@@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"!
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
If Satan exists, then I've seen his smile and felt his warm handshake countless times as I enter a church. Very cordial, very welcoming into his realm of deception.
Metallica are huge Ghost fans but Kirk said he never laid eyes on them at first. I saw a clip of Tobias and Kirk chilling doing an informal interview. So awesome. Ghost did a remake of Enter Sandman.
The main theme of the song is back in the times of the Black Plague, rich French people would have parties in which they would feast, drink, dance and do 'other physical activity' 😉 for days, and mainly without sleep, because it's was seen as better to pass on enjoying your self then not.
@@shanemartin8904 Would you then like to enlighten us with the truth? Generally, shouting 'Wrong!!!!' at something and just leaving it at that doesn't mean your right, it just means that your loud.
It’s satanism meets Abba. Do a reaction to Year Zero, Ritual or maybe Deus in absentia - and listen to the lyrics aswell. Always listen to the lyrics when it comes to Ghost. It’s a lot darker than what meets the ear.
This video always gives me Rocky Horror vibes. Specifically the Time Warp scene. Couple of rubes stumble onto a mansion party and shit gets weird and violent fast. Also I don't care how sick the party might be: After all that 'What party??' fuss and then suddenly 'We've been expecting you', I'm bailing like the one dude who knows he's in a horror movie. Call me Rod Williams 'cause I TSAin't having that shit.
To wash out a little bit the "looks doesn't match music", try those: - Mummy Dust - Faith - Rats - Kaiserion - Hunter's Moon - From The Pinnacle To The Pit - Ritual - Year Zero - Twenties - Con Clavi Con Dio
This is exactly what someone trying to sway masses would do. They wouldn't do death metal, they'd do pop rock that appeals to millions so they can corrupt them. It makes total sense in context of the story of Ghost.
The juxtaposition of their image versus their sound is one of the most common hangups with Ghost, so it's not surprising. Glad you enjoyed, and keep'em coming! 🤘
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’m from Chicago. Originally when I heard this song, I totally thought Tobias was saying “just wanna be, wanna be with you in the moonlight” because Chicago accents often say “witchu” instead of “with you”, so when I saw a lyric video and I saw it was literally “bewitch” you, I felt so stupid 😂
This is the first time Papa Nihil and Sister Imperator meets. There is so much more to Ghost then just the music. You should really check out the Chapter videos to understand. Dance Macabre is the dance of death that the plague infested danced all night literally partied till they died. The whole album Prequelle is about the black plague.
I came to say the same. As catchy and upbeat as the song sounds on the surface, really it's a lamentation that their time together is coming to an end because they all know they're going to die of the plague.
You should check out their song Miasma, which you hear the tail end of at the title card for the video (sexy saxophone lol). It's a killer instrumental track.
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.
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)
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. 🤣
If I had to give you a recommendation, then it would be the first ever Ghost song I listened to and it's called Square Hammer, it's also their most popular song by youtube views.
Bradley Bailey played the host who answered the door. Justin Andrews plays the visitor with the short hair, Brendan McGowan plays the other visitor. Tobias Forge is the converted Papa.
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.
Mary on a Cross live in Tampa. They have a lore and backstory that others that can give you the info much better than I. This band won a Grammy for the song, Cirice. They just won AMA for the latest album, Impera. Check out Square Hammer..
The best way ive found to explain their look is to call it excellent theater. In much the way Kiss or Gwar or even Iron Maiden to some extent, puts on a looks and a show, its all about good theater and entertainment. 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. Excellent entertainment.
In the bible it mentions how Lucifer is one of the most beautiful angels, which he would use to deceive people. I like to think of Ghost's music is a lot like that, you get drawn into this catchy amazing music, and before you know it your singing songs about satan.
Lol..love your commentary. Definitely check out Year Zero unedited version. Absolution is also an Amazing song you can hear all kinds of musical influences in that one.
