    Given his main job is guitar tuition it's not much of a surprise that Chappers is often with people much younger than himself.

    Fair bit of jealousy, ITT.

    Actually, the other guys in his band are about 10 years younger than he is (which is often the case in bands - large age range), as are a lot of the other guys he works with. As for people he hangs around with...Lee/Stick/Jaden/etc are all late 30s to early 40s.

    Not entirely sure where he got "20 years" from. Given that Rob's only a couple of years older than me, that would mean that Loobs mainly sees him hanging around with schoolkids...which is odd.

    He'll end up on a register if he keeps on with it!
    Maturity is realizing that a few bad examples don't represent the whole.

    Seriously, those two are ok and seem like decent chaps. Like someone said, I'd prefer to see more balance between clean and dirty sound demos, but they do the job in an amusing way. Johnny Degarmo - aaarghh!!. Andy at Proguiatars is good and I love my fellow Greek, Phil X (apart from his great guitar skills, does anyone else here think he's got a cracking good voice)? Our own Alex Hutchings is great on the Roland/Boss stuff as is Gundy Keller but of late, I've loved Peter Thorn's demos and Josh Wibaut (Testing123reviews).
    I was in Andertons today and got caught up the madness of Chappers and The Captain filming a shop promo. They even invited me to be in it but I politely declined as I barely register on the Bonkers Scale! I don't know where those guys get their energy from but they did conjure up images of Del Boy and Rodney running through the streets as Batman and Robin.

    I think what you see is what you get and they seem to have genuine enthusiasm and are nice and friendly guys.

    they are just having a bit of fun, there are a ton of deadly serious reviews out there so this is a bit of something different.

    the two things that annoy me though are Chappers horrific clean sounds no matter what amp he uses, and the guitars are often out of tune which is really annoying to listen to
