Gotta give TF props as an actor. He comes in as himself, possibly worried that something might have gone wrong shortly before their show, and then as soon as he realizes there are cameras on him he goes right into character and starts cracking lame jokes as the Cardinal. Say what you will about him and Ghost, but the dude has a clear vision and mad talent.
No, this was clearly completely setup. You really think Tobias would cool with random people videotaping backstage? Very unlikely. I think his response would be a lot different. Not to mention, most artists don't have random, surprise backstage tours and Ghost is a way more mysterious band.
@@Kyprioth071 obviously this was set up beforehand, given that he’s mic’d up, but I don’t think he knew it was happening at this exact moment, and my reasoning for that is, when he first comes in and asks “what’s going on here?”, he’s speaking in his normal voice, not the “Ghost” voice. And then as soon as the guy says “oh we’re just giving a tour”, it seems to click to him that, “oh yeah they’re shooting a video” and you can hear him go into character. My comment wasn’t about how he didn’t know this was supposed to happen, more a compliment that he could go into character so quickly.
@@Kyprioth071 as an actor who goes to an actual theater to act, people film backstage all the time. its not uncommon. and the show was about to start, the mic is probably off but ofc he'd have it, hes about to be on stage
I still feel that Papa Emeritus III is my favorite lead from an aesthetic standpoint, but Cardinal Copia is just an absolute blast to be around. He's having fun knowing you're having fun.
I think the comedic/parody aspect of Ghost actually solidified my stance as a fan. Their music is undoubtedly killer. However, their dedication to their theme and characters is worthy of respect, in my honest opinion.
It blows my mind how used the other 2 guys are to the Cardinal and his shenanigans. They barely even break a smile, they're not even really amused and we're all just blown away by the slightest shift in character. I bet Tobias runs a tight ship from the looks of things. That or the guys are just really focused.
That Jesus joke is one of the most stupidly hilarious god damn things I've ever heard in my life. I revisit this video often just so I can hear it again and die.
Tobias is like a different person when he uses that mask and costume. I use to watch his interview as Tobias. He is a cool, serious, and laid back person, but he becomes the opposite as cardinal copia.
Holy crapp, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this and clicked so fast! This is so awesome and a big new step! It's great to see the back stage and Cardinal doing his tour. This is very rare and so special!
If GHost ever appeared on SNL as the Musical Guest and Tobias did a few SNL Skits as The Cardinal not only would it be a Rocking show but people would get a lot of laughs
ah yes, the awkward rat man himself god I love Tobias and everything he does with this band and his characters. also nice seeing someone from the crew again! thank you for this very charming video
@@momsurfing ahaha trust me, I think Tobias feels just as awkward when giving interviews as himself. for what it's worth I'm sure you were doing fine at the meet & greet :)
Tony Kennedy I know that. I can see that. I mean like in depth what amps they’re modeling and what fx’s they’re modeling. Possibly some studio stuff. Any actual pedals running into the Ace Fx’s. They still rocking the Dunlop strings? Etc. In depth like that.
Phlebotomists R US If you can say Cardinal Copia is singing the song then you should be ok with saying that Papa Nihil sings it. Otherwise, just say it’s Tobias.
Saw these guys in Sioux Falls, SD the other night, unreal show. Seriously the best lighting I've ever seen at a concert, and the band rocked my ass off
Best live show of any band out there today! Amazing band and amazing music! Copia is the quintessential front man and the Ghouls and Ghoulettes are very talented and fun to watch!!
Tobias, thank you [and the Ghouls]for all the great music [and the laughs]. So needed; now, more than ever. It has been so long since a band has awakened this old soul and helped me to fight on. And in this US election year, I know, I'm not the only one!
Its so cool he created that character it’s like when you see him in the clergy vids and meet him in real life it’s like meeting your favourite fictional character 😂
Pretty cool seeing a bit of what goes on backstage. Saw them in September, best concert I've ever been to, and I'm 13 years older than Tobias so that's impressive.
Yeah, at least I know them as: Lead Guitarist - Dewdrop / Ember Back up Guitarist - Aether Bassist - Rain Male Singer/Tambourine - Swiss Drummer - Mountain Shorter Ghoulette - Cumulus Taller Ghoulette - Cirrus
Love you guys from PDX on the 16th, thank you from me and thank you to Sirius XM amd Howard Stern for the reason I could get the tickets for me and my best friend to our first concert. Keep rocking out mate. Portland needs more of it.
Remember when you wanted to see all of the behind the scenes world into ghost back in the day? And now you're getting it, now you kind of wish you didn't.
I wish they would have shown us the guitar rigs more. I'm sure the guitar techs operate all the pedal effects for the guitars because I never see pedals on the stage or the guitarists stomping on any. Must be nice!
Mister Road Ghoul, He Is, Tour Management Security. I had 10 tickets for the kids, we took up nearly 2 rows of seats @ Indiana Indianapolis show. Well; the drive was nearly 8 hours from Daytwah MI I said "Im going to knock on the bus door!" LOL.....Seems my voice caried and The Road Ghoul was on it like white on Rice. I looked @ my famalam and fled. Way to go, Me! 😨😂
I love how Cardi seems so much like a dad who's trying to be cool around his kids friends
Truest statement on RUclips
I love that too 😂
I like how in an interview he said his kids think the gimmick is lame now. XD
@B Ulrich Cardi C
Dang I never seen it like that. But yeah that is what I usually do. Cardi did it much cooler

