The thing about Electric Callboy, and what makes them so great, is that they don't care about being the best, the most talented, etc. They just simply want to make music and above all, have fun.
Exactly the same reason I love steel panther, they're incredibly talented but they just want to have fun
@Woofmark They're the Bloodhound Gang of the metal world
"I dont want to be the best, I just want to do my best"
First and foremost they want to make money, I think no one can doubt that.
@@DasIstDerMars That's okay. They invest a lot.
"There should be another pair of tatas in there" - Justin Hawkins 2024
Actually there is a RATATATA. You can hear it when the 3 ladys pop up, right before the much too short break down.
But in the rest they sing ratatataTATA.
@@Lakin3 I think you're missing the joke here... Get your mind in the gutter
@@Lakin3 swooosh...
I was in tears. 😂😂😂
You could say there was a trio in there... sorry i'll get my coat.
It's as serious as it can be when they're wearing mirror ball hats.
Right? "Are they taking the piss?" Electric Callboy is, to some degree, always.
@@dianem8544 serious about piss taking 😄
As a forty year old white dude that dances like them, I'm not sure how anyone could not know how serious things are when you Kool aid man 3 walls
@@dianem8544they're Shrodinger's piss, it depends on if and how you look at it
@@ZuzuTheLemon Diligently piss-taking, like it's their job.
the lack of slack on your headphone wire is stressing me out.

Me too...now you pointed it out 🤣🤣🤣
I now feel strangled watching 😮
ha
luckily you can see through his desk and see its a coiled cord keeping the tension.
Both groups seem to be serious about having fun with it.
Well.. Fun shoudn't be taken lightly!
Electric callboy are German. For us, fun isn't a laughing matter.
@@unbekannternutzer25 Yeah! We take fun fucking serious here!
@@unbekannternutzer25 lol
Both Electric Callboy and Babymetal are unapologetically fun bands.
also killer bands . So much to discover
For what it's worth, Rob Zombie fully endorses Baby Metal.
As does Rob Halford.

..and members of Slayer
..and Metallica

Seen a lot of reactions to this, but none had the scintillating Gillete ad commentary.
😅
I’ve loosely followed BabyMetal for years, but I found EC through this channel the first time you covered them, and I’ve not stopped listening to them since, they’re genius.
All of them are extremely talented with multiple side projects, and their aggressive happiness is refreshing AF. They do serious music too and damn it’s good, if you listen to their full body of work and l watch their vlogs, you can see they know exactly where their feet are. This is a great collab.
The girls perfectly choreographed in front and the lads doing dad dance at the back is hilarious. According to the "behind the scenes" they weren't trying to look goofy but just couldn't get the moves right.,
While I'm 99% sure Electric Callboy falls in the "metalcore" genre, I'm very partial to the "meme core" designation someone else applied to them, because their music (and videos) since Hypa Hypa have been catchy, fun, meme-worthy, and just an absolute delight. They're truly the "This is where the fun metal things happen" band, and I love them for it.
They are electronicore, which is a subgenre of metalcore, but I definitely rank them as memecore because electronicore often leans more heavily into the metalcore and prog than EC does.
@@Hymnodic Nice catch! I had a brainfart, and completely forgot about electronicore! D'oh! :)
I've thought the genre electric callboy does is "partycore". Not many people like harsh vocals in the grand scheme of things but combining them with a techno sound and clean vocals mixed in makes their stuff a great thing to play at parties
They have made a song that metalheads want to dance to and non-metal fans want to headbang to with abandon. That's quite an achievement. It has a 90's feel when people were being exposed to both grunge and dance music and wanted to listen to both.
They have crafted something that appeals to everyone exept the minority of people it was probably never going to appeal to anyway no matter what they did. I'm sure most fans who are still on the fence will come around when they see or hear it live.
Why did they do this? Because they knew they could do it and knew we needed it.
Let's make Ratatata this summer summer's song.
Everything Electric Callboy have done in the past three years has been absolute genius.
And don;t be fooled by how much fun they are. What they do musically is extremely complicated and difficult, and they do it flawlessly.
