We had a metal show in my town/state. And all that remains head lined it. And the next day a group of preachers went to the city council trying to get them to destroy their 2 year contract with the production company that's putting the shows together. All because there was "bad words" in the lyrics. Even though the town really benefited from it
I'm not saying I don't agree with the points made in the video, but I just thought the videos were going to be less opinionated. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought after the poll a few months back the vids were going to have kind of more of a nightly news vibe. Just thought I'd point that out, again I could be wrong, I don't quite remember the poll
Nightshade4120 precisely what I was thinking. Imagine the uproar if someone tried ban his church and religion. Ain’t enough to attack kids and live tax free.
Religion is a very oppressive concept in my opinion. I mean, they have you believe on faith alone and damn you to some form of hell for even something as simple as music? That is oppression.
Saw Ghost play when they came to my town last May. They're great performers. If this pastor doesn't like them too bad, it's not his place to tell people what they can and cannot enjoy.
I went to a Ghost show last week. It was my first one. I loved it! I’m a small guy. 105 pounds(Always been thin plus having kidney failure doesn’t help with my weight) and I’m about 5’3. I was about 6 rows from the front. When the band started playing, these guys behind me offered to crowd surf me to the front so I could see better because they saw I’m not very tall. I declined because I didn’t want to get hurt or fall on my arm I use for dialysis but I was very appreciative of the offer. People like this pastor think that we Metal fans are violent people. We aren’t. It was all love that night at the Ghost show. Me and some guys saved this chick from falling on her head while she was crowd surfing. I grew up in the church and still go today but I’ve never felt the love and respect for each other in a church like I do at rock and metal shows. That’s what this pastor doesnt(or refuses) to see.
casey brinegar Thanks! You(and everyone) should go see them on this tour. They put on a fantastic show! They played for 3 hours so be prepared to stand for a long time if you’re on the floor.
I weigh the same pounds and I'm 23 years old. I have marfan syndrome. I would love to go to a concert but I'm a chill guy and don't wanna be pushed around.
5thdquest Yup same here. I listen to a variety of music from pop to classical to rap and RnB to Metal. My last concert before Ghost was Taylor Swift this past summer. She was the best concert I’ve been too so far. Fantastic show. Other people I’ve seen are Linkin Park, Skillet, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson(not by choice. I was 9 and my mom had tickets so we went. She was good though), Christina Aguilera(same scenario as Kelly Clarkson) Camila Cabello(opener for Taylor Swift. She was also really good) and I think that’s it so far. I was supposed to see Five Finger Death Punch with Breaking Benjamin this past summer as well but I wasn’t able to go. I almost went to Slayers tour but I didn’t cause I didn’t have anyone to go with and I figured it would be a little too intense to handle on my own especially since I’m a small guy. Ghost was my first solo concert. I’ve always wanted to go to shows alone but I never did because I thought it would be weird but I honestly enjoyed it way more then I thought I would. I felt if I had dragged one of my friends along they would have brought my mood down. Going through kidney failure and seeing my friends in the center pass away has made me realize how short life is and sometimes you just have to say fuck it and do shit solo. Some bands I’d like to see in the future are Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Alicia Keys, Alice In Chains and Evanescence. Hopefully some day I’ll cross all of them off my list lol.
Behemoth was here in Texas this year I saw them live alongside slayer, lamb of god, testament, and anthrax. The best concert I’ve ever been to alongside Rammstein.
As a Christian I love Ghost, seeing a band like Ghost is no different than seeing a horror movie with your buddies, it's called entertainment for a reason.
We’re call to be not part of this world. Bands like Ghost are definitely apart of this world. I know it’s difficult, because I struggle to stay away from worldly stuff.
Poe's law though. Sometimes satire / parody just looks like extreme views. Personally it's no skin off my nose if Tobias is a Satanist or not. Most modern Satanists are atheistic anyway - we don't believe in an actual God or Satan (or spirits or the supernatural, etc). Satan is a symbol - for TST Satanists & Satanic Temple International, an inspiring literary character who stands up against arbitrary authority, even at great cost. He's the guy who brings knowledge, even if that gets him in trouble.
They're doing it to make fun of the Christian faith by worshipping it's enemy. It's satire because they're mocking the concept of God and religion itself.
Transmedal2 beg to differ.... Last time i saw manson..( 2 years ago) .. Half the venue was g9ne before he started.... I feel bad , but cmon man .. Marilyn....Be humble your a god in the industry!!. ..... Atleast, were.
@@benphillips3222 when a band is gone that means they are dead or not releasing music or touring at all. Reads like you just personly attended some bad show and its made you think on the down side. Not being on mtv or the radio 24\7 is not the end of a career. Becides all radio stations all play the same 90 songs that they get paid to play and mtv is mostly shows about rich kids crying soo mtv would be considered so different from its roots considered dead lol
@@ajalonzo2705 no sjws would ban them rather than voice his concern using the 1st amendment which is why he isn't trying to ban them in the first place
@@stickaround nahhh free speech prevents that. I really dont think its a problem unless someone acts on it, in which case they probably would even without hearing songs liek that.
@@stickaround okay yeah, no I think its dumb to blame bands for what people do. It's like, the music exists with or without people doing the things in the songs. If someone's gonna do something they hear in a song theyre already planning to do something. Like, no one decides hey I'm gonna be a neonazi today because I heard a song.
@Big Oof this is what I want someone who attacks for no reason. I am civil and some child who has to say such a crass thing sounds like a antifa member.
Saw a show last weekend in Vegas. Tobias gave a great speech about how things always change, and everyone goes through bad times. At the end, he said that no matter what your life gets better and you shouldn’t let one bad time destroy you. Idk about this pastor but I don’t think anyone who can give that genuine of a speech could ever be an evil Satanist.
@@Antonjlavey back when he was being protested all the Christians claimed that he was going to be the end of religion a cult leader and the fall of civilization as it was known etc etc & he's still going strong lol
I'm a Christian but even so I find many Ghost songs to be pretty good. I enjoy the music, their fantastic frontman and their clever lyrics but I look beyond the satanic image. As a guitarist I really like to play many of their songs, they write some seriously cool riffs...
themplar I don't even know how to respond to your incoherent rambling but I'm very happy with my life and with my relationship with God thanks. You shouldn't be so quick to judge others.