I am new to the band myself, and the reason I avoided them was their image as like you I thought it would be like this really heavy shit, but when I finally heard their music I was hooked. 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.
If you can’t get past the creepy mask lol Maybe you should watch some Tobias Forge interviews where he explains how he grew up on 80s metal and also anything that was popular at the time, so of course some of his songs are very melodic and catchy but that’s what I love about them! 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
The timeline of this video is set in 1969 when Papa Nil which is the character Tobias is palying in this video was empowered as the head of the Satanic Church.
Sweden is a mecca of Death Metal (Norway more so). So when you have Death Metal on one side of the spectrum, and Abba on the other side, this is the kind of music you get 🤣 Just see it the way you see scary movies 😁
Satan needs to be catchy and spread to the most people possible. Thats the idea. Not gonna win the most hearts and souls by wearing corpse paint AND playing screaching black metal. 8)
Your problem is, you're trying to understand them using your traditional methods of understanding. Just enjoy, stop struggling, as you follow and learn, the understanding of Ghost will come to you. 💀
I'm not sure how much "image" should play into a band's quality. Ghost are great songwriters, and musicians, and put on excellent lives shows. Plus they are fun, they troll the whole notion religious (and metal) dogma. Would it be better if they wore jeans and black t-shirts?
i avoided this band for YEARS because of their look. i was like great, another Swedish death metal band. My neighbor comes over one night, I'm playing videos on UA-cam, and she says you ever hear of Ghost? I'm like yes, I've heard of them, but never actually HEARD them. She suggested the Square Hammer video, and I've been hooked ever since. Talk about judging a book by its cover. I wish I had listened to these guys and gals years ago. Tobias is the Lady Gaga of rock
you have to give Tobias credit he took a genre of music (melodic rock) that radio will not play anymore in the U.S since the grunge days and he dressed it up as a satanic evil band and fooled rock radio stations into thinking its ok to play that type of music because of Ghosts image of evil and cool..it was a genius move because if it wasnt for the satanic shtick radio would have never play them because for some unknown reason they will not play anything melodic anymore...good for him i hope this opens the door for more
The bait and switch is the whole joke. If you watch stage antics and interviews of Tobias, it's obvious that he doesn't take him too seriously. 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.
Their old albums are where you should have started. Their is an evolution. Without the context the newer stuff seems weird. Anyway, their early stuff will scratch your itch.
Not exactly the best song to start off with to me personally but then again it's still awesome. You will love anything that Ghost does, i promise. Please dig into their earlier stuff. The video for He is is hilarious aswell. Very satanic mockery of the church though, it's like a christian rock anthem about satan. They also have some harder stuff. For instance prime mover, con clavi con dio, mummy dust, absolution, elizabeth. They started out as a slightly less cheesy satanic doom rock/metal band. Still tongue firmly planted in cheek but more evil. Then they got more proggy, and later they got more like this, a sort of satanic rock opera and even ballads. They have their fingers in so much genres.
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.
I feel like if Satan was trying to influence ppl through music it wouldn’t be deathcore or other hard to get into sub genre of metal, it’d be more Beyoncé then cannibal corpse. Something more ppl liked, easier to listen to, and just slip the pro Satan agitprop into that sht.
They're not Satanists. they're Swedes. So, the odds that they're atheists is about 80%. Trappings of religion is like cosplay to them. It's a way in, like WindRose -- great musicians but not real dwarves. It got you to look, though.
This is where Papa Nihil and Sister Imperator meet and she turns him into PAPA!
It's funny this all happened because Papa Nihil's friend heard there was a party going on and insist they go there
That's who Papa is. I've wondered about that. New to Ghost.
@@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"!
Theyre just a great band who brought back 70/80s rock music. tobias is a great song writer and the whole concept is amazing!
☝🏻
The first time I heard this song on the radio I tuned in after the DJ's introduction and I thought it was a new Scorpions song.
The reveal of the signature eye to the guitar gives me happy chills every time!

