The fact that they still do change it up and do straight serious songs that are bangers as well, just tells ya that they definitely got it figured out!!🤘🤘
For anyone complaining about the songs having the same formula….do you know how hard it it to keep writing these metal dance monsters? To come up with a great tune once is hard, to keep coming up with a great tune song after song…..if only other bands were talented enough to do this we’d be very lucky
i was lucky enough to be right near the front for their set at Download Festival and i can’t lie… it was one of the best shows i have ever been to (and i’ve seen hundreds of bands). it was just pure joy and awesomeness from even before they started during their crew setup to the very end.
I was right at the back at Download because I made the mistake of watching the whole Parkway Drive set in the hope they'd play something good - literally stood next to some toilets and it was still the best show of the day, hands down.
the song was originally meant to be on their tekkno album but they couldn't make it happen and decided to wait and release it in summer as a stand-alone single. there definitely is a formula but i've seen musicians break down their songs and they're actually more complex than you'd think, the complexity just gets buried under all the party fun. every choice they make is purposeful and thought out. besides, how many bands out there have had the same formula for decades and are still good? EC found the style they are great at and people love and enjoy and i couldn't be happier.
Everyone band has a formula. It’s good to have a distinct sound. Lorna Shore has a formula Slayer has a formula Sleep Token has a formula Metalcore/Deathcore are very formulaic and it’s fine. Intro, heavy part, clean chorus, heavy part, clean chorus, breakdown, done. Every modern day metal track
You forgot that most bands tend to either end with a final clean (or a blended chorus with both screams and cleans). Each band has a slightly different formula, each individual formula works for each individual band
Great reaction, you guys. I think this song is an ode to Keven and Nico's bromance and I love it. Also, this is gonna be the summer hit of 2023 in Europe and the rest of the world where there's currently summer
@@nathandjohnny She's one of the their make-up artists. She also played the role of 'The Conductor' in the 'Tekkno train' video. She works with Kami Zero doing make-up and sculpture work. I was thinking that it must be col for them to have a very attractive, statuesque woman on hand if they ever need one for the video. Actually, I think that hot goth chick from the 'We Got The Moves' video also works for Kami. I'm sure I've seen her in a behind the scenes video.
German sayings in that vein: "Not the brightest candle on the cake" (Nicht die hellste Kerze auf der Torte) "Not the brightest light on the christmas Tree" (Nicht das hellste Licht am Weihnachtsbaum) "Lights are on but nobody's home" (Licht ist an, aber niemand ist zuhause) Great reaction, much love
I clicked on this video because I saw the thumbnail thinking it was the music video or something (got baited lmao) and then was pleasantly surprised to see both your faces
Linkin Park's first two albums were the epitome of formulaic for most of their songs, but that doesn't mean they were bad. I think a band generating their own flow and formula is actually a healthy thing so long as they they can continue to innovate and keep it interesting.
Most bands have a consistent formula and sound that they refine over time, and Electric Callboy is no exception. That's how bands build followings to begin with. Even more progressive and experimental bands tend to have common threads throughout their music that helps form the basis of their identity as a group. It's kind of a silly thing to complain about. I think what makes Electric Callboy such an easy target for those complaints is the fact that they've released so much music in such a short time, and they've gotten massive amounts of attention for it. Since Hypa Hypa, they've had nearly a dozen videos blow up like that, and that's kind of insane for a three year period. They're never not in the conversation. It's still silly to complain about, but kind of expected.
I've seen them live in Paris in April + at Hellfest 2023 and it was ME(N)TAL !! Nico and Kevin are absolutely underrated, especially Nico that has the exact same high voice live than in a CD or radio version. Recently, only Motionless in White, The Amity Affliction and Hollywood Undead (yeah surprising) have blasted me with their "real" voices. Electric Callboy found or invented their own style and crowd was always 100% crazy during their show. Just look at We got the Moves video and you will understand what I mean
It was frenetically good!!! I don't know when they had time for it? They recently finished their European tour. They are currently performing at summer festivals. Nico recently released a track with Samurai Pizza Cat (not bad either) and then made everyone's hearts skip a beat with Kalle, a retro style song called Meine Buffalos. In the meantime, the guitarist also wrote the hit song "Rentnersong" for Kalle, and a video was shot for both. I admire them and love their always cheerful and positive attitude!!! I hope they will "entertain" us for a long time and not burn out!!!
This is refreshing in a weird way. Too many people say that metal has no variety. These guys prove that wrong on every level. Funniest video I’ve seen in a while
