Kevin joining the FaceTime with tank’s daughter is the absolute most wholesome thing I’ve ever heard

But for a German, what David said made sense although it should have been ”on the umbrella” 😂

Ingrid calling Kevin Spaceman is just the single most adorable thing I've ever heard

I was really starting to think that David is just playing his bad English but the sentence "Do you still have the tablets infront of your umbrella" just kills me as a German. The word-to-word translation is "Hast du noch die Tabletten auf dem Schirm?" which means "Do you still have the medication in mind?". This is a truly "not the yellow from the egg"-moment and I love this!

Its so cool seeing how energised and revitalised Tank is after this tour. Bet it hardly feels like work when you love the band and their people.

As a german, the David/Umbrella story damn killed me 😂😂😂

tank seems like he sincerely cares about the bands he works with and it really shows

The Umbrella part cracked me up. There is whole art of literrally translating German idioms into English.

I’ve never really thought about the work that goes on behind the scenes to get a show/tour going. This is infinitely interesting.

Kevin is spaceman. That makes my heart so happy. Can't explain how happy this makes me to hear more joy from Callboy. Would seriously travel ANYWHERE to see them again.

At rockcircus, a festival in the netherlands where electric callboy played, we had a guy in wheelchair crowdsurfing. Everybody was very carefull with him and he was having an absoluut blast! It was so amazing to see. The band themselves went wild when they saw it too.

as a german living in the states, germans complain a lot too BUT afterwards. while everything is going on everyone is focused on getting the job done no matter what and with whatever is provided

"Hast du die Tabletten noch auf dem Schirm?" = "Do you have the tablets on your umbrella?" = "Do you have the pils on your (radar) screen?" = "Do you remember the pills?" Schirm (umbrella ) is also short for "Bildschirm" (screen) and the reference is about a screen monitoring what's going on currently. We Germans love direct translations that don't make sense for English speakers.

Dude I don't know about Denver, but Toronto was insane with the crowdsurfers, I was at barricade and we barely had a moment respite, and Dajoe couldn't get in there to shoot because of that. The whole venue had a sheen of moisture/sweat covering every single surface at the end, disgusting. And Montreal, in comparison, brought the GOOD TIMES. The crowd was so hyped, the most excited I've seen in years, singing, dancing, clapping, stomping, chanting "ohé-ohé" before the band even came on. It felt so good, it was so much fun, and positive! At barricade again and it was way more manageable in terms of crowdsurfing. I also remember Bollo posting a story about how he loved Mtl's energy. Had the chance to speak with the boys and they are the most absolute sweethearts I've ever met. They are so nice and attentive and like for sure when you they this band and crew are the vest you've toured with, I can 100% believe it. I do think David's English is the most endearing thing, but for sure he plays it up in vlogs, when we spoke he was doing really good I thought. Omg Lily kicks ass, she was not playing around with the VIPs and I really appreciated that. A real pro! Don't say things like cancelling Canada shows 😭😭 my poor heart, even though it obviously didn't happen Oh yeah after the show in Montreal (so 4th in a row) Kevin said he was glad of a breaking cause he was straining. That's a tough schedule, 4 in a row! So the hairdryer thing is not just a bit? Omg 😂 And it was great chatting with you too Tank, and thanks for everything, the stories, answering the questions, many happy returns and I hope when the guys come back, you'll be part of the team again!

As someone who's been subscribed to you from sub 1k subscribers and hung out on your Discord for a while, it's just so wholesome to hear about your success with Electric Callboy. The very band that actually brought me to your channel :) Much love Tank, keep doing what you're doing and keep being you!

I guess the thing about this band is that they started as some dudes that just liked to hang around and do some music with each other. And that type of band they have been for years. Well Nico is "new", but from the old footage it seemed that they also picked him because it just did click with him was well. And they managed to keep this attitude till today and are just amazed about whats happening at the moment - I mean filling all this not small clubs in the US and even bigger arenas here in Europe and run a production on that level is also new for them. And this attitude just makes you chilled and grateful - and of course triggers your own inner play child, because now you can bring things to the stage you have always dreamed of. Guess that is what has formed the spirit of this tour.

I taught German for a bit in the Aberdeen region. I really loved the way you had to sleuth around in order to understand some of the mistakes that the students made. Reverse-engineering the use of the dictionary and so on. I started to collect such absurde translations. Auf dem Schirm, on the umbrella. That goes on the list.

