Steven Flores saw them for the first time open for Avenged Sevenfold. We had no idea what we watched but the more I listened, the more I got pulled in. Easily the best stage presence of all of the Papas/Copia
Andrew Hassell it sure was! I saw them in Noblesville, IN. Looking back I feel bad that I did not knowing any of their songs, they are an incredibly talented group
Their live sound is BETTER than the Album versions, which is extremely rare. The thicker accent he adds more recently to his voice really makes their music appealing and unique. But I have seen them live, and their sound is amazing for a live band. They're probably the clearest sounding band that I've ever seen live, and I've seen a ton of them.
ShutInBoy hope darker sounding too. The theme of Prequelle is very dark being about the Black Death, but just too poppy for my hoping (Faith and Witch Image made up for it)
The Devil's power is the greatest one When his and hers holiest shuns the sun A temptress smitten by the blackest force A vicar bitten blind in intercourse The witch hammer struck her down On our Sabbath, she is unbound Tis the night of the witch Tis the night of the witch tonight And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him Tis the night of the witch Tis is the night of the witch tonight And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him All witchcraft comes from carnal lust Witches as in women, insatiable! A moon shown bright above her trial As flames ate through her body, defiled! The witch hammer struck her down Through our Sabbath, she is unbound Tis the night of the witch Tis the night of the witch tonight And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him Tis the night of the witch Tis the night of the witch tonight And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
I can't tell you how stoked I am your videos of this exist. By the time I found Ghost it was the Meloria album and I knew I'd likely never get to see their early stuff live. I was fortunate to catch Ghost A.D. in Fullerton cover Death Knell and I almost cried hearing the full power in person, it was so good.
Death knell Say, can you see the cross? Inverted solemnly A symbol for the goat Of a thousand young Six, six, six Evoke the king of hell Strike the death knell Death knell Say, can you hear the chimes? Tolls now for the end Bells call out our doom As victor reaches womb Sex, sex, sex Receive the beast of evil Of evil... Can you say his name? Carrier of the light Legions of his seed A child you a spouse will feed S-A-T-A-N Under spell of death knell Death knell
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say, but if you are implying that that means they are two different people, you would be completely wrong. The person portraying the character has and will remain the same (that's the plan anyway), and the fictitious character of Papa Emeritus will change.
Me too trying to find one. I think they use the RD Standard re-issues. The original artists had a floral inlay on the headstock and was full-scale. The re-issues from 2010 play more like a les paul with the shorter scale. WANT WANT!!
Well, actually this is Papa II, Papa I did both these songs on their first CD. Papa I had a bit higher voice. Papa II does a good job with the older songs though, but I think he's an older gentleman and has a bit lower voice.
OK, that makes sense, thnx for clearing that up. I thought that would be fucked up if they kicked the lead singer out after every album lol. A Ghoul was interviewed and said there would be another Papa for their next album and I was like, damn, that's cold lol. But I understand it's like a new Pope more or less. There have been shit tons of Popes but there's ALWAYS a Pope. Papas for different eras/albums I guess, pretty cool, plus the new outfit is way better.
So they pretend to usher in a new "pope" every album? Seriously don't know, one of the ghouls said next album there will be yet another Papa. I noticed their first album was pre antichrist and the last one was ushering in the arrival of the antichrist so different timelines different popes?? Am I getting close, seriously just new to the band, 2nd week listening to them, love them so far. I hope it IS the same Papa/Pope etc behind the mask. I wonder what he'll dress like for their next album
Not at all Anna...cant reply to you directly cause this new layout is fucking with me...but nonetheless, you are absolutely wrong, look at Papa I last performance video for proof
TheRealConcertKing Does guy sing live? His voice is flawless! He has to be singing live. Do you know the last time I heard a voice this KICK ASS was in 1980 something.
gudalpesanz Papa uses a synthesizer in his mic, as well as a backing track. The synthesizer amplifies his voice and make it sound like he's singing in a place with reverberating acoustics like a cathedral or something like it. Since the band mocks religion by personifying a negative version of it and is extremely intricate with their on-stage performance, a "cathedral sound" is what they were going for, for LIVE performances. Some people would call it "cheap", but to be completely honest, Ghost has the cleanest and sharpest LIVE sound that I've ever heard out of the many bands that I've seen LIVE. I actually wish that more bands would do it due to the gurgled mess that comes out of most of them while performing LIVE.
lol at 2:00 you can see a wrist band on the guitar player. do these guys really need fucking wrist bands? like some bouncer is gonna be like, "nah bro. this section is for bands only..."