Are you going to see them when they're in Oz again? I am in Melbourne & I missed out on the forum so I was sad but planning to try to find tix closer to the day. But I checked & they're now playing in the same venue Jane's Addiction & Smashing Pumpkins played (and Amyl & the Sniffers- I love them) so it will be good to dance about cos that is a great venue to space out a bit, even when sold out
@@nathandjohnny hell yeah! I'm so happy for them that they've sold out so many shows here. Roll on November hey. Ugh it's going to be so hot & disgusting but oh well, plenty of hydration & a whole lot of dancing will be the go.
Awesome reaction to be honest with you I’m not a huge electric callboy fan but I respect them I know this song by casacda she’s from Germany 🇩🇪 they play this song at duke university in North Carolina United States 🇺🇸 nice shirt Johnny of slowly slowly.
The song/video that's a perfect representation of how I imagine both of your guys' relationship with each other. LMAO. Great video boys...made me laugh well.
I think Nico and Kevin are reinventing Bromance, so to say, romance 2.0 XD . 08:30 I don't think the guys care what other people think of their songwriting
If johnny wants to plug the merch, let him. Don't aggressively cut him off and insist that people go to Patreon. It's one thing to ask, or to plug and another to push it that way. Like and subscribe still builds the audience base, larger audience means more people exposed to the patreon. I'm sorry but the tone taken in that segment bordered on aggresive. Nathan is right here. I enjoy your channel and don't make or feel entitled to requests etc I'm just happy to consume what you put out there. Lots of people do. There are multiple ways to support and Patreon is simply the one that helps the most...
Seen the Electric Callboy video yesterday and said the same thing as Johnny about Nico and Kevin still snapping 😂😂😂 same wave length! Also yes, Kevin has amazing legs and feet ❤
The song "I'm Going Slightly Mad" by Queen has some classics in it - 'one wave short of a shipwreck', 'knitting with only one needle', etc. :) Great reaction, guys! Love Electric Callboy!
Most songs follow a pattern... Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Final Chorus (maybe slightly changed), Outtro. EC just adds in Screamo verses too. Always confuses me when people have a problem with the order of a song. If it sounds good - then dig it.
Legs and feet I don’t think are Kevin’s. In the behind the scenes footage it looks like they used a woman in the bed (though the tattoos could be Kevin’s and maybe they painted them on her feet?) and then they put Kevin in her place for his part. I love Electric Callboy. A lot of it is a great mix Of more poppy electronic and metalcore but their music does vary on what song you’re listening to. They’re really talented musicians and I’m so happy to get to listen to them!
Mindreader is not so much a party song though but I think you guys bring up some good points about electric callboy if you just listen to the popular songs you'd think they were just a party band but they really are talented you should react to prism acoustic with nico if you didn't already they truly are extremely talented individuals
both nico and kevin has epic facial hair nico also has such a sweet voice in comparison to kevin's more gutteral voice yeh kevin does has great legs and love their bromance(l totally ship them) and the dance sequence in the hall the castle also be castle rothestein in germany
few fries short of a happy meal a sandwich short of a picnic sharp as a marble fell from the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down just some
People's pure aversion to bands having a formula and not constantly changing their sound is weird. Experimentation is cool, it helps advance music as a whole, but I don't understand why people can't just go listen to other bands if they're tired of a specific sound. If the formula works, why would you stop? It's not like they're putting out conveyor belt songs like they just came of the xerox, thats just their style.
@toddlerwithagun989 "you need to it seems" stop acting like you know me when you couldn't even comprehend my comment. When, in that entire comment, did I say experimentation doesn't succeed
Is it not great, that Metalheads, can finally let out their inner boy-band-fan, and embrace pure Bromance
8:35 There definitely is the "Electric Callboy Formula" but let's be honest: It works. It's freaking fantastic. Who would even want them to change it?
I keep thinking I should be getting tired of the formula, But I don't.
The fact that they still do change it up and do straight serious songs that are bangers as well, just tells ya that they definitely got it figured out!!🤘🤘
"Formular"? Meaning?
Not I
yeah absolutely no way youd want them to change it. electric callboy is always fun and i never want it to change
For anyone complaining about the songs having the same formula….do you know how hard it it to keep writing these metal dance monsters? To come up with a great tune once is hard, to keep coming up with a great tune song after song…..if only other bands were talented enough to do this we’d be very lucky
The irony is, if they would change it people would complain that they abandoned their style...
If EC have the "same formula" as someone wrote, what about AC/DC or Iron Maiden? I reckon people don't know what they're talking about.
King Gizzard says hello
i was lucky enough to be right near the front for their set at Download Festival and i can’t lie… it was one of the best shows i have ever been to (and i’ve seen hundreds of bands). it was just pure joy and awesomeness from even before they started during their crew setup to the very end.
i agree.. it's refreshing to see a full party going on instead of the "true metal" stuff only.

