[ROADIE VLOG #3] Show Day In Innsbruck, Austria (Electric Callboy Tour) 

Some FAQs from this vlog: Q: "Why does Nico use over the ear headphones?" A: A couple years back, he had a severe ear infection that led to some permanent complications, and was advised not to use in-ear monitors. Q: "Why at 27:01 does Nico say the show was so stressful?" A: He wasn't talking about the show. He was talking about THAT specific quick change moment. After "Hypa Hypa", both he and Kevin have about 12-15 seconds to change out of their outfits and be back on stage for the start of the next song. It has to be quick, and perfect, and sometimes that moment can be stressful having to run off stage and do that as quick as possible.

These raw Vlogs are what youtube used to be. Nowadays everything is "overproduced" to compete with everyone else. Gives me nostalgia (I know this was probably still a lot of work cutting and editing!) Thanks Tank!

Two things: First, thank you for the behind the scenes look at all the logistics and work that goes into a show. Second, thank you for unabashedly showing that it's OK for men to show love to other men. None of that toxic masculinity bullshit. Just men showing respect and love for each other. We need more of that.

“Say something to the people!” “Why? I hate people.” I identify with this man

Tank, the story how you ended up with Electric Callboy is worth to be captured in a book. 😂😂you really should think about it. From the first reaction until being sort of part of them . Absolutely unique

Hey Tank this comment is probably get lost somewhere but I just wanted to say thank you for everything. This was my first metal/tekkno show ever. I’ve been a metal fan for a while now, but unfortunately metal bands (or rock bands in general) don’t go to my country. It was until I moved to Austria to study (last year in September) that I saw Electric Callboy was going to be in Innsbruck. I live in a city 6 hours away from Innsbruck and I had absolutely no idea how I was going to get there or how I was going to afford the entire trip. I didn’t care and still managed to purchase the ticket because Electric Callboy is my top 1 favorite band of all time. Fast forward to the show, it was amazing. I went into my first pits, the sound, the set up, the screens, the pyro cues… everything out of this world, god I was so excited and having the time of my life. I started to follow you because I saw a video on RU-vid and saw you had the TEKKNO album on your wall and then figuring out you are the tour manager of my favorite was quite a surprise. But seeing now how much time, effort and care you put into everything you do is something worthy of admiration 🙌🏻 Huge thanks for doing these vlogs (this one especially) because it is like this immortal reminder of an awesome experience and it delivers us with more content from the band we love. I’m really happy they asked you to be on this tour too, I mean working with such great crew must be really nice. I really wish you the best in the upcoming shows and please keep up the good work these days is really hard to find quality content like yours and hope you keep improving your German (and not that I am the best at speaking German) but it already sounds amazing. Anyway this is my first time commenting in RU-vid I don’t usually do it but I felt the need to congratulate you for such outstanding job and let you know how much (we fans) appreciate your work. I know it’s long but hopefully you get to read it someday.

From "I think I have gotten trolled" at the start of a reaction to telling the crew and band he loves them all as he manages a full EU tour. Incredible.

I really like this vlogs. They complement the official ones so well with all the crew screentime and insights. Its like a behind the scenes for the behind the scenes 😄

Is this the nicest band and crew ever ? The vibe is so positive ❤✌🏻

The crowd yells "Zugabe", German for "encore" or "play some more" love this series ❤

these videos have made me appreciate this band even more..

Its great to see how your german is improving! And its lovely how willing to try and err you are. Its also great to get more insight into touring and the people who make it possible. Love from finland ❤

In Germany we love the lüften instead of the air conditioning. You really got to step up your lüft game.

Hope you stay their manager for ever!! So happy for you man & and you're such a great guy!!

36:16 I loved seeing Kevin putting away his wardrobes❤ Just shows how “Down to Earth” E.C. Really are!🤙🏾🔥

The fact that like everyone hugs each other before the show and is just so nice to eachother is so refreshing to see

I think what's so fascinating about these is really being able to see and appreciate just how much work goes into a show like this. There's so many moving parts and so much organization going on that it's mind blowing!

