This was genuinely one of the funniest bits of content I have seen in a while! Thanks for the laughs and have fun on tour..... with Electric Callboy!!!!! 😅
I found your channel about a month ago when you covered Falling in Reverse's show cancellations on their European tour and really loved how you were the only person doing a deep dive into why the shows were cancelled based on your knowledge from touring. You do some really great work on here and I immediately knew I was voting for you this year.
Oh bro there’s INSANELY good metal vtubers. Mana, Zephyr, Katie, they’re all amazing. Katie plays guitar and can growl like Alex Terrible, her cover of Viking is INSANE
Just voted, and of course EC and Tank got my votes where possible; folks that are that good at keeping this old veteran somewhat sane should get their flowers. That is all.
I think, I think Tank tours with Electric Callboy? 😂😂 In all seriousness whatever happens, you are awesome Tank. Don't forget that. Keep laughing and humour going!!
It's adorable to see Tank trying to be mean! Like a huggable teddy bear trying to look intimidating! Also, love how he couldn't even fake shit on Opal In Sky. It's physically impossible! Those dudes are too nice and wholesome!
Wooooooow, you work for Electric Callboy?! That's so sick, I totally NEVER heard about that! 3 times 2nd place, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO! Of course I voted for you the 3rd time in a row.
And for the 3rd year in a row I voted for you. We'll see what happens Friday. At least you work for Electric Callboy, right? Did I hear that correctly?
Even if you lose every time, there's pride in knowing that you're not only still in the game, but still relevant enough that people want you on the short list. I think that speaks volumes about you and your content.
😂😂😂 Just as funny the second time around, your giggles while trying to roast the nominees puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the rest of the trip, Tokyo looked like a good time and i’m sure Oz will be a good time also 🤘🏼
Dude has a son and a wife and people were starting to say weird shit about them... His only mistake was never cultivating a mature enough fanbase but thats nearly impossible to do with music nerds, especially metal nerds.
I consume a lot of music content. Probably way more than the average person. To be honest, I don’t know who OBKATIEKAT is either and I’m a day 1 Destiny player and have been involved with Metal since the 80’s. Never heard of Josh Rezz, Neo or Opal… and yeah, I can’t scroll two post without getting a Bernth ad on fb. And to be fair, the Sleep Token Drumeo full session was a 🔥 clinic.
For the 3rd year in a row, I voted for you. Tbh, Nik is the best, but you're the 2nd best. No other singular metalhead comes even close to the quality of content you guys put out. Out of the nominees, I've heard of you, Obkatiekat and Opal In Sky. Didn't know Obkatiekat did any metal-related content. Opal in Sky is a funny duo, but their music is basic AF.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Nic is going to love this video. As well as every other nominee. (To Tank you nailed you being on this 3 years in a row shows staying power and is far more important than with all due respect to Nic some bullshit award as awesome as it is)
No way, you’re the guy who works with Electric Callboy, I heard you guys must be doing Good Things this week. On the real though, can’t wait to see Electric Callboy in Brisbane this Sunday
Naaah This year, I feel Tank takes the win ! Dude's been here with awesome content covering not only the music but also more in depth stuff in the industry. having discussions in a more informative way instead of going full gossip/drama. To me this was awesome content and learned different things about the music industry.
Oh snap dude! You're coming down for the "Good Things" gigs with the fellas! That's pretty damned sweet, and this may not mean much from an absolute stranger (you may recognise my surname from within the metal media history books?) but more importantly, if you'd be up for it & somehow find a few mins anytime during the Melbourne gig I'd love to buy you a beverage of your choice as a small token of my appreciation for all of your work you've shared with us throughout the last few years. Well aware the chances are slim to 'F' all given your duties & this also the obstacle of myself not being on crew at all for the 1st time in decades, but it's always worth offering should the opportunity present itself. Either way, Cheers! Hope your travels to here are smooth & safe.
8:12 I know you're joking... but THANK YOU. I do not get the hype around him. He just plays fast, and the same shit everytime. Everyone with practice can do that. And yes, Im not a drummer, *I* can't do that.
I think the big thing is how transparent and outspoken he is. (I'm sure he's annoyed with how often he's had to prove his speed, and likely has had to lean into it a bit.) But to just come out and sternly tell his own followers to "practice more instead of finding shortcuts" without sugarcoating it, is SUPER refreshing to hear. That's just me though. Came for the drumming, stayed for the commentary
First video I saw of yours was you breaking down the Blue Ridge disaster. We actually went to the Toronto show that happened a couple days later. Amazing band, and amazing content on this channel. 👍
The way I went through the entire list of awards and nominees, not really knowing and/or liking most of the people up for awards, just so I could vote for Tank and Gaerea.
You're truly aaamazing Tank and literally I have Big LOL moments while watching your videos... I need that especially now cause of my Mom's passing. 💜🖤💜
dude I voted for you and not gonna lie here - I am 100% gonna be disappointed (insert hercules gif) if you lose again haha sooo stoked to hear you're working for EC, never knew that^^ all jokes aside, stoked for nova rock
I hope you give OBKatieKat a chance, some of her covers are great and she's a really fun personality. Her cover of Kingslayer with Futakuchi Mana & Zephyrianna is straight fire.
Oh well. Frosty dripping ice, you doing tour with...,who will guess that, Electric Callboy and I voted on 3 time Second Place Winner. What may can go wrong? That was a fun video. Have a great tour time.
For the record....i totally voted for you the other day when i went through all of the categories! And nik is killing it with these award shows! I hope i win one of those guitars, i had to sell everything except my Ibanez gio (pickups are fucked) and a boss katana mk2 amp, which...again, can't use it bc my pickups just SQUEAL! i wonder if i can wax dip them?
Opal in Sky, two twins that I seriously thought was one one dude for the longest time. I only know of them because they started showing up as sponsored ads on my Instagram. Anyone count how many times Tank said Electric Callboy in one video?
Funniest and most wholesome "villain" arc ever ha ha. This is cool, I didn't know this award show existed. A comment on the nomination post mentioned that you'd be a better nominee for the "Best Metal News" category. I agree, I come here for a lot of music news. I like your takes, news, and good vibes. 👌🏾👌🏾
2025 category: _TankTheTech of the Year Award_ Awarded to metal creators who are such a positive influence that they not only get nominated multiple times & _nearly_ win, but struggle to convincingly roast their fellow nominees even as joke. Minimum qualifying criteria: Must work for Electric Callboy. 🤘😎
NGL, I skipped most of the categories in this vote because I simply have _no idea_ who these people and bands are, despite having been a metalhead for almost 30 years now …
This is my favorite rant I’ve seen in a while. You got F’ed bro you should be winning MANY awards for your channel. Looks like politics is in the metal industry is alive and well. You’re a badass and my channel. Please never delete this video I’m loving the villain era. For the record I Prevail is so WEAK

