+Xavier I'm the ultra noob when it comes to this band cause I just recently discovered them. Are all 3 Papa Emeritus the same singer? Would really apprechiate if you could answer me that question :)
+Gold Rush I think it's a safe bet to say that most people are aware that it's always been the same guy, but they like to play along with the band's mysterious identity gimmick. It really adds to their personality and makes them unique.
+dustin steeves They look alike and sound alike. I don't think people are that far off. However, it doesn't matter. The music and the show is what matters.
They probably did, this isn't recording from a camera, it's recording from the soundboard. If you really think there would be this little sound coming from a crowd, you need to get your head checked, it's not even possible to stay that quiet, even if you're not enjoying a show.
I wish I had been a Ghost fan during this era... I came in right as they transitioned from Meliora to Prequelle. No I'm not one of those "The current Ghost sucks" people and I love Cardinal Copia too, but there was just something about Papa III and the Meliora era ghouls (even after the lineup changes) that the current era seems to lack. Maybe it's because the first Ghost song I heard was Square Hammer, maybe it's because all these wonderful videos of the third Emeritus made me a diehard fan. I just wish I could go back to witness it all as it happened and even have the chance to see Papa live. Yeah I know it's all the same man under the masks, but the characters he portrays have enough differences and their own personalities that once you miss a frontman, you just can't go back. RIP Papa III, I wish you could come back for one final encore.
I heard this song on the digital station planet rock, and im absolutely hooked. cant believe ive only just found them. I like all their stuff, but Faith & Cirice are my top two. hard to pick. I'm 45 and I'm wishing for my goth days......
I just fell for ghost this last year.. just a great band but I wish like you I noticed them sooner but square hammer was mine and my 3yr Olds song.. he loves it... great voice
Man, this is awesome, divine, these guys are musical geniuses, Tobias without extra vocals, they play in such a way that no comment is needed. Thanks for everything.
I honestly do not know how Papa makes it through this song without a tear. I get chills and teary eyed simply listening to the song on my CD...as I know the REAL meaning of it. But on the flip side - - Papa sure gave a POWERFUL performance and so much respect for his brother in this performance. CHIIILS! I love this band so much! HAIL GHOST AND PAPA!!
@@mrheadlessa i assume its about his very personal relationship with satan (parody or not), posing it in a juxtaposition to how some people say Jesus is their savior. I know alot of his persona is a joke but id definitely say thats what this is about
@@cheezyandgreasy idk man, the way I understand the meaning after watching multiple interviews is that his brother was his shining and his like without whom he could not see. His brother introducing him to music and rock n roll at a young age and sort of paving his way into the future. And also keep in mind his brother died just before opus released and I believe that last line refers to that. The "falling over the precipice" opposite is like rising out of nothingness and you sure know Ghost like flipping things around i mean just look at the logo lmao. But that's how I interpret it, a song dedicated to his brother but music is meant to be interpreted differently, peace love and hugs man! ✌️
@@mrheadlessa yeah ive watched those interviews, and his brother influenced him. i interpreted that as the song was dedicated to his brother who started him on that journey
@@ricardocerezo7955 I assume so and the audience is probably also mesmerized. Tobias' voice, the acoustic guitars = mesmerizing, just as when I heard Opeth for the first time.
My personal litmus test for the quality of a metal band's material is to listen to it done acoustically; so many acts can shred and scream but it all falls apart as soon as they need to tone it down. Not to say that the fully electrified songs do him a disservice or anything, but I love this performance cuz it really lets Tobias's vocals shine for the powerhouse they are. Great stuff, man
That’s really stupid. That’s like saying I test pop songs by listening to them in drop B tuning and death screaming. Acoustic isn’t the same as electric, even the cords are changed to make it sound good. You can’t just take a electric song and play it unplugged, I’ve played ghosts songs without them plugged in and they sound wrong because they aren’t made that way, these songs have the cords changed so it sounds normal and good.
These Acoustic performances really showcase TF's vocal talents and how far he's come in these past years. Papa IV is good, but Terzo is GREAT. Long live Papa III, miss you!
Very interested to know if he's had operatic vocal training. His voice is beautiful, he doesn't take massive inhales inbetween lines, even the ones he holds for a long time. All that screams opera training to me! My Grandparents both sang opera & both funnily enough loved metal! It's funny to listen to a band & have your Grandpa nodding along then randomly say "That young man is a talented singer, he's worked hard on that voice!" Tobias is clearly very dedicated to Ghost & offering incredible performances, I'd love to know!

