I deleted my comment. I didn’t wanna spoil it for anybody. Good night 😴
I just subscribed and I put the notification bell on. Raz excellent video on GHOST! 🤟🤘✌
Hunters Moon is not on the OST of Halloween Kills, it was only played over the End Credits. When a producer contacted hm to write a song for the movie Tobias told him he already had few songs that might work, but one song stood out that would work for that specific movie.
Link expired can you repost it
great but ghost is pop
I like how Tobias is dressed as a nameless ghoul in every interview instead of the actual ghouls.
He is ghost no one else that’s why he fired the old members
@@dannydavideos8106 He likes to think he's ghost*
Even if he says "no one cares about the band members, just the lead singer" (paraphrased, but you can look up the real quote) it's still not true. Tobias alone doesn't make ghost, he has help from others in writing the songs and playing live (arguably ghost's best quality) relies on the other band members*. This attitude that "he is ghost" is the one thing that really hurts this band for me, I don't like the way he pushes aside the work of others in "the name of the band". Masking the ghouls is fine and adds a lot to the band, pretending they're just mercenaries to make the show go on is ridiculous.
* Yes the other band members are paid for their work, it, in my opinion, does not make them any less part of the band then Tobias
@@tobysmith5948👏🏻 I almost totally agree with you bro ✌🏻
Well he is ghost
@@tobysmith5948Tobias has also said that Ghost is a solo project, and always will be, but I do agree the Nameless Ghouls help with the live shows a ton
I'm never getting over Terzo and his damn kazoo
Fr
If u woulda told me before ghost that there would be a rock song playing a KAZOO, I WOULDA SLAPPED U SILLY. AND YET HERE WE ARE.. only GHOST could pull that off. And be cool.
@@andrewstaub5378 Absolutely 💯
i was trying to not to laugh lmao
@@andrewstaub5378 Jimi Hendrix, Crosstown Traffic!!!
His fucking kazoo killed me

Recently discovered Ghost and this was the best lore video I’ve seen. Nicely done!
Me too! They seem to cover all my musical interest. The best thing is it is just a great idea that took off!
New to Ghost too. USA radio doesn’t play it. Heard it first from a Canadian K-Rock out of Kingston Ontario 105.7. Needed this metal/theatrical injection in my life. I’ve been taking in the catalog ever since my first listen of Call Me Little Sunshine. I dig what Tobias has created. Mystical Metal. It’s his. He owns it. Glad to be a part of it.
Same I also saw this video after discovering Ghost
Yes same here, they performed in nearby Austin recently and I wish I had seen them. Hopefully they come by San Antonio sometime.
I would love to see them in the states. If anyone from the band sees this they should play in a big music festival in Louisville Kentucky called Louder Than Life. A lot of beginning bands as well as foreign bands play in this. I personally love this group. I would love to see them in person.
I began listening to ghost after Mary on a cross became popular. I searched up ghost, watched some concert videos and lore videos and I was obsessed. They’re literally my favourite band ever now omg
Couldnt relate more

@@dgkreidee And?
@@dgkreidee be happy that Ghost is getting popularity it deserves! We should welcome new fans
Big Ghost Fan here. This is a very well-made documentary and one of the most comprehensive and accurate videos I have watched so far. Great work!!! 👍👍👍😎
Thank you!
Facts!
Im a new ghost fan, so I wan trying to find a good video with most if not all of the lore, so this is very good to know!

I'm about to turn 37 and Ghost is the first band I have been excited about since I was in highschool.
Wait… you were in highschool in your twenties?
@Carl Gunderson Oh fuck i am dumb
@@whoopwhoop6000 In the twenties! We'll be grabbing 'em all by the hoo-has!
Ha! 😈 I am 66, and Ghost is the first band I have been excited about since I was in high school! They are the first band I ever had at shirt for. I have 6 👻😈
Right? Like we had KoRn Slipknot Disturbed Lamb of God… and then blah blah blah until now.
With every controversy, every setback, every tragedy, and every shot Papa takes, Ghost just gets better and better. A quarter-way into it, they've got my vote for band of the century.
