so maybe Nile isn't approrpriate to have playing in my office...

[Baliset]

when my boss brings a representative from a lender by to say hello.

wooops.

at least i was listening quietly and saw my boss's head peak in quick enough to turn off the speakers.

 

[jerkstore]

nonsense.
if Nile isn't wholesome family goodness, then what is?

 

[TheNewChupe]

you could call it research for a new course in north american metallic interpretations of egyptian folklore.

 

[FuSoYa]

This will change, someday.

 

[TheNewChupe]

incidentally, if Nile decided to quit the whole egyptian theme, they'd definitely have to change their name, right? it's not like you can be called Nile and write about bitchez and hoez and gettin' azz.

My review of Nile's set the other night:

We retreated to a nearby alcove to converse with BigFakeSmile and that really short guy I always see at Devy shows. The four of us promptly began examining the plethora of fliers at our fingertips to determine which ones would fly the furtherest. Said short gentleman held the record as his paper airplane flew a whopping four inches then went straight down the stairwell. Oh and I think Nile hit things, growled, roared, and hit things rather well. Tough to be positive, honestly.

 

[capeda]

Bah, Nile rules. You guys just need to stop taking estrogen.

 

[kleo706]

Remember that when Nile played, I had just seen Suffocation and Deicide kind of making Nile ummm pointless.

 

[TheNewChupe]

my ob says once i go off the pill in 3 weeks my face'll clear up.

 

[capeda]

Nile isnt anything like Deicide or Suffo, though! Deicide is like the AC/DC of death metal, totally shallow metal that's pretty much just designed to "bang some heads." Suffocation subscribe to the 1000 riffs per song school of thought, with harder to follow songs and such, but yeah. I guess Nile is kinda not-so-great live, due to muddy-as-fuck sound. I think if you're a big fan of what they do, though, and you know every riff they play by heart, seeing them blast through all that stuff is almost a divine spectacle! I hated them the first time I saw them, but was totally awe-struck the next.

 

[capeda]

That post came off totally incoherent.

 

[TheNewChupe]

don't nile tune sort of low? that's almost a recipe for muddy sound (speaking from experience).

 

[capeda]

Yeah, I think they tune to A or some other obscenely low note.

 

[avi]

I thought Nile was actually pretty darn cool when I saw em like 4 years ago or something. I hadn't heard em before and they impressed me.

 

[Astral Poetry]

Nile was the first band I saw live and I thought they did a very good job of entertaining me. It was very nifty when Karl used his guitars feedback as an instrument of sorts.

 

[Demonspell]

Yeah, I think they tune to A or some other obscenely low note.

Sounds right on the basis of Ruins and other oppressively heavy tracks from them...

 

[Astral Poetry]

They are tuned to drop A I do believe.

 

[ChromeLife]

Origin owns Nile... but I do enjoy Nile to a point.
