ROADIE REACTIONS | Electric Callboy - "Elevator Operator"

[@ASXL41]

Like how did he get this reaction up so fast? Does he like work for them or something?!?

[@EbizzerHH]

Nobody knows ^^

[@Jalabhar_Xho]

Weird right? It feels almost like he has direct access to the band

[@EbizzerHH]

@@Jalabhar_Xho Crazy... but that is impossible for an american roadie / reactor, right? ^^

[@ASXL41]

@@Jalabhar_Xho Just one of life's great mysteries I guess

[@elenuvien]

i know it's a joke but reactors get videos in advance, expect reactions popping up fast haha

[@Mr-MRVN]

Tank providing us the behind the scenes information we're here for. Best reaction as always

[@sw_elian]

Electric Callboy is the best band actually and I'm not kidding. We need fun songs and they are here for that, and that's why we love them!

[@andyk4784]

I liked your comment but I have to disagree. This is not genius it’s not groundbreaking, I may be hating but this is all slop than can be thrown together. I don’t want it in the Metal category of music.

[@neutraltoxic]

Lol everything I disapprove of doesn't deserve to exist, what a jackals. Don't listen dude art deserves to exist even if it doesn't please you and also genres are just marketing devices stop being a gatekeeping dumbass no one cares about your shitty opinions

[@neutraltoxic]

Also ALL music is some slop that's thrown together Jesus what an idiot

[@perlundgren7797]

@@andyk4784 I think they're pretty atrocious, but what's the problem with there being metal to cater to different tastes?

[@verts_tv]

Agreed, they haven't missed. I don't think there is a song I've though this is shit, skipped.

[@vagabondtv3246]

What a wild string of 2 sentences at 10:35 “Oh it’s a prequel to Spaceman… where’d the baby come from?!” LMAO

[@Naunet7]

The mermaid in the elevator is Carina Pusch, a makeup and costume artist known for a variety of other projects. She also appeared in the "We Got the Moves" video.

[@Kullioking]

And in "Spaceman"

[@TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie]

I absolutely love her ❤

[@TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie]

​@@Kullioking Actually, in the Spaceman video... the green skinned alien lady who is similar to Oola, the Twi'lek from Star Wars .. that is actually a German cosplayer named Mia (tingilya.cosplay) Carina Pusch and Kami Zero just helped with make up. She also stars in Samurai Pizza Cats videos 'Outcast' and it's follow up story "Wolf in Me" 🐺

[@wolframvonstein7303]

I FUCKING KNEW IT!

[@Kullioking]

@@TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie I mean the pink/purple 3 titty alien in the hologram.

[@ClaudiaErnst]

Tank, I'm guessing you'll now inform every venue and hotel with an elevator about the special expectations of the boys.😁

[@MissFroglover]

😆😆

[@claudiakonig7771]

🤣🤣🤣

[@LemonApple21]

The Baby in the end is wearing Ratatata-clothes.😂

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

so it is a subtle nod to a wet dream I had ?

RATATATA-baby, metal-baby... BABYMETAL, maybe? 🤔😏

[@KarenKrugerViljoen-m6p]

Good catch 🤣🤣🤣

[@R0dst3r]

That baby was also seen in RATATATA BTS around the 19 minute mark

@@R0dst3r Well spotted. I forgot I saw it in the BTS video... it's been a few months, time flies.

[@SelkeaRambles]

JA SICHER!!! "The Schlager Stranglers" had me laughing my ass off. Good one there. Looking forward to the show in Antwerp this autumn!! The Electric Callboy set at Graspop last June was a blast!

[@MissFroglover]

Kevins cross-eyes is hilarious!! 😂 Great reaction Tank and thanx for the backround story 👍 Have a great weekend ☺

[@MoonTiger88]

I really enjoyed the little "tank facts" about the birth of the song and the stories around it, lovely reaction as always :)

[@nilswalravens]

In my head I saw Nico and Kevin standing in an elevator somewhere on tour, starting to hum along to the elevator music and slowly turning towards each other coming up with this song idea at the same time. Close enough 😂

[@mlilac]

We now need an interview with the elevator guy. Just how much of cool vibes one needs to emanate to get people to WRITE A SONG about him. And it's not like he hung out with the band or anything. Dude managed to make an impression during an elevator ride, which is mind blowing in it's own right

[@Mmrymoss]

Moss here, they are tubular dudes, if they want the interview they will have it.

[@chelseab7636]

The context for the story behind this video just made it soooooo much better to me 😂

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

"The Schlager Stranglers" omfg that's hilarious and I cannot unsee that now 😂

[@CerebralRage66]

The story about their admiration for the operator makes so much more sense now.

