This Vlog series deserves some sort of documentary award. It is so entertaining not to mention educational!!!!
I keep coming to the comments section on these EVERY SINGLE TIME to say just this. This is so enjoyable I can't even start to describe it.
I worked as a roadie for an "orquesta" in Spain for a few weeks and what these people do is freaking HARD and IMPRESSIVE. The shoutouts need to keep coming.
@@NikkLiberosyou worked for a what??
@@ajc1888He worked for an orchestra, I think.
@@ajc1888 I think it's the spanish word for "orchestra"
@@ajc1888 in the US that would be a wedding band, but they play in town squares and carry a whole PA and lighting rig along, so it was basically being a roadie for a smaller scale production of similar characteristics.
Some of us watched you a while ago reacting to EC videos and now we‘re watching you shouting „Soundcheck jetzt!“ in Basel towards them. Amazing!
I see you already learned a crucial part of german parenting theory - the allmighty "JETZT!"
Classic parenting levels:
-- "Mach bitte endlich xyz!"
-- "Jaja, gleich..."
-- "Nicht gleich, sofort!"
-- "Jaja, sofort..."
-- "Nein, JETZT"
"Gib mir das!" - "Wie heißt das Zauberwort?" - "JETZT!"
@@doubleT84
Zauberwort mit 5 Buchstaben und 2 T?
Jetzt!
Nein, ich meine mit Doppel-T!
Flott!
If anyone is wondering what the charity-signing-thing was: Electric callboy signed a teddy for an auction, to collect money for sick children. It's connected to a metal festival in Lucerne this march (WeRockForKids, Bullhead Festival) at the Schüür with local metal bands and two international bands that all play to collect money for the Stiftung Kinderhospiz ❤
If any swiss people are interested, there are still tickets and the auction is also still online ❤
The second JETZT - perfect, sounded like an annoyed parent xD
In a world where our media is so trashy, it’s so good to see wholesome content and musicians.
I just can't shake the association of Jan in his little guitar section as one of these favourite NPCs whose store you keep visiting just to see them and sometimes, after exhausting the current dialogue option pool or when you have a certain item on you, he'll have a fun little side quest for you like "fetch me some cups as well"
Apart from that, it's so incredibly cool to see how things work behind the scenes, it's dope to see more of the crew and their jobs, too. Really appreciate the little name + job cards, too.
I love that everyone talks about how much they love and appreciate each other.
A bunch of people who know they're in the good ol days while they're in it
Right? It's such a vibe
Nico shouting about how he Loves his Job, and there general positivity and vibes from the crew and band is great to see.
"Ich flipp aus" ... I nearly choked on my coffee... that was great. 🤘🤘
I love that you also show "the boring casual" stuff like getting some cups for the tech. Brings back a lot of good memories...and it's always a pleasure to see a perfectly working show to work. Damn, that have must have taken years to get everything going that smooth. Anyway... Love the Roadie Vlog, love the Channel... Keep us updated!
It is still just astounding how this all Electric Callboy experience happened for you:
Starting as a reaction channel with some good bits "behind the music" knowledge inserts.
Reacting to this silly band from Germany... being just so good, not just by reacting, but by tech knowledge to become part of their tour team in america, your home turf, and now being hired to be part of their team in europe!
And now you are kind of making a behind the scene documentary for their tour, but from the tour management point of view.
This is just great! I am so happy for you!
Enjoy your tour break!
I won't deny it's pretty cool, but Tank's been teching for several bands before, has pretty extensive knowledge, plus he interviewed Kevin and Nico several times. So, while your comment makes it sound like he was some small fry who got picked up by EC, it's more like an experienced US roadie met an experienced German band. Said band got a lot of internet fame thx to several reaction channels, Tank's not least of all, and they clicked with him pretty well, so they decided he would be the man to properly introduce them to the US. Tank knew EC were professionals, and they knew he was, so both sides could be pretty sure this would work out well. Them becoming friends too was the cherry on top.
