Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance + Blessed Dead (Wacken 2003)

[guisdo45]

The Rock on The Bass guitar.

[guisdo45]

2:35 - Let me check my Facebook ... just a second.

[camaro4ever222]

We Mexicans work the fields, too. Well...I don't.

[Russianmfkr]

I'd like to listen to the bassist's direct sound from bass without all the rest instruments. I believe it'd sound like porriage)

[BearWithDreads]

holy shit the bassists makes nile more brutal

killer line up and show

[rockismylife100]

thumbs up for crystal meth

[HabAnagarek]

Love the brutal bass in Blessed Dead - this is exactly what Nile is missing on their records.

[EfeitosDoOcioMusic]

9 people are relatives of the pharaohs, who buried the servants live, affording no tomb.

[deevon788]

ITS A SWEET RIDE MAMA

[200890c]

Damn, the bass was turned up during the second song.. Would have been better for black seeds as well..:(

[CrushinRuSSian27]

karl sounds funny at :39

[carlwh123]

I heard a story about this from the Kollias forums, apparently Tony was playing on other people's equipment because the airline lost his. He couldn't do the fast double bass with the pedals he was given, the sticks were a different size to normal etc. Sorry if this has already been posted or something.

[Metal69Rush]

Check out matt hardy on drums! \m/ \m/ SICK ROTFL!

[deathmetalfan91]

i think i like tony laureno as Niles drummer better than derrek roddy or george kollias

[drummerofhellfire]

@deathmetalfan91 george kollias rules!!! george kollis as a god @ blastbeats and averything else!!

[777EZekiel]

omg the snare sound aweful DAMN!

[AlexLancia]

@777EZekiel haha, its got a bark like no other

[Gospel969]

Kollias deserves play in a Wacken!!!!

[MorbidExhumation]

@jolle995

fuck you

[DreamTheater4life]

as much as i love nile, tony's feet suck here so much ha

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

@DreamTheater4life Yeah but it adds a depth of feeling in the music, unlike precise drumming thats highly triggered.

[brianwilson1986]

where you get the drummers t?

[witcherismyname06]

fucking badass motherfuckers , hail the egyptian king nile \m/

[ChiColdWar]

"Their carcasses will be consumed in the desert...."

[ChiColdWar]

"Their carcasses will be consumed in the desert...."

[varulv234]

Bassist at 0:47 is the essence of Death Metal. That just looks so fucking awesome.

[leanfiend444]

holy fuck i love nile.

[777EZekiel]

lol snare sound sucks ass .. .. and the drummer too :D HAIL NILE!

[Jleedrummermetal]

what??? you think tony laureno sucks??

[777EZekiel]

@Jleedrummermetal

sompared to the greek god yes :D ..

and because of his snare

[renshammar]

Put kollias in there and you have the best line-up ever.

[heramoth]

What happened to john vesano? Haven't heard of him for years.

[ibanez33150]

this drummer is ok.........Kollias is best ass.

[Metaldude1945]

Awesome blastbeats!

[NSGU]

Fuckin' love the part where Jon throws the horns to the camera. Badassness at it's best.

[NapalmFerret]

The Bassist is a beast!

[elvisman2000]

is the guy with the green guitar Chief Spires?

[SmashingTheAntiu]

it's a bass and it's Jon Vesano dismembering it

[elvisman2000]

jon vesano? not chief spires?

[TheJupetsu]

I love dallas voice

[travillion7]

Jon Vesano. Fucking badass.

[001draven]

Nile is tighter now than they have ever been- because they have the greatest extreme percussionist known to man- KOLLIAS!!!!!!!!!!! HAIL NILE!!!!!!!!

[sandyneosoft]

Nile's new lineup is technically better than this one, this one mades mistakes, but it's more... Natural, if I might say. The new lineup is good, but when you're watching these old piece's... They kinda fit together better. But still I wouldn't change the todays lineup.

From the shores...

[ShiftStyle]

the bassist has the BIGGEST fore arms ive ever seen

[blodbotina]

You haven't watched a strongman competition before, have you?

[ShiftStyle]

dont need to vesanos fore arms are teh shits!

[pablo2425]

Increíble estos wns... Brutales y técnicos ...

[borofrostbitten]

this bassist is animal!!

[TageVarulv]

Awesome. I like Laureanos studiodrumming more than Kollias, but Kollias is a better live drummer in my opinion.

