Yeah, I will admit, it's a little weird. I don't mean people actually doing it; they're not weird. I'm just not used to it and I'm really socially awkward when it happens.
It's mindboggling to see all the things that are going on behind the scene, to make sure the show runs like a well-oiled machine. Thank you so much for these glimpses behind the curtain!
When Nico whas talking to you . About he wanted you always by his side that whas Awsome . The show looked insane crowd whas nuts. Thanks a lot for this inside look.🤟🤟🤟
The words that Nico spoke, it felt so sincere and literally coming from the heart, i watched like 3 times just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. At the end of the day its your decision and you must choose what's best for you and your family, but man if you decide to move to Germany, that'll be awesome! But what a journey! From a youtube reactor, to tour managing one of the biggest international bands right now!
I'm sure they're all really awesome guys, Kevin especially seems like the guy that's everybody's friend. But from Tank's perespective we see a lot of Nico, and he seems like the kindest, most genuine guy around. I don't even know him but am sure I'd love to be his friend. Such a fantastic, charismatic bloke.
@@DividedQueen makes sense. It's a bit of a thing in the industry of putting on shows that the people watching don't notice when things go wrong, so a lot of people who perform regularly don't really think about it, but yeah, it is kinda wild to think about
What I find remarkable is how EC is absolutely cool with your vlog. I know other artists who want NOTHING - ZERO - posted of them other than when they are performing. Band and crew are verboten from posting any behind the scenes photos/videos publicly. This is a very special thing that you've got here with that band.
I mean they have nothing to hide. They are always (on stage and backstage) the same friendly, down-to-earth guys and that's very wholesome to watch. We need more bands like them, so working in the bizz is fun for everyone involved.
I actually agree with you. Knowing these guys how I do now, it makes sense because they're just fun and don't really do anything inappropriate or have anything to hide. But man, not a lot of artists would be cool with this. There are some other roadies that do vlogs as well, but you never see the artists are backstage stuff really going on, but you can thank the guys for allowing me to do it.
@@TankTheTech It's amazing. And having only discovered your channel with your Ren video (and watched every one since) I went back to see when you first mentioned Electric Callboy (Eskimo Callboy) and ... your 3rd video! When you had a short beard. July 15, 2020. Your reaction to them then was as enthusiastic then as you are now. It's all really special. All of it. One day, I'll tell you the story of how I elevated an artist's guitar tech to semi-celeb status with a rather large fandom. I didn't do it intentionally. But, in conversations with him over the years, he's told me how very strange it all was at the beginning with the crowd chanting his name and giving him gifts. ...And he doesn't even have a vlog LOL! Best of luck on the tour. It really is a joy to watch.
@@TankTheTechThey really seem like a band that understands and utilizes stuff like this, their own RU-vid vlogs with Christian, and social media in general to both market themselves and give a more intimate/personal touch to the band. It's really quite smart and more bands should take advantage of things like that.
@@Anuta6675 I was lucky they had a merch booth outside and the people there were kind enough to take it. And I was even luckier to meet Tank inside after the show and asked if he'd gotten it yet 🥰
These vlogs are so mindbogglingly good. The moment Nico told you he wants you to be there on the stage with him all the time had me tearing up. So freakin' wholesome!
Possibly the most German thing to say about your Vlogs incoming: They show the recurring, routine tasks and the tedium involved for the band and crew. But I assume all of it serves the purpose of maintaining the quality and being ready for mishaps like mic packs lost, taking care of a band member that did not feel well - all the things that usually go unnoticed. Thanks for showing us the professionalism of the crew, so that the crowd can enjoy themselves. Every show.
Whats Nico is saying at 34:00 is really really nice. Its absoluste crazy that all of this started a few years ago because you reacted to some of their music Video, and now he doesnt want to tour without you. Thats such a cool Story. I'm really happy for you.
Wild story arc. That exact reaction is how I got to Tank's channel and from Tank's channel to so many other bands. It was when covid hit, we were renovating the house we just bought pretty much on our own, and a child to follow 2 years later, and now because of EC and Tank I was so hyped for this show, my first concert in 5 years. I am just so happy to have been a part of this
Every vlog is getting better and better. Having people chant your name, and then Nico confessing they want you there for the rest of time. I love how just unerringly positive these guys are, and I love how much fun you are obviously having.
