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! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

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.

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

I always love interviews with Karl.

"Less is more, keep it simple" The summary. Lol

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.

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 🤘🤘

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

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.

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 .

@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.🤘

love old morbid angel I'm 35. carcass, death, dissection. :D

Awesome.🤘

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.

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 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.

Karl is the man!

Fuck yeah dude!

Love your shows Ryan you are awesome is there any chance you doing an interview with Arcchgoat 🤘🤘

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 🤘

Im pretty karl does not have a volume knob on his guitar, that can explain that loud noise at the beginning 🤘🏻

Is Karl using current production DSL’s?

I fucking love Karl \m/

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