Can you imagine, over twenty years ago before the internet got big, I had the first three Nile albums and didn't even know what they looked like? It was just the sound and the art. It wasn't until they played London that I found out!
Cool, thanks for sharing. Allow me to share something similar - I also came across Nile over 20 years ago via the RADIO, not the internet. There used to be a weekly rock show on radio 1 at midnight, and they played a track from BSOV when it was released. I didn’t catch the name of the song, but I made a note of the time it was played. I then wrote a letter to the station begging them to play it on the next show. They obliged, and that’s how I became acquainted with Nile. I went out and bought the album, and also went to see them play in London. Cant recall now, they might have been supporting the Haunted. I bought a Nile-branded lighter from that merch stall, which I still have. Good times - used to have a lot more time to follow lesser-known bands up and down the country. Working and raising a family has mostly put an end to that, but I’ll still catch the odd gig when I can.
hell yeah. i was there too. i still remember what to me looked like millions of people standing in front of that nile stage (where slayer would play after). on top of that there was a full moon with black clouds right with nile's intro. and then they played and my jaw was on the floor. absolute perfection.
@@Frodothelast that's the exact show I saw at the Bash on Ash in Tempe.I couldn't remember what other bands were with them but you just solved that. It may have been my first time seeing SYL, and that was life-changing.
@@Frodothelast dude YES. I didn't see the berserker on that tour that I recall, but did see them at the Mason Jar in Phoenix. I went back and listened to their records recently and that is some of the stupid fastest shit I have ever heard in my life. Truly were a talent.
This singer was absolutely TERRIFYING. He was MASSIVE with arms the size of trucks. I saw them live, and a guy tried to climb on stage. The singer gave him a kiss with his boot. Long story short, no one else tried.
dude thats a badass story lol. I could see that happening. Nothing like that happened when I saw Nile in Houston Texas back in 2003. They played with Amon Amarth, Vader, Kreator and Goatwhore. I also think Misery Index might have been performing too. Man I miss the days of going to death metal shows....
I was supposed to see them live in san Francisco 2003 i was 23 ,they cancelled i love the sickness,im now 43 and they have not come around since so fuck them but i still love the incantations 😊
I've Been in 3 Nile concerts in NYC. and is the only band can't be in the whole set... to intense, to brutal, to crazy... What I fucking expected is Death Metal!
@@eduardo0796 You are indeed correct, and thank you very much for the info! I don't know how the hell I got Chief and Jon mixed up. I've been a Nile fan since 2003, and somehow I never solidified the difference between the two :)

I actually thought they were egyptians lol
I knew what they looked like from metal magazines at the time. But yes the good old days when you had to obtain physical copies of albums!
The best days..
same ! when i saw them get out of the touring van i was like wtf they so short! Lmao it was this lineup too not with dallas yet \m/

Jon Vesano is a fucking beast. He’s possessed.
I'm scared
20 years after and i´ll never forget that night, Slayer, Nile and Vader! 🤘🤘

The bassist is a fucking beast, what a performance.
Jon Vesano
For real! I saw them in 2003 when they came to Omaha. He was a badass and the whole show was rad
@2:34 Karl "sorry guys, had to order new guitar strings real quick."
Annhilation of the wicked is the real masterpiece of nile
the snare is just like TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA and with the bass drum during blast beats it sound like BUM TA BUM TA BUM TATATATA BUM TA
We miss you, dallas...
Best line up of Nile🤘🏾 That dude looks like hes drumming w/ combat boots on. The ending breakdown is epic.
A golden age for the band
Vesano was a Fucking Death Metal Monster!!
🔥🔥🔥 🤘😎🤘🔥🔥🔥
Love that Green Spector Euro 5LX Vaseno plays, Cant get one anywhere now a days!
this was the lineup I caught this very year in Phoenix. Their bass player/vocal was amazing.
That's not possible. The only one currently in Nile from this line up is Karl Sanders.
@@Khazandar by this very year i meant 2003 when the video was shot.

What a line up this was.
Peak Nile.
Best Nile era!
Yup.
Nah, Jon Vesano makes it good but the golden age was with Dallas and George.
The best line up of nile!!!!!!! 🤘😺🤘
Tony Laureano is just one incredible drummer.
No
@@xulphyte you know nothing about drumming if that was ur real answer bro.
Una bestiaaa!!!
I was there in 2003 it was the perfect sound. Brillant!
2:37 oh hi guys!
"They hath urinated upon you and made you eat feces
They know not Ra"
Karl you utter genius! (or perhaps the credit should go to Thoth?)
Man, that face on bassist a lunatic 😥
Man, this was the video that got me into Nile
Jon Vesano that goddamn machine looks like he'd be super pissed if anyone tried to attempt the high screams.
This is my favourite Nile video
2:31 into the pizza
😂😂😂😂
I was supposed to see them live in san Francisco 2003 i was 23 ,they cancelled i love the sickness,im now 43 and they have not come around since so fuck them but i still love the incantations 😊

Damn it Karl sanders you make it look too easy. I'm a good guitarist but I hope to one day be on his level. Gotta up my practice tome
Oops meant time lol
Thought for a second you are going to write some unholy manuscript about the ancient art of shredding.
- I saw NILE this same year, w The Berzerker, SYL, Napalm Death in Cincinnati at Bogarts
Nile rules Death Metal.
This line up is fucking sick!
Best Nile Drummer ever
SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS
I've Been in 3 Nile concerts in NYC. and is the only band can't be in the whole set... to intense, to brutal, to crazy... What I fucking expected is Death Metal!
😮 2:26

Peak Nile
It's time for a headliner show at Wacken. Due time!
nile had a bass player?
The infamous Chief Spires :)
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames This is Jon Vesano, though.
@@eduardo0796 You are indeed correct, and thank you very much for the info! I don't know how the hell I got Chief and Jon mixed up. I've been a Nile fan since 2003, and somehow I never solidified the difference between the two :)
is that jon vesano on bass ?
Best Nile line up, Drummer with sticks hanging out backside, a mentally ill bassist and skullet Dallas 🤟👍
Translation “I woke in the morning had pancakes breakfast it was a good day”
Good sound!
Tony Laureano behind the drums!
hi me again
i use the same guitar as karl!!! in this vid
The bassist is hella scary
It's because the scourge of Amalek is upon him
Tony's snare drum sounds like a rapid fire machine gun.
wtf is happening
Meant time oops lol
Tony Laureano, number 1 , the best drummer ever.
Drums sound like peace of shit
Tekashi 69 is a hell of a drummer
Someone take that snare away from the drummer. He's abusing the snare.
Drums are shit.... Wow....
No,you're shit.