Nico saying "do we deserve this" Hell yes. They found a way to make people very happy and cheerfull. feel good. They found a way to inspire. To set metal in a new light. To unite peope. They get people laughing and have fun. They found a way to have a positive impact on probably millions of people. So yes they deserve it. And may sound weird, but Tank you aswell. same kind of vibe and same results in your own way. Thats why those people were shouting TANK! because how weird as it may be, you made a positive impact on them because of your approach to things. The content you make. Btw.. still think you should do the Castrop spandau song on stage with them in the shows.
"I don't want to miss you, man, ever again. I want you to be on that side of the stage for the rest of my life, man." Wow hit me right in the feels this morning. That's got to be a huge compliment. Electric Callboy has to be some of the nicest dudes out there.
34:27 omg this just brought tears to my eyes. Nico is so humble and kind (well I think) and I don't know but that moment was so heartfull. Thanks for sharing this moment between you to too us. I want a friend like that for myself to.
This is a gift to all concert/live music fans and specially EC fans. It feels like i am actually there and a part of it. It is such a joy to watch your tour VLOG. Please continue. And overall have fun and enjoy the time. Thanks's
oh yes, so true! I saw the show front of stage and I´m so glad to see the whole thing again from the other perspective - with some shots spotting myself in the crowd, that´s very crazy!
I love the small wholesome talks between the songs! These guys are so fucking humble although they‘re basically world stars. That‘s one of the reasons they‘re my favorite band! Love these vlogs! ❤
The heart to heart between Tank and Nico during the Kurwa song was so sweet. In entirely unrelated news, some guy called Ian is looking for good nurseries/kindergarten near Castrop-Rauxel
Great vlog again 😃 Love to see how much you've become part of the team there 😊 And from a recycling pov also love the reusing of all those signs for pointing out where to go 😃
Okay, so as of now this account is 13 years old and this is the first comment ever - but I just have to. I've been to that show with my wife, standing in the front row destroying our voices while singing and screaming along, getting drenched in sweat (where half of it wasn't even ours) and partying along hard. We got totally destroyed. And it was so awesome and more than totally worth it! I've been to a shitload of concerts in the last like 30 years and I've seen EC before, but this show here? Man I am lost for words, never had such an experience. The energy, the crowd, the music, the production - nothing less than pure perfection. Thank you and all of the crew for making this happen.
Venue: *puts up weak paper signs* Tank and his stack of premium signage: 'Am I a joke to you?' *RIP* great video again man, this has been so interesting to watch.
I think this was the best tour vlog so far. It's great to see how well everyone gets on and works together. It seems like there's a real camaraderie on this crew and it's so heartwarming. And what Nico was saying during the Hypa Hypa changeover was beautiful. The sincerity in his voice is undeniable. He is a lucky man to get to do what he does, but I can't help feeling that it couldn't have happened to a nicer or more deserving man than him. I hope he gets to continue doing this job for many years to come.
I don't know how this is possible, but with every vlog I adore this band and their crew more and more. Being so professional, heartwarming, efficient and fun at the same time...ALL of you are wonderful role models. Thank you so much, Tank, for letting us have a glimpse at these behind the scenes!
It was a Great Show😍 It was my first metal concert and I couldn‘t believe Nico took a bereal from my Phone and it still feels unreal. I‘m 16 now and this definitely wasn‘t my last metal and EC concert. Looking forward to seeing you again in Nuremberg! Much love
The Tank Tour Manager Walking Simulator is by far the best stuff I’ve seen. It’s a real joy watching you (and everyone else) work to deliver such a unique experience every time. Keep up the great work and stay awesome 🤘🏻
(for context, the area of Franconia is located in the state of Bavaria, but they do not consider themselves bavarians culturally. They can be very salty if someone dares to call them that and insist that they are franconians 😄)
Still in the first minutes but I really think they should make a special TEKKNO TANK T-shirt and sell it as official merch and split the profits with ya. In case they approve it, I wear size M, sofstyle shirts only 😂
Hey Tank, it was nice to meet you in Stuttgart, I was the guy with the wig. What a weekend. In Nürnberg I was in the first row, in the middle. Got a beer from Nico, startet shouting "Tank Tank Tank" with some people :D Thanks for the vlog!
