[@TomTomson81]

Uninterested Christian probably best reflects the normal German man reaction to a compliment. He was very moved. You can see that 😂

[@marita2g]

The perfect reaction for sure. xD

[@kondonano]

I thought he just woke up, so that's why he react like this😭

[@TankTheTech]

I actually think he was trying to work and I was bothering him. Hahaha

[@marita2g]

@@TankTheTech haha. Oh 😂

[@Fearothy]

mimicking david's drums when he starts tekkno train together with tank and nico has become one of my favorite things about these vlogs

[@gargaj]

Nico's air drumming during the solos has been surprisingly accurate.

[@rockerfarm6445]

I gotta say I'really looking forward to seeing the diffence between US and European tour now

[@marita2g]

Me too! Im so curious how different it will be. And the difference between their own shows and the festivals!

[@Breamo_]

Anyone else smile when tank goes on stage and the crowd cheer. I do everytime

[@shivnz]

TANK, with electric callboy as the supporting act 😆😂

[@coldburnfreeze801]

I don't mean to sound pathetic at all. That being said, these videos help carry me through the never ending soul crushing days I am stuck in. I have somewhat recently lost the use of my legs, and not only seeing, but also feeling the joy you have makes my day. I know saying all that shit is cliche. I guess it's a long drawn out way of saying thank you.

[@heidibaltom8138]

I love that Willi has gone from "I hate people" to "I like you very much". We all love Willi too lol. Its been so special to watch the relationship with you and the whole EC crew blossom. Especially you and Nico. He really seems to have grown attached to you and its so sweet. Also the info about "virtual soundcheck" was so interesting. I didnt even know that was a thing. I would like to see a video about what sort of things you need to do to get a tour up and running.

[@teaches2010]

Tank understands the assignment! First thing unpacked and plugged in is the gaming system!!

[@andreaspedersen3952]

The day Willy enjoys a smile: The end is near!

[@STELLVIA.]

Love these, can’t wait for the US tour’s behind the scenes. Danke TANK THE TEKKNO ❤

[@musicinc.819]

i love how the Audienc is cheering for Tank if this continues he's gonna be bigger then Electric Callboy

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

i love that the crowd know you, thats awesome man

[@FlowNeffets]

Don't worry - your German does not suck. The people working in Dresden are most likely Saxonians, so from the region there. They can have a really strong accent that is hard to understand even for native German speakers, so it sometimes is hard to communicate there with standard German.

[@mxmox]

Second this! I’m from the northwest and I‘m confused in east and absolutely lost in south Germany 🤡

[@h3adban60r]

what I don't get is that no one of them speaks english. We have that from 4th grade on in school, and it is non-optional. Even if you're terrible at school, how do you manage to not understand "ice in cups"? *facepalm*

[@FlowNeffets]

@@h3adban60r mostly it is a question of exposure & needing to speak English - there's a lot of people in Germany who are bad at it. Same goes for French. But that is an international problem: I know some French and Americans who had German lessons in school, but cannot communicate using it.

[@marcbrune7995]

@@h3adban60r Before the Reunification in 1990 the first language to learn in the east was russian. Might have to do with this.

[@CherryGS]

@@marcbrune7995 But then the people in catering would all have been at least 45 or older, to have had russian as first foreign language. my age group was the last to get the blue and red "pionier"-necktie, but also the first to start learning english instead of russian in 5th grade, and i'll be 45 this year. And in my experience it's hard to find someone from the "younger" generations (like 35 oder below) that doesn't understand at least so rudimentary bits of english.

[@MagnetonJjungle]

What a great series of VLOGs this was. Enjoyed every second of them. Thank you so much for doing this, Tank.

[@AdeleMcAlear]

Tank - I'd love to learn more about advancing a show of this size, please. I'm particularly interested in the gear that you have to rent in N. America vs. Europe (How you deal with the voltage difference on everything, or does EVERYTHING need to be rented?) As a woman who at 18 wanted to be a tour manager and was told that "there's no room for women on the road" (sorry to say, I gave up that idea back then because of that) I am seriously living vicariously through you and these vlogs. Thanks for all that you do.

