You're right. Tobias often talks about that the live concerts is all about creating two hours of entertainment for people. Giving his audience not just the songs from start to finish but a whole experience with music, visuals, clothes, lights, fire, laughs and the quality of his musicians together with his stage presences. That's what makes a Ghost show stand out.
After listening to this for the 3rd and 4th times...its one of those Ghost tunes that just gets better and better with relistens... turning out to be some big ones on this new album for sure!
I had no idea there was hate, but I'm not too surprised. Every line is a clever pun, and there is so much tongue in cheek humor. The music itself is completely different from any other style I have heard before. I love this way more than Call Me. Call Me sounds boring now lol
I turned my 61 year old mom and my 84 year old grandmother into Ghost fans with this song! This and Call me Little Sunshine 🤘🤘🖤🖤 this is very different for Ghost but I love that they experiment with new styles. Love the word play and dark humor. One of my faves from Impera for sure
I absolutely HATED this song when it came out. I forced myself to listen to it over and over. Needless to say, I LOVE it now. It grows on you like Mummy Dust
I remember when my brother first showed me this song (I love Ghost, but was burnt out from work when this song was released). My brother just watched me the whole time, he didn't expect me to like it so much with the first listen, he said it took him a few listens. Reason I loved it on the first listen? Nostalgia... Because it reminds me of "Repo! The Genetic Opera".
He said the Full Imperatour will be a bigger stage presence. "This was a warm up to what's next"! This song is awesome. Like you said, it's fresh. We need fresh! TWENTIES 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘💖💖💖👻👻👻
Thank you for the kind words! I’m listening to this song a bunch it’s so wild and funny and now the social commentary is sinking in for me. Tobias is a genius.
I've seen a few people comment on not liking some of the lyrics, the whole "grabbing them by the hoohahs" "grinding in a pile of mulah" n such: which is fair! It IS kind of a laugh though. Like, is it not the same as all the other blatant innuendo in most of ghosts other content? Idk, one of my FAVORITE components of Ghost is how un-serious they can be sometimes. I love the puns and the double meanings everywhere, the innuendo. Ghost is So goofy sometimes. I don't see much of a difference between this and Kiss The Go-Goat, or like Jigolo Mer Megiddo. "Not fighting a war is for suckers" the whole song is just such a silly thing. The Hoohah line is such an attention grabber! Lmao I love the way first time reactors immediately full body screenshot. It's so good I seriously couldn't get more then like 30 secs into this song the first time I heard it, simply for the difference in sound. Then I heard it again and suddenly I was in love. I adore the entire new album!
While it could be seen as very unserious i interpreted this song as being a very serious critique of human society. There are a lot of references to fascism, both in Europe in the 1920s (specifically referencing Hitler's idea of the 3rd Reich) and also a lot of references to Trump (grabbing em by the hoo-haas). All in all Tobias seems to have written this song with that kind of fascist rhetoric in mind. I'd say that this song is very serious yet very goofy since Tobias is dunking on both modern day and past fascist movements and their rhetoric. So to me its definetly a very political song at the very least, whether or not that was Tobias' intention :) .
For somebody that doesn't speak english natively, that's a pretty hard song to understand the lyrics because of the amount of slang; but nevertheless, that song has such a groove... It took me a few times listening to it to start to enjoy it
@@dickenya3278 There's only 12 notes, yet people keeping making great music. Go figure/doesn't really matter, it's what you do with it. I am not saying this song is copying those songs, I'm answering the question asked by Matthieu Roussotte at 6:59
I belive it's about the 20th century that refers to 1901 to 2000 we are currently in the 21 century, that started on 2001 and will end 2100 By the way, great video man! keep it up!
He adverticed this new album and said next top metal band all over The world and it will fit for a rock opera! We are in Ghost-land Sweden both of us. 😉 He added, metal or rock whatever.... Great music. Not so dark anymore.
Right now after see you to enjoy this song I can tell : is not bad at all . I hate it but I love the song at the same time is like hearing a Tim Burton’s heavys metal song whit a little bit of Disney villain voice in the background I don’t what to think about this song I’m still processing and I don’t if hate it or love it . I don’t know maybe later I will enjoy it . But I think I have to get used to
Moolach I guess is = Moloch... so not a good time bc Moloch was a deity, for whom people are burned alive as an offering XD Also, there's a theory too, Moloch being the same as christian god (but in it's ancient form)...
@@Paincakes I think the lyrics spoil it. I do like the music. Also, it has growin on me. Those lyrics though... I'm pretty sure it wasn't Tobias who came up with rhyming "Moolah" with "Hoo-haw"--I blamet Salem Al Fakir or Vincent Pontare's for that though. "Kaissarion" rips live. I'm sure we'll be alright, just miss the good old days of "Written by a Ghoul writer."