9:34 depending on the venue and the work currently underway, steel toe boots and high vis vest may also be requiered. Yes, safety standards are strict, but usually written in blood, so better follow them

I'm already mourning the time when these vlogs don't exist anymore. Totally great tank.

23:15 I was at the show and wondered why they didn't play the short guitar intro before best day. Now I know. And thanks for giving us such a unique perspective of the concerts tank 🤘. It's a great way to relieve such a crazy night.

U and EC fits so damn well. You all will have a bright future. Thanks for taking us with u on this journey! ❤ From Germany

Did you ever figure out who slept in your bunk??? Ahahahaha I love that David acknowledged that he'd lose the passes XD Seems like you did put that in a vlog. Nice. Wir suchen dich. "Whats up??" "I have farts." Beatutiful. Brings a tear to my eye. The pre-show love is so even more beautiful though!!! Fuckkkkkkk Pascal fixing himself up for Hypa Hypa in your cam is adorable, haha. And the obligatory Kevin trying to make out with the camera too, hmm... Damn, WIlly is such a vibe. Between trying to shank you and hating people....I feel him. lmao Great vlog Tank! I'm so glad you're having such a great time with these goobers. Glad you're home with your family for a bit, but also looking forward to whatever hijinks occur in the second leg of this tour

"Konsolenspeicher wird repariert" fkn classic.

I've only been subscribed to you for a short while, I found you as well as Electric Callboy via the BRRF video you did. You have became one of my favorites to watch, I find myself excited to see you post. I can see why the E.C. guys and everyone else adores you so much. You truly are a genuine dude. Absolutely love the 'behind the stage' style, keep up the great work

I love watching the interactions between everyone. Everyone staying loose and having fun, because how can you not have fun with these nerds?

I know you went into this a bit apprehensive about how these videos would turn out, but man these are awesome. Thank you for making them.

Thanks a lot Tank for taking us along. That must be a hell lot of stress, being in Europe, different language (btw your German is really good!!!), working hard, being apart from your beloved ones and also spending lots of time doing the vlogs. I really enjoy these insights, seeing the people who make these great shows happen. Can't wait to see the show in Stuttgart. Snitching your words: wherever you are in the world be safe, hope everyone around you is as kind as you are, we love you and hope to see you soon in another video ;-)

Seeing you and EC live will be something I will never ever forget and hold this entire event close to my heart! Its also amazing to see how much your german has improved especially with the pronunciation :D I also popped so hard when ya waved back at me, thanks for everything!💜

i love you and the camera guy pointing at each other each time you meet. makes me smile every time.

I grew up imagining a tour manager as a guy sitting backstage counting money and doing blow all night. I didn't realise how much grunt work was involved. Including, most importantly, getting the XBOX set up so Nico can play FIFA. 😄

I am so excited to finally see Part 3. I just love this Content and the insights you are able to share with us. Thank you for everything and much love from Bielefeld, Germany

Man, you and EC are pioneers in the music industry with the interaction with social media and backstage footage.

Not that I dislike your normal content, but I am LOVING these vlogs. As an ex road dog (toured in a metalcore band in the early 2000s), they make me smile.

These vlogs get better and better. Thank you for the glimpses into the touring life!

I never really thought about what goes into a show until I started watching these love of yours. Makes me appreciate it all the more. Thank you Tank

I just finished my own load out to come home and watch 40 min of other guys working haha...but it's awesome. I think you're doing a good thing for our industry. Cheers from Montreal.

Thank you so so so much for these interesting insights, it's so cool as a fan and concert visitor myself to see what is going on before and while the show in the background! Now I'm not just more than excited to see the show in Stuttgart, I am also already so very excited to see the bts of this show afterwards! 😁 Und ein ganz großes Kompliment für dein Deutschlernen, es hört sich schon richtig super an, wenn du sprichst! ✌️👏👏

You're telling each other 'I love you' more often than most couples do 😄❤

Thank you for doing these, Tank! It’s so cool to get a glimpse into what it takes to operate at this level and you can tell every person in the crew and band is as sweet as they are skilled. It’s easy to see why you love working with them so much.

