Who should we film with next?

[kpstrumming]

Man makes brutal death metal, loves his gear and is not cocky like some other artists. What's not to love about him?

The man knows gear, and tone. One of the kings of death metal.

I remember see Nile open up for Morbid Angel almost 20 years ago.
Karl was playing a white...Fender Stratocaster.
I had never seen anybody ever play death metal on a Strat befor that show.
I saw Nile again on the Ithyphallic tour. Karl stayed after the show to sign autographs.
I handed him my CD to sign and the only thing i could think to say to him was, "Hey Karl, where's the Strat" his reply was, "umm..its at home man". lol.
super nice guy.

[benreese]

Karl lives 5 minutes from my house!
And teaches lessons! On tech death playing!

[fvckoffever]

Listening to Karl speak just makes me happy. What a nice guy.

[darthsmolin]

Hearing Karl be so effusive about the people who make his gear and saying the word "fabulous" over and over makes me smile. :)

[bignigt]

Genuine passion for his craft. Seems super nice and down to earth. Nile rules!

[benben-slhi]

Karl is probably the most underrated metal guitar player out there right now. His timing and the structure of his solos is insane! This guy shreds all in his

[vickingking]

[Kultursau]

Karl Sanders is a great guy, always there if you have a question on the internet.
Got the Dean Black V - one of a hell guitar, a brutal metal machine!

Love Nile - always stayed true to their style

[larrygrabarek]

Karl did a great job explaining his rig, after all those years he still has deep passion.

[ryancurfman]

This is what being a death metal musician is all about. Loving gear, loving your craft, having fun, and not taking yourself too seriously. I love Karl and Nile

I remember meeting him after a concert in Bari, Italy. I was wearing a Nila shirt and i suddenly hear "Hey dude, nice shirt!" It was him, he really appreciated the design and showed him to some merch guy. Class A musician and person.

[RichardGarcia]

9:01 Karl loved high action! Amazing that he can shred like that!

[slipspectrum]

Dude seems really super nice. I love that about death metal, such brutal, angry, venomous music, but most of the dudes playing it are super down to earth, nice people.