The remark I always see about Electric Callboy is "they don't take themselves seriously, but they do take their music seriously"
Bro, musically it's anything but complicated :D it's fun though
@@AnthonyWabo listen to their other song's. Their production is stellar, both the techno and the metal elements. And blending them as perfectly as the do takes tremendous skill
@@RolandDeschain1 I think We Butter The Bread With Butter does it a hundred times better, Enter Shikari even, and despite me still following EC, their sound since Crystals/The Scene has really dumbed down and they lean more and more into their gimmick.
@@AnthonyWabo if it works it works
Great to have you back Mr Hawkins!
You just gotta love Justin.....
I try to play guitar , but to watch him figure out every chord, melody and timing in a heartbeat is fucking brilliant.
On ye go JUSTIN fucking HAWKINS.
He's good 😎🤘
Funny shit entertaining man.
I’m happy that you’re back making videos on UA-cam, I’ve missed that J Hawk charm/wit. Bring the Rides Again Tour over to the States. We need it.
I saw them live and it was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen
I have never been this early! I just wanted to tell you that I didn't know you before I watched your Sleep Token videos and I really like your vibe! We need more musicians to react to other musicians online! As someone who was born and raised in Berlin, I am genuinely proud of how far Electric Callboy has come!
Your translation for that commercial was pretty correct btw haha
He did a good collab/interview with The Charismatic Voice as well. And she did some great reaction/analysis of his songs/performance as well before that.
So glad you’re back.
I bloody love it. Playing on repeat. The girls are definitely tongue in cheek in this one.
They both ( Baby Metal & Electric Callboy ) are playing this years Download festival. Wonder if they will play this together on stage
Probably, they've already played it live together at Fox Fest
If they do it'll be at babymetal's set as I think babymetal are playing another fest during ECs set
When they played it at FOX_FEST it was during Babymetal's set. Kevin and Nico came out and the Kami Band played the instrumental parts.
They played this song live in Japan, I would imagine they'll do the same where Nico and Kevin appear on BABYMETAL's show. But I don't imagine this will be done very often because of the outfits Nico and Kevin wear. They essentially have to have someone's hand up their ass to wire their in ears up.
@@TheOmegaRiddler yeah I saw tanks video I don't think it'll stop them but I doubt either would play it without the other band being present
Just watched some of your live footage..you fucking rock dude.
I love the facts that Momoko screams in this song. She is amazing.
I see what you did! Making sure people watch right to the end. 😅
You are easily one of my favorite humans, thank you for being so authentic and wonderful!!
Saw Electric Callboy last year, so much fuckin fun dude. BABYMETAL look like they put on a great show too
Saw them supporting Sabaton last year, one minute we were laughing along with them, next we were balling our eyes out at christmas truce.....it was an experience
Watch 'Road of Resistance live in Japan" - yeah, it's a "little" show they do there ;-)
I'm not a big Babymetal fan (too much J-pop in the J-metal for me, but they are undeniably great at what they do), but I did check out one of the live performances they uploaded to UA-cam and it was very enjoyable. Pure spectacle.
@@BugattiONE666I was at that concert last year too, it was awesome from start to finish. Lordi surprised me, they put on a good show too and I haven't heard any of their stuff outside of Hard Rock Hallelujah
In tents! ;)
Out of this whole video, the breakdown of the Gilette ad had me in fucking tears.
I love this song so frigging much
JUSTIN HAWKINS RIDES AGAIN JUST FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
This has Eurovision written all over it
Apparently EC submitted an entry and were not selected
The closing dressed as Robert Plant the morning after in his new concert wear. LOL
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn!!!!! 🤘🏽🎶🎶🎶
I always look for this comment. Nice to "see" you.... AGAIN! 🙂
🤘🏻
So glad you are doing this one. I was going to suggest it last week.. Wasn't sure where to suggest. I love this. So much fun. I didn't see the seriousness in it, but I was just bouncing up and down to it. I love that BabyMetal did clean and one of them did harsh vocals. Hard to pick it out without headphones as Electric Callboy is also harmonizing with them towards the end. Really cool.
You mean they left out a pair of tata's!😂😂😂
"Justin sporting a dress. Huh.is this a new look. Or am i late to the party."
