Per the Tank "This is a true story about a guy in an elevator at House of Blues named Moss. And he was apparently such a vibe they wrote a song about him." And "Kevin was frustrated at one point on like floor 7 he screamed "I just want to get down" and they said that's a lyric"
They were... and I quote... "not suitable for radio"... one of the most popular, if not THE most popular German band right now is allegedly not suitable for radio... biggest joke ever.
And now one of the biggest German TV programs (Pro7) is (and was ever since pump it) one of their biggest supporters and sponsors. They do Collabs with a late night show called TV total, comparable to Jimmy Kimmel
@@Tiro84 "right now" is not the same as "in 2021". Also don't ignore the name change. And also don't ignore that the format of the national contest is ever changing and the (stupid) idea for 2022 (all national candidates have constant airplay on the youth radio stations) was never done before or after that year. It's a little bit more nuanced.
@Tiro84 that's easy to explain. Not suitable for GERMAN radio. You know the stations that play Limp Bizkit, Disturbed or Five Finger Death Punch...but only their covers of "Behind Blue eyes", "Sound of Silence" or "House of the Rising sun". They're so friggin HARDCORE, these Radio DJs!!! :-D I don't listen to german radio except when I must, in stores or so. But I don't believe anything changed. Just the same autotune pop sh** every single day. Just imagine that song being played...radios all over the country would explode, hearing aids would detonate, the masses would suffer nervous breakdowns... Let's try that! :-D
Funfact: The elevator operator is Uke Bosse, a german actor. But he's not only an actor. He is a also professor on a media school in Berlin for game design. And he was an editor for german video game magazines and he is famous in the german video game scene.
6:23, classic elevator music which is then turned into a breakdown. Only Electric Callboy would dare. Also, TanktheTech dropped some behind the scenes knowledge and explained that this song is inspired by events that took place at House of Blues in Chicago while they were on their US tour. The venue has 7 floors and only one elevator which has a dedicated operator.
@dvsmike love tank but it's so unfortunate to me at least he only brought back roadie reactions for a video of the band he works with and promotes as amazing as I think they are. I've watched so many roadie reactions despite knowing nothing about gear and loved all the knowledge he shared. Unfortunately now we are left mostly with very basic ones that are cut from his twitch streams. I'm happy he's back to work and of course needs to support his family but those reactions were my go to for every new song and even ones I discovered through him.
the mermaid in the elevator is carina pusch. a german makeup artist/yt streamer. she was in "we got the moves" aswell.. i guess she was responsible for makeup and costume in this vid
@@JarradBruessel32 Tank the Tech did a video reacting to this and discussed it. He is their tour manager and talked about the inspiration for the song. Worth it
Being an extra in the club scene hearing the last 60 seconds approximately 800 times was the most fun I have ever had wearing almost nothing in a subzero coal plant. 12/10 would frostbite again for the boyzzzz
I saw a picture of David in a puffer coat, and I thought of you guys. With all those people in there dancing, I wondered if they kept it cold on purpose.
Tell me about it ;D It was so freaking cold, I felt really bad for the girls wearing almost nothing. At one point I got my jacket up to warm me between the takes
Literal elevator music break in the middle of this song, Choo Chooing the chugging in Tekkno Train. I’m convinced there’s nothing these guys can’t make fun. Just perfect Electric Callboy
That club music is dark electro, a genre that isn't well known outside of europe. Artists include Neikka RPM, Sebastian Komor, JUNKSISTA, Aryia, and Laether Strip, and it is definitely a vibe.
4:13 this döpp döpp rhythm is actually a well known rhythm for stadium drummers at soccer games in germany (and im sure other countries too). youll hear it at every single soccer game in germany
I really feel like Kevin's screams has gotten even better the last few years. He is really killing it here! (Just a little more than usual) This is f*ing fire! :D
The bossanova break (it's also brazilian, but it's not samba) is because it's the epitome of elevator music. Then junting to something really chill is musically clever and unexpected. Pulling musical humor as they do is really underrated, IMHO.
Agree! People think they are just being silly, and they are, but there's hidden genius in there, too. Junting to the elevator music... and did you catch the guitar riff during Kevin's scream in the post chorus? It foreshadows the rave music on the club floor.
Here in Brazil we have a band called Huaska, which mixes the heaviness of metal with the melancholy of bossa nova. If you like Deftones and Tom Jobim, I think you'll like the sound of this band!
This song is about the Elevator Operator at the House of Blues in Chicago, as a former musician, that place kinda sucks for bands. You have to ride an elevator to get to the main venue and the dressing rooms or climb a lot of stairs but that Elevator Operator is a chill vibe dude.
They are so damn good, it's beyond anything else at this point. Also someone suggested on their FB they should make a song about being on a bus and called it SHOW ME YOUR BUSSY. I have never agreed with an idea more. Someone pitch it to them, I need it now.
@@mikehurt3290 Yes, Electric Callboy tends to fuse Euro-Dance and hardstyle in a way that makes their music feel more like a party anthem with a metal edge. Enter Shikari and BMTH are more electronicore and blend dubstep, drum and bass, trance, and industrial together with heavy rock to make heavy electro rock music.
Just when I think Electric Callboy couldn't elevate themselves any further, they release my favorite song and video of theirs to date. This is just INCREDIBLE.
4:45 I would say more KMFDM vibes than Rammstein, but the German Industrial riffs are there for sure. I suppose to clarify I feel the stumming pattern is more KMFDM, but the tone is prob more Rammstein. Love all 3 bands, but for me when I heard that part this is what I felt. Love the song.
Dude!!!!! This band was off my radar till I saw your video 4 hrs ago. Since then I've spun them nonstop. That includes this track on loop. Amazincredible. Thanks for bringing them to me@!!!!
The “elevator operator” is Uke Bosse, an actor and professor of game design at the University for media design in Berlin. Imagine your professor is part of an Electric Callboy video
Electric Callboy NEVER disappoint. Ever. Even when their drummer gets sick and Frank fro Sum 41 has to take over without ANY rehearsals. They absolutely KILLED it Good Things here in Australia
It definitely makes sense. Elevator vibes with the song title;lyrics about going up and down; and then the stop for elevator music (or musak). This is perfect.
Smash like for FUN METAL THINGS!!
FUN METAL THINGSSS!!!
We love you Nik! keep the fun metal things coming please!!

