I watched your video & it made me sad, you’ve misrepresented and spun so much about me & my businesses.
Yes there are areas of my business I wish I could have done differently and no I am not perfect, but I wish you’d just asked for an interview rather than sticking the knife in days before Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you
Chris Holmes Come on man... don’t be like that, if we met I’m sure you would feel completely different. Happy Christmas all the same.
YMAG Studios I should thank him? Ha ha ha ha... fuck me man, I need to stop - I just need to step away from E-Bullies.
In fact yes, this has taught me something.
YMAG Studios This is the point... I have given to charity, I have given away guitars, but I do it in private and I reserve my right to keep charity a personal thing.
I refuse to be pushed or bullied into donating charitably in public, I stopped doing that years ago when it resulted in threats and worse because I donated to “The wrong charity’s”
I don’t need to prove myself to people I don’t know, I’m a good person and my conscience is entirely clean.
Rob Chapman Criticism isn’t bullying, you’ve done shitty things, own up to it instead of playing victim.
I can't believe he's even responding to this. Are guitarists so bored now that they feel the need to criticize reasonably innocent people in matters of which neither have anything to do with themselves and/or they don't fully understand? The guitar community absolutely has a nasty fair share of toxic melodrama and it's both hilarious and sad to witness.
I love that Rob Chapman actually watched you give a guitar to a kid who then said “thanks Rob” after you exposed him. Subscribed
damn dude.. subscribed!
DØVYDAS just want you to know you’re the best thing out of the CZcams music scene. Keep doing what you’re doing, you just got a new sub.
he dropped a bomb on Chapman thats for sure
Yup
Man, this video went to another level when you showed the financial statements. I'm not only a musician but also a certified accountant and that financial statements said it all.
This is real criticism, not only the average ranting and raving, nice job.
Not surprised his wife didn't touch this one. You should have broken it down for further proof that this guy is a morally bankrupt scam artist.
Good for you for not being bullied in to silence on this. Much respect, KDH!
This video is SIZE.
ha ha ha ha ha
Arin Kambitsis haha. The dictionary still defines size as ‘how big something is’. But the example now reads: ‘The size of Rob Chapman’s massive ego has proved impossible to measure’.
fo sho!
Where does the "Size" meme come from?
@@gregtuna49 watch the video
Idk if you'll see this KDH, but ignore all these keyboard warriors, You did the right thing making this video, the truth needs to be heard.
The truth _(with a whole lotta editorial license woven in)_
That was such a personal vendetta filled with bad logic and irrational reasoning. People are dumb as shit to blind-sheep-follow a person like the OP of this video.. can you not separate what is done objectively from what isn't lolll smh
@@stubkarthere's 'editor' issues on social media? OMG.
...what's an editor?
Lol
Really? How so? What "truth" needed to be told by the guy making this video? The truth that he needs more clicks and subs? Wow.
The amount of times Rob has, even up until now, asked for money while making video after video about buying stuff is astounding. Guy he even has a video about buying stuff while drunk. Do people not see the irony?
Didn't know this stuff until now but didn't like Rob's attitude on the Andertons vids. I couldn't put my finger on what it was but I just thought he stunk. Now I know why. He wants other people's money and won't work for it. Go fund your ass Rob. At $1 a shot, you'll be rich in no time.
@Castle Anthrax ; - P exactly! I remember one video, where they were supposed to be reviewing small, 1 watt bedroom amps. Lee was good and knowledgeable, but Rob just kept going on and on about how stupid it is to play quiet, and how he can't get used to it. He was like a kid. Like, dude..it's a video about bedroom amps! Suck it up for one video.
*LOADSAMONEY* .. Only, its OURS!
Like politicians they forget WHO pays them and their fancy lifestyle, and that ultimately, THEY work for US
Accountability had to some SOMEtime @Rob Chapman !
@@RByrne I remember this, and I remember also being annoyed. His solution was just to say “Kemper”. Not everyone can afford to buy a $2000+ piece of gear to be able to play guitar quietly in their bedrooms.
Robs the DSP of the guitar community
I don’t know man, I’m no psychologist but that whole charity thing _screams_ narcissistic personality disorder.
Did you happen to catch one of his video thumbnails that said "More Me"? Definitely NPD.
correct! hes a pathological narcissist
KDH is NPD not Chapman. ya'll cancel culture peeps are a horror to everyone including the innocent
You're right, you're no psychologist, just another random dude who's bought into this decade's pop psy fad, NPD
@@sinane.y pop? I listen to post hardcore lol
isn't it immensely obvious that the guitars to "orphans" thing was total bollocks?
Orphanages haven't existed in the UK for a long time. What we have is care homes, and care homes aren't short of physical items to entertain kids like games consoles and musical instruments. What they are short of is support & nurture from role models and adults the kids admire and find inspiring.
This is perfect thing for someone like Rob , who is both a musician and proprietor of a Guitar brand to fulfil.
He could have done a tour of care homes, doing music workshops or inviting children in care from all around the country to travel to visit his company/Anderton's , have a lesson and pickup a guitar over there.
The whole thing was phoney self promotion from the very outset and Rob has no idea what an orphanage even is.