He’s certainly living up to everything you mentioned. Especially the laughs. He’s basically doing hilarious standup between every song.
The happiness in your facial expressions. Simply Priceless.

I completely agree. This song is the work of a genius. I dont use that word lightly.
I can picture a live orchestra, choir and some dancers performing on stage with Ghost during this song.
Totally! Like a west side story gang snapping their fingers in a slummy street
Well, You are in for a ride Cus on the 9/11/23 Show at the Kia forum there were Skeleton dancers during this song ;)
Omg and it was like that!
This song hyped me up and made me want to start a revolution.
Great reaction vid
Right?! Let’s gooooo!!
Love your positivity towards the song. All the hate towards it from others I feel like they don't understand alot of the irony in their music.
I had no idea there was hate, but I'm not too surprised. Every line is a clever pun, and there is so much tongue in cheek humor. The music itself is completely different from any other style I have heard before. I love this way more than Call Me. Call Me sounds boring now lol
Well put!! 🤗🤗🤗
This song feels like it would be a villainous politicians solo song in a 1920s themed musical! Its very broadway

This is my most favorite song of the new album. It just rocks so hard.
I absolutely HATED this song when it came out. I forced myself to listen to it over and over. Needless to say, I LOVE it now. It grows on you like Mummy Dust
It’s definitely a grower
Same !
i new this was gonna be my favorite song to go to after a short time, i love it
Same here!
@@Paincakes rather than a shower....
Props on waiting it out! Your reaction to the beginning was similar to mine 😁
This was a wild ride omg!

I used to think I preferred seeing them in smaller theater type venues, but after this last show, I am totally ok with them bringing out the big guns!
simplesmente ghost fazendo um Baião🇧🇷
The interview on youtube with Tobias about his inspiration for this song is super interesting. great reaction!
Thank you!
lol yet again your reaction is the best!!! please keep doing this!!! So envious you saw Ghost!!! I had to listen a few times..love it !!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m listening to this song a bunch it’s so wild and funny and now the social commentary is sinking in for me. Tobias is a genius.
@@Paincakes totally agree i was unsure first listen but after a few listens and your reaction,I am indeed sold lol!

Haha I agree this song is hilarious 🤣
Also the grab the by the hoohah line is a clear reference to an infamous recording of Donald Trump saying precisely that
@@yaphetgreen0222 YES exactly! !

it reminds me of some of the songs from Repo! The Genetic Opera. i love how excited you are about life in general. good reaction vid :)
Thanks Georgia! I haven’t seen Repo! But I’ve heard about it a lot. I’ll have to check it out.
@@Paincakes OMG you need to watch it. seriously. and then the Devil's Carnival. it all seems like stuff you would like!!!!
Your reaction! That smile!! Thanks for making me laugh this morning!!!! Your awesome to watch also!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you got a kick out of my video!
@@Paincakes🖤🖤
@@Paincakes your reactions were just like mine. You had me laughing from excitement lol 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
I can honestly say I have never liked a song as much as I liked this one after hearing it for the first time. I absolutely love this song.
This song ROCKS! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
In my opinion, this is the most catchiest Ghost song
For somebody that doesn't speak english natively, that's a pretty hard song to understand the lyrics because of the amount of slang; but nevertheless, that song has such a groove... It took me a few times listening to it to start to enjoy it
I was at the show too! Fantastic show.
True story: I took a piss next to Steve Vai after the show
Best band in the world
I absolutely love this song!
It sounds like "Kiene Lust" by Rammstein mixed with a villains song from a Disney movie (a good one).
Bro, stop comparing. There only so many chords on a scale ..most songs will eventually sound like something else.

