Tank, 3 things.
1. The German subtitles are very good. You also got most of the references, but probably one of the hardest to catch for non-Europeans is the second verse by Finch. "Fred vom Jupiter" is a 1981 song, Scooter is a legendary German rave/techno band and when he throws his head back and does those weird sounds he mentions "Kohlköpfe" (cabbage-heads). This is a reference to the 1981 Louis de Funès movie "La soupe aux choux" (Cabbage Soup), where aliens land in the French countryside and get addicted to the taste of cabbage soup. Those weird sounds is how the alien speaks.
2. I feel the same way about the criticism - they can put this out for the next 20 years and I'll be hooked each and every time.
3. I am still incredibly jealous of your beard.
Delighted to hear you'll be involved in EC's tour. Hope you have a blast!
Fucking thank you. AC/DC has been releasing the same 5 chords over the same beat for 50 years now and they’re still dope. There’s nothing wrong with a band having a style and a niche.
Yeah someone who thinks like me ❤️❤️🔥🔥
No, they aren't. If band records same album over and over again then you only need to listen to one album to hear all of them.
@@UltraCasualPenguin
for some people that's all what they want. How else do you explain the wild success of AC/DC, Nirvana or Nickelback?
@@jayhill2193 Simple music for masses. If you find something that sells it's way too easy just to milk it until it doesn't sell anymore. For example AC/DC still hasn't changed their style. They're basically still playing their first album just with different lyrics.
@@UltraCasualPenguin Not every band has to be Queen. They can't really.
What I love about their "new" music is that they are so consistent with the quality and sound. I don't really need/want much variety on an album, but rather something that feels well stitched together. And so far EC do it just right for me. I may want to have another song that's like "Hate/Love", but I'm totally fine if their other songs just having the same vibes like Hypa Hypa, We got the moves, Pump it or Spaceman.
Yeah, they said they have serious songs in the new album. Can't wait!
A whole album that you can just pop the CD in at a party and just go hard would be sick
They can go 100 pro serious.. they proved it with mindreader. Awesome. I love electric callboy
Let's do this...
FiNCH's first verse:
FiNCHi Gararin (*1), make the beat louder
Yesterday still in the east German slum(*2)
Today I'm a Spaceman from Eastern Germany (*3)
Kiss my ass (*4), everyone can see thr white stripes in the sky (*5) (up there)
Who needs proof anyway, the earth is a disc (*6)
FiNCH's second verse:
Fred from Jupiter (*7) in front of the supermarket (*8)
Turns the old stereo (*9) on
And raves to Scooter (*10)
Stealing his spaceship (*11)
Flying off to Mars (*12)
(Blblblbl-sound is *13)
(Here are the cabbages *14)
FiNCH'S third verse:
Where are the Jedis at?
Where are the Marsians (*15) at?
Where are the Klingons (*16) at?
Do it like my ex, dumb you hard (*17)
Gonna send Kebekus (*18) through space, away from us on a special German sausage (*19)
Flying further away thanks to zero-gravity
Nothing is as hard as man's ingratitude (*20)
Here comes the Rocketman
Viva La Elton John (*21)
---
And here are my explanations why I translated it that way. Remember that I go for meaning, not Word for Word.
*1
Yuri Gagarin was the first person in outer space. FiNCH is known for his East German 'eastalgia', and Gagarin was very important for people in the DDR. He's often forgotten nowadays. I'm half polish, btw.
*2
Dry walls are what the so called 'Plattenbau', the slab construct living departments very common for East Germany are made off. They are common in slums nowadays.
*3
Again, people from the DDR would use cosmonaut instead of astronaut, because of the Russian influence of the past. It makes sense he uses this word.
*4
'Jaja' in German means 'lick my ass', which is 'kiss my ass' in English.
*5
Not the American stars and stripes, he means Chemtrails obviously. A big part of the East German population has a tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. He makes a nod to them here.
*6
I can't stop wondering if this also is a comment on Putin's propaganda here. Then again: not everything is political.
*7
'Fred vom Jupiter' is a Popsong. I don't guarantee for your sanity or any loss of braincells while you listen to it.
