THANKS FOR WATCHING! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE + COMMENT🙏🏼 And YES, I am taking requests for future playthrough vids! Let me know what you'd like to see! 🤘
First, it's awesome seeing these playthrough videos! As for requests, anything from The Impossibility of Reason. My favourite Chimaira album. Cheers from Norway 🤘🏻
@@RobArnoldWorld this makes me want to post some Chimaira covers. I always had fun playing them. With "Taste My..." (Clean vocals and guitar wise) Options"(vocally and guitar) and "Jade" Being just a few of my favorites to play.
This album was so far ahead of its time and if u listen to bands today like Emmure, Alpha Wolf and others you can hear this influence in it. Such a killer album 🤘
Split was the song that got me into you guys. Pass Out if Existence was dismissed as a numetal throwaway by those who couldn't look past the downtuning and no solos. So much rhythm and sneaky nuances going on with this record! Sick shit for sure.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Yeah. Closed minded mothafuckers couldn't handle the downtuned riffs, screaming and no solos. Then Impossibility of Reason came out and shut all those naysayers up!!!
So bad ass. You guys killed it coming out with this album. I dont care what was said on the dehumanizing process DVD. I always thought this album was on point. And then you continued to step it up from there.
@@vxrdrummer why? It's a terrible album. It's like 10 different genres mashed together. There's talking vocals (even whispering? 'uh uh uh JADE' - sounds gay as hell), terrible guitar tone, random guitar effects thrown in because they thought they sounded cool individually. Not good at all. The Impossibility of Reason shits all over this.
@@bubbacalling Impossibility does shit all over all it, but aside from parts here and there that are a bit cringey, Pass out is a great and really listenable album. Without it, they wouldn't have been able to make Impossibility or go on to do anything they did afterwards. There was no way it was shit like monte connor claimed. Self indulgent bits like in the track Pass out of Existence where it breaks down and goes into that melodic bridge part do let it down, but I really really enjoyed the album when it was released and still do. I like mashes of genres. The first two slipknot albums were a bit of everything genre wise as well. I know slipknot and chimaira are on different levels, but Chimaira played what they felt good playing on that record regardless of genre or style of part or type of song and it was a good start to a great band.
One of the great metal albums of the early 00's. I'd go as far as saying that it's absolutely criminally underrated. I would kill for a new Chimaira album!!!
Never realized how much I used to listen to this album until now. Damn, certainly one of the best albums ever. Absolutely mind blowing how heavy and pissed off this sounded when it came out. Thanks for doing this!
Rizzo was a game changer for me, I remembered hearing it on 93x's Metal Shop back in the day. It was a jaw a on the floor song... I knew I had to find the cd the next day!
I don’t why this album wasn’t more well received, I get everybody likes to bag on the NU metal scene, and any band that went thru a phase. but they are also the same people who damned well they spent 600$ at the mall on blue Jnco’s, white wife beaters, and a red new era hat💀 I still like the genre. Some of the coolest riffs out the came from it
This album really never got the appreciation and recognition it deserved. I remember hearing this album and being blown away by it. I love every song on this album. To me this album along with KSE's Alive or Barely Breathing and Unearth's the Oncoming Storm were the albums that spark the metal resurgence in the early 2000s. Masterpiece in my opinion.
Man, I remember when this came out. I think me and my friends were the only once that ever heard of it. We searched day and night for new bands haha. But when TIOR came out it was a whole new level.
while you guys were touring this album and on tour w kittie you played in atlanta, ga. i was maybe 17 saved up to go and drove up there (i lived in augusta about 2 hours away) on a school night w my shitty first car. by chance i had my 7 string that i bought to learn your music. long story short not only did the whole band sign my guitar but you also invited me on the bus to hang out. it was the coolest thing that ever happened to me and still one of the reasons i play music. thank you!
Such an high school album for me. Loved this on the cd player everyday. I had this album cover on a Tshirt in my yearbook photo. Damn those were great times
Man i was like 17 when this came out. myself and all my headbanger friends jammed the fuh out to this. So much nostalgia. It's one of the albums that got me into metal and playing guitar which I still do. On a 6505 of course!
