“I should look into them more” A week later… “I have all of Ghost’s albums and EPs and they’re one of my favorite bands” That’s how this band works… you’re already screwed. Welcome to the ritual!
That's what happened to me. Literally. Found them in November....I have all the CD'S, Working on the LP's...have Tshirts and other collectibles. Going to my first Ritual in Aug 2023
@@marybrant9586 When i first heard "Cirice", it was "umh, okay", but i was not impressed. Came back to this one after about 2 weeks and next day i had all albums. I just bought a tshirt, because i'm going to my first ritual at 8 jun 2023. :D
The thing with Ghost is, they're basically doing the whole 70s Rock thing _à la_ Blue Öyster Cult, with a heavy dose of catchy pop melodies. The devil is, after all, a seducer! They try to "subvert the masses", not repel them.
Ghost has been supported by huge bands for a long time. They've been on tour with Metallica and they're all big fans of Ghost. James was even in the audience of a Ghost show once. Dave Grohl also produced and helped record their first ep called If You Have Ghost. I really recommend making more videos on Ghost since they are a very interesting band and their songs vary a lot. They have everything from disco to church-like ballads about Satan. I recommend listening to Rats, He Is, Ritual, Year Zero and Kiss the Go-goat and of course Square Hammer. Those songs really show their range.
Two ways of looking at the lyrics of the song: Either a lover who can see the pain within your heart and doesn't judge you. Or, since this is Ghost, much more likely, the way Satan sees your weakness and pretends to have sympathy to entice you to join him.
Ghost opened for Maiden on the Book of Souls tour when I saw them in Tampa, FL. I'd never heard of them and was pleasantly surprised at their live show.
Jim, Ghost are a fun band, masterminded by one person, Tobias Forge who played the various incarnations of the different lead singer. Check out the video for Cirice, as well as Rats and Dance Macabre. Cirice won Best Metal Grammy Award in 2016 also ! They've only made 4 full albums so far, all chockablock with great tunes.
ghost is a great old school sounding band with great production and pop sensibilities. random personal favourites: Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Deus in Absentia, Faith, and Kiss the Go-Goat.
I'm amaaaaazed you haven't come across ghost Jim. Brilliant band. Tobias Forge is responsible for my album of last decade called Prequelle...he is without doubt a great song writer and performer. Check out his acoustic performances on RUclips as well ...some of them bring tears to my eyes....he originally kept his identity secret which was fun....but various bands splits later and that was not possible anymore despite being really cool in this age of mass communication....anyway still astonishing you haven't heard a single Ghost song before this sir🤷♂️....also I reckon hardest working touring band in recent years....Def on my wish list to see along with Opeth
Message From The Clergy Greetings and salutations, brother Jim! welcome to the Clergy, all are welcome here, we do not judge... unlike some organizations.
To anyone reading, if you ever have the chance, GO SEE GHOST LIVE! I saw them when they were touring with Iron Maiden and they killed the show, even made Iron Maiden look weak compared to them. I've been to many many metal/rock concerts and they are by far my favorite to see live.
Ghost is a band that sucks you in, and once you're in, you'll love them, especially after seeing them live. It's the greatest combination of satanic camp, occult rock, pop rock and even prog in some of their tracks. Ghuleh zombie queen, absolution, ritual, year zero, i could go since i love all their tunes.
Go for the music videos for the next track. They're great showmen and their satanic imagery is a big part of their band identify. I do not agree with "standard lyrics", it's their sound that's standard if anything. The lyrics are satanic in nature but interwoven in catchy hooks and mainstream radio-friendly pop sound. I suggest Dance Macabre, Square Hammer or Kiss The Go-Goat
Love your videos Jim! You keep picking bands I love and it’s a pleasure to hear the songs for the first time again vicariously. Next Ghost picks to consider: Ritual, Rats, Secular Haze.
I'm so glad I just found this channel! I'm going to see Ghost in Feb. 🥰 I'd love to see you react to more. You seem to do mostly prog if I'm right. Do you listen to Prog Metal? Perhaps Symphony X???
This song turned me onto Ghost 2 weeks ago (even tho i knew and liked Dance Macabre after hearing it on the radio). I've been listening nonstop since then and have a new poster on my wall lol. The second tickets go on sale for their next tour im buying. I gotta see these guys live at least once
Just love peoples reaction of their first Ghost encountering. The music video is clearly influenced by Stephen Kings Carrie. I think the title plays with that name. They are in and out of progression, would be cool if you reacted to their instrumental track Miasma
Every now and again I just search through the latest Ghost reactions. Happy you enjoyed it and hope you will listen to more of them! The ending is as such because it leads into the next track. Every Ghost album is a concept album that builds on an overall concept.
Hi, Jim! How's it going, my friend? This is so cool, I love Ghost. Like you said, it's just super accessible, easy to listen metal, and it sure has a pop vein to it. It's so good, the production is always impeccable. I like almost all of their albums from start to finish, the only exception being their second one, Infestissumam. Really great, fun stuff. Cannot wait for further reactions. My number one recommendation would be "Miasma". It is an instrumental, and the song that single handedly started my Ghost craze a while back, I'm 100% sure you'll love that as much as I did. See ya on the next one, Jim!
@@JimNewstead I'm always checking the new videos, waiting for the ones where you happen to react to something I'm familiar with. This was such a nice surprise. Here's to many more! :)