*8 and *9
This is such a 90s kid East German poser image:
A big boom box on your shoulder, and then someone does a really bad breakdance. Welcome to my youth.
*10
'Hypa, Hypa' did sample Scooter, who also were big in the 80s/90s and get sampled regularly. Definitely a nod to them.
*12
I feel like this is another nod to a movie, or a song, I don't quite get.
*13
Chum drum bedrum. He was an ESC participant from Russia. I detect a diss here. But a good one. And honestly, that song is hilarious and good, and it contains a rap part.
*14
The English title of the movie is 'cabbage soup'. A classic about aliens who like... cabbage soup. From France.
Sauerkraut is also made out of cabbage. And I think most German women in their 30s have tried the cabbage soup diet once in their live. Hint: makes you fart. That's also a part of the movie. Farting.
*15
Mars Attacks is a classic.
*16
Germany has a very consistent Star Trek Fanbase. I assume Picard is his captain, which means this is a nod to Worf.
*17
German proverb 'schieß den/die zum Mond' means a hard break up.
*18
I switched the sentence here to have it make more sense in the translation.
Carolin Kebekus is a German comedienne/singer/feminist. She's... Sometimes annoying, I guess. One of her shows is called 'Pussy Terror', but you might wanna check out some of her songs, like 'Dunk dem Herrn'. She is religious, and constantly criticises the Catholic church.
*19
Liverwurst is so German, it hurts. It's what you eat for dinner. For breakfast. It's a staple piece.
There's a proverb about being a pouting liverwurst when you're fed up.
I think he chose the word for the image, and the rhyme with Kebekus.
*20
'Undank ist der Welten Lohn' as a proverb translated. I guess he doesn't like Kebekus huh?
*21
Rocketman, Elton John. A Hommage to a legend. Perfect place to end my comments.
Great Job.
I wouldn't have switched the Kebekus Part.
I would have translated it more along the line of:
Stringed Kebekus to a PITA and shot her to space.
PITA as in Pain in the Ass and the Mediterranean bread.
@@theonly5001 actually love your translation. Yeah makes absolute sense.
The order just somehow bugs me in English, while it's perfectly fine in German.
*13 is also the language from the spaceman in the movie you mentioned at *14.
*6 flatearthers aren´t a Putin thing. It can also be a reference to Terry Pratchet´s Discworld as we have already the 3 boobed wh*re Eccentrica Gallumbits from "The Hitchhiker ´s guide to the galaxy" from Douglas Admas appearing in the video.
*7 and even by watching the video. Andreas Dorau - Fred vom Jupiter
*10 Hyper hyper yes, but more memorable is the Döppdöppdöpp part from Maria which is also very common in the dutch techno scene.
*13+14 those belong together. the blblblblblbl sound was the way the alien communicated in the movie with Luis de Funès (La soupe aux choux).
*18+19 Those also belong together. Kebekus once made a statement that bread with Leberwurst has to be a constitutional right.
*20 think that proverb refers to the 0 gravity part. Still don´t know what he means by it. It helps with space travel but with the german habit nagging about almost everything this proverb might fit.
@@buffbaer native speaker sure love to explain other native speakers their language, huh?
But a reference can be for more than one thing. I think he's intelligent enough for that.
Flatearthers is very surely a reference to the Querdenker from Saxony.
You hit the nail on the head. When Nico joined, I feel like the band hit their stride and because of that (with a little help from reactors), they have blown up. Each single since Hypa Hypa has just gotten bigger and bigger and that success is due to them sticking to what works. It's fun. It's heavy. People love it. Great reaction as always.
PS- Hope your monitor is alive and well 😂
Shoot, my mom loves their music simply because it IS party music. Why does this work, bc in party music you don’t give a damn what they are saying, its all about the beat and overall sound
Nico brought a new style , but also a “normal dudes “ image. Sushi was great, but he was too much theatrical and explicit for the band. That’s why IMO Nico lines up so well with the band.
Full transparency, I LOVE Sushi, consider him a friend, and talk to him regularly. But I do think that the member change was good for both parties, as EC really seems to be in a groove, and Sushi is able to do his own thing and express his art the way he wants.