I hope both bands see your reaction! Id fangirl harddd of I saw you react to my music and I'm sure EC and BM would too😍🖤
This guy is freaking brilliant love it! Those ‘rrrrr’ pronunciations 😂
Nice to have you back and making videos again, hope the couple .months off did you good.
If Love Actually had a sequel that focused exclusively on the Billy Mack character (as played by Bill Nighy), he'd totally be doing a podcast a lot like this one. Please take this in the spirit of high praise, you're great!
OMG! Love the whistling bit at the end 😊
next time he's gonna learn the dance 🙂
There really should be a “Funny” button next to the like button. You kill me.
You had me laughing all the way through this one. The at the end "I didn't know Justin had a sist....OH MY GAWD"! Loved it.
I saw someone describe this song as four choruses and a breakdown stapled together and I can't unhear it.
Melt-Banana is my favourite Japanese band .
having fun is cool again...
It's about f***ing time...
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude. I watch your videos regularely but only NOW realize that you are the Guy from "The Darkness!"
WOOW. I loved it when it came out. It was brilliant!!!!
lol. i was soooooo late too realising this.
I saw them collaborate in Tokyo this past weekend and they were both incredible live! (As were the Darkness a short while back!)
Its a fun song & video. Take it for what it is. It puts a smile on your face. People need to smile more
Babymetal were more expressive in this video than I've ever seen them. This is absolutely them cutting loose.
THE END HELP
They made a proper banger here. Too many bands take themselves so seriously in metal, it's refreshing to see and hear stuff like this.
Love it, had a flashbacky of RUN DMC Aerosmith just way harder
There is a Daoko MV which uses the two neigbours scenario.
I love that pretty little "Gimme Chocolate" ditty at the end -- I hope Justin puts that at the end of a future album.😁
That deserves a full cover, great vibe.
1st song sounds like Eurovision 2023 song from Finland, "Cha cha cha".
Both bands on most of their tracks are about fun and getting you to dance along with them. They do have serious songs but even those are meant to get a certain emotion out of you. Its all specifically targeted the way they write. I appreciate this was not a "featuring" track and that both groups wrote it together as a true collaboration. That being said this was a great blend of both their styles. Both clean singers harmonized well and its fun that one of the Babymetal ladies can do the growl vocals and they meshed the harsh together. I much prefer the cohesive blend than a juxtaposition like some artists do. Hopefully they do more work together because this is just a fun upbeat addition to the playlist.
The video is brilliant and just what the world needs now. Been binge watching it since yesterday and have forgotten about the news. Music is a weird mixture of 90's dance beat, electronic metal and hmm... Eurovision. Whatever it is, it's catchy and fun.
If an algorithm can suppress trends I’m sure they absolutely invent them.
Tune of the Summer !
00:55 He did it again!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant!!! Hats off!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And the last part singing like a nightingale🐦 while doing the Babymetal impression with the dress...😂😂😂😂
Thanks Justin!😘
I love BABYMETAL! It's just too fun for even my cold, dead heart to not want to dance along to👹
When I first watched this, I was hoping that it would pop up here but thought for sure there was no way he'd check them out again. Well, look at that, JHRA fulfilled my wish! And that ending, HOLY MOLY!!! Wow! That is definitely an instant "Top 10 JHRA Moments" for me. Love it!
careful you don’t accidentally let us hear more than 2 seconds of the song before pausing and going off on a tangent
The whistler at the end was the best 👌
Thr happiness they make us feel with the music is what it's all about
That was a great observation about the similarities to The Darkness and being taken seriously.
I guess it's not a silly as EC have been in their own stuff, because I don't think BM would've gone along with the obvious innuendi the boys usally spout.
Kawaii dress! 🥰 Very apt for Baby Metal. I’ve always liked them. Don’t know much about Electric Callboy. Will have to check them out. Not a big metal fan but the humour appeals to me; makes the genre more accessible. Good song. Thanks Jus! 🥰
Not my bag baby
Brother, this is the APEX of Justin Hawkins RIdes Again - IT HAS FUCKING EVERYTHING !!!!!!!! Comedy, callbacks (holy shit playing the guitar - "BABAYMETAL"), mockery, ADORATION and LOVE, amusement, the TATATATAs, fucking hilarious German traslation, coldplaylolol, THE PUN!!!!, holy shit I'll stop here - I loved this sooooo much.
