I was there in Norwich last night and I agree with Ajaxrulz, they were amazing and the sound was fantastic live. You have to appreciate the recording device used by the poster is never going to be able to capture the depth of sound from the live audio system. Many thanks to Fabrizio for posting and giving us all a chance to relive a great gig. Go see and then judge for yourself. I would see them again in a heart beat,
The bassist from Repugnant is skinny, but the new Ghost bassist is really tiny, very very thin compared to the other guys... (look at his/her shoulders !!!). On repugnant videos he's skinny but built approximatively like Tobias... I don't think it's a girl (not female hands and way of moving) but I'm not sure it's this guy from Repugnant, even if it would make sense for Tobias to pick musicians in one of his previous bands...
I know it has been said that the whole line-up changed, but couldn't this guitar player (Aether, black guitar) be the old "Water"? he played guitar on the US popestar tour last fall, after Omega left the band, and I don't see any big difference between this guy and him... what do you think about it?
Yeah. Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing them in Oakland, CA on July 5th. Now that they are all new, I think I'll pass. I really wanted to see Megan Thomas (bassist) play. Oh well.
Ok so I'm a new fan (like a month or so into Ghost) pretty sure i've heard recordings of various ghouls and honestly like this, the sound is still the same sound that made me like them, but this show is the first time I've seen so much aggression from the ghouls and it's fucking awesome, I dunno if they were really feeling it that night but if this is how they perform then I honestly think they should be kept, brings the live performance to a new level in my opinion (Enough that I actually want to see them live! not many bands get me out of bed like Ghost have haha)
What would be funny is if they're using this to kick Papa III out later. When Papa IV enters Alpha and the rest return. Ghost is all about theatrics and a move like that wouldn't surprise me.
Charles Ledezma You do realize that Papa 1-3 are all the same person right? They might be about theatrics but Alpha and Omega both have their own projects now.
Carlos Salgado hahaha. as a Ghost fan since 2010, yes, I know. lol. But in some interviews SG said members leave and sometimes come back. I think it was one of the Loudwire interviews. So it's not far fetched to think that Alpha, Omega, Water, and the others felt like leaving to start their other projects while Papa and (hopefully) stand-ins take care of the final tours with Papa III. And maybe come back so they can keep the anonymity they wanted in the first place. It's just my own theory.
Charles Ledezma I really hope that happens. When Omega left last year I was really hoping he would return afterwards, thinking that maybe he left to take a break or something. But after seeing SG's comments on his last interview and what Martin said on the video I have little hope for any of the guys to come back. I guess the good thing is that we will have more good music coming from all the guys. I don't really like MCC but Alpha's project sounds really cool, and I hope Ghost can keep on making great stuff :) Anyway these guys' music is really special for me and I'll be forever thankful for that
Carlos Salgado Honestly, I think a couple of members will return after the next tour. (Especially Alpha.) Who knows, maybe Alpha and some of the other guys are already recording the new Ghost album and when they tour for the new album, they'll kinda slide back into their spots hoping fans won't notice. Really hoping that's the case. Either way I'll always be a Ghost fan.
Charles Ledezma I really hope that's the case too. The new ghouls look like fun performers, they just need some more practice on the songs. Im sure all the shows will be great. People just need to stop bitching and hating on Papa blaming him for everything. No one knows what actually happened behind the scenes
even though i dont give a shit abt whos behind the mask i love the new ghouls! their energy, their movements, the way they 'talk' to each other i love it all
Why are people upset about the new member lineup? Honestly they still sound great! I wouldn't be disappointed to see them live with this batch of Nameless Ghouls at all. And maybe they seem a little stiff I'll admit. But they're new, it might take a minute for them to loosen up. Stop being dicks. Stop acting like you had a connection to the last ones. As long as the music sounds good, there isn't a problem
They may seem pretty off during the first couple of songs, but they got so much better as the evening went on! It was one of my favourite concerts in all honesty. I'd love to go see them again : )
My question is why were the Ghouls fired?? I'm still a Ghost fan and always will be. These new Ghouls bring new life to the band. They'll tighten up as time goes on.
