Leaving this comment on the 4 year anniversary of posting this video, and this is what has happened because of this and since then: - Tour Managed Electric Callboy North American Tour 2023 - Road Managed the Electric Callboy European Arena Tour 2024 - Tour Managed Electric Callboy North American/Japan Tour 2024 - Did a run of 2024 summer festival dates with Electric Callboy - Made some lifelong friends - Going back to Europe in 2 weeks to continue Tour Managing the band - Possibly moving to Germany/Europe in the future Life is wild.
This video is history in it's making. :-D As for why I liked watching your videos right from the beginning: You bring a unique inside to these reactions. You know the business you know the equipment you know about music production. So it is always fun for me to listen what you have to say.
3 years later, he manages their tour, they survive the shitshow that was blue ridge, and now they’re practically family. But seriously, this video got me into them, they’re amazing
The fact that you identified them as German based exclusively on similarities to We Butter the Bread with Butter is incredible. I have no idea how in hell you caught that on your first listen.
Ever since hearing this song just a few days ago, my new fav hobby is watching reactions to it. Why? Cos I love seeing fellow metal heads fall in love with this song as quickly as I did
You made this video a bit less than 3.5 years ago....and less than 3 days ago you were crying in the back of a tour bus because you had to drop these guys and their crew off at the airport. It's almost too wholesome. I had to come back to rewatch this because is makes me so happy to see what this has all become. It is so insanely cool and I am so happy for you.
After learning Eskimo Callboy was German, it felt appropriate to put other German bands in the video and “Verrückt” felt very appropriate! Glad someone noticed!
@@TankTheTech Pretty underrated Band, sadly, they are more popular in russia. Funny you stumbled over them, they got some great tunes. If you like Cars at all, the Leadsinger of Eisbrecher had his own tv show with that Topic aswell, very nice guy
I wonder how many people are coming back and rewatching this reaction after their NA tour ❤ The world can work in a wonderful way, so happy for you and your journey!
I've seen a couple of reactors completely over-analyze this song... thank you for not being that guy and enjoying it for the fun song it was meant to be.
Looking at this 3 years later, on what I think is the last day of the EC USA tour... Look how far Tank has come.. From "Am I being trolled here?" to being their tour manager! Also from 50 to 230K subscribers!
If you only told Short-Beard-Tank right before watching this video that this band will be his first tour after COVID...it's just mindblowing how long our world has been standing still!
I watched all your EC reactions and I just wanted to thank Andy Shaw 3 years later for texting you that day and recommending Hypa Hypa because here I am - again - enjoying the reactions lol
Just watched the reaction video of the EC x Babymetal colab and checked the Babymetal reaction on YT and found this video again. It is such a pleasure to see how things evoleved over the last years. I´m nearly fifty and NEVER EVER have been a fan to a band and EC finally got me. But as stated in various of their and other reaction videos: you will fall in a rabbit hole when you like and follow them. And it is A REALLY GREAT PLEASURE to see what happend after this recommendation and reaction. Thank you for all the content and it is lovely to see how you chnaged over the last few years. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Drummer putting in an underrated performance in the video. I died when he’s standing on the kit smashing the cymbal. They’re no longer making music but my suggestion for a song you should check out is Delusions of Grandeur - Groovetrain.
I’ve seen a lot reactions to this. A surprising number of people just don’t get it. Even hardcore people were like “too cool” to get the humor. Thank you for immediately understanding the genius of this song and video. Thumbs up from me
I'm all about having a good time, and THIS is a good time. Haha. I totally understand your sentiments. Too many people are worried about putting off the "tough" image in some of these scenes and it's totally unecessary.
So crazy to think, this is the reaction that got me into my favorite band, then last Friday i got to see you on stage with them as there tour manager in new york city, thank you so much for everything you do Tank, i Absolutely lost my shit when i saw you come out!!! and so did the crowd, there were alot of Tank fans there :)
"This video has 3 million views in under a month.... and I haven't come across of it or heard about it? Come on!" Three years later Tank is tourmangering EC, and a video with Babymetal and Electric Callboy upload a video which has over 3 milion views in under 5 days :)
I'm predicting your channel will take off quick. Professional quality production, great analysis, and you have a great personality for this kind of channel. Keep up the good work brotha. You got my sub for sure!
@@TankTheTech Yeah i literally never watched reaction videos, found your channel. I watched mc thunder 2 and the cool little facts, awesome genuine reaction, barely any pause. Good stuff man!
Had to revisit this video after watching your "Ratatata" reaction. It's crazy to think how so much has changed since this video. I'm glad to see that you're not just reacting to them, but are actively a part of the band now. It's amazing.
I subscribed to your channel after you had already gone on tour with the guys. And now going back to the first moment you saw them. This is so nice to see!
@@TankTheTech cause on every reaction they wrote its now the "german empire" But like the nsa some swiss and austrian, also italian people can understand too :D :D :D :D
It's just adorable watching this after I found you through Electric Callboy and I just watched how they are ruining your RU-vid. Your reaction was close to my experience with electric callboy except my entry was pump it and it randomly showed up on yt radio after hours working hard. Been obsessed ever since!
It is, as you guessed right a german band. The song itself is a respectful nod towards the"Scooter" hit . The style of the musicians , i guess, is a reminiscence to a dutch comedy show called "New Kids", what was also very popular in Germany (and still is, ... Junge!)
This video really shows why Tank's channel has been successful. Tank you've got a great way of making the video about the content instead of yourself and adding something to it with your comments. Never change! I'll be at the show in Portland this week!
Just came here for a throwback to the day that I discovered Tank ... And I had to smile A LOT when he said "Im gonna have this stuck in my head for probably the next few days" ... and here we are around 1 year later and Tank went ultra deep into the rabbit hole with the entire MMXX - Hypa Hypa Edition. Loving it!
Went back today to where the story began. I loved watching your reaction, the joy and pleasure with a song and band you didn't know. Seeing where it took you almost three years later just adds to the enjoyment of this video as a viewer. Again, wishing you the best of times with Electric Callboy on tour, hoping there will be time for your family as well. Happy travels.
it's so sweet looking back on this video, after seeing his recent one on being their tour manager. the most meaningful and wonderful thing in life is the family you find along the way
One of my favourite ractions and had to come back say...this is like a time capsule from the first time hearing them and then finishing the US tour with EC. Congratulations Tank the man. So proud🤘
I came sometimes back, when i fell a little bit sad. After watching this i feel better. It's a joy to watch your change from wtf to pure fun. Keep up Tank, you do a great job.
How far my man Tech has come, this was my first video of you that I watched (long time electric callboy fan) and you thanking for 50 subs, now that I’m rewatching it is so funny and cool to see haha 👉
“So far it reminds me of WBTBWB” has now aged really well lol. Also a credit to you that I’m now going back in the logs to find reactions of yours I missed. Good shit man!
Well, I'm not just listening to the song for the whole day, I also just found a new channel that i just subbed to. You good sir are a so sympathic person. I think I'm gonna sit here and just watch all of your stuff. Greetings from germany!
He's happy about 1000 views. How cute. I have now literally watched every video from top down to this one. I love your channel, your content. You've chosen a lot of my favorite bands (and German bands as well) Greetz ;)
Come back to this every few months. There's an authenticity here that can never be replicated. Afraid of being being trolled, and the delight of realization. Why I started loving this channel and why I still do.