You do know that in reality it's the same person, right? I can't tell if you're just making a joke about the fictional character or are actually confused.
That's the result of constant touring. Some nights are better than others and the toll it takes sometimes. Not everyone can perform flawlessly every night, especially lead singers
![Ghost Live at Graspop 2013 [Infestissumam - Per Aspera Ad Inferi - Con Clavi Con Dio - Elizabeth]](/img/n.gif)
My favorite Papa. He is much more scarier than the others two.
Yep, Papa II its the best
I can't wait for new music though, from our fourth pope! 😍
I love your pfp! DEPECHE MODE WOHOO!!!
Death Knell is definitely Tobias' best song; never heard a bad version of that.
I really wanted to see Ghost during this cycle
Steven Flores saw them for the first time open for Avenged Sevenfold. We had no idea what we watched but the more I listened, the more I got pulled in. Easily the best stage presence of all of the Papas/Copia
Jeff Wilson Was that the httk tour back in 2013? Saw them in Boston that year in October.
Andrew Hassell it sure was! I saw them in Noblesville, IN. Looking back I feel bad that I did not knowing any of their songs, they are an incredibly talented group
Best era of Ghost, Papa 2 was the best!
Crowd look like they're holding huge invisible orbs all the time. Love it!
that fill at 1:08 IS GODLIKE
I miss the more reserved Papa. It feels more authentic to me
Their live sound is BETTER than the Album versions, which is extremely rare.
The thicker accent he adds more recently to his voice really makes their music appealing and unique. But I have seen them live, and their sound is amazing for a live band. They're probably the clearest sounding band that I've ever seen live, and I've seen a ton of them.
Duuuuuude this is sickkk
I love this keyboard
Swedes rock the world as usual.
shame In Flames went the way they did. Imagine a Clayman-era IN FLAMES & Ghost touring!?
We sure do 🇸🇪 😉
This guy is awesome to watch , he has an amazing stage presence , and sweet voice 😀😀😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
The problem with being a Nameless Ghoul.....sometimes you just need to wear your wrist band, or some shlep won't know you're IN the band!
I really hope Papa IV will look more II-ish and evil
Edit: I really hope Papa V still look more II-ish and evil
well he doesn't
x2
Once he gets his skull paint, I think the Cardinal will look more imposing
ShutInBoy hope darker sounding too. The theme of Prequelle is very dark being about the Black Death, but just too poppy for my hoping (Faith and Witch Image made up for it)
Jeff Wilson those are the best two songs off prequellle
I hope the next Ghost album sounds like Opus
Bass player is fucking brutal….
I'm a bass player and that was the exact same thing I noticed XD
He's got balls and he stomps the shit out of that bass for sure, great musician, knows what his role is as a bass player….
DAMN Linton’s bass sounds stellar here.
i miss omegaaa😢
He was a boss for sure.
If I could travel back in time, I’d go here
5:11 Perfección vocal detected!!
That bass in Death Knell gives me a chubby...
6:24 I SEE THAT FINGER
😏
The look in Papa's eyes is absolutey haunting. Ghost until fucking death.
5:20 one perfect shot
The aesthetic of this show was top notch.
Saw them last night in Brooklyn. One of the best shows of my life-hands down.