[@BlackCatBritt]

if you're not subscribed to his Twitch channel, you should. He's been doing tour advancing and answering questions on livestreams. All the VODs are there for you to replay.

[@AdeleMcAlear]

@@BlackCatBritt Oh, thanks for the tip. No, I'm not on Twitch very much, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

[@nexifyable]

09:40 i hear Powerwolf, i like

[@Schmierwoschd]

There are people out there whom are worth it to call friends... and you know what is said: Germans need their time to warm up, but when thy do it's for lifetime. Enjoy and have fun. Keep it rockin'! Thanks again for the insights.

[@marita2g]

It's the same with us Norwegians. We are kind of introverted when you first meet us. But then BANG. Lifetime friends

[@Ossey1976]

Willi is the perfect example for that... from "I hate people" over "I like people" to "I like you very much" during all those vlogs

[@75jvs]

The whole crew seems so dedicated and awesome, happy doing their job! It looks like one big family, it makes me feel good just watching it! Keep on keeping on!!!!

[@monimeia3794]

It is so relaxing to watch this after a stressfull week. Thank you so much. Greetings from Berlin.

[@CWright72167]

I hope these continue for the U S. Tour. I'm honestly addicted to them. I'll be at the silver spring show!!

[@thedudeabides6786]

These Vlogs are not only fun to see, but they also show how much fun you have with this band and also how professional you are with your work. Bravo dude!

[@ca.b.92]

I think it is very great that you are able to give such a behind the scenes inview to us. I don't think that every band would be comfortable with so much crew area footage, and I am happy that you are allowed to do so.

[@Lengsel7]

The coverage of catering did not disappoint.

[@asmith2951]

I found your tour vlogs just as fun and interesting as Electric Callboy's offical ones. Thanks for the series and for hopefully more on the coming American tour.

[@Torron79]

Thanks again for the huge insight you always give us. It´s great to see the other side of the medal aswell with all the work that´s behind every tour. Really like how the crew is treated and how the fun is stil lthere with all the stress that comes with touring!

[@sluggowonder]

great whiskers almost in the food shots... lol Saw the backup Vinnie Paul snare. nice..

[@KingCrusoe]

Nico is the literal definition of "goofball". I swear if I looked it up in a dictionary it'd just be a picture of him XD

[@rhodridavies9426]

As someone who is in a band, these vlogs have been eye-opening. getting to see the kind of work that goes into a show like that was fantastic. And I loved the camaraderie that the whole band and crew had. Was truly enjoyable watching this journey. Thank you. And maybe not a vlog, but a video going over what goes into advancing a tour/gear rentals and all that, would be interesting. At least to me ;-P

[@CandynoseTwinskins]

This series has made me a huge fan of Electric Callboy!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

I appreciate that we can enjoy a wee bit of the behind the scenes.

[@dg4972]

Awesome Tank, Thank you! You´re so dedicated to your work, so great and adorable! I freaking love Christian, his sense of humor and his german-english "It´s easy. You must score one goal mehr than the other" 😂

[@tor6684]

Just brilliant! And a Huge thank you for these Vlogs of yours. Not only a really interesting insight into all these endless hours of stuff that's actually required for some 90 minutes of public entertainment, but also this EC/Tank-match made in heaven. Just imagine some other band that would allow "a roadie" to show his own recorded videos from the band's tour... but on the other hand, after your "The nicest band on the planet", we shouldn't be that surprised. By the way, stars might align, Big stars manage to find each other... and then they deliberately align.

