Hey it's me! This song was a tricky one, because Ghost jumps in and out of prog but don't have a lot of pure "prog" songs. So I toyed with this one for a while and finally just suggested so I'd quit thinking about it :) Also this album is by far my favorite and their best composed one (imo), so I wanted you to hear the opener. Thanks!
@@deanwolfechannel They are top 5 live for me. I've seen them twice, and the last tour they did a 2 parter: first set was all their spooky, super old stuff. Then an intermission, then they came out with the newer 80s-rock style bangers and more fun. The lead guy has a great sense of humor you don't really know unless you watch interviews or live stuff. We also had fundamental Christian protestors outside. I didn't talk to them, but I wanted to reassure them we were there for the gag and not actual Satanists. They might as well have protested a professional wrestling match.
@@WillFlowersWEF You were right to not bother. Chances are, they would have not listened to a word you had to say. When Christians-or followers of any inflexible belief system, really- are confronted with the very _idea_ of a contrary or critical viewpoint, even in jest or satire, many times their go-to response will be to put up a mental barrier and tell themselves that the person talking to them is either deluded or outright lying. There do exist educated, open-minded Christians that are secure in their faith while still being able to acknowledge and even understand other points of view- many Ghost fans are even Christians who just dig the music and see performance art for what it is: entertainment, nothing more- but unfortunately, they’re not nearly as loud and driven as the vocal minority of uneducated, judgmental, and hypocritical Bible-thumpers the likes of which you’ll see protesting Ghost shows or anime conventions. Last time I attended a local convention, there were a bunch of Evangelical protesters standing in a crowd by the entrance with signs depicting graphic images of dead, bloody babies, calling all the attendees coming in or out “whores and sinners,” presumably because they were in cosplay, some of which was skimpy or just “weird” by normal tastes? I really just don’t get it. I should get off the soapbox though. It’s just that I am so sick of willful ignorance. Ghost is such a great band for a ton of reasons, but what immediately endeared me to them was their sense of humor and their fearlessness to really dig in with the mockery of all the fears and absurdities of the sort of people that have shown me and many of the people I cherish very dearly a lifetime’s worth of ostracism and contempt. On a less preachy note, I hope their shows this fall will have a similar set format to the shows you were talking about. I was there for that tour I think. Two acts, constant costume changes, plenty of representation from their entire catalogue… it was magnificent. Even if they still stick to a shorter set, I just hope Papa takes care of his voice. He blew it out pretty bad at Hellfest.
I'm impressed at the discipline it must take to not devour Ghost's entire catalog. I remember the day they popped up in the list of songs Spotify recommended for me (2013 or so). Total light bulb moment for me.
Ghost may not be the most ‘progressive’ by definition band but they have amazing songs regardless. Cirice is my all time favorite. I’ve seen Ghost live twice and they were both some of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
I believe you’re talking about The Marble Shrine when you say TMV camp. I’ve literally dedicated multiple limbs to them with a ton of artwork, so I’m gonna feel really silly if I’ve never heard of a second fan club. If you go here on TH-cam to their Marble Shrine channel they have been posting tons of classic live videos every day.
Yeah, he was pretty down to earth guy. It was happenstance that i got to do a meet and greet with him... someone at the concert had 2 VIP extra spaces in there Group and asked us! So got to meet Nd get a picture for FREE. I was jazzed.
You’ll need to tune down to D standard for pretty much every Ghost song :) I’m excited you’re getting into this band! One of my three favorite discoveries over the last 20 years!
My Recommendations for you. Rats, Square Hammer, Year Zero, Stand By Him, Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Dance Macabre, Cirice, Mummy Dust, Majesty. Love The Videos
Amazing how I caught I appear missing by qotsa at the end there haha, random. qotsa are one of my favourite bands and Spirit is a top 5 ghost song for me. Zenith and Majesty are also great tracks and pretty proggy, worth a listen!
@@deanwolfechannel The moment you start the rabbithole of Nightwish music, you will hear from the so-called Nightwish Armee. A group of 5000 enthousiastic peaceful Nightwish fans. They will recommend to react to live performances as Nightwish is considered to be one of the best live bands with a phenomenal female singer Floor Jansen. As I understood you are also a Pink Floyd fan. You will like the tribute of Nightwish to Pink Floyd High Hopes. (2005). Be surprised.

This song gets an "friendly ear worm" award from me...I was singing it for a couple days in my head

I spend minimal time on spotify and prefer my growing vinyl collection

Ghost is a fun band, ive seen them 5 times, and Im part of the Tool Army and TMV camp, glad Ghost is getting some shine

This is such a Moody Blues song, right down to a 3-5-6-6/4-5-4 lyric pattern Pindar and Thomas were fond of. It is my favorite Ghost song.
Wow! I'm kicking myself for taking this long to catch this vid! That was some great sh*t! 😜🤘👻
Love Ghost!! I'm excited to see you get further into their work. 😁
I'VE met the singer Tobias forge as Cardinal Copia got to take a picture with him and chat.
Cool, nice guy?
Yeah, he was pretty down to earth guy. It was happenstance that i got to do a meet and greet with him... someone at the concert had 2 VIP extra spaces in there Group and asked us! So got to meet Nd get a picture for FREE.
I was jazzed.
More Ghost PLEASE!!! Nice video bro!
yes, need to soon.
You’ll need to tune down to D standard for pretty much every Ghost song :) I’m excited you’re getting into this band! One of my three favorite discoveries over the last 20 years!
Same same!
Out of curiosity, what are the others?
@@e_r_i_k_w Avatar and Jinjer.
@@MattKrogmeier Thanks! I'll check them out.
@@e_r_i_k_w My suggestions for first listen for both bands - Avatar "The Eagle Has Landed" and for Jinjer "Pisces (Live Session). Enjoy!
Love Love LOVE the chords on this song🤘 Ghost is a remarkable band. Want to see them live at some point.
My Recommendations for you. Rats, Square Hammer, Year Zero, Stand By Him, Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Dance Macabre, Cirice, Mummy Dust, Majesty. Love The Videos
Not bad🤘🏽 Dean thank you for this channel dude! Much love my man 🙏
Ghost is a great band, you're gonna love the journey of discovering them
Amazing how I caught I appear missing by qotsa at the end there haha, random. qotsa are one of my favourite bands and Spirit is a top 5 ghost song for me. Zenith and Majesty are also great tracks and pretty proggy, worth a listen!
Good one!
love that Anciients album next to CtS. Underrated band!
They are local to me so as soon as I heard about them I wanted to support them
i'd recommend listening to their first album from start to finish, i think it'd be up your alley. you don't have to react to it, just enjoy it.
I suggest you to watch Ghost Hellfest live 2016...their best performence my opinion....🇸🇪...(original band members).....🇸🇪🇸🇪
Their first record was a ripper. Something changed when the old members left and the singer's identity became known
hard to be consistent with members changing
It's hard to deny the showmanship and craftmanship of Tobias though, he can whip out some amazing songs
Yeah, the music got better 😁
If you really want to understand this band, start from their fist album and work your way through them chronologically.
Great idea
Please start opening a new world of music with Nightwish. Start with Ghost love score live Wacken 2013) . You won’t regret it.
Nightwish is a new one for me to explore too
