Great video, but none of what you mention would matter if they/Tobias didn't write some of the most catchy, and well-crafted rock songs in the last 20 years. They stand out since Tobias is a brilliant songwriter.
2:40 THIS right here is why I love Ghost I have no idea about the fan base name, but I am one. I'm 51, devout lifelong metalhead - esp OS death, thrash. Also love music outside metal: goth, new wave, some punk. I've never in my life seen a more progressive band than Ghost. Maybe Rush, but I'd argue Ghost way better at ear worm songwriting & stage craft. 14yo daughter went to our first ritual in 2023. Easily in my top 5 shows ever
I really really hope i can one day meet Tobias and that we can just create something fun together. Whether it be a song or something else. Hes so incredibly talented
Great assessment of our beloved Ghost, Jon! Join the Ghesties! It's a cult for sure, but we knit little jumpers for our potato plushies, sometimes... so don't worry, it's not weird or anything :P
Ghost is neither pure rock nor pure metal. Its something inbetween and both at the same time. You can call them Rock, you can call them metal but you can't say that they are neither^^
I love the band, and the theatrics. The Nu-Fandom is an absolute cancer though. TikTok brought in the worst, and cringiest people into the fandom. The Ghost fandom was in its prime during Meliora.
Lol every time I think they've reached their saturation point I'm proofed wrong. They manage to stay true to their unique sound while still earning the variations that make them progressive
I never really liked ghost or followed them then met my best friend and no its just us fanning over these guys (i just learned con clavi on bass :]) will be sad to see copia go but its for the best right?
Really? That's what I enjoy MOST about Ghost. Finally an amazing songwriter who also understands Christianity backwards-forewards - but more importantly: Christian POV on Satan backwards-forewards, incl exactly which buttons to push. And the best is yet to come: one nervous evangelical parent complains to large evangelical org, & Ghost blows up
As a Christian, you are not Tobias Forge's target audience, and he wants to make you uncomfortable. Maybe listen to the lyrics a bit closer, and see what he's saying about religion in general, and why he's got such a problem with it. You might learn something.
@@The_WaveI think Tobias Forge is taking the piss out of *all* religion, and the underlying message to a lot of his songs is simply "think for yourself". Which is hilarious, since he's started a bit of a cult of his own!
You forgot to mention another reason: their music and songwritting are top tier.
Yeess 😊
Factsss
They have a balanced sound, which's neither too designed for some greater audience nor too deviated from their metal roots.
There's so much thought behind EVERYTHING which is always gonna flash me . Best rabbit hole I ever fell into
It was an awesome interview, watched it a few times (I'm 44) Tobias is amazing! Going to see them in concert in October 😍😍😍
Saw them in Cincinnati. The show was epic I'm definitely coming back anytime they're near me again.

Completely agreed!
Ghost is my favorite band!

GHOST is RUSH level talent.

Nice breakdown! Gonna go listen to Ghost now 🤘

Idgaf what ANYONE says, this band is top tier
I love the old school sounds they pump out, I love their hard songs, and their soft songs. Ghost is fucking amazing
I love gonst
Definitely think your interview with him is one of the best ghost interviews with the best vibes!
Impera could probably be considered a "Rock opera" album, like Queens "A Night at the Opera" album.
Why is it an issue that a band doesn't fit neatly into a genre box?
Its like metal abba with a black sabbath twist
Expertly said
@@jonthewigglesgreat video . Everything you said was spot on . Love Ghost their music, songs and theatrics ❤
Mhm.

Banda MAGNIFICA. TOBIAS É LINDO A BATERIA E FANTASTICA. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👄👄👄👄👄
Awesome video
Did you have another channel that got suspended or something? The quality is so high that I’m shocked that you have so few subs. Great video!
Oh no this is my primary channel! I'm just getting started is all, trying to improve with every video :)

They play rock music
As a Christian the only thing I can't stand or dislike about them is the satanic nature, a few bad covers and the upside down cross, brilliant band
I tend to think they are taking the piss out of Satanism, like a joke.

@@The_Waveno they’re making fun of religion, not just satanism itself.
