To be honest. I like Tobias Forge. He is quite an unique artist. I love the things he comes up with. The overall ideas with Ghost, the bands he was in, the ideas to keep fueling rock music. I hope he keeps it up.
@@thegoatfromiowa8948 It was, but it wasn’t a metal album. It was a timepiece if anything. The only thing that made the album Metal is the bass and drum mix. Besides that, it was a good ode to 80’s rock with modern day mixing.
@@thegoatfromiowa8948 Sorry, response to the wrong person. @Mikey is who I meant this for.

@Evan Paluch You ever heard of bad publicity is good publicity? Because it's still being talked about regardless. If it's good, then nothing needs to change. If it's bad, then either they choose to change or not. If absolutely no one is talking about it, then it's irrelevant and won't be brought up. Like not being talked about as an individual is entirely subjective to the person going through it. But if you're a band and nobody is talking about said band, that's really bad.
@@greedyanimal3148 True, the fact that they're talking about Ghost in the first place means they do give two hoots about Ghost. As for Tobias, knowing the kind of person he is, i don't think so any of this hate bothers him in any way. There are far too many Ghost lovers than Ghost haters, so the noise of the haters sort of gets drowned out.
The only thing ghost needs to do, is EXACTLY what they're doing. I love their sound. They actually have THEIR OWN sound. Not many bands can say that nowadays.
Ghost are amazing. Impera is one of the best album of the year. I saw them live in London back in May and they are better than ever. Being heavy does not make a better band. Ghost have fantastic songs with memorable hooks.
People are mad that they don’t sound like every other band. Ghost has a very distinctive sound and stand out in a wonderful way. Some people can’t wrap their heads around it. Also, any metalhead that claims to ONLY listen to metal is either full of shit, or boring as shit. You can 100% be a metal fan and still enjoy less heavy things
Tobias Never claimed to be the heaviest and he said years ago they got offers to play black metal festivals and said sure, knowing that’s not who they were. Just enjoy them they are a great band and he’s a smart guy who writes great hooks.
@@danpsylence Hey 🙂, I too love the old Ghost but the new Ghost too has its own charm. I think they're doing this to break the monotony. That's why they sound different each time. People get bored easily and if they didn't sound different, trust me you would get to hear a lot of complaints about how repetitive they are. I, for one, appreciate the variety that they bring. Not everybody is capable of that - of bringing variety.
@@majorkusanagi7855 true that but I don’t get bored at all I like what they put out but I feel like the former members from Ghost are way better at this moment they go by as priest it’s like a Syth wave type of stuff nothing like ghost but it smacks. Same with Avenged Sevenfold but I personally don’t like the Stage album at all what so ever. I like different music but some styles are like a big WTF sometimes it works. I feel like ghost is like a gothic doom band type of style with steam punk to it at the moment.
You want heavy, go listen to Tobias’ old band “Repugnant”. Not liking something for “not being heavy enough” is corn ball. There is a whole world of music out there and I enjoy it all.
There is nothing wrong with their music at all. Their music sounds a lot like heavy metal albums from the 70's and 80's. I'm a huge fan of all types of metal, I don't quite understand why people choose to only ever listen to 1 or a couple types of metal but not enjoy more of it.
I'm with Tobias on this one. If you use those terms negatively or you hate their music, don't listen! But what does the former nameless ghoul's have to do with TF's reaction to hate from metal heads? Nothing. That had to do with the lawsuit, which had nothing to do with metalhead hate.
I absolutely love Ghost, they're music is great, they're albums, they're stage presence, All of it, really, they're a very talented, group of guys, who love they're fans, I have nothing bad to say about them, ive been a fan, since 2016, I love Tobias Forge, he's a very kind person, humble, sincere, genuine, great Singer, I just don't have enough good thing's, to say about them, I'm not the kind of person, who gives a shit, what anyone else says, or thinks, people have nothing better to do, than talk crap on other bands, artists, etc...
Ghost are one of the most original and entertaining bands in the rock industry right now. For someone so particular, it's normal to be criticized. What really counts is that Tobias continues to go on and put out other great records and massive shows. Those who love Ghost will be forever at their side 👻💪🤘
I think Tobias has always been influenced by 80s bands. He's stated so on many occasions. I think the other members just added some darker music to it. I think this was exactly what Tobias always was, but he didn't get to show it because the other band members were contributing, thus the sound was super inconsistent. This was evidenced especially on Meliora, when the sounds between songs differed greatly. But with Prequelle and Impera it seems Tobias is being fully himself and putting all his classic rock and cheese into everything ghost does. I mean, have you not seen the latest Ghost video Ghost goes Hollywood? I think most people who are disappointed with what Ghost has become never truly understood what they were to begin with. People just kind of projected their own beleifs on what Ghost shoukd be rather than accepting them for what they are, or rather, what he is, since Tobias is and always has been Ghost.