😍would love to see a complete run through of Severed. That’s the song that did it for me! The first time I heard that I was blown away 🤩. Shortly after I moved from Upstate NY to Maine stuck up a conversation with a coworker about music and Chimaira came up, then we both said Severed was our favorite song. Instant friend ship. We both seen you guys multiple times. Drove from Maine to to see the last Christmas show.
This album is what got me into metal back in 2002 and I owe a lot to you guys for that! I will always support Chimaira however I can - keep the videos coming, please!
Saw you guys in 03-04 era at the masquerade in Atlanta. We were front row. my friends all loved the new album at the time. I was still more of a fan of this album. Underrated and a great one from that era. Remember. This was a transition phase from the 90s kings of Pantera, slayer etc. This was new and heavy and andols helped usher in the new era of drumming. Well, him and Chris Adler.
8:20 man, when i first heard that riff, my mind was completely blown! SO INSANELY fucking unique sounding, even to this day. Rob is such a legendary riff writer. This whole album is full of amazing shit :D Also man i love the first album so much. Pass and resurrection are my favs
Eyes of a Criminal because that 2;30 groove you and matt kick it into is one the first if not the very first thing i picked out by ear on my guitar 15 years ago I cannot tell you how awesome it would be to jam that track out with you vicariously through UA-cam!!!!
This album blew my fucking mind back in the day. I was in culinary school in Florida and a dude in my class was like, "hey, check this out". I still play it from time to time!! Keep rockin!! 🤘
My jaw was on the floor when my eyes beheld that episode of The Farm Club back in the day. As soon as Pass Out of Existence was out on RoadRunner records, I bought it immediately!
That one thumbs down can get the F on outta here. This is the album that introduced me to my favorite band of all time. I had a Columbia house membership and had never heard a single thing from Chimaira before I read the description of the music and it sounded like something I’d like.....Got it and was blown away been a huge fan ever since and still have that cd along all the other chimaira cd’s!!!!!!!!
Man I'm smiling!! This is my favorite album from you guys! This was my first concert! I DOUBT YOU EVEN REMEMBER BEING THERE. . . but . . . I saw you guys do a show at a small (tiny) venue/bar in Rome, GA back in 2002. 36 CRAZYFISTS and GOD FORBID opened for y'all. I remember when this album came out! The band name and the album artwork drew me in so I bought the CD not even knowing what it sounded like and I LOVED what I heard! You guys were doing something totally different! Those awesome riffs and the samples and the drums and Mark's voice - man I was in heaven! I thought "FINALLY, I FOUND MY PERFECT BAND!" Then one day in school somebody said that y'all were doing a show that night in Rome! I thought, no way they're playing here! It's too small and insignificant of a city. So I called-out at my part time job and begged my parents to stay out late since it was a school night. Then there I was - with Chimaira less than 10 feet from me!!! (Was a great show by the way! Very intimate setting!) I even got to "hang" and chat and take pictures with Jim Lamarca and Chris Spicuzza And Steve Holt And Doc Coyle Without a special pass or anything! Everybody was just mingling around the small bar. Man that was amazing for my 16 year old self! I still have an autographed copy of PASS OUT OF EXISTENCE from that night! Thanks Rob!
@@RobArnoldWorld do you happen to remember how y'all ended up playing there in Rome of all places? (Such a small town and it didn't even have an actual music scene or anything) Was it like a side step from an Atlanta show or something? Or do you remember at all - since it has been nearly 20 years after all lol.
@@BrandonKJohnson Haha I think that sometimes the routing dictates where a band plays. For instance, maybe we were heading from the Carolinas to Florida, and wanted to play ATL. But maybe all the venues were already doing shows that day in ATL. So yes, we'd sidestep to another market nearby, rather than having a day off.
KILLER! heard your interview with doc. Very good podcast. You were indeed the most requested for that pod cuz we all wanted to know how you were. When you came out with The Elite I was so stoked. Glad you are in a good place now dude. Hope to see you soon!
