The way Kevin turned around at the end there....he knew he was doing fun metal things!

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

The moment he turned around, I was euphoric.

[@m.a.6478]

Yeah, that move was awesome!

[@godwrote01]

He delivered as always ! I cry

[@ZIMBO37333]

I love how Kevin talks about Hurricane (~ 09:40) and how it's played at grandparents' birthday parties etc.. Because just a few days ago I saw Electric Callboy live at a festival and they played Hurrikan live. They asked people to form a big pit. But not to mosh, but for the people to use it as a dancing ground and to do some couple dance. And then I saw a couple (~40 years old) dancing happily in the pit. The woman didn't seem to know Electric Callboy very well, but she was having great fun until her boyfriend/husband pushed her out of the pit just a few seconds before the breakdown was about to hit. She was confused because she didn't know why he was pushing her out of the pit. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but his body language clearly said, "Run honey, you're not prepared for what's about to happen." I laughed my ass off when I saw that.

[@jonnyj00rgen]

Rock im Park was a place, where they tried that

[@plusminusducky5488]

So if you are talking about Rock am RIng and you were situated in the pit very far to the front at the right, I am shocked and appaled you think my wife and I are about 40, because that is EXACTLY the interaction my wife and I had

Ratatatajczak is such a sweetheart

[@extrablue1]

Something about metal singers sounding absolutely demonic onstage, being total sweet pies offstage

[@CaughtSomewhereInYouTube]

I’m a 15 year old metalhead and I’ve been a metalhead since I was a little kid. My dad introduced me to bands like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and that kind of metal. I’ve always been a big fan of classic rock and metal, but I’m glad that I discovered Electric Callboy one year ago. They are just awesome! I hope more people of my generation will explore Electric Callboy! I’m sure a lot of my friends will like it!

[@fdox]

i love how you look at kevin´s eyes and you just know he´s an amazing grounded human being

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

Sounds like we need a Heavysaurus X Electric Callboy collab.

[@derOli1981]

I'd love that ;-)

[@swisslover]

I am a 60 year old man, who hated metal his entire life, until I saw this gateway group. Never thought I could listen to metal and smile, but I can.

[@philippmeier3363]

Honestly, I listened to a lot of Metal and still didn't think I could smile. But EC... Man, they are truly special

[@talaniel]

Yeah, I think every genre probably has some, as you say, "gateway". So I stopped "hating" genres :-)

Sorry for wasting all those decades not listening to the best Genre of music

[@janetrasmason6549]

I am 73 and in a wheelchair. My son intro'd me to EC in March and my Mothers Day gift was seeing them May 13th in New York City. For a few hours I forgot about my limitations and just smiled, laughed and chair danced! 🤣

Can confirm that my 6 year old son absolutely LOVES electric callboy

[@Schubrakete86]

So does my 4 year old Instead of bedtime stories she wants to listen to Electric Callboy 😀

[@aug73]

I saw EC for the first time in Boston last month. Last summer, I didn't know who EC was. Now I'm a huge fan. Their concert was amazing. High energy and nonstop fun. You can't leave an EC show without a big smile on your face. The Boston crowd was great too. The most impressive thing was Nico and Kevin meeting fans, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans after the show. How often does a headliner do that? One of my favorite concerts of all time, topped only by Rammstein. When EC comes back, I will be sure to see them again. What a great group of talented musicians, who love what they do and are grateful to their fans. They make metal fun!

[@navezdidier]

Electric Callboy is like Healthy Fun Medication

[@Acroanidd]

Both my kids absolutely love EC, they are 8 and 11. I can hear my 8 year old daughter yelling out Ratatata from time to time just randomly, it's awesome!

[@gabiruman]

can't wait to see Kevin and the guys at Resurrection Fest in the end of the month, probably my last concert before I become a father, will educate my daughter with Electric Callboy for sure.

