I had the honour to attend the concert in Munich. And I can tell you in the category „young talented musicians playing their debut Album“ I can only remember Lenny Kravitz presenting Let Love Rule in 1989 which left me impressed and happy like Cardinal Black! This night will remain one of my all time faves. Thanks Chris for uploading and signing the record. Glad meeting you lovely people. All the best for the band! 😊

I was watching this episode on release day at about 7:00 pm, 10 seconds in i had to pause to take a look at the tour dates when i realized if i get in my car right now i can make it to the show in aflenz (2 hour drive). Amazing show in a small venue (which are my favorites), standing in front of Chris's amps was mindblowing. What a great player, what a great band! Super nice guys as well, got my album signed, shakehands and a little chat, left with a big smile on my face and the impression, that this truly was one of the best shows I've seen in a loooong time!

This is my favourite video on your channel so far. You're like an octopus, Mr. Buck, a multi-tasking Jack of all trades (in case you need an assistant tentacle, I volunteer!). BTS videos like this give us a glimpse of your tour life. It's very tough but rewarding. I laughed a lot with the nuts part and because of your intermittent quips. But my heart sank when you had to pay quite a sum for the fine. I'm thrilled to hear Cardinal Black is going to the U.S. This is excellent news! More power to you guys 🔥

It probably feels like quite a journey for you and I imagine along the way it's like slogging along through an unending bog, especially in contrast to the soul blessing joy of doing what you've been created to do in some form of another each day. Just know that your fans see and appreciate your hard work and we are all so thankful for you "runnin' down your dream" as you carry us along for the ride. My wife and I saw you in Cork while visiting Ireland in spring of 2023. Small intimate venue and despite a rampaging flu bug in the band you guys pulled of a stellar show with all the energy you could possibly have mustered. I can't wait for the day Cardinal Black hits the stage at the Ryman here in Nashville, TN. Blessings to you all, health and peace always. Cheers

What a great insight into life on the road for CB . I’d heard that touring Europe post Brexit is tough going between countries and cops etc not interested in some t shirts and merch to calm them down .

Wow Interesting to see that you do a lot of your own hard work carting equipment into gigs and setting up the stage. I guess it is only really the mega global bands that have everything done for them in advance I'm in a band that plays small pubs, and we generally - from leaving home, to getting home - spend 6 to 8 hours on a gig and it seems it's not just bands like us that have to cart all our equipment in and out of a gig... Well done for showing the reality, even though you are a well known guitar celebrity with a band that tours Europe, and plays venues like The Albert Hall (something I would have to have a Lottery win to fund myself - and only 20 people would turn up) ;-)
@iDominic425 ай бұрын
even more wow You are in a well known band, you personally are a celebrity guitarist - sorry, guitar magazines do interviews with you, and so on - and you still get pulled over by the Police, and get fined money that would make everything uneconomical for any other UK band of your size to do a tour .... and that's ignoring the cost of the paperwork that you probably have to go through just to play a single gig in Europe now the UK is out of the EU Perhaps that in itself is a video? It's something barely reported but is a far bigger problem and cost than it used to be?

Every bar I've played in that neared that size I always get told my little 1x12 18W amp is too loud, can I turn it down. Chris shows up with dual 4x10 amps and cranks them. Just love it. The dichotomy between what a local cover band has to deal with versus a real act at a venue. This looked like great fun. Hopefully you can manage a tour and get near to Chicago in the USA, that would be great! Can't recommend Fitzgerald's more, going to see Bros Landreth there next month and it's a great small/big venue like this one.