Tl; dr: Professionals found each other thx to the internet and became friends along the road. Pun fully intended.
@@johapunkt3053 I think your way of stating it fits perfectly, the way I thought it, but wasn't able to describe it, due to not being native english speaking, but just the bit of school english, I had. And I never was very good in english in school. Always had the worse grades, below average.
His expertise and experiences for sure made it possible at all, that's what was always so cool with his reactions: The technical informations, and backgrounds for used instruments, and so on. But, also it would not have been happened the way it did without the cannel. And that is a great thing, how the internet was able to connect the dots that were fitting.
Even if Switzerland isn't part of the EU, it participates in the Schengen agreement since 2008.
Tank, for me and my cousin we're from Oxford & Frankfurt respectively. But both of us grew up in Europe. For me Oslo, Barcelona, Reykjavik, Warsaw and Athens are all part of my country & I wish Istanbul (Constantinople) as well, and this rate I suspect St Petersburg will be soon part of the EU Shengin area as well.
Random Diety was it really over 15 years since I was in Switzerland?? Really?
I remember staying in the French part of Geneva in an apartment that literally overlooked the border with the border post just outside. The border was there and yes you had to show your pisspot to go through but it was in the middle of a city?? It was so stupid.
When, its finally proven that the UK didn't vote to leave & leaving is revoked. I hope that the UK will have to join Shengen.
Covid clearly shows that we can put a border back into place if we need to.
@@annakissed3226dumbest comment so far 😂😂😂
@@TabOn-np7jpI guess you would know, given the nature of your commentary
@@annakissed3226We did vote to leave..deal with it. The idea you need to be in a political union to arrange things with your friends and neighbours is a joke. The fact its hard proves that there are power hungry people everywhere putting a spanner in the works to feed their own agendas.
I know Andy from my time as local crew in Switzerland. Worked a lot with him and I nearly freaked out when you mentioned him in the video🎉 I love this series! Reminds me of all the great times on- and backstage😊 Thank you Tank!
This is what i love about the crew/local crew thing.. like everyone knows everyone, if you dont... you know someone who knows them
Tank in his first VLOG: I have no idea, I've never done one
nails it every time
Man, these kinda BTS-footage is awesome !
We want more of it !
There is something amazing about watching people do what they love with people who have the same passion as they do.
awhhh your little spiderman-meme moments with christian
Dude, I've got so much more respect for musicians (and their entourage) after watching these Vlogs. So many people think their favorite artist literally just spawn on stage, whereas in reality you work every hour that you don't sleep while on tour.
..."I can tell you I love you...cuz you're such a Tank".
Damn. This was so much fun to watch. So fkn cool!!!!!
Tank has a new ringtone
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That bit just broke my wifi 😢😂❤
As a stagehand in the US, its been really interesting seeing not just the process of the in and out from the road crew's perspective, but also seeing how things are done over in Europe. Keep up the great work and have fun out there.
This looks more like a group of friends than a group of coworkers. The respect for each other and the fact that they are always vocalizing the love for one another is like nothing I’ve ever seen before in a music group.
1. the closet cam is awesome. 2. your german is getting better and better. When you say Guten Morgen, you could be a native speaker. Great job Tank :-)
The backstage of Electric Callboy looks like a Theater play, there so many moving parts, so much costume changes, queu changes, JAGGERMEISTER and water, it feels like so different from other shows. They truly know how to put up a show in front and the crew backstage know how to make it so seamless, shoutout to everybody thats a REALLY well oiled and loving machine.
It really is incredible how these crews can set up a full epic stage show and take it down in the same day. Then do it all over again day after day after day.
Massive respect to the stage crews of the world, man.
"I did nothing" ... Intence rubbing on the drums😂😂
I was there and the chicken part made me lough so much. My deeply respect to all of you for doing such an awesome show, it was hot as hell but it was definitely a lot of fun!