[@davidriddick82]

The bird is the word…. 😂😂😂 Kevin, I wanted you to know that since I discovered Electric Callboy about 4 months ago, it has changed my life. My 3 daughters and I and my wife dance to your music every single day. It’s so energetic and amazing and I can’t wait to see you guys in the US soon, and I am from Florida 🤘🏻 Much love to you and Nico and all the guys, thank you thank you 🙏🏻 DANKE!!

[@pedromoitinho5959]

I'm Hypa Hypa to watch electric callboy for the first time in Lisbon, 30 of june. Last thursday i told my wife that I recently became a big fan of the band, and that same day she came home with 2 tickets for the evil live festival 😊

[@m.a.6478]

I could listen to you two talking for hours! Thanks for the great interview!

[@dennisw.6939]

Fun Fact: My six year old son loves Electric Callboy a lot. Especially the harsh vocals of Kevin.

[@marcusdedorsson8741]

Just expierinced a show with them a week ago on Sweden Rock Festival. So much fun! My wife usually only like the pop-parts in the songs but suddenly when they played live she could appriciate the harsh vocal too. Great show! 😊

[@viqero]

Electric Callboy are one of the first bands i have seen live and the show was just amazing

[@mondschwarz8078]

I cannot put into words how happy the 2024 metal scene makes me. Nik, I hope you know you are a huge and positive influence. And it is amazing to see Electric Callboy transcend Germany and become a big name in the international metal scene. You are the recognition German metal needs.

[@Chibinixy]

That "Bird is the word" ref killed me!! Kevin is a man of culture!! Also I was as lost as him for the "Throw block" thing.

[@TimeLemur6]

I had no idea what you were talking about when I read your comment, and then I got to that part and still had no idea what was going on. Do the kids actually say that? 😆

Interview with Kevin Ratatatajczak

[@countmarius75]

My 8-year old loves Spaceman and Ratatata!

[@feedthemonkey83]

Fun Story how I came to Electric Callboy. I knew them before but I was not really open to that. I hear a lot of Progresssive Metal and Rock so my taste usually is really technical oriented. And then I played Ragnarök on Oculus VR. And they have Hyper Hyper as a song there. And I played to all the songs of the game and finally landed on Electric Callboys song. And this stuff made so much fun to listen and play and so my mind opened to that. So "Kevin" ... We need more of your songs in these games. Thats what I wanted to say !!!!!

[@BlackHermit]

Strong interview Kevin.

If we had a time machine I would say Electric Callboy and the original Wiggles line up. So I could see them collabbing with whoever takes up that space now where kids songs cross with rock/metal. This comment shows my age because I remember the Wiggles as their original band The Cockroaches back in the 80s.

[@GottHoldNicetomeet]

32:30 If bands dont interact or talk with the crowd, what is the point of a concert? Like i was once a system of a down concert. They played nice, but they just played their list down and did other than that near to nothing and as such i was so massively disappointed. Like directly before TenaciousD was playing and that was such a day and night difference. Like i would go anytime to a TenaciousD concert while System of a Down is something i like to listen on a good audio but i dont think concerts are worth it. If artists are not talking to the crows or make the evening somethning special, whats the point of it.

[@TheSalPic]

6:29 for me and the 6.5 year old kiddo it's more punk rock and the COVERS are the gateway. Rock (punk, metal, whatever) covers of Disney and tay Tay (I got yours on a playlist) help. "Daddy play rock Disney"

I saw Electric Callboy and Babymetal at Rock im Park last week. They played Ratatata at both gigs. The guys and girls just delivered completely.

[@russoprimera]

I saw BabyMetal last night. The videofootage used during Ratatata was from FoxFest and the choreography from the girls was so tight and running so synchronized with the video that it really seemed the boys were there somehow. It was cool as fuck.

