Simone is a total tour mom! I love it!

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@rostilj401]

when you see her you just love her. I love her

[@digitaltourbus]

[@warumnichtvonbingen2221]

She is so beautiful and, yet, modest! A true example.

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@blacksheepinthebigshitty9544]

Modest? Sorry, but she made her colleagues "stinky" at some point... Now that's a modest attitude, right?

[@effusivefugitive]

+V Marius I think you need to learn to take a joke. Pretty much any woman would say the same. Hell, ask any of the 11 guys and they'd agree with her.

[@hmsdefiant]

That's a lot of farting in close quarters... I think she's earned the right to say that!

[@hansolo2121]

@@blacksheepinthebigshitty9544 You must be fun at parties. One girl spending weeks in a bus with 11 guys. And she is not allowed to make a joke about that? And you don't smell at all right? No jokes for you then... Pffft.

[@Jacobiel]

"This is an easy way for me to get the guys to eat their fruits and vegetables." I laughed so much at that part. Simone is the only girl in the tourbus group, so it's pretty clear she plays the role of 'mom'. "Eat your fruits and vegetables, boys!" =D

[@aperson9847]

"easy way for me to get the guys to eat their fruits and vegetables" lol simone is epica's mom.

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘🤘

[@juliolino3542]

She is soooo thoughtful and I love the Epica Bus, and I love metal lml

[@hughdenver2223]

Dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother lately =)

[@gatlinarturo1102]

@Hugh Denver yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@Silory12]

She is very motherly :)

[@digitaltourbus]

Anesthetize 17 She definitely is!

[@theamvgirlx]

Anesthetize 17 That is LEGIT what I thought the moment I saw her.

[@PandaMonium92827]

I think this was right after I saw them in MN. they actually took me onto the bus to get drunk after because I bought them a case of beer for the road. the couches were amazingly comfortable. I didn't get to hang out with Simone, she was already in bed by then. But the rest of the guys were amazing (even let me have some food)

[@digitaltourbus]

That's a sweet experience!

[@Mimoucchi1234]

You are so lucky omg

[@pauldm5222]

Simone's still gorgeous even if she's tired!

[@digitaltourbus]

+Paul DM :)

[@ghj1992ll]

Simone is always so sweet! Love listening to her talk about anything:]

[@cancelled_user]

Me too! 🙃

[@AmericanEagleThe2nd]

Simone is so down to earth, she was like that when I met her too, love Epica!

[@tsimons840]

2:14 simone: and I have a little squishy animal me: *dies*

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching.

[@Nightshift10000]

The sweetheart with hair of fire and the voice of an opera goddess. Simone Simons You Are Awesome.

[@VikramShankarMusic]

Watching her makes me happy.

[@valkylva]

I was invited onto their bus when I was 20 with my sibling after a show. The manager invited me to come along to the next show and ride on their bus. Mark made my sister a sandwich which was really nice. I didn’t end up traveling with them because I felt I was invading Simone’s space. But it was cool to see them just being normal people.

[@emiliabeleiu6887]

How is our wise woman of metal music

[@emiliabeleiu6887]

Gm

[@Warhammer40KGuy]

She prepares food for "the boys" so they can eat healthy stuff. She's like a mam very cute:)

[@lessthanunprofessional932]

she's so awesome and awkward it's really funny it makes me love her even more

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@digitaltourbus]

Thank you so much! Their are nearly 400 episodes of Bus Invaders and we release new ones every Tuesday and Thursday! :)

[@inamoski123]

I just fell in love even more.

[@marianasaez8882]

Gotta love Simone. ♥

[@jeffreycorcoran3021]

She just reminds me of a sparkling ruby, so amazing 😍😍

Definitely agree with you on this one!

[@digitaltourbus]

It's crazy how big tour buses are!

[@digitaltourbus]

Totally agree!

[@digitaltourbus]

So true!

[@Ryanlp100]

She's so sweet and caring.

[@digitaltourbus]

😀

[@tibetbukan8360]

Wish I was a member of Epica

[@digitaltourbus]

That'd be sweet!

[@nathaliaellen6917]

is every Epica's fan dream to be a member of the band or sing, play with them one day at the stage :)

[@digitaltourbus]

Definitely! :)

[@digitaltourbus]

She definitely is!!

[@w.b.t.127]

Such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Love Simone mind.

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching.

[@metabolicshaun]

I walked past their tour bus before I saw them in Glasgow.One of the curtains was open.I wasn't spying,but I had a sneaky wee glance as I walked past & there were several bottles of wine & jagermeister on the window side table.Not quite as insightful as digitaltourbus's video.Mark was inside at the time.I never saw him in there,but I saw him walk out of the bus just before us vip's were let into the venue. Simone is such a sweetheart, I saw on her instagram that she makes omelettes for the guys.

