despite spending the last nearly 20 years loving every bit of these guys, i finally saw them about a month ago. they opened with part 1 and it awakened this part of me that had been long buried. these dudes still play with so much energy and accuracy it’s overwhelming - frankly the only other times i can recall feeling such a way was when my kids were born or at my wedding. thank you dudes so much for keeping it going and giving me the chance to finally witness this shit in person 🥹
It was funny at the Denver show they actually started with 4-5 other songs first...and then Thomas said "Oh I guess we should play what you showed up here for haha" Opening with Act One with Jesse Korman was a welcome surprise.
I still have a burned cd of this demo in a cd case that I have…very glad that these were uploaded onto here, the Phantom versions don’t do it for me, love the grittiness of these versions so much more.
So funny but this was the most important record of my youth. It still hits, better then the professional studio one that came after, arguably, as good as doppelgänger. The best of this sound of this generation
These are classics in my book. The youthful audacity of these recordings are incomparable. Tom was in his prime at 16 for better or worse, but at least its immortalized here on the internets.
Tom graduated high school in 2003, a year before this recording, so he was probably closer to 18 or 19 (apparently Wikipedia doesn't have his exact birthdate, which is a wild bit of information to have never come up publicly anywhere). Still insane that he was writing this kind of crazy shit that young.
I remember downloading this on limewire back in the day. tonight i'm seeing them play phantom on the horizon, which misses a lot of magic from this absolute masterpiece. Excited to hear their take on it live. This is easily in my top 10 albums of all time, thanks for the memories.
Oh he 100% did shred them. If you ever hear him live (especially nowadays) compared to any of the records his shrill screaming just is nowhere near the same as it once was.
Thomas is a warning to all unclean vocalists to learn proper vocal technique even if the sound isn’t exactly what you want in life. Because without it you’ll destroy your vocal chords.
After checking around online, I must have been mistaken. I'll have to check my archive later tonight to see what I have. If I have anything extra I'll be sure to come back and spread the word
IIRC ghostship has part 1 4 and 5 and then macaulay mcculkin. Macaulay mcculkin got put on doppelganger and then part 2 and 3 were added to POTH alongside rerecorded versions of parts 1 4 and 5
happy these demos are getting some recognition again. but ya this is the full Ghost ship demos ep. Phantom on the horizon has all of them. I believe their are no demos for parts 2 and 3 until POTH was released. could be wrong but from what i remember back in the day, their are no recordings of 2 and 3. If im wrong, send me the link for old versions of 2 and 3 haha

00:00 Ghostship Part I
06:53 Ghostship Part IV
12:40 Ghostship Part V

Part IV & V are reversed. Would be a nice change :3

That's what saying dude. they wrote compositions far and beyond.
This is probably really the best band. Surpassing everything right now
for years and years imo. This version is almost overwhelming with how great it is
Ghost ship 1 is one of the greatest songs ever, specifically and only this version. Listen w noise canceling headphones

Gracias amigo, por un flechazo recordé a esta banda y como amaba los ghostship en esa época,agradecido 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m so stoked I get to see them play this live in September
Where at? I’ll be at the ST Pete show
Sooo happy these are uploaded, i love the raw nature of this record compared to phantoms
Me as well
Part one's lyrics scared me as a kid lol. Man, I feel old. Thanks, FoT.
When this shit dropped on myspace my life was changed forever. Thanks for the upload!
Equal Visions just repressed the self titled and I realized I haven't listened to this in like 10+ years. Sick.
I'm drowning in her scent, The words you said heard DEEEADDDDDDD, to me, I'll get the last laugh you'll see
36 still jamming my favorite FOT album
IV and V are mislabeled.
im relatively high but i'm pretty sure 6:53 is part V and 12:40 is part IV
You’re totally right. IV and V are switched and I’m pretty high myself.
This demo should be:
Ghostship Part IV
Macaulay McCulkin
Part I
Part V
Does anyone remember the keys version? Had a piano playing. It was an instrumental. Can’t find that anywhere
You just gotta 👀 search old ghostship demos😮😅 👻
This is when we was kids when animals was graves this is what is left of the eyes of war ghost demos lit!
What in the shit did I just read
@@d0pp3lgang3r lol right
@@d0pp3lgang3r It made complete sense and was complete nonsense at the same time.
People prolly don’t even know bout ghostsship 😊
How did he not shred his vocal chords. Amazing demo tape
He did lol
yea he totally did
Oh he 100% did shred them. If you ever hear him live (especially nowadays) compared to any of the records his shrill screaming just is nowhere near the same as it once was.

Hey, aren't there supposed to be more parts to this EP? I could've sworn Ghostships had all part back in the day before the Phantom album came out

You guys are totally correct. If there are demos for the other parts then they have been lost to time, or never left the recording studio.