Pretty certain the U.S. doesn't have orphanages either, so I'm pretty sure he was just completely full of shit.
May not be Orphanages; but I'm just glad to see Hannah the Orphan got given a guitar in this video. Her face lit up; thankfully KDH followed through for this poor orphan instead of Rob....
@X D Taking advantage of people's ignorance. That's when the ignorant jump up in defense. Useful idiots. They tend to be fascists in every aspect of life, especially in the political realm.
I'm giving 2400 worth to OrPhAnAgeS
This man must never be allowed to rub off on younger folk. He's Baligerant and cocky and not the shining beacon of morality you want near impressionable youngsters.
Rob never realised that Andertons is popular despite rob, not because of rob lol
I'd prefer it if they got rid of him.
Benji's Boxing Channel and they should ditch that unbearable “GRRRRREEETINGS!!” at the beginning. 😬
Rob played a huge part in building the Andertons brand as well as his own. Unfortunately, as the businesses grew, so did his ego.
Benji's Boxing Channel to be fair they kinda are. He's not in videos anywhere near as much as he used to be and they're pushing more of people like Pete who is a much better player and doesn't have an unbearably lame sense of humour like Mr Chapman does. Wouldn't be surprised if they just drop him completely this year given the recent shit storm. Andertons won't want him tainting their reputation
Hes the biggest part of the success of the Andertons CZcams channel. Thats a fact. Fucking deal with it.
I always come back to this video because it makes me laugh so hard. Chappers - a fully grown man who comes up with an idea then when everyone says it’s stupid claims he was joking. Like what 10 year olds do.
The yawning to look casual was a joke too.
You mean like injecting chlorine against Covid? 😂
@@poulwinther You mean that's nOT the cure??? Oh yeah, is it one mask, no mask, 2 masks, or no more masks??heheheheh
@@michaels5166 if you ever thought masks were a cure.. you can probably blame yourself for every problem you've had in life.
@@davidfaustino4476 If you could read you dimwit,and comprehend,i was being sarcastic,not a genius. Fauci said no mask,1 mask,2 and then no more masks,stooooooooooooooooooooopid..Blame that you came out of your mOmma's azz backwards on why you're so stooopid..Now if i spend any more time explaining something so simple to you,that will be a waste.Now feel free to get off my nuts and continue playing with your Daddy's instead..The real question is if there's a cure for you being such a dumdum..
Just sat and watched this in its entirety again... hilarious stuff 😂
Snake Oil is my fav part.
Your fucking cringe...
@@Blindashitmetalasfuck his cringe what?
Well he's right about at least one thing, Rob seems to have an Army of keyboard warriors at his disposal.
But to someone on the outside who cares nothing for either of these people, you're just a keyboard warrior on the other side....
Just your standard, dumb warrior who doesn't realize he's just like the other guys on the other side of the battlefield-- a story as old as time.
And you are? Defending a sun glasses wearing troll who didn’t achieved anything in his live
@@musicman717 Actually just illustrating the fact that even a broken clock is right twice a day, although in this case it was only once. Sunglass dude proved himself to be a vindictive sponge, yet my observation gets clearer by the comment.
@@davecarsley8773 I don't care either way just a simple observation that slapped both of them in an equal way. Nothing to write home about... I like your tone BTW.
@Mister Problematic I'm sure there is new developments, to be honest I was hoping his hit piece on Glenn would gather some gravity. Chapman is just so not on my radar, Thanks for the heads up though, i'll check it out, :)
Kid seems like he’s sticking to the facts to me. Great work kid. I subbed
He's presented fragments... not the whole story. The accounts stuff is just guff... he's clearly not an accountant! Not defending Rob, just pointing out that looking serious when talking to camera doesn't make you right.
I did too. It’s a good video
me too. Rob BELLEND criticised his guitar playing but he seems bloody good to me.
@@cosmicsman666 Rob 'shit dick' Chapman is a total psychopath! I mean he is literally sociopathic in the way he is acting at the minute. The arrogance and self importance and just general unawareness of what a prick he is STILL being blows my mind. And he is a shit guitar player. Rob has to eat shit on this one. Wanker
@@cosmicsman666 I wouldn't spit on him if you paid me. Dont let Rob FUCKSTICK get to you. The whole thing is just so size
Excellent video! Well thought out and researched and put together to get the story across. Brave for coming out with this and exposing lies.
I feel bad for any of his “fans” who can’t critically look at someone and just follow blindly. It’s a sign of a weak mind
Most of his fans are 12 year old boys who have by now grown up and moved on. I’ve been attacked by some of his fanboys for critique of his “reviews” which are more about him than the products he reviews particularly badly. I’ve found them easy to despatch. Thankfully Andertons appear to have seen the light and we are hearing Less from “Chappers”
Amen
Duuuuh.
Døvydas helped clear things up. I'm here to apologize for not believing you sir. Rob has acted very immature, as have his followers, myself included. Again very sorry for anyone who said anything disrespectful.
Christian Izworski, u deserve a lot of respect, the difference between a wise man and a proud man is a wise man can have his mind changed by evidence and facts. Hopefully more chapman followers are wise not proud...
