I've never ever seen a band like nile play there songs without a metronome/drum machine but play at the correct tempo and remain to keep there riffage tight as hell! Fantastic musicians.

Nile is the most congruent death metal band I think I've ever heard. Every time I hear one of their songs Im transported to Ancient Egypt. I swear listening to them is like listening to a damn sound track

WHOA... DAT BLACK SEEDS OF VENGEANCE

we feel this guys really like playing together :)

Karl learned all his guitar skills from the Book of the Dead, using magick to call upon the jinn which wonder the egyptian ruins...

+Poop N Pee Sammich Proudly saw Nile when Dallas was sporting the skullet (a place called the Galaxy Theatre back when I lived in OC SoCal)... he looked like troll doll freak... he still is a freak of nature though... how many metal lead can do vox and play like him live?

***** The guy is just too perfect... he must have some serious skeletons in his closet.

They really are. I swear every time I watch artists like them just going at it my playing gets enhanced.

God damn, there is something about listening to metalheads playing "raw" that makes me crack a smile. I love this shit!

And the Gods of metal appeared from beneath the shadows. In their possession was a gift to the world. This gift was Nile.

Dallas and Karl are two of my biggest influences in guitar playing and I've noticed that I've started playing with that very closed picking stance of Dallas' while bobbing my head like Karl. In my opinion, it makes me play better.

4:37 "FUCK the beginners" xD haha

This video is so great !I enjoy to look their enjoyment for this music and want everytime to play guitar direct after I watched this vid

its so cool seeing these guys

Awesome. Thanks for posting the video. Hail Nile.

I love Karl and Dallas. Nile has such an amazing array of talent. Kollias is my favorite drummer, as well. All of Karl's guitars look sick.

thnx for uploading this

These two are such inspiration!! I love nile.

Thank you Nile!

Best cover of Black Seeds of Vengeance on youtube! Oh, hi Karl and Dallas.

These guys are amazing.I dont know how they do it!

these guys really love the music they're playing!

Their playing is just insane, inhuman.

omg the sound of Karls guitar... crazy

This is so metal omg :o, sometimes I wish they played without distortion cos then you really feel the energy behind the picking

I feel like a lot of people, including die-hard death metal fans just don't get Nile. I mean, (and this is just my own opinion) I think Nile are probably one of the most violent sounding death metal bands around. They're really isn't another band that sounds like them which depending on some people's opinions, may be a good thing. I wish there were more bands that sound like this though. There's just something about Karl and Dallas guitar tone or SOMETHING. I dunno man.

Just got into Nile recently...I was Into all the other Big name death Metal bands..but Nile ..is definitely in an league of their own...That Ep is with the skull .is my favorite as of now

hell yeah dude. I remember reading somewhere that Mahavishnu john mclaughlin said he was fascinated by how some players held their guitars. Plus videos of players like Karl and Dallas are super inspiring.

These guys r freakin awesome hail Nile!!! 💯

For Karl and Dallas they work great well great blends of tone

yep, their warm up is what i do at max of my ability, great

Excellent playing :O

2 of my greatest heroes

I like these two. Good boys.

and Karl Sanders looked like he was going MOOOOOOOOOOOO at the mic at any second during the gig.

this is so fascinating. freakin NILE are an empire

that marshall sounds like my metalzone direct to the mixer

They are Real Artists

YEAHHH that why i like Nile!!!

Dallas should really return to Nile....

I love that ml and one of those

Karl is the chillest guy ever

I love the way Karl nods his head while playing. "Yeah, this is fucking happening". This guy is a fucking legend.

Dallas: "heh we were just doin' it" Man im such a child.

damn this sounds so hard!! even without drums! fuck man! they are awesome!^^

they kick ass hell yeah

I love Dallas

This magic

i like them , Nile is a gigantic death metal band

Half into the song I forgott there werent no drums! Sounds amazing even with the guitars only!

awesome \m/

these guys are fuckin sick.. wow.. love it!

I like the way they talk.