[@DareDevil0504]

Woo another tour video I think I watched all the other ones 2 to 3 times each with how much I enjoy these be hind the scenes stuff

[@jorgjorgsen7528]

hey tank, i was a bit in a bad place mentaly after 2 weeks in the hospital i got out yesterday, ive seen this upload and i instantly moodswinged bcouse i know i have now a good 50 minutes i will enjoy alot. :)))

[@ELECTRIKDOOM77]

YA........YA!!!!!!!!!!!🤣 Thank you for taking us with you on this journey TANK!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChokyoDK]

I hear that Powerwolf playing at 9:37 :) 🔥🔥

[@papapudzy7376]

wooooooohoooooooooo didnt think we were getting anymore

[@patrickbachman2184]

So many emotions are returning ,the last night of a tour always used to rip my guts out. You’re with family. You’re with your friends and tomorrow everything‘s different. You look forward to the next one, but there’s such a sense of loss that unless you’ve been out on the road doing this, a lot of people have a hard time understanding exactly what that feeling is but like …we used to say it’s never goodbye. It’s C/YA

[@silvialittlewolf]

Genuinely great insights into the behind-the-scenes of a tour. Vielen Dank!!

[@rollingmetal949]

"Another voltinger" ok thst was ADORABLE

[@Jacqueline.1964]

You'll miss the guys, but will be able to practice some FIFA ;-). Have a nice break and give Claire and Ingrid a big hug!

[@RedEbSeb13]

I can’t wait to hear about the hard-ass Canadian border crossing guards. I got the third degree coming back from Disneyland and I’m Canadian.

[@NxLvB4]

Vlog of the year

[@seanduncan3327]

Watching all your vlogs made me realize "hey, lemme check these guys out" 😂😂

[@FatWhiskyDrinkingGuy]

Tank spotted on stage, the fans go wild! So what do you call a roady with a fan club?

[@TankTheTech]

🤷‍♂️

[@staalhard4044]

Lemmy from Motörhead used to be a roadie. Also Ross The Boss and Joey DeMaio from ManOwaR. So yea, who knows... 😄

[@ASXL41]

I just realized it's 30 days out until the show in Silver Spring 🤯🤯🤯

[@efrayimbulka2292]

I cannot wait for that. So lucky they are coming close by and If Not For Me is going to be an amazing opener

[@repairshop22]

This series has been so awesome to learn the ins and outs of what to the attendee thinks is "just a concert". It really is like disney magic coming together every night in different places. Incredible.

[@dennistrusty5145]

I feel like I have been on a journey on this Tekkno Train great job everyone involved enjoyed every vlog!

[@toias0]

This has become one of my favourtie things to watch on YT, love the chemistry you guys have together. Like a match made in heaven

[@MB-cp6ri]

I'm emotionally *not* ready for the last vlog of this leg of the tour. @TankTheTech please, please, please also film the upcoming NA & Japan concerts!

[@cm3ars]

From a fellow tech, yes please make a blog of the work that goes into advancing a tour, rentals, riders, overall logistics. It's such an essential part of the job. Would be great to see that represented. Thanks for sharing and letting us live vicariously thru you!!! Cheers and be safe out there!

[@charlesdorak523]

It is so cool to see these videos. I had to be in Germany for business and missed the tour by a week. Wish I could have seen it. My question is how do you not get homesick being on the road an away from your family for this long? I was there for week and was ready to get home to see my family.

[@TankTheTech]

It’s just something you have to get used to. It’s always there when I’m touring, but the guys on tour all lean on each other cause we‘re all going through it, and we keep in contact with our families as much as possible.

[@hannablackcat6096]

Yesss I was waiting for this vlog :) From Dresden but couldn't get tickets, so I was super interested in how this show went. And damn that you missed the actual city. It IS beautiful. So next time for sure. Thank you so much for your great vlogs and interesting insights. Looking forward to the NA vlogs!

[@chaosmeisters6781]

I am bummed this series is over, but I cannot wait to see more of this from the US. Hopefully, you can do it. Thank you for sharing the BTS look.

[@dnocturn84]

Thank you so much for doing this! You're a true hero!

[@craigandrews787]

Superb blogs , binged them all whilst struggling with illness , you deserve all the success , well done. keep going your a star

[@ericflick5697]

Appreciate again your choice to VLOG it has been really great to see all the behind the scenes enjoy time with the fam before getting onto the US part of the tour!