@@TankTheTech I agree completely. Like most, started listening with Hypa Hypa. But I also started listening to the older stuff with Sushi and it was also great. Both MC Thunder tracks, Crystals, and even others are great songs. They just weren't getting that attention yet. Honestly, it was thanks to you and other reactors that gave them the spotlight. It just so happened when Nico came into the picture. It was like a perfect storm
yes, yes, & yes 🙌 lol 🤘
Nico is the best thing that happened to EC in my opinion. They were awesome before but now they achieved legendary status. Nico fits them so well dude its almost scary
I wonder those who criticise EC doing “the same “ could support this statement with factual support. The last 3 singles are completely different, but they keep a thematic tone.
Guess what, that’s what artists try hard to achieve when they create an ALBUM. The guys are plain simply geniuses doing their stuff, and it’s really really hard to succeed in any single release.
Actually - even if it would be true....who cares. We're all having fun and that's what matters, not the opinion of a few people who desperately look for something they can criticise.
That said - I have watched quite a few reactions to Spaceman now and I think out of all of these two people where more critical; one for what Tank mentioned and the other one didn't vibe with the rap which is fine, not everyone has to like everything. The majority of reactors, musicians and no-musicians alike, just had a blast with the song.
It was the same with Linkin Park. And they where so fucked up by this fans 😅
i think it's fair to say, that most if not all bands (especially less known), have a wet dreams about finding some working, unique formula for their music, that fills any niche in the industry, and this band just found that, so i hope they stick to it, because that's the very reason they stand out from other bands and makes them unique
i think people's problem, is just the fact there's no shock anymore, after hypa hypa everybody basically knows it's a mixture of pop and metalcore, but imho still every new song sounds quite fresh (and to be honest, their sound is even more polished and well put together with every new single, like this pop and metal music just blends more and more well with each other)
In a musical sense they are repeating themselves in a many ways. Use of flat 2nd in the heavy parts, song structure (EC breakdowns hit you about 2:00 into every single I've seen in the last 2 years), the main hook melodies sticking mostly between the root and fifth of the same register, hard stops in the breakdowns, etc..... But that's their thing. I've learned to expect it and frankly I'd be disappointed if I didn't hear it in one of their songs right now. It's like a good horror movie. You can see it coming, you KNOW it's coming, and it scares you anyways. It's a sign that they're doing something right here.
EDIT: Plus they are not touting themselves as the next great Prog Rock geniuses. They're about fun and they get 5 stars in that category from this listener.
@@RushAss spot on !
Hey Tank, it might seem like a minor thing but your edits for the german lyrics, the big "Viva la Elton John" or your bleepcounter make the video even more appealing than before. I really appreciate the effort. :)
It was also more than obvious that you were absolutely hyped and enjoyed every moment of the video. Stay true to yourself and keep on doing what you're doing as long as you have fun doing it.
Also have fun being back on tour!
Fun fact, this video took me longer than most other videos on my channel, just purely for the little edits and adding the lyrics. I had a blast doing it though, and I'm glad it's appreciated!
I agree! he did such a great job!
Agree wholeheartedly with this comment
I'm so fucking happy and proud for Tank, he's achieved so much in such a little amount of time, and now he's going to be a guitar tech for Electric Callboy's US tour. Totally going to buy a shirt soon to support the channel! 🤘🖤
Thank you so much for the kind words, and I appreciate your support a ton!
@@TankTheTech 🖤🤘
When I discovered them (around 1.5 years ago) I was like "I can tolerate the heavy and the screaming, because it's funny & catchy & kind of dancy". Now I'm like "It's fine if Rave is your religion, but shout it at me HARDER".
Back in the '90s, when the voluptuous blonde plus black rapper dance projects were sprouting faster than one could say "Urban Cookie Collective," criticisms that it was self-repetitive and resonant came almost immediately. Nevertheless, Eurodance has filled the dance floors for almost a decade. So the only response to accusations of EC being repetitive can be: RAVE ON!
p.s.: Who else wants to see Tank's hair styled the Jimmy Neutron way?
