When you wanna use your own electrical devises, think on the adapters for europe ^^
And make sure everything is rated for 230V or get a transformer rather than just a simple passive plug adapter, the voltage difference between the US and European power networks is pretty big, and while afaik most modern devices can handle both, worst case you start a fire.
@@LwL_or have to throw away the device.
Keep the splitter/ power strip with you and take 1 plug adapter/voltage converter
Already ordered them all last week. Thanks for looking out!
@@TankTheTech we like to take care of you... (How was that thing about fans intruding too much and bringing food laced with very strange stuff? Aren't you afraid now?)
Tank, where’s the PRO series Kevin Ratajczak hair dryer? I assume there are back ups too. 😂😂😂 Have an amazing tour!
Tank! If you don't need those old set lists, you should sign them and give them away to subscribers! That would be dope. I always try to get a set list when I go to a show!
As a former talent manager overseas, I loved it, it was so much fun to watch this. I'd love to see how you put all the stuff back in the case.
Every European out there immediately though about electrical differences 😁 Glad to know (from the comments) you already prepared for this. Have fun on the tour!
"Whats in the box?" One of the best lines in movie history.
Vincent! We happy?
@@VoodooMcVee Yeah, we happy.
Also often asked by border guards. So for stuff like pens and sharpies, I used to put those into clear ziplock bags. Can save a little space, and some time not having customs people opening every box. Also next EC video, I'm going to be looking out for pink stickers on foreheads!
This is awesome, I got a Pelican 1510 about 7 years ago for my personal luggage when touring simply because I was tired of my stuff getting broken, and haven't had anything get broken since. Touring really teaches you how to pack efficiently in everyday life!
(This dumb CZcams comment sponsored by Pelican Shadow Legends!)
Besides the electronics, check out the staples and stapler. If your stapler has staples in inches you may be unable to stock up here, as ours are metric.
Hi, just a short reminder, after I saw al, your electrical stuff, here in Europe we've higher power in our outlets, than USA. I'm sure you're aware and already checked, that your stuff still works here. Have a great time.
having your own wi-fi connection for yourself and your bands is so smart!
I would love to see the rider u send to venues or even some excerpts if allowed also would love to know lessons learned from the first tour that will make the next one easier
Yeah that rider would be interesting, I dont think it would be what most people expect.
Very cool to have a peak into the case. Thanks for sharing. I also look forward to more pointless videos! I hope you have an easy, safe flight over to Europe, Tank. 🤘🏻
Lol I only just discovered that Blu-Tack isnt common in the US. In Australia you're hard pressed to find a home that doesnt at least have bits of it everywhere for posters and stuff, and a pack in a kitchen drawer has been standard everywhere since the 80s
As a kid I used to steal some Blu-Tack behind the posters at school to bring it back home and hang all my posters with it. Every kid was obsessed by it, and honestly still are, my kid do the same as I did back in the day 😂
@@misscrackwood Same when i was a kid! In Denmark its known as "Elephant Snot" :D
@@Fibercake I love that name x) here in Québec we call it "gommette" !
A good reminder is go pros love LOTS of light. The better lit the subject you're shooting is, the better it will look.
Also they are great for a timelapse. Set it up in the corner of the production office one day pn tour plugged into a usb batter bank and shoot a time lapse of everything that happens in the office during a normal day, time lapse of load in/out and setup.
Then you can do voiceover while the time lapse is playing and you dont have to be on camera for that part of the video. Unless you really want to be.
Totally offtopic:
holy crap you look buffed bro. we never really get to see this in your "normal" videos, but much respect.
hope to see you in Stuttgart next month.
cheers and have fun with the ec-boys over here in germany
Not pointless. I found it very useful as I also need to travel around with my office in a container. A mess of sharpies or paperclips at the bottom is a universal experience.
great video, but you were holding everything upside down to the gopro :) aside from that and loosing power I think youve got a pretty good setup for the road. Im excited to see what sort of stuff you manage to find time to share :)
People have been blowing up Matt Horns' comments section with nothing but positives for his drum tech videos with falling in reverse.
This will be a great change for you, just be sure to continue commentating through the videos, you have that radio voice that just keeps me wondering what cool stuff you are going to say next.
C'mon Tank, we all know those little pink stickers are for the "special" backstage passes. 😂😂
Row zero shit again. Germans...😅
I don't know and I don't need to know, but I thought someone has invented a way to pack lot of "raincoats" and sells them in stocks.
Nice, since last year i was looking forward to see Kalle or Finch in Berlin for their song with EC and now i want to see Tankchinsky.
Hope will have a great time in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I believe you have my thtapler
Man I was gonna crack that joke but didn’t know if anyone would get it. 😂
"I Was Told That I Could Listen To The Radio At A Reasonable Volume, From 9-11."