It would be cool to see him take the top spot but even if he doesn't he definitely deserves all the leftover hors d'oeuvres
Also... Did you guys know that I work for Electric Callboy?
Is that a new brand of vibrators? 🤔😉
😂😂😂😂
No way 😮 really... (Said sarcastically)
Damn, I didn't know that. I'm absolutely in shock 😂 Have a great time on tour.
🤣🤣🤣
The Nic Nocturnal Awards needs a category for "Best Electric Callboy Employee Content Creator"
no joke but christain would probly win with his vlogs
That would give Tank a SOLID 25% win chance
Still really funny though

@@bradallard1542 Why is an Electric Callboy??
Congratulations on your third nomination. Have fun down under with Electric Cowbell 🤪
I didn't even know who a lot of those content creators were either. But my vote, no hesitation, went to Tank the Tech who works for Electric Callboy 🏆
Win or Lose your show is super bad-ass and your hosting vibe is way pro! AWWWRIGHT!!
You should get the award tbh
I feel like Tank should have worn as much Electric Callboy merch as he could for this.
Seriously, you have to show Nik some Hans Platz. He belongs on the list and you know it. 🙂
I can't believe you work for Energized Mallcop. They're my favorite band :D
Voted for you Tank! You're definitely my favorite and most viewed metal content creator 🤘
I found your channel about a month ago when you covered Falling in Reverse's show cancellations on their European tour and really loved how you were the only person doing a deep dive into why the shows were cancelled based on your knowledge from touring.

*Bury Tomorrow - Villain Arc starts playing*
Tank the villain is my new hero! Every video now needs a second pass as the villain!
Oh bro there’s INSANELY good metal vtubers. Mana, Zephyr, Katie, they’re all amazing. Katie plays guitar and can growl like Alex Terrible, her cover of Viking is INSANE
Just voted, and of course EC and Tank got my votes where possible; folks that are that good at keeping this old veteran somewhat sane should get their flowers. That is all.
What do you like about EC?
Salty Tank for the win!
How is your comment 5 days old and the video just came out today. Wtf
@@RealityWHAT He releases the videos early on his Patreon
I think, I think Tank tours with Electric Callboy? 😂😂
In all seriousness whatever happens, you are awesome Tank. Don't forget that.
Keep laughing and humour going!!
Okay, NGL, I did vote for you.... but I was sooooo close to voting for Opal In Sky. Love their stuff.
TankTheTech heel turn.
Voted for you! I have the last 3 years. Love you bud. Have fun on tour
People forget Ola Englund who is one of the OG's of music for RUclips. Why is he not on the list.
Salty Tank is my new favourite thing 🤣🤣🤣 I'm almost tempted to vote for someone else just so we can have more of this Villain Arc Tank
I voted for Frosty via a write in vote
I think you could have mentioned EC a couple more times 😂
It's adorable to see Tank trying to be mean! Like a huggable teddy bear trying to look intimidating!
Also, love how he couldn't even fake shit on Opal In Sky. It's physically impossible! Those dudes are too nice and wholesome!
Wooooooow, you work for Electric Callboy?! That's so sick, I totally NEVER heard about that!
3 times 2nd place, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!
Of course I voted for you the 3rd time in a row.
I voted for you, but only because I didn't noticed drumeo... No but for serious, you deserve it Tank! Had a lot of fun this year on your channel
And for the 3rd year in a row I voted for you. We'll see what happens Friday. At least you work for Electric Callboy, right? Did I hear that correctly?
Tank heel turn. Let's fucking gooooo!
Even if you lose every time, there's pride in knowing that you're not only still in the game, but still relevant enough that people want you on the short list. I think that speaks volumes about you and your content.
how tf is Stevie T not nominated for best metal content creator!?
"My Metal RUclips Villain Arc Starts NOW"
I mean, "Confrontational Metal OnlyFans" wasn't exactly on today's Bingo card, but I'm open minded, Tank.
😂😂😂 Just as funny the second time around, your giggles while trying to roast the nominees puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the rest of the trip, Tokyo looked like a good time and i’m sure Oz will be a good time also 🤘🏼
Oh damn Finn McKintey quit YT? That is probably the single best thing he has ever done in my opinion.
You took the words out of my mouth.
Dude has a son and a wife and people were starting to say weird shit about them... His only mistake was never cultivating a mature enough fanbase but thats nearly impossible to do with music nerds, especially metal nerds.
I consume a lot of music content. Probably way more than the average person.

