Ghost does everything from dark to funky in costume, and their live shows are amazing. I highly recommend Cirice and Square Hammer for opposite sounds with great riffs. The religious aspect is more parody than belief.
@@UltimateGamerCC i disagree. his pact with the devil probably goes back to his older brother passing away. hes quite open about it listen to him talk about it
"You are cast out from the heavens to the ground, blackened feathers falling down" While yes hes talking about Lucifer I also feel it's a metaphor for each of us when we hit our lowest point and it's up to us to rise from it
Ghost is awesome. He’s called Papa Emeritus and he’s basically the anti-Pope. It’s all just an act of course. Saw them live in KY a few years ago. Is still one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. They absolutely put on one hell of a show.
I once heard a reactor correlate them to KISS. Tobias has created a whole world of lore for the various characters, and the live shows are a spectacle. It's all about putting on the most fantastic performance!
Didn't expect you to check out Ghost in my feed. Quite the interesting band. They're actually better live than in a studio setting too IMO. If you're going to check out more Ghost I would recommend tour recordings, specifically 2018-Present. Post-2018, their main focuses became sounding good live. The community has many Multicam live videos with great sound. I also think their current lineup is more technically proficient when it comes to their instruments, another reason to check out their recent live recordings.
I love Ghost. I didn't care for them the first time I heard them but they grew on me big time. I don't get into the lyrics but the whole package is awesome. I took my 68 year old mother to see them and see even loved them. Hahah second row!
They are absolutely amazing live. They are not a satanic band, but more of a parody of the hypocrisy of religion. They poke fun at it, and even call their live shows, "rituals". The look is more for shock value, gimmick, and theater but I think brilliant. The lead singer changes persona's every album and is called Papa, up until the newest album he is now a Cardinal. The other bandmates actually change, they are referred to as the Nameless Ghouls (all based on elements but they have also changed with the new album). With the new album we also have some Ghoulettes. Every album is very different. They are constantly evolving and changing. You really have to listen to different songs to really get a feel for what they are doing. Dance Macabre is more upbeat but Cirice is a masterpiece.
ooh, descending down the Ghost rabbit hole are we? fantastic, Ghost is a cool band and i like how they dont stick to any ONE genre, they're like Prince if he joined Blue Oyster Cult. lol
One of their videos that i think demonstrates Tobias voice is their acoustic version for If you Have Ghosts in the HardDrive Online YT channel, simply tasty and amazing, would love to see you react to that
While your takeaway is that of the fall of Lucifer, the official video for the song is much different. In the video, a "worthy candidate" is selected to have absolute power over all people. Once he realizes what he is expected to do, he rebels and jumps from the tower he resides in. After death, his soul resurrects and returns the power he was given to the lowly people. What I really love about Ghost's music is how it can be interpreted.
I am picturing the meme of this cartoon dog sitting in a burning house saying " this is fine". XD Honestly i was dying laughing. Gost is such an amazing band to sing about satan in such a happy upbeat way. Really enjoyable.
You should try this video. It's an acoustic version of one of their songs; it's got some character. Ghost "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen" Live @ SiriusXM // Octane @
Cirice is a powerful song and the production musicianship is excellent. video is cool too. Edit: make sure to watch the official video with the kids/talent show.
His name is Papa Emirtus and the band memebers are called The Nameless Ghouls...First off the "Satanic" Stuff is just a shtick. He isnt serious its all a performance. Musically he Papa is a a genius his real name is Tobias Forge. You def need to check more from these guys they are awesome. Some cant get past the Satanic shtick but its just that its a joke and one of the biggest Rock n Roll trolls of all time. Alot of what he talks about in his music is a metaphore on Society and how we have fallen.
My favorite reaction channel reacting to my favorite band!!!! Stay on the Ghost train, I specifically like and want to hear more of THIS specific kind of content. Everyone else already explained what you need to know. Any record from any album works for me. Revisit Alice and Chains. My favorite 90’s band when Layne was still living. R.I.P.
I'd love to see more Ghost from you! Square Hammer is probably my favorite but I'm sure there are lots of songs that you would find interesting. Love your analyses and reactions, always happy to see you come up on my feed.
