[horriblequin]

ESSENTIAL SALTS!!!!

[MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn]

George needs to see a doctor because he is so sick \m/

George needs to go to a psychiatrist because he is so crazy \m/

[batako0o]

Georgee ruleess!!!!! 

[bigrizzleful]

nile is a fucking tasty band, that shit gets the blood flowing, i had my school dj play this song on my prom night. gotta say...people fucking head banged like crazy

[VLDrums]

awosome!! one foot swivel blast kollias rules!!

[Angelrat70]

@theloko666 The Essential Salts, from Ithyphallic ;)

[farmsen666]

boring song but very good drummer

[666aznpride666]

kollias is god

[antibulletdodger101]

is that ugly guy Devin Townsend?

[malacasumbao]

Nice!pretty fast :)

[donpaleton]

what brand of drums is using?

[Jleedrummermetal]

@donpaleton Gabriel frums

[co2gas]

what the fuck...no dynamic in this what so ever,just full noise/speed all the way through.boooooooorrrrrrriiiinn­nngggggg. sweet drummer though.

[DmitriMironov]

I love George but i still like Tower of Power :-)

[soummobd]

he is impossible

[jcaldape80]

i like this RABIA!

[ultimarevision]

Brutal!!!

[natepogue]

that's not an epic windmill fail... he's barely even headbanging in a circle. looks pretty obvious he's just feeling the music man. in other words, you and 26 other people are retards

[deathmetalben]

@natepogue At first i thought it was funny but now i realize that your right dude hes just one fat camper and hes drinks a lot so he'd probably fall on his ass trying to windmill. NILE RULES

[K0L0NTAJ]

this is killing music! Too many tunes. too much mess! Each hit should be juicy and enjoyable, that's my opinion... Respect too drummer for speed, but sadly no feeling, which is drawback of death metal:/

PS: I really enjoy melodeath (eg IN FLAMES) but THIS is rubbish:/

[derossi13]

@K0L0NTAJ just take a closer look to Georges (the drummers) face, and tell me again, that there is no feeling! anger, tension and wrath are also feelings, wich can be expressed in this music.

to many tunes?- not enough musical comprehension, to see through this kind of music and realize whats going on! and anyway, if seen nile live, twice, and they kick major ass!

nevertheless....in flames arent bad ;-).

[MrMetalheadtildeath]

@K0L0NTAJ sucks really bad huh

[watchyourst3p]

machine!

[NoiseIsALive]

no, hehe he still my drum heroe

\ ,, /

But I still a little jealous XD

[NoiseIsALive]

Hehe now I hate George since my girl saw his fucking face and liked him, XD. Now I`m a little jealous XD

[GREEKpower93]

check the vibration at the left bass drum!!! he is extraordinary fast

[greecedrummer]

... hehehe gamato... katse kala... very good HAHA :)

[yikes00]

what a suck ass band! jeez it's horrific.

[ConorOrthoptera]

@yikes00 DIE

[MASSRCOR]

@yikes00 we'll have george put a knife on each beater and ass fuck you doing 16ths at 270bpm until you DIE!!! faggot.

[disconnect100]

I want to see metallica doing this, but they are posers and therefore can not

\m/

[ProV1XXXV]

George "The man who birthed Jesus" Kollias

[slipknotsk8ter89]

this song is friggen BEAST!

[MASSRCOR]

Kollias is my favorite drummer, but I think a live performance of NILE shouldn't be entitled "GEORGE KOLLIAS"... anyway... KICKASS F*CKING VIDEO!!!

[MASSRCOR]

what can you say? its NILE. its always gonna kickass no matter what.

[Acrylicdrums]

Speeds: 1.Fast...2.really fast...3.stupid fast...4. Kollias

[TOOLAREFCKINCOOL]

KOLLIAS THE BEST DRUMMER 20O5,2006,2007,2008,2009,2009,­2010 AND more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NILE MY FAVORITE BAND

[metalmutt123]

[KoKaTa]

[Gospel969]

i love this song, i reallly do !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poisonfree81]

O.O one word .... wow

[j03mal]

is he good or is he god

[deathwalkingterror88]

Jesus....sometimes i forget how fucking good Nile is and then i listen to them and shit myself.

[matrules1234]

u cant hear a fucking thing!! its awesome

[XxD1sturbedxX]

Excelent band.

[Erempors]

What's so bullshit about it then? Seriously. If you actually listened to the music you'd be suprised how awesome it really is. When you imagine the guitars to be choirs or cellos, you'd soon have a whole classical piece. Check out bands like Necrophagist or Spawn of Possession, for example. Now piss off and die before I'll kill you with my gigantic e-penis.