One time I was leaving a Cradle of Filth concert, and Christians were standing outside with gas masks on and picket signs saying we were going to hell. People were walking by and basically just flipping them off and ignoring them. I tell them, you're doing it wrong. So I walked up next to them on the hill and scream at the crowd " Jesus loves you!" in a metal voice and throw up my fist. And at least a hundred concert goers cheered and threw up the rock symbol. So then I yelled "Jesus saves you from your sins!" and got the same response from the crowd again. They were dumbfounded.
They were upset about Iron Maiden, Judas priest, and Ozzy Osbourne back in the 1980s too. It was a bunch of crap then, its a bunch of crap now. nothing wrong with Ghost. I say to the pastor don't worry about it. if you don't like them don't listen to their music. there are plenty of people who do.
... and in Nashville and St. Louis they burned effigies of Elvis Presley in 1956. Those hips! - those lewd, prurient hips - the perdition of innocense - corruption of our youth! It tickles me, the notion of a god whose main concern is that what he created "in his own image" must not experience joy or pleasure - notwithstanding that he created the means for it - and in the aeons of everything, this omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscience guy - the all-creator - is threatened by .... a musician...? A puny human with a wooden box and some strings?! - Yeah, that's the guy to hitch your wagon to. Feels like a winner!
what these people are doing is they are looking at the make-up, the masks, the stage set, and props, and making assumptions, that the band worships the devil. corruption of our youth?? hmmm makes me glad im corrupted then. LOL Suicidal Tendencies quote from the song "You Can't Bring Me Down" "Your Offended?? I'm Sorry, Well Maybe You Needed To Be Offended"
For example: Take the ghost song Rats. Its probably not in reference to actual rats, its probably about the ratish behavior of some humans, who have too much time to think, and seeing problems where there isn't any, and then creating a problem. then taking it on like its a crusade, because they got offended,. and want other people to be offended. Just so they can say they were right. there is a difference between being right, and righteous.
You realize they did nothing but pray at their Church during this show right? I'm just stating facts, I mean I'm only about a 20-25 minute drive from the town he's in, and I can tell you that nobody protested said show.
This isn't the '20s anymore chief, who cares it's just music. Ghost isn't satanic. I'm a Catholic and I love Ghost. It's not a big deal. I can't wait for my first Ghost show as soon as they come somewhere close to me.
@@Mitzi73 Nah fam. I'm an usher at Sunday mass, I partake in the Eucharist. I try to pray daily. I'm not a model Catholic, i am trying to do better. But my taste in art, particularly Ghost, is a separate ordeal from my beliefs. On top of that ghost isn't even satanic and even if they were my faith is strong and I wouldn't let some song lyrics or drum beats sway me from following Christ. There's plenty of other things to worry about. Year Zero isn't going to make me want to burn bibles and worship Satan.
I’m a catholic to and I listen to Ghost, they are one of my favorite bands. Tobias has said that he isn’t a satanist and if you are a true fan who has done actually good research you would find that Ghost is not satan worshiping. It’s just a theme or gimmick to make money. As long a ghost doesn’t make you want to worship the devil (or sin in general) it’s fine to listen to.
Saw Ghost when they came to my city earlier this month and managed to drag my sister along. I think Ghost won her over! Tobias is a freaking brilliant showman and the band was great. Best concert I've been to in a long time.
I'm a Christian and I think its guys like that that give us a bad name. 1 mind your business 2 if listening to a song can change someone's faith they weren't very strong Christian's to begin with
@Chelo Macabre Art Some band is coming into his town and is purposefully committing sacrilege and transgressive acts to attack his faith. Why can't Ghost just play music without being tryhard edgelords who need to go after low hanging fruit like Christianity? And we're all flawed creatures. You shouldn't even tempt yourself like that. Your reasoning sounds like those cucks saying having their partner cheating on them means their relationship is stronger. It's a bunch of odd pilpul that doesn't make sense when you pick it apart. Resisting temptation makes one strong - not weak.
@@johnwilson6324 they're not attacking his faith. They're simply just making things they like and who gives a crap if they poke fun at the Christian religion. So, Ghost is the real problem and not the people preaching to crowds of people thst their children will be tortured in fire for all eternity if they aren't baptized or turn out gay? There are Christians in the government who use thst religion as a means to make laws based around it... That's the problem... not Ghost poking fun at it all.
"...and posed the question whether or not the contract the band signed to perform could be voided in the best interests of the religious community." His true colors right here. Only the religious people in Texas matter. No one else.
This guy completely ignores the fact that this country is a democracy, and that others besides just him and his parishioners get a say in how things are run in their town... The venue owner is completely within his or her rights to host concerts of their choosing, and to promote this 'ungodly' music if they so wish, lol. Freedom of religion... It's sort of, you know, written in the U.S. Constitution.
The premise was that instead of being taxed, churches would invest that money heavily into the community. While this is certainly true for many churches who do a ton of community outreach, there are some who do little to none.
@@RockFeed thatnk you for the information...i am not a christian, so i dont know how this works....though i feel that paying taxes would do much more for the society than saving that money for the religious stuff....i assume most of the churches do charity and all, but there may be numerous churches that dont actually do anything for the community, as you said. So i think everyone should pay taxes according to their income, irrespective of whether he is a pastor or a worker.
i don't speak for america, but in Australia they are called A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATION and therefore they avoid tax also WHAT MADE YOU THINK EVERYONE WAS EQUAL ? if we were all equal we would all have the same thing the mere fact that you pay tax (as one example) Proves you are inferior to those charging you tax and the mere fact that the church avoids taxes and you don't proves that they are superior... YES there is no equality in the world, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THERE IS ?
Ghost is the band we've been needing. They're incredibly unique, and very talented. When my daughter is older I can say that I was 28 when Ghost were on the up and up. Can't wait for their next album. Prequelle was a masterpiece in my opinion.