I dont know how they play that they have perfect timing, perfect accuracy, and insane stanima.

they have some really great right hand picking techniques. It's hard to do that on a les paul cause it's not flat where your picking. It's a lot easier to pick fast when your right hand is on a flat surface.

Nile are gods

karl smile :D it quite awesome man!

karl's playing is so clean and tight

These are gods

SO FÃ DOS CARAS!

I love their fucking TONE!!!!

Dallas' face is priceless

that was a fucking GREAT video .. I love how they just totally throw down Black Seeds of vengeance.. and are totally just fucking around at the end of the video lmao good shit

HAIL NILE!

their deans are awesome...dean rules!!

I would loan my engl fireball 100 to these guys so i can sit back and watch them warm up then play a nile song of my choice

4:13 dallas is like "o yea u like tht huh? =D

im sorry but if i was the cameraman i wouldnt have been able to resist shouting along at the end, "BLACK SEEDS OF VENGUUUUUUUNCE!"

this video is fuckin wonderful!!! horns up!!!

neither of them use volume or tone knobs. they wire their guitars straight to the jack and use volume pedals. i saw a video where they explained why

Masters

these guys are the best when it comes to jam interveiws they way they will start jammin the explanations are the awesome. Theres always a thingy or bendy lmao.

i know it's the mic the tv people are using but Sanders sounds like he's playing through teabags.The technique's superb mind you

Ugh so brutal!

I think that Black Seeds of Vengeance is the favourite song that Karl has ever written.

the riffs in general are so cool, just check out Burning the pits... Karl said once that Dallas is a killer for impossible/beyond this earth riffs!

thei're fucking genious!!!!! I respect'em so much

hehehe..krusty the clown...Nile! they are brilliant!

three note string...thing look at dallas's face at 4:13 and listen to karls laugh at 9:42, LOL! these guys are amazing.

Nile is my favorite band!! and its the best band ever!!

fuckin awesome.

@ExplorerFreak " Hallo hier ist Frank von Metal Hammer und ich stehe hier mit Dallas und Karl ". Translated: " Hello, it's me, Frank from Metal Hammer, and i'm standing here with Dallas and Karl "

Yes, Nile lyrics are just about Egyptian Mitology :) Hail NILE

What an abstract sense of humor.

4:45 I thought Dallas was chucking away his pick! I wish they did more 'beginner' stuff, and I hope to God that someone films Karl's lessons while on their US tour. COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA!

At 2:28 He doesnt even look like hes trying They are awesome \m/

I love their fucking awesome egiptian style, hail nile! \m/

karl actually uses an 10-70 set i couldnt believe it when i first saw it, there like truck towing cables lol

dude, strings that big are amazing at low tunings, even though he only uses a .60 gauge, for a really bassey sound, use the GHB low tune set, the low .70 string kicks ass!!

wow.

These patterns are meant to be used anyway. I think that a lot of composers (if not all of them) use techs like that in songs. Which is fine, don't get me wrong.

Duncan invaders, straight to the pickup switch and then to the jack.

Nice tone LOL Really clean picking too haha

Dallas' shirt: "got frappe?" Now that's metal.

Karl's warmup uses the same diminished scale as the opening riff to Papyrus Containing(etc) /Theory noob

@Metalobsession94 Indeed they do. You can tell from this and other videos that these guys won't pack up Nile and leave it anytime soon. Dallas, Karl, George, they love what they do. Best kind of chemistry you can have in a band. -And their session bassist is now a full member =) I'm already dying for a new Nile record, and a new solo record from Karl.

as for volume knobs it is probably just because live they never use a clean tone, or if they do they have a seperate channel for i string gauge they talk about in some of their videos on Metalkult... I believe it is a custom gauge. Karl uses lighter strings than Dallas, but Dallas uses like an 11-70 with a wound 3rd

Good to see a video where Karl isn't hammered. He does need to cut down the reverb though.

LOL at karl's evil laugh xD

0:45 Dallas looks like he slammed a beer before this scene lol

I dont really like Nile, but I enjoy watching them play

so is dallas man.. =)
