If you liked this, I just did another one for My Chemical Romance: th-cam.com/video/ycB4DftOdjE/w-d-xo.html
I would think this was a ghost song if I heard this for the first time
I’ll definitely check it out!
@@danieldo169 Yes!
This song is too good to be a parody
That is another great song!
I am convinced this is actually Tobias Forge pretending to be someone else pretending to be Tobias Forge pretending to be the Papa
no way to know for sure
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How avant-garde!
Whoa, like some sort of... Ghostception?
They don't take themselves too seriously, so fans shouldn't either....
He killed me with the "Slayer, but slower." On point.
“Very evil sounding.”👍🏼
Yes, thus Slayer never used all that major crap...
I just discovered Ghost. And exactly my first thoughts
@@kinoglaz777 Slayer hardly plays in a key lol
I want to add a thumbs up, but its at 666... can't do it.
This is just Tobias's way of telling us he forgot to include one song on Impera and he's too embarrassed to admit it.
10/10 album still
i thought he intentionally did that so that the total of all the songs he put out thus far would add up to 66
This song is more suited for opus eponymous
As a Ghost fan I accept this as cannon.
That’s high praise
They understood the assignment
As not a ghost fan..
Is this actually them??
@@albertgein3082 they're not ghost, but they got the sound really close and it sounds amazing
You mean this goes boom?
"we leave this one unresolved... for SATAN"
"hail Satan"
I'm fucking dying
It’s part of the magic, for SATAN
Yeah that is funny as Hell
We all are
This is not funny!!! Repent of your sins and ask Christ Jesus to forgive you to keep you from hell fire for eternity..
@@brandimcdaniel9769 I did and Jesus was like "bro, chill, this shit's hilarious, haters be damned!"
“Satan will fax us the lyrics later” is my favorite line. 😂
Mine too! Faxing: the most Satanic form of communication.
As a Ghost fan i can say with a 100% certainty that this could be a Ghost song, and i'll listen to it the whole day.
And I see nothing wrong with that!
dude same
@@ThESkAnKiEsTfRaNkThAtEvErWaS i can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart, i can see thru the scars inside you 😏
100%
Is it only me or that songs sounds like mix of hunters moon with mummy dust
Anyone notice Bass Ghoul was still in the song? Dude survived his execution and powered through his injury to finish the song. Mad respect.
He’s not gonna let a little thing like “being dead” stop him!
Thats how tought bass players are
they just don't wanna say that he came back from the ashes of the hell`s desires.
I noticed it on the 9th or 10th time I watched it. This is great!
They are ghost in the end so... Quite fitting
This literally sounds exactly like Ghost and its scary. They could sneak this in an album and nobody would notice.
As long as they pass along some of the earnings, I’m sure it would be fine.
Were do you think Ghost get their songs from?
This is because...it is actually a Ghost song.
Really?
@@SignOfTheWarrior which one? (for the viewers: he will never answer)
it's terrifying how much this sounds like an actual song from our favourite scooby doo band
Copying is easy.
I think this is supposed to be hunters moon
666 likes
I wanted to like your comment but I don't want to ruin the 666 likes streak :(
scooby doom
"its so hard to find good ghouls these days", ouch right into my feelings :(
Hard, but not impossible, here you are right?
Saw you in Columbus Ohio a few days ago! YOU GUYS ROCKED!!
PS, Ohioans are called Buckeyes lol.
🤘🤘
Ayoooo Ghoul the epic funny valorant guy! Funny seeing you here
@@CapCrunch514 dude you do realize that this isn't actually ghost right?
Happy to be the 666th like
“We leave this one unresolved for Satan” 🤣🤣 …so many great lines in this skit.
Hail Satan!
@@sylph8005 😌✊
"Hail Satan!"
"Holy Hand grenade!" - Monty Python
Ominous-er!
as someone who hasnt stopped listening to ghost for a straight week at this point, this is 100% a ghost song
No shredding !!
Me too lol
Lol
Hell it is
🤣🤣🤣🤣same
“Scooby doo chase music???” “Ehh that’s fair” literally how I describe my favorite band lol
th-cam.com/video/ikX-SyLXuYM/w-d-xo.html
OH BRUH I GOT IT THAT’S AMAZING
That is my favorite part of the video!! Lol
I thought he said Scooby doo Jazz music 😂
@@xboxxasther3512 I heard that too.
Ghost should definitely cover this, can’t get any closer to an original Ghost song than this. Amazing
As a Ghost fan, I say I hope Tobias steals this song, but also pay you up for the job. I'm literally considering showing it to a fellow friend pretending it's actual Ghost just to see his reaction.