I can easily see Tank's entire vocal inflection changing over time as he masters the German language. He's gonna go home with a weird accent.

Tank, these blogs are the best advertisement for the work you do - and maybe it’ll encourage others to want to go into this profession. I realize that’s not your intention, but it shows how organized you are, that you’re willing and able to go the extra mile, and that you really have the band, crew, crowd, and everyone else’s back at the end of the day. I won’t be shocked to hear that every band on the planet will be lining up to get you on their team after this tour is done. I have no doubt EC will always get the first priority for your time. I really enjoy seeing what goes into producing a show, as well as taking care of everyone on tour. This job isn’t for everyone, but you’re clearly in your element. I’m so glad you’re doing this and letting us understand the music industry better. When you come back home, I’d love to hear if there are issues at EU venues with ticket price gouging, merch wars, and all the other probs we have in the music industry in the US. Would be cool to do a comparison. Thanks, Tank!

Cam quality so good I actually saw myself in the crowd 😂 Amazing vlog man! Had me laughing so hard.

I love all of the mutual respect and love everyone from the front to the back of house has for each other. Yes, this is a job but it’s also very much a family type of environment. I was blown away when I went to the Seattle show and love seeing the back of house work that goes into the shows. I also love that even with the muted music from the directional speakers I still can pick out each song.

As one worked on background, after long day of travel and prepwork, chilling out for a few seconds and hearing starting whistle or beats is such a feeling. You've done your part, time for bit of enjoyment of the fruits of labor before getting back keeping the engine running.

Ich liebe diese Vlogs. So interessant zu sehen wie die Crew arbeitet (du gehörst ja dazu). Und du bist richtig sympathisch. Hier hat sich gefunden, was zusammen gehört - so viel Liebe ❤ am Start. Dein Deutsch ist echt sehr gut 👍

Got to love how the band and crew is interacting with the cams behind the stade even if tanks not at them. All for tanks content

I want to work in the touring industry, so seeing your vlogs make me so excited. Your vlogs are my favorite content on RU-vid right now, please don't stop!

As a truck driver / nightliner driver for events / concerts, it's interesting to see the whole thing from a different perspective. I mean our work starts when yours ends and most of the time we sleep while you work. Of course we also watch the shows etc. but this close contact with the crew/band is of course something very intimate and good. Thank you for these insights!

I love Tank being shocked to see the Alps. I spent a day in Innsbruck before driving to Italy way back in 95.

"Say something to the people." "Why? I hate people..." My man!! 🤣🤣

Hi Tank. Those vlogs are amazing. Can't wait for more !!!!

I love this peek behind the scenes you're giving us with these vlogs! This is something that fans don't usually get to see and it makes me appreciate all the hard work crews put into making these wonderful shows as good as they are.

We came over from the UK for the show in Innsbruck, and seeing this vlog of how it all went together just adds another dimension to how special it was, thank you ♡

As someone who has worked at a venue, thank you for taking off the glue remains from your signs!

Honestly, man. I enjoy watching these vlogs so much. Thank you for doing these and thanks to the band for allowing you to bring us with you, too. Keep up the great work!

Hello from Argentina, great videos, I can't wait to see the next one. I had no idea this band existed until I started watching your vlogs. They are very good and their show is spectacular. I hope they get promotion in South America.

Das "Hallo" klingt schon Cool. Tank redet so süß Deutsch. 🥰 This is my First Band Tour V log I ever see.

What a fun environment to work in, everyone's job looks really stressful but everyone just lightens it up with their good mood.

Love this series so much, making me nostalgic for my theater tech days in school. It’s also very nice to see just good vibes, jobs getting done well, and no one being a butthole, unless on purpose for ribbing purposes 😂. Also massive props to catering for delivering food that doesn’t look like a class 4 biohazard lol. I want a waffle 😢 lol.