[JEKAZOL]

Quit the crying people. NILE are a fucking legend - and the're syill here. Maiden are the only band who are 100% real like these guys on the 'big' band scene. NILE!!!!!!!!!

That drumming is a lifes work. Respect.

[Brian77TX]

I love the riff starting at 3:01-3:02....but the album version is alot better....I know its live though...they dont ever make it sound the exact same way

[21sabiandrummer67]

@ 1:29 no offense to Karl but he does the most epic windmill fail ever lmfao

[Brian77TX]

I dont even think you can qualify that as even an attempt at a windmill  lol

[Arguus]

@21sabiandrummer67 no offense to Karl but he looks like somebody's AUNT

[rsman169]

@Arguus Colddd!

[Maggottothecore666]

@21sabiandrummer67 ahaha, perhaps he was only doing straight headbanging? that's still pretty good, though it did look like it was a tad flimsy

[pdm29615]

@21sabiandrummer67 karl is the fat guy what do you expect lol

[MrSatanochio]

@21sabiandrummer67 Who says he wanted to do a windmill ?

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@21sabiandrummer67 if you think thats a windmill go listen to hardcore, you're a disgrace to death metal

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

Psh Karl is an amazing song writer. Nile fits so perfect, everyone in it is fuckin amazing.

[DD8081]

look at karl around 1:30 lol

[JobForAGabby]

needs some windmilling lessons but you cant hold it against him =]

[Dimmuborgir6969]

remeber the shit they play is so complicated that its either the riff or the headbanging lolol

[trampledone]

i like this guy, but i like steve asheim better.

[Dimmuborgir6969]

you most be blind and retarded lol.

[ReubenOwl]

Everybody's aloud an opinion, so just stfhu?

[gkking01]

Everybody except raymanx and .. depending on your reply.. possible yourself as well.

[mikeportnoyfan]

man i don't like death metal, but to play drums like that takes a lot of fucking stamina, respect

[Vacketed18]

takes alot of fucking skills aswell ^^...Skills I wish that I will someday get :P

[Discreetarcher3]

YES! finally someone who respects death metal for its prowess. thank you lol

[gkking01]

Yeah. It's hard to believe he can last a full show.

[FractureTheBand]

@mikeportnoyfan You'll grow into it man haha.

[mikeportnoyfan]

@FractureTheBand

well there are some bands i listen to that have death metal influences such as cynic, opeth, btbam, but I don't know if I could listen to nile that often.

[DischordInMyHead]

@mikeportnoyfan fast and intense needs > stamina needs > good technique

[galatonim]

hey the bass player has nice voice

[Drumzzz22]

yeah too bad he's not in the video :(

[Sukraloos1]

The man's a fucking BEAST!

Damn I like Chris' growl

[Damnator117]

I want Karl's necklace

[777drummerofdeath777]

yeah ankh's are awesome!

[Damnator117]

And the eye of Horus

[galatonim]

Yeah me too

[Luxanthropy]

ReubenOwl xD lol

[shaunakbordoloi]

perfect chemistry between kollias and sanders......they r the beasts of death metal....

[mrkibbles369]

'cause it's live and it's death metal LOL

[Rhythm6of6Hell6]

So come back listen Tokio Hotel

[Stickmorder]

ROFL

LMFAO

[rigolith]

your mom is so gay ReubenOwl

[zefjurah]

Don`t mock Dallas` hair. It`s Übercool. The new trend. Look at Thownsend in S.Y.L.. I`m gonna shave my head like this too. It`s a quality mark.

[DeceitsEmbrace]

Yea true it's a proof that your a true metal head but you got alot of experience . but Devin shaved his head has you can see on is devintownsendproject myspace .

[Pepperjows]

dude... it's a skullet

[KRATOSLAYERKNOTDRILL]

man George is the fucking man!!!!!!

[Sullivanandfreinds]

not a fan of the band but the drummer is so fucking intense!~

[nostalgiacreep]

i wonder if one day people won't play death metal anymore and someone will find a clip like this and just go "wtf is wrong with these people?!" :D

[KrayzieBoneThug4Lyfe]

Dude that was my thoughts before I got into ROCK so just imagine metal LOL.

[nostalgiacreep]

:D

don't you just love how karl is built like an orc? :D

[KrayzieBoneThug4Lyfe]

Lol wtf xD

[NorvegianBlackMetal]

My favourite band

[Steve19891]

erik rutan needs to produce their next album, that'd be nuts

[luciferincestus]

He is gonna do it george said it on his forum AWESOME!!!!