I don't think I could get my hair to do that. If I tried I'd look more like Wayne Static. Hahaha
Tank , sugarwater 😅.
@@florianlunne9100 DreiWetterTaft ;)
@@BadMoonHorrors Tatooin , Sandsturm,die Matte steht. Xoxo Jimmy Newton
@@TankTheTech Who else wants to see Tank go full on Wayne Static? :D
Congrats on breaking your Beep-count record Tank 😁 Oh, and btw, great reaction 😎 Looking forward to the album 🤘🏼
Critics: "Ever since Hypa Hypa they're just doing more of the same"
Hate/Love: "Am I a joke to you..???"
Plus as you said... so? let them do what they want, exactly as with the name. It is their band, their music, their decision and I dig it more than their older stuff tbh. I lost them somewhere around "Bury me in vegas" and now they got me back!
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN!!!
You know, the Finch feature is probably the best thing that could happen to EC inside of germany, their fun style will be spread even wider thanks to finch and his fans. In general they are just really similar so thats a perfect fit imo
I heard from some of the fans that they really don't like the Finch feature. For me personally it fits perfectly.
Yeah, for some reason I've seen a lot of people say they liked everything but the Finch parts. Me personally, I loved it, especially with how creative the lyrics were.
@@TankTheTech Im one of the boring people who thinks the song would be a total 10 without FiNCH. The same lyrics, but in english, belted out by Nico would be epic. But I suppose the german rap will grow on me
It's a feature i didn't know i wanted it until it happened and it's a perfect match. Both have a great sens of humor and mix different genres. And now we have a Song mixes metalcore, hardstyle and rap in 2 languages. Great.
Not the best thing but a good choice
Bwahahah the Elton John censor! I think that hilarious mustache ship may be a nod to you and RichoPOV. :-D As usual, a great reaction! Can't wait to see these guys live!
See you in Brooklyn!
After thinking about it, I'd definitely like to think it's a nod to Richo. If it had a beard, MAYBE I'd consider it being a nod to me. Haha
@@TankTheTech Challenge accepted! #TankBeard4EC
@@TankTheTech Maybe there was an upside down beard under that helmet? (yeah, ok, that's just hair, but still...)
I've been listening to industrial EDM since 1988. I haven't been this excited about a band since Celldweller or Blue Stahli. These guys fucking rock. Their music is so unique and it's fun. Great band. I just found these guys 3 months ago and I am hooked.
I love how you can see the sparkle in Tanks eyes, as he's speaking about going on tour with them and seeing how excited he gets in the beginning. I love your reactions, keep up the awesome work ✨
I would REALLY love a vlog of their tour, seeing him and EC behind the scenes.
The hook is so good tank! My 5 year old little girl was singing it for days after I played it around the house a few times 😂
Tank! I'll be going to the show in Denver. Can't wait to meet you man, your channel has brought me tons of joy!
Another great Reaction Video. Greetings from Germany...
There are two additional references. "Fred vom Jupiter" is a song from Andreas Dorau (Genre: Neue Deutsche Welle) and "blblblblblb / cabbages" is from the movie "La Soupe aux Choux" with Louis de Funès. But once more: Thanks for this reaction!
I'm absolutly hyped to hear/see the "viva la Elton John" on a live concert.
I have to say (I know, a year after the reaction), it's hilarious that you have Elton John's face pop up when you're swearing 😂😂😂
thx so much for your reactions. yeah, this "fu**in" song ist so much fun and you understood it. so much much fun to see ya video !!!! :-x
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN 😍
As always, everything from Electric Callboy is an amazing combination of Hard rocking, Catchy AF, and just plain fun. They are exactly what the Metal scene needed. VIVA LA ELTON JOHN BABY!!
“If I connect with it and it makes me happy” is how I’ve approached music for a long time! Even if I’m the only person I know who listens to whatever it is, I don’t care. It makes me happy
I completely agree w/ u, Tank. Ever since Nico joined the band, EC has found their groove & figured out a formula that’ll bring them major success. Every song they’ve released since Hypa Hypa has been a banger.
