Because Ghost is basically just the singer who writes this stuff, and then the hired musicians who play for the album, THEN the hired musicians who play it live, it's never as simple as the guitarist or the bass player or whatever getting their moment. It's just Tobias getting his way. But, live, the two current guitarists do play that dualing guitar part together, though the black guitarist they had before 2023 did not.
Thanks for the info man this is awesome
I'm not so sure in the latest albums, but I know Tobias tracked a lot of the instruments in the other albums. I think he may have let someone else do the solo guitar work on imperium with them being a step up in difficulty. Who really knows though :)
A cool thing is that this one were recorded in ABBA:s old studio and the piano that you hear in the studio recording is the one piano ABBA used when they recorded their albums.
That’s really cool
I can feel the 80s pumping in my veins 😎
Hell yea lol
So far, impera is Ghost most cohesive album sonically & thematically. I love how in the first 2 albums the lyrics are blatantly satanic but in the later releases they use it to explore much wider & complex topics. I think it shows tobias' growth as a songwriter. No matter what negative thing people want to say about him, no one can deny that he's a genius.
A genius he is!
I attended my first Ghost concert a few weeks ago and it was fantastic, you've got to see them live.
That’s awesome!! I’m jealous lol
@@oldstonerun I attended my first Ghost show in Michigan as well a few weeks ago...and I ended up going to the Chicago show the very next day after driving almost 4 hours to get there. XD It was pretty remarkable too how different the audiences were between the two shows. Michigan was more amped up for some reason, and Chicago was more chill, it was weird. XD
@@therzepkoidian3140 oh man that’s so cool! It’s really neat to see the changes in the atmosphere from venue to venue as well!
@@oldstonerun Oh yeah, absolutely. Both the venues I was at are really cool and unique in their own ways, for sure. Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island is one of my favorite venues since it's right on Lake Michigan in Chicago, so when I saw Ghost was playing there I just had to go...even though I already had tickets to the Michigan show. My brother and I took his son/my nephew to his first concert, and needless to say any other shows he sees from now on will have a lot to live up to! XD
@@therzepkoidian3140 man that’s so freaking awesome! I bet it blew your nephew away! That’s what it’s about man, transfer that great music on to the next generation!
The key changes between the verse and chorus is the secret sauce that makes this dish stand out. Like another music reactor said "they don't need to do that but it gives the song another dimension". This is Joe Elliott:s favorite and if you watch Ghost chapter 15 you can see him do a karaoke version of it. The cool thing is that it was Joe who contacted Tobias and wanted to release a new version with both of them singing. Try listen to that too. Why don't you watch the cover of Jesus he knows me from the latest album Phantomime. It is truly a blast 😂
Ok great comment man. The key changes are awesome! I’ll have to check that cover out!
I like that Forge strategically picked stops on the tour for this album that were the same stops classic rock bands he likes played at. It meant loss of profit due to potentially smaller arena sizes, but the crowds were better because it would be a full house of dedicated fans versus a stadium half-filled with casual concert goers that are just not totally into it.
This is awesome to hear! That’s so cool
So glad you enjoyed Spillways! Ghost has been a favorite band of mine since 2018. I have attended 5 shows, two just this year! They’re just as intoxicating, honestly more, live. The Creator of Ghost, Tobias Forge, truly is a man of the craft and loves his small details. Please check out their official live recordings of Mary On A Cross from their UA-cam, and Call Me Little Sunshine from the Kimmel Show! A band that can play live is worth their weight in gold in my book, and Ghost sits at the top of my list!
Thanks for the awesome comment! Two shows this year!? That’s freaking awesome! Hey for those two other videos are the only other two Ghost videos I’ve reacted to already!!
@@oldstonerun woohoo! I’ll have to check them out! As far as other recommendations go, I would recommend checking out all of their covers! The really awesome thing is that they pick songs that you would not think fit the genre, but they put such a Ghost twist on it, that it sounds like their own piece! Enjoy your Ghost journey as you will be down the rabbit hole very soon lol
@@katiehambrick3966 lol down the rabbit hole I go!! Now I’ll definitely have to check out there covers!
i saw them twice last year and again just a few weeks ago. i'm up to 5 times also. i stumbled across them on youtube 5 or so years ago (square hammer). they have saved rock for me. love this band.