Your reactions to Ghost songs are the same reactions I had when I started listening to Ghost...a couple months ago. But I am totally in love now 💁♀️ Rats was another video I was super confused about, Cardinal Copia, I was like What.Am.I.Looking.At.
An friend who is an LaVeyan Satanist said it great. Ghost does not sing about satan but to Satan. In an genre where they just sing about him an song dedicated towards him is an breath of fresh air. They also did an song called “Bible” which is surprisingly not very satanic and almost heart warming.
To me, the song is about figures of power. Kings and Queens of monarchs, presidents around the world or even wealth-sharks of capitalism. In the first two verses, Papa Emeritus uses words like power, crown, sceptre and gown. All of which are tied to royalty and wealth. This, obviously, resembles their pinnacle, with the pit being the grave they will eventually lay in. Even though they may be much powerful and wealthier than the people they rule over, they will eventually also end up in the same place as them. Everyone's demise is inevitable, no matter who you are. The third and fourth verse directly mentions things related to Lucifer. I think this is both to keep their Satan-gimmick as well as to ironically compare the previously mentioned people to him.
They also mentioned the "Cruciger Globus" (globus cruciger, really) - yet another symbol of power and authority. And "what's flat was round" looks to me like a double meaning - the round Earth looks flat when you crash down from the heavens and plant your face in it, and also after becoming fat and round by overindulgence they are now starving, destitute, and thin (or just old, sick, and generally deflated) so parts of them have become 'flat'.
also the Music Video for this you will see later on in your own time, is actually based on an old movie called Metropolis, where mankind builds a utopia and they abandon god while standing atop their citadel of technology.
I recommend checking out Zeal and Ardor, a band that puts a very different spin on the Satanic imagery of metal music by blending it with black spirituals. Stand out tracks are Servants, Row Row, Blood in the River, Ship on Fire, or Devil is Fine.
Okay if you want to see what this band is all about and just how seriously they take themselves, Id recommend the SiriusXM acoustic performance of Guleah/Zombie Queen
I think Papa is talking directly to the listener. “You have the power, you wear the crown”. He’s using Satan as a symbol for rebellion, greatness, power, etc.
Maybe my favourite Ghost song. I love the rebellious twist in the lyrics. In metal Satan has always been a symbol against religious ignorance and oppression. More that than devil worshipping.
I think when he says "From your empire, they stare and frown" is referring to the other angels when Lucifer was casted out. This is a spin on how Christians claim when The Satan was kicked out the angels weeped. They make it sound like he was beloved and wronged and not because they were sad by his betrayal.
you definitely need to check out more ghost and definitely need to check out some music videos cause they are really fun. dance macabre rats cirice ritual all very fun choices
@MrLboydreacts what a strange video for me to suggest this at... Definitely not thinking they're your vibe but I really don't know your vibe! Lyrics you probably won't get but Vampire Weekend! They have a few great ones and if you do decide to do it I'd say judge it off their album cover or music video cover and then just see if you like it!
They always said the patron symbol of Led Zeppelin is Icarus, but how can one tell Icarus from Lucifer? Ghost is the best living metal band on planet earth. But be warned the devil keeps transforming himself into a being of light but he is really a roaring lion seeking to devour.
The "Oh this is literally about the devil" made me actually laugh out loud.
Ritual, Cirice, He Is, Rats, Life Eternal, Dance Macabre, Year Zero, to name a few.
I second Rats
i third Rats, absolutely love that one.
“Elizabeth”.
Cirice!
Life Eternal was my most played song on Spotify 2019 AND 2020. It's so different from their other stuff but it's brilliant imo.
Ghost are amazing. Just look past the satanic schtick. Won a Grammy for their song Cirice.
i love how Cirice looks like a classic horror movie
Why would I look past the Satanic shtick? It’s my favorite part.
@@autumnphillips151 lol right? nothing like a good gimmick.
Why look past the satanic part?
Nah, EMBRACE the Satanic Schtick.
Ghost does everything from dark to funky in costume, and their live shows are amazing. I highly recommend Cirice and Square Hammer for opposite sounds with great riffs. The religious aspect is more parody than belief.
exactly, Tobias does what he does to mess with the Holy Rollers. lol
Easily one of the best live shows I have seen. I wasn't even a fan and went to a show and was blown away!
"He is" is a awesome video of the parody
If you know Ghost well I believe it goes beyond parody. Well beyond parody.
@@UltimateGamerCC i disagree. his pact with the devil probably goes back to his older brother passing away. hes quite open about it listen to him talk about it
"You are cast out from the heavens to the ground, blackened feathers falling down"