Did anyone in the crowd call "Tank the Tech?" Fans should summon him on stage!
as a drummer myself i can say that nico's air drumming during david's solo was on point...
well, if I remember correctly, I heard somewhere that Nico was originally a drummer in his teenage/school band years...🤘
@@morwen3789 didn't know that...but one can definitely tell that he knows what he's doing there :)
Right? Every beat was perfectly on point.
I've been behind the scenes with setting up for shows/ concerts but the venue i managed wasn't even close to this size. It still blows my mind how quickly and efficiently these tour crews work. Cheers Tank, thanks again to you and EC for sharing this with us.
The tour crew and the local crews are the true heros 🤘
Subscribed during the covid era for the reactions and gear breakdown. Stayed for the excellent content since. Love the vlog!
100 % true
I have a friend who does stage crew and builds a lot of the stage post show and he's been in situations when things aren't on schedule, he manages the stress of it but that's the job at the end of the day and if he doesn't get it done the show doesn't go on, so a lot of respect to stage crew and their hard work!
Respect for shouting out the local crews. I have so many friends who have worked or do work on various levels that are silent heroes. Love the content as always my dude.
As a lover of music
I really appreciate this video
Crazy thing is , I’ve been DJing since the 80’s
(yes , I’m 51 yrs old )
I love House music
( I’m from Chicago)
However, I love all things music
and to see a video like this is really cool , buying Electric Callboy’s music today !
Rock on fellas , Mad respect ✊🏿
Load ins for tours like this are immensely fascinating. Thank you for giving us a peek behind the scenes!
Agreed. The logistics is amazing. I'd look at the stage and think, yep, could get that done in a couple of days, but everything needs to be built and rigged in a couple of hours. Then the tear-down, so if stuff is just put in the nearest truck, next venue it'd be "where is.. ?" and delays. Then the way everyone seems to be enjoying themselves despite the long days and hard work. But I guess the crowd reaction with a good show must be quite the buzz!
@@brolohalflemming7042 especially the tour dates of this German leg are always 2 days together. So they have to tear down after the show, drive to the new location and build up by Door opening. Such a mad thing if you think about the distance 6 Truck drivers have to do too.
This video is so much more entertaining than any of the movies produced by Disney in the last 5 years!!!😁 Keep it up!
"I have the farts" will always make me giggle. I'll never grow up and I don't give a sh*t. Bahahahaha.
Lovin these vlogs, Tank!!!
The energy, the attitude everyone keeps all the way through, it's terrific. Not hearing any "damn, this sucks, I'm glad it's almost over" it's more "We have a break, but this show was soooo good! Love you!" It's way too wholesome for rock! :D Be safe going home, the weather should be good here.
"[GERMAN AFFECTION INTENSIFIES]" major bloodywood gaddaar vibes lol
I love that you got to film the Parasite pyro cue! That's one of my favorite moments in the show and it was cool to see from that perspective!
Thanks as always for sharing. Hope you've had a restful time at home!
Absolutely LOVE Switzerland. Staggeringly beautiful, great people, great food, and so clean you can eat off anything at all. It'll be sterile.
'Ich habe die Fürce' 😂😂😂
I'm impressed with the amount of pyro in an enclosed space. I'd love to learn more about how it's planned and executed. This tour vlog is SO good. Thanks, Tank.
Where do i start. First this is your 4th VLOG and the video and editing quality is absolutely phenomenal, you wasted no time in upping the production value of your video. The amount of content you managed to capture really helps to show and tell the story. Second, because of how highly you talk about the band and this vlog series, this Presidents day weekend I did a deep dive down the Electric Callboy rabbit hole. Im pretty sure ive watched every video and vlog on their channel in the process and i gotta say thank you for being the conduit for turning me on to this band. Im the kinda guy that loves to study the production side of live performances and how things work, so after a weekend of watching all their live stuff it made watching this VLOG in particular that much more special. It sucks that so far their upcoming US tour is only on the East coast. When they inevitably make it to northern California i will be there. Anyway enough rambling. Thank you Tank, and wish you and your family the best!
