Impossibility is one of the very few albums I can press play on and just let it rip the whole way through. To me, it’s a metal masterpiece.

The Impossibility of Reason is one of the best metal albums ever written, produced and recorded. Banger after banger after banger.

Please live stream one of these shows. Your fans will thank you so much for it

Rob Arnold has to be one of the most grounded nice dudes in metal surely. He comes across like the really enthusiastic guy at your local music shop who just so happens to have created some of the greatest metal grooves in living history. I think he deserves a power trip.

I got my tickets for the Saturday Chimaira Show! I beg of you to play Army Of Me that night!!!!

I was just watching a Chimiara gig that took place months ago in 2023. In all sincerity I don't think any of you skipped a beat. Super tight, Heavy, Professional level gig. In closing I concur with as it pertains to your guitar rig. A throw and go guitar and or bass rig is the way to go. There's no need for a ton of superfluous junk. When Chimiara has always been a meat and potatoes in your face Heavy Metal band.

So happy and thankful that we get the opportunity to see you guys live. I discovered Chimaira in 2019, and have been listening everyday since. Best band I’ve ever listened to. Period. Best guitar riffs, and best breakdowns. Nobody goes as hard as Chimaira and I don’t think any band ever will. Chimaira will always be the kings.

I still listen to Chimaira daily. Will there ever be another album? Or shall I stop hoping?

I’m so glad to hear you guys are getting back together, well most of you anyway. Even if it’s just for a few shows. Hopefully you guys will put out a new record. I wish Andols was joining you. I heard he’s been sick and hasn’t been feeling well enough to play these past few years. Hopefully he’ll get better. I’m praying for him. Wishing you guys nothing but success.

We need a petition to get Chimaira to get their asses in the studio and put out a banger

It's great! How I've missed you all these years! With your return, there is a sense of joy and power. You are one of the best bands✊ I hope you create a new album 💪💪💪

Man life is good. About to see CHIMAIRA. first time ever. Husband has seen 4x. When we were kids i tried to borrow his Chimaira Impossibility of Reason maroon windbreaker. He gave me Fear Factory’s hoodie and that made me 😊😂. Side note bummed Andols won’t be performing but know DD drummer kicks ass on drums. Hope Andols is doing well.

We are ready to rock 2023!!!

Ugh man ..one of my all time metal favorites .. miss those Chimaira days .. great music great live shows .. hopefully one day we can enjoy you guys live again

Cool video Rob so happy to hear chimaira coming back for the live shows you guys were the best. After hearing down again on TV I bought the impossibly of reason and was completely blown away and I've been a fan ever since then. I still hope you guys make new music one day but it's so cool to still see you guys come back and do these reunion shows 🙏🤘💙

I was the promoter when you guys played Boise, ID with Lamb of God, 18 visions, and Atreyu. You guys where all super nice and easy to work with. Thanks for being awesome and not having “the art of grumpy” attitude!

Gave me chills hearing those riffs, took me back to my teenage years. I used to listen to all Chimaira songs/albums and used to inspire me in songwriting with my band. Happy days Indeed

The world needs Chimaira 💪👍

Awesome dude!!!

Yessss!!!! Sounds killer!

WOW, Chimaira reunion!!!! in 2004 discovered you on freddy vs jason soundtrack, "Army of me" was my favourite! :-)

I saw you guys a few times here in St. Louis. Always a great show. Hope to see you again. Congratulations on the anniversary!

Remember seeing you guys at Club Laga PIttsburgh like wayyyy early 2000s I think... good times

I had a very similar set up back in the day as well. I used to run two BOSS NS-2 pedals in my 6505+ since it was so damn noisy! Eventually I got a ISP Decimator Pro Rack G and that completely fixed up the hum and little whistle sound you hear at the end from the strings. Overtime I got tired of luggin around all that heavy gear and just settled for a Axe Fx AX8 which is what I now currently use. Gotta make sure we watch our backs! (Literally lol)

Love the tone !!!!!

That Everything You Love intro gets me every time! Such a good song. My old band used to warm up to the first couple of minutes of it.

Awesome!!!

