      @@tigridia6178 I wonder what happened to said friend who dragged him to the party. Plus they weren't going to be allowed in until he was about to tell his friend they should just leave.... Then the "Corpse at the door" he recognized maybe the "main Girl(Sister)" might like him.
      I surmise this because it was clear she was "The Belle of the Ball"!

  • @IRanOutOfPhrases

    Consider this about Ghost's image vs their sound:
    Ghost's lyrics frequently are pretty pro-Satan (not that anyone in the band literally is worshipping Satan, but its done for theater.) They package it inside a song that is as you mentioned, catchy & cool. The songs you've listened to are very accessible by the masses. The type of songs that most people would hear and be, "Oh, hey, that was pretty cool." So its songs that can fit in the mainstream, talking about the joys of the Devil.
    If Satan really did exist, and he was on a mission to spread his word and influence via music, wouldn't THIS be the way to catch as many people? Like, you've got the 'obviously evil' metal bands out there with crazy heavy riffs and ridiculous amounts of growling. But those bands are always so niche.
    Ghost is like an exact image of what your uber-Christians would be most concerned about. They're not going to be worried about bands like Corpsegrinder. Its too 'obviously evil', and unlikely that their children are going to be receptive to such a band. But Ghost? Ghost is making the devil seem cool and appealing. They can 'blend in' with all the other popular rock bands if you don't pay too much attention, all while singing praises to Satan, haha

    I’m from Chicago.

    The elevator pitch for this band is: They're in service to Satan to get devotees and every so often Satan get displeased with the progress, so the front man is taken out and replaced, thus changing up their look and sound. Their older stuff was very 70s metal - Black Sabbath, Judas Priest kinda sound and it's... just gone all over the place from there. 😂
    Wanna see the opposite of what you're talking about? Look for Mummy Dust Live 2022 - He's in a blue sequin jacket and it sounds like death metal. 🤣

    Definitely react to something even a bit older. Cirice is a song that is slower and more ominous and has a good music video to go with it but Secular Haze is even older and actually has the band in it that shows what they looked like in the second age of Ghost (Papa ll) we are currently in the fourth age of Ghost (some would say 4.5 with the current rendition of the vocalist starting out as cardinal and ascending to Papa4)

  • @IRanOutOfPhrases
    @IRanOutOfPhrases Рік тому +6

    I meant to include in my other comment:
    If you want to find songs that better match their image:
    Year Zero
    Cirice
    Faith
    Twenties
    Mummy Dust (the only song I can think of where he gets a bit growly on the vocals)
    Con Clavi Con Dio
    These will all feel a bit 'darker' than the ones you've heard so far. Although I think Call Me Little Sunshine leans that way a bit too.
    The vocal style doesn't change (aside form Mummy Dust), but the instruments will feel more sinister for sure.

    I know this video was 4 months ago, but the imagery serves two purposes, it shows the beginning of the Character that tobias plays, but the video also is a pop interpretation of the black plague, the Danse Macabre was a night where everyone was dying with the plague, so they just danced and partied like there was not going to be a tomorrow, because there wasn't going to be one, as they all were going to die.

You could watch a bunch of dudes in band tshirts put on a good concert, or you can watch Ghost and Tobias Forge put on a great show thats pleasing to not only the ears but to the eyea as well.

    The thing is, yes the songs sound very upbeat and catchy, but if you listen to or read the lyrics you will see that the lyrics actually do match the image.
    There is though a very big sense of humour and tongue in cheek style to this band as well. If you watch the little story chapters they post on their channel, they are hilarious.

I’ve heard some people refer to them as “Scooby Doom” or “Goth Weezer” lol. Of course the Abba reference too, because they’re Swedish. Also maybe watch some videos explaining the lore behind the band. Why there is Cardinal Copia, Papa 1, 2, 3 & 4. It’s pretty funny. They have chapters on their UA-cam channel

    Gost has reinvented themselves many times over the years, comming from doom metal all the way to this 70-80's themed pop music. Every once in awhile the lead singer changes character, basically becomming a new front man for the band, and in doing so they change the direction and feel of the band. It is a interesting journey and they do cover a lot of it in skits over on their youtube channel, pretty funny stuff.
    If you want to hear the spooky stuff they originally came from, look at the old albums like Opus and Infestissumam.

I always thought it was onerous the way rock some rock stars seem to never be able to turn off their persona and just be a regular person. I tried watching Steven Tyler and David Lee Roth on Joe Rogan and had to turn them both off. They think everything has to be a performance that sticks to a script. Tobias is poking fun at his own genre, while making fun, complex music that makes you feel good.

    They’re playing off the Catholic Church obviously but instead of being of service to the holy trinity, they spin it to be faithful to satan. In a satirical sense. The band is known as the faceless ghouls, fans are the congregation and Tobias goes through different members of the church hierarchy. From pope to currently cardinal copia. It’s theater meets a rock band with comedic tones to make it work perfectly in my opinion.
