The ELECTRIC CALLBOY Interview 2

[@ASXL41]

The way Kevin turned around at the end there....he knew he was doing fun metal things!

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

The moment he turned around, I was euphoric.

[@m.a.6478]

Yeah, that move was awesome!

[@godwrote01]

He delivered as always ! I cry

[@ZIMBO37333]

I love how Kevin talks about Hurricane (~ 09:40) and how it's played at grandparents' birthday parties etc.. Because just a few days ago I saw Electric Callboy live at a festival and they played Hurrikan live. They asked people to form a big pit. But not to mosh, but for the people to use it as a dancing ground and to do some couple dance. And then I saw a couple (~40 years old) dancing happily in the pit. The woman didn't seem to know Electric Callboy very well, but she was having great fun until her boyfriend/husband pushed her out of the pit just a few seconds before the breakdown was about to hit. She was confused because she didn't know why he was pushing her out of the pit. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but his body language clearly said, "Run honey, you're not prepared for what's about to happen." I laughed my ass off when I saw that.

[@jonnyj00rgen]

Rock im Park was a place, where they tried that

[@plusminusducky5488]

So if you are talking about Rock am RIng and you were situated in the pit very far to the front at the right, I am shocked and appaled you think my wife and I are about 40, because that is EXACTLY the interaction my wife and I had

[@ZIMBO37333]

@@plusminusducky5488 I was in the second row (Zone B) in the very center. Not sure if that's the pit you've just described.

[@mymetaljourney]

Something about metal singers sounding absolutely demonic onstage, being total sweet pies offstage

[@DeathFORcameO]

Electric Callboy and Babymetal are just match made in metal heaven. Love how fun both bands are. They make the world a little less shitty.

[@peterlane6895]

It's like Eurovision come to the metal world

[@gabiruman]

for real I was thinking the exact same thing the other day while listening to it, music like this makes the world a better place.

[@Hanys8]

The best Japan-Germany collab since WW2.

[@philmarillion]

I saw Electric Callboy and Babymetal at Rock im Park last week. They played Ratatata at both gigs. The guys and girls just delivered completely.

[@alicetwain]

Listening to an interview of a German musician by a Canadian interviewer while shopping for British cheddar cheese at an Aldi grocery in Milan. Gotta love the XXI century.

[@CaughtSomewhereInYouTube]

I’m a 15 year old metalhead and I’ve been a metalhead since I was a little kid. My dad introduced me to bands like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and that kind of metal. I’ve always been a big fan of classic rock and metal, but I’m glad that I discovered Electric Callboy one year ago. They are just awesome! I hope more people of my generation will explore Electric Callboy! I’m sure a lot of my friends will like it!

[@th3n3wc4d]

It's so cute to hear Kevin's kids are his biggest fans

[@fdox]

i love how you look at kevin´s eyes and you just know he´s an amazing grounded human being

[@russoprimera]

I saw BabyMetal last night. The videofootage used during Ratatata was from FoxFest and the choreography from the girls was so tight and running so synchronized with the video that it really seemed the boys were there somehow. It was cool as fuck.

[@lordmctheobalt]

Just saw them a few hours ago & I can only concur!

[@kylshep18]

Kevin bringing up bird is the word... I'm dead 😂😂 His personality and facial expressions provide me so much entertainment. Much love Kevin!

[@teh_hippo]

[@Acroanidd]

Both my kids absolutely love EC, they are 8 and 11. I can hear my 8 year old daughter yelling out Ratatata from time to time just randomly, it's awesome!

[@johnmclaughlin9674]

This guy seems so inspiring with his good energy

[@aug73]

I saw EC for the first time in Boston last month. Last summer, I didn't know who EC was. Now I'm a huge fan. Their concert was amazing. High energy and nonstop fun. You can't leave an EC show without a big smile on your face. The Boston crowd was great too. The most impressive thing was Nico and Kevin meeting fans, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans after the show. How often does a headliner do that? One of my favorite concerts of all time, topped only by Rammstein. When EC comes back, I will be sure to see them again. What a great group of talented musicians, who love what they do and are grateful to their fans. They make metal fun!