This reminds me too much of when KISS put Tommy and Eric in the Spaceman and Cat makeup. The knockoff RDs and even some of the antics just scream replication. I know people will scream til their blue in the face that it isn't about the members, but when all those members who created the band leave, that fundamentally changes the identity and sound of the band. I'm excited to see them open for Maiden this summer but I'm really hoping they sound a little tighter by then.
shastatikipunch69 I feel you man. I was always a big kiss fan, and the whole tommy and eric thing still to this day kills me. I've loved ghost for ever too, and they've been my main band for years, and I feel the same way about them too. These new guys, although probably good, will never be ghost, because ghost was great because of the chemistry these guys formed from playing 20 some odd years together.
Deal with it, and for christs sake give these guys some time.Im going to se them this thursday and i am exited as hell, just as iw as with the original line-up.
nah dude, he seems like too much of a big shot. in the past when there'd be a new ghoul on board, people would always be assuming it to be some kind of big name when really it'd be someone from the swedish scene. I also heard that this new guy didn't actually play his keytar solo live but instead they had a backing track do the job, and it just seems like a dude with as many decades of stage experience as wakeman would've managed that
So you say you don't like Ghost because of the new band members.. Well I question would you know the difference without knowing the identities before hand and someone telling you they are different? In a way a Schrödinger paradox is at play here. Because without anyone telling us otherwise the people behind the masks would always be the same. Which was always the intent anyway.
Saw Ghost with the Classic Lineup before Martin left in 2015 was amazing.Also saw them with this lineup in 2017 opening for Maiden always great but it pisses me off every other day some new wanker is in the bandl! This is a song for Masons worldwide ya wankers lol!
I don't care if you are the one who writes all the music Tobias. How can you fire such a great lineup? I guess Alpha and Omega were taking some of your spotlight so you got rid of them. Along with the rest of the band. He's the modern day Axl Rose.
WTF is going on here? I guess Papa 3 pulled a David Coverdale after the "1987" album, which coincidentally turned out to be their last good album. Hopefully the same won't be true with Ghost.
Dude this sucks. They used to be one of my favorite bands. I had a weird feeling Tobias was gonna do this one day but damn it still sucks. I'm gonna start saying Tobias because this doesn't seem to be ghost anymore
New drummer has unnecessary fills, both guitarist are weak and can't play the huge string gauge the previous ones did(in fact, guitars sound muddy as fuck) and they also twisted the solos, keyboard player can't play the solo in mummy dust so he has playback...and papa, well he forgot what a falsetto is 4:08
Not the Ghost I know! Not the members I got use to seeing. Papa may be singing.......but without Martin & Simon this is NOT Ghost. Sorry Papa but you need to pull your head out of your ass! WHO THE HELL manages this band? If they were smart they would of said, Sorry but Martin & Simon stays, they are too important to this band!!
Bewitching Charm I think that often with success comes more and more pressure and that sometimes you just have to get off the bus. I hope that this is the case for alpha and Omega and that they were not sacked or forced out.I was there last night and they were great. The real proof will come with the next album.
Graham Hall Apparently Tobias kicked the whole band out (No Simon, Martin, Drummer, Bassist/Rhythm replacement, even the new bass chick, and sadly the keyboardist too :(. This went down in February
The new lead guitarist always sounds weird to me, there are videos you can see him doing wrong chords. Well lets give them some time, they will adapt, i hope so.
There not nameless one loser already came out and sais hes the keyboardist he used to be,get this in "korn" his names zac flair or just type in korn nameles ghoul and they sound horrible btw.jus sayin.
Fabio Barresi have to disagree. I was at Norwich and he did just fine. I have a feeling that they've been told to cultivate their own stage personas and specifically to not to try impersonate the previous ghouls..
You do realize that the 'kick' is part of that guitarists on stage persona from his other bands? Both guitarists are from other really good bands and have over a decade of touring experience?
I was there in Norwich last night and I agree with Ajaxrulz, they were amazing and the sound was fantastic live. You have to appreciate the recording device used by the poster is never going to be able to capture the depth of sound from the live audio system. Many thanks to Fabrizio for posting and giving us all a chance to relive a great gig. Go see and then judge for yourself. I would see them again in a heart beat,
Spook Fish I was there as well and thought they were terrific.
