away back in early August but my friends and I played an acoustic cover of SIX at his service.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🙏

[@CosminPerisan]

I get goosebumps from these riffs. Epic stuff! Thanks for the recomandation, Rob! 🤟🔥

[@KeithDaviesMusic]

Your song writing skills are truly amazing. I always loved getting excited for a new Chimaira album and then sitting down and just becoming mesmerised by what I heard! I really hope that one day another album will arise that features the original line up or as much of that line up as possible. You’re all really talented at what you do and I would kill to have half the talent that you guys have. These videos of yours are great and thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks so much Keith! All of that is so awesome to hear man. 👊 And good luck with your music as well!🤘

[@SEugeniusz]

Sounds bad ass without distortion. I'd love to hear you do this on a strat in he neck pickup with a bluesy tone!

I will never forget hearing this song for the very first time. I was in a rental car due to a recent accident the day I got this cd and I’m pretty sure I blew the speakers out in it!! One of my all time favorite songs and I listen to it almost daily!! 🤘

[@mikeflanders1292]

God damn. You're a beast. That intro was killer man. Tough to pull off a song like that in one take. You deserve mucho respect from every guitarist

[@619dar]

So just to finish off. I hope to see maybe some more video's like this. Bring it on Ep.04. \m/

[@Andro-d1d]

That short solo in six is my all time favourite, its like the old slash and hammett solos that are like mini songs in solo form. Would love to see how you came up with others

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks dude that's rad!👊

[@zwb2008]

Can you do an episode on using power chords and shapes to create riffs? I love your use of simple power chords and palm muting that take simple progressions and turn them into badass riffs

[@Daddy53751]

This was VERY cool. I think it was Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth genius) who said that he kind of saved riffs and ideas, and then almost used them as jigsaw puzzle pieces in a way, to build songs. I’ve never tried that for writing, but sure seems like a heck of an idea.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I agree on all accounts! What Michael said, and about him being a genius!

[@Hordak069]

it's so interesting to hear how the songwriting of chimaira worked. Thank you for sharing this with us. For me as a fan of the first hour that's just wonderful.

[@marathonxman]

YES! Six is one of my all time favorite Chimaira songs and one of the best metal songs of the 2000s. I’ve always wondered how a song with so many parts and feels that bordered the 10 minute mark never got stale, never lost listener interest, and never really repeated too much. Finally the answers! Thank you for this awesome glimpse into the making of a masterpiece!

[@jonathananderson5135]

I love that guitar. In the intro, there's a clip of you with what looks like a rack of your guitars, I for one hope that means we'll get a tour of the collection at some point. Another idea for future episodes: I'm a big fan of the band Demon Hunter, and their fan club The Blessed Resistance has been doing a podcast where a couple of the members go album by album and talk about the history of the band. I know Mark did those blogs a few years ago (which I can't seem to find now), so he may not be interested in going that in depth again, but I'd be fascinated to hear from the other band members, particularly about Pass Out or Self-Titled because we don't have documentaries about those.

[@gleny20]

Six has your best guitar work in my opinion. I get goosebumps everytime I listen to it. I remember the first time I heard it, I was like " holy fuck, what did I just hear?", And I must've listened to it ten times it a row, so I could take it all in! 🤘🤘🤘🍻