Hey Tank,
I was wondering if you have read or know about the book "Tour:Smart and break the band" by Martin Atkins and if you would consider one day writing a book like that but with your experience and viewpoint.
I really enjoyed that book and would definitely love to see more resources like this published and especially love to read one writen by you as you are the kind of thorough person who's knowledge is a great source of brainfood for those who seeks that expertise.
🤘
Get some trekpak and pouches and organize that case. Also a lid organizer so all the pens and little stuff doesn’t get scattered everywhere. As a Camera Assistant that uses Pelicans this hurts.
I hope you have an awesome time in Europe
Cheers from Dresden, Germany!!! 🤘🤘
This was a neat insight into what being a tour manager involves!
Always interesting to hear what people actual have in their toolboxes (and actually use)
omg my organization/admin nerdy self is loving this, cool!
Yeah! Hope to see you Basel, Switzerland😄
I am looking forward to when Electric Callboy come back to Scotland. I discovered them because of you and I literally discovered them the day after they played at the O2 Academy and I was heartbroken because I would have loved to have seen them live. So I bought a Tank the Tekkno hoodie to make me feel better about it, from your merch store. I'm fat, so the official merch doesn't fit me. If they do come back to Scotland, I hope you're there with them because I will be wearing that hoodie, I don't think I would be a fan if I didn't find your channel.
Oh they'll come back! I was at that gig and was at the Newcastle gig the year prior. The Glasgow one was 100x more pumped than Newcastle so they'll definitely be back.
It sucks that the majority of band merch doesn't go above an XXL 'cause I can never buy merch from the tour with my rectangle ass body shape.
Always a fun watch. Good thing you checked out that go pro
Have fun in the tour Tank!
Loved this vid, was always super interested in your job
Love my Pelican cases for travel. No airline has managed to destroy any of my suitcases or camera cases yet!
I have noticed from Americans who went to Europe and felt sick when they had food without "funny stuff" inside but that cleared after a time detoxing.
Office Depot CEO sees this vid & offers an endorsement deal. lol
Haha, the pink dots for „something kinda special”, loved that one!
Lol the bands after show entertainment
Just recently found your channel and am really loving your content. New subscriber for sure!
This was super interesting! Thankyouu!
Might need new power pricks for Europe. Different voltage in our walls 🙂(230v mostly)
Yup, already got em!
Excellent bindrune on the outside of the case. :-)
it's so cool you gonna be here in Germany for the tour ❤ be prepared for a excited young woman waving to you when she sees you in Berlin x3
I wish you all the best for this tour!
Wish I could come to Stuttgart, but it looks like it’s sold out, which is effin awesome!
Come to Dresden, we still have places
Day in the life of a door-to-door stationery salesman.
Hey now, some of us love packing/get ready kind of videos! Maybe next tour 😅 But it was cool to see a small peek into your world!
You opening the printer is reminiscent of Kevin opening the Philips 5000 hairdryer in that one vlog
Please do make sections/compartments for everything in this case. Everything has its own place, doesn’t move and you can get it straight out of the case where you left it without moving stuff first and having it be a mess. Very convenient 🤗 loved this content. Are you assisting for Marek?
This is so cool to see! :D Btw, what did you think of Solence while you toured with them/EC last time? One of my favorite bands :D
7:44 actually a good Idea for Germany ^^
Man, that trophy is amazing 😂
Oh my god i'm gonna be in switzerland! Let's hope i can see Tank there 😅😂
stock up on batteries!!!!!! as a go pro user keep at least 3 batteries for each camera. do not charge them until they are down to 35% and do not charge longer than 2 hours because the batteries will swell over time and go boom
I hope your printer lasts a long time. We had to replace ours recently & manufacturers are starting to make generic cartridges not work. We started researching it & it's apparently a known thing now.
My mom used to make me hang my posters with blue tack back in the day. I hated it but my posters definitely had a much longer life than many of my friends'. It used to be called Fun Tack in the 80s & 90s
as a spiritualist love the use of the runes. we all need a little magic when traveling
When I toured back in the 90’s we had a special sawed off bowling pin that one would have to wear IF you lost your lamie…curious if those kinda “penalty box” shenanigans still happen??
Have you thought about adding a lid organizer to maximize space and help with organization?
I'm probably not the first one to say it, but: get a converter/adapter for the electronics that you bring with you.
Holy crap. They're with Nothing More. That's going to be the most energetic, crazy tour ever.
I saw EC last October in Bristol, seeing Nothing More in February in between their EC shows, gutted the new EC tour misses the UK, sounds like the perfect storm of awesome bands
I've been wanting to see Electric Callboy and missed out the last time they came to the states. I saw Nothing More a few years back and their energy was off the charts.