Fun fact! During the dismissal of Terzo (when he was dragged off stage), the ghouls didn't know that would happen; hence why they all look very confused and why one of the ghouls chased after him LOL
Call me little sunshine is an amazing song. It’s the song I discovered them through on a metal mix from Apple Music. I was working in a welding shop in my little corner I would crank up my stereo so everyone in a 10km radius would be forced to listen to metal. I just fell in love with that song. I started downloading every album and single. Watching RUclips videos like this one. I love the originality of Ghost. In an era of. Us if where everyone just copies what’s already been done Ghost took it all and made it their own in a way never done before and it just works. Sooooo good.
ghost is great, but certainly not metal. 😉
@@meixo9083 Back to reddit with you mate.
Their last album is def not their best, but the sound and production is good.
Metal while welding metal 🤘🤘
@@meixo9083Most modern metal is trash anyway ,it’s a good thing
My wife only recently heard about this band from one of her students. she likes little sunshine and mary on a cross. this video did a way better job than I ever could at explaining the lore to her....cheers
Spillways and griftwood are absolute bangers in the new album
Tobias and Matin were the ones who started Ghost. To me it always seemed like Martin just wanted to play. He left from the inside fighting. Martin is my favorite Ghoul. He always put on a great show. Magna Carta Cartel with Martin singing is great. The rest of the Ghouls seemed like they were out for money. Great video.
Martin didn't start ghost, Tobias did and martin offered himself as a guitarist to Tobias according to man himself
@@tommyforghe8709 without Martin Tobias would have been nothing.
I prefer the original lineup myself anything after that I can do with it or without it.
Martin left because he wanted to concentrate on MCC. He and Tobias are still friends as he's thanked on Prequelle. No one really knows why he left but Martin. Tobias is Ghost period. Respect for both.
@@lisamccoy6514 Martin left because they didn't want him in the band. The Ghouls and Tobias voted him out. MCC was resurrected not because it was his plan to reanimate the project, but because he finally had the time to focus on the band. They're not friends anymore, they respect each other and stay in contact due to business ties, but that's all. They're not enemies and there's no conflict, but it's like the relationship between a couple that went through a peaceful divorce.
The metal community is amazing. A man died being in his favorite place and we all came together and made sure he was taken care of.
As someone who’s only recently discovered Ghost, this video is a great way to get up to speed on everything that’s happened with the band in regards to how they started & their progression through the years to get to where they are now. Wish I would have discovered them back in the very beginning when they first came out, but better late than never, right? 😅🤘
I personally liked how a lot of their songs sounded old when they came out. Both in audio quality, and that they already sounded familiar
" Name is a pun. Emeritus is title when you retire, and when Pope retires? When he dies" - Benedict XVI: "Hold my holy wine"
TikTok blew up "Mary on a Cross" recently so they have even more fans
I barely discovered Ghost around 2018-2019 due to the meme of people comparing Square Hammer to Scooby-Doo and then my obsession only spiraled on from there. Ghost is and will always be one of my favorite bands, and it is a crime that I have yet to see them live.
This video deserves so much more views. Very professionally presented and insightful. As a HUGE Ghost fan there was some info here I didn't even know about myself- surprisingly!
same!
Ghost are literal shit
@@piercelawless2654 That's why you're wasting your time watching videos about Ghost?
@@SlasherPepper that's why I didn't waste my time watching it. I can click on it without watching it 🤣🤣
@@piercelawless2654 Yet, you're still here wasting time replying to comments, etc. etc. ;)
I bought "Impera" after hearing "Call Me Little Sunshine" on the radio. I love the songwriting and instrumentation. So few bands make throwback melodic hard rock like this anymore. Thanks for this video, I learned a lot. I'm here for Ghost's music, but the stage show, etc., are really cool too. I hope they have a long career with many more great albums.
Prequel or Meliora are way better than Impera tbh.
Bro i didnt even realize how many of their tracks i have heard prior to mary on a cross... Wow. Glad that their song became a hit and introducted/reintroduced a new way of fans. How lovely.
I've never heard of a band with a story line / lore attached to it... truly original
Twenty one pilots has lore 😍😍
*Cough Cough* Gorillaz *Cough Cough*
David fucking bowie
There are a ton. My favorite band lore is G.W.A.R.
@@NovatheFurry87 wow really?, I didn't expect these ones would have lore, but nice to know
dude died at the show and was at piece doing so. ROCK ON MY DUDE.
I wish I was a teenager when ghost was becoming new in America. This is my 3rd year loving them and I’m glad I found them. Their music rocks!