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN! 😂😂
Everything said absolutely bang on. Ever since I was introduced to this amazing band, I have been absolutely hooked. Same sound? Sure. Abit- BUT they all have their own little twists and You definitely don't "pidgeon" to pump it, pump it you wanna run in place and do jumping jacks 🤣 I love the fun in it. Nico makes you wanna sing at the top of your lungs and dance, and Kevin makes ya wanna stop and start headbanging with that look of pure filth.
I seriously hope these guys get a chance to tour in Canada and hit all major cities. Not just TO or Vancouver. 😭 Hopefully one day, and you'll have a passport and join em! 😁
That said, congrats on your success with this Tank! And I hope you guys have an absolute blast touring U.S!
It took me a few listening to enjoy it fully, for this one. Don't know why exactly, the chorus is super catchy, and the rythm of the song is great.
But what I do know is that I can't wait to see them live on Saturday in Paris !!! =D
Thank you for this reaction, Tank. Have a nice day !
See you there then :D I hope they'll play that song this is fire!
It was the same for me. This song is amazing and super catchy but somehow it took me listening to it more than once to fully enjoy it 😁
@@She-Devil94 I gotta say, I'm still not quite there yet, as the Finch parts seem a bit disjointed and out of place to me but I'm sure I'll like it more upon listening to it several more times.
That's interesting.
I've been talking to my brother today and we both had the same with this song. It starts to stick quickly, but we also both can't really explain why it took a bit longer this time.
Same here. Wasn't sure at 1st listen. But now 5th time. It's kind of growing on me.
The "blblblvlblblblblblvl here are the cabbages" is a reference to the 1981 movie "Louis und die außerirdischen Kohlköpfe" (Louis and the alien cabbages) Louis de Funes was a french actor who was very popular in germany... At least for our parents and grand parents. Made lots of comedy movies and this one was probably his most successful one.
@TankTheTech THank you very MUCH for doing the translation for FiNCH! Your video should been done by EC when they came out. Awesome job, man! I wonder if the big hair was reference to anime Space Daddy!
Elton John F-bomb counter was the best 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for this since the release of Spaceman. Finally.
Broooo! I'd love to get to see you and them! As a lost german in Nashville its so nice to see them be so loved ♡
Love the "Elton John" counter lol!
Edit: Love seeing the Byf video in the "Watch Next" for you ^_^
I fell into the hypa hypa hype when the song came out 2 years ago. I had never heard of that band before and I’m sure i played a huge part in the millions of views they have (my friends now hate me for sharing all their videos 😅). Finally going to see them live this Saturday 🤘🏻
Was waiting for this reaction since they dropped the Music video. As always love the intensity the fun your views and just the great content man. Always have me laughing and having a great time!
OOOh yes. hear it in the german space before. Thank you again for a awesome reaction. and were talking about tank! ;-) and this piece is epic!
Shame we won't get to meet, I will go see them in Germany in may!
It’s awesome that you’re teching for their tour! I’ll try to catch up with you at the Louisville show man 🤙🏼
I'm 51 and enjoy the hell out of these guys!! Hope to see you at the Seattle show. Not sure if your familiar with the venue. Ummm, wish I could see the look on your faces 🤣.
Yup, been to El Corazon MANY times. Hahahaha
@@TankTheTech I'll be in Nashville May 17 through 21st. Any venue suggestions?
I love the swear counter in the left corner 🤣 it's ridiculously amusing hearing and counting on how often Elton John bleeps out swears. VIVA LA ELTON JOHN
Old School Nerd just gave you a testimonial on his reaction to Electric Callboy's "We Got The Moves". I lived in Berlin for a week in 1983, before moving to Osterholtz-Scharmbeck where I lived until 1986.
Agreed on finding your sound and not needing to detour every cd or song. In fact it reminds of one of my favorite quotes by a rock icon, (Angus Young, AC/DC). :
“I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sound exactly the same, In fact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”"
Although, since he said that AC/DC have made even more albums that sound the exact same.. And their fans rejoice!
One reference that most people miss is at 5:34. In the movie "The Cabbage Soup" with Louis de Funès from 1981 that blblbl is a form of communication for the alien.