The Devil's power is the greatest one
When his and hers holiest shuns the sun
A temptress smitten by the blackest force
A vicar bitten blind in intercourse
The witch hammer struck her down
On our Sabbath, she is unbound
Tis the night of the witch
Tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
Tis the night of the witch
Tis is the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
All witchcraft comes from carnal lust
Witches as in women, insatiable!
A moon shown bright above her trial
As flames ate through her body, defiled!
The witch hammer struck her down
Through our Sabbath, she is unbound
Tis the night of the witch
Tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
Tis the night of the witch
Tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
All I can say is that this band and show blew me the fuck away! One of th best shows I have ever seen bar none!! Cant wait to see them again!!!
at the end of death knell they didn't move anymore, they were like frozen. I have never seen such a great show element with less effort.
Great footage!! Well done!
I really love this show that you recorded...I can click play all for this show and it's like listening to a live album from them! Good stuff bro!
Death knell gave me the chills! Awesome performance 😈
SECONDO VOCALS OH MY FUCKING GOD
This is beyond amazing, period.
HOLY SHIT! man I love that organ at the beginning of stand by him
I can't tell you how stoked I am your videos of this exist. By the time I found Ghost it was the Meloria album and I knew I'd likely never get to see their early stuff live. I was fortunate to catch Ghost A.D. in Fullerton cover Death Knell and I almost cried hearing the full power in person, it was so good.
DIVINE
Death knell
Say, can you see the cross?
Inverted solemnly
A symbol for the goat
Of a thousand young
Six, six, six
Evoke the king of hell
Strike the death knell
Death knell
Say, can you hear the chimes?
Tolls now for the end
Bells call out our doom
As victor reaches womb
Sex, sex, sex
Receive the beast of evil
Of evil...
Can you say his name?
Carrier of the light
Legions of his seed
A child you a spouse will feed
S-A-T-A-N
Under spell
of death knell
Death knell
Yes, that and new Ghost are two of the best cd's I've bought in years.
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say, but if you are implying that that means they are two different people, you would be completely wrong. The person portraying the character has and will remain the same (that's the plan anyway), and the fictitious character of Papa Emeritus will change.
ALWAYS.....❤
The best papa. Hands down
Papa I and Papa II are the same person!!!!! Why don't people still know about it?
Exactly
6:20
I cried a little :.)
oh my god! Saint Nicolas, What happened to you?...
HAHAHAHA
It's great someone finally mentions Jethro Tull in relation with Ghost.
I also noticed live and watching live videos that there is a track or a person doing the harmonies on some of the songs.
Fuck i love that RD artist, i need one!
Me too trying to find one. I think they use the RD Standard re-issues. The original artists had a floral inlay on the headstock and was full-scale. The re-issues from 2010 play more like a les paul with the shorter scale. WANT WANT!!
Even with the air conditioning those lights would make them sweat like crazy. Those costumes would be reeking after like 2 shows.
I like the live version better than the record cause you can really hear that creepy keys part at the beginning
Thats my groove
Well, actually this is Papa II, Papa I did both these songs on their first CD.
Papa I had a bit higher voice. Papa II does a good job with the older songs though, but I think he's an older gentleman and has a bit lower voice.
Same man Tobias
Papa II is just a new costume. Originally it was prosthetics and makeup and now it's mainly a mask.
Best part @ 9:53
essa intro no teclado mds que dlç
I think he had a slight cold this night, he sounds slightly nasal and had no problems in the London concert
Back then they were creepy as hell,today they aren't so much
🖤
Papa is the god
❤️
look up the video of papa1's last performance where he hands the mic to papa 2
did anybody else recognize what a great bass player ghost has? He's by far not perfect but his playing is so badass, i dunno ..
Subvision, At The Gates, Opeth, Sacrosanct
donde consigo esa mascara esta bien vergas!!!!
Death Knell \m/
6:20 *swoon* XD
Exactly...