[@projectwhaterv3170]

Wildly more entertaining that i expected. Well done.

[@griesi31]

Its kind of bitter sweet but also beautiful to see your last tour vlog for germany . It was a blast to follow you, meet you in person and learn so much about the bts stuff going on. I realy hope you go on with this content for the US/Canada tour , so we german fans can overcome our EC/Tank homesickness 😊❤

[@janetrasmason6549]

Was so happy to see another Vlog!!! Yes, would be so interesting to see a blog about prepping for the American tour! My son surprised me with tickets for May 13, for Mothers Day and I'm so excited to see you and the band! Hope we get the shot of Ingrid shouting "Daddy" at the airport when you returned!! 😊

[@barberjr1742]

I cant even imagine how hard it would be to engineer a hallway venue... seems like a headache

[@WromWrom]

Somebody having DIRTY LOOPS cover of "Circus" in loop? Nice one, did not expect it.

[@MarTinDDfx]

Thanks Tank! It's through your content I only discovered this band. I like your positive attitude and the hard work you put in. ANNNND Dresden is my home town. Cheers and all the best for the NA tour.

[@TheBrianRaglandChannel]

😁😁😁😁Very cool video Tank. It's so AWESOME when you go out into the crowd and you get the recognition you deserve. I swear, I bet in the United States that you're going to be recognized by way way many more people and it's going to be such a fun Thing .........that always brings a smile on my face when I hear the crowd cheering for you, man.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Cirris]

The post show section gave me a "I don't want it to end" vibe to it. I know your setting up the US tour with them, so we'll have that. Lets hope you guys can hook up for another tour in Europe again.

[@Omneyvdwatering]

And again a cool vlog! I'll miss them while you are preparing the US tour!

[@jakobkretschmer6198]

You're welcome for the box, mate. Looking forward to the US tour vlogs! Jakob

[@brianhaflin9799]

I think most artists prefer doing an actual soundcheck so they can have a few minutes to make sure everyone is on the same page, make sure there isn't any clear issues, and make sure the stage is set properly for them. Especially if they are working with local crews that might have missed something or working from a different stage size/set-up or equipment than other shows.

[@Paraatrush]

Tank, i will definetly miss your Vlogs. This Series was a very interesting, unique and funny behind the scenes. If you ever were unsure how this turns out...I hope we were able to erase every doubt. You are a great person! Ja Sicher!

[@TinyPandasaurus]

Thank you to EC, the crew, and you, Tank for all you’ve done to bring this content to us. I’ve learned so much (and started learning German because of y’all!). I don’t think I’ll make it to a US show but I hope to catch y’all in a few years when I’m in a better place to do so. Much love and good luck with the US tour!! (Everyone else who can go, let’s make it sold out!) ❤❤❤❤

[@marita2g]

Same! I started to learn German because of these guys. Some things are similar to Norwegian. Hate the "dar, das, Der, die etc" xD Currently on 27 day streak on duolingo! Sehr Geil! Let's hope we both get to see them! I found out about them after they were in Norway, and everywhere else were sold out xD

[@egnerac]

I would love a video on how a European band handles an American tour, from how they acquire staging, sfx, trucks, buses, crew, etc but maybe that's just me. What they bring over vs acquire here, etc. See you at Sonic Temple!

[@Cocked_dolly_grip]

Sad that we gotta wait a couple months to see more vlogs but this one was just so wholesome overall. I can’t stand how adorable Ingrid and how much everyone loves her. You truly are one of the family with the band. You were meant to be exactly where you are and no one else deserves it more than you. Usually midway through my cheeks are hurting from smiling so hard, keep these vlogs coming!!!