Also as for other weird and funny sci-fi music videos that I had to think of while watching Spaceman:
- Full Steam Spacemachine by swedish rock band Royal Republic with an incredible catchy chorus and riff
- St. Pauli by Jan Delay
I was just going to mention that - but you already did. If one wants another video with many Sci-Fi references I would recommend "Knights of Cydonia" from "Muse".
They made a great decision to add you as a guitar tech dude. Hope you have the BEST time man!
I like your reactions a lot. Good work 👍
You're going to have such a blast with them, really excited for you!! They seem fun people to be around. I loved the German show they were on where Kevin, Nico and a lady were upping the game trying hot sauces 🤣 I didn't understand what was going on but it was still really funny seeing them laughing 😄
EC never fails!!!!
So many Elton John's 😂😂😂
Loved your reaction 🤘😃🤘
Does anyone notice that the green woman in the video is a cross over between Star Trek and Star Wars.... Nice touch... Great song, great video and great reaction...
I don´t think they are doing the same since Nico joined the band, in fact each of their released songs has a different theme and structure as well as a suprising moment that made me like "uh, that´s odd, do i really like this?"
Hypa Hypa was the song where i learned that this band should not be taken too seriously, first i thought it was stupid, then i liked it.... Hate/love came out... solid, serious themed song about falling in love with a toxic maneater and yeah, the chorus was familiar and i found the similarities to that offspring song too.... We got the moves had that hardstyle breakdown that ended in a breakdown, blasting lots of reactors cause man, they did it again... something completely unexpected! And now no one of the both permanent vocalists has neither a verse nore the C-part of this song, it was given to FiNCH completely except the pre-corus where Kevin comes in... They are keeping it fresh and as you said, it´s their style, that´s what made them so popular worldwide... would anybody recommend AC/DC to change their style with what they are freaking successful for ages? I guess not!
Have fun with these guys on their US tour man, i think it´ll be a blast!
Loved the swear counter btw... ;P
Saw them live last night in London and the new style party core mixed with their older stuff works really well for a balanced set. Absolutely loved it and it was just a fun gig
Good stuff as always from you and the guys!
This song and video was insane and got my ticket for October so excited to see a show from them.
some of the greatest bands of all time have been doing the same stuff for 30 to 40 years and it's worked well for them. i have no problem with that. another awesome song from these guys.
Hey congrats on the tech job! Should be great. Also great video as always.
Was really awesome as always and am completely with you on the stuff you said.
It would be awesome to see you and the EC guys doing like also behind the scenes stuff etc. really cool to see how all of it worked out and i hope and wish you a lot of fun and a great time and good music on your tour with them
Such a fun song, can’t help but love everything that Electric Callboy puts out. I’ll see ya in Grand Rapids towards the end of the tour!
Hey Tank, it's almost 800 comments already, so you'll probably never see this one.
Still, I wanted to leave a big THANK YOU here for your content. The attention to detail and research work you put in here sets you apart so hard from the others who reel off their 6 minute reactions and are done for the day.
You always collect interesting side-facts that one has not even noticed even as a fan. In addition, you round off the whole thing with your wonderful self-awareness and the ability to laugh at yourself.
Please keep it up and stay as you are.
Really nice shtuff.
Thank you very much for the kind words! And I see EVERYTHING., 😂
On my first hearing of this song i start jumping around in my flat and had a veeeeeeeeeeery good time doing it. and i was happy. and im no metalhead :D but as you said: the combination works excellent for me
Looking so much forward to it!
Love your reactions/energy man, definitely the best out there imo. Keep up the great work!
I have a strange parallel: I love Eskimo Callboy the same reason i love Bong-Ra. Mixing metal with other genres in the most destructive, awesome way.
And holy shit Nico's voice is insanely good.
I want these guys to tour with Nanowar of Steel. That would be a killing one.
Awesome reaction as always, and congrats on the EC tour. Hope you manage to fit in some gym time before hand so you're ready to handle 'that' guitar from Pump It 🤘
I'm gonna NEED gym time, without question. Haha
Man. It is so heart warming to see you get all misty eyed from pure joy from this (and others) song! Makes me feel happy too!