Saw them in London last night....
Recorded footage does not do justice to how awesome they were!!
Thanks for posting all these videos so quickly! I have been waiting to see the new Ghouls.
Beginning of a new game, "who are behind the masks?" ;-)
DidBass74 I barely dont even care.
Zac baird old keyboardist from korn already told everyone.He was bragging look it up.
Im so glad i dont follow twitter for that matter, the only one i know about who left is martin.
The bassist from Repugnant is skinny, but the new Ghost bassist is really tiny, very very thin compared to the other guys... (look at his/her shoulders !!!).

welcome new ghouls 🤘
pretty sad the old ones left 😭
Emeritussi who is new member?
Joseph Klein it sad but every ghoul is new only papa not of course 😐
they didnt leave he fucking fired them lol
Yeah. Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing them in Oakland, CA on July 5th. Now that they are all new, I think I'll pass. I really wanted to see Megan Thomas (bassist) play. Oh well.
Yes! She was such a cute little ghuleh!

The way Papa appears is masterful
Thank you for uploading this!
Think I was stood a few people ahead of you. Best night ever, met Tobias after this gig :D
Oh wow I remember you! :D I was the tall blonde guy haha
Damn I didn't know so many people were pissed at them! I'm going to see them in 2 days.

viper 71 No one knows if they were fired or if they left by their own, for any reason. It's just speculation!
Alguien me dice específicamente como se llama la canción de intro? por favor
Masked Ball
Are you guys saying it's totally all new Ghouls or just a few? Why did they replace anyone?
First show with the new ghouls! They did a great job!
This reminds me too much of when KISS put Tommy and Eric in the Spaceman and Cat makeup. The knockoff RDs and even some of the antics just scream replication.

sounds pretty rad to me.....a bit excited- but wouldnt you be if you were in Ghost?
great cover dude
I wish to be there :(
Possibility of Rick Wakeman being Air (keys).
He's really the only artist who uses four keyboards and sits while playing...
nah dude, he seems like too much of a big shot. in the past when there'd be a new ghoul on board, people would always be assuming it to be some kind of big name when really it'd be someone from the swedish scene. I also heard that this new guy didn't actually play his keytar solo live but instead they had a backing track do the job, and it just seems like a dude with as many decades of stage experience as wakeman would've managed that
I don't think Rick Wakeman would have had to use any playback tracks, I am sure he was one of Mauro's inspirations
He's not, someone already found out who the keyboard is, as the new Air actually said who he is himself
yes!!!!
Can somebody tell me name of the intro music???
Masked Ball
@@FabrizioPedrotti thank you very much bro.... First I heard this from 'fathers of iron' vintage bodybuilding
Papa @4:11
Marcus Bengtsson what the fuck happened over there? he usually never makes mistakes.
Fortunately for him, he is the only one in the band that can't be fired for live fuck-ups...
he should have singed a falsetto like on the record
I saw them open for Iron maiden recently and I thought they were brilliant.
So you say you don't like Ghost because of the new band members.. Well I question would you know the difference without knowing the identities before hand and someone telling you they are different? In a way a Schrödinger paradox is at play here. Because without anyone telling us otherwise the people behind the masks would always be the same. Which was always the intent anyway.
Saw Ghost with the Classic Lineup before Martin left in 2015 was amazing.Also saw them with this lineup in 2017 opening for Maiden always great but it pisses me off every other day some new wanker is in the bandl! This is a song for Masons worldwide ya wankers lol!
Que pais é esse?
muito foda tocan pacas
That frigging intro music is creepy as f*ck!
Per was already chomping at the bit to be the lead guitarist
Whats the name of this Intro
Masked Ball
bassist still the same girl from NA popestar tour? so sad if papa fired her, she was so cute haha
Song name in the intro?
Masked Ball
@@FabrizioPedrotti grazieeee
Bass player is sooo cute little boy!
Actually is a girl xDD
Creature I think you'll find she has gone as well.
She left the ghost. Or she was fired too :D
i miss the stomp... it very ghouls of ghost..