Nicos comment about wanting Tank to be on this side of the stage for the rest of his life was so genuinely loving and heartfelt, i wanted to cry. #TankknoTour
That moment with Nico behind the stage mid wardrobe change brought a couple tears in my eye. Fucking hell man! I don't know how to explain how profound that moment felt to see. Thank you so much for making these vlogs
That's fab.. people recognising you out there. I like that a lot. A food parcel too.. I was instantly envious of the Soft cakes! Really been enjoying the vlogs man. Thank you!
Awesome as always! It is obvious why they want you to work for them, you are extremely good at what you do, that is easy to see. But man, continuity? I was stressing out about those 9 volt batteries, we never got to see them delivered 😳😂😂
As someone who occasionally works as a stagehand at my local arena, man it's so cool to see this type of content get posted online. Makes it a lot easier to explain to my extended family what it is I do for work 😂 Tank, your laugh is infectious and I love your content. Hope to meet you at the Maryland show; driving all the way up from Florida to see it ♥️🤘
Nico is a sweetheart 💘 they are all such nice chill people. I hope their success and love for what they do never ends! PRINZENROLLE!! the best cookie ever
I went from never hearing of Electric Callboy to showing the band to everyone I can. Thank you Tank for the exposure and the great entertainment. Hope to see you guys at the show at the Fillmore Maryland.
same, Presidents day weekend is when i decided to really check them out, and my wife now hates me cause i cant stop listening to them. I also got my boss into them as well. Im bummed their upcoming US tour is only on the East Coast.
Yesterday before work, I had We Got The Moves in my head and was just doing a little dance to the beat. Everyone was like, "...the hell are you doing?" So I played the song for them, and then they're like "ohhhhh."
Yup, I’d been watching his channel for a while last year and the “lifetime of memories” video made me finally check them out, they had posted WGTM live in Denver so I checked that out & was instantly hooked
I mean that would be a pretty huge descision to make for Tank and his family. I would suggest for Tank (and his family) to look up some videos of Americans that live/moved to Germany on RU-vid. A lot of them are really happy to live here. Yes, getting used to our culture and language might be hard first, but there are so many perks (especially for families) that you dont get in the USA. Public healthcare, free education, a loooooot less (gun) violence and other stuff. If that - I would call it "proposal" by Nico in the video was honest and not influenced by Jägermeister, I think Tank really needs to have a talk with his family.
Wouldn't be too confused if it actually happened - He is really working on the language, he has a very good job opportunity (not only for EC but with the rep he has built up he already has a foot in the industry in Europe as well), education and overall life for children in Europe is IMO much brighter. Call me polemic but I would not want my children to have active shooter drills in school... I love the US and really want to visit again to do everything I missed out on my first visit but am happy to live in Germany. After all it's his and his families' decision and it is a decision not to take lightheartedly. But he could be sure to be welcomed with open arms
I love hearing David drumming from behind the kit. That kit sounds thick as hell from that camera angle. Also, i know its been said a lot, but you can tell these guys see you as family and part of the band Tank. Youre a great Tour Manager and a great dude, and they clearly appreciate that a lot!
It’s so crazy that you started out reacting and breaking down videos and the band not only appreciated your knowledge they also offered you an opportunity of a lifetime. You deserve all of the love and respect.
I remember the first time I saw Electric Callboy. They were the support band for Five Finger Deathpunch. Today they are big stars themselves, but still so down to earth. So all the love to the guys and thanks Tank for another great VLOG.
when Nico was talking to you was so wholesome. You could really see that you have a spot in his Heart and he wants you to always be by his side ❤Feels like Nico want's to offer Tank a Roadie Position for Lifetime at EC :D
around 33:54 aaaawwwww man, this is so sweet :') holding back a tear here^^ tell Nico asking yourself the question if you deserve it is already the answer: Yes you do!! Thank you so much for these videos. It's interesting and fun to really see how all this works :)
YES Tanky Boy thanks for some more drum cam. Also holy shit hearing Nico saying he wants you there on side stage forever must of been a trip to hear back when you were editing.
As a musician myself, this one really got to me. The emotions between you and Nico, the feeling of a full concert hall havin the time of their lives... I've been there and it can't be replaced. It's the best thing in the world. I literally felt Al those emotions from years ago through you guys. Keep going. We have the best job in the world.