Regardless if you disapprove of what he's singing about. This is a beautiful sounding song. The melodies, riffs, and when everything is added on the track from the studio. Everything just blends so perfect. Just my opinion. Cheers.
Exactly. The blended guitars and the Rock opera style vocals and stylings blow me away. Just as the guitars and vocal harmonies blew me away on the acoustic version of Rats. Amazing!
I’m a Christian. I love this song. Absolutely love this band. I was told about them before my friend played it for me and I did nt care it’s phenomenal
In October of 2016 my best friend dropped dead. I wasnt a big ghost fan but he always tried to convince me.. I listened to this for about 3 days after.. He was a great dude.
they've certainly been working on polishing the acoustic performances a lot, specially with this song, Papa's voice didn't sound that well on the first performances of He Is but now it's completely on point.
Noticed the masks haven't you? They are ghouls masquerading as humans. They wear ghoul masks to make people actually believe that there's a human underneath. Think Team Fortress 2 Spy double agent wearing a spy mask.
Such a beautiful song sung by an amazingly beautiful man. Ya know,when Tobias is in makeup and onstage I just cannot pick him out. It's just Papa out there. Much like when Alice Cooper was younger. Well hidden in his makeup onstage. WAhen I met him back in the day,I was kind of lost because he didnt look at all like Killer,his onstage persona.
Am I the only one who just absolutely adores his body language? He's so majestic and glorious 😍
it's majestic and hypnotic... 💖
It is perfect
You looks majestic ;)

I don't mind people recording. But where I'm from, when the frontman invites you to sing, you sing.
Exactly.
Fr I was thinking the exact same... great minds lol
They probably did, this isn't recording from a camera, it's recording from the soundboard. If you really think there would be this little sound coming from a crowd, you need to get your head checked, it's not even possible to stay that quiet, even if you're not enjoying a show.
The crowd is partly muted.
Unreal. Too busy holding their phones to even give Nameless Ghoul applause after the solo.
Idk why but the shot of the Ghoul having a drink absolutely sent me, it looks so cursed💀
when papa says sing it! you fluckin sing it you dont record with your damn phone!
Ungrateful bastard
AMEN!
Satan Damn right!

This right here 💋🤌🏼
REALLY miss Papa III 😔🥺🤘
I need more acoustic versions of Ghost's songs!! Tobias' voice really shines in acoustic settings. :D
Am I the only one who now wants to see a performance of The Phantom Of The Opera with Papa Emeritus as The Phantom?
agreed
Oh my god I would kill for that. He sings in the perfect pitch for it too.
totally agreed!!!!!

the papa of the opera is there inside my mind

hybridamerica I want to quote this for Papa
Something about the song is so comforting to me. I feel so safe when I listen to it
Papa's voice and the guitars are on point! Can't WAIT to see them live in April!
I know! April cannot get here fast enough!
Where are you?I am seeing them in april too!! I'm going to Omaha neshow!
Shoowww***
+Moria Funck I'm seeing them in Baton Rouge.
Ooo! Okay
still one of the best recordings of that song on youtube. His voice is gorgeous on this version, holy cow.
Papa's voice sounds even better!
+Cannibal Bunny Of course! Because he's getting younger all the time :)
because the mask is more light weight and thinner so it somewhat moves with his mouth allowing better sound
+UpInSmokeBaby its paint
+Mr.bunny Slippers it's a mask 😂 they hide his real face. look closely
+UpInSmokeBaby is it hah they made it really really really fucking thin this time....although i do believe its always the same person
I don't care how many times I hear it...it gives me chills every time!
They are so awesome live, probably one of the best live bands, just crowd is horrible
They are enjoying...

Angel of lucifur
A fallen angel ❤
These Acoustic performances really showcase TF's vocal talents and how far he's come in these past years. Papa IV is good, but Terzo is GREAT. Long live Papa III, miss you!
I'd love ghost to put an acoustic album out there, this gives me the shivers! It would sell like hot cakes!
Damn, a Tear just dropped.
I know right, it's like a beautiful fallen angel, singing.
That's what just happened to me

This is my favorite version of the song on RUclips. So beautiful.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen
I just started listening to this band a few days ago and I'm completely obsessed!
Tiffani Moreno te amo
same here, just 2 years apart from you
Same, but 8 years apart from you
Same here about a month ago.. they are one of those bands that come along every so often and you just can't stop listening to them.
Been listening since the beginning n can't stop listening. 🤘💀🤘
It brings tears.
i miss alpha and omega... they all played off one another so well..
I like when he switches is vocal range.
papa sings so pure and clear
the high notes at the end are on point!

I was a bit worried about that song, but it was awesome :)
If you see them play this song live in person you'll understand. It's a beautiful experience. ♡