Oh say can you see by the darkness's light , soon they'll be singing that to the star flag , with black stripes 😀😀😀😀😈😈😈😈😈😉😯😯😯😯💙😎😎😎😎
On God, fr fr
6:02. That scream..... Lol
I'm guessing they won't do a lot of outdoor summer venues LOL, good point though, their outfits would be HELL outside in the sun.
if anyone has the piano sheets for these songs i would greatly appreciate it
OK, that makes sense, thnx for clearing that up. I thought that would be fucked up if they kicked the lead singer out after every album lol.
A Ghoul was interviewed and said there would be another Papa for their next album and I was like, damn, that's cold lol.
But I understand it's like a new Pope more or less. There have been shit tons of Popes but there's ALWAYS a Pope. Papas for different eras/albums I guess, pretty cool, plus the new outfit is way better.
Where do I find the live version of stand by him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111
Right here?.
No I mean the beat in the live version is different in the beginning compared to normal
Hail e nois porra \m/
do they have any live dvd ?
message me back and let me know if ghost can make it over 30 years like KD/MF
sure! with the release of meliora and prequelle, i’d say they’re doing pretty good, their fanbase sure has grown ^u^
25 more to go
Was there an opening band?
and Jethro Tull.
it looks like he is staring into the camera , creepy
So they pretend to usher in a new "pope" every album?
Seriously don't know, one of the ghouls said next album there will be yet another Papa.
I noticed their first album was pre antichrist and the last one was ushering in the arrival of the antichrist so different timelines different popes?? Am I getting close, seriously just new to the band, 2nd week listening to them, love them so far.
I hope it IS the same Papa/Pope etc behind the mask. I wonder what he'll dress like for their next album
Hail Emeritus o/
Oh men, watching a video like this... I wish Ghost - their image, at least - stayed as bad ass as it was back then.... But life goes on, right? :/
The wrist band messes with the aesthetic of the costume. LOL!
Damn don't they ever get hot in those costumes??
Not at all Anna...cant reply to you directly cause this new layout is fucking with me...but nonetheless, you are absolutely wrong, look at Papa I last performance video for proof
The actual singer of Ghost has never changed, only the character he portrays...
TheRealConcertKing Exactly - his prosthetic mask has changed but that's all there is to it.
TheRealConcertKing
Does guy sing live? His voice is flawless! He has to be singing live. Do you know the last time I heard a voice this KICK ASS was in 1980 something.
gudalpesanz Yes, he does sing live. There is a backing track with the other layers of backup vocals from the album, though.
gudalpesanz
Papa uses a synthesizer in his mic, as well as a backing track. The synthesizer amplifies his voice and make it sound like he's singing in a place with reverberating acoustics like a cathedral or something like it. Since the band mocks religion by personifying a negative version of it and is extremely intricate with their on-stage performance, a "cathedral sound" is what they were going for, for LIVE performances.
Some people would call it "cheap", but to be completely honest, Ghost has the cleanest and sharpest LIVE sound that I've ever heard out of the many bands that I've seen LIVE. I actually wish that more bands would do it due to the gurgled mess that comes out of most of them while performing LIVE.
For me, they are our new Black Sabbath.
lol at 2:00 you can see a wrist band on the guitar player. do these guys really need fucking wrist bands? like some bouncer is gonna be like, "nah bro. this section is for bands only..."
What if they like to go in the crowd anonymously
I dont get the connection between KD and this band. KD is metal. I cosider this good old fashion badass hard rock
Worst Part Of The Video 10:32
I think it's mostly a mask
Yes but the new Sabbath album sounds pretty killer!
You do know that in reality it's the same person, right? I can't tell if you're just making a joke about the fictional character or are actually confused.
Bad Ass. However, I find sometimes the vocalist being out of tune and having a hard time sustaining the notes in pitch.
That's the result of constant touring. Some nights are better than others and the toll it takes sometimes. Not everyone can perform flawlessly every night, especially lead singers
Loads of backtrack unfortunately... but he still hits the notes VERY good live!
surprised someone could rip off King Diamond/Mercyful Fate so blatantly
Probably air-conditioned in there.
same themes, similar make up and upside down crosses....you know, the same old played out satan gimmick
I was the 666th like \m/
