Watched the whole thing. Great interview. The amount of material online regarding Karl and Nile is criminally low and there needs to be more. Thank you for your service, Ryan! Looking forward to Nile’s new album and seeing them again live soon, hopefully! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Karl is the best. I bought a kxk 7 string and talked to him about gear through Facebook he was super encouraging and engaging. Great dude, killer tone and awesome player
I remember seeing instructional videos by Karl showing people how to play Nile songs. What a super cool dude. That sort of thing was a really big deal for me as a young metal head guitar player.
Great interview Ryan. I love how Karl opened that much and the talk was so friendly and interesting at the same time. I wish that you can get Rutan too and Kyle again as the other one was short. Keep it coming 🤘🤘
@KarlSanders Brother when I am front and center in front of your speaker cabinets at Slim's in SF all I can hear is the crushing sounds of a sarcophagus spewing blood and sand thru the deserts of time.🤘
August release....holy shit, that's the kind of news I've been waiting weeks to hear as I stalk the band's FB page. Nile is my all time favorite DM band, and Karl is an absolute legend and guitar wizard. So unique. Cannot wait, and just like previous records, first day pre-order here. \m/
Haha I love how I kinda zoned out but I could still tell you guys were talking about Erik Rutan by the way you were talking about his ears and hearing stuff others don't. Then I went back on the video and was like "YEP I knew it, that's definitely Erik Rutan" I love Erik, he pushes musicians to do better than they think they can, it's no wonder he was sharing the stage with Trey Azagthoth in Morbid Angel multiple times.
Ryan, youre making huge moves and its awesome to watch . wild growing up, looking up to you in our scene, while spending my allowance money on Nile records I find at FYE . 10 years later i get to watch this come full circle .
I can't remember using the Invader myself. The Dimebag model does well for a lot expectations --except if you want more mid frequencies, like Black Winter or a "modern" mids sound.
I put a Black Winter in the bridge position of my Les Paul standard a few months ago. The stock pups were a lump of bass. Muddy as all get out. I figured the heavy mahogony body would like that high focused black winter thing I had heard about. Just picked up a Kramer nite v for my 9 year old daughter. She is into Floyd's, lol ( oh no!). The dude I bought it from had put a set of invaders in it. Righteous. She digs the nasty metal they bring.( tons of early MELVINS in that kid, she says " Who?" I am proud.)
I've tried it in my studio.. some guitars that have capacitors tuned into the guitars sound really good its fine tuning and it also depends on your signal chain. need to tune it all together as a system. sometimes the extra highs can take the smoothness out of the saturation but if you have an amp that's less capable you may want the little extra
I'd love to see what Nile could do with an 8 string. 8 strings have become synonymous with djent and deathcore, and I feel like it's an untapped market for death metal and tech death. The only 2 bands I know of that fit that are archspire and black crown initiate, the latter being disbanded.
Awesome interview man! I really appreciate this one. Hey you guys touched on string gauge, any chance you could tell me the full set of string gauges Karl uses from top to bottom? Thanks heaps man 🤘
Karl's response to the drop A and the invaders.... kmsl He is the reason why I own a few Splawns. There are 2 of them that I will die with. They are so good that It break my heart to see someone else with them. Imagine a 1 channel amp that does cleans to doom to death metal and blues and does it sooo freaking well. SPLAWN Competition with custom choke and tranny.

@@billnelson5279 that rules! Always loved his KxK guitars
I've spoken with Karl several times via messenger. He's such a nice dude and truly loves his fans. Awesome dude!!

My friend doing awesome things, Karl is a legend!!! Hell yeah, brother!

I always love interviews with Karl.
Love love Nile, they are one of the groups that got me into death metal. They are just awesome.

Hell yeah, Karl is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar 11 years ago, still leagues behind him tho hahaha
Practice makes perfect man. The only thing holding you back is you.

Hell yeah, those are two other bucket list guests I want on the show!
Karl (and Nile) is the main reason I got into Seymour Duncan Invaders!
Those things are chunky as hell and nothing else sounds like it.
"Less is more, keep it simple"
The summary. Lol
A reoccurring theme on this show for sure lol

Damn man, that’s very flattering, thank you! Looking up to me or Karl?? Karl I get, but I’m nobody haha

Karl is the man!
Is Karl using current production DSL’s?
I think he has both the JCM 2000 DSL’s, and the current.
Fuck yeah dude!
Love your shows Ryan you are awesome is there any chance you doing an interview with Arcchgoat 🤘🤘
I can certainly try! Great band, I need some war metal on the show
Im pretty karl does not have a volume knob on his guitar, that can explain that loud noise at the beginning 🤘🏻
You are correct sir! His favorite mod lol
Its called, wired open
@@infinidominion never heard that term, makes sense, thanks!

Love you Karl! But you seem like you had some sauce beforehand. 😂
