You know what Ghost taught me? Popes wear such elaborate outfits because it gives them an aura of Holiness (Especially during the Dark Ages). It’s like peacocking while acting humble. You’re the chosen one, and everyone will know it by what you are wearing. It’s a way of projecting Authority to others and showing them that you are higher than them on the social hierarchy. So that’s why Papa Emeritus is so fucking amazing. He’s using the Catholic Church’s bag of tricks against them while using them to make his own point. Ghost’s aesthetics are a big part of their success. The music is amazing on its own, but that look is theirs and theirs only.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Papa II was a grumpy old man, maybe in his late 50’s or early 60’s. That’s why he takes himself so seriously on stage. Papa III was younger, so his character reflects that. He’s more youthful and looks to be in his 30’s. Papa I may not have had the best costume, but he was the most evil one of them all.
I remember watching this video a few months after the upload, thinking 'One day they will play an audience this big, but who came especially for Ghost...' And now, five years later.. They will play audiences this big! Insane how fast time went, but even more insane how fast Ghost grew and still is growing. Rock on, TF!
Ghost is just perfect, amazing music, amazing stage performance and presence, amazing lore/story, and amazing people. What else could you ask for? Edit: Amazing fan base, the perfect fan base, because it's SUPPOSED to be a cult so we aren't creepy for being the way we are toward them unlike other bands, lol.
So Swedish television gets this, but we in North America get the scrounge that is Miley Cyrus shaking her non existent rear end at award shows? God help us, or Satan help us, or Papa. LOL
FYI: This was broadcasted by the Swedish public service broadcaster SVT. "Our ambition is that everyone will find something truly relevant in our offering. Something to learn from, or be inspired and amused by."
I just saw them Friday. Absolutely incredible. I hope this band gets big enough to play places like Madison Square and MGM. With a bigger budget, stage, and venue these guys would put on one fucking hell of a show.
Maybe it was the wrong crowd, but this is one of the biggest events for musicians in Sweden. So for that matter, it was the right crowd. A couple of thousands in the "arena" and probably a 1-2 million TV viewers. So totally the right crowd, the swedish people needs to see what is going on, the first swedish band to ever play Rock in Rio, and on the biggest stage between 2 super bands. So hail Ghost!
God, I can’t believe we used to have this and now we have the crap with Cardinal Copia. Oh sorry, I mean Papa IV. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for their success. But man was this so much better. The creepy ominous vibe. Not some bobble head riding a unicycle on stage and changing outfits like 8 times. All while sounding more and more squeaky every show.
I'm catholic and I love this, it's not about religion, it's about music, I don't understand why some people say it's offensive, it's just music so let's enjoy, that's my point of view ^^
Mel Sensei I'm Catholic. I go to mass every week. I love this band.They're my 3rd favorite band and one of the freshest sounds to come out since 1995. I can't wait to see them in May.
There's nothing we can do about them, there are a lot of people that find this offensive, it doesn't matter, we can enjoy this kind of music without paying attention to them, I'm catholic too, I go to mass and all but I love Ghost :D
Kalle, just go to the official Ghost site and read on information. It doesn't appear on the Nameless Ghouls site but in the old one, as in the first Ghost site: "Ghost is the name of a devil worshipping ministry, that in order to spread its unholy gospels and, furthermore, trick mankind into believing the end is ultimately a good thing, have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to achieve their ends..." So I guess that they're acomplishing their task, right crowd indeed
Okay this has to be the best live performance for Secular Haze
It sends fucking chills up

Why the fuck did it take 7 years for me to finally see this! This is a fantastic version
Can you possibly walk onstage in any more badass of a way? Holy shit lol
+Andrew Piccirilli yes, only if it's Papa Emeritus...
Agreed, it's awesome.
The end is cool too, the way it focuses on Papa on the final words...
Andrew Piccirilli epic! 👌
Floating?
Well, flying, really.
this is one of the sexiest performances I've ever seen. Holy shit, that entrance alone had me on my knees.
I forgot how much darker and more serious Papa 2 was than 3.
I'm pretty positive they're all the same guy new costumes
I think they're talking about the persona rather than the person

