I love Nile, but........

[drockilles]

does anyone else find this guitar a bit ridiculous? Anyone ever played a KXK (or used it to kill something)?

I think Noodles has one but could be wrong.

[Flatpicker]

I would never get that to play.
To hunt Mammoth, Tiger or Ted Nugent sure, but not to play.

[Mr.C]

mabey for a holloween show or something but I highly doubt it.....

I understand the vibe of death but who wants someone elses band name in big letters on your guitar while playing with your own band? Just my 2 cents.

[Rupe]

That just looks stupid

He got a new one from them recently:



11 string fretless and scalloped 6 string (with midi, evidently)

I loved Nile until John and I saw them live..not what I expected..

I bought all their cds before I saw them live..they didn't have a "off" night because the house sound was great and they seemed to be having a great time, I was standing right in front of whatever the guitarist name is..but it just didn't grab me like the albums..not at all.

If I was introduced to Nile from their live show I'd never would have bought a single cd..seriously!

In fact I haven't put on a Nile cd since that show..

actually the guitar looks pretty cool..kinda fits my personality I guess..

similar experience for me. saw them in 98 with morbid angel at a VERY small venue in CT. wwwwaaaayyy too fucking loud. at one point i thought i was falling over that sound was hitting my ears so hard. and just sounded like slop. pretty funny to see karl sanders with his desktop computer rig right next to him also.

Imo Nile are like Bal Sagoth, they dont really 'work' live..its not that they play bad or seem like they have never rehearsed (eg DragonFarce every time i've seen them..grrrr) its just the music gets lost on the live stage.

Hard to explain... saw Nile at Wacken and they were 'hmm'. Listened to their recent album on cd on the way there and it was 'WOW cant wait to see this live'.

Theres probably a few more bands i get this with... Dragonforce, Rhapsody...Sonata Arctica.. Trivium!

Just the same as those bands you see live who kick your ass, so you buy a CD album and its 'hmmm' like Ynqwie, Evergrey, Accept, Motorhead, Saxon etc

I really like that! One of the best looking double necks I've ever seen.

[RacerX]

I like it!

I got to play a KXK at NAMM, seemed like a quality instrument.

[skorb]

I've seen some stupid looking guitars but that one takes the prize.

how the fuck did musicians playing music get so incredibly warped to the extent that these black metal dicks now have to make every guitar look like some kind of moronic weapon?

whatta fuckin joke :ROTF:

[axeman81]

that's just funny..I would love to spear Ted Nugent through his eye with it though

reminds me..I saw a Karl Sanders solo album at the store today, it had a huge sticker all over the cover that said "FILE UNDER NILE"