This is what a brown-nosing Ghost fan sounds like. Basically "you're not a real Ghost fan" kind of gatekeeping asshole. You're allowed to like certain eras of a band over others. The lore was kind of intriguing at the start of Prequelle...but it's not even funny anymore. Papaganda was funny. Papa III was funny. Copia is just sad.
I went to a show back in February because Volbeat was playing and planned on leaving after their show.I decided to stay a bit and see some band called ghost.I had heard of them but never heard any of their stuff.Needless to say, I ended up staying for their entire performance and have been listening to them everyday since.Who would of thought, I was there to see Volbeat but without knowing I was really there for Ghost.I love that band, absolutely amazing.
If someone doesn't like Ghost, OH WELL! That's their problem! Me, personally, I have been a huge fan for over 6 years now, and the last two albums, Prequelle and the absolutely magnificent Impera, are fantastic examples of the "Ghost Sound", and is exactly what I want from Ghost! I have a favorite song from each album: Ritual, Year Zero, Absolution, Miasma, Respite on the Spitalfields. Each song IS Ghost, and their sound is spectacular! Respite is probably my all-time favorite song of Ghost! Such an amazing piece of song writing and playing! Simply perfect! My two favorite albums are: Infestissumam and Impera, with Impera quickly becoming my favorite of them all! If you have Ghost, you have EVERYTHING!
Totally agree really enjoyed your comment those 2 albums influenced me the most as well. 🕯️My favorite songs off Prequelle have to be Pro Memoria and Miasma. But it's hard to choose they're all so good. And off Impera would be Griftwood & Darkness at the heart of my love. 🕯️:')🕯️
@@iamavoidtrippergutterslush666 No problem! We love Ghost and that shows in our posts! I also really like Pro Memoria off Prequelle, and hell, Prequelle is such a great album, too! I agree 100%! I picked Respite over the others simply because I wanted to pick one, but in reality, ALL of Impera is fantastic, and Griftwood and Darkness are both incredible!
Of all the bands I have seen in concert, Ghost has been one of the most entertaining ones I have seen. I went to their pre-tour concert with Volbeat (who is also amazing to see live and one of the VERY FEW bands that sound live like they do recorded). Who cares how "heavy" they are - the music is amazing. People hating have probably never performed music or written music so they can sod off.
@@Bornagainvillain If someone doesn't like something then fine, that's their opinion. That also doesn't make them a musical savant either though. No one said they needed to be experts to dislike something :)
Agreed especially with the support acts they had when I went to my first Ghost concert. I now regularly listen to Twin Temple as well because they are funny and make good music.
I love ghost ang their sound... people are just expecting they're some kind of black metal or death metsl based on their looks... hahah they reminds me of old bands like scorpions..
I can remember that same metal purist poser vibe from the eighties. The way that they would measure musical greatness was: "harder, faster, louder = better." The race to see who had the most extreme sound was over by the late '80s to early '90s in the forms of grind-core, death and Scandinavian black metal. It's childish and ludicrous to worry whether a band is "heavy" enough or not. Music is and has always been subjective.
I don't care what category they are, I love all of their songs. I have plenty of metal bands I love, Ghost doesn't have to fit in a specific genre. It is my comfort band and I can't wait to see them live :)
OG ghost fan here. Never cared how heavy they were. I just hate that Tobias single handedly dismantled everything that made me fall in love with the first 2 records.
After cirice, I thought I remember them saying they were going to get darker and heavy but didn't. That's literally my only gripe. Still decent music just that little lie didn't sit well with me.
I'm not a Ghost fan by any means, but I'm happy that they love what they do and that there are fans who like them. It's all about respect and just loving art, that's why music is so important to so many.
As someone who mainly prefers heavier subgenres of metal, Ghost is still my favorite band as they make amazing music. Anyone who says a band cant be good if they are not heavy is wrong.
