I think the reason why there are so many haters that haven't even listened to them is because their first albums very much was metal which landed them in the metal category, so when Forge started to implement non metal styles into the songs combined with some metal riffs we have these gate keepers be like: "This isnt metal this sucks I refuse to listen to it" especially when they started to implement pop aspects into it.
Spot on. They are pigeonholed as 'metal', but in reality they cover so many sub-genres of rock, including doom metal, prog, '80s arena rock (modernised), pop/rock.
As someone who has played in death and industrial death metal bands, I've loved Ghost since I saw them in Vegas on their first US tour, a year or so before they shot to fame. They're so good live, and honestly, the gatekeeping that happens around Ghost is so juvenile. They're a dope band. Full stop.
I was at the LA show. No cell phones were allowed because it was being recorded for the movie. It was an amazing experience to be at a show without a thousand phones in front of you. It was like going to a show in the 80s/90s.
I kick myself that i was late to the party of ghost. I'm now a huge huge fan and can't wait for the chance to see them live. I love seeing your genuine appreciation for them 🖤
Same here! I was talking about music with my supervisor several months back and he recommended this group to me and was like "Dude, just look past their aesthetic and actually just listen to the music. If you like 70s and 80s rock like you're saying you do you'll probably love them." He was not wrong and I actually like the aesthetic so there was nothing to look past LOL.
You got the most right. Only thing is that the live musicians you see in this video never plays on the albums. The only musician that played on an album is Martin Persner original Omega) who plays on some songs on Infestissumam and Meliora. Aksel Holmgren who plays drums on Infestissumam, Henrik Palm who plays bass on Meliora and on Opus Gustav Lindström plays bass but he only played like five or ten shows live on the first tour. So there is no and have never been a full band who works together. The live musicians comes from many places around the world and one of them is swedish as Tobias. That is Per Ericsson on solo guitar.
Yup exactly. I'm a makeup artist and if it was makeup it wouldn't look that good sweating through a 2 hr show. It would be all smeared and everywhere on the clothing
I wish they would release the entire Tampa show as a professional video too. It looks incredible. I really want to see it. I don’t want to see them live… I HAVE to see them live. Tobias Forge is definitely a musical and theatrical genius.
This is just a really good song with excellent 80s vibes. It's almost a perfect song if you know what that is. Great hooks and chorus. And the synth adds a great background. Reminds of many bands in the 80s although these guys have a way.. WAAAY.. better production.
Saw 'em live for the first time at Download Festival in Sydney, Australia - recently caught their Re-Imperator tour concert in Sydney as well. Really looking forward to the next Ritual.

This makes sense. Thanx for the comment

Love that! We are looking forward to the movie. Will be epic I'm sure.
Why enjoy TOOL shows too
Bullshit, we had our cellphone.
I'm a death metal, black metal and melodic metal guy and i effing love Ghost.
Awesome! Same here. Check out our reaction to Deathless Legacy as well. I think you might like them.
..a bad thing?

Thank you so much! And happy to hear you love them too.

I also saw Ghost in Phoenix, for the first time. I was blown away and can't wait to see them again.
I saw Ghost for the first time in August, phenomenal concert.
Same, can't wait to see them again!

The amazing thing is that he sings like this whilst wearing a Full Head Mask with just his Ears out !!
(It's not make-up.)

its sound like 80s band title runaway bonjovi with vokal suede , and this song FYP on tiktok for 2 years

It was 2006....
Cardinal Copia is with 4th album Prequelle....but Cardi was promoted to Papa IV...so same character....he just earned his skull paint
The LA shows will be a movie with concert elements. According to Tobias....my thought it's going to be a Chapter movie
One of the best live performence is 2016 Hellfest (my opinon) 'the original band'
And they are so good live...🇸🇪
Veldig bra band, ble glad da jeg hørte at de var svensk🇸🇪🇳🇴
Dosent give micheal meyers vibe Halloween 😮❤so beautiful and cool 😮
Am i the only one who always hear "Marihuana Grass"? 🤣
But that's right, the song has a double meaning, the vocalist himself already said that's what it's about
Hi Mattias this is Mathias but only one T
Hi Mathias, my son's name is Matias without H 😂
Rock opera.
6:22 NOPE! it was the LYRICS = non'murican!
What's up with the sound? It completely spoils the sensational music to the point of tearing the ears. Same with the video, not smooth at all.