This song has been on repeat for multiple hours at a time since it dropped. Loving everything Electric Callboy have been doing recently and am as always LOVING the insights you give. Plus the translations. Keep it up you absolute legend!
That's awesome you're hitting the road with them. Congratulations! That sounds like you're going to have a blast!!! I already have tickets for the Grand Rapids, MI show (November, I think), so hopefully we can meet up if you're not too busy. So looking forward to this show. These guys put out banger after banger. Shit, I haven't even watched the reaction yet, lol. As soon as I saw you were going out w them, I wanted to say congrats! Let's gooooooooo!!!
EDIT: Great reaction. These guys can do no wrong. I'm with you on the new vibe since Nico joined. Every single release has been a banger. I still like Hate/Love and some of the other great songs on the EP. And I totally hope you're spot on with that new CD this summer. Everything you said makes total sense. Would be so cool.
Dude, would love to meet you there. I love the Intersection and can't wait to be back at that place.
I love when bands do a healthy mix of sticking to their roots + doing new things
just like Whitechapel
´´I do know how to pronounce words and shtuff´´ just killed me :D
that blblblblbl from finsch in the 2. appearance must be a reference for the 1981 French Louis de Funes Film "La soupe aux choux". In German "Louis und seine ausserirdischen Kohlkoepfe". Great Commedy!
Ill be at the LA show for this tour!!!! Hope to see you all!!
🙌🙌🙌
They were completely forgettable previously. This "new" sound is incredible and 100% UNIQUE! Give me another 20 years please!!!!!
As long as listeners continue to enjoy the bands music, that is all that matters. These guys do have a common sound, and every time I hear, I f’ing enjoy it!!
POWERMAN 5000 and electric callboy in one video? Hell yeah
This might be my favorite song since Nico joined the band. It's fun but not too goofy.
The only thing I'm not a big fan of is that they always use the same formula since Hypa Hypa (soft beginning > sudden heavy music > sudden electronic part > chorus > repeat).
What a greeeeeeeaaaaaaat reaction to a greeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat song! Thank you, Tank!!!
To be honest, first time I heared "Spaceman" I didn't like it because of Finch. Rap is absolutely not my taste. Meanwhile, after I heared it several times, it changed something in me... and... I like it! No... in fact, I don't like it... I LOVE IT!!!
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN!!!
Finch is a lovely guy born in eastern Germany. So.. I think he's like me around 32 yrs.. and was born around the Germany unity or close past it. This took huge influence to his lyrics, style and even his name. He started with rap music as Finch Asozial as a battlerap artist and was seen in some Berlin clubs/shows (like Rap am Mittwoch/Rap on Wednesday).
Now the twist and why I thin this combo is awesome.. :) He changed his music few years ago. Songs like "Abfahrt" got similar Party Gabber/Hardstyle beats like Eski.. sorry.. Electric callboy (EC fan for the past 10 yrs, my heart is still bleeding a bit with that namechange).
So I think it was not a big deal to bring rap and hardcore/metalcore together since the partystyle was already born on both sides. I am pretty sure that EC will release a "scooter song" soon. Finch already did after he requested the djset scooter with HP Baxter as a "shouter?/singer?" (idk). Funfact.. Finch wrote a song that is only focusing on "I want a song with scooter, but they did not answer me yet". They answered him after releasing this song. ^^
Scooter (Finch is already singing about them in Spaceman) is the final missing part to write the ultamtive partysong... I think the combo Nico Kevin and HP will kill some ppl in every moshpit in fact of partying to hard.... :D would be happy to see this combo in the future.
Finally..even if I love the "old" EC style.. They always tried to go for this party music. Not the way they did actually because they load even more hardstyle beats to their music. But as a fan of hardstyle, Hardcore, German rap music and EC.. I am fine with that. :D
@@bXehy danke, für die Infos über Finch, kannte ihn vor dem Song noch nicht ;)
@@RatedRsUniverse und ich Kämpfe hier den ultimativen Autokorrektur Kampf.. :D dabei spricht er auch deutsch. xD naja für den Rest ist es sicher auch interessant.
