another chappers(ex!) fan here, shame to here he's a prat in person. great player though.

just been watching some tour footage from chappers and can confirm it has really put me off him. I know many unsigned musicians who have more talent and also think that the other guitarist in his band is far better than him, he acts like it's his tour when he's only a support act. I was going to go to this gig but quite happy I didn't now from what I have heard, was it worth £6?

The Drills were worth at least 3 times the £6 entry fee IMO. Dave and I didn't really listen much to the 3 support acts - in all honesty they added to the entertainment of the night but not for the reasons they would have wanted to.   :D

I'm still on a bit of a 'Chappers' rant . Reading this gave me some amusement:

"Hi guys,

Many of my hardcore followers will already know this , but just to make it official here... the Rob Chapman band is now called Dorje.

Pronounced - Door Jay

I much prefer the feeling of fraternity within a band to being solo artist, the line up is the same... the only difference will be that we are starting from scratch with material which will be a mash up of Prog rock infused Drop B Pain, mixed with my blues rock and traditional song structures.

Think of it as a kind of Audioslave if you will - growly vocalist joins slightly funky rock dudes. We are very much a band, this is not a solo project.

The material I wrote as a solo artist will still be recorded by the same line up and released as Rob Chapman.

The brand new Dorje page is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dorje/321982841193879

Soon to get a vanity name once we decide on it. And lastly if you are wandering what a Dorje is, it's a spiritual tool used in Tibet by the Lama during rituals.

Wish us luck

Chappers & Dorje"


Hmmm - even though it is "not a solo project" it is interesting it is signed from "Chappers AND Dorje" and that the music will be "a mash up of Prog rock infused Drop B Pain, mixed with my blues rock and traditional song structures."

And I would call Chris Cornell anything but growly!!!!

I would have went had they been playing near me but I would really only have wanted to see PhilX like him or loathe him people hes a great player and in my humble opinion Chappers doesnt even come close

god bless youtube and all who sail in her.

This, by far, is the best quote I've seen in such a long time! :D

Is The Drills' "We Bring The Rock n Roll" album worth getting? The only song I can hear in full is Talk You Off the Ledge which is awesome.

[Twinfan]

They're only short albums, more like EPs, but they're worth getting if they're cheap enough.  The tracks are quite catchy, if not very deep and meaningful  :lol:
