Thanks so much for the great coverage! What a good feeling to be understood! 😍👍

NIce to see you here. Greetings from near Bayreuth, hope I can see you live some day the online concert you published on your channel looked like so much fun. :)

Hey Tank, thanks! For reactions (and folks) like this we made this video. We had a lot of fun shooting it and it's pretty cool others have as much fun watching it. And by the way: I had a lot of fun watching you watching our video. Hell yeah! Rock on!

Man, thanks a ton! This was absolute gold and you guys should be proud that you made such a fantastic ode to METAL!

You could say J.B.O. is Germany's answer to Weird Al Yankovic. These guys are covering everything left and right and make (great) Metal out of it. But usually they do their songs in German and that could be the reason they aren't really known in the US. I discovered them more than 20 years ago and still love them.

If you switch Polka for Metal then Weird Al is not bad a comparison.

[@mypaulkalkbrenner]

The Albumtitel Planet Pink could be an allusion to the Die Ärzte Album Planet Punk.

[@windsaw151]

Oh man, I feel old now. I have their first album where they were still called "James Blast Orchestra". It is no surprise that they didn't gain traction outside of Germany since they sing predominantly in German and their main focus is on parodying existing songs. Some of their favourites of mine are "Symphony der Verstopfung" (Basically "Symphony of Destruction" but basically singing the "Symphony of Constipation"), "Im Verkehr" ("In Zaire" with the topic changed to sex education) or "Rache" ("Nightshift" from the Commodores but he is singing of taking revenge on someone by secretly pissing into his beer). You see, the problem is that the humor totally gets lost in translation. I am happy to see that this particular song was worth it just based on the video alone.

Hello everyone, I came from Germany and grew up near Erlangen .... J.B.O. has accompanied me throughout my youth and will be with me for the rest of my life. I haven't been able to pay the number of times I J.B.O. seen life even at small local village festivals. Often the whole band came to the bar after the gig and the party continued for a long time. I'm so happy for J.B.O. to see and hope that there is still a lot to come! Greetings from Germany

[@ichwilleswissen1376]

First EC then WBTBWB and now J.B.O. which was my Metal / Hard Rock entry band back in the mid to late 90ies.

[@madamecoffin3073]

I´m from Germany and love J.B.O since the 90th . Hope you hear more of them.

[@knarrepete]

J.B.O is great ... its been on my side for alomst 30 Years, great fun to listen em.

[@koersten1237]

I love JBO! Their humor is outstanding. They are not well known outside of Germany as they sing mostly in German. I've been a fan for a long time! Great to see them back!

[@Derjovo]

J. B. O. Was, is and will always be a cover band of a different kind. That's part of their DNA. Metal and hard rock covers of other songs. And we love them for this.

[@StarsWithScars]

You pin pointes that

[@Sarimae23]

Hi from Germany... saw JBO live twice now...and they ROCK... they are so funny... well, and i AM a Maiden fan from the first days.... :P

Oh dear, you just popped a bubble :D looking forward to seeing more reaktions to JBO from you! Greetings from Germany

[@yeehaayeehaa3816]

Hi, love ur reactions. On 10:07 came the shark ... it's for an cover from another great german Band from the 90`s: "H-Blockx - Time to Move" (i guess...). Worth to listen. Maybe "Risin' high" ... Greets

[@HerrXabu]

Meddl was my first LOVE :D Thank you very Much Tank (!!) ...and best Greetings from Germany

Their version of Roots Bloody Roots by Sepultura is fantastic! I remember those times when I had to argue with some friends that this isn't Sepultura feat. Pavarotti :D

J.B.O. meets Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots (live Earthshaker Fest 2007)

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

Yes! As pointed to by someone else below, at some point it was Sepultura feat. (the singer dressed up as) Pavarotti. Live on stage. @TankTheTech you should definitely check that one out.