ghost is my current favorite band for the last 5+ years after discovering them on youtube. 'square hammer' was my entry into the ghost rabbit hole. check out the back story behind the evolution of the band. plus, if ever you have the opportunity to see them live, don't miss out. they put on a great show.
Nice! I always describe them as sitting between Judas Priest and Abba. I had the thrill of seeing them live less than a month after I first heard them. I recommend He Is, Ritual, Year Zero and their fantastic Leonard Cohen cover of Avalanche!
Some cool stuff … Terra Tenebrosa - Where shadows has teeth This gift is a curse - monuments of dead gods Watain - the Wild Hunt live summerbreeze Vildhjarta - den heliga anden Avatar - Torn apart (live) Opeth - Deliverence (live) Humanitys Last Breath - Earthless Orbit Culture - Flight of the fireflice Imminence - Heaven in Hiding Adept - Dark Clouds Aviana - Oblivion Not metal but awsome Dirty Loops - Work shit out Can go on forever… this was only my swedish bands rekommendations 😊🤘
Even Tool enthusiasts want to hear and do listen to other shit lol I've seen enough Tool reactions in the last year or so that I definitely need a break lol. I like Ghost a bit. Appreciate the react.
I read something about the leader of Ghost, that he was a failure with his prior band (can't remember the name) and started Ghost as a way of starting over. Reminds me of Andy Tillison, leader of The Tangent. prior to recreating himself, he spent years releasing music under the moniker Parallel or 90 Degrees. With very little success, he started over and added some mainstream musicians and, hence, made millions in record sales. Same as Ghost.
He was in more bands such as glam metal band crashdiet and death metal band repugnant. Repugnant only had one album. It's very cool to hear the heavier side of Tobias. The album is on youtube
I started to listen to Ghost about a month ago. It's very Swedish. As you said with the clean, clear sound. Even though they are their own one comes to think about other Swedish musicians like ABBA, Avicii, Europe, Roxette etc. But also obvious inspiration from all kinds of metal bands. The lyrics are mostly fun. I hope you'll try out a couple of more songs by them.
Hi Jim, new subscriber here. I've only just seen your reaction to circle by ghost who I only discovered a month ago and now I love them. Have you ever done a review of Cardiacs ??? Wildly different from ghost but extremely quirky and somewhat odd but altogether wonderful. If you've never heard them try the " a little man and a house and the whole world window" album and work your way up to " sing to God". My main interests have always been punk and new wave but good music will always find a way in, looking forward to more reviews, cheers, Cuzz, Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Hello there! Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it matey! I know Cardiacs a bit, but never done a deep dive so to speak. They're like a punk-prog band! I should introduce them to the channel. As is fairly normal for the music I listen to, I often discover a band after they've split up or the artist has died.
@@JimNewstead Hi Jim, if you're going to do a review of Cardiacs their most commercial song probably was " is this the life" , which is great or a later song off sing to God called " nurses whispering verses" . They are pretty unknown but marvellous when you delve in. Very sad that their leader Tim Smith ironically had a heart attack and stroke and died after a few years of being unable to make any music . Have a great day, cheers, Cuzz.
The Video for this fantastic Song is a must, as creepy as the whole Band 👍👌👻I love Ghost and the nameless Ghules and Ghoulettes 💀💝More of them are definitely worth it... 🤘
Hope this means you're active again! Ghost are great but some people complain about the contrast between their image and their sound which is a shame. Also, if you haven't checked them out, I'd recommend Thank You Scientist! Should be right up your alley considering how much you like Haken.
Think of this band as something that spawned out of Blue Öyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper, Ghost's songs are all about Satan, and it's therefore a lot of dark humor where he might sing a catchy song about all the different names of Satan for example (It's an old myth that saying all of Satan's names is how you let him possess you)
Your observations were spot on Jim. Accessible, very clean. Pop-metal basically, with a satanic edge (they're not really satanists though). A good band to fall in love with, trust me. Not demanding at all. Just very good fun, but a lot of cleverness goes into it. If you want to listen to more as an entry-point to the band, I'd recommend Square Hammer (sort of in the same vein as Cirice, the same era), Rats (newer, slightly different approach to production). For the older stuff I'd say Ritual is a good song to start with. The very new stuff like Dance Macabre and Kiss the Goat is cool too, but it doesn't really have much to do with metal anymore. Still really good though.
Devastating news, off to watch Igorrr in Manchester on 8th December but both the singers have been cut from the band. Was well looking forward to watching Laure Le Prunenec, as she is one of the best singers I have ever heard, such a beautiful voice. Even so Jim stick some Igorrr on please :)
I really feel like you absolutely nailed the Metallica comparison. The intro was very reminiscent of the early Metallica instrumentals like Call of Ktulu where it starts with a single, almost acoustic, guitar and adds more and more as it progresses until you have this massively epic phrase being played, then going into a heavy riff that is very similar to Sad But True. There's clearly more than just a passing influence by Metallica on this song, musically speaking. Even the lyrics are very reminiscent of Metallica songs like Master of Puppets and Sad But True.
@@JimNewstead That's definitely a good point. I can't really even be specific about why they bother me, but I just can't seem to get past the sound. I have the same issue with the band Volbeat.