In the early 80's before they became famous Motley was doing the Satanic thing. And WASP.
Shame none of it's literal. Satan's a far better role model than God.
If Satan exists, then I've seen his smile and felt his warm handshake countless times as I enter a church. Very cordial, very welcoming into his realm of deception.
As a Christian...... I frequently listen to ghost. One of my favorite bands.... I said I was a Christian, never said I was a good one.
Oooooor......who cares? 🙃

@@vamprosmortimer5133 NO!
It's amazing how rigid some people are about good music BECAUSE OF HOW SOMEONE LOOKS..........
There is a difference in 'the way someone looks' vs the gimmicks some bands use...it's the chance you take when you use them!
@@conniekat3424 Dim either way. Nothing's wrong with the gimmick either.
It’s satanism meets Abba. Do a reaction to Year Zero, Ritual or maybe Deus in absentia - and listen to the lyrics aswell. Always listen to the lyrics when it comes to Ghost. It’s a lot darker than what meets the ear.

I would also include prime mover
Kaiserion tho? idk about that one.

Tobias Forge is from the Swedish tradishon of writing the most catchy songs ever :) Love it

oh please let him react to the year zero video on vimeo.
Hard to explain?
Imagine an 80s Halloween Theme Party.
Thats the best to explain this song.

Ghost is the lovechild of Black Sabbath and ABBA(Total compliment), Tobias knows how to write the songs.
Bradley Bailey played the host who answered the door. Justin Andrews plays the visitor with the short hair, Brendan McGowan plays the other visitor. Tobias Forge is the converted Papa.
my prayers have been answered! thanks for the reaction!
Little miss sunshine ,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I always think of that too
Genuinely enjoyed your reaction brother. You're more real than a lot of other reactionary youtubers out there, deserves more views for sure.

This is my first time hearing "Ghost". First impression - the vocalist could double as a Weird Al sound-alike if he got the affectation down.
Sweden is a mecca of Death Metal (Norway more so). So when you have Death Metal on one side of the spectrum, and Abba on the other side, this is the kind of music you get 🤣

Gotta love the plague music
Your problem is, you're trying to understand them using your traditional methods of understanding. Just enjoy, stop struggling, as you follow and learn, the understanding of Ghost will come to you. 💀
Ghost rules!
Great. Thanx.
I love Ghost for their absolute disregard for genre expectations.
Need to do Square Hammer if you haven't!
Ghost is sometimes called Abba metal. Which sounds about right.
4:50 The Devil Is Always Tricking People… Pop Rock Big Riffs…

TRICKY… 🤟🤟
More Ghost pls!! 😃
The title is inspired old movie horror Italiano 1964 Danza Macabra.
aside from all the audio clipping, solid reaction.
I mean there are chapters that explain it and it would be a good idea to watch them up to Kiss the Go-Goat.
Check out griftwood , he is for starters 😊
The video reminds me of the movie Once Bitten from th 80s.
Listen to " Monstrance Clock " and "Ritual" and" Elizabeth
Brings him into the cult. Not sure he’s papa after one night but ueah
Tobias Forge is brilliant and everything has meaning
The video is a nod to the movie Carrie and Michael Jackson's thriller music video
I'm not sure how much "image" should play into a band's quality. Ghost are great songwriters, and musicians, and put on excellent lives shows. Plus they are fun, they troll the whole notion religious (and metal) dogma. Would it be better if they wore jeans and black t-shirts?
I dig the song. But hell no!…Ain’t going to that party!!
Listen to Cirice! That song would make more sense for you lol
My favourite part was when they ate Corey Taylor.
There is a method to the madness but I'll let you discover that for yourself. In the meantime maybe check out Year Zero.
i avoided this band for YEARS because of their look. i was like great, another Swedish death metal band.

The bait and switch is the whole joke.
If you watch stage antics and interviews of Tobias, it's obvious that he doesn't take him too seriously. 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.
Try Witch Image
Please react movie Rumah dara from Indonesian movie Sycopat 🙏
Cirice
Their old albums are where you should have started. Their is an evolution. Without the context the newer stuff seems weird. Anyway, their early stuff will scratch your itch.
Check out their live stuff. Some videos make no sense. Lol

Not exactly the best song to start off with to me personally but then again it's still awesome. You will love anything that Ghost does, i promise. Please dig into their earlier stuff.

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.
I thought you were blastphamoushd
Your missing a n in the title
How I Met Your Mother: Satan version
dont take it so seriously, its an act. you enjoy the music or you dont.
Just don't try to make them what they aren't. Don't think death metal, think Blue Oyster Cult, but 40 years later...😊
Lol
Blue Oyster Cult's latest album is way heavier than Ghost.
I feel like if Satan was trying to influence ppl through music it wouldn’t be deathcore or other hard to get into sub genre of metal, it’d be more Beyoncé then cannibal corpse. Something more ppl liked, easier to listen to, and just slip the pro Satan agitprop into that sht.
I don't hear hard rock...this one sounds more like 80's pop with a bit of rock thrown in...but it's pretty good!
They're not Satanists. they're Swedes. So, the odds that they're atheists is about 80%. Trappings of religion is like cosplay to them. It's a way in, like WindRose -- great musicians but not real dwarves. It got you to look, though.
Also "evil Satanic demon makeup" is massively oxymoronic. None of those first three words pair together.