[@Phantomias75]

Many years ago in a Metaldisco near Remagen (Germany) called Rockpalast they played JBO's Roots, and no one noticed it, until Pavarotti starts to sing :-D

[@YoghurtderWeise]

Oh yes... J.B.O is around there for a long time... My first J.B.O Concert was i think 1999 in Hamburg

[@noenken]

I'm not even a metalhead but J.B.O. is special. A real-life-meme-metal-band but actually cool. There is just something very German about that level of methodical silliness. Only other acts I could compare them to would be Weird Al and maybe Reel Big Fish, both of those musically entirely different of course. But then there is also the language barrier and the fact that their references are stuff only known in Germany a lot of the time. ... The more I think about it the more I want "KZbinrs reacting to J.B.O." to be a category. That would be so amazing! xD

RIP John Miles... Your music will always be remembered and JBO is part of that.

[@44WarmocK77]

Love the shark snatching the beer bottle. It's a reference to one of their own songs, "Der Weiße Hai im Dechsendorfer Weiher" (The great white shark in the Dechsendorf lake). That scene pretty much sums up most of the lyrics. :)

[@mystik8063]

Ich mag diese Band seit 1997 schon. Die sind einfach total schräg drauf. Es macht aber immer wieder Spaß zuzuhören

[@Anax2000]

J.B.O. was my first encounter with Metal and i still love them up today. We are all Verteidiger des wahren Blödsinns! Really freakin cool that you reacted to them. Greetings from Bamberg (City near of Erlangen)

[@darilsteelbone1278]

YAY! Thank you Tank! I know and love J.B.O. since the 1990's. They always did covers of songs and played them with own lyrics in their own style and humor. Always great.

[@buffbaer]

really love the detail in this video. a reference in the reference. reminds me of resorting my music after a wild party. wrong CD in the cover.

[@JohnSmith-kd6ip]

J.B.O. is comedy metal. Very skilled musicians, with funny attitude. Understanding the (german) lyrics is half the joy of their music. Think of J.B.O. as metal version of Weird Al Yankovic. Lots of covers (or renditions) and lots of own stuff.

[@CANNIBAL_CORPSE_SFU]

i grow up with J.B.O and the böhse onkelz - both from germany.. 2 of my favourite bands (from germany) Great reaction.. nice that we get new stuff from J.B.O. !!!

[@PaBa42]

I have a special connection to JBO. My first concert to which i drove after i got my licence was JBO (Cologne 1998). Vito (one of the Singers) and i share the same birth date (not the year). What i love the most about them, the a really fun. They dont take them self to serious, but play with passion and are the defenders of the "Blödsinn".

Welcome to my Metal World for more then 40 years . i´m 53 years old and love this music

commenting even before watching. I can see Tank totaly going the full way down the JBO rabbithole, and right now i am so excited seeing him listen to the great Fun-Metal from those great guys just around the corner for me

[@KrisThroughGlass]

About 10 years ago, I had phase in which I listened to my 2 JBO albums every day. But somehow I lost sight of them since then. Thank you for reminding me, that they are really fun. Greetings from Germany

[@SomewhereProduction]

I think the shark is a reference to one of their own songs when they got famous in our region… I guess 1995 „Im Dechsendorfer Weiher schwimmt wieder der Weiße Hai“… they made it for a local Open Air which was held at a lake side

[@killerman4508]

thanks for the video so many memories of my youth , there also helloween where inside \m/

[@dirksturm436]

I think I found a reference that I have not yet seen that it has been mentioned yet, perhaps as it's a reference to one of the early works of J.B.O. "Im Dechsendorfer Weiher da schwimmt der weisse Hai" (in the pond of Dechsendorf, there swims the white shark).

[@BenGun1saw]

[@Katula3007]

They made an album with English versions of their own songs called "Happy Metal Thunder". I know them for almost 20 years now and they literally pulled me into metal. They were the first band I saw on stage and are my most seen. Met some of my best friends and my first boyfriend in their online community/ fanclub. Yes, they have a special placw in my little pink metalheart.