@@bXehy Naja, kannste ja nicht wissen xD
Ayyyyeeee, congrats on the tour teching! I agree they have found what works with them and are absolutely nailing it.
Hell yes man! I've had tickets to the Columbus, OH show for a couple months now. May have to upgrade to the VIP package now.
Dude, since Hypa Hypa, I finally found a band that I can be sure I'll enjoy every new song and video for it :)
I wonder, how many do get the reference to one of the godfathers of comedy "Louis des Funes" from France and his film "The Cabbage Soup":

My guess would be not many Americans. I had someone on Discord explain it to me wen we were going through lyrics.
@@TankTheTech Yepp. You probably need to be European and old like me. Louis des Funes was extremely popular in Germany and a hero of my childhood in the 70s.
@@music2seeconcertphotograph457 Louis des Funes and his films was also very popular in East Germany and his films were some of the rare "Western" films that were allowed to be shown. As Finch is from East Germany I guess that is were this reference is also pointing at.
@@music2seeconcertphotograph457 who are you calling old? ;)
But that's at the end a easy one to explain, but even me as a German I don't understand the Kebekus/Leberwurst reverence! Mayday, help, SOS, pleeeeease!
I love their style and song structure. I hope they keep doing what they are doing. They are an awesome band that I always look forward to seeing their videos. And your reaction to their videos!
I appreciate your approach to enjoying music and your technical dives into these bands and their music. Super hyped for you to be touring with EC. Thanks for all these videos and I’m looking forward to more!
I swear Tank and I do not coordinate these lol it’s almost creepy….. in a good way?!?
Your beards are telephatically linked and synching your releases.
I can't hardly wait to see them live in 2 weeks in my hometown again. ♥️
YES, finally your reaction as well! 😁 I've seen these coming in from various people over the past few days, but your reactions to the Callboys' videos have always been my favorite 🤘🏻 Typing this during your intro, the hype is real 😁
The reason I love watching your videos is I can see your passion for the music and you have fun with it. Congratulations on becoming a tech for EC. That is going to be a blast. Hopefully I can make a show.
Love your reactions and all the details you share
I was hoping it would work out for you to tour with them and am so happy that it actually does. Loved the reaction as always. You´re the reason I discovered them and listen to them now, even though I am german and listen to Metal... all in due time, I guess.
Checked your channel like every 5 min since the song came out. Love your energy and I am actually hyped for you and EC, that you will be on the road together. Cheers!
Loved your video, as always, and I'm super stoked that you'll be going on tour with them this fall.
Great work dude!!
I am super excited to go see them in October when they play in Seattle. Haven't been to see a show in a few years for obvious reasons. I'm guessing their live shows are just as much fun as their music videos.
Dude congrats!! that seems like a super fun tour to be on.
So psyched to see your reaction to this (and thanks to you and your German fans for the subtitles!)
And congrats on the amazing tour news! Reaction videos have been so helpful in keeping my sanity through the pandemic and yours were some of the very first I came across -- hope I can give you a high five in appreciation when you and the boys come through Brooklyn in November!
Great reaction as always Tank and gratz on the gig that is awesome so glad if worked out.
Absolutely blast work Tank! Awesome song and react! Thank you mate!
Your comments on the kind of music Electric callboy is doing just made me subscribe to your channel! Loved your interview (or more like chitchat) with E.C. ...so much fun and learned more about them. This band is SO stuck in my head right now, I can't help but play repeat their song over and over... I'm so much waiting for them to come to the US on their tour cause you know its gonna be INCREDIBLE!....keep doing great reaction videos, doing great!
Ps: loved that you're one of VERY few that caught the reference to Elton John....Awesome!
What else can be said man? The boys are at it again, I’m just sad they didn’t announce their album at the end of this single, but clearly 2022 is gonna be their year, so I’m fine with waiting lol.
As for the tour, I’m sad you’re not coming to Pittsburgh, but congrats on landing the tour regardless man, you’re gonna have a fucking blast and I’m stoked as hell for you.
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN
This band just keeps getting better. They really know how to make metal fun! Going to the Brooklyn show in November. Can't wait 🤘
