Nile has issued the following statement about Immolation vocalist Ross Dolan coming to their rescue when their tour bus driver left unexpectedly:

"So what do you do when your bus driver decides to hit the road? (...and not in a good way). Well, this very thing happened this past Saturday when Nile's tour bus driver couldn't make it to the Gallup, NM show due to 'certain circumstances' which caused Nile and their bus to be stranded at some random truck stop in the middle of the desert.

"It just so happens that the Immolation and Krisiun bus was stopped at the same place, and at the same time (weird). So, after a couple of hours of trying to find a solution, all options were exhausted, and Nile's tour manager, Punchy, went to tell the Immolation and Krisiun guys that Nile wasn't going to be able to make it to the show, because we had no available driver.

"Turns out, Ross has a Class B license, and that makes him legal to drive a bus. So, he got out of bed and drove the last four hours to the gig! So what's the moral of the story? If we can work miracles and pull this type of stuff off at the last minute to make it to one of our gigs, then this means that you should have no excuse on why you should miss one of our shows!"

It's not that people have excuses why they don't go to the shows, it's just that Nile sucks and they don't want to see them.

anybody saying nile sucks doesn't deserve any kind of respect from me sorry, mash you bring me the horizons,suicide silence ,slipknots or whatever but if you say nile sucks you know nothing about great metal and especialy about death metal.

My first nile gig i travelled nearly 300km , told my mom i was going to school and that i will be sleeping at my mates that night while i was 5 hours away from home with one mate who told his mom exactly the same so noody would've been looking for us if we didn't come back. great experience and memory though. such nice guys remember drinking beer with geaorge kollias in the beer garden before the gig it was like meeting superman in person :D

Nile get a lot of stick now just because they're popular. But not so long ago in the metal desert that was the late 90s, while everyone else was floundering a band called Nile put out some brutal death metal the likes no-one had seen.