Ich glaub die erste CD die ich gehört habe war Explizite Lyrik vor über 20 Jahren bestimmt. Und hauptsächlich kennengelernt weil sie wie ich aus Erlangen kommen.

[@MorbidBloodshed]

10:45 that just put an old jbo song back on my radar. "der weiße hai im dechsendorfer weiher". its about a white shark that lives in a pond and eats people. he demands all of the towns beer to stop, but the citicens rather have shark attacks than give up their beer xD

[@Turbo-ic8lw]

I had never guessed you would react to JBO. This band is such a great personal thing for me. My brother moved to Franken / Frankonia and we used to listen to JBO, laugh and drink different beers from Franken. Next years it will be 15 years that my brother passed away and everytime I think of him I listen to the song "Bolle" and imagine him and the "Blonde Engel" blonde angel in heaven.

[@Anax2000]

Aber Bolle hat sich trotzdem ganz köstlich amüsiert! Prost aus Bamberg 😉

[@Turbo-ic8lw]

@@Anax2000 Prost aus Schleswig Holstein. 🍻

[@thorstenahrens3438]

And the next Album Planet Pink is a persiflage about the album Planet Punk from Die Ärzte ^^ so it would be twice nice to react ^^

I am very happy that you finally now know this band !! grew up in Germany it is impossible not falling in Love with this guys!! there is so much for you to discover! greets from Bavaria.

Greets from Austria ... good reaction

[@pin-upmariposa412]

This video has SO many different reference, searching it is fun. Great reaction and fun. 🙂

[@Aracnah]

The shark going for the beer in the Nevermind scenes just might be a reference to another J.B.O. song called "Der weiße Hai im Dechsendorfer Weiher" "The white shark in the pond of Dechsendorf"... There was a shark that ate people until bribed to stop with either three virgins or beer (Kitzmann). But there were just two virgins left in the area. So they put him into a basin of beer. However, the shark drank so much that the people didn´t get enough anymore. So they put the shark back into the pond where it could continue to kill. ("Who cares for a few dead people? Without beer we don´t feel good")

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

Wow, I first listened to James Blast Orchestra about 25 years ago. Glad they are still around and get recognition. A great reaction!

[@nigeldepledge3790]

What a brilliant video! You got a lot more of those references than I did. The only one I got that you didn't was Kings of Metal by Manowar. But, to be entirely fair to you, it does look very like the covers for The Triumph of Steel and Hail To England . . .

[@gurunetbone]

OMG you did J.B.O. - Metal was my first Love!! When I saw it the first time a while back I thought of you immediately cause I knew you would enjoy it a lot. But never recommended it, because I did not believe that it would get your attention through all the other recommendations and stuff you surely have on your to do list. They have an amazing type of humor. I started listening to them like what? 28 years ago? So much fun watching you watch the video :-)

[@matthiasbraun853]

OMFG...how great is that...never thought that you would come up with J.B.O....they are Heroes of my youth-their humour is outstanding. They put so much effort into the lyrics-just to sad that it get`s lost when translated literally. But after all-everybody can rock to the music

[@Vaeleagle]

JBO is one of my favorites Coverbands in Germany :D

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

J.B. O is one really old "staple food" in German heavy metal. Don't know how often I have seen them play live at metal festivals, and they always rock. :D

[@croachy1718]

Hey Tank, finally you got to this band. i had the great honor as a 14y/o to sing a song with them together (J.B.O. - Another brick in the Wall) was so cool man :)

[@TheHohlschaedel]

Good one. Thanks for covering so many german bands. One band that is also around for quite a while is "Knorkrator". They also are ... a little different.