Good job fellow vic
This is actually pretty interesting. Saw the Chapman video, and didn't know what the hell was going on. Dovydas' video brought me to speed., and here. Sorry you're being unfairly ganged up on for "daring" to criticize someone.
HOW DARE SOMEONE CRITICIZE THE HOLY ROB CHAPMAN WHO CAN DO NO WRONG.....!!!!!!!
I'm going in reverse too to find out what the hell was going on. Now to watch Dovy's video and go in chronological order.
Honestly, if you poke the bear, expect it to react. Rob has no control over his fans or what they say and do. How can people not know this. Btw, the bear is not Rob. Use your brain.
Old Guy's Guitar Vlog agreed - Rob is in fact now the *bare* because KDH called out his Emperor’s New Clothes.
Retailers paying upfront and waiting for months means Chapman stock is clearly made to order!
Quality issues from an Indonesian factory ... what a surprise.
Chapman just puts his name on junk made in Indonesia. He does not lay down his own money. There is no QC done between the Indonesian factory and the retailer/end consumer. Rabea and the other guys used to do the QC from the 'world music' guitars that were made in Korea.
I would not do business with anyone who expects me do buy to order and wait for months for a product that has no support for the retailer/end consumer.
When the economy/music retail gets tighter you will see Chinese made Chapman guitars straight from the factory ... I will stack a huge wager on that!
Chapman is making money so he could care less ... the easiest thing to do is *NOT* buy his junk when you can get better guitars for the same money from other companies ...
*I have always voted with my wallet!*
I love your channel dude, so cool to see someone calling out bullshit in this obnoxious guitar community
So many people need to be punched really hard in the jaw, and this guy is at the top of the list.
Please keep making these videos! The truth will always come out because of people like you. Never be afraid to speak up! Thank you for shedding light on these things, I've considered buying a Chapman guitar before and I'm sure glad I didn't risk getting crap and having to return it, wasting time and money in the process.
Don't worry Legolas, the Riders of Rohan are here (albeit a little late), but we are here to drive away the mindless orcs conjured by the cunning wizard Chapuman!
Hahahaha
Lol, I come from dovydas too, but I think this comment makes us sound a little bit like mindless drones too :p
Legolas? I'm seeing "fresh off the bus" Axl....
Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east.
This is hilarious
If all I'd seen was Rob's response video, I would never have guessed that the video he was responding to was of such high quality. You were very fair to him here, but in his response he was not fair to you at all. Thank you for this. I don't often like videos but I have liked this one. Glad that other CZcamsrs have gotten behind you here as well. Here's hoping that you have more likes than dislikes here eventually. This video deserves that.
you don't often see quality investigative journalism...someone should give this kid a job.
Wait, he even responded to this? How he managed the cold hard evidente?
@@0000song0000if someone doesn't want to believe something, they won't. Even if the evidence is right there in front of them. Their mental weakness will cause them to make endless excuses and rationalize even the hardest evidence away into the aether.
Solid video. Please never cave to bullies again. I know from experience that it can be difficult but stay strong man and keep it up.
This video is the first I’ve ever watched on your channel, and even though I didn’t mention it at the time, I wanted to add my 2 cents to this; it’s pretty low that Chapman would dare take the spotlight from ALS, when ALS is the reason that incredibly talented musicians such as Jason Becker can’t play guitar anymore.
He really did criticise your guitar playing? God damn it.
Keep doing your thing KDH!
hope you’re ok bro 👊 this video is awesome. don’t be threatened by the man
Kdh is like the momma max of the guitar world. Bringing what's done in the shadows to the light. Well done, mate
Pffft
He is a great example of 'when the ego blocks the view for reality'
This is a great video. Rob always rubbed me the wrong way even from back in 2012-2013 when I first started watching the Andertons videos. I couldn’t put my finger on it then, but he had that douche-y vibe. You just did the research that I did not care enough to do. Also, glad Lee is doing more videos with others now (I’m not 100% on him either, but he doesn’t give me as much of a bad vibe).
Douche-y Vibe. A great name for the upcoming line of Chapman amplifiers.
@@inquisitor4635 Hahahahahaha that was straight fire mate
I've met Lee on a few occasions in the shop and the guy is a lovely bloke, always warm and welcoming. But swings and roundabouts
@@inquisitor4635 Or maybe his very own Floyd Rose tremolo rip-off: "Rob Chapman, Douche-y-Vibe(tm) floating tremolo".
I was just about to say this, ever since I was a kid looking at gear reviews and such Chapman rubbed me the wrong way. I never liked him and never will.
This guy seriously sent his entire audience of years to a small channel. On top of all that his entire argument is invalid, all he said she said trash. False advertising when he says “no ones paid me” when he owns the company. CSGO Gambling fiasco all over again... what happened to them?
Who cares? It's his business. When you build your business you can do with it as you please.
@@guitarplayer2846 yeah and you have to accept the repercussions of that
He thought he could squash it and appease his ego, when a smart person would just have ignored it and moved on. He threatens lawyers, but then is totally silent because as said, any lawyer would look at the evidence and tell him to find another lawyer and stop bothering them.
nail on the head with the CSGO comment. This is the equivalent of the HonorTheCall video
I'm really delving into your channel and it's interesting that all the things that sorta have rubbed me the wrong way but I never had a good reason, or never could put into words how or why seem to get covered. It's very validating, honestly.