When a band reminds me of both Abba and Morbid Angel they're definitely something special
Both Abba and Ghost are Swedish, and Tobias, the singer, often talks about them as an inspiration.
Didn't expect you to check out Ghost in my feed. Quite the interesting band. They're actually better live than in a studio setting too IMO. If you're going to check out more Ghost I would recommend tour recordings, specifically 2018-Present. Post-2018, their main focuses became sounding good live.

FINALLY!!!!!! THE BEST BAND OUT RIGHT NOW!!! I WOULD SUGGEST A SONG BUT ALL THEIR MUSIC IS FIRE!!!

Stand By Him is another FANTASTIC song by these guys, off their first album! Ritual is another good one
ooh, descending down the Ghost rabbit hole are we? fantastic, Ghost is a cool band and i like how they dont stick to any ONE genre, they're like Prince if he joined Blue Oyster Cult. lol
lol
One of their videos that i think demonstrates Tobias voice is their acoustic version for If you Have Ghosts in the HardDrive Online YT channel, simply tasty and amazing, would love to see you react to that
I absolutely love Ghost, their live rituals are special. Square hammer next please!!
They are wonderful live.
Hehe, I love watching reactions to Ghost videos. Love them so much. Best band I've ever heard.
You should try Square Hammer! It's my favorite!
Ghost is the funhouse mirror reflecting organized religion.
Ghost are fantastic. React to Year zero and Ritual!
Keep going!!! He also put together a bunch of short videos that chronicle the whole Papa saga!!!! Love love this band
Cirice, is an amazing song!

What I really love about Ghost's music is how it can be interpreted.
Ah yes papa Emeritus II 👌🏻 get into all that ghost lore 😂
I’ve been fortunate to see endless bands over the last 30 years and these guys are one the absolute best live acts I’ve ever seen.
I love Ghost! Very awesome live. Year Zero, Monstrous Clock, Well pretty much the whole Infestissuman album is awesome.
THEY DRESS LIKE THAT LIVE..THATS THEIR ANGLE...
I love your videos and I love ghost lol. Fr. Your voice is very calming
More Ghost please!
they're beastly!
I am picturing the meme of this cartoon dog sitting in a burning house saying " this is fine".
XD
Honestly i was dying laughing.
Gost is such an amazing band to sing about satan in such a happy upbeat way.
Really enjoyable.
One of their most recent songs - Kiss the Go-Goat. Banger.
mary on a cross, kiss the go goat, square hammer, mummy dust, witch image, they have a lot of great songs. just to name some more.
Good lord you have the best radio voice ever lol
You should try this video. It's an acoustic version of one of their songs; it's got some character. Ghost "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen" Live @ SiriusXM // Octane @

Emeritus* Not Emirtus....
its not shtick
Him bending over the original group wasn't a performance tho.
@@MW-cx3sbHow did he "bend over the original group" when HE is the band?
I would absolutely love to see a reaction to GWAR's Saddam A-Go Go.
My favorite theatrical band for sure.
Sammy
Could be one of the worlds most underrated bands. They deliver fun as well as hard, serious songs. All backed up with incredibly good musicians.

I love Ghost they have a very refined sound.
Love the Vid🤟🏻 and u have this amazing thing about u. Keep on
It’s like a scary movie in music form! Ghost is amazing…
Ok, the best way to put it is , there is music and there is ghost .
Your reactions to Ghost songs are the same reactions I had when I started listening to Ghost...a couple months ago. But I am totally in love now 💁♀️
Rats was another video I was super confused about, Cardinal Copia, I was like What.Am.I.Looking.At.
Ghost is my fave! And I LOVE Papa 3!!!!
Square Hammer and Dance Macabre!!!!!!!!!!!
An friend who is an LaVeyan Satanist said it great.
Ghost does not sing about satan but to Satan. In an genre where they just sing about him an song dedicated towards him is an breath of fresh air. They also did an song called “Bible” which is surprisingly not very satanic and almost heart warming.
Brother Ali on Sway in the Morning. It's just fun and you can really see how skilled he is live.
Yeaaaahhh Def gotta watch "Cerise."
I’m addicted to your channel. Only found you yesterday through Ardee
To me, the song is about figures of power. Kings and Queens of monarchs, presidents around the world or even wealth-sharks of capitalism. In the first two verses, Papa Emeritus uses words like power, crown, sceptre and gown. All of which are tied to royalty and wealth.

