It would be cool to see him take the top spot but even if he doesn't he definitely deserves all the leftover hors d'oeuvres

Also... Did you guys know that I work for Electric Callboy?

Is that a new brand of vibrators? 🤔😉

no joke but christain would probly win with his vlogs

[@Menoetius.]

I didn't even know who a lot of those content creators were either. But my vote, no hesitation, went to Tank the Tech who works for Electric Callboy 🏆

[@damage_inc86425]

Voted for you Tank! You're definitely my favorite and most viewed metal content creator 🤘

[@Andy_from_de]

Seriously, you have to show Nik some Hans Platz. He belongs on the list and you know it. 🙂

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Win or Lose your show is super bad-ass and your hosting vibe is way pro! AWWWRIGHT!!

[@SheldonMLee]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Nic is going to love this video. As well as every other nominee. (To Tank you nailed you being on this 3 years in a row shows staying power and is far more important than with all due respect to Nic some bullshit award as awesome as it is)

[@Beliskner999psn]

I can't believe you work for Energized Mallcop. They're my favorite band :D

[@CWright72167]

[@imetalhead]

TankTheTech heel turn.

[@burningbassist]

I found your channel about a month ago when you covered Falling in Reverse's show cancellations on their European tour and really loved how you were the only person doing a deep dive into why the shows were cancelled based on your knowledge from touring. You do some really great work on here and I immediately knew I was voting for you this year.

[@jonki1980]

I think, I think Tank tours with Electric Callboy? 😂😂 In all seriousness whatever happens, you are awesome Tank. Don't forget that. Keep laughing and humour going!!

[@Stewie801]

I voted for Frosty via a write in vote

[@terryosborne272]

People forget Ola Englund who is one of the OG's of music for KZbin. Why is he not on the list.

[@lidkaocka3389]

I voted for you, but only because I didn't noticed drumeo... No but for serious, you deserve it Tank! Had a lot of fun this year on your channel

[@bazamere]

I think you could have mentioned EC a couple more times 😂

[@Pyrobaby07]

Salty Tank is my new favourite thing 🤣🤣🤣 I'm almost tempted to vote for someone else just so we can have more of this Villain Arc Tank

[@Saimeren]

Even if you lose every time, there's pride in knowing that you're not only still in the game, but still relevant enough that people want you on the short list. I think that speaks volumes about you and your content.

[@ajmarliere]

Can you set a garage door to open to "blegh!"? Did you?

[@ASXL41]

And for the 3rd year in a row I voted for you. We'll see what happens Friday. At least you work for Electric Callboy, right? Did I hear that correctly?

[@MetalRock92]

Wooooooow, you work for Electric Callboy?! That's so sick, I totally NEVER heard about that! 3 times 2nd place, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO! Of course I voted for you the 3rd time in a row.

[@Sabretoothsquirrel]

It's adorable to see Tank trying to be mean! Like a huggable teddy bear trying to look intimidating! Also, love how he couldn't even fake shit on Opal In Sky. It's physically impossible! Those dudes are too nice and wholesome!

[@ntolman]

Tank heel turn. Let's fucking gooooo!

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

I consume a lot of music content. Probably way more than the average person. To be honest, I don’t know who OBKATIEKAT is either and I’m a day 1 Destiny player and have been involved with Metal since the 80’s. Never heard of Josh Rezz, Neo or Opal… and yeah, I can’t scroll two post without getting a Bernth ad on fb. And to be fair, the Sleep Token Drumeo full session was a 🔥 clinic.

[@notreally-sf3df]

You scroll facebook, i don't think vtubers and zoomer content creators are for you.

[@mascha28swinkels]

😂😂😂 Just as funny the second time around, your giggles while trying to roast the nominees puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the rest of the trip, Tokyo looked like a good time and i’m sure Oz will be a good time also 🤘🏼

[@Zinetha]

For the 3rd year in a row, I voted for you. Tbh, Nik is the best, but you're the 2nd best. No other singular metalhead comes even close to the quality of content you guys put out. Out of the nominees, I've heard of you, Obkatiekat and Opal In Sky. Didn't know Obkatiekat did any metal-related content. Opal in Sky is a funny duo, but their music is basic AF.

[@t.mccullough2573]

The WINNER for the Silliest, most Metal content on a channel...TANK THE TECH!

[@philh.1525]

in the log run consistency is king...

[@ThatGuy_1983]

Oh snap dude! You're coming down for the "Good Things" gigs with the fellas! That's pretty damned sweet, and this may not mean much from an absolute stranger (you may recognise my surname from within the metal media history books?) but more importantly, if you'd be up for it & somehow find a few mins anytime during the Melbourne gig I'd love to buy you a beverage of your choice as a small token of my appreciation for all of your work you've shared with us throughout the last few years. Well aware the chances are slim to 'F' all given your duties & this also the obstacle of myself not being on crew at all for the 1st time in decades, but it's always worth offering should the opportunity present itself. Either way, Cheers! Hope your travels to here are smooth & safe.

[@WhisperingWinds0]

8:12 I know you're joking... but THANK YOU. I do not get the hype around him. He just plays fast, and the same shit everytime. Everyone with practice can do that. And yes, Im not a drummer, *I* can't do that.

[@lambofmetallica]

I think the big thing is how transparent and outspoken he is. (I'm sure he's annoyed with how often he's had to prove his speed, and likely has had to lean into it a bit.) But to just come out and sternly tell his own followers to "practice more instead of finding shortcuts" without sugarcoating it, is SUPER refreshing to hear. That's just me though. Came for the drumming, stayed for the commentary

[@9862905]

Naaah This year, I feel Tank takes the win ! Dude's been here with awesome content covering not only the music but also more in depth stuff in the industry. having discussions in a more informative way instead of going full gossip/drama. To me this was awesome content and learned different things about the music industry.

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

No way, you’re the guy who works with Electric Callboy, I heard you guys must be doing Good Things this week. On the real though, can’t wait to see Electric Callboy in Brisbane this Sunday

I hope i win one of those guitars, i had to sell everything except my Ibanez gio (pickups are fucked) and a boss katana mk2 amp, which...again, can't use it bc my pickups just SQUEAL! i wonder if i can wax dip them?