@@carolbusbey9928 that’s so awesome! Any band that saves rock music for someone is good by me!
Papa himself usually doing the base on the recordings. Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth doing much of the guitar work on the latest albums. Not sure of this exact song but anyways... 🙂
this is one of my most favorite ghost songs. great video! got into ghost when i was around 17, i’m almost 20 and i just love their music. definitely have to see them live some day 🙏
That's awesome!
I’m loving this, when I first heard this track when I got the Impera album, I’d stuck it on in the background while I was working, I got to this track, about half way through just went, hold the fucking bus, this is fucking brilliant and listened to it on repeat for about 6 weeks. I’ve seen Ghost 3 times live now, they are so fucking good. Lots of metal fans complain that they’re too poppy, I don’t care, it’s brilliant and I love seeing someone get as excited about this song in particular as I was! When me and my buddies went to watch them on this tour I’d been banging on about how this was their best track and they’d definitely play it, to see it when the first performed it live! So fucking good!
Thanks for this awesome comment! Man I’m jealous you’ve got to see them so many times! Hell yea!
Wow brother this is what a a reaction channel should be enjoying the music whilst providing musical insight fab!
Thanks man, thank you!
Love your reactions and the attention you pay to detail! You get Ghost man 🤘🏻 Also that “what’s this” - me every time!
Thank you! Much appreciated. Ghost is so awesome. They’ve grown on me so much
Love your reactions man! The small details you immediately notice and the enthusiasm, it's all really cool.
If you're ever interested in checking their earlier stuff I definitely recommend their first song that made a breakthrough!
It's ritual.
I personally love everything they do, newer and older, but there's definitely something more... Eery and creepy about their earlier albums? So yeah definitely ritual, and if you can check an older live version for year zero that'd be so cool!
Ah man thanks so much!!!! I have no idea where to start with this band so thanks for the recommendation!!! I’m absolutely checking Ghost out more, these guys and gals are awesome!
Man, just gotta say I'm loving your reaction videos. Been sneaking in here for quite a while. Keep up the good work! Much love from Sweden. Keep on, keeping on brother.
Thanks so much man!! I appreciate it! Sweden!! Hell yea!
mäktiga glenn!
Been a fan since 2011. I remember my friend clued me into them and I would listen to their first album front to back in between college classes. 2012 I first saw them in a much smaller venue than they'd be able to play now. One of the best concerts I've gone to. Saw them again in 2019 or 2020, I forget which year, in a proper theater venue. Still amazing, but it's impossible to compare to the smaller floor show when they weren't as big. My favorite band that is still active, for sure. They keep doing amazing things.
This was an awesome reaction! The vocal harmonies on the Rats acoustic live version, with Cardinal Copia, are phenomenal!
Thanks!!! I’ll have to check that version out for sure
Your joy in hearing this is infectious!
🔥🤘👻🔥
Thanks!!! I freaking enjoyed this!!
Love that you checked out the song its one of the first ones of theirs i heard and its so unique and different. Love your videos 😊hearing your thoughts on this one was fun, thanks for doing this one! Ive mentioned to people that this song is like if abba turned metal lol. Even if you dont check these out on camera ill recommend a few bands and songs to give you some cool flavour. Unless youve heard these bands or songs already lol.
The pretty reckless- 1) only love can save me now
2) so it went
Iron maiden- writings on the wall
Jinjer- wallflowers
Dude thanks for the comment! I’ll definitely check those songs out for sure! Thanks for the kind words too man!
I only recently discovered Ghost, and this is among my favorite songs now! Tobias is such a talented artist and entertainer. I am glad to see Ghost gaining popularity. This world needs more rock artists.
By the way, I believe most of the bass players in Ghost's touring shows have been female.
This is one of those songs that just tickles my eardrums (internally).
Fun thing, 5:41 in your video Tobias claps the hands and the dancers starts moving for the first time in the video 😉
Oh wow I didn’t notice! That’s so cool
Fun fact: Tobias played bass for this album (Impera).
