This is Simon from B.A.S.T.
Come in and see our bandwagon!
Right now we are on tour on the North American Blood Dynasty 2025 tour
with Arch Enemy, Fit for an Autopsy, B.A.S.T. and Thrown into Exile.
It's our first tour in North America, so it's a pretty rad package to be on.
The shows are cool. We are half way right now, so everything is awesome.
With this as our home, driving through the States, nothing could be better.
Should we check it out? We have a TV.
Right now it isn't turned on. We've actually not turned it on right now.
But maybe we still have a lot of time. We still have a couple of weeks.
Maybe we should watch some ******* national television from Denmark.
The thing we use most of all is the stereo.
We listen to a lot of music, a lot of different styles of music.
We threw a B.A.S.T. party yesterday, so obviously there was a lot of music on this one.
We cranked it up.
Here's some new fresh linen, if that's what it's called.
Obviously we have all what we need.
We hit a Walmart here and there.
We have all the sauces for sandwiches.
We've got Greek yogurt for the breakfast.
Of course a lot of Budweiser's.
And for the fine shmackers, here's some IPA.
We're Danish. We like good beer.
Lots of ice.
It's becoming spring and right now it's pretty hot, so we need ice.
Coffee.
So when the bus rolls, we still need our coffee.
Some duct tape.
State-of-the-art.
Gonna make it stay all the way.
Microwave for the dinger.
For the nachos and the cheese.
I remember you saw the cheese. There's a lot of cheese.
Coffee. Bread.
Peanut butter.
Oils. Granola.
Got everything.
Chip.
Recovery.
Stuff like that.
Spices.
Crisps.
Chips.
More beers!
Holy shoot!
Trash can. Nothing special in there.
The spices we use a lot for when we barbecue.
Lots of water and for the shoes.
So we had to turn off the generator at the moment.
Because who doesn't like a decent blackout?
Come on! Let's go!
Actually I bought a hat yesterday.
Oh yeah.
We have junk bunks.
Lots of them as well.
I think we have three junk bunks until now.
So we have five people.
So the rest of the bunks are for us.
Ours are quite simple.
But Sebastian's is like a suite.
So this is probably the best bunk in the bus.
And you have to chill with this.
I put it on another mattress.
So I'm like the princess on the pea.
And the reason why is because I actually picked the top one at first.
But then I realized that I've fallen out of these before.
And landed where nothing happened.
But I can feel like if this happens this time it could go wrong.
So this was actually free because we thought it was just like a sofa couch place.
It's actually a suite.
It's a suite.
For next time I will have my dips on this one.
But it's simple. It's got like outputs.
And it's got like AC.
It's got a simple light but it doesn't work.
Because the power is off.
And it's pretty comfortable.
Alright so I get to have this one down here on the left.
On the bottom.
And we figured out that that would be pretty smart.
Because just before the tour I broke this part of my foot.
Down here.
So the doctors are like you can't walk on it.
We were just like let's get you down in the bottom.
And I actually like the bottom ones as well.
And I'm perhaps the only one who has an entertainment machine with me.
I play the Nintendo Switch.
Because I love that ----.
Right now I play Witcher 3.
I revisit it because it's been a while since I played it.
It takes forever to go through.
It's perfect for the touring life.
Recommendation.
Single player RPGs.
What game did you play before Witcher 3?
I played Harry Potter.
Hogwarts Legacy it's called.
It wasn't as good as Witcher is though.
And Skyrim also.
You know where you can just spend 200 hours before you even get halfway through the game?
It's great for touring.
That's what we do at the Lone Drive.
Hell yeah.
Bathroom.
Let's check it out.
In here is the loo.
Smells a bit funky sometimes.
But it actually works.
And it flushes.
And here.
It's pretty narrow.
But it's cool.
Sink.
A bit of soap.
And here is also the water pump.
You turn it on, you turn it off.
Lights.
And we got the shower cabin.
There's warm water in it.
That's pretty important.
That's pretty neat.
And there's plenty of space in here.
So this is what you got.
So thanks for visiting.
And thanks for checking out our bus.
Hope you will follow.