[@sandraschwarz8464]

My two kids (3 and 1,5 years old) love Electric Callboy and Heavy Saurus and now BABYMETAL as well. Ratatata is basically playing non stop right now

[@swisslover]

I am a 60 year old man, who hated metal his entire life, until I saw this gateway group. Never thought I could listen to metal and smile, but I can.

[@philippmeier3363]

Honestly, I listened to a lot of Metal and still didn't think I could smile. But EC... Man, they are truly special

[@talaniel]

Yeah, I think every genre probably has some, as you say, "gateway". So I stopped "hating" genres :-)

[@8tonystark8]

Sorry for wasting all those decades not listening to the best Genre of music

[@janetrasmason6549]

I am 73 and in a wheelchair. My son intro'd me to EC in March and my Mothers Day gift was seeing them May 13th in New York City. For a few hours I forgot about my limitations and just smiled, laughed and chair danced! 🤣

[@swisslover]

@@janetrasmason6549 I love that. Rockin and Wheelin. Never stop enjoying life!

[@davidriddick82]

The bird is the word…. 😂😂😂 Kevin, I wanted you to know that since I discovered Electric Callboy about 4 months ago, it has changed my life. My 3 daughters and I and my wife dance to your music every single day. It’s so energetic and amazing and I can’t wait to see you guys in the US soon, and I am from Florida 🤘🏻 Much love to you and Nico and all the guys, thank you thank you 🙏🏻 DANKE!!

[@gabiruman]

can't wait to see Kevin and the guys at Resurrection Fest in the end of the month, probably my last concert before I become a father, will educate my daughter with Electric Callboy for sure.

[@mondschwarz8078]

I cannot put into words how happy the 2024 metal scene makes me. Nik, I hope you know you are a huge and positive influence. And it is amazing to see Electric Callboy transcend Germany and become a big name in the international metal scene. You are the recognition German metal needs.

[@m.a.6478]

I could listen to you two talking for hours! Thanks for the great interview!

[@kennylaysh2776]

I want to see Electric Callboy live so bad, has to be such an experience. I haven't been to a concert in forever, last time was Linkin Park in 2014, and I have to say I was shocked how much of a happy/party vibe that was. It was pure energy from the band and the crowd until midnight. I can't even imagine how wiped out I would be from going to Electric Callboy, lol.

[@pedromoitinho5959]

I'm Hypa Hypa to watch electric callboy for the first time in Lisbon, 30 of june. Last thursday i told my wife that I recently became a big fan of the band, and that same day she came home with 2 tickets for the evil live festival 😊

[@navezdidier]

Electric Callboy is like Healthy Fun Medication

[@viqero]

Electric Callboy are one of the first bands i have seen live and the show was just amazing

[@nickb4344]

Warms my heart to hear that Kevin's kids love his music too 😊 my 2 year old daughter has been enjoying EC since she was just a few months old, and is definitely her favourite band. Kevin is her favourite, and Everytime We Touch cover her fave song. Much love ❤

[@TheKilaby]

I have never heard of Heavysaurus before, but i checked them out just now and they seem really awesome and kid friendly introduction to metal. I definitly would takes my kids there, if i had any xD

[@stryfer1989]

I maintain that Electric Callboy is one of the best things to have happened to music in the 21st century. Not just for metal, but showing all genres that music doesn't care about which category it fits into. It lets us do whatever we want with it and whatever makes us feel happy.

[@TheSalPic]

I think the genre is "fun". It's just so fun!!!

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

Tis truly a special thing

[@TheSalPic]

Goddammit coming out of the NA tour vlog into the Dad talk...these are the best dudes.