Ghost is one of those bands that is like "fuck, that is the coolest name of all time- why has there never been a band smart enough (that got big enough) to call themselves Ghost it feels like it should have happened well before 2010"
Forge was somewhat involved in a obscure punk band called ‘Onkel Kånkel’ in late 90s, and it was from this band he got the idea of anonymity. Their main man Håkan was unknown until his untimely passing.
I have an old Onkel kånkel record and they where pretty controversial back then. If you understand Swedish you'd know why in an instance. . But they were basically unknown to most people in Sweden. They even released a Christmas record that was hilarious to listen to. Not politically correct nowadays!
@@jonasedfeldt1127 Most kids in schools in 90s - early 2000s knew Onkel Kånkel (thnx to internet) - goes along with Björn Rosenström, Eddie Meduza and more - It's called genitalia rock and I belive kids will always listen to them (talking about 13+)
I believe i heard this one, Cp Åke in the late 80s ruclips.net/video/lqgs-FmKsms/видео.html
fan vad sjukt, hade ingen anning haha
it's so strange that Americans refused Ghost as being obscene but have no issue with vulgarity and tackiness such as Beyonce and Cardi B
In what world is Beyoncé vulgar and tacky. Also it was the satanic imagery that they didn't like. It was a stupid reason but North America was and still is an evangelical country. Even Liberal Christians in the States are uncomfortable with satanic imagery.
Plenty of stations and shops that refused to play or sell those songs / albums too.
its mostly because of the inflated importance that country places on christianity. no room for a theocracy on the global stage, im not sure how its still going that way.
Can’t group us all under one person Bud
Idk why, but at some point in the last 6 months "kiss the go goat" hit just right and im in love with the older albums.
I started listening to Ghost right before Impera came out and they've become the band that I kick myself for net hearing sooner. Their evolution from album-to-album has been nothing short of awesome to see. The original Ghost sound has its place just like the recent works, and they're all great. Ghost is art on all fronts.
Just recently discovered them. This documentary did an excellent job of filling me in so far. I love their aesthetic
I was at the make up show. Tobias has a bigger heart than anyone knows. True classy guy!!!
Love this documentary of Ghost. Its like a ride through timeline of the band.
Really shows critics don't know crap. Infestissusmam was incredible and by far my personal favourite Ghost album
Did u really spell that album name all by your self? Even spell check is lost.
Just discovered this band. It’s nice to hear a band make actual music.
Thanks for this introductory video.
@Beek Hock in da Hos so tell us oh great one....what is a good band?
Bet you got nothin
Yer mom is a pretty good band.
@@beekhockindahos2112 yer mom was great last night.
@@joebloe9901 she was in the Band Slam.
the lawsuit stuff makes me sad, tobias is such an amazing musician it's a shame he can't give his bandmates fair cominsation regardless of it being maily his creative prossess
My first ritual was just recently and I appreciate this documentary. Loving Ghost more and more.
Thank you for this! I am a new fan and I found it very hard to understand the eras and phases of the band, but after seeing this I was very informed. Keep it up! I hope more new fans of Ghost can see this video.
This is the best story of ghost I have seen. I thought I had seen everything but no, many infos and clips that are completely new to me. I am so glad this band exists, it made me excited for music again, something I haven’t felt in 20 years. ❤😮😊
Oof that hit close dude. Same here
I've seen Ghost 4 times, the first being back in 2012 on the Defenders of the Faith tour with Trivium and In Flames, I remember the crowd standing in silence and confusion, an awkward silence between each song.
That's when I fell in love with them, their first album is a masterpiece and not one song is skippable, I don't really listen to metal these days but they deserve their success.
Mary on a Cross is what introduced me to Ghost but Mummy Dust, Rats, Square Hammer, and Ritual is what got me to be a fan. Now their all I listen to in my free time!
“A nightmare have turned into a dream…now go party” I love Tobias so much
Found out about Ghost in 2019 and I’ve been a fan ever since but never really knew about them before this video so this really helped me out.
As somebody who got really into Ghost and also recently found out theires lore, this was well written. I appreciate how well together this was put
Tobias is a treasure. He puts in more work than any other artist. Truly.
James maynard Keenan?
This is what fanboyism does to a man.. Do you truly believe that?
The last album was written _completely_ by the pop industry assembly line with the exception of one song, which is an interlude. The majority of music is not performed nor written by him. There's a PR team. Designers. A massive crew. It's an industry, and Forge managed to withold the "gun for hire"-shitshow to the people involved until he got big enough to actually pay for it.