My two kids (3 and 1,5 years old) love Electric Callboy and Heavy Saurus and now BABYMETAL as well. Ratatata is basically playing non stop right now

[@johnmclaughlin9674]

This guy seems so inspiring with his good energy

[@ralfklonowski3740]

Kevin mentioned Brazil and touring. "Please come to Brazil" and "Greetings from Lima" are also very common in Babymetal comment sections. If they'd do a double headliner tour through South America together, folks down there would go bonkers.

[@peterlane6895]

Not just South America... it should be a worldwide tour. The energy of both bands together would be such a fantastic and unique experience. Too many times Babymetal bring bands with them that take music SOOO seriously that it would be refreshing to have someone with them that would enhance the fun side.

[@ralfklonowski3740]

@@peterlane6895 While I agree with you, planning and playing a world tour is time consuming stuff. South America would be efficient as up to now the fans there had no opportunity to see either band live, and you'll probably get away with a quick nine-city-dash, let's say Mexico City, Lima, Rio de Janiero, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Santiago de Chile and Havana. No, not Caracas, if anything I heard about crime and violence there is somwhere near the truth While the distances involved would make for challenging logistics, the limited amount ogf shows wouldn't tie up both bands for too long. And again, the fans there are starved, while Europe, the US and Asia/Australia have been toured by BM multiple times.

[@stryfer1989]

I maintain that Electric Callboy is one of the best things to have happened to music in the 21st century. Not just for metal, but showing all genres that music doesn't care about which category it fits into. It lets us do whatever we want with it and whatever makes us feel happy.

[@TheSalPic]

I think the genre is "fun". It's just so fun!!!

[@Debrutsideno]

If Electric Callboy covered a kids song, it should be Baby Shark.

[@AndLOLGG]

I have three kids and they think Electric Callboy is fun music. They don't understand the lyrics yet, phew! 😆 My youngest is 3½ years old, she's like bursting into the kitchen while I'm making dinner to Ratatata, makes horns, and trips over the grocery bags on the floor.. gets up laughing and dances wildly. My oldest daughter is 10 years old and we're going to see Hanabie live July 3rd, and she's so excited. The Japanese bands Hanabie, Baby Metal, and Band-Maid are slowly getting her to like listening to hard rock and metal, and I love that is what she chooses to listen to rather than 1 minute (max) meme-songs..... That's what here classmates listen to apparently... But she listens to full length metal songs. I must admit that I'm a bit proud. 😁 Oh, metal, and Taylor Swift.

I want to see Electric Callboy live so bad, has to be such an experience. I haven't been to a concert in forever, last time was Linkin Park in 2014, and I have to say I was shocked how much of a happy/party vibe that was. It was pure energy from the band and the crowd until midnight. I can't even imagine how wiped out I would be from going to Electric Callboy, lol.

[@mentaldebris]

Back in 1979 I was a deejay at a high school radio rock station. Playing Zepplin, AC/DC, Styx, Rush, Pink Floyd, the Cars, Bad Company, The Police, etc. One night a week, I was spinning discs at a dying disco. It was great. Teenaged girl in the booth, paid under the table and getting drinks as tips for playing songs for the polyester club crawlers (Travoltas). I was spinning Donna Summer, The Village People, Sister Sledge, Chic. Disco was just starting to get long in the tooth and you could feel it winding down - 1981 was really the end. Anyway, it was rather odd playing rock for the high school crowd two nights a week and dance music for adults one night a week. My heart and gut was with the rock, but my feet were with the dance. So, about a month ago, my spouse (another deejay at the radio station and the disco-married over 40 years) came across this incredible band called Electric Callboy. OMFG, where have you guys been all of my life? Just love, love love, this band. A perfect mesh of the genres that thrill and move me. Back in my disco spinning days there was this song from a French dude named, Patrick Hernandez. "Born To Be Alive" Not one of my favorites, but so many people loved it. Constantly requested. 202 million views, according to the official video on KZbin. That song is just begging to be ECBeed. Live cover maybe? There was
