new solo

[spooner666]

wot do you all think of the solo tracking put up on the chimaira site today?

i personaly think it sounds badass.

there are new pics too.
:D

[Malakian105]

Just listened to it.
It's fucking amazing. Why the hell does it have to stop though..I want more!!! :p

[punisher0325]

It is F**KIN amazing but it is kinda short a little longer would have been perfect

[Ill Dino]

lol, I have no idea what it will sound like on the album, but it should be great :)

[Pete]

It sounds really cool, looking forward to many like it on the album.

[pure hatred]

they are just teasing us... sounds awesome though :)

[SLITrist101]

sounds great...sounds like he is using a wah pedal too. And I HATE how they are always so damn short!

[SoNofMaN]

too short to judge.

[sysera]

Honestly? It sounds gay as hell. I hope it fits the song better when it can be heard in it's entirety.

[Kiriyama]

This album is sounding so promising ,the solo was good from what i heard , the drumming is fucking tight, and that riff on the site is just fucking evil, i cant wait for this album!

[thecolorjade]

Wonder why rob cut his hair again. no biggie. as alot of you may recall from the dvd, rob said he wanted a good solo in the song without making it too long and boring. or something like that. I agree because his solos are kind of short. but they are powerful nonetheless. go rob.

[satan's wizard]

it was alright.

[rem3mberingnever]

where can I find this clip @?

[rem3mberingnever]

nevermind im sorry I found it. It sounds ok. Im more a fan of the thick low distored fast beats but its all good

[Sevaloco_Nick]

its ok, nothing special yet but it was only 3 seconds or so, but i was more interested by the tune in the background behind it, seems quite heavy ass with kevin playin a kick ass speed beat with fast snares.

[perberos]

the solo is nice but its too bad that the clip is so short.. you cant really judge by such a short clip. i think that the drums sound kinda boring, i was waiting for something more technical and harder to play and kevin looks like a fuckin rapper.. duh.. hopefully he will play a little better on the album as a whole.

[machine(hed)]

hey! they ripped off my homemade chimaira sweatshirt!

Have you even heard the guy? Have you heard any fetus or Misery tunes? Listen to that shit and tell me he's boring. Honestly, so many people are judgin the guy off 2 minutes of a dvd and a few second long clip. Stop putting the guy's drumming down and just wait for the album to come out.

And where do you get "he looks like a fucking rapper"

too fucking true lets wait for the album, im fucking positive the drumming is gonna rock!

[perberos]

aite aite aite you're right but im saying that he really looks like a rapper, nearly all the players in the new wave of anything heavy metal look like rappers, well not really like rappers but too normal, if they play heavy music then they should look metal. im not saying that everyone should look like rob halford but just a little bit different from normal people, like just wearing a couple of chains or something, and those beanies, AAARGH beanies goddamn hell no.

ummm yeah ;)

[thecolorjade]

I second that. Not to be racist or anything, but when i think rappers, I don't think chimaira or metallica, I think Snoop Dogg or Jay-z. Not saying that guy was an idiot, just a very odd outlook. I don't go out wearing chains and make-up. my hair is short also. No tatoos. just my few metal shirts. pretty "normal". I'm no rapper though. I love metal. I play metal in my band. I like my metal like I like my porn... Hardcore

[spooner666]

WTF is that guy talking about chimaira look quite metal, OK there no manowar but still quite metal.

[destroyer_of_senses]

I doubt Chimaira care what people think of their dress sense. Why should they? The point of this band is the music, not the image. If you are worrying what they are wearing is un-metal, then you are probably listening to the wrong type of music.

[SLITrist101]

who gives a fuck about what they look like...they are playing amazingly heavy fucking kick ass music, is that not enough?

[perberos]

okay maybe i was too radical with my opinion and i don't judge any band by their dressing and i really enjoy the new wave of metal but i'm also into 80's metal and i think that the real metal dressing was during the 80's. and i'm not saying that you can't be metal if you dont wear all this manowar stuff, i'm just saying that metal musicians today SHOULD look more metalish. and i'm not listening to the wrong type of music, i'm a huge fan of chimaira,shadows fall etc... and i dont mean that every metal fan should look very metal, just the musicians because they are creating the music and i really wonder what metalheads will look like in 2015.. maybe the music will be great but the people look very stupid. only time will tell us..

[perberos]

i dont mean that its not enough, the music really cant be better but the way they dress could be.

[SLITrist101]

ok i get what your saying and i can agree somewhat...but still for me image isnt a big thing.

[perberos]

ok i get what your saying and i can agree somewhat...but still for me image isnt a big thing.
well we are all different kind of persons and to me image is a pretty big thing. :D

and by the way people have you seen the way mastodon's and pelican's guys look like? they are great examples for what im saying.

[Kiriyama]

chimaira are as " metal" as they come dude! :D

[SLITrist101]

well we are all different kind of persons and to me image is a pretty big thing. :D


so true :)

I think they have the image down pretty good though if they want to go for the heavy metal look. Long hair, facial hair, metal band t-shirts, and a really tough look lol.

[thecolorjade]

Yeah perberos. Only reason you're getting so much shit is because you go to a chimaira site and start saying they're not very metal looking and calling their drummer a rapper and such. Feel free to think whatever the hell you want, but come on. I'm not going to go to a Judas priest or other 80's band's website and tell people they need to change and they're drummer sucks. you get it.

