Video interview with Dallas and Karl from Nile

DDDorian · 11-18-2007, 01:22 AM

MetalKult » NILE: The MetalKult Interview

Cool interview, with a few licks and a KXK plug, swoit

Actually, the whole Metalkult blog aint half bad, although it makes me wonder, if the Guitar World kids know so much about current metal why are they beating off Avenged Sevenfold in every issue?

Apparently there's a "Betcha Can't Play This" from the Nile lads in an upcoming issue too, so I'll have to keep an eye out for that...

zimbloth · 11-18-2007, 01:50 AM

Ya I posted this in another thread, good to see its getting its own thread though. This is very cool. Karl and Dallas rule. I like his fretless.

Jongpil Yun · 11-18-2007, 02:09 AM

God Nile kicks so much ass it's criminal. Those chords are killer.

D-EJ915 · 11-18-2007, 02:44 AM

Cool stuff, but oh my god when they played together wtf kind of shit was that

the tone was so weird

plus 10 for B string on karl?

wtf I use a 14 on my baritone

karl: 70 50 38 17 12 10
dallas: 13,17,26W 38 48 70

crazy, I've got 64 48 38 28 18p 14, I should step it up for my low string

Zepp88 · 11-18-2007, 02:53 AM

Karl is such an oddball...

Just so you know Karl's guitars are baritones (27") as well, so that .010 is more like an .011. Still a little loose but a B in those gaues are fine if your technique is alright. Karl's technique is flawless he could use 9's probably

Well 48 = 64 tension wise, you should be fine.

PS: Their tone was weird because they were using backstage amps wherever the interview was setup. People usually don't use their real rigs in interviews like that. Their tube amps are too loud to crank up in an interview like that.

Jongpil Yun · 11-18-2007, 04:36 AM

Not to mention the mic job was weird. You could hear it get louder and softer and shit.

BTW, I use an .011 for my B.

D-EJ915 · 11-18-2007, 04:44 AM

well yeah I know that zimbo, but it sounded alright by themselves playing, but when they mixed it together it just went like wtf

I've got an 11 as my E on my 7...

angryman · 11-18-2007, 05:24 AM

I've never seen that before Dude but Thanks for posting it, I really enjoyed watching it!

Apophis · 11-18-2007, 08:31 AM

Really nice, thanks

zero · 11-18-2007, 01:09 PM

I'm going to see them on the 30th!!!! With 6 feet under, finntroll and belphegor.

maliciousteve · 11-18-2007, 03:42 PM

that was an awesome video. The 11 string fretless sounded frigging evil. tempted to get a cheap 7 string and take it's frets out

There was some real whacky phasing and other (software? different mic's/sources?) issues, maybe from editing, that was going on.

I like the way that Karl Sanders guy talks.

Something about it. It's different.

Kotex · 11-18-2007, 04:15 PM

^He sounds slow.

The Dark Wolf · 11-18-2007, 04:19 PM

Sorta, but not in a stupid way. Well... maybe a bit, like Slingblade or Forrest Gump, but he sounds real smart and articulate, too. Talking all that music theory and Egyptology.

I dunno. It's cool.

Kotex · 11-18-2007, 04:22 PM

lol. Yeah, he's for sure got that slingblade thing happening.

angryman · 11-18-2007, 04:37 PM

I don't know if it's just me but the 11 string's tone was way more brutal sounding compared to the 6.
Also I don't think I've ever heard a Marshall DSL sound that fuckin heavy either.

zimbloth · 11-18-2007, 05:09 PM

Karl Sanders is definitely not slow. Brilliant man, extremely intelligent.

DSL100 sounds great with the right tubes/speakers/pickups and a nice boost. That clip doesnt do it justice, low quality.

I don't think anyone is saying he is. He sounds slow, which is totally different.

To me, he came across as real smart, very informed. But I enjoyed the way he talks. It sounds cool, very unique and charming.

JJ Rodriguez · 11-18-2007, 05:59 PM

I think he just talks slow, it didn't sound like a drawl to me like he's some kind of slack-jawed-half-wit-mouth-breather, just like he was stoned or something, taking it easy

Awesome interview. Almost makes me want to fuck around with drop tunings so I can use those weird chords

stuh84 · 11-18-2007, 06:04 PM

Really enjoyed that, and now I'm on the Behemoth one. I'm a fan of Behemoth more than I am Nile, so I think this is gonna be great

This is how interviews should be done, really really cool

Variant · 11-18-2007, 07:05 PM

That was awesome... I love hearing those guys talk. TRUE death metal guys, knowledgeable, creative, understated, and all-in-all making brutal music!

Not everyone is an extremely articulate speaker, it doesn't make them unintelligent. In fact, there are a lot of very, very articulate speakers who don't know jack shit about anything. They usually become lawyers or politicians.

I think we put far too much emphasis on how well people communicate and too little on the value of their ideas.

BTW, what are the intervals between the two notes in each course on his glissandar neck? I'm pretty sure they're not octaves/doubles.

They are. He said it a few times when going over his string gauges.

DDDorian · 11-18-2007, 07:49 PM

What struck me about Karl is that every time he so much as looked as his guitar he went "WHOOOOAH YEAAAAH URGGGGGH METALLLL" and to be onest it kinda annoyed me, not nearly as much as that dodgy sound editing though.

Also, I found a little clip of his "Betcha Can't Play This" and... well... it fucking blew. It honestly seemed like one of those fake youtube dubs, I was waiting for him to hit the Herman Ri talent enhancement pedal at any moment...

Wow, I guess it's just the dissonant nature of sliding around a fretless fingerboard... either way, very, very fucking cool!