This is _such_ a great video. I love all the stories, but one thing jumps out at me. If it was really Excedrin, I hope someone told David to be careful with the dosage. If you take too much acetaminophen, or take it with something else that has acetaminophen in it without realizing, or if you combine it with alcohol, it can do a lot of damage to your liver. I mean, it's safe. There's no way it should be a prescription medication. But for a headache after a night of drinking, absolutely do not take Excedrin. Regular aspirin is better in that case, and don't take more acetaminophen than it says to on the label. If he still has that bottle, PLEASE tell him to be nice to his liver. I'm assuming the EC boys all drink, and anyone who drinks potentially not knowing that worries me.

"every night we had to get more coke" aaah, tour days 🤯

Really wholesome hearing great stories about touring and not horror stories like you'd usually hear. Kevin being Spaceman for your daughter was the cutest thing I've heard haha. Electric Callboy are such an awesome band can't say it enough!

🗣☂ hahahha So glad you had an amazing experience! Awesome to have met you finally, too! Can't wait for the next one! 😀

Gold. All those little things and moments are what I miss most of touring. We were always based in Hamburg while touring in Europe and I had a German Drum Tech, Fridge, and merch guy, Larry. and TM. I love their humor, and work ethic. The band I went there lots with Is a Aussi band Rose Tattoo. You might have even heard of them I miss it lots.

So funny to hear Denver was the wildest show. Every show I go to I hear the bands say that we are one of their favorite crowds but I’m always like “yeaaa okayyyy” so to hear it from you is validating 😂 STILL SAD I MISSED THE EC SHOW but hope the band brings you and themselves back here sometime soon!

Yeah the boys just need to bring you on full time at this point, what a healthy and wholesome partnership!

as a German guy, I would literal translate "auf dem Schirm" as "on the Screen". But I kind of know why he said umbrella. A "Schirm" is mostly something that covers / shields / protects something or Someone. Regenschirm = Umbrella → covers you from Rain (DE: Regen) Sonnenschirm = Parasol → shields the sun (DE: Sonne) Fallschirm = Parachute → protects you from damage caused by falling (DE: fallen, Noun: Fall) Lampenschirm = Lampshade → covers the Lamp (DE plural: Lampen) and shields the light Bildschirm - Screen → In case of the Bildschirm (Screen), the "Schirm" refers to the surface on which the image appears. This surface serves as a protective device for the image, shielding it from outside influences such as dust, dirt, or damage. It also creates a boundary between the image and the viewer. Germans often abbreviate "Regenschirm" to "Schirm" in cases were it's obvious. They also do this with "Bildschirm". If Bildschirm (Screen) = Schirm & Regenschirm (Umbrella) = Schirm, the mix-up is funny but explainable :-)

Just watching this makes the love this band even more. They're wholesome gents and obviously super talented. They're my go to when I'm feeling down and out. Anywho, what was Kevin and Nico's warm up routine?

Man when I got into EC, the Algorithm got me into you at the same time. It’s like 2 universes colliding for me. Like a Marvel/Dc crossover or a successful Metallica/GnR tour

I´m from Germany and I actually was on vacation in the US around the time you guys were touring. I was actually in LA while they played there. Sadly everything was sold out but I would've loved to see them again.

Thanks for sharing this. I'd love a stream with one of the electric callboy guys to hear their experience, too.

I'll never not call it Virgania and Sacaramento ever again! P.s. i will probably never meet them in person, but i'm equally happy you spent the time with them and make beautiful friendships. And luckily, this is technology age, so you can see them through video calls whenever you want ❤

As someone who's from Denver and has basically only ever seen concerts here, a lot of bands will comment on how great/nuts our crowds are here - I've always been skeptical and figured most bands say that to every crowd in every city. It's nice to hear that we do indeed bring the hype.

David is such a freaking great guy. And I love that somehow, his english is more broken than my german. 😂

In Germany at th Hamburg gigs there are 12 bodybuilding style secus. They have a lot to do. Last time there was a guy who surved 6 times. At the last time he came we front row gals had the urge to let him fall down. But we were kind, lol. Shout out to my female friends from the St. Pauli rugby team! You are the best company at front row! You make sure the smaller girls at front row have a great gig amd can breath! Never without you!