As an actor/stage manager, this is super impressive. I’m jealous at how fast TF can just slip into character like that (both vocally and physically).
It's pure talent 🙌
I love how the Cardinals accent slowly came in through the first couple sentences.
Don't think Tobias was expecting it. Lol funny stuff.

Tony Clifton of rock.
I love how at around 1:49 you can practically see TF shift into being Cardinal Copia.
He literally rebooted his system to the Copia persona
The TF voice coming From cardinal is unsettling
I noticed that too!
At 1:49 you can hear him out of character for a moment before he realized the cameras were rolling lol. “What’s going on here?”
His little voice haha
He's so awkward AND makes dad jokes? I love him lol
"He makes us happy"
You mean just like YOU make ME happy, Cardi.
❤️
Who wants Carpool Karaoke with Tobias or the Cardinal. This dude looks like Corden
gmasterg13 I’ll would definitely like to see that happen.
I doubt it would happen.
The satanic panic of 70's & 80's really damaged people's views of such stuff.
He sounds like Corden too.
Yessssssssss to carpool karaoke!!
Yes!
Cardi making your mom joke😂😂 would love to see more behind the scenes! Without the crew/stage hands there wouldn’t be a show😊
Well said. I worked with lighting, Bandit lites. 🤘
Bruh tobias is legendary lmao the voice change and the your mothers ass joke🤣
"have fun- smoke pot"
a man after my own heart
Gods i love when you get a behind-the-scenes but everybody’s in character
1:50 TF wasn't in character yet.
Did he switch from his regular voice to his Cardi C voice?
LOL I noticed too. He made a quick change from his normal voice to Cardi C accent.
Haaa, he did! That's funny.
It was utterly adorable
I like how this Cardinal has the awkward charisma which actually works really well when he doesn't expect the camera lol
Holy crapp, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this and clicked so fast! This is so awesome and a big new step! It's great to see the back stage and Cardinal doing his tour. This is very rare and so special!

@@Braindead1595 i froze and then i hugged him :-)..i felt like such an idiot :-)
You have been blessed to have exchanged words with the Cardinal. A great gift was stowed upon you.
Sacred and profound
Now all we need is a in depth Rig Rundown.
Yes, a detailed rig rundown would be so nice. We must all demand the guitar mag dudes to get on it at once.
Hagstrom guitars into Fractal AXE-FXIII and AX-FXII's modellers