Love the "Beard POV cam" :) also I love how you shout out local crew. I was part of local crew in Vancouver Canada for several years and I loved every show. Working with the different tour staff was great and there was always a good sense of comradery amongst the crew. Id never get tired of watching behind the scenes footage. Even little things like the sound of a band playing from behind the scenes brings back so many memories. Hope you had a good rest with the fam Tank 😃
One of the very few CZcamsrs that I get pumped to see a new upload from. Love your vlogs, man!
What I love the most about this series is just getting to see even more of what a awesome and down right lovely group of guys they are.... The EC crew seems like one of the most amazing group to be hanging out with... Even tho it gets really stressful on days like this one, it seems like everyone takes the time needed to make sure that people are having a good time. I wish everyone could have a group/work environment like these guys....
We discovered butter under Nutella in Italy back in the early 80’s. It’s awesome!
I find myself smiling through these vlogs, everyone is so sweet and take so good care of each other!
I’ve been absolutely loving this series! As a long time viewer and supporter of both you and Electric Callboy, seeing how it’s become an awesome relationship has really made me extremely happy for you Tank! You’re awesome and the boys in EC seem like such kind and lovely blokes, it makes me love them (and you) even more than I already do. Keep smashing it out the park mate, much love from Australia!!!!!!!
Thanks for showing all the BTS and the work that's done in the shadows. It gives a whole new perspective on what touring is about, and a huge appreciation for everyone that is part of it. All together, you give us the best nights of our lives, and I can't thank you all enough for it!
17:23 This whole interaction between Tank and Kevin was so heartwarming. Made me smile a lot. And then finishing it up with "I have the farts" hahaha
I don't think I've ever seen a band enjoy their songs as much as these guys do this far into the album's lifecycle. Having a "best show" at one of the last shows of an album's tour usually doesn't happen cause everyone is too burnt out on their own songs. Also for sure haven't seen a crew acively listening as much as EC's guys do. It all speaks volumes about the quality of their show.
The extra camera angles for cinematic shots of the stage and the backstage stuff with the crew, an awesome touch to this. This is turning me into an Electric Callboy fan.
Was such a pleasure to have all'ya all in Basel. Born and raised here, so special treat for me and Frack did we have a good time at the concert! Thank you for your awesome work and big thanks for introducing us to Nothing More. Pretty awesome stuff 😊 Hope to see all'ya back soon!
I love each and every vlog! It would be so interesting to see if other tours have such camaraderie and positivity. We all hear all kinds of stories about bands arguing, under-appreciated crews, etc. It’s impressive that there’s no drama like that here. Every single person on this tour treats each other like family and truly enjoys their job. Everyone gets time to eat and have some breaks for fun and chilling in between working hard. Nobody is unwilling to do scut work, including band member if need be who could very easily not lift a finger, but we’ve even seen them fetching stuff, pitching in with tearing stuff down or unloading, etc. These Vlogs show a prime example of what every tour should look like - there’s really no need or reason for drama, BS, and having noses up in the air if the band, crew, managers, etc. are all there for the right reasons: to put on an amazing show for fans and make memories through music rather than just caring about collecting a paycheck.
Enjoy the time home with your wife and daughter! That clip of your daughter with a sign in the airport and the way she dropped it and ran to hug you was the sweetest!
Can't wait for the show in Vienna. We are so hyped to see EC again live ❤
YES! 9 more days!
Crossing borders inside Schengen is quite chill.
I was part of the local crews you talk about a few years ago. I love your speech and the thanks you give them. So many memories watching your vlogs!! Thanks dude !
Soo great! We need much more behind-the-scenes- content! I am impressed about the good vibes although it is very, very stressful for all of them! Tank, I am happy you found the perfect crew and traveling party!