Never heard of Josh Rezz, Neo or Opal… and yeah, I can’t scroll two post without getting a Bernth ad on fb.
And to be fair, the Sleep Token Drumeo full session was a 🔥 clinic.
You scroll facebook, i don't think vtubers and zoomer content creators are for you.
For the 3rd year in a row, I voted for you. Tbh, Nik is the best, but you're the 2nd best. No other singular metalhead comes even close to the quality of content you guys put out.

The WINNER for the Silliest, most Metal content on a channel...TANK THE TECH!
Can you set a garage door to open to "blegh!"? Did you?
in the log run consistency is king...
No way, you’re the guy who works with Electric Callboy, I heard you guys must be doing Good Things this week. On the real though, can’t wait to see Electric Callboy in Brisbane this Sunday

Either way,

Hope your travels to here are smooth & safe.
You've got my vote dude. I'm not a weird British lass, I'm a weird Scottish one. I'd like to make sure the distinction is made 😇😂

Missed opportunity not putting a counter in the video for, "How many times Tank says 'Electric Callboy'" LOL.
And of course we're all voting for you!

sooo stoked to hear you're working for EC, never knew that^^ all jokes aside, stoked for nova rock
You always get my vote because you give us some awesome behind the scenes perspective and no bullshit.
No shame in being the Susan Lucci of the Nik Nocturnal Awards!
I really think that some band should pick Tank to be a tour manager. You never know it may happen some day, and Tank could then go and see the world.
Obkatiekat probably taking it this year, she does solid covers and has the power of anime
I'm not sure, but somehow I have the feeling this guy is working for Electric Callboy
I hope you give OBKatieKat a chance, some of her covers are great and she's a really fun personality. Her cover of Kingslayer with Futakuchi Mana & Zephyrianna is straight fire.
Oh well. Frosty dripping ice, you doing tour with...,who will guess that, Electric Callboy and I voted on 3 time Second Place Winner. What may can go wrong?
That was a fun video. Have a great tour time.
Yes! Villian arc 🤘
Honesty you should definitely win imo. You're one of the cooler and more genuine ones. 🤘

Sorry Tank, I have to vote for my fellow Canadians. Opal in Sky is getting my vote.
Wait, who does Tank work for?
the official Castrop-Rauxel hairdryer club
Australia, I think he said. Hey Tank, please tell us which way the toilets swirl down under.
Why wasn't the charismatic voice nominated for any of the content? Seriously, the vocal research is really cool and important.
Funniest and most wholesome "villain" arc ever ha ha.
This is cool, I didn't know this award show existed.

Haven't watched yet, just read the title and it's about damn time. Not sure what we are villaining over but it's time to villain!
Please be the villain to Nick! Someone needs to illustrate comic book around this
I voted for you without hesitation !!!

Tank, you have a potential three-peat on your hands. Much better than winning only once.
THIS WORLD SHOW NOW METAL PAIN!!! 🌚
NGL, I skipped most of the categories in this vote because I simply have _no idea_ who these people and bands are, despite having been a metalhead for almost 30 years now …
If it's the only show hosted by Nik, then it's for sure true
Obkatiekat actually plays guitar and sings. I’ve randomly come across a couple of her vids and she’s pretty good.
I think nothing more Carnal was a banger that kind of slipped under the radar, at least in the youtube scene. That album was awesome.
Looking through all these nominations, I'm pretty sure I'm not even a casual metalhead anymore.
This is my favorite rant I’ve seen in a while. You got F’ed bro you should be winning MANY awards for your channel.

I already voted and didn't even notice drumeo was on there, I just saw Tank and clicked.
Ok, you bearded bastard, I went through that entire list just to vote for you. XD
You better win, dude.