I no joke wanna run into Rob in real life and use the term “size”, and when he says “oh you know about my “size” post?” I’ll just be like “what are you talking about? People have been using “size” like that for decades.” Just to mess with his mind.
Thanks for allowing DOVY to help you spread the word or I never would of seen this video
Keep doing what you are doing and challenging people, its healthy some people just don't wanna hear it
Yeah he "allow" him. Really you still can 't find when something is advertising or a click bait?
Blek Metal okay dude, straight up no idea what you are saying here? Are you saying I can’t identify when a video is click bait or I can? Please elaborate.
@@compaq442879 I'm saying that the meaning of this video is advertising the Kdh channel and trying to steal subs from other channels (especially Chapman) . Except the mistake Rob did in 2014 the other events that Kdh mentioned are quite suspicious. Yesterday I watched Kdh channel he is clear a Chapman ex- fanboy who for a strange reason started slandering him. I mean he reviewed an old Chapman Ml and it's improved version and found stupid reasons to descalate the model.
Blek Metal okay, I don’t really believe that to be the case, he is a ex-Chapman fan, he says that in the video, I’m not sure so of your other points, I don’t think he is trying to steal subs considering his video was made private about a week after it went up due to level of abuse from robs fan base, the point this video proved some points about Rob people where thinking. And off the back of that, Rob didn’t everything he said he would and even endorsed violence against him. Thats what people are taking issue with, the video made some good points and some bad points, and some of it was in poor taste but it’s the response to the video everyone has taken an issue with and the toxicity from robs fan base to a tiny channel making a video about him. Robs ego meant he couldn’t just let it sit and had to respond.
@@compaq442879, I would have "endorsed violence against him" too if he tried to involve himself in my business. Hopefully, KDH (King Dick Head) learned his lesson and will stop slandering people that he doesn't know, never met, and didn'r do business with.
Why is King Dick Head inserting himself in Rob Chapman's business? He's trying to take Chapman's subscribers.
The fact that you actually gave away a guitar and he got credit. That's amazing. These are really good.
I see Rob’s back to rattling the charity tin again. He has a Kickstarter to raise 10k to record his Clockwork Wolf & Co. album, because apparently they have no money to record it (despite being signed to a label 🤷🏻♂️). Still, he has money to buy himself a 3k resonator guitar and just the other day he posted a video about buying a couple of hand-wired Bad Cat amp heads at about 2.5k a pop, so, you know, go figure.
This doesn’t seem to have cause as much furore as what I’ll refer to as ‘The Dorje Fiasco’ but that’s probably because hardly anyone watches his channel now 😂
Fools and their money are easily parted. Dorje and Toska are over, Clockwork Wolf quickly lost Mikey Demus (who I suspect had been lured in somehow), Chappers is a has-been... has he actually managed to raise much cash?
@@richardharrold9736 what does Toska have to do with this?
@@rocketPower047 Toska was also three quarters of Dorje, and while there has been no official announcement of the demise of Dorje, Toska said they were calling it a day...
@@richardharrold9736 I always thought it was rabeas way to get away from Rob lol

Out of interest how low would @RobChampman 's view count have to fall / how high would KDH's have to be, before you reconsider?
I love it man. Your videos are great, keep em comin! Thanks
2 years later and they still boils my piss because he seemed learn nothing. I remember getting into rather nasty argument with his wife Nat when asked if he had the vocal lesson. She really snidely told us (me & some others commenters) that we should mind our business and it was incredibly rude to ask how he spent the money. Clearly remember her saying would you ask a friend you gave birthday money to what they bought!.....yes it's completely normal.
@TheBoss0Time True but….the whole thing was set up by his wife specifically to get a vocal lesson for his birthday, along with a card with the names of the people who donated and a video of Rob receiving the gift. None of this happened and it was all radio silence, so it’s a bit rich for her now to tell people that it’s none of their business how he spent the money.
@TheBoss0Time A grown adult asking for birthday money?
I found I prefer Andertons’ video when there’s is no Rob especially for new guitar review ones. Lee and Pete would try to explore every sound of the new guitar to let viewer who is interested in the guitar like me to know it better. But Rob at most times would only try the guitar in one or two positions and then going to his shredding routines. We are going to see the video for the products, not to see Rob’s show off!
KDH - For many years now I have been sick of Rob Chapman. I actually used to enjoy the early Andertons video like the challenges they did etc. It was something a bit different and fun, but recent ones have just been blatant adverts for Chapman guitars (see the blindfold video where Rob has to guess the country of origin of telecaster type guitars while blindfolded and claims the Chapman ML-3 felt like a custom shop fender and it was the best one he played, then acted all surprised when it was revealed it was the Chapman and went on to swear he didn’t realise that’s what he was playing). His ego and the relentless pushing of his brand on Andertons really went against the grain for most people. For me I also just got sick of seeing his face pop up on virtually any guitar/gear related video I searched, as if he’s some sort of authority on all things MI related. Anyway, just my opinion.