Please do, and film his reaction for me hahaha
I have seen photos of Ghost , have scanned past their videos when they show up on my feed , so I decided to watch this video , it would have been the first Ghost video for me , I love this song , thought I was hearing my first Ghost song , but apparently it's NOT , anyway , the band that wrote and performed in this cool video has a new fan ! 👍🙂
I did Rats ,Square Hammer , Call me little sunshine and Hunters moon and haven't seen a dime
Did you?
@@dojyr3130 I did. I actually waited until the new album was released and then showed him the song. He found Tobias' voice a bit weird but overall hel 100% fell for it, and loved the tune. "Man, this new album is really full of gems" his words.
Ghost is my favorite Scooby Doom band
hahaha Scooby Doom that's great
Hahahah
loool
😂
Hahahahaha..Scooby doom....hahahah
The fact that this actually sounds like it could be an official Ghost song is absolutely insane and i love it
I Would pay money to see Tobias's reaction
Me too
@@treyxaviermusic dude get him on stream and show him 😂😂😂
He's gonna love this!
I predict Ghost to preform this live. (Don't shoot me if anyone already predicted this further down in the comments.)
He’d sue.
Not only is this a perfectly valid ghost song, this is the most accurate fan portrayal of papa emeritus II ive ever seen in my life.
thats not to hard
.... have you seen GOATS ?
666th like 😎
"We leave this one unresolved... for Satan!"
Ghouls: "HAIL SATAN!!!"
I spat out my drink at that part!! Lmao
😂🤣😂🤣
🤘😈🤘
As a ghost fan
Not only is this canon
Pretty sure this also explains what happened to the original band members post Lawsuit
Yes,i'm a Ghost fan too...
Can you blow this out of your ass cuz their music sucks
Excellent 😂
It's not Canon it's Canon Event Certified
"if you shred your dead" then someone shredded
I mean, I know this was meant as a parody, but you guys actually did a pretty fantastic job of writing a Ghost song. As a Ghost fan myself, I'm not even mad. This is a banger.
Yea its amazing
I do really agree!!! This song was great!
you can’t convince me this isnt just a ghost song
I did a Slipknot one too 👀
This better be on there new album.
MeatCanyon likes ghost, hell yea.
Unholy shit crossover ghost meets mc
Hell yeah
papameat
Looking forward to the next monster lab 🤘🏻
I'm a Ghost fan and also a musician. This is tits. That part about the keyboards major, minor, unresolved - holy crow that was spot on. There are at least 20 different "nailed it" moments in this video - and the song is parody perfection except better.
That's high praise!
@@treyxaviermusic worthy
Won me at faxing lyrics
@@MarcusFHurt Unresolved for Satan - that's what won me
'tis tits, it is inteet!
Your ghoul mime acting is outstanding. Their reaction to Papa's "checking the Internet" is hysterical!
The skit itself was well worth the praise already. I was not expecting there to be an actual song at the end though, so I was blown away by the accuracy of the whole thing! I hear elements from "Rats," "Monstrance Clock," "Square Hammer," "Dance Macabre," everything is written perfectly!
i hear some hunters moon too
@@luker2935 You know, as soon as I listened to Hunter's Moon again after hearing this, I noticed that they sound so much alike!
Yeah it's a song called "The Gaudy Cross" by Trey Xavier!
Don't forget the flash of Cirice!
And Griftwood.
Love how ghost is Swedish and papa has a Italian accent
He'sa da freakin Evil Pope!
I was looking for this comment
Its a character :)
@Minwon Jang well... because Vatican?
More like a random mix of russian, italian and german accents
I like Ghost's music, but this is so fucking accurate it's hilarious lol. The song at the end is actually really good and could be an actual Ghost song lol
Yo this demo song killed haha
Guess you could say that it sent them to the afterlife....
Drew, nice to see you here brother. 🤘
Only once, almost twice. You have to keep those ghouls in line, you know? I think guitar ghoul held it together well without shredding.
But don't shred. You shred, you're dead.
I absolutely love that Ghost solos are more about the song then the shred but that bit killed me, because now I'm gonna imagine Tobias sitting there as he's tracking, muttering to himself "you shred, you're dead."
I mean, if there's shred, isn't it his fault to begin with?
Tobias admitted that he has basically no talent at guitar shredding, which is why he never does it. The solo in "Faith" was actually really difficult for him, and he called in the guy from Opeth to do the "Helvetesfonster" classical guitar piece.
It's actually true. GHOST solos are about the proper note selection for mood effect rather than just being some 80's thrash shredder which has been driven into the ground.
I like to think he's had that slogan made into a motivational poster and stuck it all over the studio
I also love the guitar solos on Ghost. It's simmilar to Beatles solos in that respect, they are an integral part of the sound of the song, you can't imagine it with a different solo.
This is officially a GHOST classic
This… actually sounds like a ghost song.
Honestly, how cool would it be if ghost did a cover for this though lol
This sounds like a legit Ghost song and I love it, great job Trey
“If you shred you’re dead” 😂 I keep repeating but and laughing out loud. This is absolutely an actual ghost song. Great cover man! 😂😂😂
Instructions unclear.