Very nice, thank you Tank. I could listen to you for hours as you talk about this beautiful tour. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm looking forward to parts 3, 4 and 5 😉😁🤘

🤘🏻😁💭 My cousin Timmy is a retired bus driver for bands. He drove for probably 25 years or so. And just like what you're doing, talking about your experience, I loved hearing Timmy's stories lol. I'm so jealous.. You have the best job ever!!

I was crowd surfing like 12 times at the danforth in Toronto and it was the hottest show I've ever been to. My patch pants were soaked in sweat. I brought and extra change of clothes

I was at the Denver show and that energy was INSANE!! Like top of the list of best concerts ever! All 3 bands, crowd, energy, everything! Fantastic job managing that!!

Was at the Denver show and it was insane, i was 2 rows from the barricade and was having to keep a eye on security for when crowd surfers were coming. Also is great to see myself in the videos.

I really wish that I could have see Electric Callboy when they toured in the United States. I live in Texas and they completely skipped the state of Texas. It was a sad day when I realized that they wouldn’t be coming to Texas. I’m glad that you had a blast.

I remember when you made like one of your first reactions to EC and then at some point you said you might work with them and yeah... the rest is history. I just love your stories. So funny and wholesome. You guys fit so well... perfect vibes!

Electric Callboy is the most nonsensical fun you can have in music. Amazing. So Happy for you Tank.

I love david and his drumming.

You and the boys literally made my year. The show was incredible, really wish there were meet and greet opportunities, but that's okay. I'm glad you had the time of your life, and I hope that you get to have the same experience next time. :)

You will more than likely not see this post. Your channel is what got me listening to Electric Callboy. Few weeks in and I'm hooked

Haha the story of Ingrid calling Kevin "Spaceman" instantly reminds me of that spaceman-daycare-moshpit😂❤

We went off here in Denver. Funnest show I've ever been to.

Danke dir für die Einblicke Tank .

Such awesome insides! Thanks Tank, for sharing that!!! 🥰

You know what, I think all bands just LOVE Denver. I just figured every band that came through just said "this is our favorite show of the tour" at every show of the tour...lol. So, maybe Denver is every bands favorite hahaha

I've lived all over the country and I'll say that Denver has some of the wildest shows. Not sure what's up with the energy here, but I've never been to a bad/quiet show in Denver.

I wish I had come to see you guys in Toronto!!! I’m so happy to see you get to share such an amazing experience with such a unique band!! You’re such an important part of the online music scene, thank you so much!!!

My tiny little wife want's to extend a thank you for being able to hear this band. I told her to go check them out. It's right up her alley. Nice.

Loved hearing these stories.

So nice to hear you've had a good time! And damn, you look recovered 😅

This was such a great insightful video! Love content like this especially as a touring musician myself. Looking forward to seeing more!!

I am enjoying your vids. It reminds me of when I was working at a 400 person room. Really brings back a lot of memories.

Great to hear about the German work ethic! I'm in manufacturing these days and when machinery was built from there they were friendly, polite, and went about their business. I have to admit when I was working shows there were some wtf moments, but not out loud. Nice to see how much you care Tank!

Just heard Electric Callboy on Octane (XM radio)Friday and fell I love. (Kind mad I didn’t know about them sooner) I spent this whole weekend watching videos and interviews and am absolutely in love with this band. They seem like amazing people! I love your relationship with them and am happy that you got to be their tour manager! I bet you made some amazing lifetime memories.

Really enjoyed this video dude 🤘 I'm so glad it went brilliantly and much fun was had from the sounds ,they definitely picked the right guy for the job and it shows from your reactions and there interaction with you , congratulations on the tour to you,electric and all involved 🤘🤘🤘

Saw the show in Montreal. It was terrific. Thanks to you and the band for a great night. Hope everything went ok for you guys too.

Denver was awesome! Glad you gave it a shout out! Was a party!

I Am so happy for you Tank :D

I need to thank you for putting these guys on my radar! Holy crap, I'm in love with em. New to the party, but I'm firmly planted and cant wait to see whats next. Thanks again man!

I'm so glad this tour went so well. So nice meeting you

I’m so happy my old friend in middle school showed me these guys. This was sometime around 2012, idk it was so many years ago. I’m proud to have been here listening to the guys over all these years seeing their success.

Tank, I am so happy for you that you could make that experience and that it was so much fun for you. I wish I could meet you one day. You seem to be very chill and kind. Maybe one day you can be again tourmanager for EC. 🎉😂

I was at the denver show and was given water a lot. Between nearly every song they passed out water and if you asked they give you some. It was awesome

Your videos are great ! I tour with a friends band , most people don't have a clue what it's like . Absolute craziness sometimes and a lot of hard work .

