NILE have parted ways with bassist Jon Vesano. "He has decided that he will stay at his day job, which was not mutually compatable with NILE's touring commitments, and work on his DARK MOON project on weekends/spare time," NILE mainman Karl Sanders writes on the group's web site.
"Jon has emphasized that while he realizes the incredibly bad position his sudden decision puts the band that there is absolutely nothing personal towards the other members of NILE involved in his decision, only that it is in his long-term personal interest not give up his day job and lifestyle for the sake of the upcoming NILE tours.
"The show, as they say, must go on. With only a matter of days notice from Jon before our upcoming tour, NILE has enlisted the temporary bass services of Steve Tucker [ex-MORBID ANGEL] for the European run — and Krieshloff of LECHEROUS NOCTURNE for the American KING DIAMOND tour; while we consider options for a more permanent solution to our now vacant bass position.
"Also, the band will now be moving Dallas [Toler-Wade, guitar/vocals] over to the lead vocal spot in center stage, as Dallas had been recently taking over more and more vocal duties. Dallas also gave an incredibly crushing vocal performance on the new album, so it seems like now is as good a time as any for the band to to go ahead and move Dallas over to centerstage.
"It is not very well known, but Dallas fronted every single band he was in before joining NILE, and I have seen first-hand his utmost musically commanding capacity in this regard. We had considered moving Dallas over when Chief [Spires, ex-bassist/vocalist] left years ago, but for various reasons, we just left our onstage arrangements as they had been for some time with our three-vocal attack." |

hmmm....... this should be interesting. steve tucker likes playing bass in bands where's there's no bass huh? |
|
wow..sucks...i liked him
i wonder what his day job is |
|
I'm glad that Tucker found a gig that worked out for him. That way MA gets Dave back (hopefully permanently), and Tucker isn't left without musical funness. |
|
he probably did it so to keep his insanely hot girlfriend happy, and you know what, i don't blame him. |
|
Fuck that, your in a signed band and your gonna quit??? I liked him, too. |
|

|
|
he looked like a pro-wrestler, it was cool |
|
God i coulda sworn i read some where that he was a landscaper, probably on the nile forum, Dont remember where though. I could picture that, thats one of the only jobs that lets ya keep the long hair, haha. If thats not true I wanna hear some other jobs to look into But yea i definatly liked him in the band, he had quite the presence. |
|
he was one of the first people in a band that i gave a defyunlearn sticker to
heh
he was really nice |
|
I wish I could hear the bass better on Nile records... The riffs are so cool.
You can kinda hear it on "Black Seeds" but barely on "Amongst" or "In their Darkened Shrines." |
|
that's pretty crazy.
especially since the people from darkmoon are in wehrwolf. |
|
holy fuck and FUCKIN' FUCK!
that's some heavy news. As long as they still play Metalfest Sunday, I'm happy as a lark
Dallas would be a good frontman. He's the one with the 'crocodile' vocals! |
|
dallas has the sickest vocals of all of em. |

|
almost all of them look like wrestlers, their low A-STRINGS are what, like .70 gauge? |

yep:
.070 .050 .038 .017 .012 .010 S.I.T |
|
I can't believe I fucking guessed that, I was just shooting a ballpark figure.
I guess my graduate degree counts for something, after all. |
|
Nice. My low's a 70. I wanna join Nile. |
|
thats too bad. i guess we wont be seeing nile at the palladium every other fucking week for awhile. |
|
One of his first shows with Nile was at the palladium, I think the show was them, krisun, and cryptopsy. That guy was sick as shit |
|
Tucker is only on the tour for the European dates, not the American ones so you won't be seeing him. Jon didn't quit due to Angel, she's got her own thing going modeling and it's not like she is home all that much right now anyway. It's his job. |
