Ghost has a really great sense of humor in a lot of their songs, interviews, and stage presence. It’s all very campy, and I love it. Great video as always guys 🤘
Ghost has a thing for being incredibly catchy, if yall ever decide to revisit them again, I'd recommend Square Hammer, that song is the essence of catchy
@@ZeeboonInc I'd like to see them get into some synth wave/ pop type stuff like Carpenter Brut, Gunship, The Midnight, Lazerhawk, etc...so many great songs out there and it's a genre they haven't reacted to yet.
Yeah, just watched their latest MetallicA reaction on Sanitarium and I was kinda wondering if they ever did Ghost. Surprised that He Is was not among their reactions, they'd love it to bits. They should defo react to He Is, it is such a catchy song, I just wished it was their first Ghost vid to see their amazement.
Rod Boudreau huh? AC was one of the biggest rock bands in the US from 1971-1973. Then when Cooper went solo he had a pretty successful solo career for a few years with a string of (frankly sappy) ballads (You and I, Only Women Bleed, etc) not to mention appearing on The Muppets and Hollywood Squares (not his proudest moment. Ha!) around the same time. No to also mention his comeback around the late 80s/early 90 which resulted in more hit records and apperances in Wayne's World etc. In other words, not sure why you'd imply ol' AC needed 30 years to get "accepted". If anything by his 30th year he was way past his "popular" prime. (For the record, don't take this response too serious; I'm not some raving, humourless fan but I am an AC fan and felt you saying it took him "30 years" (!) to accepted was a bit off the mark and had to add my two pesos)
Sweden has so many good bands. Bands with new albums out this year: Soilwork, Corroded, Evergrey, Arch Enemy, Candlemass, In Flames, Backyard Babies, and Amon Amarth. Many more coming including one of my favorites Sabaton.
"Year Zero" is just a place in an ongoing story they were telling over their first 3 albums. Year Zero is the end of the world when the Anti Christ has won and is ascending the throne of man on Earth. It's just following the story of the Anti Christ that Ghost established on their first album with 'Ritual'; which was his conception. 'Genesis' was his birth. 'Year Zero' is his victory over man before God ultimately returns to destroy him and bring Judgement to Earth in the song 'Bible' on the next album. It's just a song charting his life's mission amongst humanity before God destroys him in the end.
I saw Ghost live last december when they played in Stockholm on their latest tour, This song was one of the highlights of the night, just hearing the 14k strong crowd chanting along was amazing!
The burger was from Kuma's Korner which is a heavy metal themed restaurant and bar in Chicago. When you all are here go check it out. They have a Slayer,Metallica and Iron Maiden burgers.
Generally Awesome I have to disagree. The mixes are mostly wonderful on the majority of Ghost albums. However I think your gripe may be the mastering that is enclosed. Bad mastering destroys a good mix. Now I will say outright that the mastering on Ghost CDS is absolutely garbage. Maybe that’s where we both have the problem. ;)
I fell in love with Ghost’s bassist when I heard their song “Majesty.” You can come on stage wearing whatever you want and singing whatever you want if you have a badass band to sell it.
Just like Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper before them, it's all for the shock value. Great band, music. Their newest Album has more " POP" appeal but still great.
Got into Ghost after your review of Cirice. I was blown away so much more than you guys were. Since then I have bought all their albums and went to their concert. It's funny the power of reaction channels have even if the reactions aren't overly positive
Those names in the beginning are all different names of "the devil" in different cultures. Belial, Behemoth, Beezlebub. Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer. Also, you are correct about the "welcoming of Year Zero". The first album, Opus Eponymous, is more about the existence of the devil. The second album (Year Zero is from this album), Infestissumam, is about the rise of the devil. The third album, (the other song you did, Cirice, is from this album) is about the devil being in command and ruling the world we live in. If you want a really good and solid album play through, give Meliora a go. Such an amazing album, there are ONLY good songs on it.
@@The716_ That's reeeaaally overselling Fear Factory's influence. In fact, I can't think of a single band LiV have covered that might have been influenced by them.
@@jesselewis7347 gweedo weedo or manhattan project are the 2 best choices on the first album. traffic would be a good first song introduction to the band. fortyeight and monte gargano also 2 other top choices from truck
Year Zero is great. Square Hammer is my favorite of theirs, though, and probably their best! Although, I do have to say that Ghost's first album had much more of the kind of cheesy 70's-inspired music and story themes I really love this band for. I'd love to see you guys do either Square Hammer or Ritual.