To mention A Disney villains song is a great and funny thing to mention 😁
I'm hearing a lot of heavier Devin Townsend on this, especially the chorus and the use of horns. Good stuff!
Very Diablo Swing Orchestra alike avantgarde metal ) Still, the heaviest stuff from Ghost
There are a few seconds of this song that briefly made me think of Wizard of Oz
I get Killing Joke vibes which is awesome.
the kids went full reggaeton with this one.
I can't believe they've done this.
@@Paincakes they had to. Music trascends the barriers of sound and styles so it seems proper for them to mix a lot of musical influences now.
Me encanta ghost y comence a ver tus videos por tu sonrisa. Me encantan tus gestos de sorpresa!!😁🔥🙈🤘🏼
Gracias!
I belive it's about the 20th century that refers to 1901 to 2000
we are currently in the 21 century, that started on 2001 and will end 2100
By the way, great video man! keep it up!
So different song! But still an awesome song!
I’m still shook
Tobias is a genius.
The beginning almost sounds like a Final Fantasy battle theme
I immediately thought of Through the Never
one of the guys from opeth sat in on this song
this is like mummy dust 2.0
Haha I love this
Except Mummy Dust is actually good.... :-/
Brasilian mumy dust
Most definitely (as is MD), one of Ghost's heavier songs to date..loving it, and can't wait for the Mar 11 full rls of Impera!
halfway through your Impera playlist and this video made me pause to sub
I am so jalous of you seeing them yesterday. Sad they won’t be coming to Montreal.
It was a great show and I hope that you’ll get to experience the magic of Ghost live soon.
@@Paincakes Anaheim show???? I was their it was fire!!!
@@Gunsnr13 Yep! Soo goooood!
@@Paincakes what section?
@@Gunsnr13 223 you?
Love you. The Swedish Pop professor Gradvall likes this tune.
Love you back
He adverticed this new album and said next top metal band all over The world and it will fit for a rock opera!
We are in Ghost-land Sweden both of us. 😉

Great music. Not so dark anymore.

Haha I love your description! Yeah heavy metal Tim Burton / Danny Elfman with a Disney villain voice.
@@Paincakes I like your headphones what brand are they ????
@@ernestoreveres8780 Thanks, AKG K240, I've been using them for decades and love them.
to hear this live would be spmething else...
Drawing the parallels between the 1920’s and the present day political circus that is Trump and MAGA is brilliant!
Moolach I guess is = Moloch... so not a good time bc Moloch was a deity, for whom people are burned alive as an offering XD Also, there's a theory too, Moloch being the same as christian god (but in it's ancient form)...
Moolah is also American slang for money. And the grabbing chulas by the hoohas is a reference to a former American politely figure.
@@Paincakes Right, Moloch used to be also referred as "money" in current times.
Brazil style 🇧🇷
Vai Brasil...
Tobias is using the same song-writers as Lady Gaga and Madonna... I miss the old days.
What do you think of the song?
@@Paincakes I think the lyrics spoil it. I do like the music. Also, it has growin on me. Those lyrics though... I'm pretty sure it wasn't Tobias who came up with rhyming "Moolah" with "Hoo-haw"--I blamet Salem Al Fakir or Vincent Pontare's for that though. "Kaissarion" rips live. I'm sure we'll be alright, just miss the good old days of "Written by a Ghoul writer."
Love the music of this song but think that the lyrics are the weak point. The rhymes feel forced. Overall not a fan of it.
The lyrics actually are best part... if you understand the message ;) He's singing exactly about what's happening now, in a most brilliant way.
I love the lyrics. Basically describing with humor how a dictator riles up his followers to incite chaos and commit atrocities.
Well, i cant make myself like the new album, or new look. All things must pass. Except rammstien.
You talk too much!
Let’s talk about it
then go listen the the original song? 😭