@fenek666 yay!!!!! When you have Ghost, you have everything. I've been a fan for about 6 mos at the most.
The thing with Ghost is, they're basically doing the whole 70s Rock thing _à la_ Blue Öyster Cult, with a heavy dose of catchy pop melodies. The devil is, after all, a seducer! They try to "subvert the masses", not repel them.
And the devil has the best tunes!

Ghost - Year Zero!!)))
Recommendation for future Ghost tune: From the Pinnacle to the Pit
I love that song soooo much!
Ghost has been supported by huge bands for a long time. They've been on tour with Metallica and they're all big fans of Ghost. James was even in the audience of a Ghost show once.

I'd also like to recommend their covers of If You Have Ghosts and Here Comes the Sun.
@@archgeneral509 Also Depeche Mode's Waiting for the Night and Papa IV's recent Swedish live tv appearance singing Sympathy for the Devil.
I agree with everyone, but would like to add their covers of “It’s A Sin” and “Avalanche”
ghost is a great old school sounding band with great production and pop sensibilities. random personal favourites: Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Deus in Absentia, Faith, and Kiss the Go-Goat.
I would suggest "Witch Image" from the album Prequelle, or maybe "Rats".
Killer!!!
Witch Image sounds so much like a lost Scorpions song lol. I love it!
Witch Image is fantastic.

All of their concerts post 2017 have great quality and are sometimes better than studio. I highly recommend checking those out.

Any more Ghost coming up, Jim ?
New album out soon so how about a listen to "Call me little sunshine" from the forthcoming album Impera
Oh, probably at some point! I loved listening to them and really like the album Meliora.
James Hetfield is member of the Ghost fan club, and he have seen shows as a part of the audience.
Indeed!
Think of this band as something that spawned out of Blue Öyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper, Ghost's songs are all about Satan, and it's therefore a lot of dark humor where he might sing a catchy song about all the different names of Satan for example (It's an old myth that saying all of Satan's names is how you let him possess you)

I loved this band with the original members, before the lawsuit stuff. Hate to sound like a hipster but the early records were the best
'He is' by Ghost.
I've only ever heard 'Square Hammer' which is far more melodic than the one you've just listened to. Not a bad song but not really my thing.
Cut to nearly a year later... he did not look into Ghost more.
Yes he did. He got 2 albums and listened to them. Just not on camera 👍🏼

Check out ritual also their official video its awesome :)
I have Seen them 2 times Opening for Metallica. They are really Great. Try Ritual, Year Zero or Faith🤘🏼
React to “Faith” official video which is only on Vimeo. Also Witch Image is a fave, Deus in Absentia, Majesty, Mary on a Cross, He Is.
Need to check out the whole package very theater 🎭.

Kreator
Epica (lesser known)

Just some names
Ghost has so much good music, it’s ridiculous
I really feel like you absolutely nailed the Metallica comparison.

Loved the melody and those heavy grindy riffs, but frankly I find the vocals off-putting.
Fair enough! I found the vocals actually REALLY good, a great contrast and juxtaposition to the heaviness of the band.
