  • lol i laughed at karls laugh at 9:39

  • Can someone tell me what type Dean is Karl using. Or is it Dean ML 79 TBZ and Karl has put there black pickups etc?

  • @LatexLate Yes i think so, it looks like it

  • the four finger diminished thingy returns!

  • 13 people accidentally hit the dislike button instead of the like button.

  • esp. karl is hell of a good guitar player. and talkin about the tone: thats just what it sounds like when u sit down with an amp without further conditioning.

  • 2 guys with some of the worst tones I've ever heard, don't know what they're talking about, and terrible technique?

    yeh, I totally wanna learn from these guys.... 

  • @SUPitsDave

    pfft, your gay... these guys fucking rule and own the shit outta most guitarists. amazing song writers and total shredders to the max. listen to karl sanders solo stuff. it's all tipppy drum music with persian style guitars. it's sick.

  • @420protoman You're**

    I refuse to take advice from a balding man who says "you can start in any key you want... lets start here on this note.... and go to this note (whatever it may be)"

    "trippy drum music with persian style guitars" ... right... you were obviously the smartest sibling, yeah?

  • @420protoman

    lol i teach music theory there buddy.... it's best to be able to pull a scale in any key you want... you're never going to progress at guitar if you make learning barriers in your own practices.... learning scales in any key you want is how marty friedman teaches also.... you sir are retarted

  • fuk the pros

  • I was actually able to hear the notes Karl was playing. His tone needs more reverb and delay>

  • listening to black seeds of vengeance i never thought about how insane the riffing was but seeing it- holy fuckin shit!! i need to see them live before i die.

  • Bwahaha....mega impressive.

  • wow. these guys suck ass at shredding lmaoo. do they know what keys are?! LOL

  • Nile is the only band that I can truly say is my favorite of a certain genre. Karl and Dallas are my fucking heroes.

  • 8:32 HARDEST FUCKING STRING HITTING EVER!

    Moments Later...."Hell Yea"

  • erosion of the plectrum love it

  • man, those poor strings hahaha, anyone else notice karl like...took the volume and tone knobs off?

  • @tango616 they actually talk about that for a while on another video. they do that to achieve more of a direct connection from the pickups to the amp, with no knobs or anything in the signal path.

  • "Fuck the beginners."

  • @nemesiskorn they are very skilled! it just sounds messy because of their very deep tuning and the unbelievable speed. and that's exactly what makes you think they play the same patterns over and over again.

  • i don't understand why there are people which don't like nile. i mean it is impossible to not like them, they are fucking metal gods!

  • 12 people obviously don't play an instrument

  • @sweeps91 i dont play one but i still like that so better say: 12 people obviously dont play an instrument AND are retarded ;D

  • come on man, down with the reverb

  • damn, karl hits the string like there's no tomorrow o.O

  • Haha Karl's massive forearms and ham hands look like they could crush the soul soul out of that Dean. Seriously though, Karl is an awesome musician and a great guy - he's always willing to talk music and gear with a fan.

  • these guys fuckin rule!

  • "FUCK THE BEGINNERS"... love it :D

  • I think its amazing what those huge ass muscles on Karl's forearm can tell about the way he plays

  • @Achorafa Or its just fat o.O

  • 8:58

    Try using Rogaine instead of Ultra Gain, Dallas.

  • rofl, considering the insanely heavy music they produce, they're such lovelable, goofy guys

    the face dallas pulls during his warm ups are hilarious

  • perfect synchronization...

  • I wish I thought of drop A first....

  • What's the song they play after Black Seeds of Vengeance?

    

  • Dude ther are completely ripped

  • What pedals is in Dallas pedalboard?

  • Karl sanders is a fucking god!

  • Is that a jcm 900 or 800?

  • Karl Sanders his left hand hardly seems to move.. so that's cool..yeah :)

  • \m/ FUCK¡¡¡

  • Apart from the fact that they're making damn good music, they are absolutely personable! I saw them live and they had fun while playing there music thats why we had fun too \m/

  • Hahahahahaha you gotta love the face at 3:33 after he finishes that run. He's like :D

    Shit's fucking hilarious.

  • @jmann114

    Troll face :P

    (look it up on google if you don't understand me)

  • "fuck the beginners...."

  • I love how Karl's a brilliant guitarist, but uses terms like "this way across the fret board" xD Humility :)

  • damn i guess he knew he got put down with out getting a answer back he just put his head down lol

  • I would like them to make some full videos with tutorials, a dvd or something.

  • HALLÅ!

  • my band used to practice next door to these guys here in Greenville. Once they were rehearsing for their tour and we were in our rehearsal room all drunk playing "The Hunter" by Dokken and we blew the power out. They were pissed. They are really good guys though.

  • I like when Karl says "fuck beginners" at 4:36, that's a good message to send out. I'll admit I'm far from the best guitar player out there, but its hard to back up a comment like that when you play like a fat drunken ape.