[@nobbi84]

Aufzug Betreiber😂 sehr gut ausgesprochen 👏🏼🤝🏻

[@claudiakonig7771]

I agree, as a professional teacher of German. 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😎

[@bigjthejoker1306]

Awesome reaction Tank. Loved the backstory for this amazing song!! Safe travels for EF

[@CaptainBlueSam]

"Where'd the baby come from?" Well, you see Tank, when an Elevator Operator and an Elevator come together in perfect harmony, they create life!

[@lovehatetragedy823]

Thank you Tank, for the context ! When I watched this video earlier, I was really wondering what is the back story 😂? The song is fire 🔥!

[@abbysaabye832]

Dude!!! They look like Dads who came home to a house party and just embarrassed the living $h!t out of the kids😅🎉😂❤

[@alicetwain]

1. Kevin and Nico look like extra from an episode of Derrick, which my grandmother imposed on me when I was a child (first German TV series to be shown in Italy, at least as far as I know). 2. There is a children story in the book "Favole al telefono" ("Telephone Tales" or "Das fabelhafte Telefon") by Gianni Rodari about an elevator able to transport people into space (Ascensore per le stelle, Elevator to the stars). By the way, a great book (and the first real book I read on my own at 6).

[@Llortnerof]

It was normal low-low middle class clothing in Germany during that time for the stereotypical dull wage-slave type of person whose greatest aspiration is Currywurst mit Pommes.

[@TheMatze321]

The elevator operator guy (uke bosse) is a professor for game design in germany 😂

[@SomeoneNone123]

He also acted on two episodes of "Tatort"! A german actor must have! 😆

[@j.w.u.5728]

He went to school with me. 😂

[@regor5150]

Maybe it's just because I'm a guitarist, but the tone on this is SUPER THICK!! Very much so over the Tekkno sound, and I LOVE IT! Punches your ears 🤘🏻

[@krissyv2046]

This is amazing thing with EC, the track is so heavy (so heavy) that it needs a goody video to make to feel lighter . Just like when kids get their medicine in sugary drinks or with honey (the German way)😂

[@derpherbert3199]

The tears of laughter in your eyes are wonderful

[@zatransis]

25 years ago, I saw Reel Big Fish at Chicago HOB. My GF was sick and couldn’t go so I wanted to see if I could get a shirt signed for her. I asked a security guard after the show if the band was going to be doing anything like that. He said no, but told me how I could walk around and under the venue to get to where the tour buses park. I went down there and hung out for a while and eventually band members started showing up. They ended up all signing the shirt and taking me to the bar. We hung out for a few hours and then I had to bounce. Great night. Also, EC is amazing. Love the new track. Can’t wait for the next record.

[@nightkil13r]

I got kicked out(Story for another time but it was BS. Crowdsurfing) of a show i had gone to, was hanging out outside just relaxing and smoking, waiting the 45 minutes for the show to finish and my friends that i rode with. By the tour busses. the drummer for trivium comes out and talks to me for a min, then goes back on the bus. I asked for an autograph cause why not im already out there. IIRC it was travis at the time that was the drummer, he said no. about a minute after he goes back on the bus, Matt, Corey and Paulo all come out and sign my ticket and gave me guitar picks and such. Got to hang out with those three for the rest of the show. Trivium are some good guys.

[@davidriddick82]

This was PERFECTION!! Kevin really sounds amazing with those screams, and once again Nico just showing his incredible higher ranges. The music itself it’s a perfect blend of metal techno, and it’s so heavy and I agree with you this will be HUGE live 100% 🔥 Thank you EC, another amazing addicting song to listen to over and over again

[@chris5632]

Thanks for the behind the scenes story about the song. It's awesome.

[@RealJustinCrow]

Hey Tank, Hope you're well! Going through a 100mph storm here in Scotland atm so thanks for this reaction to distract! Appreciated the Tanks Facts, so here's a "Crow Fact" for you. The 2nd half of the nightclub section (Post Elevator Mermaid), the beat matches a popular football (Soccer) chant/action. "The Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap!"(2-3-4-2). If your team has a 2 syllable name, the last 2 claps become that team name, eg Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap, Ro-Vers! It will probably become a thing, when this starts appearing at shows, for crowds to do "Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap, Call-Boy!" Calling it now!

[@BrunoPintao]

Nice to see the last date is in Portugal! Thanks for coming to our little country!!! 🤘

[@KikiSohma]

Great reaction as always. Thanks for the added info and lore 😊

[@RichardGriffis]

David-Karl Friedrich's drum tone is fucking amazing

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

Seeing the tears of laughter running down your face is the best :)

[@Eckythump]

You said you might be biased. I'm not and I'll echo your statement. Electric Callboy is one of the best live acts you can see. The energy is unparallelled. I can't wait to see them again.

