00:00No poop, that's the only rule. Since I'm vegan I want my things to be separate.
00:05I'm really proud of this because I find a way to cook my own things.
00:09Everybody search for the right hole to put their things.
00:30Hey guys, who's there? Welcome!
00:47So hello everybody, I'm Giacomo Voli from Rhapsody of Fire and I'm welcoming you here in Joliet.
00:52We are here to play today at the Forge.
00:56So as you can see, this is the first part of the bus and this is a place of a driver, obviously,
01:02but this is also a place where everybody can feel safe and just dissociate from the others
01:10during the travel, you know, because you can see the road while we are driving, so at least
01:15you don't feel you have to puke.
01:19So welcome to the first hall, okay, that's the main point of the bus, the main area.
01:27This is Dan.
01:28Welcome.
01:29Hello, hello.
01:30Nice to meet you guys.
01:31Our tour manager and also take care about the merch.
01:36And so all the life here is in this area, basically because we have the kitchen, we have the TV,
01:44we have couches where you can die or be filmed, be filmed while you're dying and getting asleep,
01:53as yesterday.
01:54Okay, so basically with the TV, we can just see random things and so it depends on who's
02:02holding the other remote, the remote, yes.
02:07And so the power is in the hand of who holds the remote, so somehow it's horror movies because,
02:13you know, we have Kirsten that is so passionate with horror movies, so horror movies and then
02:22shows and concerts and live music concerts we see, so Journey and Def Leppard, we try to have
02:30a culture and maintain the culture.
02:32But it's just because Enforcer are on the bus too and so they really like to see old shows
02:40and concerts, so.
02:42This is the lunch, dinner, breakfast place, so in the morning it's a bit confusional somehow
02:50because everybody wants to sit here and eat properly without, you know, throwing everything
02:58in every place.
02:59So, yeah, this is the central point between the kitchen and the table, so.
03:06A lot of points where you can charge the phone, so obviously also this is a problem because
03:12everybody wants to charge everything in that point.
03:16But yes, we can do turns, so we all have a chance to sit here somehow.
03:24That is the kitchen, and so we have luckily a coffee machine.
03:29Everybody wants coffee on this bus.
03:31And, but, you have almost everything, so trash bin and everything, so.
03:39But, I bought this and I really, I'm really proud of this because I found a way to cook my
03:46own things, toasting them.
03:48I toast basically everything, so, really it was a good $20, really, and so, what do we have?
04:00Things.
04:01Everybody try to store them things in every hole you see.
04:05So, what I have to say is that everybody search for the right hole to put their things and
04:12somehow they, they write their names on things because we are used to steal everybody's things.
04:18So, we, we can see names on every single item and so, I have no name on this, but this corner
04:27is mine, so don't touch it.
04:29Don't watch it.
04:30Your work.
04:31Oh, if you touch, you die.
04:32Yeah, yeah, I can share, obviously.
04:33I have, so, fundamental things, so, tools, peanut butter, these kind of seeds.
04:46Everybody wants to eat my seeds.
04:50And then I have bread, because, you know, bread and stuff like that on the bus are really
04:55basic foods that everybody wants, so, this is mine.
04:59So, talking about the fridge is even worse, because the fridge is not that, you know,
05:04big.
05:05And so, that was supposed to be my space, but somebody stole it and put something in there,
05:10so I have to separate all my things, because since I'm vegan, I want my things to be separate
05:16and recognizable.
05:19And, that's it.
05:21So, every time it's so full that we cannot close it, at least we have the refrigerator
05:27that is almost empty, so I put my stuff there.
05:31Okay, so, welcome to the bathroom.
05:34Actually, it's the biggest I ever experienced on a tour bus, so, I'm really happy about this.
05:42So, no poop, that's the only rule, and you can't throw anything in the bathroom, so we have
05:49a separate bean, and it also is used also to wash dishes and everything, so, at least I
05:58used it to wash dishes.
06:01And, that's it.
06:03But, at least it's comfortable and nice.
06:06So, welcome, follow me to see the bunk.
06:11That's the bunk's region and place.
06:15So, here we have 12 bunks, as you can see.
06:19And, the funny thing is, immediately, because we are the, you know, headliners, so, we have
06:25this privilege to choose, immediately, our bunks.
06:30And, so, what I can say, usually people tend to, you know, think about if it's easy to
06:39have access in a certain bunk, or if it's easy for them to go, you know, in the lower.
06:45I choose the upper one, because every other bunks were chosen, so, I have no problem with
06:53the upper one.
06:54And, maybe, because there is also more space in the roof, so, at least I have a bit more
06:59space, compared with the others, that really looks like tombs.
07:04And, so, that's it.
07:06We have three more bunks, here, in the lounge area.
07:12So, it's a bit different, compared with other tour bus I've been.
07:18And, there is another TV, but nobody is using it.
07:22And, we have strange tools stored, here.
07:27And, basically, things that I bought.
07:31And, so, this is a kind of private space for the band, for Rhapsody of Fire, where we
07:37can do, you know, other works.
07:39And, everybody has to work with the computer.
07:42Or, where we stock things and items, for example.
07:48This, I use it during the shows.
07:51So, this is a place where nobody can touch it, except for me.
07:55Where you can put, I put my show clothes, for example, here.
08:02And, so, this is a more private space for us.
08:06And, where we can put things.
08:09So, thank you for checking out our bus.
08:11And, I hope you find it interesting.
08:14And, we'll see on tour, obviously.
08:17If you are coming on the next shows here in US and Canada.
08:21Or, at least, you can see us on socials.
08:24So, Facebook, Instagram, where you can find all the shows and the details.
08:29And, you can listen to our albums on Spotify, obviously.
08:33On YouTube, wherever.
08:34So, Challenge the Wind is the latest one.
08:36And, have a nice day.