  • Dallas reminds me of the guy in the move Fat Ninja in the way he talks. He talks like he can actually play in very teacher like voice and then he plays totally terrible! Both these guys are playing totally sloppy and are using like a TON of effects to hide behind. And the Karl guy seems retarted? No seriously now, not joking, is he? They take themselves seriously and thats entertaining in a tragic kind of way I guess.

  • These guys are some of the biggest names in metal and here you are talking about how dallas is a retard and they hide behind effects. for starters douchebag the only effects used is a roland guitar synth to help with the eygptian sounds. the rest is the marshall dsl 2000's they have. if you think you have the right to call either of these guys retarded you should spend alot more time playing guitar and alot less time bitching about vids on youtube.

  • I said Karl seems retarded, not dallas. And just because they are (according to you) "some of the biggest names in metal" does NOT give them the right to play sloppay as shit guitar and get away with it..

    Britney is one of the biggest names in all of the music industry, I guess you are a big fan? Some day you will laugh at yourself for trying to defend the lousy playing dispalayed by these two "musicians", when you grow a brain that is..Or maybe that should be IF you ever grow a brain.

  • @Chris741113 in many ways it's good to take your music seriously.

  • @ddrumdude

    Didnt I say they take themselves seriously? They talk the tlak but definetily dont Walk the walk. They play like total shit, but Dallas is talking about his playing as if he is a visrtuoso or something. Hubris?

  • @Chris741113 that's your opinion. I reckon it's pretty ignorant to say that they're not good musicians. Plus, the tuning's in drop A. It's harder to make the guitar notes sound more noticeable because it's so low. Their music has great atmosphere and the drumming is insane, that's my fave points about them.

  • @ddrumdude

    Well. I reckon it's pretty ignorant to call them good musicians when you yourself apparently cannot hear what they are doing...? Because of the drop A tuning..So, how do you know they are any good? I have looked around here on YT after being totally fascinated by Karls useless playing in the Betcha Cant Play This section, and comments by apologists explaining he is normally sooo much better than that. Well, I have now seen several vids, and it all sounds like mushy, beginner shit.

  • @Chris741113 if they got to where they are today then I rest my case- they are good musicians. I rest my case. Youtube wouldn't accept my last comment so I'm just gonna say that.

  • @ddrumdude

    Aha, so you mean that you dont really know wether they are any good? You base it on their "success"? So I guess you really rspect Britney and her like then, I mean how could she possibly be where she is today if she is not an absolute world class musician then? I rest my case

  • @Chris741113 nah I just cba to argue with ignorant idiots like you. it's not worth it. I may not be a guitarist but I know that you probably couldn't play the stuff they could.

  • @ddrumdude

    Ah, so its idiotic to think this is mushy shit playing?

    How about yourself moron? You dont plays guitar, You cant really tell they are any good because of hte drop A tuning (This according to yourself) But you are convinced they are master musicians because enough trailer trash, insecure, acne covered boys are fascinated of Niles weirdly named songs and their teacher like, know it all attitude, and buy their stuff? Who is the idiot again? I dont WANT to play their stuff. But I could

  • @Chris741113 youtube wont let me post my comment on this vid so i've put it on your channel instead.

  • 4:07

    que cara de ervertido pone cuando toca la guitarra XD

  • lol at 0:24 to left corner. I love Karl and Dallas' facial expressions they're hilarious

  • Karl uses an assload of reverb.

    Also

    What's the gnarly green drink he takes a sip of? Anyone know?

  • 3:34 4:10  AAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA they are funny

  • Comment removed

  • They must play with each other, fucking amazing

    Btw why Dallas doesn't shave his head?

  • he has

  • He did cut his hair? When? Never seen pics.

  • @ChroniCraig yea its funny because when i saw Nile in Milwaukee I talked to Dallas without recognizing him until he went on stage

  • @41184140 Because he looks awesome with that hair.

  • he did now

  • Look at Karl's T - Shirt , its totally worn out haha :)

  • dallas and karl were born to play with each other

  • im gonna go out on a limb and say these guys smoke pot

  • I bet they do, several fans claim to have hung around with them after shows (plus smoking pot)

  • @TomAR4YA this is bullshit they dont smoke

    but I can bet they are drunk ?:(

    \,,/Priest ov Sodom\,,/ S.I.N.

  • This is a bad thing why?

  • @kevinbowers74

    of course they do. Its not like they just sit down and pull the crazy shit they play out of their asses.

  • @kevinbowers74 you are 100% right i know karl sanders he lives in my city him and his 14 yr old son (kale) both do

  • im really glad that when karl talks about going down, he means going to the lower strings, and by lower i mean lower in pitch. i hate it when people say low to mean the strings closer to the floor cuz it always confuses me

  • couldn't agree more matey

  • ha karls smile at the end of showing his warmup riff is so funny 3:36

  • @ffguru15 karl always smiles throughout every show. like, he knows hes badass haha

  • awsome video

  • 0:52 - Karl is like "Wow wow, what the fuck man, what did you say", makes me laugh everytime.