[wertt1]

Laureano should get those sticks out from his anus.

[carlwh123]

This was definitely an Awesome Nile Lineup!

[CyborgPunisher]

@carlwh123 would've been more awesome if George Kollias was the drummer

[UnaDrinaNeretva]

@carlwh123 maybe the BEST! Karl-Wade-Tony Laureano! ! !

[themehhh]

i just wish that this line-up would have stayed. I've seen Nile live with Kollias and Lollis and it was godlike, but i still think that they were more brutal with these guys in the band..

[Longtom33]

tony's forearms are roughly the size of my thighs! check them out at around 2.03 & 2.15 mark :O

[swole700]

Tony is the drummer. The bass player is Jon Vesano. He does have some forearms that look like they are ready to choke the shit out of someone!!

[Longtom33]

ah yea, haha i ALWAYS confuse the two! yea i mean jon. shiiit man...those arms

[AdrianNtart]

@Longtom33 Jon

[Kubatykasymposium]

amazing...

[dcs2690]

The bassist is a fuckin psychopath lol

[geganobo]

the guy with green guitar

[JobForAGabby]

bass =]

[SHREDDER222X]

@dcs2690 Psychopath is a very short word!! Nile rules!!!

[BearWithDreads]

@dcs2690 nope hes metal

[sumsar01]

@dcs2690 driven insane by the awesomeness

[ChainsawGutsFuck]

2:14 - Would you like salad with that double beef sandwich sir?

[RabidxPanda]

who is drumming?

[Rebellion0915]

its tony loreano

[WMajchrzak]

Tony Laurenao u ment to say:)

[Cuppycake04]

No I don't think it is as he joined in 04, as far as I know.

[Blastrebation]

he left in 04, it is tony

[Dahnn666]

5:39 mexican flag !

[thrashmetalowns666]

maaaan the bassist is so fucking evil!

[woodstickfigures]

I love dallas' growl

[stefanosauros]

where is Kollias?

[wisdomvision]

that bassist is crazy :D

[drew3usa]

Tony Laureno played for Dimmu Borgir too I think?

Kollias is the fastest in the world as far as records go.

Roddy is the fastest technical player I'm guessing.

And yes Tomas Haake is fast in Bleed but still haha.

xo.

[tooldrums1000]

who is the drummer in that video?

[misantropo09]

Tony Laureano.

[tooldrums1000]

no its not tony isnt fat and doesnt have a black beard like that guy does.

[TimeForAPsycoHoliday]

people do lose weight and shave

[tooldrums1000]

This is true, but thats a lot of fat, but perhaps liposuction.

[BringerofDeath3]

Does anyone know why Jon Versano left? Or was he kicked out?

[Nomekiller]

Kicked out?? Are you mad, just look at the guy... No, he quit the band because he was also a truck driver besides plying in Nile. And he was given the ultimatium (i dont know by whom) to either quit his job or quit Nile, so he chose the latter because he loves his job.

[BringerofDeath3]

That's pretty interesting. I don't know why anyone would leave being the front man of Nile for being a truck driver. He's great for the job too. He obviously plays bass well and has great gutteral vox. Plus with those huge fucking arms, he looks scary as hell.

Thanks for the info!

[ginobrutalnile]

kollias rules...

[beer4life101]

how cool would karl look with a beard

[azreal66]

i have to say thatTony Laureano is one hell of a drummer ,he is on another level of drumming like derrek&kollias! hail nile!

[MorbidGuardian]

I'm so glad I got to see these guys live. It was such a fucking badass night.

[Pearlbrk]

nobody can manage to beat kollias !

[surtursfire]

schwing! you can actually hear the bass work in this vid. I'm glad. It's such a waste when badass death metal bands have badass bassists and you can't hear a single note they play.

[Deandude222]

lol. 0:35. Jon's face cracks me up.

keep it Metal, work those wings out. amazing band, amazing Deans lol.

[happojami]

fucking MASTER VOCALS!

[autopsy87]

as far as vocals go i prefer Dallas, then Karl, then Jon. Dallas has a fuckin wicked low. Karls vocals are creepy as shit on the album lol. great band

[Eklund89]

Tony Laureano looks really weird in this video :S

[Vissing]

Okay guys.. let me tell you something.. about the drummers..