[@Wotsefaqq]

Damn, J.B.O.??? Really??? Wow, Never thought i could like this channel even more 🤘🏻😍

[@EsEhKa]

The shark might be a reference to one of their very early EPs "Der weiße Hai vom Dechsendorfer Weiher" which translates to "The white shark from the Dechsendorf pond" (swimming lake at a village near Erlangen).

[@svicidal]

Niiiice J.B.O.! Great reaction video. "Rock Muzik" is still my favourite J.B.O. Video and its exactly what I imagine my life when I am old. 😅

[@TS-xu3lf]

So welcome in j. B. O army... When we were 16 year old kids in 1996 really everbody had the same 3 albums : nirvana nevermind, metallica black album and J. B. O "explizite lyric" and everybody is still able to remember and recitade evry fu... Line. Still if you wake him in the middle of the night. Theyre for sure not the best band or the best musicians, and nearly every song is a cover as they usually dont do original songs but : they love and breath what they do and i would say they are the haerthwarming funiest band in the world.

[@mickbo7252]

You must hear them live!

[@Avaloniac]

i guess that beer in the nirvana shot was a "kitzmann" a former local beer from erlangen associated with jbo....thats for fans only :)

[@FranFry]

J.B.O. og fun awesome german metal, i love them so much and I'm so happy they're active and dishing out cool tracks still 💕

At minute 6:03 was the PAC reference to Frank Zappa before congress, I think. If you have not seen the video on the PAC you should watch it.

Wahaha, how cool that you picked up J.B.O. Blast from the past, they're hilarious. But I haven't listened to them in years. I'm so curious about your reaction, the suspense is killing me 😁 Ich glaube an den Rock, den Roll, den Rock’n’Roll Den Sound des Himmels und der Erde Und an den Heavy Metal, seinen eingeboren Sohn unseren Herrn Empfangen durch den Judas Priest Geboren durch die eiserne Jungfrau!

[@citycobra5014]

i discovered J.B.O. decades ago and went also on concerts (unfortunately its been awhile). Yes, their songs are usually in german. But i really think you should check out "Gänseblümchen" (daisy). You will know the sound, but probably won't understand any of the lyrics. It is really fun!

[@andrejaeschke3415]

As a long time fan of J.B.O. it is fkn amazing to me, to see that these guys stay true to themselves for all these years! 🍻

[@RimshotKiller]

[@es89iqyr]

That is fantastic --- J.B.O. One of my favourite bands growing up. Best Metal Cover Band you will get out of Germany. Love them, especially because they are from my home town area. Franconia ROCKS. You have to check out Fiddlers Green as well! I would suggest "Victor and his demons" or "The night that Paddy Murphy died" Rock on!

[@dadrumer]

Or their version of whiskey in a jar. Or their what shall we do with a drunken sailor …. Fiddlers Green has a lot of amazing songs.

[@FearOfTheDark]

Wow, this is gonna be great. Not their best song but this is the band I'm listening the longest (since I'm 11 years... over 20 years now!) and I've seen live the most. They're very nice guys. They do a little fan-fest every year with sometimes fan-karaoke where you can sing the songs live on stage with them :D

[@SergioLXIX]

A masterpiece of creativity! Amazing! 🤘🤘🤘

[@AFTIEIRlifIE]

The shark at 10:05 is probably a reference to their song "Der weiße Hai im Dechsendorfer Weiher"

[@VetkinMalzar]

Oh this takes me back. I can recommend "Ein bisschen Frieden" and "Rosa Armee Fraktion", some songs of my youth. Those are both in german though.

[@schustersview6037]

Also in the first part... "Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys" (i think) ;-)

[@nomad1337]

Wow never thought I'd see JBO on your channel! I'm genuinely curious how you react to them, since this is one of their worst songs honestly, but their better song rely heavily on understanding the jokes in the lyrics. They are so much fun live, my buddy and I have a tradition where we visit at least one JBO concert every year, sadly last year our almost 10 year streak was broken because of covid restrictions, can't wait for the next concert!