The turning point for me was the whole Dorje GoFundMe fiasco and the subsequent purchase of a super expensive PRS. I remember this clearly at the time - they were asking for 20k from their fans to replace stolen equipment. That begging video was deleted by Rob as he got A LOT of hate on it. So in typical Rob fashion it’s easier to just sweep things under the carpet, right? I also remember Rabea getting involved and him saying that they would use the mo ye to replace the equipment and donate whatever was left to charity. There was never any further word on which charity this money went to.
Then less than a week later, Rob purchases a 5k PRS and shows it off to his fans. I’d like to point out a small thing you missed on your video. Initially Rob never mentioned anything to do with this being for his son, it wasn’t until the backlash that he said he’d purchased it as a future 18th birthday gift for his boy. Now....Rob can buy himself or his son whatever he likes, that’s his business, but what he doesn’t seem to get into his head was the timing of it and showing it off a mere week after begging for 20 grand. Even in his response to you he said ‘Yeah I bought a PRS, it’s a great guitar.’ No Rob, that’s not the issue, nobody is bashing you for buying a guitar mate, it was the timing of the purchase and reveal. I honestly thing he needs to employ a really good PR person to advise him and oversee what he’s putting out because he is clearly weak here.
Other things about him that have come out over the past few weeks seem to align with my own suspicions of the guy, formulated from years of seeing his various interactions. Good on you for having the balls to speak out and I think it carries more weight the fact you admitted you were a fan of his originally and even own two of his guitars. Good luck to you mate and keep playing!
I'm not gonna read that.
😂 Sorry
Excellent post. I didn’t realise the PRS only turned into a precious gift for his son (cue cellos and a Dawson’s Creek landscape panoramic) after he’d already shown it off and received negativity. It seems to me that Chapman cynically plays on the emotions of his viewers at every turn. It’s quite a repulsive trait.
M R Yup, the infamous begging for 17.5k video was deleted and the whole event was neatly swept under the carpet, without so much as even a thank you to those that had donated and raised nearly 8k (or thereabouts). Robs next move was to show off his brand new PRS on his Instagram - This inevitably brought about negative comments based on the events of the previous week - the next move from Rob was to reveal the guitar on CZcams, claiming it was bought for his son. Basically an attempt to turn the tables on the negative comments as the guitar apparently wasn’t actually for him, but a future 18th birthday gift for his son. Awwww how sweet. Bollocks.
Stuart Williamson bollocks indeed. 😡
I personally HATE these f'in "go fund me" donation debacles. I would never donate to individuals, as it just reeks of screwing people. If Rob did do that, then shame on him.
There are certainly worthwhile Crowdfunds - @Rob Chapman is NOT among them!!
I just want to say that sometimes things actually work out. My uncle has ALS. He has been gotten worse and worse. Recently my mother, his sister, asked me to sign a petition to get a new drug approved for use in patients that have nothing to lose. I didn't think it would work. It did. The drug is not FDA approved but is allowed to be given to people who have nothing to lose (at least from what I understand). It doesn't fix it but it really slows the progression. Very nice to see something work out.
Here to change that like/dislike ratio. You've got a new sub, man.
I'm glad to see Hannah the Orphan got given a guitar. Her face lit up; good for her. Keep at it Hannah.. practice makes perfect..
I've seen this video a lot of times, I really love what you did here. I think the best thing about your video is that the hate you got proves your point about engagement levels. For the audience he has and the amount of subscribers you didn't get a lot of hate. I mean the like to dislike ratio is almost 1:1 but for a channel his size you almost didn't get any hate at all.
New fan here. You earned my sub. On a side note, I'm glad to see that Glenn did become more transparent about what's a sponsor and what's not.
i have stopped watching rob from quite sometime. I think he just got lucky with youtube. He also hasnt grown as a player. I mean look at Lee, he improved quite a lot and yet rob still keeps playing the same riff over and over again.
Lee and Pete are the reason I watch andertons videos tbh I love their dynamic and Lee's improvement inspires me to practice every single day. Chappers isn't bad at what he does play, but him playing the same thing over and over is grating on the ears.
Mate that had me in bits when you gave the guitar away 'thank you Rob', I support you 100% for making this video
I'm new to your channel and just stumbled across this old video. Just wanted to say that attacking a subject like this that is negative in nature is a tough thing to do, but you kept it entertaining and light hearted in nature enough where I don't consider you being a hater at all. It's a very tough balancing act, and takes some balls since you know people will come after you for making the video. Cheers!
Every now and then, I revisit this to bask in the comfort that sometimes, right overcomes might, that this video proved.
This is so well done, thank you for making this available again. Please don't let some trolls deter you from continuing this series. I wish I had seen the one on Glenn, too.
glenn like glenn fricker?
As a community, this toxicity needs to be called as it is. Music is an art and should be uplifting, not filled with scum that are only in it for the $$$. Anyone blind to see Rob's behavior has delusions of grandeur. Thank you KDH for stepping to the plate.
I don’t think you understand what delusions of grandeur are. It makes absolutely no sense to say that being blind to someone else’s behavior indicates that you irrationally think you are greater than others.