I am struggling to see how they're going to top Prequelle for the next album. I have no doubt they will, but as you said, Prequelle is a masterpiece. Flawless album from start to finish.
I like Ghost, but wouldn't call them "incredibly unique", they are inspired by bands like Mercyful Fate and Blue Öyster Cult and about the masterpieces, that should be said about the Meliora album more than for Prequelle
If Christian's don't like it don't go to the show ghost has a first amendment right to play at a venue and there fans have a right to go to the show just like people have a right to attend church or believe in a God or not! Good coverage of this rock feed these stories piss me off why don't pastors protest outside rap and hip hop venues🤔
Plus they are from Sweden I believe and Sweden has freedom of speech also...they were pioneers in officially abolishing censorship and can probably get away with saying more in their country than we feel comfortable even saying in the USA...we are not the best of everything as our leaders will have you believe all the time...
@The Nice Guy Religious practice is protected speech. Vulgarity and edgy acts of transgression aren't protected speech. Christians worshiping is just them practice their religion. Ghost and others being sacriligious are just people getting up in other people's faces then crying foul when people don't like it. Come up with your own religious views and philosophies rather than taking the easy and edgy route of tearing down other people's beliefs.
And they all gave sold their soul to the devil! THey knew satan was real! Go listen to 90 Minutes interview with Bob Dylan and maybe you´ll learn something about the dark world!
Rudi Lombaard ima guitarist at churches like Hillsong and all those jumpy pop ones so I reckon not all Christian music is boring but if your anything but that I’m so damn sorry😂 also I don’t think Christian music is meant to be entertaining haha but more about god and Jesus and stuff like that, I doubt I’ll see pyrotechnics and dudes in costumes screaming amazing grace😂
@@michaeltsakis1046 hahahahaha I agree what I meant was here in South Africa man our songs sound like funeral songs I mean I am familiar with the kickass Christian songs that's all and yes there is a kickass Christian metal band as well its that of Brian Head Welch
Ghost is a very great band. When they came to my town , their performance was awesome. But if the pastor doesn’t like it then ohh well. He still can’t stop them from preforming.
Lost Khajiit this is texas dude you don't know what can happen I already know that preacher is getting beaten up for saying that. He shouldn't be judging Ghost he should judge himself before judging others
@Ronald McDouchebag You don't have to be a christian to be a Freemason. I've attended their info meeting when applying for membership, you do not have to be religious at all. I haven't applied yet, but I'm thinking about doing it soon. I think the Freemasons is a very interesting organization.
meeklyopinionated “Forge states that as an adolescent he “unquestionably threw my hands into the hands of Satan.” He cites a strict stepmother, the alienation he felt at her home, and an even stricter religious schoolteacher for making him run “headfirst into the arms of the devil.”
They are so evil that they dedicate a couple of concerts and the proceed to an album and a couple of cocerts to the family of a fn that past away. That's evil right there. They even postponed a concert due to the Pope visiting out of respect.
meeklyopinionated they are respectful but Tobias has stated on multiple occasions that he’s a Satanist. Satanists aren’t all evil villains who wish harm on people. Look up pictures of him with people like Behemoth’s lead singer. I will say they’ve toned down the Satanic themes since the pre-meliora days now that they’ve gone mainstream.
Religion is poison!!! Ghost illustrate very well why the Catholic church is despised by millions of people. Faith in Jesus is not dogma!!! Faith in Jesus christ sets people free from what binds them in this world. It's about faith not dogma!!! and it's not about the pope and the cardinals. God wants to make a connection with us without frauds, perverts and phony preachers getting in the way.
Oh piss off. As a christian, these guys are such a minority its laughable. Just because they happen to be the loudest portion of the group. Doesnt make them the majority. Nor does it depict the majority of a group. The whole point of this video went completly over your head.
Oh but in many ways it has. Earth is 6000 years old written in holy text. Your perfect beeing was wrong with 4.6 billion years. Christians nowdays use holy litterature as a buffet table, picking what they want and ignoring all the bad stuff.
@@freddelarsson4434 And? To those who wrote the bible hundreds and thousands of years ago, the earth was 6000 years old. That's what they thought it was with their understandings to math and sciences at that period. The bible is just a scripted database of stories passed down generation after generations. Just because someone several thousand years ago said the earth was "x years old" doesnt mean God doesnt exist. Look the whole point of the video went over your head. Quit with the religious intolerance you are no better than the pastor. Now I'm done debating it's like playing chess with a pigeon.
Mmmhmmm incorrect. Not all Christians are sheltered. To even associate such a term with Christians to me is sloppy. Over used and easy to claim. Furthermore to put a stigma such as sheltered on this concept proves your lack of understanding and depth of the human soul and humans in general. Disconnected from reality? Listen to your statement one more time. You are commenting on a video about something you clearly don't have a passion for and obviously could care less about on...on UA-cam. Social media. Streaming service supported by the cloud......is the cloud reality? Is the internet reality? Is there only truth existent in the internet? Sounds like you have lost a true grip on reality and human emotions as a whole. As far as imaginary goes, multiple religions believe in multiple countries that factual history exists within these texts. Thus stating you are closed minded to believe everything you have read to be true and the true reality is your reality. The reality you have painted for me is distorted, you speak for billions of people with multiple religions. Seems a bit conceded and childish if you ask me buuuut freedom of speech is a beautiful thing. You are jumping on a bandwagon that left years ago. Pick a new way to critique or give your opinion because you are basically playing a record that has been heard for years. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists all share beliefs and ideas with their Religon that could easily be relatable or comparable. Wanna suggest they all have imaginary friends and are sheltered? I wouldn't. That's a bit of a stretch to claim. :)
@@kheirashraf Well if you're religious, what are you even doing anywhere near this "Satanic" band. You're going against your own rules by indulging in the sinful ways of man and being tempted by Lucifer.