Am now hailing Santa.
Give it a few weeks and so will the weather
Hail Stan

Hail Pasta!
As a Ghost fan… yeah that seems pretty accurate. Spooky Scooby-Doom metal. It even has the rotating cast of Ghouls in there too.
So… “Ominouser” and “Where is Bass Ghoul?!” Have become a running joke in our house. Especially between my 12 year old daughter and me.
Also, would love to hear Ghost & Tobias’ reaction to this!
I want this as my ring tone and alarm!
Lmao, you're a W dad
And still watching this…
Not only is this absolutely hilarious, it is also brilliant. I could not stop laughing during the creation, but the end result sounded exactly like a GHOST song, whom of which I am a huge fan of. Glad I found this channel, it is so great. Keep it up!
Right!? I legit listen to this song on Spotify so much!
Thank you! Got a new one up for MCR
i literally cheered like the ghouls when he said "we leave this one unresolved- for satan"
This tri tone joke got me 💀
That cracked me up! It does make the listeners very uncomfortable not to finish the chord progression. 🤣
You made this as a meme? Bro this has been in my playlist for months
The skit is a meme, the song is more of a tribute. That’s super sick it’s in your playlist!
@@treyxaviermusic and a reply?!? bro you just made my day 🙏 keep doing what you’re doing
I bet Tobias Forge will love this… seriously.
Ya know, if someone told me this was a new Ghost song, I would believe it.
Anyone remember the old Jhofffilms Ghost parodies lol! Trey captured the spirit well hahaha
Me too! They nailed Ghost's sound AND style literally to a cross! 😅👊
I keep coming back to this one. It's funny as hell and the song itself is surprisingly good. I can't believe the amount of work and talent it must have taken to create this, analyzing and pinpointing exactly what makes a great Ghost song, playing all the instruments AND writing a skit full of hilarious inside-jokes that could only have been written by a true Ghost fan. Awesome stuff!
Simultaneously hilarious and actually rather accurate as well. And that song, it could easily fit into any ghost album without anyone noticing it wasn't them AND it freaking rocks.
An intelligent, funny and respectful parody, awesome job!
It wouldn't really fit in as much before Popestar, but it would definitely fit right in there or Prequelle
That “cross” whisper was so fucking spot on for their music
As a ghost fan, I have watched this video 666 times. It is so good, I will never get tired of it and will probably re-watch it many times in the future!
Told you I would be back! Like Slaaaaayer but sloooooower
Satire crated with obvious love and respect! Well done!
yeah I love Ghost
Only genuine love allows one to pick up as much details as you did!
I watched this twice, I can't get over the "you shred, you're dead" and killing the bass ghoul lmao, as a huge Ghost fan and musician, you guys nailed both the humor and style of Ghost, the song is exceptionally well written and has all the classic Ghost elements! I'd love to see Tobias Forge's reaction to this.
I come back to this video every week because it’s hilarious and genuinely a good song 🤘
I like when the keyboardist goes 😶🤚
The new Ghost song "Little Sunshine" literally has different names for Satan in the lyrics.
and the kind of all of those songs... year zero :D
You must be new here.
Ah. So you've heard that chorus once or twice by now as well.. Splendid. Everything is going according to plan.. yesssss
Not satan it’s satans messenger that makes the deal with Faust which is Mephistopheles
You've never heard of Year Zero???
as a ghost fan, i dont find this "offensive" actually, this is a song i would listen to.
As a ghost fan this is extremely accurate
U think I wouldn’t notice Tobias pretending to be Tobias
I feel comforted by the fact that if Ghost ever split up we can ask Trey to write a new album
Just the right amount of ABBA! It's crazy how close to Ghost this actually sounds!
The skit itself was just hilarious and to top it off there was what actually could pass as a ghost song at the end which I was NOT expecting! Could hear elements from the older Ghost like monstrance clock and newer sounding Ghost songs like dance macabre and even square hammer. To the creator of this, rock onn haba
I love how this is just a combination of Absolution and Hunter's Moon
I based it off Hunter’s Moon, Rats, and Square Hammer mainly
@@treyxaviermusic I can kinda hear it
You're right lad
LITERALLY lmao
Sounds like circe
"a wise man once said a riff is not a song. I killed him later" 😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed this. I like Trey's funny side
As a ghost fan, you could legitimately sneak this into an album
Apart from the voice not sounding like Tobias i could easily mistake this for a Ghost original. Well done.
I think it sounds pretty damn close to Tobias
@@Skyunai_Official Nah it doesnt
@@Bramble20322 Agreed - it's also plagued with auto-tune.