:'(
Ghouls, welcome but I can hear the difference!!!!!! And I'm not a musician! By the way a truly fan!
I don't care if you are the one who writes all the music Tobias. How can you fire such a great lineup? I guess Alpha and Omega were taking some of your spotlight so you got rid of them. Along with the rest of the band. He's the modern day Axl Rose.
Bill Crockett How do you know he actually fired them, and not that they went out by themselves?
Bill Crockett I was there last night in Norwich and they sounded great.
Could you tell me approximately what songs they played please?
Bill Crockett Alpha is credited with a shit ton of the bands writing, so I doubt its all Tobias
Fabrizio Pedrotti The lawsuit the band has against Tobias speaks for itself
Io c,ero 👍💪❤️
Thats a lot of dudes in that crowd
JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJJAJAJA, que hubiera sido de ghost sin eyes wide shut ni Jocelyn pook
Is this a pop band?
Kind of
Não é mais o Tobias cantando :(
I'm going to see them tonight...probably be the last time now Martin and Simon have gone.
45ounce just curious, how was it?
brave new ghouls
Tobias n his nameless fools !!
bye bye ghost
WTF is going on here? I guess Papa 3 pulled a David Coverdale after the "1987" album, which coincidentally turned out to be their last good album. Hopefully the same won't be true with Ghost.
MR G Most the new ghost album was already recorded, so these new guys will ride on the sucess a little longer
Wow too much hate directed to the wrong people .
I wonder if the bassist is a man or a woman...
I watched better, not a girl I would say ;-)
DidBass74 I was at this show and I'm pretty sure it's a female
Dude this sucks. They used to be one of my favorite bands. I had a weird feeling Tobias was gonna do this one day but damn it still sucks. I'm gonna start saying Tobias because this doesn't seem to be ghost anymore
Problem with that is...when they replace a Papa, it's still Tobias (or whoever), they just change the numeral in his title.
never felt so hollow watching ghost before; this whole debacle is just fukingwrong
New drummer has unnecessary fills, both guitarist are weak and can't play the huge string gauge the previous ones did(in fact, guitars sound muddy as fuck) and they also twisted the solos, keyboard player can't play the solo in mummy dust so he has playback...and papa, well he forgot what a falsetto is 4:08

Cry me a river.
We can see only in the new album is good or bad was this replacement.
Drop Box
Unless Alpha and the gang are recording the new album while they have back ups to fill in until they finish recording.
Graham Hall Apparently Tobias kicked the whole band out (No Simon, Martin, Drummer, Bassist/Rhythm replacement, even the new bass chick, and sadly the keyboardist too :(. This went down in February
This video should be named "Square Hammer (Ghost Parody)". It's not the Ghost I loved anymore.
Well bye.
Is it just me or do they sound... off ? It's awful.
axxar8 Whole new band besides papa, the actually ghost got in some disagreement with papa (Tobias Forge) and they went their own ways.
With such a heavy turnover with members, I wonder how many Ghouls are still Swedish? LOL
Thats the offkey and shitty fans who are ruining it
The new lead guitarist always sounds weird to me, there are videos you can see him doing wrong chords. Well lets give them some time, they will adapt, i hope so.
Well that sort of happens when you record a high fidelity sound system using a recording device that fits in a cell phone.
There not nameless one loser already came out and sais hes the keyboardist he used to be,get this in "korn" his names zac flair or just type in korn nameles ghoul and they sound horrible btw.jus sayin.
que voz péssima do papa !!
The sound is fine but the presence is gone. The Ghouls look pathetic specifically the Ghoul replacing Omega, he is awkward on stage.
Fabio Barresi have to disagree. I was at Norwich and he did just fine. I have a feeling that they've been told to cultivate their own stage personas and specifically to not to try impersonate the previous ghouls..
But honestly it seems like they're trying to force another gimmick so it can be as cool as Omega basically
Yeah his kick gimmick just looked completely embarrassing and forced
You do realize that the 'kick' is part of that guitarists on stage persona from his other bands? Both guitarists are from other really good bands and have over a decade of touring experience?