Really love that you did Forced Life and Taste My... As sick as a lot of the real heavy material on this disc was, my favorites were the songs that were peppered with a bit of melody and had some of those catchy hooks.
@@RobArnoldWorld dude, I can't believe you took the time to respond! Sorry to be starstruck, but I am shitting my pants right now. If you get the time to read this, I have a story for you. First off I wanna give credit to the Headbangers Ball compilation that had "Down Again" on it for introducing me to your music and to the artist who had drawn the cover art for it, because even though I was already a fan of HBB that artwork really caught my eye and made me pick up the cd despite it being $18 or whatever at the time lol. Double disc didn't hurt either... I can't remember if that was 2002 or 2003. Anyway. My memory is fuzzy. It was either my freshman year '04 or sophomore year '05 --- in Arts & Humanities class we were learning about the different periods of musical styles, particularly renaissance, baroque, and classical. We had to do a project where we chose a song from modern history that would be comparable to those eras and analyze it as a Class. It was a week long project and everyone got to play their song in it's entirety for everyone to hear on a boombox. Most kids picked Brittney Spears, Biggie Smalls, Eminem, whatever country was popular back then. (Which is fine, but sort of missed the point of the project). And this was usually met with a lot of divided opinions amongst the classmates. When it was my turn, I chose "Implements of Destruction". Not only did the class sit through the entire song, NO ONE disliked it. It sparked some really cool discussions about the parallels between the symphonic classics and your track. As a metalhead who felt like an outcast, it was a very proud moment for me to show these people how fucking awesome metal really can be. And to see them be undivided" if only for 12 minutes. And the look on my teacher's face when she started to "get it". So needless to say, I got an A+ that day and it's all thanks to Chimaira!!! Love you brother
ITS YOUR FORCED LIFE My God does this album kick ASS! Life changer for me back when I was a 6th grader or something. Would be sweet to get just 1 more album like this!
A very underrated album Some great riffs on pass out of existence. OK its a bit different but that's what I love about chimaira every album has its own sound not many bands can do that!!! I'm a fan of every album I can't pick a favourite haha.
you are one of my favourite guitar players among other people like bill steer, jeff loomis, peter wichers, dino cazares, michael amott, christopher amott, michael keene and per nilsson
i can pause and hit play and get chills every time at some of these songs...such a badass and underrated album with such heavy ass fucking riffs and vocals
I love how trippy metal was during this era of time in fact one thing I miss from bands like Mudvayne, Chamaira, Primer 55 is that eerie psychadelic bad acid trip vibe that is completely absent from metal now
Amazing! SOOO great when you came out and gave the Nu Metal wave a kick in the nuts!! Saw you in Copenhagen on the Roadrage tour with Spineshank and Ill Nino. And how you were not the headliner is still beyond me.
Kasper Rottbøll Yup, they blew all that stuff out of the water. This album and Slipknot’s “Iowa” just obliterated the Nu-Metal scene. Much more death metal influence.
With each album you guys reinvented yourselves as your own genre. There is no other band that has chimaira's sound or groove. When a chimaira song plays, either one knows who it us immediately or one knows they've never heard this kind of sound before. You guys were never death, melodic, groove, or thrash metal. You were and always will be chimaira metal. Perfection of sound. Will always jam y'alls music.
My god that album's so brutal. I remember seeing ya's on the Machine Head, Fear Factory, Ill Nino tour thinking Ok, who are these dudes & let's see what they 're about. The following day the cd was in my daily rotation. & my neck was sore af. lol
How did i not know your channel existed!? Long time fan of Chimaira. I remember when i was about 14, i sat for days and days figuring out how to play Six by ear. i would constantly have the song on repeat to see how far i could get through it each time!
I remember hearing the song Gag for the first time as an 11 year old kid and being so struck by it. My dad had received a burned CD from a friend with some heavier music on it that he was about to throw out and I had gotten my hands on it. Up until that point I had only listened to classic rock and metal like Kiss, Van Halen, Judas Priest, etc. Needless to say, I owe that song and Chimaira in general for getting me into heavier music and broadening my scope and love for music. I didn't know it at the time, but it would become a huge part of my life. I still blast Chimaira in my car to this day \m/
I've always loved this album because it never sounded like a true "nu metal" album like Korn, but more like an Integrity/Disembodied album with a Fear Factory influence. Certainly a continuation of the old Midwest hardcore sound of the 90s.