@@Rammstein45 As was previously stated, your grasp on reality is short. Everyone who listens to Ghost knows it's an act..a parody on the Catholic Church. However, you're stating "rules" as if you somehow have knowledge of Christianity when you very clearly do not. I could go further into detail as to how you believing in magic and all that bs is much worse than someone believing in a higher being. I would advise you to keep quiet when it comes to subjects you have no knowledge of. It'll help you sound less like an ignorant fool
@@Mike-8404 Hey, I'm just pointing out the rules that your book tells you to follow to people who are acting "Holier than thou" like you and kheirashraf who are giving me long winded rants about how you're apparently better than me because "you understand your religion" when clearly you don't. This is why I always think it's hilarious when believers follow a dark band like Ghost and seek out comments like mine so you can throw out your "Ackshually!" rants and get attention.
Ghost are genuinely out here trying to make people happy, celebrate individuality, and encourage fans to rock out with each other. ❤️🔥 It’s sad that some people can’t see it that way, but oh well 🤷🏽♀️ can’t win ‘em all.
Project Philk Right even if it is satanic as a Christian I get strange feelings or feel like i am being told by someone this is OK or is not ghost sometimes at not but for the most part it’s OK
Will the PMRC rise again?? That would be hillarious. This all goes back to people like Alice Cooper, even as far back as Elvis P. Elvis wasn't considered satanic, but dangerous (omg those swiveling hips of his!) , it was considered the Devil's music.
I saw them last weekend in LA, out of all the shows i've been to in my life I think it might've had the most positive vibes and love all around. Who gives a shit about religion, this is about music
I was born/raised Catholic and until this day still pray and go to church. I went to a Ghost concert earlier this month, had a great time (even dealing with a cold) and I turned out alright...one can argue that Ghost cured me.
"THE BAND LEADER GOES BY ~TOBIAS~ OF THATS EVEN HIS R E A L N A M E" omg this pastor I swear didnt do enough research... He made it seem as if Tobias is such a devilish name 😂😂 Like no offense to him but thats the LAMEST name he could ever chose as an alias. Like the pastor shouldve known that his stage name is Papa or Cardinal
I went to my first concert last night at Ghost's Austin Texas show and I gotta say, this was probably one of the best experiences of my life and I'm glad I was able to go with my metal head dad. A lot of my family is Christian including me to some extent, and even I know that ghost as a band is theatrical and their music is just absolutely amazing! The band is such a blast and full of personality
Tyler Smash yep true, but apparently the Pastor has deemed Ghost Satanic based on his internet “research” and has irresponsibly decided to spread stereotypes and fear aka Satanic Panic. It was a sarcastic dig at the Pastor and not me professing that Ghosts are Satanists
Holy crap dude, I was laughing at the fact another pastor was trying the Footloose route with a terrific band, but this utter destruction belongs on /r/murderedbywords.
Instead of banning them and preventing them from playing, he should have invited them to his church and welcomed them with open arms and prayed for the band. Or gone to their show and complimented them and then asked if they would come to his church sometime. So many Christians now days have completed lost sight of what we as Christians are supposed to do while on this earth. It’s so sad
I just read the title of this video and said out loud, "alright, here we go again, the same crap Ozzy use to get back in the day, will everyone just calm down, I'd bet money Jesus Chrost himself has to at least hum along whenever he hears AC/DC's "Highway To Hell"! Like on stage with the ghosts of Bon Scott and Malcolm Young just rockin out! XD
Remember back in the day when Rob Halford of Judas Priest had his fiasco with satanic lyrics and they did a full sound setup in the courtroom to disprove the claim while Rob sang the lyrics to Better By You Better Than Me and in the end Rob won the case. Slam Dunk
You sound super angry! But I get it bro. It’s judgement from religion. What I’ve learned to expect from religion. And what I’ve learned to expect from people who hate on Metal without doing any research whatsoever. I use to be angry about it too but I’ve learned there’s nothing to be gained from getting angry at them cuz they won’t listen. Just keep the horns up 🤘🏻🤘🏻and continue to be kind to people and crank the music even louder
I would like send a message to this pastor : Whatever your religion, your beliefs or your ideas, you must know that it will not be all that will prevail over the religion, beliefs or ideas of others persons. Even if you don't like the religion, beliefs or ideas of others persons, try to accept and respect those peoples who support this band, because I'm sure that the Lord (if he exist, because I have no beliefs or religion) would have liked to see reason prosper on this world rather than blind faith. Then, don't say that you are an angel. You too have surely done somethings wrong in your life. So if you think that the Ghost's band have done somethings wrong, start by repenting (if it is not done yet) before criticizing and shouting blasphemy. Finally, I just hope you understand that this message was not intended to hurt your person or your beliefs. I just wanted to express my discotent and discontent of the metal community (community to which I adhere 100 percent) Here is the final word of this message : you will not stop anyone from listening to Ghost or other metal bands (if that is their wish) with your good word. "Metal for peace, metal for love, metal for hapiness !" See ya
You probably belonged to the word of faith churches, without knowing it, which has nothing to do with the real Jesus Christ. And they´re every where! And It´s a sect! Their "gospel" sounds almost like the real Gospel but it isn´t!
I can understand the pastors concern because songs like "Square Hammer" clearly ask the listener if they are ready to make a pack with Satan. I am a Christian and I listen to good music even if the message is offensive to me. We have first amendment rights in this country so I think the pastor is wrong to try and ban Ghost from performing in his town. He will only make them more popular by making a fuss over their act. To me Ghost are a really good hard rock band that use dark themes to express musical ideas. Tobias Forge is a brilliant talented hedonist nothing more. I would be lying if I said that the lyrics didn't bother me a little. As long he doesn't go too far with the blasphemy part I will be a fan for life. I saw them in Vegas this year and they were amazing!!!
What people do (as long its not harming anyone) is none of your business. I can’t stand people who want to regulate other peoples behaviour based on their perspective. Disgusting
Actually, they’re performing in Midland, TX tomorrow. Not Mission. I’m deeply saddened / embarrassed to hear that this is coming from my home state. But this shouldn’t surprise me at the same time because Texas is like that lol. People here love their guns and their God lol. I’m a Christian myself and I see nothing wrong with Ghost and I actually dig a few of their tunes. I hope that Ghost fans will get the kickass show they deserve. Free of any protests or anything like that. This is honestly one of the first times I’ve heard of any pastor in Texas talking mad shit about a metal show. Thank you Brian for tearing this guy a new asshole.