I saw Ghost open for Mastodon in 2012. Since then I have been to 15 more shows. The most fun I’ve had with music in a long time
One of the first things that impressed me about this song was the choreography...that group of eight dancers (it seems like more, but just eight) do a fantastic job and really add the emotion to the piece.
Was an amazing album 👌 Tx for reacting to Ghost 👻
I can’t wait to listen to more of it!
Gotta let the music breath, ,man.... Long live Eddie
Absolutely! Long live Eddie!
Me encanta que te hayas enamotado de ghost porque es una banda increible jajaja, gracias por tus videos ❤
Awesome
I'm quite fond of the version they did with Joe Elliot.
Man you're reactions are exactly the same as when I first heard this song. Epic! And the best thing is - there are so many other Ghost songs you still need to delve into! Try Dance Macabre or Square Hammer next. 🔥
That’s awesome man thanks for the comment! I definitely do need more Ghost!
This video is one of the few times you witness the touring band. When recording its either Tobias or its hired studio musicians. Here its the touring band line up that traveled for the Impera tour (Re-Impera swapped out 2 musicians)
While identical in most ways, the helmets/masks the ghouls wear do differ ever so slightly (an extra patch of leather here and there or white horns on lead guitarist). Outfits also differ slightly, some wesr a marching band stlye coat, some don't. Same with the cape, it's mostly worn by the females or "Ghoulettes."
love your reactions and insights man, hope you keep coming with more Ghost reactions! hell yeah!
Thanks man! Much appreciated! More Ghost is on the way!
@@oldstonerun nice one, thanks!
@@TommenLM thanks
I would love to hear your take on "Twenties," if you haven't listened to it already. It's SO different from other Ghost songs, and I love it!
Is it just on my end, or are the first 33 seconds of this video empty? :o
Loved the reaction though, it's always so much fun to watch another person fall in love with the music you so adore ^^
As amazing as the song structure is - ear worm masterclass - the production value in their sound is amazing too. The mix of the bass, drums and various guitar parts, plus the keyboard and all the vocals... everything is perfectly spaced so you can hear it all.
Have u heard Dance Mccabre? Great song from Ghost 😊
Not yet I haven’t but I sure will
I really like your ghost reactions
Thanks!!
Thank you, you made me listen to this track differently, good ears...
Awesome! Glad to hear!
Love to see that nuanced breakdown. It is verse/chorus but it isnt. There will always be a slight variation into the next section which is the same as the last but not. Bass was exceptional here.
I heard a little bit of „Hold the line“ by Toto
Ghost 👻 gang !!
The last guitar riff in Spillways is a revelation.
Sounds a bit like Poison with Alice Cooper in some places ;)
The song 'He is' is also a real gem in the Ghost catalogue.
Poison with Cooper. Interesting take! I like it!
Ghost pokémon i choose you...
Nice Reaction. Love it! Please try "Faith" (from A Pale Tour Named Death).
Ghost has a great arsenal of pop, heavy, 80's metal etc. "Faith" is an little more heavy exemple.
You should also check out "Square Hammer" and so much more! Please keep an eye on Ghost. It makes your day better! ;)
Thank you!!! I definitely need more Ghost in my life!
if youre lookin for more ghost bass, you should react to “From the Pinnacle to the Pit” or “Con Clavi Con Dio”
Deal
I don't really like Spillways (which was shocking to me since I adore every other Ghost song), but I truly love how the music video has the actual musicians who play live shows on tour in it❤
I saw Ghost back in 2016 before seeing them again last month. Obviously the set list changed quite a lot and the stage banter was different but Ghost is still awesome live. Check out some Amon Amarth preferably The Pursuit of Vikings or Raise your Horns.
New subscriber dude...keep it up....can I suggest the band THE DEAD SOUTH and their new song IN HELL I'LL BE IN GOOD COMPANY
Thanks man for the sub!! I absolutely will check them out!
Have you ever tried with cirice?
Well you know that joe Elliott collabed with tobias on this track, giving that proper 80s feel 😊
I do not! Lol. But i do now!
Not exactly, it was recorded before Joe got involved...
Not on the album, in chapter 15. 😊
Despite of the costumes and other 'stuff' this rolls...
I hear Pokémon in this song especially with the intro
That’s interesting!