Hope that if they come back to your again and you get the chance to manage them y’all can come to Houston! Really cool to hear how you bonded with the guys that have kids. Being a dad I know how it feels to be away for extended periods of time and FaceTime doesn’t always help cure the missing them.

I love seeing your name in their live video credits…I’m so happy that you were able to work with them and that it was an amazing experience for you all.

Stoked to hear about how well the tour went! I had a ticket for the original one that got cancelled, and was super sad to hear that there were no rescheduled dates for Texas, but hopefully I can come out for the next one! Sounds like this was the experience of a lifetime to say the least!

I just love a 100% positive feel good video every once in a while. As much as all the discussions about venues, tours, merch, bands and other "inside stuff" that me a random concert goer and fan have not clue about is why I watch this channel to begin with, some pure unequivocal love is always welcome :D

So glad for you!

The stage the played on at Blue Ridge, the stage was up a slight hill I couldn't imagine trying to crowd surf up a hill 👀 it was so cool to see them live.

In a perfect world, ill see you and ELC here soon in Vegas. Cheers!

Tour stories are my favorite of your content 😮

This makes us want to quit our jobs and go on tour lol

I know it's a little late with this comment, but thanks for introducing me to Electric Call Boy. They are so much fun and I can imagine how great a live show is. They remind me of a band that would have been happily in the Wax Trax stable in the ancient times of yore. Hope you get to tour with them again and bring them to Indianapolis.

Thank you so mutch for takeing care of our Boys and sharing that experiance with us. If I had a Band and we woud be touring throu the US, I would wnat you as tour manager. You are the best. Stay as you are. Greetings form Germany!

Thank you Tank. I had never listened to Electric Callboy but gave them a shot and wow, they go hard. Different to what I usually listen to but I dig it.

Denver was such a good show! Glad to hear we could be crazy enough for you! 🤘

wholesome. everything about this! ❤🤘🏻

I'm so happy I was at the Denver show! It was awesome!

The Philadelphia show was a blast! I spent most of the night in the pit and everyone was just so happy to be there

Im gonna be seeing them in May I wanted to go last year but was bit out of my price range. Can't wait

i’m also totally a hairdryer lover. Its just so calming and warm.

Great seeing and hearing you on my local rock station in Tucson talking to Beef Vegan. Great interview!!!

I almost feel special having been at the Blue Ridge show lol. Traveled there mainly for electric callboy and was glad to at least see them so thank you all for sticking it out and making it happen. I live near Cincy so with EC being announced for Sonic Temple I’m hoping there is a spring headline run though I will have to travel for it. Festivals are cool but I want the full EC experience

I was front row at the denver show! It was awesome! Had such a great time

Can confirm about the Denver show, I was there and it was a blast.

Hi Tank, I would love to see a video about what all a tour manager does. Also, are there unspoken rules or superstitions about touring?

After hearing how high is Denver and how high is Mexico City, I think I'm going to resign myself to seeing Electric Callboy in Mexico. Here we are more than 2200 meters above sea level, we also have earthquakes. Damn, I think I should consider going to Europe to see them instead.

So happy you had a great time with them! Kinda bummed I didn't get to meet you though. And yeah Danforth Music Hall got sweaaaatyyy af 😂

I really enjoy this channel and listening to some of your content even though I’m not on metal head, I’m definitely more of a country music type of guy that will listen to other forms of music because like you have said multiple times, music is subjective and I know what I like and I know what type of music I don’t like I do like Those videos that pull back the curtain just a little bit on the music industry. I find that very interesting.

Was at the Denver show. Yeah there was like 2 crowd surfers per song. Was nuts.

I went yesterday at an EC show at Musilac in France, is it strange to say that i hoped to see you near the stage? 😆 It was so fun btw!!!

Tank, it Sounds like you had a lot of fun touring with electric callboy. I love the fanboy moment you had at the first soundcheck tho lol.

You should ask for permission to do a video on the band’s rider. Maybe just don’t show the hospitality section/ names if they’re not comfortable. I think everything else would be super interesting! Maybe the venues tech rider as well.

Yeah Phoenix is brutal. If I remember correctly you guys were out here during our heat wave of doom too. Might not have been during that, but either way Phoenix heat is horrific to non locals

Seeing Sevendust for show 52 this month. Those guys are so incredibly awesome