Outrageous. Metalheads come from all walks of life and religions.
We had a metal show in my town/state. And all that remains head lined it. And the next day a group of preachers went to the city council trying to get them to destroy their 2 year contract with the production company that's putting the shows together. All because there was "bad words" in the lyrics. Even though the town really benefited from it
I'm not saying I don't agree with the points made in the video, but I just thought the videos were going to be less opinionated. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought after the poll a few months back the vids were going to have kind of more of a nightly news vibe. Just thought I'd point that out, again I could be wrong, I don't quite remember the poll
Im a christian and I don't care if that happens. So what. Seriously people need to chill. Not.y style of metal but who cares
So right
Well i guess but Christian rock is still rock and rock and roll is at its core S.D.R
If you think Metal will destroy your faith then your faith is really fragile
Well said.
The religion doesn't even follow their own teaching, of course their faith is shit
Manson!
Damn facts
very well said !!!
This pastor doesn't realize how much he's helping Ghost. This is great for them.
Chrysalis discovered ghost through this vid. Your point has been proved.
As we all know there is no such thing as bad publicity
Could be a great publicity stunt
I wish a pastor would attack my band!
He should know how much it did for KISS back in the day, and Alice Cooper, and Marilyn Manson.
"Tobias Forge and the Ghoulish Horde" has a nice ring to it lmao
i wanna be apart of the ghoulish horde
Thank you, pastor
Sounds like a side project 😂
Lol
Sounds like a band that would be in a Scooby Doo movie.
I'm happy he did this because now the band will have a sold out show. GHOST FOR THE WIN!!!
Lol I know, he just drummed up (free!) publicity. Chuckle.
It is supposedly why Marylin Manson sold out in Lubbock in the late 90s. From what I heard not many tickets were sold until churches boycotted it.
It was far from sold out, I mean I live in the area and like I said it was far from sold out.
they are not devil worshipers, they are just Swedish
Ha
✖︎and lockdown free
Oh really yeah right
If there is a satan he’s hysterically laughing at everyone who thinks that they will be ok after death
(pronounce in southern accent) but Sweden is communist and thus satanist
Freedom of religion. 1st amendment. Period. Ghost doesnt try to ban your church.
Nightshade4120 precisely what I was thinking. Imagine the uproar if someone tried ban his church and religion. Ain’t enough to attack kids and live tax free.
Even tho they should
He didnt want to ban them
Ghost band members are athiest anyway lmao.
...don't they?
Now that the pastor is bringing attention to it, this is probably going to be a sold out show...
like it wouldn't anyway.
I think they sell out every show as it is
This is true...
Pick and choose christians
Untill the paster pays property taxes it's not his town
Haha Well spoken
When he realizes god doesn’t exist then he won’t have his head shoved up his ass🤦🏻♂️
Goddamn right
"We have a freedom of religion in america"
also him
"Stop satanic bands from playing here" lmao
Exactly
Lol that’s conservative Christians in a nutshell
Religion is a very oppressive concept in my opinion.
I mean, they have you believe on faith alone and damn you to some form of hell for even something as simple as music? That is oppression.
I am truly happy for Tobias and the rest of the Ghost guys. You can't buy this kind of publicity.
They will probably be sad they can't go to the Ritual as it's probably sold out already ... lol
@@cjem67 what?
Saw Ghost play when they came to my town last May. They're great performers. If this pastor doesn't like them too bad, it's not his place to tell people what they can and cannot enjoy.
The Auteurist your wrong, christianity is built on the principle of telling ppl what to do,think and what to enjoy lol

kilaliam671 Ghost tribute band?
I went to a Ghost show last week. It was my first one. I loved it! I’m a small guy. 105 pounds(Always been thin plus having kidney failure doesn’t help with my weight) and I’m about 5’3. I was about 6 rows from the front. When the band started playing, these guys behind me offered to crowd surf me to the front so I could see better because they saw I’m not very tall. I declined because I didn’t want to get hurt or fall on my arm I use for dialysis but I was very appreciative of the offer.
People like this pastor think that we Metal fans are violent people. We aren’t. It was all love that night at the Ghost show. Me and some guys saved this chick from falling on her head while she was crowd surfing. I grew up in the church and still go today but I’ve never felt the love and respect for each other in a church like I do at rock and metal shows. That’s what this pastor doesnt(or refuses) to see.
joey flores glad you had fun
casey brinegar Thanks! You(and everyone) should go see them on this tour. They put on a fantastic show! They played for 3 hours so be prepared to stand for a long time if you’re on the floor.
I appreciate your words. I've seen many shows of all types. Metal fans are by far the most welcoming, and kindest I've ever encountered.
I weigh the same pounds and I'm 23 years old. I have marfan syndrome. I would love to go to a concert but I'm a chill guy and don't wanna be pushed around.
5thdquest Yup same here. I listen to a variety of music from pop to classical to rap and RnB to Metal. My last concert before Ghost was Taylor Swift this past summer. She was the best concert I’ve been too so far. Fantastic show. Other people I’ve seen are Linkin Park, Skillet, Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson(not by choice. I was 9 and my mom had tickets so we went. She was good though), Christina Aguilera(same scenario as Kelly Clarkson) Camila Cabello(opener for Taylor Swift. She was also really good) and I think that’s it so far. I was supposed to see Five Finger Death Punch with Breaking Benjamin this past summer as well but I wasn’t able to go. I almost went to Slayers tour but I didn’t cause I didn’t have anyone to go with and I figured it would be a little too intense to handle on my own especially since I’m a small guy. Ghost was my first solo concert. I’ve always wanted to go to shows alone but I never did because I thought it would be weird but I honestly enjoyed it way more then I thought I would. I felt if I had dragged one of my friends along they would have brought my mood down. Going through kidney failure and seeing my friends in the center pass away has made me realize how short life is and sometimes you just have to say fuck it and do shit solo. Some bands I’d like to see in the future are Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Alicia Keys, Alice In Chains and Evanescence. Hopefully some day I’ll cross all of them off my list lol.
imagine if cannibal corpse or behemoth goes live in texas
Behemoth was here in Texas this year I saw them live alongside slayer, lamb of god, testament, and anthrax. The best concert I’ve ever been to alongside Rammstein.