You and TwoToeTags have the best format for this kind of show. Well done! Edit: Tobias said in an interview (maskless) that he was a huge fan of black metal growing up, as well as the whole mystique of Satan in society. He isn't a Satanist, or religious, but he digs the vibe. He's always wore upside down crosses and pentagrams because it's just badass. I'm the same way, haha.
The performance they give for this song is goddamn intense... And while Ghost might actually be satanists, they definitely aren't devil worshippers, that whole shtick is just for a good show.
In the Little Punks video interview, one of the band members responds to the question if they believe in God and Lucifer and he said that they are atheists, but it would be awesome if they were real.
They have videos here on YT ! With Papa, and yelling a story behind Ghost. They are brilliant! Their Musicianship is Amazing! This is my go to music and has been for a good while! Of course I raised my kids on Slayer, Metallica, and all kids of metal. My oldest son's 1st concert was Ted Nugent and KISS!
Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub , Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer! Good song to pick, it's one of their older ones. Most people would probably want one of the ones off their new album
I'm 47 me and my son love Ghost. Got all the albums, took him to a concert...it was awesome! I have to check if you guys did Dance Macabre, Rats and Square Hammer some other really great songs. Thank you for a great video guys
yes, their whole satan worshiping theme is mainly a gimmick for entertainment also you guys might like "from the pinnacle to the pit" from them, the bass line and transitions are sick
Get to some melodic death metal already! Arch Enemy - My Apocalypse Soilwork - Weapon of Vanity Scar Symmetry - Timewave Zero In Flames - Take This Life Solution .45 - For Aeons Past Dark Tranquillity- Nothing to No One Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet Disarmonia Mundi - Quicksand Symmetry That should get you started pretty well 👍👌🤘
Ghost - Dance Macabre.
People: You can't mix Disco, Metal and Satan in one song
Ghost: Hold my beer
Yes yes absolution.. excuse me absolutely!
Hold my holy water
hold my grucifix
JUST WANNA BE, WANNA BE WIT' CHUUUU, ALLLLL NIGHT!
Metal? Did we watch the same video?
Nothing better than seeing them live and yelling "Hail Satan!" at the top of your lungs with thousands of people.
And it's not even "hail Satan" but rather "Hell Satan".
YES! I finally got to experience that myself back in September!
This was my favourite of the songs when watching live the flames blasting heat across you and everyone singing it together is such an fun experience
I REALLY need to see them live
@@GreenLioness16 it's even better when you take your mother with you
Ghost has a really great sense of humor in a lot of their songs, interviews, and stage presence. It’s all very campy, and I love it. Great video as always guys 🤘
When the vocalist was asking if our taints were tickled after a song, that's when I knew they were very tongue in cheek, and I loved it.
@@Psychokitten67 Just seen them in Penticton Saturday night and he did the same thing, loved every minute of it!
As much as this song is catchy and I like it. I saw them live when this came on. There was such a strong presence. I had to leave
Ghost has a thing for being incredibly catchy, if yall ever decide to revisit them again, I'd recommend Square Hammer, that song is the essence of catchy
Dance Macabre, too
and Rats
Square hammer is the song that broke these guys into the mainstream... Give it a shot anyone who hasn't heard it... Good innocent fun..
Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to stand right here right now!
Before The Devil !!
No it was Meliora
Espacially He is and Cirice
Do Square Hammer and From the Pinnacle to the Pit!
Pit for sure, Square Hammer is great too but Pit is just harder.
No Rats ???
@@opticFPV You just dont know.
@@moetop Rats too!
@@solis44 Mummy Dust and Faith are hard af too!
5:25 "It's catchy as hell, I never thought this would happen..." Yeap, Ghost
You guys should react to either “Square Hammer” or “From the Pinnacle to the Pit” for your next Ghost song.
I forgot about Square Hammer!!! That'd be a good one for sure!
Definitely Pinnacle!
Pinnacle to the pit is fuckin epic
Mummy Dust too
@@savagepug mummy dust is sick
Enjoyed this video. I liked how you guys talked about their backstory a bit before reacting. Cheers from a Ghost fan. :)
Ghosts newest single "Dance Macabre" is extremely catchy and poppy
It's so damn catchy! My wife hates Ghost but if I just sing the first 3 words of that chorus, she'll have it stuck in her head all day.
I wanna pee with shoes in the moonlight...
@@deesnutz4638 who doesn't?
They need to hear Carpenter Brut's remix of that song as well, it's even better than the original imo.
@@ZeeboonInc I'd like to see them get into some synth wave/ pop type stuff like Carpenter Brut, Gunship, The Midnight, Lazerhawk, etc...so many great songs out there and it's a genre they haven't reacted to yet.
They have a lot of other good songs, but i REALLY like "He Is"
Its quite pretty, especially given the subject matter. Also, the music video is awesome
tarin indell well said my son
@@thedefiant6244 Their best song, hands down.