@@Mattiedamacdaddy good on ya. capitalism can kill art, sadly,IMO
@@Mattiedamacdaddy Thanks for doing this. Semantics aren't respected, but communication is important, and our ability to engage in discourse in the modem age is severely limited by the illiteracy of our compatriots.
@@aaronwebb1548you are lower than the meanest cockroach.
I guess you haven't gotten the memo. Music is a _business_ and has been for a very long time now. Nearly everything you've ever heard before the advent of MP3s and CZcams was a business decision, plain and simple. Record labels and music gear companies have only ever been in it for the money.
There was a point in time when Rob's band Dorje had *more signature guitars than songs.* (2 signature guitars, 1 signature bass, 2 Dorje songs, 0 Dorje albums.) I don't care if you like Rob or not, you've gotta admit that crap is so embarrassing.
I had to laugh when Rabea got a signature model. At the time he was just a guitar guy at Anderton's. Didn't even have his own channel! Lol
Thank you continuing to tell it like it is. You've earned a fan and subscriber.
I remember very vividly when business owner Rob abused his power by asking his Social Media fans to bail his band out after they had their stuff nicked. That was it for me. A very disrespectful and selfish way to go. We all make mistakes but that's just abuse of the gullible. Good video. Rob seems to want his right to reply by way of interview, so I look forward to that. Subscribed to you. Thanks.
I've watched Rob chapman from the beginning. By day I work in brand development and marketing and have seen the animal many times. Here we have a guy who has tried to build himself into a brand and business by celebrity but unfortunately is neither a credible businessman nor real celebrity - he's a guy who makes short videos on youtube that are monetised. This, in turn, leads to advertisers and social media companies seeking his advocacy on product endorsements and association through his followers and ultimately gifting him a 'private label guitar company'. Rob, you don't own a guitar making company you own a sales business that makes copies derived from famous designs that are made in Korea in a factory by labourers. True many makers do this but at least they originally learned the craft of instrument making before offshore mass production. Your's is akin to an Amazon business but with your own distribution network. It's always been about ego, you want to be famous. Naturally, there are going to be huge supporters of Rob's channel, hell he was one of the original guitar vloggers out there and man you can build an army with clicks. Rob you've gotten fat, fat in the head and fat in the ego and it needs to stop - not everybody is that easily bluffed by your 'celebrity' status. Get over it.
well said
So, how does all of this affect my guitar playing, or my band? Geez, what a bunch of gossiping teenage girls...
What’s your problem with girls? Why are you using them as a derogative term?
@@Zoso981 hopefully it won't affect your playing or your band Gaz but if it does I'm sure you'll watch another chappers video and be fine in the morning.
@@tinnturps You're right. I apologize. I didn't intend for that to be derogatory. Gossiping drama queens is maybe more appropriate.
The amount of detail and research you've done on this is great. 👍
Rewatching this 2 years later. I miss Audio Audits mate, this was such a cracking video
Aww hes stopped DOING em??? Dude !!!
Glad to see this back up, and so glad Dovydas came to you, so the truth could stay out there!, hope you never stop doing what you are doing. Thank you!
That vocal lesson thing was weird, donate cash for Chapo lessons but keep it secret on the internet.
LOL
He sang at NAMM.. lessons didnt help at all.
that was ridiculous lol. I'd have more respect for the guy if he just put it bluntly and asked for money for his own selfish reasons. Instead I see this shady shit time and time again making up stories and making fools out of anyone dumb enough to donate.
Your videos and research are always spot on, and well produced.
Let's face it, many musicians are less balanced than most blue-collar working people. Sad, but true. Thank goodness for artists andusicians though. Always support your local bands and artists.
The fact that Chap straight up condoned and damn near encouraged threatening behavior towards you negates any possible defense he could put up. The fact that he had to do a response video to his ORIGINAL response video because so many people (rightfully) pointed out how arrogant he came across, speaks volumes too. Been following you since and love your uploads 🤘🤘
It is not his fault that VERY FEW of his fans are idiots. He will not ever be able to control that in a fanbase this big. If anything its the responsibility of the bullied person to speak up and do something about it. Rob getting involved and trying to resolve the situation will only make it worse. Also the people spreading lies about Rob kinda deserve the hate. Not threats obviously but definitely the hate.
@@metalpuppet5798 The Bullied Person being KDH of course
And lies? Kindly specify the lies in this piece?
We await your detailed response - the years of TRUMP have taught us bluster and innuendo are no substitute for DATA!
@@petegaslondon literally every accusation made against Rob is a lie or at least unproven. For example there is zero proof that the money Dorje got from the gofundme was not used to replace the gear. If you make such an accusation its ON YOU to prove that it was used for something else. Same goes for the money that was collected for Robs singing lessons. You cant prove that he didnt have those. In fact his vocal development is proof that he DID in fact have them. The bullied person is definitely not KDH here. He knew very well that he would get deserved backlash for spreading bullshit about people that are way out of his league.
