00:00And it's upside-down because it's a little bit more antichrist, you know
00:04I've never tried this one Ortega, but it seems like it's good for for Mexican food, porti
00:10Some really really bad tequila
00:48Who's knocking, oh hey, it's digital tour bus, come on in
00:52Hi, I'm Niklas from Caratonia, I play bass
00:54We're now on the last Will and Testament tour together with Opeth, supporting them, our fellow Swede friends
01:01And we're here to support our new album Nightmares Extensions of the Waking State
01:08It's hard to say even for me, I've said it many times, but it's just a tongue twister
01:12Alright, so you might have seen me before, it was 14 years ago I think
01:16And now it's an updated version, updated myself with some beard
01:21And cut my hair off, so I pretty much cut my hair off and put it on here instead
01:26So, let's do this
01:28Alright, so we have a TV here, it's 80 inch I believe
01:32No, I'm just kidding, it's like, yeah, it's a standard TV
01:35We watch some movies, I think this morning there were some guys watching
01:40Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russell
01:42Great movie, classic
01:44Might be some Olympics as well
01:46But other than that, we might put some, you know, Swedish movies on
01:50Just to, you know, connect with our roots
01:54Being here, it's not all about meatballs and Kalle's Caviar
01:59The fish toothpaste that we put on our sandwiches
02:03We like to watch some Swedish movies as well
02:06Alright, so here you see the, you know, all the controls for the mothership
02:11That we need to have a successful tour
02:15Here's our lovely tour manager, Vicky
02:18All the necessities that she needs to, you know, make things run
02:22And make things work on a day-to-day basis
02:25So we have a printer for the settlers
02:27And all the things, all the magic and all the works that she does
02:30That keeps us floating, pretty much, you know, on a daily basis
02:35So here we have our kitchen
02:37And it's fully equipped with some freshly bought hot sauces
02:41I've never tried this one, Ortega
02:44But it seems like it's good for Mexican food, which we really like
02:48We eat tacos almost on a daily basis
02:51Like this very authentic taco place, Taco Bell
02:56We bought this today
02:57We had it on, what is it?
03:00Crunchwrap Supreme or something
03:02I think that's probably as far from authentic Mexican food as you can come
03:08But we like it
03:09And also I found this
03:11It's one of my favorite YouTube shows
03:13Hot ones
03:15And, yeah
03:17And also some...
03:20Tortilla
03:20Some really bad, really bad and basic low budget tequila
03:27I think I scored it for like 20 bucks in Pittsburgh
03:30Which I think is a steal
03:32It does the trick
03:33We had a few margaritas done with that
03:36With a cheap margarita mixer as well
03:39Because we're pretty basic guys
03:41We like that sort of stuff, you know
03:45And here's our beloved coffee maker
03:49We're out of capsules at the moment
03:52So we're gonna go and purchase some of those
03:55Because we are from Sweden
03:57And we're one of the nations that drinks most coffee in the world
04:00I guess
04:00So we need those kind of things to survive
04:04This is important
04:05Something that I always buy when I'm on a US run
04:08Because I love mac and cheese
04:11It's...
04:13It's these kind of bad boys
04:16Swift Mac
04:17I tried one earlier today as you can see
04:20So I was fully satisfied within 10 minutes
04:24And we have the craft dinner as well
04:27Which is the, I guess, original
04:29The one that Annihilator is singing about
04:31And playing about, you know
04:34And, yeah
04:35We have the fridges
04:38A little bit hard to open
04:40We have these kind of things
04:42Just to keep our stomachs in check everyday
04:44You know, some probiotic stuff
04:49Bought this
04:49I think it's a sports drink from the States
04:53Something that keeps you going
04:55And all the, like, necessities
04:57Some, some milk and some
04:59Oh yeah
05:00This is also something that we enjoy on a daily basis
05:04It's cocoa water
05:05Like coconut water
05:07And we do all believe it smells
05:10And tastes a little bit like stale cornflakes
05:13Which is fantastic
05:15Who doesn't love that, you know
05:16Keeps us in check
05:17And keeps us rejuvenated
05:19And hydrated
05:20Very, very important
05:22And here's fridge number two
05:24Maybe a little bit more exciting
05:26We have some
05:28Some lager beer
05:30We have some sparkling wine
05:33Most often
05:35But, but I think I had it all yesterday
05:37I'm a naughty boy
05:38And
05:40And here we have some
05:42Yogurt
05:43It's for Henrik
05:44Who fills in for Nico
05:45On this run
05:46Because he couldn't make it
05:47And he loves yogurt