[@1991jwp]

I immediately liked the song, but then coming here and hearing that it's based on a real person/events and not just something they pulled out their arse makes it so much better. Great to have new stuff from EC and it doesn't disappoint. Bring on the new album and the Europe tour!!

[@Gobbears]

Carina Pusch was awesome as Mermaid with Uke and the Krombacher Beer Ad

[@Kullioking]

Is there a video where she is not in??

[@TheAzdio]

Well she is kinda popular. Lets see who will shit talk her awesome funny appearance in this video

[@Indyofthedead]

i love how unnecessarily stupid hard this song goes off the bat

[@ImGoingSpace]

The backstory makes the song and video so so much better. Caught EC live last tour in the UK and will be at ally pally if i can wangle it, having a 3 month old baby at the time!

[@Foricelli]

Make it work and I'll see you there 🎉

[@Isdezenaambezet]

Sucks that that's middle of the week. Saw While She Sleeps there before and going to spiritbox next month, great venue.

[@Drogwin]

Aaahhhh, TBS everywhere, even in the starting background😂 Collaboration EC&TBS could be very very funny

[@arrowcorrigan]

I might be blind, but other than the baby what are the references? I just got into TBS this year so I’m probably missing something and would love to hear what others are thinking, but you’re the only one I’ve seen mention more than the baby so you’re my one shot at finding the other references. Thanks in advance if you respond!

[@DasWunschkind1]

@@arrowcorriganbackground music at the start of this video is Der Nudelsong

[@arrowcorrigan]

Also just realized the baby might not be a TBS reference and instead a Babymetal reference since it’s wearing the Ratatata costume

[@arrowcorrigan]

@@DasWunschkind1thanks for pointing that out!

[@ralfsstuff]

I can't believe they got Uke to be the Elevator Operator. This brings back some old memories of secretly watching Game One in the middle of the night.

[@Obst-und-Gemuese]

Hey Tank, thanks for your reaction and explanations. That's what made the song so much more meaningful.

[@Megitsune69]

Great reaction as always! The song was so fun!

[@EbizzerHH]

JA SICHER! Let's go!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤪🤪🤪

[@drewloc]

Such good dynamics in this song, I love EC's unique taste in their heavy music. Nothing like them, it's just fun and a blast. Made my day!

[@iansterling9589]

My first thought at the beginning of the videos was that they were totally going for a "The Lonely Island" vibe. Love the vid!

[@RolandDrehtRaeder]

Haha, with the backstory this is now next level hillarious. Thanks for sharing it :D

[@TheBitterSpinach]

Man, next time I'm at a show at HOB in Chicago, I will remember this song

[@TheNetsrac]

You've always been very straight forward with working with them. so it's all good 😀 Unrelated to that, I love their mix of EDM and heavy metal while just having fun ,hits all the right spots for me 😂 I'm almost 50 years old, but this one of my favorite bands Long time old school metal and trance fan

[@kajsa78kajsa]

I love how you get emotional listening to great, powerful music. That happens to me too, all the time. I loved this song and the music video! Thanks for the reaction and all the behind the scenes info on it.

The back story made this reaction even better!!!!! Thanks Tank!

[@MissFroglover]

I'm so looking forward to see your reaction on this one 😃 I know I'll love it 💜 We watched it at the same time and I was totaly blown away 🤣 It will be a blast to see all of their new stuff 🤘

[@Bohablordnyktosstrigoi]

Love the new song & perfect reaction. Thank you for the info about the house of Blues in Chicago. I've been to that venue & i never knew that for the bands to go thru playing there.

[@Guitars77OA6]

HE SAID THE THING!!! He said the important bit. I can't believe I never knew he worked for EC before.

[@kurthaubrich9829]

Thanks for the explanations. Cool for me that is Chicago! I grew up 5 blocks north of there and watched the Marina Towers (the goofy round buildings in the background) being built (around 1960, a little before house of blues). So excellent to hear the stories. THANKS TANK! Made my afternoon!

[@ElsieAng456]

This delights me to no end and I love that I get to see what their roadie thinks about all of their stuff

"AUFZUGBETREIBER!" This look is almost meme-worthy... can I print it on my T-shirt for the next concert?

[@TankTheTech]

Yeah sure. Hahaha

[@sophiesharbour]

You are free to use "AUFZUGBETREIBER" but the correct spelling is "AUFZUGSBETREIBER" with "S" as the genitive marker. The German language is very tolerant when it comes to forming new words.😉 Btw, it seems in this case "AUFZUG(S)BETREIBER" is a "Google translation trap".

[@KristenKing-ix7mn]

Thank you for the back story! ❤this song.

[@DerFrotzler]

Good Video, good song, good reaction with good inside-info. Song and video have their moments but is not overwhelming with little surprises. Still above most of the nowadays published stuff, and funny and entertaining.