Another banger Tank! I have never been so excited to watch someone do their job.
Hell yes man! You are a genuine and awesome fella and I am as happy for you being there as I would be for myself, honestly! This is truly a great point of view at the whole touring experience, which I experienced myself at least for a bit on tour with In Flames. I love this band for a while now and to see them behind the scenes is just so cool! Especially seeing that they truly love what they do and everyone respects each other! The best thing about these videos is that it confirms what I thought of Nico especially, that he is such an awesome down to earth fella who loves his job! Or as I would describe him to people "He seems like someone you would instantly bring home as a best friend!" :D safe travels! Enjoy your time off and then come back for some more kick ass shows!
Absolutely love these videos! You're talking about the trucks and the unloading and building the stage at around 6:15. I think it would be awesome if you could set up a tripod and make a timelapse of that on the next location. Keep these videos up!
That would be fun!
I second this motion
While waiting for the tanklapse, Rammstein have a published timelapse for their Europe Stadium Tour 3 years ago. That is a 7 day build so not really the same scope, still really interesting to see though
What a cool gift. Andy is the man! 🤘
Also, I've always wondered what happened to him after Toy Story.
Now we know 😁
Amazing VLOG as always Tanky,
it's just amazing to see how close the entire band and crew is. i can't think of a time where i heard
the phrase "i love you" as frequently as in these ec-vlogs. it's just so wholesome and heartwarming to see.
I can't wait to see you guys on saturday.
i wish you and the boys an amazing rest of the tour and enjoy your time off.
see u in stuttgart
I love to see all the BTS from the shows! I remember in Berlin when Chrizzly was testing the drums (I think) and my boyfriend and I were stunned how talented he is! Everyone working on this tour seems to be so awesome ❤
Thanks Tank for sharing this!!! Have a nice trip home and some quality time with Claire and Ingrid. 🤩
"Hurrikan" from David's POV was really cool in this one! 🤘
yeah and its crazy how it sounds, because the whole sound is directed via the speakers to the audience in front on the stage and on the stage itself its quite "silent".
I love the insight as to what goes on BTS.The crew did so well to get that done in time and sounchecked early. Thats impressive. What is more impressive is that you and Daniel beat Nico and Bollo at FIFA lol.
That pyro is insane. I wonder how hot it is to be just 10 ft away from massive flames. Also you dont realise how big that place is untill you see the 5 trucks inside the venue at the end. I didnt even know they could get in there
I wish I could go on tour just to get some of that breakfast. That looked so nice. And yes butter before jam or nutella
Yet again I had a smile on my face throughout the whole video. This is what I call content.
Btw Tank, you’re such a German by now, it‘s adorable. We love you. ❤
In Switzerland u will find everytime a very good crowd, people come from France Germany Austria Italy. Thx 4 this VLOG.❤
The more you keep in the videos, the better they get. These can't be too long in my opinion. As other are stating, even just the simple stuff like grabbing cups and other support is fascinating for those of us on the outside. Appreciate you sharing and going through all the work to edit. Rock on brother and enjoy the family time. Much deserved
[german affection intensifies] subtitle had me giggling
thanks for the vlogs love the videos~
Swiss border crossings are not too harsh, if the paperwork looks alright and headcount matches they don't mind. I've been waved through without any checks a few times too. Now sometimes they'll pick out a random check or if someone messed up the paperwork they can get *very* thorough.
I was at the concert in Basel and it was wild 🔥 unfortunately I didn't get to see you Tank, would've been so nice to meet you. I've been watching your videos since your first reactions to EC. 🤘🏼
Tank is the official Jager provider for Electric Callboy
I really had no idea how much went into shows! Every episode we’re seeing more behind the curtain. Rigging the lighting at the start. There’s a cherry picker & trucks inside the venue at the end! Who knew?! Loving this series, Tank, even though I never expected to enjoy this type of content very much.