From the pinnacle to the pit, with its quick and beautiful transition would of been perfect for you guys!
I get chills and goosebumps hearing that chorus!! Awesome tune and awesome band. Gotta review more by them.
Seriously you guys need to see them live. One of the only bands i think are better live than on the record
Saw them tonight opening for Metallica, they were brilliant.
You have some shit taste, Utd, Metallica and Ghost, ffs, smdh

It took 30yrs for Alice Cooper to be accepted but it took Ghost 3yrs. Love Ghost. Tobias is a genius.

Always been a hot bed of hard rock and metal.
@@jml4103 Sweden Rock is on my bucket list
I saw Sabaton open for Nightwish back in 2015, and really enjoyed them. Great sense of humor about themselves.
Opeth, Katatonia, At The Gates, Dark Tranquility as well!
As far as I'm concerned, In Flames stopped putting out albums after Soundtrack to Your Escape

@@newrev9er No it is the right interpretation. Do your research.
Bible is a cover
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Brothers In Arms
Dont hold your breath on waiting im still waiting for black label society !
I'm sure they've heard that song
I thought they did that.
Alchemy live version!
I love Ghost. And the mini videos released for announcements are so hilariously good. Definitely doom metal, not so much death.
Opeth - The Drapery Falls
Alter Bridge - The Last Hero
Tremonti - As The Silence Becomes Me
Make these happen!
Last Mistake would be a good Tremonti track for them
I saw Ghost live last december when they played in Stockholm on their latest tour, This song was one of the highlights of the night, just hearing the 14k strong crowd chanting along was amazing!
Please react to Rivers Of Nihil - Where owls know my name!!
Yessss.
One of the best song from last year :) What a great album!
hell yeah that whole album is damn good
@@alexandremarchand8815 one of finest album last year
Yes and make SURE its the official video they react to
When you blast and groove to Ghost in the car and forget to lower volume before pulling into church.
Thanks a lot for the great video.
826,000 subscribers! DAMN! I've been with you guys since your 50,000 mark! Congrats!
Ritual, Square Hammer, Pinnacle (killer bass riff/groove),
But you'd dig the groove to "Rats" and the video with Tobias' dancing
Doran Cushing rats is underrated for sure
Also, I high highly recommend doing either Con Clavi Con Dio or Ritual! Both are early songs from Ghost, and excellent songs!
Ghost is totally tongue in cheek. Tobias himself said it's totally a gimmick, and he loves it lol.
The burger was from Kuma's Korner which is a heavy metal themed restaurant and bar in Chicago. When you all are here go check it out. They have a Slayer,Metallica and Iron Maiden burgers.
As someone who goes their regularly, this is the 2nd best burger I've had in the city!
I've watched some RUclips videos on that place. Are the burgers actually good? Visiting Chicago soon and thinking of hitting that place up.
Saw ghost 8 days ago opening for Metallica 🇮🇪
Same \m/
I saw them open for Iron Maiden a few years ago, became a convert after that
I'm jealous
You gotta give props to Andy Wallace for the mix of this album. His drum sound with the right amount of compression sounds wicked. :)
Generally Awesome I have to disagree. The mixes are mostly wonderful on the majority of Ghost albums. However I think your gripe may be the mastering that is enclosed. Bad mastering destroys a good mix.
Now I will say outright that the mastering on Ghost CDS is absolutely garbage. Maybe that’s where we both have the problem. ;)
I saw Ghost last November in Chicago and they were great.
Year Zero was my gateway to Ghost.
You need to do Rivers of nihil - Where owls know my name. Best metal song of 2018 and best music video ever made.
I fell in love with Ghost’s bassist when I heard their song “Majesty.” You can come on stage wearing whatever you want and singing whatever you want if you have a badass band to sell it.

Although some are separate entities altogether, at one point or another though they all meant "devil".
Only Satanas and Lucifer are names for the devil. All of the others are other demons.
@@ikilledcaptainalex666 that's why "the devil" is in quotation marks, sir.
@@Hurricane000007 Then I'd change it to "a devil", since most people always associate the devil with Satan.
Please do Protest the Hero - C'est La Vie.
I will not stop asking until it happens. :)
Awesome a fellow cest la vie requester keep at em
And I will keep upvoting until they do it
From scurrilous my favourite song would be termites
They better not do protest the hero before fear factory though. FF is a band that influenced at least 80% of the metal bands these guys have reviewed.
@@The716_ That's reeeaaally overselling Fear Factory's influence. In fact, I can't think of a single band LiV have covered that might have been influenced by them.