Rappers: "I got an elevator in my house"

Hold my bier

So he’s like our Troy Baker in reference to games?
@@TheMostGloriousBeard Basically!
@@levischorpioen right on man. That’s pretty dope.
Werewolf!
And he is 48 years old which is crazy
The samba part is probably supposed to be like elevator music if I had to guess
it is
@@sejadlulic8377 I figured, it had me laughing my ass off on first listen. It’s a great addition to the song.
Sure it is
absolutely , they're fucking genius omg
Actually that sounds more like ‘bossa nova’ rather than samba. But, in fact, bossa nova kind of sounds like softer and slowed down samba.

It pains me that Nick didn't get this
Get this man to the Top. Everybody need`s to know that.
@Tanks video was great!!! Nik's reaction is a perfect contrast!
Came to say this. Anything involving Electric Callboy, i check Tank's channel first
@dvsmike love tank but it's so unfortunate to me at least he only brought back roadie reactions for a video of the band he works with and promotes as amazing as I think they are.

The baby has a Ratatata discoball helmet on.... it's Baby Metal.
Fuuuuck me, I hadn’t made the connection.
WE DO FUN METAL THINGS HEEEEEERE!
REMEMBER, FUN!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Music from Electric Callboy is like mixing coffee with RedBull, you're gonna party for a week without any sleep
This is so accurate
Got to brew the coffee with Redbull. Then you can see sounds.
Straight up musical meth
6:23 I'm pretty sure the Samba is cause it is classic elevator music. When I heard it I had a little giggle.
Total elevator vibes!
Yes!
Was just about to type this! Elevator music classic!!
Actually its bossa nova
4:06 "So random." No, Nik, that's elevator music into more breakdowns.
A breakdown to the elevator music's rhythm even. It's very cool.
The kid at 4:59 is wearing the RATATATA suit. Its probably Babymetal which is hillarious
they had this doll on ratatata set but it never made it to the actual video haha
Babymetal!!! Omg. I can't 😂😂😂
@@LETMino85 You are aware of the Electric Callboy and Babymetal collab?
the mermaid in the elevator is carina pusch. a german makeup artist/yt streamer. she was in "we got the moves" aswell.. i guess she was responsible for makeup and costume in this vid
the guy is Uke Bosse, known for gaming content, a professor for game design and a (small) actor
The real Boss!!
bless you 🖤
He had a small role in the queens gambit as a german journalist
You shound not forget, primariy Uke Bosse is a teacher and professor
A (small) actor....Not anymore he's not. He's the GOAT.
So much fun. To hear Tank talk about the back story of this song is cool to. Electric Callboy another banger.
Just watched Tanks review ahaha
He should react to tanks video about this video
Thanks so much for that tip, that background story makes it even better!
The line "I just wanna get down, but I'm just going up" with context is fking hilarious.
You mean too not to
The fact they made this song and video about The House of Blue's Chicago elevator operator is just crazy.
I now have to meet Moss!!!🤘🤘
I thought it was st. Louis?