I can’t wait to see you and the dudes live again man, it’s gonna be great whenever it happens! It’s been since 2008 when I last saw the band live

Jealous of everyone that has a ticket to the Reunion Tour. Damn! When will we see a national tour of Chimaira? That would be awesome! 🎸🤟 hoping it happens soon. Keep rocking Rob, love the videos.

Rob, thanks!

ESP M-II and 6505+ represent! 🤙 I've always found a little bit of that black packing sponge (you get with pedals, computer parts, etc) cut into shape and slotted just after the nut gets rid of that post chug whistle! Best of luck on this upcoming show. Would kill to be there.

I just bought my first Evertune equipt guitar. A 2015 ESP Ltd Mh-1000ET in Black. Looks just like the one you have hanging behind you! Should be here Wednesday. Im so damn excited. I can't wait to 'just play' and stop worring about being in tune. Been watching your videos in preparation for this big moment. Stay Cool Man.

So pumped for this video 🤘🤘 one of my idols brother

Love seeing your content and glad you guys are still working together. I remember I went to a show in I think the earlyish 2000s in Orlando. It was at a smaller club and the show was intense. I'll never forget it.

Chill bumps on my arms when I seen the title of this video! This band always had some of the toughest riffs. Their tone is perfect to me.

Glad yall are reuniting! Hopefully you guys will do a full on tour on the near future! 🤘🏻

Nice, your road ready Octive salvation 🔥🔥 sounds good 👍

This was really cool to see! I cant wait for the show it's going to be killer

Clean and simple! Amazing!

It's great to see how a real simple setup like this can be done while still being so versatile. Educational as always. 🤘🤘

I wish you guys would jump on a tour so I could see you up here in New England again...would be sick

Very happy to hear about the Reunion Rob!

Hey Rob! Cant believe you guys are going to play a show again! And on my birthday!!! May 13th. Wish I could be at that show!

Good luck on your reunion shows Rob!! Hope to see some great footage.

I'm super JUICED to see you guys live!!! It's been far to long. Love the hair rob, killer set up. My first real guitar was because of you guys. Ltd Esp m-100 series. What I used to learn all your guys amazing material.

Awesomeness

Nice 😍

Great video Rob! I'm looking forward to the show!

Dude i only just saw the chimaira reunion show on youtube! Man you guys crushed it! 💪👍

This is the rig of rigs, utterly savage chugs but just enough fx to make buttery leads and awesome cleans! Wonder if there will be a stream of the reunion? Or come play london uk again 🤘🤘🤘

Jeeeeeeeeeeze the mids and presence are cranked!

I am unbelievably stoked for the reunion

Im SO happy and excited for the show I just want to buy a plane ticket rigth now just to see you guys for the first time live !!! so many lucky people are going to see the best guitar player in the world , congrats Rob !! love and cheers hope to snag a guitar pick one day..💞🤘🎸

Iconic sound, Robbo.

🔥🤘😈🤘🔥 Fuck yeah! I've dreamed of this day for so long and finally.. The Reunion. Thank you Rob for all that you do!

Rig sounds killer, can't wait for the shows, I am flying in from Austria to see you guys 🤘

Exciting.

damn dude all sounds great

Painting the white to grey made me go out and buy a Ltd h207 back in 99!

Awesome rig, nice and simple, I agree if it ain't broke don't fix it

That clean tone man

Can’t wait for new material😮

SWEET

Got my tickets can’t wait to see you guys in may!

enjoying the meaty tone; very metal. Hope to see Chimaira play more shows around the US

Sad I wasn’t able to get tickets to the show before they sold out. Can’t wait to see the live footage that pops up on the tube! EXCITE!! 🤘🏼

may have to drive from NYC for this. I just cannot miss this !

Nice rhythm tone. I don't like delay or reverb on solos though - just raw amp tone with wah and occasionally phaser or flanger.

I remember first hearing your band on Farmclub playing Dead Inside and really diggin' the tune and the next thing I know you all get signed to Roadrunner Records and also seeing you all play a ton of shows in the early 2000's great times and Chimaira was/is one of my favorite live bands. I was never disappointed!!! Keep on rockin'!!! \m/

I fucking knew it!!!!!! Rob please tour the uk I was honestly die 🥺

My goodness. I would love to have your setup someday. It sounds so perfect!