Just saw them perform live. Funny hearing the lead speak normally, high pitched voice with a strong accent
Talk about a great concert song. Everyone yelling out ALL HAIL SATAN
I saw Ghost live when they opened for Iron Maiden. Too bad I didn't know who they were at the time lol now I love em.
Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
Heavily influenced by king diamond,check him out.
They've done KD before.
I'd say they're a swell mix of King Diamond and Blue Öyster Cult.
@@mysticsaxophone4181 With Alice Cooper and KISS thrown in for good measure.
@@nicholasromig5506 they did Mercyful Fate technically, but KD does have a different music style

or try Daniel Norgren - Moonshine. for some blues
I'd be down for a Desert Cruiser reaction

I first learned about Ghost when I saw an advertisement for RockLaHoma which was held in Oklahoma, loved them ever since.
Stand by him, Spirit, Faith, secular Haze, rats, are songs you need to listen to from them
dont forget "He is" unless they already did that one lol
Thanks, guys, for sharing your opinion. Saw them in concert about 3 years ago not to know what to expect - very entertaining and theatrical show.
I really like Majesty as well as the ones mentioned here many times.
That's been my ring tone since the album dropped
@@Blayney1989 still?
Don't listen to Ghost, you'll lose your soul!!!
I already have concert tickets!
Gojira- "WOLF DOWN THE EARTH" or "REMEMBRANCE" please
appeasedbeast REMEMBRANCE!!!
Wolf Down the Earth is probably my favorite Gojira song, so it's nice seeing it get some love.
YES FINALLY! Hope you'll post a Ghost poll on patreon soon

Holy 70s rock song sound batman!!! lol
(movie sound track material for sure)
Great song man. These guys are great. Been by favourite metal band since hearing Cirice a few years back.
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Love these reaction videos man you guys do a great job
So glad you have returned to Ghost again! And you pronounced Cirice right!
Are you sure ? Cirice is Latin, means church
Andrea C. I know what it means. It's still pronounced correctly, Special Ghoul mentioned it in an interview and pronounced it this way.
This is awesome! Thank you guys.
Shock value has a huge part in the lyrical content guys
Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub
, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer!
Good song to pick, it's one of their older ones. Most people would probably want one of the ones off their new album
Next should be Dance Macabre then Monstrance Clock
Saw Ghost a couple weeks ago in Columbus, the lead singer was cracking lotsa jokes. Def for entertainment.
Glenn Durham he talks about tickling taints, ffs! I love him.
It’s straight-up satire. I love this band.
You can almost picture John Travolta in King Diamond makeup on the Saturday Night Fever dancefloor.
The URGE - jump right in!!! Awesome 90s band from st louis!
Go Blues!!
Bleed blue would by Brook Royal would be better for them to react to
Waited for ever for ya all to do this one
It's all an act. Tobias Forge is not a satanist. He is however a Freemason.
I'm 47 me and my son love Ghost. Got all the albums, took him to a concert...it was awesome! I have to check if you guys did Dance Macabre, Rats and Square Hammer some other really great songs. Thank you for a great video guys
Your reaction is amazing. Instead of going straight to the "satanic panic" ideals you actually recognizes the theatricality of the band. Awesome job.
Saw them live 2 years ago, and once this came on, damn, it was very intense. Bunch of red lights popping, and a massive amount of pyro during it.
yes, their whole satan worshiping theme is mainly a gimmick for entertainment
also you guys might like "from the pinnacle to the pit" from them, the bass line and transitions are sick
nice to see you guys upgrading your set up, so happy to see you guys succeed
I know it may be random but I've noticed i only ever get the part 2 notification and never the first.
Likely has more to do with how they upload. Usually it's back to back, so you see the second because it's the most recent.
From the Pinnacle to the Pit would be perfect! I think you'll like it a lot.
This my favorite Ghost song!
Congrats on the 1 mill subs been subscribed since 100k
Another great song of theirs is "Absolution"
Pulling out the Doom metal reference shows you guys have learned a lot since starting this channel. Been a great journey watching you guys.
Please react to Angra - Carry On (R.I.P. Andre Matos)
@ 5:00 I love how the guy on the left gets a kick out of the 'HAIL SATAN' haha.
Get to some melodic death metal already!
Arch Enemy - My Apocalypse
Soilwork - Weapon of Vanity
Scar Symmetry - Timewave Zero
In Flames - Take This Life
Solution .45 - For Aeons Past
Dark Tranquillity- Nothing to No One
Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet
Disarmonia Mundi - Quicksand Symmetry
That should get you started pretty well 👍👌🤘
Seeing them at aftershock so many years ago was so fun.
They were clearly having a good time
A little off topic, y'all should check out Kamelot sometime
Thank you for returning to Ghost, and for "getting" them.
Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys
Please react to that, still can't believe you guys never did some power metal !!
lucasmegadeth I think they did a react to unleash the archers
Damn Helloween nice call
You guys gotta listen to Ghost's Mummy Dust, Square Hammer and From the Pinnacle to the Pit. I bet you'll like those
Dance Gavin Dance - "Inspire the Liars"
I like how quickly you guys got out of this without comment. Totally natural!
This song is lit live, I would rank it up there with seeing One by Metallica
This song is just the absolute best live. I saw them for the first time last year in November, and Year Zero was the highlight of it for me