@ nah ist was just such a massive industrial space with no heating facilities as far as i could tell
Tell me about it ;D It was so freaking cold, I felt really bad for the girls wearing almost nothing. At one point I got my jacket up to warm me between the takes
2:00 Eurovision reference "pls meow back". If you know u know
Thanks, I didn't notice before I read your comment :D
Yes, because BL (croatian singer) was accused of ripping off EC but EC was more then OK with it.

Tank giving context to the "I just wanna get down" line was hilarious. Kevin is a gem.
Watch sooo many reactions to this today they all got like this "Ooo kitties...We in the club...Is that a baby?" It's such a killer bop.
and Blade
Tank has a great video out about this song. He talks about what inspired the song and some little tid bits.
They have become comfort metal. Like your moms meatloaf it’s so good and you crave it all the time
17 breakdowns IN A BREAKDOWN! Im confused but very happy
5:05 the dreams I be having at 4 in the morning
What everyone seems to miss is the elevator operator blowing a kiss to the mermaid earlier in the video when they are at the floor with the aquarium.
The mermaid is the same lady who made the costumes for we got the moves 👌
4:13 this döpp döpp rhythm is actually a well known rhythm for stadium drummers at soccer games in germany (and im sure other countries too). youll hear it at every single soccer game in germany
Atleast in hockey games 😅
Kevin brings such awesome Kevin energy to everything he does, makes all Kevin's proud.
I'm also a Kevin, so trust me, he's legit.
Bro Kevin’s scream is giving me life what a MONSTER
ELECTRIC CALLBOY IS BACK LET'S GOOO
Whenever Electric Callboy posts, I know I'm about to have a good day. Can't stop smiling from the moment I first hit play
Electric Callboy always makes my mood better.
Honestly. I don’t think they can miss. It’s crazy.
The Rammstein vibes in some of the Electric Callboy songs are always amazing 😎
Kevin is a huge fan of Rammstein. There was a really old vlog (Sushi Era) where they all headbanged to „Du Hast“ in their Tourbus.
I really feel like Kevin's screams has gotten even better the last few years. He is really killing it here! (Just a little more than usual)
This is f*ing fire! :D