All kinds of musical artists will always get hate. ALWAYS. You can never escape those opinions because people will never be satisfied with what you do because that’s just how unhappy and bitter people are 🤷🏻♀️. You guys want to know why they have lasted this long as a band? Because they’re more focused on you as a fan and bringing YOU good music that they know YOU like and not focused on those “haters” so they don’t care enough to satisfy THEM. I don’t like heavy metal or super super hard core rock and metal stuff but I genuinely like their band and I’ve seen some of their shows on RUclips and they have really good performance energies they all just seem to have fun and enjoy their own music unlike some artists, other artists become pressured with trying to be perfect look perfect give perfect shows and sometimes we as fans don’t even care about how perfect the show is how perfect every detail is, we just want to be able to feel like we can connect with the performer and feel like the performer and the audience are just normal people trying to have fun instead of feeling like “we’re just here to sit pretty and watch the pretty artist perform”. Ghost has that “click” or “spark” about them that they demonstrate live where they interact with fans as Normal people and have conversations with us or do goofy silly things just to make us laugh and feel closer to them. It’s how it should be like with every other genre artist. So, I’m glad that ghost are the way they are and they’re ignoring all of those “haters”. So, take notes @ artists from all different kinds of genres.
I love the previous albums, with Meliora being the peak fusion between evil metal and pop melody for me. Impera has drifted too far into bad "hair metal" territory, and unfortunately after multiple tries I just can't get into to it... none of the songs have made my Ghost playlist. I'm also not a fan of the new look (gas masks) for the nameless ghouls. Oh well... I still have hope for future output from this talented band.
People who haven't actually played music are the ones who complain about it the most. When you see how hard it is to do even the simplest thing on a guitar, or any instrument. You will find an appreciation for ALL forms of music. No matter what your preferences are.
Am a black metal fan...and I listen to Ghost alot. Its a nice laid back sound. And the lyrics those lyrics evil af sung by a nice clean clear voice. We all like what we like right, like I cant stand Metallica after And Justice For All....we all like what we like.
For me Meliora is my favourite followed by Impera and Prequelle. I don't count anything before Meliora as it is too different and not in keeping with the sound Tobias wants for Ghost.
Tobias , Yes metal is part of what you do , but i do not give a toss about the naysayers , your music gets in my heart & my soul from the 1st album till present
*Nice one, Tobias a.k.a Papa Emeritus/Cardinal Copia! I'll always love you and your band, Ghost! 😅 Ghost is definitely a one-of-a-kind band because of the "nameless ghouls" of musicians who've died and been resurrected by YOU just to perform again! 😂 LOL love you, man! You take care, now! Keep making AMAZING music and never let the stupid haters get to ya! I don't, anyway! 😅 Enjoy yourselves, everybody and stay safe! 😆👍✌🎸*
I don't think they ever claimed that there a metal band. Who says a band has to be only one genre anyway? they have some songs that sound more metal and some songs that sound 80s and some pop ish. if anything they are just a super unique band. Very original.
The bassist that filed the suit is just stupid. You knew what you were signing up for!!! The point was to remain anonymous!!! If you didn't like that, quit!
GHOST is what they are, either accept it or you're not a true fan.. Personally, they're not really my cup of tea but I respect what they do and they do it well! If they're not "heavy enough" then go listen to Slipknot & stfu!✌️
If heavy only means blast bass and shredding solos. However there are people who understand Heavy also means content of lyrics and atmosphere. But some people prefer to live by the motto, "Ignorance is Bliss". But I prefer sinning by eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge and wisdom.
Tobias has said it himself, Ghost is entertainment. The presentation makes it seem to some people like they're trying to be something they're not, but the point was never to be heavy. It was just to be fun.
I don’t care if it’s “heavy” or not, I just want to hear good rock music. I’m happy to say I’ll be seeing them in NJ in September as well
If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it. “Problem” solved.

@@kevinwagner7333 don't take it so literally dude. Just take It for what it is
@@gageroberts5513 ah it was figurative....makes sense. One of those....this only applies in this situation statements
Ghost is Ghost and if you don’t like that you can piss off and let me get tickets!
Ghost are better now than they’ve ever been. Haters gonna hate!
Ghost is awesome.
Dudes got alot of negative shit to say about nu metal though. I think he still needs a reality check. Music is music.
To be fair, Nu Metal is bad. 😁
@@dreadtrain2846 coming from a ghost fan girl with lip gloss and knee pads on, I wouldn't expect nothing less from you.