Im pumped for the show! Both days and a meet n greet. Are you guys gonna record the show? A DVD or stream would be nice...could be the last we see of you guys for a long time. Keep it alive and rock on!

Sounds mean AF!!!!

Can confidently say Chimaira influenced my playing-and my band’s-in the early aughts, paving a way for a lot of us out of the nu metal phase into the new wave of American metal/metalcore. Recently been getting back into noodling around and finding these videos both helpful and nostalgic. Sadly, won’t be at the anniversary shows but really excited for all of you. Cheers 🍻

Getting close to the reunion gig. I'm fired up for you guys 🤘🤘🤘

Thanks for all the great KZfaq content, Mr. Rob. Randomly, I wanted to take a sec to appreciate your guitar work and riffery on SFU - UNDEAD. That is the only SFU album I own and have it only because you are the riff meister. That disc is chock full of just bad ass playing and kliler, killer riffs. Absolutely fantastic stuff and so good for the GYM! 18 Days with those wicked trills, Missing Victims with that dissonance, Reckless has like a metal boogie going on, top notch chuggies and riffery man. THANK YOU.

I'll be at both shows! Coming from Dallas, can't wait!!

Such a professional!!! Love you brother see you guys in 67 days!! The hair is looking great Rob rockstar ready!

Still listen to chimaira everyday brother great to here

Goddang that's a mean looking ESP! Love it!

timeless greatness

Sad I live in a different part of world. Hope one day my dream to see you live will become true because Chimaira is my favorite metal band!😎

I have my ticket to see you guys in May, brother. Can't wait!

Awesome vid and great to see Chimaira back Rob. Also wanted to say a huge thanks and respect for your writing and work with SFU - really great death metal

Thanks for the rundown Rob! I recently picked up a 6505+ Head, and man I wish I had gotten one sooner. What a beast! I have a Maxon OD808 that I usually run in front of my other amp, but I haven't really needed it on this one. It seems like cranking the presence knob to around 8 has a similar effect, at least to my ears.

I have been a huge fan since pass out of existence extremely underrated band. Some of best albums EVER great riffs , killer breakdowns 100% perfect metal. 2023 shows awwww FUCK YEAH.

Hi ROB! thank you for sharing this with you! as you have already tested with a Boss SD1 on the front, personally I have the same rig as you and I can't do without this boost pedal

I love Chimaira so damn much I have a huge tattoo on my arm of the logo and I'm sad I'll never be able to see you guys live!!!!

It’s going to be so siiiiick! Can’t wait for this show. I was curious if you were going to work that Framus amp in there lol… Or build this massive rig and just be like “just kidding, I’m using my kemper…” 😆 🤘

Oh man I always loved your guitar tone, is so fckin sick. This is how a fckin guitar must sound, like a punch straight to your face. This is my reference when I'm looking for new gear to my guitar

everything you love intro is so awesome!

Gonna be an epic night I’ll be there for the Saturday show🤘🏻💀👊🏼

I wish Chimaira would do a tour for the impossibility of reason anniversary. Love that album and would love seeing the album in full live here in Albuquerque. 🤘🏽

this will be fucking amazing

Can't wait to see andols playing again

I absolutely NEED a new album and tour!

Oh I would love to go to one of these shows. It's great to hear that you guys are doing a reunion. I discovered You guys very late. 2017. And Chimaira became one of my favorite bands. And Rob. You have become one of my favorite guitar players. I'm an old guy and don't go to concerts anymore. Health issues. But I would go if you guys ever went on tour and came to Phoenix. Love your channel because I have been trying like HELL to figure out how to play your guitar riffs. My God! Quite the Bitch of a challenge for an old 80s bass player. 😆

Hey man.Long time no see :) Oh shit,reunion?! I wanna go there! Eitherway ...sweeet rig..and im really looking forward seeing more videos of the journey towards this reunion show .Greetings from the youknowwhoFromNorway ,Stefan :)

Realy? Thats crazy man,Mexico city is ready for that fucking reunion 🤟🤟