Slither Elaine Papa III is in his late 50s early 60s. Papa II was described as late 50s to early 60s in an interview and Papa III is 3 months younger
Slither Elaine im pretty sure papa 2 is not dat old, and im pretty sure papa 1 was the one in his 60’s

That entrance was boss!
I miss the anonymous days.
We all do
I don't. I'm glad I know who they are but to each his own

I'm sure all of those people left feeling like they had been forced to witness a black mass.
Awesome.
I've seen these guys 3 times, watching them grow from decent sized shows to full on arenas.. best band to come out in recent years
Sweet Marie! Just MAJESTIC! Own that stage Papa! Own it!!!!!
Will always adore these outfits of the ghouls. They look like some scary freaking ducks I love it. (Maybe the canadian geese tobias was talking about)
My daughter says they look like they eat your soul while youre still alive. 😂😂😂
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS UNTIL NOW
This was filmed incredibly well!
So Swedish television gets this, but we in North America get the scrounge that is Miley Cyrus shaking her non existent rear end at award shows? God help us, or Satan help us, or Papa. LOL
LoL "...shaking her non existent rear end..." LoL !!! You made my day!!!! :-D
ain't that the fuckin' truth! we should have "Ghost T.V." here in the U.S.
FYI: This was broadcasted by the Swedish public service broadcaster SVT.
"Our ambition is that everyone will find something truly relevant in our offering. Something to learn from, or be inspired and amused by."
Karina Per Yeah it's a shame how bad American pop culture is. If only the works of what people call "evil" was appreciated more.
well yea in Sweden metal is very mainstream....
2:37 "Omnii-yyyent"
Hahaha didnt even noticed the first 10 times i watched it
Omni-YEET
Old Ghost needs to comeback.
Papa II is so grim looking!! Papa III is so handsome :3
I prefer II for that reason.
Wat bout papa one he was even more mysterious and grim looking
♥️
No one in that crowd knew what to do 😂
They were mesmerized by Lucifer, there was nothing they could do. Hail!
😂
I wish they did this with their concerts... We love the grandstanding and sister's of Satan. More of this.
Great performance..
Ilove the way he "possess" the guitarist at 2:06
Maximousse meee too
I love that riff in the guitar solo 💀
Earth's eyes are so... beautiful...
Erika Southern Aksel 😍
THAT ENTRANCE! Im not worthy
This is rad and it was cool to see members of the ministry present.
My most favorite live performance of my #1 favorite song 💋
We need Papa II back
00:29 man! I love the way he play the drums!
excellent performance of Papa II and nameless ghouls ,I love Ghost.
I just saw them Friday. Absolutely incredible. I hope this band gets big enough to play places like Madison Square and MGM. With a bigger budget, stage, and venue these guys would put on one fucking hell of a show.
And, they've done it!
Wish absolutely granted.
This comment aged really well 🤩
LOL, well done Nostradamus :)
It';s 'Stompity Stomp' Omega on the left. Simon and Martin the best guitar team of this band's history! This is a brilliant song even live!
Maybe it was the wrong crowd, but this is one of the biggest events for musicians in Sweden. So for that matter, it was the right crowd.