There’s your concert vs bootleg merch analogy RIGHT in you own box… the ink cartridge for your printer😉
I absolutely love packing stuff and making things fit nicely so I am sad your go pro died at the end 😂
Also as someone who loves to get my hands on a setlist at the end of the night this pile of setlists was a heavenly sight 😂
Shame you're gonna need a new trophy now that your title has changed. >XD
Maybe you'll see one in a few months >XD
Dont forget the european wallsockets (electric) are different. No doubt you thought about it, but just in case get converters.
This is really kind of cool to see the actual stuff, you are using. Soon CZcams's finally gonna see Tank in his natural habitat. Let's Go(Pro)!
That was an cool information. Hope to see you in Basel, Switzerland. Bought my tickets in May last year. I know, it is very bold to ask, but any chance, to get a backstage pass? Thank you!
So basically a portable office in a box :D
Waitwaitwaitwaitwait
You'll be in Nürnberg?
Nice🤘🏻
🎉🎉
What, what, what, what.... Stop! Hold the press! Assistant Tour Manager for EC in Europe? Tank, the big Tankinksy, goes to Europe? My Man, i can only say: ENJOY!!! :D
What thickness are the laminating pouches you use for your door signs, 5 mil or 10 mil?
Is it me or is the workbox displaying a fused version of an Algis and Raido Viking runes? I thought about this when you got the Odin out of the box. I guess you can read that as XR or ZR, depending on the Algis. Anyway, thanks for the great insider info!
hey tank im very curious ik youre a big metal head but have you checked out any of john mayers music or keith urbans music since their both great guitarist?!?
Great you already have an laminator. Its an impotant item in germany. Nobody here follows paper signs, except they are laminated. Then the sign is not a recommendation, its law!
Do you keep your printer in a pistol case? I used to own a case that looked exactly like it.
What does the bind-rune mean on the front of the case?
I'll be damned...!!!! Tank is finally coming to Europe, and with EC guys...
@TankTheTech will You also tour with EC during summer festivals? 'Cause i'm looking forward to seeing them at Pol'and'Rock Festival in Poland in August...🤔
The pink stickers are for Row Zero selection. 😂
Will it be possible to see you maybe in nuremberg?
Vlogs of a tour manager would be interesting as fuck! It's an area you don't see a lot of, if at all, so if you can fire that at us!
So now I´m kinda curious aboutthe pink dot stickers
While at wacken, check out Brian Downeys alive and dangerous. Its original thin Lizzy drummer having a good time with a bunch of younger guys doing all classic Lizzy stuff
Is it possible to meet you at one of those shows? Nürnberg maybe 😉
We have the same stapler..... "I'll burn this place to the ground"
I asked for salt in the margarita, and they gave me no salt. I'll have this place condemned.
😂😂😂
Yo my dude! Take it from someone who's probably got mild organizational OCD. You need to compartmentalize that case to contain the mess. Using square or rectangle tupperware containers with lids will keep all your stuff easier to manage. No more diggin to the bottom to find that super special sharpie. Then you can fill the spaces between the containers with foam to keep it all secured in place while moving!
Definitely not. He shouldn't do that. You've got OCD, you can do that. It slows everything down A LOT.
Definitely not? He shouldn't do that? You make it sound like at some point in your life you suffered an organizational trauma. It's okay my guy, there's no danger in being organized.
I love how much this is just office supplies. We managers live on pens, printers, and posties. 😂
pink dots must be electric callboys banana stickers...
Fred Durst and Alligatoah - So raus Reaction please🙏
Don't burn down any buildings if someone steals your red stapler. 😂 #OfficeSpace
Ha, you can sell the set lists to true fans ! ;)
Bit more seriously, it does look like a content of an office table packed into case.
If you haven't thrown them away and have a setlist from the Pittsburgh/McKees Rock Show from I believe 9-9-23 I'll gladly take one.
Hey man, I'm really not sure why you take a printer, can you explain that a bit?
Printing various documents on a given day for a given day on a tour : setlists, day sheets, signs, etc
If we have a sharpie shortage i kno who im calling if i need one haha
Not sure if you can sell setlist/band dressing room signs but you could make some money
Can you have the guys sign a set list n sent to me for my collection. Pleas
If someone steals that stapler, are you going to burn the place down?
Are you managing the US tour too?
Yes
@@dumdidum631 yay! Thank you!
@@jon9879 you're welcome 🙃
Who is electric callboy touring with?
I hope electric Call boy knows office space. ......pray to God they don't take that stapler.
I’ll set the building on fire.
Is your German getting better?
@TankTheTech you wouldn't mail me one of those set lists would you? I'd gladly pay.
A mobile office which is highly organized.
Thanks for the peek. Can't trust a GoPro battery....