The instrumental part is pretty cool though
"A once very important man told me, A Riff is not a song... I killed him later but not for saying that" that shit made me spill my coffee
I love ghost but this is helariously genius. Holy crap this sounds really good too. You guys nail this. Hey ghost kills it in concert by the way. Great stuff here.
You absolutely undersold the quality of this song in your stream. Totally worth the extra day of waiting.
Yup lol
So good on so many levels! :-)
it's better than Hunters Moon
can we just talk about the insane production quality
This feels like a mix of hunters moon and seven inches of satanic panic and I’m lovin it
definitely hunter's moon, but not the 1969 EP.
With hints of Dance Macabre
@@JackieTheCatfox and griftwood!
All kidding aside, you killed the analysis of the Ghost songwriting anatomy.
Your channel is absolute gold. You should easily have a million subscribers. I subbed. Keep up the good work
Me and a couple guys in my band are HUGE FANS of this video in particular.
"SUS chord, resolve" has become a meme for us.
It's on point.
next time you write a vintage rock / metal song, you should get Tobias to sing on it. That would be funny.
I wish I could, can you tell him to call me hahaha
Started watching, expecting an actual walk thru of the creative process. I could not have been more delighted to be wrong. I died, then was revived just to write this comment.
Proof of greatness for Ghost right here. When a spoof is such an honorable tribute it might actually be as good as a Grammy winning band. Well done!
HOLY SHIT! I'm a Ghost FANATIC and was prepared to be really pissed off, but instead I ended up laughing my tits off! I can't argue with any of this. Still fucking love Ghost, sorry not sorry, but this was so accurate it hurt me a little. LOL
3:38 "It's just a flesh wound" 😁
Incredible. I really hope they get a heads up to watch this. Non-stop bangers, T.
Spam them with it!
Tobias totally needs to sing this in a ghost concert!!
Dude, that riff = 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Ghost superfan, this song is legit good! Damn...it sounds exactly like Ghost lol
As a huge fan of ghost i can confirm that this is probably how they write songs😭
No need to cry. Just because someone analyzes music doesn't make it any worse.
‘Probability’ and ‘confirmation’ doesn’t go hand in hand.
False. Tobias is a one man band. He writes and plays everything himself, aside from the drums. It's only him in studio with an unnamed drummer. The ghouls are merely stage performers- he gives them the music to play on tour.
@@Mellycat89 It was revealed, like, 6 years ago that he wasn’t a one man band. By the time the world found out they DIDN’T actually replace Papa with a new person from album to album..
The most recent news of Ghost in the studio is even Tobias stating; “I am a control freak. But that doesn’t mean I’m in control.”
Pretty sure that states the so called “ghouls” aren’t just there to perform on stage. But hey, what do I know? 🤷🏼
@@muskelvand Probably also has something to do with their older stuff being way more interesting than the last couple of records. I'd bet it was a more democratic process in the beginning. I might be wrong though ... The arena anthem radio rock is getting a bit played out on this last record. Just sounds like they're stuck on repeat now.
Honestly this song literally slaps and is 100% on point the beginning guitar riff is so fucking nice to listen too😫
the amount of money i’d pay to hear ghost play this holy fuck
I love Ghost, but this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I seem to always come back to this video just to hear the song. It’s awesome
Seriously though... how did you nail the vocals so well? It actually sounds like Tobias.
You just do a slightly less nasally Weird Al with a little more grit
@@treyxaviermusic when the song started, my first thought was Weird Al
@@treyxaviermusic perfect description of Tobias' voice.
@@treyxaviermusic when I 1st listened to Ghost, I thought that it was actually Weird Al 😭😂
Who was behind the mic? Was it Tobias himself? 😄
The accuracy of this is outstanding. Surely Ghost actually record this song and release it for real
Wow, I thought this was just going to be a meme, but the song at the end actually slapped, and sounds like something Ghost would actually write.
BRO THIS IS AWESOME 😂😂😂
dear dark lord this was great!
YOURE GREAT
Tobias was just bidding his time all along to fund his true passion project of creating his own Scooby doo case scene for Rite Here Rite Now
Laughed my ass off through this whole thing. Nice work! It was Papa's jump back at the jet ski injury for me lmao.
The "I've gotta make everything myself" part is so painfully accurate.
Also you sound SO much like early Ghost it's delightful! Missed that sound a lot!
"Ominous-ER?" I watched this several times and I still laugh hearing that :D hats off for creating both a funny video and an amazing song
Mans literally made ghost in a nutshell and it’s still a masterpiece of a song
This was FORGED from greatness. Well done !
That's way too fucking accurate lmaooo. If you played this for me I'd think it was actually a new song by them.
Absolutely hilarious.
+1 for the Wilhelm scream
Glad somebody caught that hahaha
I am a fan of Ghost, and this is actually a good representation.
EPIC!!!! Bass Ghoul playing at the end was the icing on the cake! 🤘🤣