Derek Roddy recorded all the tracks on Black Seeds of Vengeance.. exept To Dream of Our.. Pete Hammouar recorded that track..

Pete did all before that album..

Tony Laureano (in this vid) recorded In Their Darkened Sheines

George Kollias recorded the two new albums.. Annihilation of the Wicked, and Ithyphallic..

[hippygirlanna]

Man that drumming doesn't even sound fun, it just sounds like work. haha

[HALOGOD06]

nile for fuckin life

[dyingtoliveRWTF]

is that even george kolias

[nalgasofdoom]

*tony laureano

drummer on BLACK SEEDS OF VENGEANCE and IN THEIR DARKENED SHRINES

[vacateistheword]

actually its only In Their Darkened Sheines.. he's a kick ass drummer though this vid does not put that across.. mite want to see dimmu live at wacken 07.. he was outstanding

[HALOGOD06]

no george kollias didn't join till 2005

[poopiechest]

if so he got fat. I dont think so. it doesnt sound as good.

[chiefbuzzer]

The drummer is john longstreth, he had about a week to lern the parts, which he didnt play perfectly!

Don't like the snare sound at all.

Still, great drummer, great vid.

[Trivmvirate]

What? no man, fail.

That's Tony Laureano.

[yoeasypunk]

the way the video was put together is amazing and this performance is awesome too.

[videochamp23]

NILE FOR LIFE \M/

[thethirdandthemortal]

I Think this is the best Nile song !!

P.S. I like the Myrkskog T shirt that Jon is wearing .

Myrkskog kick ass too , but nothing compared with NILE!!!!!!

[travillion7]

What happened to Jon???!!! He's fucking crazy live!

[MBishop85]

Jon chose his family and day time job because he said thar future of death metal is unsure.

[travillion7]

I see. I can respect that. I'm married, and she is my number one priority even though I'd love to be in a band like Nile. Well, Jon was awesome. One of my favorite bass players/vocalists. Horns up!

[MBishop85]

So we understand each other. I'm married too and I think Jon was very charismatic frontman.

[Grant117]

The future of death metal is unsure :O? Its more popular than ever, and where did he say this? But there is almost no money in playing death metal Cannibal Corpse sold 1 million albums and they make like 40-50 grand a year...

[MBishop85]

that's what jon vesano said. why do you even bother to write me what i already know. learn to understand what others are trying to say, please

[Grant117]

I was just making a point does wasn't directing it to you, I just wanted to know where and when he said this so I replyed to your comment. Learn to not be a douche.

[MBishop85]

there is no need to be rude

i haven't said anything offensive to you

[althotas]

awesome line-up! dallas has a lower voice than jon, and karl. this guys are like super beasts. NILE = one of the greatest musicians to ever walk on the planet.

[Mikemetalman]

tony's kicks wer not very gud in this vid, hes still an amazin drummer thou. Derek and george they hav been their most significant 4 nile.

[StealerAG]

6:35 ---> KICK ASS

[StealerAG]

Joe vesano is a fucking beast!

[thebest123666]

3:11-3:15 i notice that tony laureano has a saw blade i have noticed this before is that a saw blade or a weird cymbol

[antipunx]

i think it's a cymbal that zildjian (don't think i spelt that right) makes...it's got a strange sound though

[Doom75]

Their best line up?... Only if you replace tony laureano. He very overated. Very poor drumming live. Maybe only in this gig. The kicks are awful! .

[messypoo1349]

this had to be their best lineup.

[thepactissealed]

who the hell is doing the growling? all three of them?

[beer4life101]

yeah

all three of them take turns

pretty unique

[beer4life101]

that bass player is fucking insane

[mbdrummer08]

agreed

[RockinOscar]

i concur with your agreement

[ahmedsamy]

best death metal band ever \m/

[BeastOfMetal1989]

And thanks to Tony for making this live vid so awesome!

[BeastOfMetal1989]

I think this would really be a very good time to recognize ALL the drummers who have worked their magic w/ Nile over the years:

Pete Hammoura -Nile Demo(94) -Festivals of Atonement EP(95) -Ramses Bringer of War EP(97)  -Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka(98)

Derek Roddy -Black Seeds of Vengeance(00)

Tony Laureano -In Their Darkened Shrines(02)

George Kollias -Annihilation of the Wicked(05) -Ithyphallic(07)

[vacateistheword]

Man someone who actually acknowledged tony laureano's drum work... thats a relief bud.. the in thing these days seems to be tony bashing at drum forums for some fucking reason.. fuckers forget ravenous... the inexorable.. conquering south america.. 'shrines.. tony owns man.. atleast for me!