I‘ve known Electric Callboy for a long time, loved their music and always thought they are great guys. But seeing this well-oiled machinery being a huge family is really really nice to see. When I watched your first EC reaction back then I thought: Maybe he meets them one day. This is something else! I am so happy for ya! Please never stop making these videos, the behind the scenes of a tour a very interesting, but also wholesome AF. Thanks Tank ❤
33:07 was an amazing interaction between you and Nico and so validating what he said at the end. It's something people don't say that often in life. In a job where I'm running my own business and no one gives me that kind of thing it's kinda depressing at times not being validated. So this was great
My husband and I were at that concert! The guys really made in an unforgettable evening. What a show! To see it all again from this side of the stage is just amazing. Also, how incredibly sweet was Nico's little speech? Aaaw. I love that. (And that to the sound of a *drum solo* to *Sandstorm*.)
It's so nice to see that the band is so down to earth, so genuinely nice and appreciative and always thanking and validating their staff. So heartwarming. They look like really nice people!
I love waking up and drinking my morning coffee while watching a video of people thoroughly enjoying their job, all to make people happy. It puts me in a great frame of mind for the day ahead. Thank you.
These videos have made me appreciate the behind the scenes team(s) much much more. You guys go through a lot of shit that we the audience of the show never get to see until now. So massive thanks to Tank & the team(s) behind our favorites bands.
I can't get over the supportive community these guys all have on the road. I'm sure there are bad days and rough moments like in any family, but the attention to detail and the energy to give the fans the best show every night, and the blatant love and respect off-stage are wonderful to see. This is what music and performing should be; be the joy to spread the joy!
At this point you gotta stick with the boys man. You guys became such good friends. Bring your family over here and live the life man. This is your place 🙂
The amount of love between the band themselves and the crew is something that speaks volumes. These vlogs are amazing in that it shows that with the team working together and passionate about the production, a tour of this scale can be successful regardless of the hiccups. Incredible content man!
It looks like the backstage area (all the offices and stuff) was huge. Seems like there were way more signs than previous videos. You definitely get your steps in, eh?! 😉
I absolutely LOVE these vlogs, it's super interesting to see all the cogs that fall into place for a show to run smoothly! Please keep 'em coming! Also, the small chat with Nico behind the stage was so darn sweet! Both what he said to you, and about this being his job. All of this success could not have happened to a better bunch of guys, truly, both to you Tank and the band. Much love from Sweden!

And all those people yelling "Tank!": man, that's awesome, you are a star now! congrats!
"Don't Ever Drink out of a Mountain Dew Bottle if it has been opened escpecially around the Stage!" I was warned about that and Mellow Yellow by almost every band that I assisted in load-in/out.
My friends and i tried to get your attention at the Stuttgart show but sadly you didnt notice but it was great seeing you rush around the Stage maybe we will see ourselves in the next vlog. Much love!❤
If I'm on stage, I almost ALWAYS have my in-ears in, which cancel out most noise. So just know that I don't intentionally ignore anyone. Sometimes I just can't hear. Haha
I love how most of this tour feels like a big family trip. Everyone comes across so nice and chilled. Everyone know his part of the whole operation to make everything go smoothly. And although I'm not a big fan of their music I have a lot of respect for EC. For what they achieved and for how they seem to care for the people around them. You can see that they worked their asses off to get where they are now and they have never forgotten where they're coming from. It's great when good things happen to good people. And Tank going from reacting to EC to being their tour manager is a story all on its own. Once again, it's great when good things happen to good people.
It was actually really wholesome to hear everyone yelling Tank when you ran out on stage. Shows the impact you've had on this community and those connected in any way to Electric Callboy 🤙
I can remember your first reaction to Hypa Hypa years ago. You were a little p_ssed because you thought s.o. trolled you until IT started. And now, look how great everything has developed. Ja sicher!
Beside all the wonderful BTS looks, wholesome banter between you and the band, I do love the "multiple angles" shots you had put in these, and there's have been quite a few in this video which is awesome. I do also appreciate I can see you while you work like the bit in 39:40. gives me a more "open" perspective of you on your zone while working, but me looking as an "outsider"
Thank you for letting us ride along. It is entertaining and interesting to witness from a concert goer and EC Fan point of view. Also...I will never get tired of watching the Tekkno Train Intro from all possible viewpoints. It is the best intro ever and I have seen quite a few. Enjoy your off days. Was nice saying hello to you back in Hannover as well.