It makes me feel great how well you are getting along in Germany. How people are to you and how you are to them. You can tell how much you like the band and the people around it and hope that you'll be working with them for a long time.
It takes a special person to make certain that others have it easy,thinking ahead,knowing what's next ...you rock Tank..
Please do a timelapse of the build of the stage with lights and sound and gear and everything. that would be super interesting!
A story about the catering of a band on tour: (I'm soo happy to welcome Gossip here in Hamburg, again) when I 1st watched 'em live, it was the "standing in the way of control" tour, Beth quoted: "your McDonalds, here on the Reeperbahn is sooo great!"
I could watch those vlogs all day
Another amazing vlog. I dont know how the band feels about it, assume good, but this just shows the love and brotherhood of everyone there. And it makes me love the band even more. Amazing seeing you speaking more and more german and being a brother welcomed in their arms.
Is ever stuff lost/forgotten on these tours? i mean seeing the hallways filled with stuff that must happen occasionally. Btw.. much respect for everyone working there, long days, hard work and it seems very professional while still having tons of fun.
If anything gets forgotten, it's usually personal items. VERY rarely do cases get left behind, as there are Stage Managers and Production Managers watching the truck packs and making sure everything makes it into each truck.
More of that! More of that! Ehre und Stärke!
Yoooo Tank! The idea of the welcome letter in the envelope with the pass is great. I am 100% stealing that idea from you for my next tour haha. And printing names onto sticky labels.... why have I been writing them out by hand all this time!!!!
So great watching this and extra fun to see the Duolingo typical, the apfelschorle😂😂😂 Thanx Tank
I absolutely love this stuff. It makes me like you and the band a million times more. Thanks for the insight.
The show in Basel was just such a banger. One of the best shows I’ve been to ever. Thank you for your great insights bts.
47:45 Oh my God, 3rd time watching and I JUST NOW noticed the wifi password😂😂😂
Ah, zis is vonderful german funnies, ja!
I was in that crowd and the whole crowd singing "I want it that way" was kinda magical
I'ts been almost two weeks and the high still hasn't come down from that show
Watching this behind behind the scenes stuff is super cool, makes me love the relation between you and the band even more (note: i cried when i read you IG post after the US tour)
I work in tv back room operation. Done so for 18 years. Always fun to see what happens to make the magic happen. We are different but also have fun similarities. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the band and crew for allowing it. Been a few times at the station where people live stream or film and you don't wish to be in shot. But what a fun thing to see. Have a good break.
watching these make me feel like I'm transported into your world for a bit, its fantastic.
Another superb vlog, the edits, camera work, everything is totally wünderbar!
We men are all the same. Ofcourse we choose playing that 2nd half of EA FC 24 instead of doing your Soundcheck when Tank is asking you to.
I always find it amazing how fast these massive, complicated sound, video, and lighting systems get put together and broken down. There are so many people behind the scenes who make these shows possible, and the majority of gig-goers don't know they exist. An idea for when you return to Europe, set up a timelapse camera to capture the process of setup and breakdown from start to finish.
This show was insane
Hey Tank! I just wanted to echo what everyone else is saying in the comments. These videos are awesome. I’ve always wondered what life was like on tour for some of my favorite bands, and all your videos have given us an awesome look inside your lives. They’ve been super enlightening and entertaining, especially for those of us not in the music industry. We appreciate you man. Stay happy and stay healthy 🤘🏽
this remonds so much from the time I spend with Suomen Tivoli.. its so well knit and how everything just works and when it doesnt ppls rush to help to get the damn "set" working and this body cam is the best damn thingie, because it gives the real view of things
German non-nutritionist here: Apfelschorle was always pushed on us, when we did sports. It's the german Gatorade...especially 60/40 water/juice. Like there is something magical about that mix. :D
tank just dropping grade A top notch content, was not a massive fan of electric callboy before this but i am now,,even more so seeing the singer saying he fuckin loves his job to tank.just kinda reminded me why i love music, keep em coming tank