The breakdown is elevator music lol
Live they are a total different energy from start to end, best concert I've ever been to
Who up electrifying their callboy.
Minus people cosplaying from the videos, this is exactly how an Electric Callboy show is!
Love it!! They can’t miss!
I get such a Beastie Boys vibe from the video, they're just having fun
By the third junt I was crying
The breakdown in the breakdown is elevator music!
Pun intended!
The "whose kid is that ?"lmfao baby was the only one being safe with the ratatata helmet. pure enjoyment
The last time I get this dance vibe is with The Darkness- I believe in the thing called Love
Seeing them again next week, can't wait for this live. Big dance party incoming.
1:25 is a Backstreet Boys reference from the song Get Down. Either everyone knows and just does not care, or I am the only Backstreet Boy fan left.
You might be one of the few crossover fans of the boys and Nik
@@brandonbrooks779 Proud to have my own little niche.
Elevator music bro for the “samba”. Like Muzak. Also the guy is Uke Bosse, a German actor.
They are so damn good, it's beyond anything else at this point. Also someone suggested on their FB they should make a song about being on a bus and called it SHOW ME YOUR BUSSY. I have never agreed with an idea more. Someone pitch it to them, I need it now.
WE DO FUN METAL THINGS HERE!
Electric Callboy techno electronics is Euro-Dance. Check out Scooter for that sort of German electro-vibe and then fuse that to metal.
Good to know, I know in "we Got the Moves" the techno breakdown was hardstyle
@@mikehurt3290 Yes, Electric Callboy tends to fuse Euro-Dance and hardstyle in a way that makes their music feel more like a party anthem with a metal edge. Enter Shikari and BMTH are more electronicore and blend dubstep, drum and bass, trance, and industrial together with heavy rock to make heavy electro rock music.
I watched this before I watched Tank's reaction. You both nailed the Blade moment in the club. I love that so much.
Lets goo!! We do fun metal things here!
The reaction I am always waiting for when new EC comes around, fun reaction to more fun metal things from EC.
Ilove this band so much
Electric Callboy managed to level up... Kevin's screams in this song are off the charts
doing the elevator music and then the chug breakdown being the same beat is fucking epic
Gotta Love the Baby Metal Reference at the end/easter egg for Ratatata
It's perfect 👏👏👏👏 I wish they showed more of floor 5 though
I just love seeing people who enjoy heavy music having so much fun. Metal is in such a great place. I hope it gets bigger and bigger 🙂
the "elevator music" to breakdown goes way harder than needed
They have the perfect synergy of metal, electronic, and pop and they execute it seamlessly.
One of the greatest bands of our generation.
I wish there was a grandma in the club. That would have been a huge call out. I hope I missed her.
The samba-down was actually my favorite part of the entire song. So freaking sick
They "Anything Can Be Metal'd" the samba :)
"I wanna dance and headbang at the same time" This feeling is what made me love EC the first time i heard them 🔥
“Whose kid is that?” 🤣
Not sure but it's wearing a Ratatata outfit lol
@@shakyshakums A metal baby......or babymetal....
Every reaction I’ve watched so far always says something about the baby at the end😂
@@stonefaction Holy F. It is a Babymetal :D
Literal Elevator Music brings you into the breakdown, its actually brilliant
Imagine going from a voice actor for a horse to playing the main character in a electric callboy video
Just when I think Electric Callboy couldn't elevate themselves any further, they release my favorite song and video of theirs to date. This is just INCREDIBLE.
ITS TIME
This guys are going to conquer the world, every song keeps getting better and better
when is EC gonna do a collab with Weird Al. Like it would BREAK the internet!
This needs to become a thing.
Heard Octane with you and Bad Wolves. That's a killer song. I love it
Nik not getting the literal elevator music is as hilarious as the video itself.
the actor in the video is Uke Bosse hes been in quite a bit german tv and movies
5:00 that's the baby from RATATATAT babymetal song
Kevin's screams in this song is insane, damn he is going bananas. 🤟
I'm older than you, total Blade meets Need for Speed II soundtrack vibe.
That funny pause with elevator scene during the breakdown reminded me of that song from Kim Dracula hahaha.
Kim Dracula mentioned 👏
4:45 I would say more KMFDM vibes than Rammstein, but the German Industrial riffs are there for sure. I suppose to clarify I feel the stumming pattern is more KMFDM, but the tone is prob more Rammstein. Love all 3 bands, but for me when I heard that part this is what I felt. Love the song.
Disagree. The sound engineering is very close to rammstein. Choice of amp and cab for example.
I also disagree. listen to Rammstein Herzeleid album, sounds very similar to this part of the song.
I can hear the KMFDM vibes though too.
Dude!!!!! This band was off my radar till I saw your video 4 hrs ago. Since then I've spun them nonstop. That includes this track on loop. Amazincredible. Thanks for bringing them to me@!!!!
I'm never taking the stairs again
I was waiting for the EC video but I was ALSO waiting for your reaction to it!!! So happy I didn't have to wait long!
The “elevator operator” is Uke Bosse, an actor and professor of game design at the University for media design in Berlin. Imagine your professor is part of an Electric Callboy video
I love electric callboy and sleep token cause they both incorporate multiple genres into the song while still being heavy
Bossa nova not samba 😂🤘🏽
As a Brasileiro, I approve of this message
Seeing these guys in London in November this year and I am SO FUCKING EXCITED.
i don't know don't why, but this most random dude in a a coat ( don't get me wrong, love him already) fits so well in this
everytime ECB releases something I go through all the different reaction vids of the bigger names. theyre so fun.
They're insanely good at making fun metal things. Creative, fun and talented 👏
I mean, this song has all my favorite music things. Great stuff!
I watched this first thing in the morning and it was so brilliant I loved it sm:D
Immediately a favorite, I'm already addicted to this song
Electric Callboy NEVER disappoint. Ever.
Even when their drummer gets sick and Frank fro Sum 41 has to take over without ANY rehearsals. They absolutely KILLED it Good Things here in Australia
When I say Electric Callboy makes the music I've been looking for for about 20 years now I mean it! This SLAPS!
It definitely makes sense. Elevator vibes with the song title;lyrics about going up and down; and then the stop for elevator music (or musak). This is perfect.