Never saw you guys live, and you would stand No.1 on my bucket list!!!! You are one of the extremely rare bands that doesn't have "bad" song or album...
My first metal concert was the tour of this album. You guys opened for machine head and fear factory. Machine head was drunk and messed up a few times and mark played guitar with dino on replica and kinda butchered it lmao. But it was a great show. Got me into metal. Got to meet you guys and it was a real pleasure. Very nice to me and my friends. Never forget it. Thanks rob!
Oh man, happened upon this vid. Blast from the past. Chimara were one of my favorite bands. This album blew me away and still holds up today! Groovy as fuck! Thanks for the memories!
dude... we need chimera back! with all the current copycat bands out there, we need some old school heavy like this! Love you and your work dude! You are the best!

What model guitar is that?
the epicness of your youtube channel is almost too much for this planet
Ha! I appreciate that!🤘 Please tell your friends about it!👊

Please get the original Chimaira back together, I miss this 🤘🤘🤘
Wish yall got the old band together and did a tour with Lamb of God, Kill Switch and Devil Driver. That would be a killer bill. Cheers to you brother.
I would be down for this!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💯
Don't forget good forbid and shadows fall.
I agree we must be the same age
Especially if each band played all their banger jams from the first 3 albums they each released. Each doing an hour set at least.
This album was so far ahead of its time and if u listen to bands today like Emmure, Alpha Wolf and others you can hear this influence in it. Such a killer album 🤘
🤘
The groove is unmatched.
This whole album was my shit back in middle school. Good memories 🤟🏻
Split was the song that got me into you guys. Pass Out if Existence was dismissed as a numetal throwaway by those who couldn't look past the downtuning and no solos. So much rhythm and sneaky nuances going on with this record! Sick shit for sure.
Throwaway?? That's crazy.
Split is a nasty ass riff
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Yeah. Closed minded mothafuckers couldn't handle the downtuned riffs, screaming and no solos. Then Impossibility of Reason came out and shut all those naysayers up!!!
So bad ass. You guys killed it coming out with this album. I dont care what was said on the dehumanizing process DVD. I always thought this album was on point. And then you continued to step it up from there.
So true. The next two albums for me are legendary!
Agreed. Monte Connor needed shooting for saying Pass Out was crap! I loved it and listened to it to death and then some!!!
@@vxrdrummer why? It's a terrible album. It's like 10 different genres mashed together. There's talking vocals (even whispering? 'uh uh uh JADE' - sounds gay as hell), terrible guitar tone, random guitar effects thrown in because they thought they sounded cool individually. Not good at all.

That chimaira logo on the 12th fret gives lifts up my mood for no reason.
Takes me back to the days I used to listen to music on mini discs. Chimaira was one of my favourite bands .
Man, I remember when this came out. I think me and my friends were the only once that ever heard of it. We searched day and night for new bands haha. But when TIOR came out it was a whole new level.
This album and Impossibility of reason are my top 2 favs. I can't lie. So many good songs and riffs just on those 2 albums. Legendary shit. 🔥
These songs bring back so many memories! Thanks for the upload
Exactly the same
Sphere is definetly my favourite track off of this album. Just love the transition from one riff to another❤❤
Thanks for keeping CHIMAIRA alive. You guys will always be one of my all time favorites. Much respect, brother.
👊
One of my favorite albums ever made.
while you guys were touring this album and on tour w kittie you played in atlanta, ga. i was maybe 17 saved up to go and drove up there (i lived in augusta about 2 hours away) on a school night w my shitty first car. by chance i had my 7 string that i bought to learn your music. long story short not only did the whole band sign my guitar but you also invited me on the bus to hang out. it was the coolest thing that ever happened to me and still one of the reasons i play music. thank you!