Not enough fog, not enough fog! It's Ghost and they rock the stage.
This is sooo cool . Papa 2 was badass .
Wow this is an amazing production. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks to everyone who made this!!
THAT ENTRANCE THO ^=^
i only started listening to them this week and they're already up in my favorite bands.
Amazing performance! ORANGE!
Interesting, very very good, the rythm, the voice, the letters...i start listening and now i CAN NOT STOP!!
Guys, this was aired live on TV to millions. Definitely the right crowd.
God, I can’t believe we used to have this and now we have the crap with Cardinal Copia. Oh sorry, I mean Papa IV. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for their success. But man was this so much better. The creepy ominous vibe. Not some bobble head riding a unicycle on stage and changing outfits like 8 times. All while sounding more and more squeaky every show.
Copia will die one day... Patience.
¡El inicio, CARAJO! ¡EL INICIO! Jodidamente épico, al igual que en el 2:06
This is beyond amazing, from when i first saw them in a small bar to seeing them on live TV with a huge stage production. Absolutely amazing
Damn that entrance is dope af
Aaaa, such a great band... Let's waltz towards Bilial... he he he
2:06 es épico como lo manipula "según"
this band is god damn awesome
Papa's voice is so powerful live.
Those keys turnt UP mang
Meu eu sou cristão mais os caras tocam bem de mais e Papa Emeritus canta muito.
He looked breathtaking in this.. all of them did. 🖤
I hope those dark days return with a future papa more diabolical
Vastly prefer this version of Papa
I swear, I think blue oyster cult is under those robes... Lol
Great band.
+9496Tull See, I KNEW I couldn't be the only one that made that comparison.
They did drew allot of inspiration from them. You can't blame them its a hell of a band!
@@MyrteKhadr Its one of the influences but multiple times the band has said its by far not the biggest influence.
Papa 2 was my fave
This is actually amazing if i was in that audience i would be busting it down wtf
This was a television audience not used to Ghost. I actually like how memorized they are during the performance ..then they scream in joy at the end.
"Text & Musik: A ghoul writer" Haha, love it.
message to all catholics who listen to ghost:
please educate your fellow catholics who find this offensive on the phrase "tongue-in-cheek"
I'm catholic and I love this, it's not about religion, it's about music, I don't understand why some people say it's offensive, it's just music so let's enjoy, that's my point of view ^^
Mel Sensei I'm Catholic. I go to mass every week. I love this band.They're my 3rd favorite band and one of the freshest sounds to come out since 1995. I can't wait to see them in May.
Oh this aint tongue-in-cheek. This is pure Satanism...not saying I find it offensive. I'm a "Christianic Satanist " as I call myself, and proud of it!
There's nothing we can do about them, there are a lot of people that find this offensive, it doesn't matter, we can enjoy this kind of music without paying attention to them, I'm catholic too, I go to mass and all but I love Ghost :D
TheDorian120723 lmfao. This is all for show , it's a gimmick
Walk in and Conquer!!!!! Make EM melt!!!!💙
Papa moonwalk @ 2:18
Lol
Amazing video 🤟🏼🖤
Magnificent!
More keyboard on the chorus section please.
WTF me cague en los pantalones con esa salida tan diabolica del papa Emeritus 👍🏻
Very Cool !!!
Listening to them is one thing, but listening and watching them is absurdly mind-blowing, powerful, beyond obscure. How to forget them
zajebisty kawałek i zajebista kapela / an awesome band and an awesome song
wow, they sound really good live
And then walk in the killer klowns from outer space
Papa Emeritus Il Secondo.
omg this is really nice i also listen to celine dion and remco temminck occasionaly
When Ghost was good
Agree
bbooohooo
@@lamsakeI agree 👍🏻 Ghost is not good there are amazing old and now ❤
@@ellabella6099 that doesn’t make sense
this is legendary!!
Helt makalöst vackert och jävligt bra!
Such a badass entrance!
You may have your opinion yet Lucifer will eat your soul anyways.
1:26 omg
me encanta en el minuto 2:07 se ve como si lo manipulara o algo asi
Damn, I wish I would have been there. How completely random but amazing that Ghost performed. True Metal is showing itself in 2013.
Awesome keyboards!
sooo kick ass!
Now this kicks ass 🔥
Amazing!!
Awesome album. Ghost is the best that happen in Sweden since ABBA.
awesome!
James Hetfield actually wore a Ghost t-shirt on their last visit to Sweden last summer with the big 4 - during backstage interviews and such :D
I can't believe I didn't watch this.
epic intro
Papá Emeritus II the best!
Going to see them live on the 25th Apr. Cannot fucking wait!!! I love their theatrics.
What a entrance!

Fantastic. ROCK IN RIO!! \o/
LOVE IT!
This is so awesome haha. I could se one fan excentrically raising a fist in the air!!
first i thought this is playback, but, fuck yeah, this is live!
Metal is huge in Scandinavia in general.
Great performance