[Steve19891]

thats gonna be insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ane

[BizzarAtmosphere]

amazing

[metalfucker82]

I love Kollias hehe omg.

[xDemonicSoulx]

HOLY SHIT!!! Even live george is like a human metronome. fucking tight

[DethMetalDrums]

The bassist is fucking sick, and has some amazing vocals as well. Too bad he doesn't get more credit haha

[Capero95]

If you want to look him up, search for Divine heresy it is his new band... or not his :P

[TimoGoesYootube]

i mean sanders

[TimoGoesYootube]

kollias looks like he's headbanging in slow mo xD

[Soilwar]

Every dude who says this is shit shall get his balls mumified right now! Nile's fuckin amazing! And George rules them all!

[777EZekiel]

Omg the bassists hair is soo awesome!!

[omgnuub]

[oddestofodds]

Chris Lollis

[VFB1210]

I THINK its Joe Payne. But I can't quite tell.

[DreamTheater4life]

the bassist in this vid is Chris Lollis

[onesogreat77]

did i hurt ya feelings berner with tha truth

[BERNER91]

We all know you're full of shit that about it....

[l0rdguest]

the 1 of many things i like about george is that hes so relaxed when he plays and makes the things he does soo easy

[MetalheadJC926]

satch2857 id like to see your idea of what the fuck dynamic composition is cuz that is one of the most idiotic comments ive heard. Compose one of Kollias' sticks up your ass, that might make a pretty sound, if that's what you're looking for. :)

[satch2857]

I don't get what part of that was enjoyable. A little dynamic composition goes a long way rather than just playing as fast as you can ALL the time.

[LiamTheDrummer911]

but thats what death metal is, and they have stuff with dynamics its not always just fast.

[cabraloca666]

Nile plays extremely dynamic songs, many of them actually rather slow.

In fact, Karl Sanders has studied MidEastern music for many years, which uses scales, vocal harmonies, improv techniques and "dynamic composition" that are far beyond anything in Western music (jazz, classical, etc)

You should learn more about music before you criticize compositions you don't understand just because you have a naive prejudice about the genre.

"Criticize things you don't know about"  -Steve Martin

[OmniscientVirtuosity]

Listen to more Nile noob. They are dynamic as fuck in their composition. Their albums have a wide variety of dynamics. I'm not the biggest Nile guy, but I've heard and studied all their albums and they have a very wide variety of dynamics and interesting song structures. To say they're one-dimensional is just naive

[ananddrummerforlife]

satch2857, you're being a douche. you obviously don't know Nile. they are very dynamic in their composition. anyone with good musical taste would agree, so why don't you fuck off, cuz you don't know what you're talking about

[tmergel]

Karl Sanders is always happy when he plays live, I love it. Enjoying what you do and having fun!!!

[MOPchickenbutt]

on number 4 i meant to say im NOT going to listen to what other people do

[Lyle667]

hehe BERZITI,, says it all about you,, only speed, no musical skills...well if it makes you happy to belive it.then what ever..

[josuke80]

Shit Kollias!!... Listen the REAL music in my channel! and knelt you!

[xboxanddrums]

brutal!

[Metalkevmo]

it's probibly just the quality of the camera and all the sound mix up's and whatever

[BERZITI]

bullshit music !

[zydrunassavickas]

fuck you

[ironmaidenno1]

look if you don't fucking like the music fuck off back to whatever you listen to.

[BERZITI]

If you dont agree with my comment its your problem! fuck yourself !

[josuke80]

This is Music?? hahahaha... this is shit!!! extreme shit!

[zydrunassavickas]

fuck you

[zydrunassavickas]

(taka-taka-raka-taka)? yes i call this music!!!!

[Lolsandwhich]

Musical skill. That's what I call it.

[BERZITI]

they dont have a musical skills ! only a speed !

[adamabra8]

You don't have english skills! Only a keyboard.

[Lolsandwhich]

Do you know what a 16th note is? It's double an 8th note, which he (Kollias) is doing with individual hands. 32nd notes are double 16th notes. He's doing 16th notes with his individual feet as well, but incredibly even. Speed requires timing, timing relates to the tempo and time signature, which all comes down to musicality. The guitarists have it no easier. The ability to growl correctly and play as fast as that is incredible.

[BERZITI]

grrrrrr-rakataka-grrrrrrrr-tak­araka -grrrrrrr!buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuu!