[@digitaltourbus]

It was taken in November during their North American headline tour!

[@digitaltourbus]

You definitely do!

[@digitaltourbus]

She is definitely very lovely!

[@digitaltourbus]

We do too!!

[@digitaltourbus]

Definitely! :D

[@digitaltourbus]

I'm so glad you liked the video!!

[@digitaltourbus]

Yup! :)

[@Elvenboadicea]

When Simone shows us where she sleeps, I felt the blood drain from my head. I wouldnt be able to sleep in such a tiny space with two other people above me..what if it collapsed... yikes. Cool bus though! Simone is the best ❤

[@digitaltourbus]

Exactly!

[@user-gl5ok5pc7k]

I LOVE SIMONE, SHE'S SO COOL AND GORGEOUS

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@julias321]

Thank you for your response!

[@digitaltourbus]

She definitely is!

[@digitaltourbus]

It was filmed in November while they're on their North American tour!

[@TheIndignation]

I was at that show! It was great. Tea and bagels sounds like a good way to go. If I went on tour, I wouldn't mind having Simone make me eat vegetables =P

[@digitaltourbus]

Yay! :)

[@digitaltourbus]

Yeah, Simone is awesome! She definitely seems to take care of the guys. I'm guessing since this video was filmed a few hours before doors opened at the show, things were a bit more relaxed on the bus then they are later on, you know?

[@digitaltourbus]

Us too!

[@ismaeloliveiraoficial2450]

🎼❤🎤😍🎸🎶🚍espectacular, fantástico e um verdadeiro sonho viajar e assistir para as tuor ❤

[@digitaltourbus]

I agree with you on that one!

[@ClaytonDerby]

Seems like fun! I want to experience that life too :)

[@TheValito21]

oh that makes much more sense, thanks!

[@digitaltourbus]

She most definitely is! :)

[@icerlemon97]

I LOVE EPICA. Simone foreverr

[@digitaltourbus]

Yay! ;)

[@digitaltourbus]

These tour buses are pretty luxurious! Definitely better than my house!

[@andrewwhittaker7016]

Simone is absolutely gorgeous and sweet

[@digitaltourbus]

Couldn't agree with you more!

[@digitaltourbus]

She definitely is! :)

[@sarahfehr12]

Smoon is so lovely :3 I love her

[@digitaltourbus]

That would be sweet!

[@joaquinrc1995]

ella es la mujer de mis sueños

[@bsharpnack]

Simone seems tired... Poor girl. She needs a break. I love that lady.

[@digitaltourbus]

+doctorbear Not sure what their scheduled was like that day, but it's definitely a possibility. :(

That's awesome! We do a lot of our videos at Mojoes!

[@ghplayer1992]

boy she is beautiful even in real life that's what I call natural beauty is she married

[@digitaltourbus]

Not sure if she's married or not. You can try doing some Googling to find out though.

[@smokerain8992]

yes she is married

[@ghplayer1992]

smoke rain nooooooooooo

[@edeneverly2573]

Of course she is married. She is married to Oliver Palotai, the father of her son and they live together in Germany.

[@ghplayer1992]

Eden Everly why is she married

[@digitaltourbus]

It's no problem at all! :)

[@aegyojewels]

She really is a lovely lady - very kind, caring and intelligent. :)

[@SunHoneyLily]

omg simone you are lovely!

[@digitaltourbus]

That's definitely a possibility the next time they are in North America! :)

[@TROLLSPAM666]

Simone is Great :D

It's possible! :)

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching.

[@smokerain8992]

do a nightwish bus tour!!

[@digitaltourbus]

We've been trying. Unfortunately, it's not up to us, it's 100% up to them.

[@marcofrassini9172]

@@digitaltourbus you couldn't make a Nightwish episode because they are too big? I'm just asking but I think that could be a possibility. I mean, I see a lot of big names in these bus invaders videos but not names "that" big like nightwish (and of course neither names even bigger than nightwish, like Korn or Slipknot) Anyway I love this format , I love the bus invaders videos

[@digitaltourbus]

@@marcofrassini9172 Not for that reason. It's all about the band's preference on whether they want to or not. We've filmed with plenty of "big" bands over the years.

[@marcofrassini9172]

@@digitaltourbus Ok, got you

That is the most organized tour bus I have seen.

Touring definitely isn't an easy job!

[@digitaltourbus]

What exact time in the video are you referring to? If you let me know, I'll check! :)

[@digitaltourbus]

There is definitely a resemblance.

[@julias321]

I mean... When Epica will be in the tour again whether will be chance to make another video with them? ;) Sorry for my English.
