You've seen them live?

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]You've seen them live?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I couldn't hear (after) or understand a word there vocalist was singing though. They are very loud and that tuning in A is just a beast with there modded DSLs

NP - John Petrucci - Damage Control

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]Yeah, thats the only Nile album I have and the production is so bad for the guitars on that album. They're face live though.[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I think they should try and get the masters and have Neil Kernon remix and remaster it. The production on that album is completely terrible imo, you can't hear a thing out of the guitars other than muddyness.

I've been using a couple videos for the BSOV drums (a video Kollias has on his site and BSOV @ Wacken 03, mainly) but it just flies around.

That's just why he kicks ***. One of the best I've seen that I really enjoyed.

Lars said he is focusing on his drum sound on this album so that's a +

Yeah, I never liked [I]Black Seeds Of Vengeance[/I] much at all.

The production is just horrible on BSoV and that's why it sucked for me. Live it's like 100x better.

Yeah the prouction is the main down point.

The title track is quite good live.

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]One or both of them use baritones though

For me it would go AJFA>MoP>RTL>Live ****>Garage Inc.>ReLoad>St. Anger>Load>Black>KEA>S&M[/QUOTE]
I only like about half of AJFA, unless it's live. What's with S&M? Not a fan of the orchestra?

Nah, not really. Kind of sounds like an overboard keyboard and I hate those.

NP: The Wait (Garage Inc. Disc 2)

[QUOTE=KingJay]NP: Last Caress (Live Sh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t)[/QUOTE]
I've never been able to like that song. Plus I can't stand it even more after I saw Metallica. They were playing the intro to Frayed Ends of Sanity, then stopped to play that song. It was a disappointment.

[QUOTE=BLS_Infernus]SkoM is a 7 string, he uses a baritone on Invisble Kid. Kirk's baritone usage is when he uses his KH-2 with Frankenstein on the body. (St.Anger DVD FTW)[/QUOTE]

Ah...i see now. I keep thinking of the mummy wen someone metions his KH-2. I never knew that was in baritone though. and i cetainly didnt know Invisible Kid was in baritone. i thought it was in Db.

[QUOTE=Thor]So it's a mix of bad and good, making that to be an average album? That's the vibe I'm getting here.[/QUOTE]

why are people always slagging of Load? Load is a fantastic album but what most people don't do is seperate themselves from their previous work. If you listen to Load forgotten about what they have previously done and you realise that Load is actually a very good rock album, I love every song on that album, which I can't say for AJFA or Black.

I don't think we've seen the best of trujillo yet hopefully this will change my estimations of him (I know hes good)

Trujillo doesn't look like a happy bunny in the decent pics of them in the studio from metallica.com

[QUOTE=ever eeking always rupert]Trujillo doesn't look like a happy bunny in the decent pics of them in the studio from metallica.com[/QUOTE]

I think he's concentrating. When I'm concentrating really hard I look like I'm about to kill someone.

[QUOTE=Mr Amsterdam]I don't think we've seen the best of trujillo yet hopefully this will change my estimations of him (I know hes good)[/QUOTE]

Trujillo is a solid bassist. Can't wait to hear what he comes up with on the new album.

I hope he brings some funk elements to it.

[QUOTE=Happy]I hope he brings some funk elements to it.[/QUOTE]

As long as they don't start sounding like old-school Mudvayne, then I have no problem with that.

[QUOTE=Happy]I hope he brings some funk elements to it.[/QUOTE]
I hope he just stays prominent throughout the record. I don't like bassists who back up the guitarists the entire time.

Hmm yeah, I wouldn't like to hear basslines that are just the guitar lines an octave or two lower.

[QUOTE=Happy]Hmm yeah, I wouldn't like to hear basslines that are just the guitar lines an octave or two lower.[/QUOTE]
I mean it's ok if they do that for some parts for just the crushing effect, but just not all the time. There's a fine balance in making sure your bass lines are complimenting the band well enough.

I also hope that they have a great new instrumental that rivals Orion and The Call of Ktulu. That would be what I would look forward to the most.

Little chance of that. When asked why there aren't any instrumentals anymore, James replies
"We don't need them anymore, we have lyrics for them"

Which basically means "We don't feel like writing great songs anymore."

I believe that's what St.Anger said.

[QUOTE=IAmTheBlackWizard]I believe that's what St.Anger said.[/QUOTE]
My point exactly. That's actually what every album past their self titled said.

Orion = \m/

I'm more a fan of Call Of Ktulu than Orion. The intro just perfectly recreates the feeling I get when I'm reading the book.

Have you guys seen the live version of Dyers Eve available on Google Video? It's awsome! After the intro, before the little bit on drums, James says, "are you sure about this?!" and the crowd starts roaring :lol:

Great stuff

I've read the book and have listened to the song countless times. They're both fantastic. I'll try and listen and read them at the same time in the near future.

The epic ending of "The Call of Ktulu" cannot be beat by just about any other Metallica song. You know, the part that goes...

da-na-na-na....na na na CRASH!!!! :)

Yeah, the ending is great,as is the whole song. But that intro...it gives me shivers when I'm listening to it and begin to think of being on a boat on a stormy night and seeing the tips of the city of R'lyeh. They really did a good job with the feeling of it all.