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

Music is not just about musical notes and how many one can do at a certain speed. Music is something that should touch the soul because the musican has something to say that needs to be heard. Growling and playing lots of notes really fast does not move masses of people in a spiritual way. no wonder sooner or later most of the these so-called metal groups eventually start playing music that masses of people actually want to hear just maybe because they grew up into maturity somewhat!

[avl2591]

I know what you're trying to say. I feel the same way about certain bands (Dream Theater, etc.), but Nile and other death metal bands do touch people in a "spiritual way". Just go to a metal show and you will see people headbanging, moshing, and growling along with bands.

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

If this metal band is true music then i guess about any punk rock band are true musicans also!hell RUSH'S drummer can speed drum with the best metal drummers but the difference is he plays with musicans that have something to say musically. Now if you wanty to go by what musical customers like then i would have to say metal looses and speed metal with all its growling and speed note playing losses even bigger because the customer who buys the CD's and attends the concerts desides!

[MOPchickenbutt]

1.metal is music, and so is punk, like it or not.

2.Shut the fuck up honestly,Niel Peart is an amazing drummer but Kollias's speed is in a league of it's own.

3."muscian's that have something to say musically"? i dont even uderstand what you mean to say.

4.We dont care what "musical customers" like, im going to listen to certain music just cause other people do, thats the whole point of metal, and music in general,you may not like it but the people who hold it dear love it,and will defend it

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

Well shit for brains, if you don't care what people want or like to listen to, don't play live concerts! stick to playing in your moms basement! Mr Shit for brains, metal didnt' start out that way. metal bands wanted to be heard just like all other musical groups! Like i said shit for brains, if ya don't want to be heard stick to playing in your mom's basement! Hmmmm listen retard, its not hard to play bad enough that you don't have to worry with being heard. That would take care of itself.

[ironmaidenno1]

only speed, dude if you even went slightly into any of niles musical ability you woul realise that they are far beyond that of many many many other musicians out there, it isn't just speed. George Kollias on the drums is amazing, and uses so much to create this. they are all amazing musicians and obviously you don't understand this.

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

I guess thats why Iron Maden tempered their musical style so they could sell gold and platinum albums. Iron Maden didn't just go for SPEED they went for music that would sell! The listen public decides how much success a band has! Don't like it, then the band should stay in the basement if that't truely how they feel. Don't give a crap what the public thinks then don't shoot for recording a album for sell because that means you want the PUBLIC to buy it!

[MOPchickenbutt]

no shit you fucking idiot, thats not what im saying.

How about you learn to read a fucking post.

Im sure Nile dont give a fuck about what you think of them, they have more fans than you could imagine.

Go listen to your pussy sellout bullshit you faggot

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

You're the one listening to shit music. as far as the faggot statement. that pretty typical of ones hidden desires when they make such statements and you're the one listening to s guy trying to sing but sounding like someone has a cock in his throat. Liek i said if NILE or any other band did not REALLY care about what people thought of their music they would not record it for sell. Unless they have a side job the have to make a living playing...shit for brains!

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

Sell out music? yea some bands sell out 30,40,50 and 100,000 person stadiums

every night!If NILE or any other band is not concerned with making money from their efforts then let them give it away for free....shit for brains!

[MOPchickenbutt]

Im sure Nile is concerned about profit, who wouldnt be? They just dont let commercializing their music and the want of money overtake the albums they put out, bitch

[Cryogenisis666]

but the thing with death metal, is there is an extremly devoted fan base. they are trying to sell to there fans not the masses.

[godisnomore]

FUCK DUDE, ILL ADMIT YOUR RIGHT

[Discreetarcher3]

and i suppose that pop music is the best music in the world right? because the pop industry makes a hell of a lot more money than iron maiden could ever dream of...

if nile can play at massive speeds like 280bpm etc, then im sure they can do slow shitty iron maiden songs besides i think your brain is just slow. 3/4 of the time its the musical media that premotes bands such as metallica and all the other metal classics. so i wouldnt use popularity in your argument dipshit.

go listen to st anger

[BetaSP]

I think the fatness of the band takes away some of the cool factor. Just saying.

[plato31]

Just saying?! Mate what I read from your comment was this: "I am a shallow prick more interested in superficiality than substance ... o and I prefer my men slim and tight". Don't take offence mate: just saying.

[gr1mf4c3d]

FUCKING EPIC

[derossi13]

George + Nile = <3 haha, no im serious, George is an amazing drummer, and nile is an amazing band

[evomination]

that dude is fucking sick. NILE!!!!!

[Sethlovessnakes]

sure its fast. and i applaud his skill. but it sounds like shit. goodnight.