Love how johnny saw kevins feet and immediately went "yeah thats kevin in that bed" i wanna know what hes been up to 😂
I don't know why I laugh so badly at the breakdown slide entrance from Kevin and Nico but I do

Kevin had a foot double!

Yes. It's Mirjam Piuk aka tingilya.cosplay.

Great reaction. Thanks for sharing! ❤🔥Of note: German popular saying: "One crate of beer - 2 people: That's only enough if one is not drinkin'!"
No problem 😊
Great review. Love Electric Callboy, can't wait to see them in October. I'd love an album of dance covers by them, would be so much fun.
It was frenetically good!!! I don't know when they had time for it? They recently finished their European tour. They are currently performing at summer festivals.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work guys
Great to see Aussie reactors represent lol
Glad you enjoyed
They played it on Friday at Full Force Festival - some videos already on utube and i was in that crowd :D
#BromanceCastleCore 🤘🤘🤘
I tend to combine them, and go "not the sharpest crayon in the box"
Evolution! I like it
The couple's nose ring is really cute, you two.
Aww thaaaanks
Hope to see you boys at there show.
Really looking forward to there show.
I missed ya at knotfest.
We’ll be there!

Gotta add "a few sandwiches short of a picnic" to your repertoire
🤣
One frog short of a box 😂
Haha that’s a new one
My favorite is "Not the brightest crayon in the toolshed", just because of how off it is.
Hahahaha
A lot of the great bands have a formula that they stick to. It worked for AC/DC. You don’t hear many people question that??
😎🤘
Brb…need to watch Cascada.
As for sayings I like "a few fries short of a Happy Meal"
I like that haha
I think I must be the only person who had never heard any version of this song before

Few biscuits short of a packet
🤣👏🏼
These guys make me want to dance… I can’t dance so sorry to everyone around me 😂
We need a covers album asap
Easily the most fun band of all time, and it ain’t even close. I need 40 more years of bangers from them!!
❤🦄❤
They just realeased the Making of-Video. Watch it and you will know whose legs these are 🤭
I just want Electric Callboy to do a song with Andrew W.K for the ultimate party metal song.
I remember when the original song came out s*** was played on the radio all the time
Few sandwiches short of a picnic or a screw loose is what we say in the uk
Love it!
It's actually a TEKKNO and not a Techno version! You can hear and see elements from Tekkno Train, Spaceman, Hypa Hypa, Neon and so on :)
A few chugs short of a breakdown
Oh niiiiice
few fries short of a happy meal
a sandwich short of a picnic
sharp as a marble
fell from the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down

Bmth experimented with this and succeeded, adtr, wcar, silverstein. They've all stepped out of their space, you need to it seems.

No BMTH?
A few a**holes short of a marching band. This is great because you can use it to describe a single person or a group of people.
Haha well that’s a new one
A few bricks short of a load
Nice
A few sandwiches short of a picnic

A few cards short of a deck
Hey guys. Where is BMTH reaction? I looking for it everyday. 😔
They’re waiting for the film clip, which comes out today.
What they said ☝🏽
As much use as a waterproof tea bag
😅
🤣🤣🤣
In the behind the scenes, they have a woman in the bed initially, then they swap out for Kevin with a cut.
Apparently the legs belong to a female cosplayer they know.
Can I just say what an absolute fucking travesty it is that Electric Callboy didn't get to represent Germany at Eurovision when they entered last year
Judging by their fan base and show size/attendance, I’d say they don’t need it