Ghost was a good band at one point, but to uphold that man to some extreme height when there are countless musicians that did more - with integrity - is ridiculous.
😂
I've fallen in love with the band for a few weeks now, and trying to catch up their songs, lores, behind stories and all. This was perfect, nice and clean to understand easily. Great job!
Wow, a beautifully made documentary of an amazing band! cheers
Would you consider making a doc on Opeth? That would be unbelievable....you would make a lot of us hardcore Opeth fans very happy!
Yeah. I’m not a big metal guy. But I love ghost. There songs are so melodic and I like the lore behind them!
You obviously don't know metal because Ghost isn't and has never been metal.
@@haywoodyoudome dope
@@haywoodyoudome the first album is very 70s doom metal lol
@@haywoodyoudome metal is broad as hell. of course it’s metal.
@Carl Gunderson Black Sabbath!?!?!?
Looove old Ghost. First album is so dark and doomy it sounds great. Lately I’ve found them to be a bit too pop sounding for my tastes but those first two albums are just killer 🤘
Same here. The first two were good 👍
For real, the last album was a bit too poppy but man the sound and tone in those early days are so good!
Strange, all ov them are too poppy. Even thee only their great track He Is is poppy as fak.
Oddly enough, I realized my intense love of doom metal through their first album. 😊
Great documentary with great footages of many important times for the band.
I could listen to your voice all day. Ghost songs literally haunt me, I wake up singing songs in my head immediately. I say that in the highest regards. Lv N Peace from New Orleans
This is an awesome video. They did a great job summing up Ghost. Tobias has a fantastic voice. I love all of their music! They have so many changes in each album. I can't wait to see them one day!
Huge Ghost fan. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for Tobias.
My introduction to Ghost was Dance Macabre, which I mistook for a SCORPIONS song. Went down the rabbit hole. As a theater kid, I love the fact that there's lore to the band lol.
Honestly, with all the boxes this band checked for me I'm shocked it took me so long to get into it. Very new to it and I love this video format. Definitely looking forward to bingeing your channel lol
I first discovered ghost after seeing their logo on George Corpsegrinder of cannibal corpse's shirt in a video, they had quite alot of buzz in the underground metal scene for the first few years but it wasn't until 2015 when I first heard 'ritual' off of the first album, I've been hooked since. What I do find funny though is the same blogs and tastemakers that raved about ghost when they were underground now hate them because of how popular and "commercial" they are.
I first saw Ghost open for Iron Maiden in Phoenix. Amazing and fell in love with them since then!
Very cool story. I love these guys. I'm 60 and a metal head. My 18 year old son asked me if I've ever heard of Ghost, and OMG we had an awesome time listening to them. The best part is when we found out that they will be in concert in August only 3 hour drive, so i guess we are going to see Ghost.
I LOVE WHAT THEY DID FOR THAT FAN'S FAMILY!! THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 MORE OF THIS IN THE WORLD!! PLEASE!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Nice work on this documentary! I thought it was really good :)
Thanks man!
@@Razbenari been following you for a loooong time. Glad to see you uploading again!
Sitting at work flipping through RUclips and saw this. Ghost can add me to their fanbase.
I will definitely check them out when they your in this area this Summer!
Patrick Wilsons colab with Ghost introduced me to them.
I'm hooked!!!!
Great video! My only gripe is the location where Terzo was dragged off stage and Nihil revealed. That was in Mexico, not Sweden.
Fantastic Documentary. Ghosts music is something I'll always hold close to my heart.
Great job putting this together mate, respect!
I found ghost 2 years ago and have loved them ever since, I saw them in concert last night and I am in this for life now!!!
You really did a fantastic job on this documentary, it's exactly what I wanted to see!
Just finished watching this in full, absolutely excellent work man! Some really insightful information into the band and their history. Tack 🤘
The story of Ghost always makes me excited and happy. Everything about it is so surreal, from the passing of Tobias' brother and their consistent raise in popularity to where they are today. All the hard work and emotion payed off in the end and it's so nice that a band like this got so much well deserved attention.
This was an awesome documentary. Thank you very much 🙂
Just learned of Ghost yesterday, and I am a fan already ❤️
You did an outstanding job putting this documentary together. Well done!!