[@TheExoduser]

Perfect end of the week! I absolutely love this vlog series and the insights you give us. Please keep on doing it! Next time EC is doing a concert near me, I'll have to go too (and hope to see you there as well). Every concert so far looked like an absolute blast. ♥ Also I literally melted on the "another voltinger" that was just too ADORABLE! 😂

[@orfeous]

This was an epic tour vlog series! Thank you for sharing all this! I enjoyed everyone in this. I will admit that i have been doing some dance moves to some songs :) Dont forget: ja sicher :D :D :O 😄😃🤣😂😅

[@panzerelli]

thank you so much for all these vlogs! it was amazing to kinda relive the dresden gig again but from the other side of the stage and also kinda achieved life goals, seeing myself and my friends partying at the barricade. it was an amazing show and overall an amazing tour :D

[@christophergehrke417]

Can't wait to see these guys in Chicago...also can't wait to look for you Tank!!!!!!!!

[@patrickmasopust5780]

Danke Tank for doing these VLOGs! Looking forward to see more of those awesome people, not just on the stage but also behind! And happy for you to be a part of this!

[@compuholic82]

Venue wasn't the best. It took forever to get in. The line outside was insane. I really wanted to see Coldrain and I only caught the last piece of their set. Way too few toilets for the amount of people, so I can definitely see how the water pressure was low. The show was awesome though. I also have never been to Dresden before. But you are right, it is a very beautiful city.

[@DarthHunter5]

24:30 Dajoooooooooo! 🤩 🤘

[@Ghost_Rider676]

Thank you Tank for posting the last show on your vlogs I was gonna say there’s one more show but so glad you posted this. I love your all the vlogs you posted with Electric Callboy all you guys really make my day and after watching your vlogs, it makes you feel like you’re actually there so thank you so much Tank, we all look forward to more of them in the future 🤘🤘🤘🤘

if or better when you`ll be back in Dresden i would gladly show you the city - and i see i was not the only one with the idea to get you some eastgerman snacks

[@Ossey1976]

The moment the audience was seen for the first time, I swear I could hear somebody scream: "TANK!". You definitely are a backdstage celebrity now 😀 Also: had some rough two days and wasnt in the mood to watch this last night when I noticed it, but damn, it cheered me up today! Totally needed that!

[@B4r73l5]

Thank you Tank. Hope The Journey continues in The us and a

[@GummiBoink]

This has been such a good series, from getting to see just how much work is behind a production of this size to the amazing wholesomeness of such a tightknit crew and band. Thank you, Tank, for letting us come along on this journey! Will you be joining the guys on the European festival summer too? I really wanted to catch them at Sweden Rock this year but with work and cost of tickets and travel etc it just isn't possible this time around 😭

[@marita2g]

Love these Tank, I love how well balanced all the vlogs are. Now the tank vlogs are on hiatus. Well Im just going to do what I have done with the other vlogs. Rewatch like 8 more times. Is great to rewatch every other week or multiple times a week. They really are so entertaining. Thank you!

[@ambersue1979]

This was so much fun to watch! I’m so excited to be catching the Chicago show for my birthday gift! Told the hubby he doesn’t need to shop, just needs to be ready to rave…he’s gotta work on his “Blblblblblblblbl” though 😂 enjoy your family and see you soon!

Did this venue guitar tech for KISS a while back. BY FAR the hottest show I have ever done. With the super low trim and the Germans hating AC. It was like bing in an oven.

[@metalheaddd97]

[@promiselikealie]

I started watching these just to see what the band SiM and coldrain toured with was like, but it's been really interesting to see how backstage works, get to know the crew a bit, feel the routine of your job... it became familiar to watch these, especially back in february/march when I saw SiM/coldrain, it was fun to catch glimpses of coldrain's soundcheck in your vlogs haha. ALSO, the inside jokes and the presents you got, so sweet! And today I find out; the band has great taste in pre-show music 😄 Thanks for taking us along, I'm curious to see what the US tour will be like! Have fun!

[@rockerfarm6445]

I'd love to see a Vlog for prep

[@TheStrykerProject]

Wow! I know you said the show was sold out, but that place was PACKED! Every square foot from the stage barricade to the back wall was occupied by humans. What a great show to end the European tour! VERY much looking forward to more Tank-cam in the US. 🤘🏻
