The mystery of "what happens on tour stays on tour" disappeared the day that motley crue published "the dirt" or when Queen told their stories as a series. Plus after the warped tour incidents I like the accountability of people talking about it.

@Martin_Koepl 12 күн бұрын
Haven't heard, read or seen the Queen stories, but the dirt is a well constructed train wreck, a scandal book that portrays Motley Crue in a certain way to built their partying rock star reputation. There might be a grain of truth in it, but well that is most likely all there is.

As a woman who spent a good chunk of my life on the road I am so so thankful for what you're sharing SO MUCH BULLSHIT would not happen if people spoke up and called it out instead of just living by some bullshit code. Thankfully I had (the vast majority/mostly) good experiences, but as a woman there sure was some bullshit that did occur that I never felt like I could really share without affecting my career. You share what you share professionally and you bring to light a lot of things about how it works for people thinking about jumping into the industry which I think is awesome. For those of us who had to jump in blind feet first up to our necks, it feels like it should be some sort of responsibility to make sure people know to some degree what theyre getting into

A lot of the female musicians I know personally became resident club DJ's after a few long tours because they get to be in the booth away from everyone else, get to play the music they like, and they get free food and drinks usually which of course is usually NOT the band touring situation for a lot of ladies

Especially for someone outside the industry who has no personal or professional experience with any of this. I'm just a music and music content fan. And it is so cool to hear first-hand experience from someone with such a cool background. Don't stop with the current series. Nevermind anyone hating on it. You're doing it the right way. And it's awesome that it's bringing new and hopefully lasting attention to your channel. You've always deserved it.🤘🤘

As someone who toured in the eighties and nineties, many tours did live up to the reputation that's been set. Eventually, management realized how much money the bands could actual make touring and how the profits were disappearing from album sales and it became more of a business where the craziness was weeded out. It's better today as longevity in touring is preserved by the absence of the craziness that used to be.

It's so important to talk about industries because if things are allowed to operate in secret is when abuse of power can occur. Any tour that wouldn't hire you for your stories is a tour that probably wouldn't line up with your values and integrity.

Love the behind the scenes on your Roadie Vlogs, especially when looking back at your first reactions. "The lighting director for their shows is great." And then me thinking, that's Patrick, you'll be shooting the shit with him in a few months. Or your comment on the "camera guy" being on stage and filming the crowd during the breakdown in We got the Moves. That's Christian, you two will be giggling and chuckling at an in-joke within 2 roadie vlog episodes. But most of all I love how you're basically Nico's support animal on his side of the stage. He seems to be someone who can get a bit stressed at times and can rely on the friend he's got in his corner. Friends working together without stupid hyped "reality show" stuff. Eagerly awaiting the next vlogs.

I absolutely LOVE this series, keep it up! It seems just about everything is being told on social media now, I don't think anything is "private" anymore. It seems as though the crap has hit the fan both on and off stage, bandmates fighting, singers in particular getting angry at and attacking fans or random people in the audience for taking pictures or just having their phones out in general. So much has changed but by the same token maybe other things really haven't, with social media and people's phones/cameras it's just more accessible for everyone to see.

I love this types of videos. It makes me remember the time I was a roadie for a few shows for an Uuruguayan band on a summer. I didnt do more than help them load and unload stuff, and I wasnt getting paid because I was a teenager that was a fan that offered themselves as help so they could interact more with people. And one time, I got paid with a smoothie. GREATEST 4 OR 5 DAYS OF MY SUMMER. After the smoothie show, they had to drop me off but couldnt get to deep into the city because they had to take a route to get to their home, so they left me like a good 2 kilometers away from the apartment my parents where renting. And I will always cherish those days.

Being able to share personal experiences & express the salient points or message _without_ identifying those involved is a testament to your integrity Tank... far from a negative, it shows that you have the self-awareness, maturity & professionalism to know where the line is. That's a desirable skill in a lot of industries, because it demonstrates you can be trusted to advocate without revealing important info... it's even a skill that's nurtured in executive coaching, because learning through other people's experiences is 2nd only to experiencing it ourselves. And if people can't apply critical thinking to stories they hear on the internet, that's their problem... it's not your job to fill in the blanks to satisfy their cynicism or curiosity. 👍

I remember one of the vids when you were with EC in Europe, the guys told you that they talked about what it would mean to have a known KZbinr with a gopro on his chest with them, and they all agreed it was fine. They knew to expect to see you always filming, and to expect you being recognized and have people cheering for you. They were totally ok with it. It’s obvious that they haven’t regretted that decision.

There's no mystery anymore but there is stil ignorance, and as a layman I really appreciate not just the stories but the education about touring crews' jobs. There are so many hard working people behind the shows that most of us wouldn't even know about otherwise, and they deserve to be recognized and appreciated. So if somebody says "you shouldn't talk about it", they might even unknowingly hinder these people's chance for better pay and working conditions and just allowing the greedy ones and the assholes to thrive instead. So huge respect for doing what you do, keep it up!

However, we talk about the maturation of our industry & how we are growing up. I think what you are able to do is part of that. I appreciate your stories & wish you the very best. Be encouraged.

Much appreciated, man. Our industry has changed a ton. Truth is, even 5 years ago I wouldn’t be comfortable doing this, but it just felt like now was appropriate. 🤷‍♂️

I don't think I ever really looked at the "mystery" of the music industry until you mentioned it here. You are right though. Growing up (im currently 43), you would have to buy magazines just to see what your favourite artist said in an interview, or go to a show to see them in person, or stay up late to watch "Loud" (C'mon fellow Canadians, you know what i'm talking about! lol) to see the latest music video! Now, it's almost force fed to you so the "mystery" and excitement has been replaced with just mass consumption! *Old man shakes fist at clouds* I miss the old days! 🤣

I'm enjoying these stories as much as anybody else. I figure there's ppl out there that are "scared" to hear about what goes on or went on during a tour they were a part of but as long as the person telling the story is even comfortable doing so and has been a roadie long enough, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think what you're doing is really important. I imagine some of your viewers are aspiring roadies and it's good that they have a peak behind the curtain so they can know what to expect.

I thoroughly enjoy these series. I don’t get to tour but some of the small weekenders my band (Roses Unread) has done have been a lot of fun. Mostly just me in the back asleep and us listening to crime podcasts and making fun of each other.

7:17 - growing up Tool was one of my favorite bands, and I never even saw what any of the band members looked like for at least 6+ years of listening to their music. I hadn't thought about that, but you're right, things were so different.

You strike me as a straight up professional, reasonable and solid dude so by that measure for you to talk about this stuff very transparently and honestly, diplomatically when required, then it's probably appreciated for all the good it can do, as well as the anecdotal fun. Electric Callboy are the last people I would expect to have a problem with you talking and entertaining on the side (although to this day I have no idea how you know them..)

I feel like you doing this is a good way to make people stop being so shitty on the road. Everyone should talk about the stories they have and people who treat others like shit should know that people aren't going to just keep quiet and let it happen.

A lot of it is the basic Team/Family dynamic that naturally develops, along with the isolation of constantly changing environments as you move from place to place constantly while on tour.

I love watching Roadie Storytime on your YT, Tank. It is so cool to see what your career is like It would be cool if you got to write a book about your career as a roadie and then manager. I would buy that book in a heartbeat (that is if you want to do it)