Is that an offer, please tell me that's an offer

Didnt Ghost make it clear that their "Satan worshipping" is a satire/ parody?
I don't think it's entirely satire. That said I don't think it matters, anyways.
Yes they did. It's their stage presence, the way they entertain... their ART!
Poe's law though. Sometimes satire / parody just looks like extreme views. Personally it's no skin off my nose if Tobias is a Satanist or not. Most modern Satanists are atheistic anyway - we don't believe in an actual God or Satan (or spirits or the supernatural, etc). Satan is a symbol - for TST Satanists & Satanic Temple International, an inspiring literary character who stands up against arbitrary authority, even at great cost. He's the guy who brings knowledge, even if that gets him in trouble.
They're doing it to make fun of the Christian faith by worshipping it's enemy.
It's satire because they're mocking the concept of God and religion itself.

lol lets burn down some churches...burning down the real ugly ones would be a favor to local community and bring up some real estate prices.
I'm a Christian and a metal head if I find a band that I feel goes to far I have a simple solution I don't listen to them.
Logic can be applied to other things too...
Name me a few bands that go "too far" for you
Yeah
@Big Oof mego oof
@Big Oof this is what I want someone who attacks for no reason. I am civil and some child who has to say such a crass thing sounds like a antifa member.
Saw a show last weekend in Vegas. Tobias gave a great speech about how things always change, and everyone goes through bad times. At the end, he said that no matter what your life gets better and you shouldn’t let one bad time destroy you. Idk about this pastor but I don’t think anyone who can give that genuine of a speech could ever be an evil Satanist.

@@themplar Dude there was no need for that... He's being respectful.
One time I was leaving a Cradle of Filth concert, and Christians were standing outside with gas masks on and picket signs saying we were going to hell. People were walking by and basically just flipping them off and ignoring them.
I tell them, you're doing it wrong. So I walked up next to them on the hill and scream at the crowd " Jesus loves you!" in a metal voice and throw up my fist. And at least a hundred concert goers cheered and threw up the rock symbol. So then I yelled "Jesus saves you from your sins!" and got the same response from the crowd again. They were dumbfounded.
They were probably all drunk and deaf, which was absolutely to my benefit
Cool
They were upset about Iron Maiden, Judas priest, and Ozzy Osbourne back in the 1980s too. It was a bunch of crap then, its a bunch of crap now. nothing wrong with Ghost. I say to the pastor don't worry about it. if you don't like them don't listen to their music. there are plenty of people who do.
... and in Nashville and St. Louis they burned effigies of Elvis Presley in 1956. Those hips! - those lewd, prurient hips - the perdition of innocense - corruption of our youth!
It tickles me, the notion of a god whose main concern is that what he created "in his own image" must not experience joy or pleasure - notwithstanding that he created the means for it - and in the aeons of everything, this omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscience guy - the all-creator - is threatened by .... a musician...? A puny human with a wooden box and some strings?! - Yeah, that's the guy to hitch your wagon to. Feels like a winner!
Absolute truth right there. Great comment.👍
what these people are doing is they are looking at the make-up, the masks, the stage set, and props, and making assumptions, that the band worships the devil. corruption of our youth?? hmmm makes me glad im corrupted then. LOL Suicidal Tendencies quote from the song "You Can't Bring Me Down" "Your Offended?? I'm Sorry, Well Maybe You Needed To Be Offended"
For example: Take the ghost song Rats. Its probably not in reference to actual rats, its probably about the ratish behavior of some humans, who have too much time to think, and seeing problems where there isn't any, and then creating a problem. then taking it on like its a crusade, because they got offended,. and want other people to be offended. Just so they can say they were right. there is a difference between being right, and righteous.
You realize they did nothing but pray at their Church during this show right? I'm just stating facts, I mean I'm only about a 20-25 minute drive from the town he's in, and I can tell you that nobody protested said show.
This isn't the '20s anymore chief, who cares it's just music.
Ghost isn't satanic.
I'm a Catholic and I love Ghost.
It's not a big deal.
I can't wait for my first Ghost show as soon as they come somewhere close to me.

@@Mitzi73 Nah fam. I'm an usher at Sunday mass, I partake in the Eucharist. I try to pray daily. I'm not a model Catholic, i am trying to do better. But my taste in art, particularly Ghost, is a separate ordeal from my beliefs.
On top of that ghost isn't even satanic and even if they were my faith is strong and I wouldn't let some song lyrics or drum beats sway me from following Christ. There's plenty of other things to worry about. Year Zero isn't going to make me want to burn bibles and worship Satan.
@@goldehh1069 Slipknot too
I’m a catholic to and I listen to Ghost, they are one of my favorite bands. Tobias has said that he isn’t a satanist and if you are a true fan who has done actually good research you would find that Ghost is not satan worshiping. It’s just a theme or gimmick to make money. As long a ghost doesn’t make you want to worship the devil (or sin in general) it’s fine to listen to.
Pretty sure Ghost fans would be thrilled to see religious protestors at the show.
Would be the best PR ever
Saw Ghost when they came to my city earlier this month and managed to drag my sister along. I think Ghost won her over! Tobias is a freaking brilliant showman and the band was great. Best concert I've been to in a long time.

@Chelo Macabre Art
Some band is coming into his town and is purposefully committing sacrilege and transgressive acts to attack his faith. Why can't Ghost just play music without being tryhard edgelords who need to go after low hanging fruit like Christianity?
And we're all flawed creatures. You shouldn't even tempt yourself like that. Your reasoning sounds like those cucks saying having their partner cheating on them means their relationship is stronger. It's a bunch of odd pilpul that doesn't make sense when you pick it apart. Resisting temptation makes one strong - not weak.

i just learned today that pastors dont pay taxes...is this for real? are they some superior people? i thought everyone was equal.
The premise was that instead of being taxed, churches would invest that money heavily into the community. While this is certainly true for many churches who do a ton of community outreach, there are some who do little to none.