@@dreadtrain2846 changed your Tobias forge profile pic after that comment 🤣
@@thestu059 Noooooo, I changed it when I was trolling some Christian. You aren't that important lol
This is them. I don't understand why they can't do their own take on this form of art.
I'd rather see Ghost playing catchy tunes in an arena than see Verb the Noun chugging open E on a 12 string in a bar somewhere 🤷
Ghost is the best Metal band to hit the scene in a long time...No Gene Rock is Not dead ! 🤘
I'm with em. I CAN'T STAND GHOST OR THEIR FANS.
I highly prefer their heavier stuff over their pop stuff but people shouldn't attack them for doing what they love
I used to listen to a variety of music, now I listen to a variety of Ghost.
Haters gonna hate …. Ghost is fun to watch live.
I will love him until I die. I am obsessed with ghost. All my tattoos r ghost and will continue to get more as they grow!
Love IMPERA. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Simple as that.
My Mother always said if you're being talked about, you are doing something right!
Am a black metal fan...and I listen to Ghost alot. Its a nice laid back sound. And the lyrics those lyrics evil af sung by a nice clean clear voice. We all like what we like right, like I cant stand Metallica after And Justice For All....we all like what we like.
For me Meliora is my favourite followed by Impera and Prequelle. I don't count anything before Meliora as it is too different and not in keeping with the sound Tobias wants for Ghost.
Dance macabre was the first song I ever listened too.
San Diego WOOOOOO!!! Pit Tickets bought
I like it, I listen to lots of deathcore but not all bands need to be ultra heavy, and I like that theyre a blackened rock band.
King Diamond/Mercyful Fate is the best. This dude wishes he were like them
Seeing them in couple weeks here in Huntsville!!!!
That's what everyone said about Metallica in the 90's
I like the pop sound too. Dance Macabre and square hammer 🔨 love that shit
Tobias , Yes metal is part of what you do , but i do not give a toss about the naysayers , your music gets in my heart & my soul from the 1st album till present
Here is your BADGE OF HONOR!
Ironically I avoided listening to Ghost for so long because I thought they were one of those "Cookie Monster" metal bands.
Ghost still stays the best band
*Nice one, Tobias a.k.a Papa Emeritus/Cardinal Copia! I'll always love you and your band, Ghost! 😅 Ghost is definitely a one-of-a-kind band because of the "nameless ghouls" of musicians who've died and been resurrected by YOU just to perform again! 😂 LOL love you, man! You take care, now! Keep making AMAZING music and never let the stupid haters get to ya! I don't, anyway! 😅 Enjoy yourselves, everybody and stay safe! 😆👍✌🎸*
Artist do what they do. It's called creativity. Nothing wrong with that.
I don't think they ever claimed that there a metal band. Who says a band has to be only one genre anyway? they have some songs that sound more metal and some songs that sound 80s and some pop ish. if anything they are just a super unique band. Very original.
I'm 61. Ghost is helping save rock.
I don't get it. They are great for what they are.
The bassist that filed the suit is just stupid. You knew what you were signing up for!!! The point was to remain anonymous!!! If you didn't like that, quit!
Metal fans not being cool with the theatrics is the most ironic thing I’ve ever heard . Metal is very theatrical .
Ghost is good but they sound more like high quality pop to me, and that’s not really much of an insult so fair enough. Good for him !
Listen to their early albums.
Enjoy it or move on! No worries!
Who cares what the haters say? In my opinion, Ghost are amazing and one of the best bands out there today! 🔥🤘🏽
They never burst into any scene as a heavy metal act. They've always been hard pop.
2:06 did you really mispelled Mastodon?
No one who likes ghost gives a shit about the opinions of those who don't like Ghost
Meliora was a perfect album. I cant fully get into Imperia. Im glad I found some other bands that fill the void (unto Others).
The new album is great but, I do miss the raw sound of the first two albums. I would like to see another album similar to their first album.
GHOST is what they are, either accept it or you're not a true fan.. Personally, they're not really my cup of tea but I respect what they do and they do it well! If they're not "heavy enough" then go listen to Slipknot & stfu!✌️
Love Ghost!!
If heavy only means blast bass and shredding solos. However there are people who understand Heavy also means content of lyrics and atmosphere. But some people prefer to live by the motto, "Ignorance is Bliss". But I prefer sinning by eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge and wisdom.
Tobias has said it himself, Ghost is entertainment. The presentation makes it seem to some people like they're trying to be something they're not, but the point was never to be heavy. It was just to be fun.