  • @eternalsolstice

    Yes, ;-) but Karl Sanders and Dallas and the original formation are from South Carolina! ;-) stay BRUTAL!

  • I fucking love Nile! these guy are awesome!!

  • awesome!!!!

  • drop a right?

  • Nile is from south carolina

  • George Kollias is from Greece :)

  • "Warm-up with Dallas and Karl" or "How to deplete your plectrum a millimeter per minute" - There can't be much left of those picks.

  • @Muqqe

    Vaporised of the enormous friction :P.

    They should actualy make a Psycho Exercise (like the one from John Petrucci) from this video :P.

  • @000metalhead000 There's a slight problem with that. Can they play one billion notes per second like JP? Can they go into kill mode like JP? Can Michael Angelo Batio drop from the ceiling with his Quad Guitar and slice your head off via cue from JP? I also don't think their guitars are painted by Michael Angelo (the painter) and have strings by Ghandi.

  • @XAlphaZEROX

    Trve, very trve, I definately lol'd. But you're right. I was just thinking of it, and thought it would be funny to see something like that :P

  • ROFL karls laugh! what a fucking BEAST!

  • Who are you to say that ? pffff

  • haha loser

  • @subjulio THANK YOU.

  • @subjulio Apparently you don't know too much about the band. Karl writes 99% of the the music for Nile including the drums.

  • @subjulio

    You do know Karl (the blonde haired guy) writess just about everything in Nile

  • @subjulio wow.. u are an idiot XD stop be jealous u justin beiber fan faggot

  • @subjulio What exactly is an authentic technical approach?

  • Love Nile!

  • i thought karl sanders was the guy with the black hair... :( now i think wrongly if i said i dont like dallas I LOVE HIM!!! HE HAS AN AWESOME GUITAR

    i love nile but whats the drummer? he looks like a greek :S

  • Their drummer, George Kollias, IS actually from Greece ;)

  • great!

    he has outstanding skills

    any1 know whens the next nile album coming?

  • it came out already!

    i got it yesterday

  • cool

  • niles drummer IS greek

  • i also really like how these guys can play most of their stuff on the spot

  • wow i actually learned something this video

  • dude karl looks real sick

  • No matter how you look at it...those strings are GAUGED.

  • lol. Dallas is thinking 'Karl wtf, pay attention to the interview not that bottle of green shit!'

  • is karl albino?

  • i think he is

  • Now, these two guys are f*cking awesome!

  • i actualy know them personaly. there from south carolina and my dad knows karl vary well. hes a really cool guy. i got to go back stage at ozzfest 07. haha it was crazy shit. haha

  • at 4:55 it goes from kidding around to unleashing satan. Its always badass to see two guitar players that in sync with each other

  • LOL AT 3:35 shiit!! hahah Karl is funny

  • hey does dallas have that like premature balding thing?

  • They're both in their mid to late 40s. It's very typical for people to be balding around that age...

  • OHH... i thought they were like 20! they look pretty good for 40

  • dean guitars rule

  • You can hear how hard Karl picks his strings. I wonder if his strings always snap...

  • tone is a little muddy, it would be nice if it was a little clearer, but other than that their playing is awesome

  • Karl Sanders looks like a Swedish mom.

  • lmao

  • hahahahahahaha:D:D:D

  • Swedish moms are epic guitar players.

  • Do they tune to A,D,G,C,F,A ?

  • A E A D F# B

  • Nile is the best death metal band out there today.

  • lol. Karl looks so bad. xD

    Puttin' on some weight.. hair's starting to thin out.. :P

    Still metal though! Sick playing

  • Karls 45, yeah touring takes a toll on him.

  • haha, the bass EQ is on 10, their shit is so bassy, yet awesome

  • I just love Karl sanders' guitar model , the KxK Warrior V. I wish i could play on that

  • nile is fucking amazing. it blows me away how they sing and do all this. such a talented band.

  • i met karl. you would never take him for a metal guy at all. he's very well spoken and polite.

  • Same, he even called me "sir" when i schook hands with him.

  • Wow! when they speak they sound simple, relaxed, easy and shit..they seem to be good fellas...not like some "ARRRGHH IM GONNA KILL YOU IM SATAN" stuff..reminds me of Ralph Santolla

  • karl has too much bass in his eq

  • it's cause they're suing marshals for metal.... they have no bass what so ever but it's probably cause those are the amps they had to use at that metal mag place

  • no they use marshalls for live and studio

  • It's drop A tuning isn't it? It's gonna sound deep

  • MetalHammer is so shit

  • i find it so cool that in nile there is no lead and rhthm guitarist...they share the song...first karl, then dallas solos..its really cool...also the vocals...

  • Karl is a man!

  • I love how noticeable it is that they absolutely love to play their tunes and this music. Nile is one of the best in the genre.