This song is so good and the video a lot of fun.
And it bet it's still on your playlist! Went to the same college as you!
Oh my god I just saw you're coming to Finland in june. Thank you so much. Instant ticket purchase!
Electric Callboy are what this world needs daily 🎉❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘my favorite band since 2010
You said the words "hotel" and "California" consecutively. Henley's crew might be on the lookout!
What's even worse is Baby Callboy might've used a similar chord to the last chord in Hot** ****fornia! They'd better lawyer up, too.
liked just for the 'in tents' joke alone ;)
The Camp joke just made me subscribe. Lol
This is just pure, empty your head fun, and I love it to bits. As a Babymetal fan, my understanding of their origin story is that Koba, their manager and producer, was an employee of Amuse who was inspired to combine the serious metal music he loved with the J-pop Amuse was literally manufacturing. So in a way it's a semi-serious band. But they've become much more than the sum of their parts so to speak, and they are all very real people that their fans really care for.
EC is just a fun band that most definitely takes the piss every chance they can. And BM is still just doing what they do and killing it.
Loved this. Electric Callboy are hilarious.
Just finished watching a reaction to Thing Called Love over by The Charismatic Voice and dude she's a big fan now LOL.
I just saw this live at FOX_FEST in Japan. They gave us the best 5 minutes of fun and happiness of our lives. BABYMETAL invited Electric Callboy to their stage, and they sang and danced together. The entire arena, full of the crowd, got lit and exploded! It was incredible to see this song live! It’s so easy to join the party! Ra Ta Ta Ta Ta! and Ooh, Ooh!🤘🦊🤘
I appreciate your honest noodling at the opening and closing segments. Half the time you’re like “ehhhhh good enough” and I think that takes some balls.
Everytime one of those adds, that i've heard enough of (also the Swiss-German/German version), comes up, I wonder how long it takes until Justin installs a working Add-Block... xD
In regards to that briefe comment about sounding like the finnish eurovision entry: the times where EC was in the talks for eurovision are sadly gone. But i guess that you would understand their song "Hurrikan" given the time you spent already in German speaking Switzerland...
Love the dress at the end.
Love your German translations :)
Idk why but I went into thinking you were covering royal republic for a second 😂
Hey Jussy! Any news on when Welcome to the Darkness will be available to fans in the Americas?
Yes please!
Been a huge fan of both of these bands since 2013. Was at BABYMETAL's first 2 UK shows back in 2014 and they've always been incredible.
I get why some people see a gimmick with both bands, but they're both legit and make fantastic music imo.
Their music makes me smile in the same way that The Darkness stuff did, and music that makes you smile should always be encouraged.
There was a UA-camer that said that electric Callboy are a band the doesn’t take themselves too seriously but takes making music seriously and that’s always stuck with me when telling other people about this band
I don't know why, but him counting the tatatas was too funny to me. 💀
Love the editing for this one
Gonna watch this vid again just to hear you say "grrrrrroup" again;)
You can never leave out the Ta Tas. 😆
Like the dress!
Cha cha cha
Euro papa
Ratatatatatata
Is it just me or is Electric Callboy the antithesis of Rammstein? Like, just as extreme yet polar opposite?
Now THAT is the collab we need!
The yinyang of German Rock.
Something about their part of this song reminds me of Andrew WK.
Kinda angry, but fun.
The bands met after BabyMetal saw electric callboy perform and thus the collab was born. Both bands played together in Japan the other night and theyre also both at Download this year.
The second are you ready before the breakdown is actually MomoMetal. She can do some real good dirty vocals
You’re just way too polite in your critiques, which makes your videos all the more hilarious……well done, Sir….and welcome back!
I am really enjoying this channel Mr. Hawkins
Highlight of last week's Rock im Park festival. And they performed it twice!
"They left out two tata's" hade me in stitches