🤘
I think you know how special this album was to so many of us...then the following 2 records and its a wrap.
GOATED
Such an high school album for me. Loved this on the cd player everyday. I had this album cover on a Tshirt in my yearbook photo. Damn those were great times
There's a special place in my heart for this album. It's what introduced me to Chimaira, and has some of my favorite riffs on this album!
This is why i still to this day i continue to rock out to chimaira!!! And your the reason i wanted to play a 7 string also!! Thanks bro
Hey Rob, How about a The Heart of it All Playthrough. That would be great
Passout...is one of my favorite chimaira songs
I couldn’t have asked for a better surprise today. The memories this brought back! Thanks so damn much for this Rob

Listened and played guitar to this entire album in high school and beyond. Good memories.
Fav Chimaira album by far! Ahead of its time 🤘🏻
This album blew my fucking mind back in the day. I was in culinary school in Florida and a dude in my class was like, "hey, check this out". I still play it from time to time!! Keep rockin!! 🤘
🤘👨🏻🍳
This brings back memories of the show you guys did on Farm Club
That's how I found them. Dead Inside!
My jaw was on the floor when my eyes beheld that episode of The Farm Club back in the day. As soon as Pass Out of Existence was out on RoadRunner records, I bought it immediately!

Thanks for reminding me how much I love this album, when this came out no one in mainstream had riffs this brutal! Amazing .
Thanks for tuning in!🤘
This is gold. This album is beyond nostalgic for me and blew my mind when I first heard it
Your riffs on Pass Out Of Existence are my favourite Rob, they really emphasize the heaviness and groove on each song.
Cheers brother!🤘
Perfect music to listen to during your gym workout 😎💯💪
Please chimaira come back, we need you !!!
Man I'm smiling!!
This is my favorite album from you guys!
This was my first concert!
I DOUBT YOU EVEN REMEMBER BEING THERE. . . but . . . I saw you guys do a show at a small (tiny) venue/bar in Rome, GA back in 2002.
36 CRAZYFISTS and GOD FORBID opened for y'all.

Those awesome riffs and the samples and the drums and Mark's voice - man I was in heaven!
I thought "FINALLY, I FOUND MY PERFECT BAND!"
Then one day in school somebody said that y'all were doing a show that night in Rome!
I thought, no way they're playing here! It's too small and insignificant of a city.
So I called-out at my part time job and begged my parents to stay out late since it was a school night.
Then there I was - with Chimaira less than 10 feet from me!!!
(Was a great show by the way! Very intimate setting!)
I even got to "hang" and chat and take pictures with
Jim Lamarca and Chris Spicuzza
And Steve Holt
And Doc Coyle
Without a special pass or anything!
Everybody was just mingling around the small bar.
Man that was amazing for my 16 year old self!
I still have an autographed copy of PASS OUT OF EXISTENCE from that night!
Thanks Rob!

A very underrated album Some great riffs on pass out of existence. OK its a bit different but that's what I love about chimaira every album has its own sound not many bands can do that!!! I'm a fan of every album I can't pick a favourite haha.
That secons riff on painting the white to grey, just before the verses, is my personal favorite. Its an absolute neckbreaker of a riff!
🤘
you are one of my favourite guitar players among other people like bill steer, jeff loomis, peter wichers, dino cazares, michael amott, christopher amott, michael keene and per nilsson
i can pause and hit play and get chills every time at some of these songs...such a badass and underrated album with such heavy ass fucking riffs and vocals
I'd like to think these vids are a precursor to a reunion..... Either way, loving it. Brings back memories of great times.
So many memories in one video. I still listen to this album all the time .
One of the most solid players ever so clean yet not forced just feeling it, while using proper techniques.
👊
I love how trippy metal was during this era of time in fact one thing I miss from bands like Mudvayne, Chamaira, Primer 55 is that eerie psychadelic bad acid trip vibe that is completely absent from metal now
Interesting and cool point!🤘
My favorite Chimaira album! Love all of them but this one is special to me! 🤘🏾
🤘
Amazing! SOOO great when you came out and gave the Nu Metal wave a kick in the nuts!! Saw you in Copenhagen on the Roadrage tour with Spineshank and Ill Nino. And how you were not the headliner is still beyond me.