[ahmedsamy]

Nile \m/ best death metal band ever!!!!!

Karl and Dallas are my favorites!!

[MeanMrMe]

Vesano Owns... One of the best frontmen of the underground.

[rainingblood0187]

The Scourge of Amalek is Upon You!

[damb83]

Now this is real Death Metal! not that fucking GAYCORE bullshit trend, that everyone is so fucking into, fuck that Hardcore bullshit! true Death Metal! 4 ever!

[Symboliczero]

onda....q yo no copie nada

[BehemothNZ]

Lets see if Tony Laureno can do The Essential Salts.

[Sakkuriru]

Can you? Don't knock on what you can't do.

[hevox]

Dallas vocals are superior to both Karls and the other guy.

[DreamTheater4life]

Tony just looks to stiff when he's playing to me...George looks much more relaxed. It just may be me though

[ahmedsamy]

Nile the best band ever!!!!!!!!

i am the biggest fan!

[hecatombrevelation]

NO I AM

[ahmedsamy]

No, i am the biggest fan :D!

look at my work and see how its influced by Karl Sanders works! and wait for my new death metal band!

[hecatombrevelation]

Im in a Blackend Death Metal band

[Incisionator]

how the fuck can people say Laureano is true speed compared to George ? that's bullshit. George is better (unless Laureano is having a bad day)

[hecatombrevelation]

George kills this guy

[nilefan45]

kollias plays the blessed dead faster but this video is still good! the snare is just too loud lol.

[rottenroth]

Is it only me that thinks they ruined the wacken show with brining tony on it? I mean check the drumming he sucks there its WORTHLESS i know nile can do alot better. Like his snare is fading out all the time on the blasts cause he cant hit hard long enough and hes double bass aint good and his snare sounds like shit and you barely hear the crashes cause he hits like a fucking pussy! They should have got derek roddy for this gig instead as they did on black seeds of vengeance album.

[thewererabbit]

was george k not with them at this point? he could've done a fucking amazing job

[azreal66]

its only u who think in this way,trust me! tony is one of the best extreme metal drummers out there,and the drumming has some technical prob, cuase of the video!!he is one of the best out there ,and was said by derrek roddy!! and kollias!!i mean just hear him on the blessed dead!! fucking brutal!!

[vacateistheword]

Great sticks from laureano but it woulda been more fun if he played out the double bass full blast man!!!

[MoonOvIce]

Can I flag this as "too awesome"? anyway, there's a little issue with the video though, the vocals are too loud, the drums too loud, the guitars too loud and the audience can barely be heard...also, Jon Vesano sounds kinda tired here or is it me?

[thispagesux]

who's that drummer, is it laureano?

[brentbumgarner]

I think the Nile version w/ Jon and Tony was sick...Jon Vesano was a killer frontman. I think he is working on his own shit right now.

[heramoth]

He's probably lifting weights or something.

[homelessathome]

their new bass guitarist is fucking awesome chris lollis is his name=)) saw em yesterday live in hamburg, germany.

[MoonOvIce]

Yeah I saw him too when I saw Nile with Skinless and Chthonic here in New York...he's pretty awesome, I met him outside and does some outstanding vocals besides being a really good bass player...well, to play with Nile you have to be pretty much an amazing bass player or drummer or whatever...

[catdogpoop5]

i lvoe nile... i wonder what jon is doing now.... hes so fucking huge .. holy crap... his arms are as thick as my neck lol

[bustenirules]

damn!!

[DreamTheater4life]

that would be Joe Payne I believe

[HoracioAmiritoDiaz]

Thats is Jon Vesano.

Joe Payne joined Nile in 2005.

[joeacey]

na man in this vid its Jon

[sledgehammer6y]

no, it's jon vesano

[joeacey]

yes i know that is wot i said you fool

[NeroAngelo616]

So what's Jon doing now?

[joeacey]

haha i bet Jon is crushing ppls skulls with those massive arms of his

[sledgehammer6y]

loll

[homelessathome]

his fucking name JON not JOE!