@@metalpuppet5798 As I've asked you twice previously, which of the accusations here are literally "lies" ? Direct quote, and supporting DATA please? Otherwise youre merely digging a bigger hole, for all to see
Also folks, note the language - I have a bandmate gone WAY down the pan on the p1ss*, spits out the evillist sexism, racism, homophobia, and when challenged after - "you've got no PROOF" - EXACTLY the language here
Ms Chapman, I've got no reason to hate you (I'm not even a guitar-user) but a lifestyle of lies simply can NOT sustain - this cats out the bag now, and scratching like fxxk - and only "unproven" in the sense of no Criminal Proceedings (yet) - lets break it down:
"zero proof that the money Dorje got from the gofundme was not used to replace the gear" - yet no definitive statement it WAS, simply "you've no proof" - interesting
"its ON YOU to prove that it was used for something else" - very well, kindly grant us ACCESS to said proof - will you show me, a fairly neutral observer (as a bassist I think ALL guitarists are ....ers (maybe a pretty one broke my heart once, I ain't saying!)) the receipts and insurance documents, re how the band were "shafted" by their Insurance Company ?
"..the money that was collected for Robs singing lessons. You cant prove that he didnt have those" - noticing a pattern here folks?
"In fact his vocal development is proof that he DID in fact have them" Lady, my ears ain't THAT good - even a spectrum analysis of before and after isnt THAT definitive - the "proof that he DID in fact have them" is you showing the receipts for BOTH lessons
"The bullied person is definitely not KDH" - how'd you make THAT out?
"He knew very well that he would get deserved backlash for spreading bullshit" - riighht, "deserved" (please explain), "bullshit" - for the 4th time, I ask you - kindly quote WHICH PART IS NOT TRUE HERE?
"people that are way out of his league" - Spoken like a Mafia Don - you don't scare me - however, one of this worlds leading Spiritual Traditions states that even murderers and rapists can seek peace through confession and honest repentance - Chapman could too - if he, like all spiritual paths teach, looks beyond his ego - he still holds onto supporters, for what he did in the past - a serious dose of TRUTH could ensure that he has a FUTURE - he'd have a lot of bridges to rebuild, a lot of apologies to make - yet it'd be the ONE path that would ensure he could provide for both wife and child - well, that or getting a day job
He had no business asking for money to begin with,he is a shmuck who then went & bought a custom guitar & his bandmate did too. Weeks after.
Yes king, good to see this back up. Support!
Don’t be indimidated by Rob «I got huge internet power» Chapman, you were spot on 100% right about everything, and I support you 100%, Rob Chapman can stick it
that wasn't very size of him
😂😂😂😂😂
Merry Christmas! I love this video!
Good to see this up again. Would love to see more of these.
Suggestion. Jari Maenpaa.
Hey guys. It's my birthday next week. And all my millions are caught up in investments and are not liquid. Think you can all gofundme a new BMW 8 series?
No... The rule is, get a bitch to setup a gofundme for you, and pretend you know nothing about it.
James B. Then ignore all the promises you made to extract the money from your supporters. Mind you, if you’re stupid enough to send money to a dickwad like that... I know a Nigerian prince who needs your high street bank account to get all his millions out of Africa.
The research for this was just thorough. Good job!
You're fantastic, please continue this series
Glad to see the video back man!! Its gettin quite a few views!
Good shit man. Hope more people open their ears and listen to see this is criticism and not hatred. Keep up the good work
Always got a douchey megalomaniacal "better than you, alpha male" vibe from him. Glad I never bought one of those guitars. Sad.
A YEAR AGO?! How did I miss this one? You did a great job! Love your videos! Did he pony up?
I want to say, I used to love watching Chappers and the Captain, ... but, he has changed GREATLY. This video is confirmation that someone else sees the exact things that have been running through my mind for the last 12 - 16 months... the click baiting videos, continuously plugging his 'stuff' as if it was a favor to us. As a result, I have recently and proactively been avoiding any of Rob's recent videos where the title is vague and structure-less, because every time I watch one, there is no GREAT SURPRISE, REVELATION, or any other related matter. If you can't admit that then you have been star struck and are clearly 'fan-boying'. He is now clearly being actively deceptive and I have been aware of it way before this video was posted.
I do NOT feel panhandling for an extravagant birthday gift is AT ALL noble in any way, then deleting the videos to hide the corruption is even worse. Trust me, as I have actually been homeless on the streets in the past. 'REAL' need is not "my gear was stolen" or "I'd like more voice lessons". Also purchasing that PRS "for his son (yeah, right), at the same time period, while using his 'you tube celebrity power' to beg for donations, as well as not fulfilling the promises to the children, and deleting the videos.... downright EVIL. "Dooku has turned to the Dark side. Lies, deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now."
To Rob: You always seemed to be a very "good fella" and I'm sure you still are, but all the high end business you have recently been into has obviously compromised your judgement. If not, then you are a great actor and fooled a lot of people. This is my perception of you now, Rob. I know you are in a weird place where, you even said it, people 'you don't even know' are giving you crap. This VENT of mine is just to state my current perception, and my recent frustration, because honestly, I have missed the old Chappers very much. I realize you most likely do not care... jus sayin' -- Happy Holidays to all.
Very well said, I feel the same way.