Kasper Rottbøll Yup, they blew all that stuff out of the water. This album and Slipknot’s “Iowa” just obliterated the Nu-Metal scene. Much more death metal influence.
With each album you guys reinvented yourselves as your own genre. There is no other band that has chimaira's sound or groove. When a chimaira song plays, either one knows who it us immediately or one knows they've never heard this kind of sound before.
You guys were never death, melodic, groove, or thrash metal. You were and always will be chimaira metal. Perfection of sound.
Will always jam y'alls music.
That's awesome man🙏👊
Lumps will always be my favorite song from Pass Out of Existence, that breakdown is fucking sick, RIP Chimaira 😞✊🏾🤘🏾I miss y’all as a band
My god that album's so brutal. I remember seeing ya's on the Machine Head, Fear Factory, Ill Nino tour thinking Ok, who are these dudes & let's see what they 're about. The following day the cd was in my daily rotation. & my neck was sore af. lol
I love it!🤘
The only nu metal album I can appreciate
Now my day has been made!🖤
How did i not know your channel existed!?
Long time fan of Chimaira. I remember when i was about 14, i sat for days and days figuring out how to play Six by ear. i would constantly have the song on repeat to see how far i could get through it each time!
Awesome! You might like a new video I plan to drop soon!😉
I remember hearing the song Gag for the first time as an 11 year old kid and being so struck by it. My dad had received a burned CD from a friend with some heavier music on it that he was about to throw out and I had gotten my hands on it. Up until that point I had only listened to classic rock and metal like Kiss, Van Halen, Judas Priest, etc. Needless to say, I owe that song and Chimaira in general for getting me into heavier music and broadening my scope and love for music. I didn't know it at the time, but it would become a huge part of my life. I still blast Chimaira in my car to this day \m/
Awesome Tyler! That's rad!🤘
one of my favorite guitar players..
Refuse to See is one I would love to see, still one of my favorite songs after all these years.
Wow!🤘
I've always loved this album because it never sounded like a true "nu metal" album like Korn, but more like an Integrity/Disembodied album with a Fear Factory influence. Certainly a continuation of the old Midwest hardcore sound of the 90s.
Nostalgic, brutal memories came back rushing through my head!! Thank you Rob 🤘🏼😍🤘🏼
This is one of my favorite videos on the whole inter-webs.
🤘
Truly underrated and underappreciated album.
Never saw you guys live, and you would stand No.1 on my bucket list!!!! You are one of the extremely rare bands that doesn't have "bad" song or album...
I still listen to this album
🤘
Pass out of Existence is cool in its own special way. Loved how the groove and low tuning play out. Cool sampling/imdustrial style on it too.
Genios. Los escucho desde el año 2003. Son vanguardistas, de muchos subgéneros y fusiones posteriores.
🤘
Yes man!
Chimaira - the best of the best! You are the best of the best! 🤘
Thank you so much! ))
3:26 gives me chills everytime I hear it!
My first metal concert was the tour of this album. You guys opened for machine head and fear factory. Machine head was drunk and messed up a few times and mark played guitar with dino on replica and kinda butchered it lmao. But it was a great show. Got me into metal. Got to meet you guys and it was a real pleasure. Very nice to me and my friends. Never forget it. Thanks rob!
That's awesome Randy! And yeah that was a fun tour man!🤘
Oh man, happened upon this vid. Blast from the past. Chimara were one of my favorite bands. This album blew me away and still holds up today! Groovy as fuck! Thanks for the memories!
Rob you're playing is so powerfull and magnificant 🤘🤘🤘🤘Please don't stop playing music 🤘🤘🤘🤘And i wait for original CHIMAIRA 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
👊

Thanks dude! We'll see!
My favorite album from you guys! Banger from start to finish
We desperately need the original lineup to reunite! I know there's more gold in that mine!
I use to jam the hell out of this album when I got my job in it’s beginning years. Great memories connected to this album man!