Incredible to get an insight about what is happening backstage, in particular during all the quick changes. Very good fan service to give us an insight to that. Keep on going, hope you enjoy this 2nd tour with them as much as you did with your first one!

best vlog series i watched by far...pls continue this way. it's amazing to see what happens in the backstage of a gig

Love those vlogs 💚. Your pronounciation in german is actually terrific. My father in law, texan, is living here since 25 years, his is absolute dogshit, adorable tho 😂. Keep up your great work and those vlogs coming, cant get enough of that 😎.

Man, i Like these nearly uncommented BTS videos. Makes me feel like a little sneaky Mouse... Can't wait for the Basel one 😊

First thing to do: Setting up the games. Love it

It so nice to see the work of the people behind the stage ! Thanks a lot for that. @TankTheTech Would it be possible to do a deep dive into the pyro EC is using as ? The structure, safety aspects, the people who take care of it (if the want!) etc?

And what a show it was! Lucked out and somehow made it to front row - best show of my life! THANK YOU so much for posting these VLOGS - it's amazing to see what happens on the other side :) I'll be seeing you in Vienna :)

Saw EC's vlog and you are all throughout! Loved seeing the other side of the Spiderman meme 😅

Dude, this is so awesome to watch! So much amazing energy and passion. Thanks! Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

i fell asleep watching this vlog and had a dream of walking around in a big building, searching for the exit. Tank was waiting around every corner with bottles of water that he gave out. After a while i had like 20 of them and started to get stressed out because he kept adding and i couldnt carry any more i think tank does a good job making sure everyone stays hydrated lol

Your German pronunciation is great buddy, proud of you. You will be fluent in no time 😃It's so damn sweet how much you & the band/crew love each other, it really does feel like you are part of the family ❤

Love the vlogs, Tanky. Keep being the humble human being you are. Nothing but mad respect for you and the rest of the crew.

love this series so much! thanks for doing this!

Really like to see the precision, professionalism and pace of the load in and setup, but also the respect and friendliness of the band and crew. That’s a long day though, even if everything goes right! ❤

Love seeing this behind the scenes. Thanks a ton.

This made me smile. I just broke with the bit with the wig.

That is a great vlog once again crazy how entertaining these vlogs are

enjoyed this very much, thx tank!

Duuude I LOOOVE those videos 🫶🏻 Thank you Tanky!

Loving these vlogs and the German getting better Tank. Ever since the first vlog i was hoping they would be alot more. Keep it up and the Tour looks good so far. Hopefully Nico was right and they come back to Glasgow later this year as Oct 2023 now for me is the best gig i have ever been too.

Tank, thanks for all of the content. I look forward to these vlogs.

Thanks so much Tank ❤ love your VLOGS.

These are so fun/interesting to watch😁

This was so cool to see, thank you for taking us with you

I love the vibe of this tour. Everyone is so nice.

I love your Vlog Tank. Thanks for bringing us with you

Tank, this is the best stuff ever. I love the behind the scenes stuff day to day. Keep up the great work buddy 👍

Yeah the refusal to use air condition - even when it's available - really drives me nuts as well, especially at night. I like it cool. Love your vlog. I'll be seeing EC (and by extension probably you as well) at the show in Dresden in a couple of weeks. Take care.

I love these true behind-the-scenes vlogs, thank you for making them

Love the vlogs, love how you give us random details we wouldn't have been able to witness otherwise! Keep 'em coming!

Super interesting. My favorite series atm 😅

This is so cool to watch. ty for taking us with you.

Love that you’re doing this dude, lots of good insight into what happens behind the scenes

I love these. So much. They bring some warmth to my current life that I need.

Love so much that Tank goes from tour managing in the US to doing whatever is needed in Europe. That shows a ton of character. Def the kind of guy you want in your court.

Thank you, @TankTheTech for this very special BTS! And thanks to @electriccallboy to let this happen! I can´t say how I´m looking forward to next friday in Nuremburg and to repeat the party at Rock im Park! I Hope I can spot Tank in Arena Nürnberg this friday!