05:49With misli
05:50That's his jam
05:51So the rider
05:52Of course we have
05:53Water on the rider
05:55Which is a little bit boring
05:56But a necessity
05:58We have the yogurt
05:59We have misli
06:00We have
06:01We have the coconut water
06:03That I showed
06:05And
06:05What more
06:07Yeah
06:07The probiotics
06:09Beer
06:10Sparkling
06:11Sparkling wine
06:12Red wine
06:13White wine
06:14All that
06:15Kind of
06:15Fun stuff
06:16So all the
06:18All the things
06:18That you need
06:19For a
06:20Daily success
06:21On the tour
06:22Alright
06:23So last but not least
06:24Here's the bathroom
06:26In the front lounge
06:27The glorious place
06:29Where we all relieve ourselves
06:31Hey
06:32Hey
06:32Hey
06:33Hey
06:33Oh
06:35Who the hell is that
06:36Oh
06:37Weird
06:38It happens sometimes
06:39Alright here it is
06:40As you can see
06:42We have a shower
06:43There's mostly storage for
06:46Merch
06:47I think
06:47Beer
06:48And
06:49More water
06:50The bathroom rule is
06:51That if you have
06:52Five hundred dollars to spare
06:54You can shit as much as you want
06:55But we don't
06:56So
06:56We stay away from that shit
06:58You know
06:59No shitting on the toilet
07:01Only pee pee
07:02Alright
07:02So I showed you the front lounge now
07:04So let's head back in
07:06And go through the bunk area
07:16Since there's quite some flat talents
07:19On a tour bus
07:20We hang this one
07:21And it's upside down
07:23Because it's a little bit more
07:24Antichrist
07:26You know
07:26So twelve bunks
07:27In total
07:28We kind of have a junk bunk
07:30It's a little bit like
07:31Split between the driver
07:33And just putting a few items up there
07:36But usually we try to find
07:38You know
07:39Our small crevices everywhere on the bus
07:41For our private stuff
07:43So we can keep the beds
07:46You know
07:46Free of items
07:47And all that stuff
07:48I can show you how a bunk looks like
07:50It's my bunk
07:51Because of private reasons
07:52Because no one else is in there
07:54You know
07:56So this is how it looks like
07:59Hey!
08:00No!
08:01No!
08:02Not even my bunk
08:04Who the hell
08:05Who the hell is it doing?
08:06Again
08:06Twin brother
08:08Whoa
08:09Damn
08:09Right so this is my domain
08:11We have some crucial stuff
08:13Like earplugs
08:15Because it can get a bit loud
08:16And it keeps me sleeping
08:18And also some
08:20Melatonin
08:21Gummies
08:22Strawberry flavor
08:23Because
08:24That's a nice flavor
08:26I like it in jam as well
08:28And
08:30Some of these
08:31Not really necessary
08:33Because I don't have much hair
08:35But sometimes I like to
08:36You know
08:37Keep it up in a man bun
08:39To look douchey
08:40I guess
08:41And
08:43Some Marshall
08:44Like
08:46Noise canceling
08:47Headphones
08:48It's good
08:48When you
08:49Want to just relax
08:50After a long day
08:52So that's
08:53That's pretty much it
08:54So that's
08:55My little
08:56My little
08:57Private space
08:58On this run
08:59Alright
09:00So this is the bunk area
09:02We've finished that part
09:03So let's go into the back lounge
09:12So here's some couch spaces
09:15There's a telephone there
09:17If you want to call the driver
09:19Because he's really nice
09:20He's really nice
09:21He always enjoys talking with us
09:23Can't get enough of that
09:25So
09:25And here's
09:27Oh
09:28You again
09:30How did he get in
09:31Hey
09:34Always like this
09:35When we film for
09:36Digital tour bus
09:37Isn't it
09:38Yeah
09:39Just
09:41Some more
09:42Seating area
09:42We usually sit here
09:43After the shows
09:45When we come back
09:46To the bus
09:47Just to chill
09:48And
09:49Yeah
09:50Just hang out
09:51Talk stuff
09:52You know
09:53Both the band and the crew
09:54Because we
09:55We like to hang out
09:56With each other
09:57And
09:57Yeah
09:58So like the major difference
09:59Between this and the front lounge
10:01Is that
10:01Maybe like
10:02We in the band
10:03We use this a little bit more
10:04Than
10:05Than the crew
10:05But we do mix
10:07All the time
10:08You know
10:09And
10:10And yeah
10:11There's no like
10:12No real like
10:14Important business
10:15Going on in here
10:16It's just about leisure
10:17And you know
10:18Taking it easy
10:19After the shows
10:20We have some hanging area
10:21Here
10:22I can show you mine
10:23It's very
10:25Nothing to see really
10:26But
10:27We have some
10:28We have a coat here
10:29But I just chugged in
10:31Because I'm lazy
10:32You have my camera gear here
10:34Which I
10:35Haven't really gotten out
10:36To film yet
10:37But
10:38Soon I will
10:39And
10:40Yeah
10:41We've got another TV
10:43Here
10:44Which conveniently
10:45Has some
10:46HDMI
10:46So we can
10:47We can plug it
10:49Into our laptops
10:50And
10:51And
10:52Watch movies
10:52That way