[@marcusdedorsson8741]

Just expierinced a show with them a week ago on Sweden Rock Festival. So much fun! My wife usually only like the pop-parts in the songs but suddenly when they played live she could appriciate the harsh vocal too. Great show! 😊

[@loutaira]

Thank you for the interview! Kevin you are amazing. We will always be with open arms to receive what EC gives us. ❤🎉

[@AndLOLGG]

I have three kids and they think Electric Callboy is fun music. They don't understand the lyrics yet, phew! 😆 My youngest is 3½ years old, she's like bursting into the kitchen while I'm making dinner to Ratatata, makes horns, and trips over the grocery bags on the floor.. gets up laughing and dances wildly. My oldest daughter is 10 years old and we're going to see Hanabie live July 3rd, and she's so excited. The Japanese bands Hanabie, Baby Metal, and Band-Maid are slowly getting her to like listening to hard rock and metal, and I love that is what she chooses to listen to rather than 1 minute (max) meme-songs..... That's what here classmates listen to apparently... But she listens to full length metal songs. I must admit that I'm a bit proud. 😁 Oh, metal, and Taylor Swift.

[@Chief_Ten_Bears]

Lately I've been listening to artists on pods before I even hear their music. And when I listen to the music, I'm so poised to like them, it's great. Lovely dude

[@StevelandCleamer]

Can confirm that my 6 year old son absolutely LOVES electric callboy

[@Schubrakete86]

Great interview Nik. Kevin is such a cool fucking dude. Well done.

[@reubenk7331]

Freaking love interviews with EC members. So genuine and happy 🙂I really appreciate everything Nik creates, and everything he is involved in!

[@ralfklonowski3740]

Kevin mentioned Brazil and touring. "Please come to Brazil" and "Greetings from Lima" are also very common in Babymetal comment sections. If they'd do a double headliner tour through South America together, folks down there would go bonkers.

[@peterlane6895]

Not just South America... it should be a worldwide tour. The energy of both bands together would be such a fantastic and unique experience. Too many times Babymetal bring bands with them that take music SOOO seriously that it would be refreshing to have someone with them that would enhance the fun side.

[@ralfklonowski3740]

@@peterlane6895 While I agree with you, planning and playing a world tour is time consuming stuff. South America would be efficient as up to now the fans there had no opportunity to see either band live, and you'll probably get away with a quick nine-city-dash, let's say Mexico City, Lima, Rio de Janiero, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Santiago de Chile and Havana. No, not Caracas, if anything I heard about crime and violence there is somwhere near the truth While the distances involved would make for challenging logistics, the limited amount ogf shows wouldn't tie up both bands for too long. And again, the fans there are starved, while Europe, the US and Asia/Australia have been toured by BM multiple times.

[@ejune0381]

Love this band so much

[@domer1752]

[@feedthemonkey83]

Fun Story how I came to Electric Callboy. I knew them before but I was not really open to that. I hear a lot of Progresssive Metal and Rock so my taste usually is really technical oriented. And then I played Ragnarök on Oculus VR. And they have Hyper Hyper as a song there. And I played to all the songs of the game and finally landed on Electric Callboys song. And this stuff made so much fun to listen and play and so my mind opened to that. So "Kevin" ... We need more of your songs in these games. Thats what I wanted to say !!!!!

Interview with Kevin Ratatatajczak

[@katherinej51679]

Seeing Knocked Loose open for Gojira is what got me in to heavy music! Before that show, the heaviest musoc I knew about and enjoyed was Metallica. Of course, after buying tickets I started listening to Gojira, fell in love with Alien Weaponry, but I had decided that if we were late we may not have to see Knocked Loose bc i really disliked the high pitched vocals. Well…AW actually played first and I wasn’t going to miss that for anything so I had to be there for KL and it was a life changing moment. What a show!!! Even as open ended they killed it and I was HOOKED and now they’re one of my most favorites…I’ve probably watched every interview from them on KZbin. I love their music and their personalities too.
