One of the coolest guys I ever met. Despite being a true show business celebrity and a great musician always keep the down to earth attitude, the guy next door. Keep rocking Nile!
Nile, thank you to exist! I listen your Chic music from 40 years, I was 9 y.o. when radio played "We are family" and all your others big success. I love this musician, his guitar touch you can know immediately in every song he plays. Fantastic Nile! Ciao from Milano Italy
Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers are legends. Bernard's bass compositions and arrangements are foundational, iconic and timeless and so are Niles melodic guitar compositions. Both of them are truly inspirational. Chic is one of the greatest bands ever, just a perfect blend of special talent, from the singers, keyboardist, drummer, and violinists. These sounds will live forever!
May music continue to evolve music in its presence in our lives 🎵🎺❤️......well as long as he's alive. Knowing how Let's Dance was created is beyond my consciousness, this man is a genius ✨️🤗
I didn't know who this guy was when My drummer said "Yea Niles Rodgers is going to be at this festival! We are going to play in front of Niles!" I didn't pay much attention really but I looked him up on you tube and was floored.. personally I was actually one of the "DISCO SUCKS" guys in the 70's and I'll tell you after listening to a few interviews I'm convinced even with all the fame and the people he's known through out his career its obvious he's above all, a very humble and down to earth soul.... Health n Laughter!
theeardrafter I love Nile, but humble he is not. He'll let you know how he made everyone else better over and over again. He tells lots of funny interesting stories, and anyone who knows music can see his talent.
when i heard the music of "Chic" and Nile Rogers producing Diana Ross, i thought well is disco music, but if you heard what Nile did with "material girl" song of Madonna, that is not a good luck, is work of great music arranger ,then what he did producing "lets Dance" for David Bowie, was another master of creation, David Bowie ,wanted a hit song, and there you go Nile made a hit song , a song that went streaming for large multitudes.
Niles is right "jealosy" is one of the reason for what people work hard in music and take to the other level,in fact Paul Mc Cartney said, when he heard The Beach Boys album"only God know" Paul and the Beatles felt some kind of competition , and wanted to do better record than the Beach Boys
+pascquallo Sounds like the progression to "We are Family" to me, but without the lyrics obviously. Probably a jam in the middle of the song he did when performing it live.
His whole career evolved around that bar chord or power bar chord. Now imagine if he'd known that when his mom bought him his first guitar. Mr. Rogers is definitely an inspiration and definitely in my top 5 best singer song writers / Guitarist. I'd love to hear a blues album written by him with that disco flavor sprinkled all through it. Which it's all Blues but you know what I mean. Much love Niles Rogers and I hope one we day we have a chance to meet and play together or even record.

Lovely talk. But oh dear!, those subtitles. Apparently done by some bloke who is completely ignorant of classical music AND pop music. The great Italian composer's name is Giuseppe Verdi with an 'I' in the end. The famous Chic hit is called 'Le Freak' (whose intro and chorus has the battle-cry like ''Freak Out').
Actually, musicians talents don't get to evolve the music anymore. Real musicians have been practially cut out of the picture - nobody buys music anymore. All the successful artists do now is play live shows. New artists literally have to do what they're told, basically sell their souls to make it. The big money makers are the Music industry corporation(s). They just pick out faces to go with computer generated hits that are fed to the public non-stop until it catches on, all the while, bankrolled with advertisements.
i'm sorry , i could not disagree more with you my friend. you shouldn't compare Petrucci or Satriani to Neil, it's like comparing apples to oranges. Guitar it's not only about sick fingerstyle techniques and crazy fast sweeps and solos or fucking pinch harmonics, it's about creating melodically well structured content that sounds good , and this dude is a genius at doing it. if you were a true guitarist you wouldn't say at all that Neil is a terrible player, because it's not , he's actually the best in he's genre. and It's not by a stroke of luck that he got the chance to work with some of the best artists that the world has ever known , but he did it because he earned it.
hes not a player ffs.. listen to bonamassa .. gallagher !! clapton... page... gilmour !!!! rogers is shit !!! rubbish basic rhythm... beginners stuff and he got lucky and he knows hes not a quality player !! he KNOWS that !!more than anyone !!
watch some of his workshops, what you're saying is an uneducated opinion. His knowledge as an overall musician - he is on a different planet. search 'nile rodgers workshop'
SOUNDING GOOD will get a musician's work noticed time and time again. It will take one off the street and get one to the top repeatedly. And it will also get one imitated over and over. You hear the Chic guitar sound played by Nile Rodgers when you listen to the disco songs of the 70's. You hear it in the rap music of the 80's. You hear it when you listen to the rock and roll of the 90's. And even today, you hear it in the music of pop groups such as Maroon 5 and Coldplay.

how could anyone possibly hate this guy !
Anas Nih .....who hates him?

Nile is the most gracious and helpful whenever people beg him for his wisdom, which is constantly.
He´s been the coolest guy in the building for more than 40 years...
Nile is a great artist and human being

God Bless Nile Rodgers

This video is like a priceless gem found in the rough.
Absolutely stunning. I love the 'let's dance' part
Nile has got to be the cooling living person right now lol awesome!

Nile’s new song is a real and honest song when it’s out we must add it to our collectioneur!
Wow this guy.......Niles Roger is Amazing I Love him and I am learning a lot from listening to him Thank you Nile.
My treasure is all the vinyl records by Chic. 😎✌️

Hi, You Just The Man. You Rules ! Regards :-)
that looks like Zimbabwe's VICTORIA FALLS on the wall.
Great guitar player but nothing like tootin your own 🎷
Google Zeitgeist and a guy is recording Nile with an iPhone. Lol
can't see any "children of God" band on woodstock set list... maybe he was wrong with that??
The children of God were (are?) a cult of teenage and young adult hippies who would frequent music festivals and founded communes.
I see! So he was referring to Sly & the familly performance?
LuV
he got lucky

Very well said
Hmm. I normally love Nile but he came across as really egotistical here.
You can please people sometimes..but you can't please people all the time
Well....he has to speak about himself. But he makes It so funny ...
With the amount of hits the guy has under his belt can you really blame him?
That guitar sounds soo good.
he's not a top player ffs. .a basic rhythm player. .I'm a guitarist so I know what I'm Talking about. .
i'm sorry , i could not disagree more with you my friend. you shouldn't compare Petrucci or Satriani to Neil, it's like comparing apples to oranges.

he's got style, dude. Everybody can learn music theory with dedication. But the style come from other place
Sounds like you don't really know shit about "good guitar" pal.
I'm a guitarist, and a pianist, and a composer - and you don't know jack shit. He is an icon and a legend, WTFF have you ever done, chump?
Yea but he's not a dick.
hes not a player ffs.. listen to bonamassa .. gallagher !! clapton... page... gilmour !!!! rogers is shit !!! rubbish basic rhythm... beginners stuff and he got lucky and he knows hes not a quality player !! he KNOWS that !!more than anyone !!

THE DUKE. what have you done?.big talker..

Your stupidity is literally boundless.