[thecolorjade]

I meant that in a nice way^^^^^^^ :) We're all friends on this messege board

[destroyer_of_senses]

I said that you're [U]probably listening to the wrong type of music. You haven't really explained why they should look more metal, just that because they are the musicians, they should be setting the trend.Image in an individual thing, and lately everyboady in the metal scene seems to be wearing the same generic black t shirts and jeans, so Chimaira not conforming is probably a good thing.

[flood]

most of the shit they wear i would be willing to bet is given to them for free.

[spooner666]

most of the shit they wear i would be willing to bet is given to them for free.
very good point, plus they even talked about getting free cloths on the DVD

[perberos]

okay cool you're right, i didn't pay enough attention when enjoying the dvd and i didn't really think about that free cloth thing.

[Tomohawk]

Yeah perberos. Only reason you're getting so much shit is because you go to a chimaira site and start saying they're not very metal looking and calling their drummer a rapper and such. Feel free to think whatever the hell you want, but come on.

Umm....Chimaira's not metal?? I feel bad for the guy who said that, lol! Has his sorry ass ever heard This Present Darkness? That's a good definition of metal right there for him.

[flood]

i think the drummer looks like surfer, but i don't think they play surf rock.... or do i?

[Graveland]

no, you're right. Kevin wanted to play surf rock so that's what they're doing now

[perberos]

Umm....Chimaira's not metal?? I feel bad for the guy who said that, lol! Has his sorry ass ever heard This Present Darkness? That's a good definition of metal right there for him.

i never said that chimaira's music aint metal and all chimaira albums belong to my all time favorites. you people really dont seem to get my point, just talk about the solo and dont make this such a huge number. xx(

[thecolorjade]

You're the one that brought up their appearance and called kevin a rapper

[chimaira mark]

http://www.chimaira.com/images/studio02.jpg

he looks pretty ghetto to me, reminds me of grandmaster flash.....tard
is it because he is wearing a "beanie" because it is -20 here or in the clip when he is wearing a sweat rag around his head so he doesn't have to stop playing to wipe his eyes every 10 minutes because he is slamming on the drums.
you my friend are silly...

and for the record, if i want to come out in the next photo shoot sporting a mink coat and gold chains that is what i will do, it has nothing to do with the music. if we put out a rap record then i would worry.

[SLITrist101]

haha you just got called out by Mark...I would actually like to see you guys dressed up all gangster though ,it would be fucking hillarious. you gotta get the gold capped teeth too though.

[thecolorjade]

That made my day! That ought to shut you up! It tickles me that Mark cares enough to chime in on the messege boards every now and then and slam people for being dumb. One of the many many reason's Chimaira rules and is without a doubt my favorite band.

[Octo]

Haha, I must just say at this point, that in that particular picture, Kev looks like Brandon Boyd from Incubus! LOL!

[SLITrist101]

lol ya hes a good guy :)

[goodking]

LMFAO owned by Mark, good on ya!

[SLITrist101]

Haha, I must just say at this point, that in that particular picture, Kev looks like Brandon Boyd from Incubus! LOL!

lol ya, he looks really short too.

[thecolorjade]

He is short. I'm 6'2" and I towered over him when I met him. Fabulous drummer.

[flood]

the one time i got to see Chimaira w/ mark was at a theatre (denver), and in the middle of a song a projection screen came down right along his back. a very spinal tap-ish moment. he was just laughing.

[Captain YoYo's]

if i want to come out in the next photo shoot sporting a mink coat and gold chains that is what i will do
Please do! (H)

[Rob Arnolds Axe]

aite aite aite you're right but im saying that he really looks like a rapper, nearly all the players in the new wave of anything heavy metal look like rappers, well not really like rappers but too normal, if they play heavy music then they should look metal. im not saying that everyone should look like rob halford but just a little bit different from normal people, like just wearing a couple of chains or something, and those beanies, AAARGH beanies goddamn hell no.


You were totally asking to get called out by Mark on that one and it happened. What you have been saying is truly ignorant on your part.

[spooner666]

go rob a mink coat would be cool as hell, but in a funny way, although i dont know what isnt metal about baggy combat trousers and band t shirts with no sleves, that guy had no point!

[perberos]

awesome!

[perberos]

i am enlightened.. goddamn i really cant say anything at this point, i would have never believed that mark would take part in this conversation but if i see kevin wearing a beanie on south american(or a similar place) tour then nothing can save you but anyways mark you're the man. :)

[Tomohawk]

LOL, I'm sure I'd buy a Chimaira rap album anyway. But please, for the sake of humanity don't do it.

[SLITrist101]

LOL, I'm sure I'd buy a Chimaira rap album anyway. But please, for the sake of humanity don't do it.

i must agree with that lol.

[Captain YoYo's]

Id buy a Chimaira rap cd, only if it's GANG$TA!

[SLITrist101]

no it cant only be GANG$TA is has to be G-UNIT GANG$TA!

[Captain YoYo's]

hmmm, it would also need OG Loc to make a guest appearance, just to make it officially GANG$TA! (H)

[SLITrist101]

word to that brotha

[spooner666]

yea a chimaira rap album would be funny, please dont doo it, ass rapeing metal would be much prefered.

[Captain YoYo's]

LOL they should release a bonus disc with the new album with rap versions of their own songs... Fuck yo' power trip ;)

[spooner666]

then they can release a DVD "the de*****fing proccess".

[Kentucky]

Do they tune lower on the new shit ?

[SLITrist101]

like the stuff they are releasing now?...if that is waht your talking about it Mark answered that in another thread in here.