@@RockFeed thatnk you for the information...i am not a christian, so i dont know how this works....though i feel that paying taxes would do much more for the society than saving that money for the religious stuff....i assume most of the churches do charity and all, but there may be numerous churches that dont actually do anything for the community, as you said. So i think everyone should pay taxes according to their income, irrespective of whether he is a pastor or a worker.
Omkar Bharambe no religious organizations in the United States pay taxes.
Churches and other organizations can apply to be tax exempt. they don"t have to pay taxes on anything. If its for said organization.
i don't speak for america, but in Australia they are called A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATION and therefore they avoid tax
also WHAT MADE YOU THINK EVERYONE WAS EQUAL ?
if we were all equal we would all have the same thing
the mere fact that you pay tax (as one example) Proves you are inferior to those charging you tax
and the mere fact that the church avoids taxes and you don't proves that they are superior... YES
there is no equality in the world, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THERE IS ?
Ghost is the band we've been needing. They're incredibly unique, and very talented. When my daughter is older I can say that I was 28 when Ghost were on the up and up. Can't wait for their next album. Prequelle was a masterpiece in my opinion.
I am struggling to see how they're going to top Prequelle for the next album. I have no doubt they will, but as you said, Prequelle is a masterpiece. Flawless album from start to finish.
Gatecrasher12 I could not agree more. Well said.
Completely agree!!!!
I like Ghost, but wouldn't call them "incredibly unique", they are inspired by bands like Mercyful Fate and Blue Öyster Cult and about the masterpieces, that should be said about the Meliora album more than for Prequelle
Cooler King CVH Meliora was a masterpiece. Prequelle is a good album.

@The Nice Guy
Religious practice is protected speech. Vulgarity and edgy acts of transgression aren't protected speech. Christians worshiping is just them practice their religion. Ghost and others being sacriligious are just people getting up in other people's faces then crying foul when people don't like it.
Come up with your own religious views and philosophies rather than taking the easy and edgy route of tearing down other people's beliefs.

No. It's a gimmick.

They are so evil that they dedicate a couple of concerts and the proceed to an album and a couple of cocerts to the family of a fn that past away. That's evil right there. They even postponed a concert due to the Pope visiting out of respect.
meeklyopinionated they are respectful but Tobias has stated on multiple occasions that he’s a Satanist. Satanists aren’t all evil villains who wish harm on people. Look up pictures of him with people like Behemoth’s lead singer. I will say they’ve toned down the Satanic themes since the pre-meliora days now that they’ve gone mainstream.
America, it's time to wake up from religon.
Religion is poison!!! Ghost illustrate very well why the Catholic church is despised by millions of people. Faith in Jesus is not dogma!!! Faith in Jesus christ sets people free from what binds them in this world. It's about faith not dogma!!! and it's not about the pope and the cardinals.

This is what happens when sheltered people who have imaginary friends get disconnected from reality.
Mmmhmmm incorrect. Not all Christians are sheltered. To even associate such a term with Christians to me is sloppy. Over used and easy to claim. Furthermore to put a stigma such as sheltered on this concept proves your lack of understanding and depth of the human soul and humans in general. Disconnected from reality? Listen to your statement one more time. You are commenting on a video about something you clearly don't have a passion for and obviously could care less about on...on UA-cam. Social media. Streaming service supported by the cloud......is the cloud reality? Is the internet reality? Is there only truth existent in the internet? Sounds like you have lost a true grip on reality and human emotions as a whole. As far as imaginary goes, multiple religions believe in multiple countries that factual history exists within these texts. Thus stating you are closed minded to believe everything you have read to be true and the true reality is your reality. The reality you have painted for me is distorted, you speak for billions of people with multiple religions. Seems a bit conceded and childish if you ask me buuuut freedom of speech is a beautiful thing. You are jumping on a bandwagon that left years ago. Pick a new way to critique or give your opinion because you are basically playing a record that has been heard for years. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists all share beliefs and ideas with their Religon that could easily be relatable or comparable. Wanna suggest they all have imaginary friends and are sheltered? I wouldn't. That's a bit of a stretch to claim. :)

I saw them last weekend in LA, out of all the shows i've been to in my life I think it might've had the most positive vibes and love all around. Who gives a shit about religion, this is about music
This pastor needs to get a life.
He needs Ghost, because if you have Ghost you have everything :D
Agreed.
Tobias is such a clever chap, I wouldn't be surprised to learn he paid this "pastor" to raise a ruckus. You can't get better press than this.
I'm a Christian and love Ghost just seen them yesterday !
I was born/raised Catholic and until this day still pray and go to church. I went to a Ghost concert earlier this month, had a great time (even dealing with a cold) and I turned out alright...one can argue that Ghost cured me.
This is why everybody laughs at Christianity.
NuclearWinter not really
Christianity is absurd.
@@cjraven2399 yeah really, at least the fanatical christians
Shouldn't laugh, religious nuts are dangerous as fuck.
this dude has never heard of Absu? or King Diamond?
"THE BAND LEADER GOES BY ~TOBIAS~ OF THATS EVEN HIS R E A L N A M E" omg this pastor I swear didnt do enough research... He made it seem as if Tobias is such a devilish name 😂😂 Like no offense to him but thats the LAMEST name he could ever chose as an alias. Like the pastor shouldve known that his stage name is Papa or Cardinal
Not true.
I laughed at that
Oh Tobias, you blowhard.
Someone should introduce him to Behemoth.
BELIAL
I went to my first concert last night at Ghost's Austin Texas show and I gotta say, this was probably one of the best experiences of my life and I'm glad I was able to go with my metal head dad. A lot of my family is Christian including me to some extent, and even I know that ghost as a band is theatrical and their music is just absolutely amazing! The band is such a blast and full of personality
F in the chat for the Ghost fans that are going to have to deal with the protesters
I doubt many people will waste their time "protesting" a concert.
@@themawsjawz_9491 happened to me at Slayer in SF of all places
All the fans can just sing "Year Zero" together
@@tubbyduck5317 Surprising. I believe it. But i feel like most people should have better things to do
I remember people protesting at ozzfest and tool.