To me - from the very first time I was watching him pretetiously promoting his ego as great player and comedian (he qualifies for nine of the above) I found him highly off-putting. But then again, I was married to a grandiose narcissist before so I spot the traits from a mile away.
When do you start selling KDH Sunglasses and will Andertons stock them?
I want to see a signature line from Ray-Ban!
lmao!
Dude... the Ed Roman video and this one... I really needed these man. I always wondered about this shit!!!
As a Chapman, I have got to see this from both sides. I AM proud that one of my kin started a guitar company, but...
I'm not enthusiastic about any Chapman guitar I've ever seen. I don't see any innovation in body shape, electronics, etc. They just look like copies of other brand models (last guitar I bought: Dean Mustaine Angel of Deth. It's amazing!).
I would say, please innovate and make something interesting (our family motto is, "virtue, even under oppression"), but I don't need to. If you keep making clone guitars, the company will go under.
As for what's said in this video, if true, you are invited to change the company name to, "Rockin Rob Guitars", or "Skit-Doodly-Do-Dat Guitars", etc.
Don't put my name on that sh...
This really is solid investigative reporting, and it paints a portrait of someone not just making a mistake, but engaging in a course of misrepresentative conduct across many of their professional endeavours. Quite something.
Very well done video, hope things work out for you man!
Man. Just you giving that guitar ti that girl brought a genuine smile on my face. Like, I'm watching, watching, and then I suddenly realized that I was smiling. So wholesome, dude
Man here I am thinking this is something new but this was 2 years ago oh my god bro this series is insane. 😂😂😂 Subbed.
Thanks KDH for the video. After this video, I find Rob Chapman and the Chapman Guitars to be shady. I am a beginner with guitars and follow youtubers like Rob Scallon, Rabea Massaad and Perfecto De Castro who are seen promoting Chapman Guitars. I have been saving to buy Chapman ML1 modern from the only place it is available in Calgary, Guitar Works. Never did I thought of reading about Quality control issues about this brand as I trusted these guys blindly. I am grateful for the video and no longer considering this brand for my guitar.
Bikr4life take it from me mate get yourself a higher end eppiphone or a Mexican fender you won't be disappointed and they will serve you very well.
I’ve heard a lot of people have had issues with the Chapmans from that store. I bought a ghost fret there a few years ago and I got lucky, it’s great, but even the used ML-2 I bought later had some pretty big problems, that most likely weren’t caused by the previous owner
Keep up the good work man. Forcing him to prove your point without barely lifting a finger.
Great video. And I appreciate the effort and time you have put in.
A successful CZcams channel takes a huge commitment. I hope yours pays off
I played one Chapman and I hated it so much I’ve never even thought about buying one lol.
There's no reason to even buy a Chapman guitar when there's companies like Kiesel and Ormsby out there.
Or Epiphone or solar or LTD or schecter or fender or squire
Zoe san literally any other guitar company other than Chapman at this point. Hell, Harley Benton guitars are even the shit.
Or Stagg, Encore, GEAR4MUSIC.
Personally, I'd but an aliexpress model over a Chapman.
I chose Jackson
I think the best thing to come out of all this is that Rob is probably re-evaluating a lot of things he says and does now, and will be a better person cuz of it. One last thing- Don't stop making these videos
He won't be better. He'll just feel better about himself.
@@fgoindarkg Sadly, u r probably right my friend...he is very fond of himself, isn't he? he is a legend ....... in his own mind lol
Fricken good research. I would've only gotten a tenth of this info if I researched for an hour.
Hey keep up the good work!!! I’m brand new to your channel and I’m very happy to have found this kind of content keep up the good work.....Did you delete the Glenn Fricker video??? I went to look for it after you mentioned it in the beginning of this video and I can’t find it
If anything, I've come out with more respect for Glenn and his genuine taking of the critisism
Glenn has always seemed to be the kind of guy to give and take criticism in stride not the kind of guy who'd bury his head in the sand if hes called out
I'm kinda embarrassed I saw the rob response to you and made up my mind to defend him in his comments, 2 weeks later I find this from dovydas and I had to go correct my original comment. Keep it up bro.
Fairplay for being willing to change your view though! Too many people just putting on the blinders when it comes to stuff like this, hearing someone they admire has done wrong. There needs to be maturity around these types of issues.
Same here, not a fan of chappers anymore
Imagine being the guy who takes jabs at someone for changing their mind in light of new evidence. Must need that feeling of superiority I guess.
Dude. Mean girl references??? Awesome. Keep it up!! Love it.
Great video mate. Keep exposing the wrong in the community, you're so detailed and your arguments are Very much on point and I feel as if I'm watching an idubbz content cop
This is really well made. It's sad to see that this much work is just met with a half assed reply/more self-promotion and then stormed by the "influenced". I really hope, that the threats are empty and you can move on once the situation cooled down.
Hi KDH, I don't know if you will see my comment but I wanted to give you my support. I just recently saw the different videos online about this Rob Chapman story. Keep it up and don't let other people scare you or discourage you. Good luck for the future from France.
This is good work. I remember being stunned to learn that the tool in the Andertons videos was the guy behind Chapman guitars.....