always brilliant
also the Music Video for this you will see later on in your own time, is actually based on an old movie called Metropolis, where mankind builds a utopia and they abandon god while standing atop their citadel of technology.
The Deezer session of Absolution is just perfect. you should check that out too.
Ghost is the most genius Marketing band of all time, i dont know a band as cohesive and smart as them
This is a LIVE version done for Deezer.
For real check out Year zero, and rats
Gotta check out dance macabre, rats, and cirice
I recommend checking out Zeal and Ardor, a band that puts a very different spin on the Satanic imagery of metal music by blending it with black spirituals. Stand out tracks are Servants, Row Row, Blood in the River, Ship on Fire, or Devil is Fine.
Stranger Fruit too
You gotta check "he is" by the same band, that track is just beautiful
He already did that one... look it up 👍
@@chrisa5093 oh thanks didn't know that, I mostly watch hip-hop related reactions of his, ig that didn't pop up in my home page.
Thanks again.
I would love to see more reactions to Ghost!
Okay if you want to see what this band is all about and just how seriously they take themselves, Id recommend the SiriusXM acoustic performance of Guleah/Zombie Queen
Oh wow lol that was a surprise.
Yes, more Ghost please.
HAIL SATAN! honestly, it's more trolling than anything. They're amazing live. Saw them 3 times on last tour cycle. Every show was awesome!
Im so glad you reacted to Ghost they are literally my most favorite openly satanic band
You should cheek out ’Them Croocked Vultures’ Really good band
I think Papa is talking directly to the listener. “You have the power, you wear the crown”. He’s using Satan as a symbol for rebellion, greatness, power, etc.
More ghost please
Oh fuck yeah
Maybe my favourite Ghost song. I love the rebellious twist in the lyrics. In metal Satan has always been a symbol against religious ignorance and oppression. More that than devil worshipping.
Square Hammer is a must
You should react to more of their music!
Yesssss more Ghost! 🙌🏻
Please more Ghost. Cirice or Marionette.
Review Ghost's "Square Hammer"
Cirice!
I think when he says "From your empire, they stare and frown" is referring to the other angels when Lucifer was casted out. This is a spin on how Christians claim when The Satan was kicked out the angels weeped. They make it sound like he was beloved and wronged and not because they were sad by his betrayal.
Papa Emeritus is great. He's like the Pope, but more fun and way more trustworthy.
you definitely need to check out more ghost and definitely need to check out some music videos cause they are really fun.
dance macabre
rats
cirice
ritual
all very fun choices
Do square hammer by Ghost!
The true crucifix
Ghost squarehammer
Cirice is an amazing song by them, also listen to Rats.
The Coldplay of metal
you mean cause the vocals dont sound like shit?
@@Ianews1 because they’re light and fluffy pop sounding
Don’t pretend Coldplay aren’t shit
@@metalbowser23 Sir I would never be so bold as to pretend Coldplay arent shit!

GHOST
They are excellent. Where's the lie?
More Ghost please! You have reacted to them before by the way.
I interpreted the song as a like Ms. America type person lol
Year Zero
Dance Macabre
Square Hammer
Cirice
Rats
Absolution
React to “Satan Prayer” its very under rated, i haven’t seen any other reactor do that one yet, its very catchy , I’m sure youll like it 👌🏽
They always said the patron symbol of Led Zeppelin is Icarus, but how can one tell Icarus from Lucifer? Ghost is the best living metal band on planet earth. But be warned the devil keeps transforming himself into a being of light but he is really a roaring lion seeking to devour.
If you like Ghost, you'll love Sleep Token.
Please react to Year Zero by Ghost❤️🔥
If you haven't yet done it do something off the new album impera
This song is about Lucifer’s Fall.