FAITH:
For
All
Idiots
That
Harm
This video started informative, and turned into a hardcore roast session 😂😂😂😂😂I love it
this is the situation with religion vs marilyn manson in the 90s all over again lol
Number of Deaths atributed to Ghost 0 Number of Deaths atributed to Christianity Thousands upon Thousands.
Millions if you count old testiment
Woo Hoo, they’re coming to Clearwater FL Thanksgiving weekend and yep I’m going and yep I’m taking my teens. Bring on the Satanic Panic! 💀
A fellow Floridian!! Tampa here! Enjoy the show!! Wish I could make it.
No way man coolest parent ever
Tyler Smash yep true, but apparently the Pastor has deemed Ghost Satanic based on his internet “research” and has irresponsibly decided to spread stereotypes and fear aka Satanic Panic. It was a sarcastic dig at the Pastor and not me professing that Ghosts are Satanists
Omg you’re going to love the show, I went to the one at the forum and had the time of my life!!
Adelina Borden I am beyond excited to see them, this is a first time for me!!!
Holy crap dude, I was laughing at the fact another pastor was trying the Footloose route with a terrific band, but this utter destruction belongs on /r/murderedbywords.
Instead of banning them and preventing them from playing, he should have invited them to his church and welcomed them with open arms and prayed for the band. Or gone to their show and complimented them and then asked if they would come to his church sometime. So many Christians now days have completed lost sight of what we as Christians are supposed to do while on this earth. It’s so sad
Christianity has been two things: a cure and a weapon
I just read the title of this video and said out loud, "alright, here we go again, the same crap Ozzy use to get back in the day, will everyone just calm down, I'd bet money Jesus Chrost himself has to at least hum along whenever he hears AC/DC's "Highway To Hell"! Like on stage with the ghosts of Bon Scott and Malcolm Young just rockin out! XD
Remember back in the day when Rob Halford of Judas Priest had his fiasco with satanic lyrics and they did a full sound setup in the courtroom to disprove the claim while Rob sang the lyrics to Better By You Better Than Me and in the end Rob won the case. Slam Dunk
jesuss chrost
You sound super angry! But I get it bro. It’s judgement from religion. What I’ve learned to expect from religion. And what I’ve learned to expect from people who hate on Metal without doing any research whatsoever. I use to be angry about it too but I’ve learned there’s nothing to be gained from getting angry at them cuz they won’t listen. Just keep the horns up 🤘🏻🤘🏻and continue to be kind to people and crank the music even louder
"I am sure the band believes the devil is real"
Oh honey...
I would like send a message to this pastor :
Whatever your religion, your beliefs or your ideas, you must know that it will not be all that will prevail over the religion, beliefs or ideas of others persons. Even if you don't like the religion, beliefs or ideas of others persons, try to accept and respect those peoples who support this band, because I'm sure that the Lord (if he exist, because I have no beliefs or religion) would have liked to see reason prosper on this world rather than blind faith.
Then, don't say that you are an angel. You too have surely done somethings wrong in your life. So if you think that the Ghost's band have done somethings wrong,
start by repenting (if it is not done yet) before criticizing and shouting blasphemy.
Finally, I just hope you understand that this message was not intended to hurt your person or your beliefs. I just wanted to express my discotent and discontent of the metal community (community to which I adhere 100 percent)
Here is the final word of this message : you will not stop anyone from listening to Ghost or other metal bands (if that is their wish) with your good word.
"Metal for peace, metal for love, metal for hapiness !"
See ya
I met more genuinely nice and honest people at a single Ghost show than I did 18 years in church. Let that sink in. 🤷♂️
You probably belonged to the word of faith churches, without knowing it, which has nothing to do with the real Jesus Christ. And they´re every where! And It´s a sect! Their "gospel" sounds almost like the real Gospel but it isn´t!
But I didn't order a sink. I'm gonna need to see some ID
I can understand the pastors concern because songs like "Square Hammer" clearly ask the listener if they are ready to make a pack with Satan. I am a Christian and I listen to good music even if the message is offensive to me. We have first amendment rights in this country so I think the pastor is wrong to try and ban Ghost from performing in his town. He will only make them more popular by making a fuss over their act. To me Ghost are a really good hard rock band that use dark themes to express musical ideas. Tobias Forge is a brilliant talented hedonist nothing more. I would be lying if I said that the lyrics didn't bother me a little. As long he doesn't go too far with the blasphemy part I will be a fan for life. I saw them in Vegas this year and they were amazing!!!
I am Cristian and I love they songs of this band and others, AND? The music is art and une move of expresion !
It's just entertainment. It's 2018 already
"I was in a prayer group yesterday afternoon, so I didn't learn about it until yesterday morning." WTF kind of sense does this sentence make?!
It's fascinating how the pastor did research and STILL managed to get almost everything wrong
What people do (as long its not harming anyone) is none of your business. I can’t stand people who want to regulate other peoples behaviour based on their perspective. Disgusting
Exactly. No one gives a shit about what Pastor Harry Dong has to say.
It calls RESPONIBILITY!
I am a Christian..and ghost kicks ass there music is awesome!
Btw it’s *Midland
Actually, they’re performing in Midland, TX tomorrow. Not Mission. I’m deeply saddened / embarrassed to hear that this is coming from my home state. But this shouldn’t surprise me at the same time because Texas is like that lol. People here love their guns and their God lol. I’m a Christian myself and I see nothing wrong with Ghost and I actually dig a few of their tunes. I hope that Ghost fans will get the kickass show they deserve. Free of any protests or anything like that. This is honestly one of the first times I’ve heard of any pastor in Texas talking mad shit about a metal show. Thank you Brian for tearing this guy a new asshole.
They don’t worship Satan, hell most satanists don’t worship the devil. Ghost is mostly occult satire anyways. And it makes for hell of a great show.
Mission Texas? That's like 20 minutes from where I live lol
Ivan Mayorga midland lol I live here and yupp they straight up had a protest 😂😂😂😂
Did u get tickets
Hope you get to enjoy the show
Lol same here bro 😂
It's actually Midland. They got it wrong in the video.
