Man, you've gotta hand it to these guys. This is NOT a glamorous rock star life...no frills, no luxury. These guys have been doing blue-collar touring for 30+ years and still putting 100% effort into every gig. My hat's off to Overkill.

[@aidandemaria4734]

keefriff99 they're a very good band! Extremely underrated

[@davidnissim589]

They also record a LOT... they put out an album every 1-2 years on average

[@123myballsitch]

kinda sad and pathetic tbh

[@AB-ou8ve]

@@123myballsitch And what have you with your pathetic life?

[@icepick859]

Whats blue collar touring?

[@FirstLast-ol9cs]

Still a bad ass dude considering the cancer and stroke. Don't stop Blitz...ever!

[@digitaltourbus]

Peter Ahladas He's definitely bad ass!

[@FirstLast-ol9cs]

My favorite since I was 16 and saw the video for "In Union We Stand". Love seeing he's a down to earth normal guy. Thanks for posting.

[@digitaltourbus]

Peter Ahladas No biggie at all. Thanks for watching! Btw, we have a couple more Overkill videos that will be posted this winter! :)

[@TheAvenger62]

Don't know if this was before bobby's nose cancer but you can see some tumor growth on his nose, luckly he caught it and had surgery before it metastasized to the rest of his body.

[@FreneticZetetic]

"I hit the OJ and the cold cuts." Bobby Blitz is my kinda guy!

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘🤘

[@scrollkeeper6636]

Bobby's always the coolest. How come he hasn't had a stand up comedy show is beyond me.

[@digitaltourbus]

:)

[@oscarmedina3803]

I've met Bobby, super awesome guy with a funny ass laugh and a good sense of humor lol, I remember I was so stunned to meet him out in the street and I was going for a hug and he stopped it because he said I looked like the crazy type that will grab his ass XD but then he did give me the hug lol, one of my music idols \m/

[@digitaltourbus]

+Oscar Medina It's always sweet meeting artists when you're not expecting it!

[@bethshair]

Lol

[@dr.jackal8868]

Bobby is such a cool guy

[@digitaltourbus]

Bill Pricks He's awesome!

[@MasaM-c2c]

Dr. Jackal agree and really crazy head, good way only!

[@guyinpajamapants6892]

Bobby was the nicest guy I've ever met! He and Verni actually offered to help carry our equipment into the club! And that was in 1991! They were awesome!

[@digitaltourbus]

Bobby is definitely a great guy!

[@bethshair]

Guyinpajamapants My band opened for them in the mid 90s at a tiny club in NY. After the show we were standing around outside near the tour bus and D.D. got off the bus to ask directions to the Interstate lol. Pre GPS days!

[@davidnissim589]

Fun fact: In 2002, Bobby had a seizure onstage in the middle of one of their songs, and still finished singing. That’s metal as fuck.

[@BegetterVIIEVEN]

Wow.

[@streetsshallprovide2029]

I interviewed him once around 2001- such a nice guy.

[@digitaltourbus]

Overkill is featured on the new episode of Bus Invaders!

This is a very cool band , my favorite bands are iron maiden and overkill

2:59 "The crapper"... After watching bunch of the bus tours, I have a feeling that is not the case....

[@TheJohnZani]

do cannibal corpse

[@digitaltourbus]

Been trying for years. We get turned down by their team every tour.

[@chroscielewski]

well, fuck them then ;-). How about Destruction or Annihilator ?

[@digitaltourbus]

chroscielewski We get turned down by 80-90% of the bands we ask, so we don't take it personally. Destruction was suppose to happen a year, or so, ago, but they unfortunately cancelled day-of. Annihilator, I've never tried to get them, but I'll try next time they're in the United States.

[@chroscielewski]

Digital Tour Bus Reading Your reply, I even more respect Your work and bands like Overkill. Caught doing coke on camera and laughing about it - that's what I love them for - honesty. As for Annihilator, I'm keeping Your fingers crossed. Great work, keep it up!

[@digitaltourbus]

chroscielewski Check back daily for 3 new videos! :)

[@axelytreberg5427]

God, i fucking love Bobby Blitz \M/

[@digitaltourbus]

He's awesome!

[@thrash1320]

wow I thought the road crew didn't ride in the same bus..saw that bus in Tampa sept 14 they had a killer show

[@digitaltourbus]

thrash1320 It all depends on the band. The bigger the band, the more likely they will have multiple buses. It's a case by case thing, but more often than not, the crew rides with the band these days.

[@jeremynelson5311]

thrash1320 I was there! I met Bobby outside

[@thrash1320]

I've seen Overkill 13 times met blitz 3 times,DD once,Dave Linsk chatted with me for 15 minutes last year at the Ritz Ybor City..all these guys are mega down to earth and cool/friendly people

[@jeremynelson5311]

[@stratdx]

Their music takes you by the throat. Just an onslaught of aggression. I love that their bass guitar cuts through the mix the way that it does. Sounds incredible

[@joshuanichols5468]

You know how fuckin staggered I was when he opened the door and screamed my fuckin name? It was pretty awesome. Felt like he was taking me on the tour personally

[@digitaltourbus]

That's what happens when you have the same name as me. Sometimes the band addresses me, even though I don't like when they do, haha.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Ole smoky moonshine cherries... City boys

[@noeltheshemale]

just wondering. what's that dark spot on the side of his nose? Too much coke?

[@digitaltourbus]

I believe he had nose cancer.

From Wikipedia: "In 1998, Ellsworth was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of nose cancer and underwent immediate surgery."

[@attilaezsias2464]