Thanks for making this. I got into Ghost when I recently stumbled upon "Dance Macabre" and just got hooked. This video help bring me up to speed
I knew nothing about this band and I stumbled across your video. You did a great job with this video and explaining things I could understand how it would be a confusing and difficult concept to explain to a person like me lol. Because of this video I will be checking out their music thank you so much
Love the video, super comprehensive and detailed! My only gripe, and I'm being nit-picky here, is right at the start. Not sure if it's you or the video you got but the Ghoul doing the interview wasn't Omega. The Ghoul doing the interview has always just been "A Nameless Ghoul" and was later called "Special Ghoul" by fans
While I’m not a fan of their last album, the sound and tone in those first albums is so gooood and I would love to see them play live. It’s not just a concert, it’s like a whole play and it’s so interesting to watch. I like their whole aesthetic they have going.
If one really looks at Ghost's musical history with a critical lens, the first 3 albums are all a collective brilliant mixture. This type of lightning in a bottle historically happens collectively. Once all the ghouls left, the music really changed and that magic was gone. It doesn't sound or feel like Ghost anymore. Listening to the other bands that the ghouls where in you can here where the unique song crafting and progressions really came from.. Believe what you want.... But the songs are the facts ..... Everything post the members leaving, points to Ghost was a collective creative effort that is a now facsimile of what was once a truly unique band.
Yes! Agreed times a million. Ghost is no more pretty much. There's no comparison between the old and new,, so sad!
Very well presented and compared to other documentary channels, it actually features music from the band presented. Thank you for making it.
Ghost creates amazing music. I started listening to them in 2017 and went to my first concert two weeks ago with my kid. What an experience!
thanks for the video. really beautifully summed up and couldn’t be more proud to accidentally discover this great band. where was i before? my goodness
Hey bro, this is one of the most well put together documentaries I've watched in a long time! Not to mention the fact that I haven't known much about Ghost since I heard them play on WJRR in Orlando, FL back in 2017. But from the moment I heard Square Hammer, I have been a fan! Your video has helped me learn a lot about the band. And Tobias Forge seems like an awesome dude with a good heart! That's rare in the world anymore, sadly. Anyways, keep up the great work and you have a new sub! 😎
Best band in last 20 years....Easily!
I enjoyed this mini-doc quite a lot. I vaguely remember their apperance on Colbert & recognized a couple songs. It's really nice to see such talented musicians embracing Art Rock/Theatrical Rock. Their shows must have been amazing especially around Halloween/spooky season. Definitely going to check out more of their music. TY.
Art rock. That’s my interpretation I came up with and I’ve never heard anyone else use that term!! It was a term I gave my music 25 years ago!
They are definitely ART ROCK!
This was so informative, I've been a fan for a while but I've never deep dived into the band lore before just because it seemed so confusing and daunting but this was easy to follow so thank you 😊
I pity the people that don't get Ghost.
That narrator said "Popeye mur-eye-tis" so funny!
I just heard them for the 1st time.. never even heard of them.. love the one I heard... reminds me of my teen years!!❤❤❤
This was an awesome watch!! Thank you! I'm only now becoming really obsessed with their amazing sounds.
I've been looking for a good Documentory. I've found one :) Thank you Raz!
Very entertaining and well put together!
Beautifully done--thank-you!
Great work putting this together.
Love their sound. & their cover art is incredible, especially Opus Eponymous
thank you for this video good sir, I am recently getting into this band and this video provided excellent insight into the lore of the band. I love the connection to metallica as it is a band I grew up to my father playing in the car constantly. This doc has given me excellent insight to the band and I will continue to enjoy their music in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love it! Didn't know many things. Thank you, it's very informative and well made.
Incredible video. Been nerding out HARD on Ghost lately and this helped me understand a lot of the lore I find myself lost in. Thanks for this!
My brother is a fan which he turned my mom and dad into one. I’m always cruising with my dad and he’s ALWAYS playing Ghost I just know that’s going to be his top artist on Spotify at the end of the year 😂 but I saw them in February back in 2022 in Dallas but I feel like I didn’t soak in I was at a ghost concert. More and more my dad will play them and I caught myself a few time singing their songs and listening to them on my own and I myself became a fan. I see them this weekend again and I’m super excited it’s nice hearing some authenticate music 🤘👏👏
tanks for the video, i was searching for something like that, to know about the history of a band is one interesting Journey on the way from discovering ther music and later on loving it ♥️
This was great. Thanks for your hard work. I am gonna watch this again tonight
This is a very well put together documentary. Thank you!
Thank u sm for this video!💖
