i would maybe consider going to see nile if it weren't bundled into metalfest. i'm pretty sure they're literally the only decent band playing this year though, so meh at that

WTF?!?

Why have Nile fallen?

What's wrong with this line up? It's got some killer bands!!

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 18 Jan 2012, 22:55

i'm guessing it's because it's rare for them to be an opener, they've been headlining nearly every tour they've been on since BSoV came out (at least in america anyway). the only exceptions that stand out in my mind are the KD tour back in '05 and i'm pretty sure they did an ozzfest somewhere along the line as well. the only other time i can remember seeing them as an opener would've been for neurosis back in '98.

so yeah, having to open for some shitty useless band like BDM is kind of a huge step down for them, i'd think

Mutilator · Post by **Mutilator** » 18 Jan 2012, 23:20

Hmm..they're not an opener, being in the middle. When they were headlining, I remember they had like one support band, maybe another local band. They never headlined something like big tours like Summer slaughter, No Mercy or Full of hate. So I think them headlining is not a big deal, probably attracts not enough crowd.

These tours with 4 bands are ideal to fill up an evening thoughout the week where people have to work the next day (that's very handy bookingwise) and altough maybe useless, TBDM seems to attract these crowds, making it able for Nile to expand on it's fanbase. I think Nile are still relatively a small band.

And concerning the other bands, Skeletonwitch I consider as quite ok and Hour of Penance are a killer band, just listen to The vile conception.

It'd be nice to see Hour of Penance live but motherfucking dates

Who the hell booked that tour?

The good thing about BDM headlining is that you can leave before they play.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 19 Jan 2012, 03:02

well i guess that is a pretty nice silver lining right there, actually

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 19 Jan 2012, 08:56

You can completely pretend they weren't even on the bill!

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 19 Jan 2012, 11:57

yeah but Nile also gets restricted to probably only an hour set.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 19 Jan 2012, 18:43

that would be an unusually long set for an opening band

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 20 Jan 2012, 00:45

how does this reflect poorly on nile though

it's just a tour

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 20 Jan 2012, 01:07

because they are not headlining.

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 20 Jan 2012, 01:33

they've been main support often over the last ten-twelve years though. remember the blackest of the black tour

ozzfest too i think

at any rate i dont see the problem with this. people who might not be familiar with nile will now have to stand there listening to nile and some of those people might go o_0 and that is the reason why bands open for other bands

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 20 Jan 2012, 02:38

Shows with a mix of different styles

Said shows but with nearly all shit bands

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 20 Jan 2012, 05:23

now that is certainly true

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 20 Jan 2012, 05:31

notice how they're not going to the Jaxx in Springfield, VA

this is because the Black Dahlia Murder has been banned there for sucking

nah, it's because they smoked weed out around the back door or something, idiots, just smoke in your bus or something

this'll be the first Nile tour in a while that I won't see

TBDM suck terribly live, I had to sit through them twice, twice too many