Alexskywalkerr I can tell you one thing. They’ve been using Ernie Ball strings for the past year for both guitars and bass.
@@DeathStarGuitars Fractal Crunch model and the Fractal model of an Orange amp, not sure what IR's they're using, but I think that's pretty much it
“ Smoke pot” - Cardinal Copia
confirmation that mary on a cross is about marijuana.
the recording is sung by Papa Nihil. Although Cardi does sing it live. ;)
@@NuclearBubbleWrap no it's not, it's cardinal but they're trying to pass lore through..
Maybe tickle you internally means burning/smoking it, since all that happens internal to the joint/blunt?
We all thought he was saying "mary on a" but really under the mask its hard to hear.. what he was actually saying was "marijuana on a cross"
Phlebotomists R US If you can say Cardinal Copia is singing the song then you should be ok with saying that Papa Nihil sings it. Otherwise, just say it’s Tobias.
lol “oh you’re coming with me?”
Please don’t ever delete this amazing video 😭
Just dl it for yourself!
Saw these guys in Sioux Falls, SD the other night, unreal show. Seriously the best lighting I've ever seen at a concert, and the band rocked my ass off
Caught him off guard for a second 😂
Best live show i have ever seen. Seen papa 3 twice and Cardinal Copia once front row every time. I am getting chills just thinking about it.
“How he rode in on an a*s? Your mother’s a*s?” / “Have fun, smoke pot.”
PAPA IS JUST SO - 😂
Seems like going backstage is like going into a whole different world.
I was at this concert in Moline. It was so awesome. Went from never heard of them to big big fan.
Thanks cardinal, I obey your command. All the pot will be ours.
Gotta love Tobias
Cardi C did that joke better than Family Guy
Cardi C 😭
Hes so lame i love him
I do too. 😭
Oh wow thank you more ghosts backstage moments please and more cardinal copia funny banter he always makes me laugh :)
Did Tobias just make a family guy joke? Fuckin legendary
This band is so much fun! TF is a genius. NEMA
Smoke pot!😂
"Take care, have fun, smoke pot"
Hell yeah yeah 😈 surprised to not see the 7ft tall merch guy hanging out backstage lol
B5AudiS4 Billy is the best!
Billy! Billy is fucking awesome!
They put on an amazing show. I'm so glad I got to see them on this tour.
Nice! Papa Bless! 👏👻
(Cardi C continuously eating his feet, as per usual...but I thinks it's become a part of his charm... 😂)
Best live show of any band out there today! Amazing band and amazing music! Copia is the quintessential front man and the Ghouls and Ghoulettes are very talented and fun to watch!!
Can't wait to see them this Saturday at Exit 111! 🤘💀
The show was awesome!
Jesusical treats! Haha
That is fucking hilarious, just watched the Grammy red carpet interview and now this xD Love this character
Cardinal Copia Is the Waluigi of Ghost frontmen
I've never seen it so accurately summed up as this. you're exactly right.
Tobias went really quick into the Copia character
He clearly likes family guy 🤟
Tobias, thank you [and the Ghouls]for all the great music [and the laughs]. So needed; now, more than ever. It has been so long since a band has awakened this old soul and helped me to fight on. And in this US election year, I know, I'm not the only one!
Behind the stage where Swiss meant to fall
This was hands down the best live show I've ever seen. Ghost were absolutely amazing!!
He is Kevin, but we call him Jesus
:v
Its so cool he created that character it’s like when you see him in the clergy vids and meet him in real life it’s like meeting your favourite fictional character 😂
CC had that "What in the hell are you doing filming backstage" look about him.
Dad mode about to lose his shit look. 😆
When they first find the Cardinal it's 100% Tobias going "um wtf why u got cameras back here dood?"
5 seconds in and my favorite band just became my ALL TIME favorite band
You had me at smoke pot sir.
It was the jesusical treats line.... I lost it 😂😂😂
cardinal: "whats goin on here?"
"just a little tour for everyone"
"... aight."
🤣
i would love a chance to actually see them set all of this up
Omg the sticker by the guitars 🤣
ive been waiting for this!!
We need more of this! Awesomeness.............
well, that was indeed just a peek and nothing else.
I'll take it!
I’m losing my mind this is so funny
Pretty cool seeing a bit of what goes on backstage. Saw them in September, best concert I've ever been to, and I'm 13 years older than Tobias so that's impressive.
Great video thanks!!! Hail the Cardinal
WE LOVE KEVIN IN THIS COMMUNITY ❤
Cardinal:
*come in*
...
*visible confusion*
I love this...I'm watching this video and my phone goes off playing "Rats"
Kinda sad the Ghouls don’t have names besides white/black guitar and bass Ghoul now
I mean they have fan names a lot of fans seem to use, Example being the lead guitarist (White pointed guitar) is called Fire/Dewdrop
Yeah, at least I know them as:
Lead Guitarist - Dewdrop / Ember
Back up Guitarist - Aether
Bassist - Rain
Male Singer/Tambourine - Swiss
Drummer - Mountain
Shorter Ghoulette - Cumulus
Taller Ghoulette - Cirrus
Stompy Ghoul is my favorite that's what I call him
Thicc Ghoulette, Multighoul, and White Guitar Sex Ghoul are my favorites.
Well they used to be named after the elements but there's 2 too many now for that to work lol
Tobias seems so different when he is wearing this mask.... he even has an accent
Cardi is the BEST thing on Earth 🖤🖤 I LOVE him
Definitely an Axe FX 3 in that rack... would love to get my hands on those presets :)
Seems like there was also an axe fx 2 below that. I wonder how thats all being integrated.
That Kevin is a cool guy
Hahahah!!! The Cardinal has Dad jokes 😂😂
Tobias speaks perfect English with no accent. He adds an accent as the Cardinal.
Smoke pot tonight Hahahahah I LOVE him he such a goofball!!!!
Looking forward to Leeds next month!
This is really cool considering I'm going to see Ghost in two days,in Youngstown,I can't wait
They did not tell him about this omg he was not prepared

2:40 You don’t even need to tell me twice Cardinal.
I can tell Kevin loves his job
As much as it was fun to watch the Cardinal try to pull some sort of an odd dad joke, I've gotta thank the tour guide. He did a great job.
I wish they would have shown us the guitar rigs more. I'm sure the guitar techs operate all the pedal effects for the guitars because I never see pedals on the stage or the guitarists stomping on any. Must be nice!
Damn you’re right! I just saw them live and was too star struck to notice, but now that I think about it I never saw them mess with pedals either.
he really doesn't need the antics, the music holds up so chill dirty
They were awesome in Fargo last weekend
Alright, now we gotta have a Ghost rig rundown now.
