#Ghost are undeniably one of the most powerful forces in the world of hard rock and heavy metal. Commanding legions of fans under the the joyous guise of an elaborate Satanic church-Ghost seemingly have the power to manifest any whim that their bandleader and visionary, Tobias Forge, can dream of. Despite their massive artistic prestige, skyrocketing notoriety and being tight with the Devil-Ghost must still succumb to the will of the most powerful and evil forces on the planet-the almighty dollar.
In this APTV exclusive, Forge discusses his frustrations trying to bring his decadant visions to life while still having to stay on budget and reveals the two music video ideas from Ghost's back catalogue that have yet to be produced.

I like square hammer, rats, and dance manbac and the new stuff is pretty good.❤️
@@nobodyhere8185 Square Hammer and Dance Macabre are my favourites but Copia's dancing on the rats MV can never be topped
@@isispzl8757 I agree the dance was my favorite part about the video.
It's hard to choose but I really love the aesthetics and theme of Square Hammer.
My favourite is Cirice. I love Baby Papa and the whole talent show/Carrie theme
Tobias is the kind of guy that I would like to spend hours having deep conversations. I wish he could see himself as we fans do
imagine looking and sounding the way he does and still having self-esteem issues
not even rockstars are safe from it
I wanted to hug him when he said that :(
Why would he not have selfesteem issues because of the way he looks? Im not saying he is ugly in any way. I always thought he looked extremely normal.
Some people think he has a BIG ego. I don't agree with them. After he had some "legal issues" with the former "nameless Ghouls" some Ghost fans thought that Tobias had an ego problem. From what I heard many of the former Ghouls had NOT done much to contribute to Ghost, BUT, they wanted to get all the money that was made.
I guess that most of us will never know exactly what happened with them. I like all Ghost songs except "Kiss kiss the goat". I DO Miss Omega in Ghost, I have heard that Martin is still friends with Tobias. Martin is now in MCC.
@@nickj4785 When it comes to a person being "sexy" alot of it has to do with their talent and how they use what they've got, so, they may NOT be ULTRA good looking, BUT, a person can be VERY sexy using their personality. Now, IF they are SUPER unattractive, they will likely NOT be seen as sexy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tobias is attractive and talented, so, he need NOT worry about being perfect. AS for having a "Bruce Lee" physique. Bruce Lee was sick and too damn skinny right before he died, so, Tobias need NOT envy his body. Bruce Lee was severely underweight when he died, anyway, I doubt that Tobias was TOO serious about all of that anyway. I am kinda drunk so IF my comment seems a bit weird THAT is why.
@@juliegogola4647 Tobias always made all music alone. Omega wrote the instrumentals for Year Zero and Zenith and he did not even join in the lawsuit. The rest were just paid musicians that wanted an equal share when they saw Ghost was going to hit the big scenes in the near future. Tobias, as talented as he is remains incredibly humble and down to earth, cares about fans and the music. And yes Martin and Tobias are friends still, Martin had a special thanks in the Prequelle record. What remains unclear is that how and why Martin was kicked. We only know that Martin was interfering with the production in a way that nobody liked.
I got to hug him when I met him 9/13/2019 🖤 it was SURREAL.
It's so weird to hear him say that he wants to sing like someone but I want to sing like him.
his voice is literally the most beautiful
Use a super light head dominant mix throught your whole range and talk sing. YW.
same
I love watching interviews by him. He is sooo real and down to earth. I love all of his Forge-isms and little things he does!
His facial expressions kill me. Great personality and sense of humor. Had the opportunity to speak to him briefly in 2017. Very cool dude.
I'm right there with you! Love the hand gestures. Love all the incorporated sound effects. Love his "heh heh heh" laugh. And just how goddamn brilliant he is!
I don't listen to metal bands, and I'm sick of their same old aesthetic and singing voices, but Ghost really captured my interest with their relatively new and creative ways. I love Tobias' voice, it's clear and different from the "metal" voice. I think he is an extremely articulate, intelligent and good looking person too.
Oh Tobias, it's your voice that brought my attention to Ghost. You have killer harmonies in your songs. The music's amazing. Your choice of using an alter ego to front the band is an excellent idea and your videos are great... though I would have loved to see what you had planned for Life Eternal. Can't wait for what comes next.
As do I (Life Eternal), it's me and my girlfriend's song
He might not sing like Freddie Mercury (still sounds awesome, though!), but his showmanship and ability to work a crowd definitely reminds me of Freddie sometimes. You've got something great going there, Tobias, don't be so hard on yourself!
We just saw ghost live this past Friday in san diego ! My husband literally said the way Tobias moves on stage reminds him of freddie !
Tobias moves on the stage so beautifully and so captivatingly 🖤
I love everything I've ever heard or seen of him, but he seems like he's so terrifyingly perfectionist.
He said that before. He is very perfectionist
that´s propably why you like evrything you have seen of him.
It’s funny his birthday is 3/3 and mine is 3/1…he’s a year younger than me and hearing him it’s like him explaining who I am but have a hard time explaining to people. He explains it for me ❤
Why would he want to sound like Freddy Mercury, when he can sound like Tobias Forge?
Itsame Malario because Freddie Mercury is a legend but Tobias sounds just fine as is
Tobias Forge's singing voice is absolutely perfect for Ghost.
Because if you could have Freddie's vocal control, the sky's the limit.
Freddie was the penultimate frontman.
Its very hard not to compare yourself to him.
I love both Freddie and Tobias. Apples and oranges. I love them both. Need them both in my life.
I find it interesting that how he wants to be someone else on stage. That he doesn't feel he is interesting enough to be an unmasked front man. But in reality he's a descent looking guy and extremely talented. I love his voice it's clear and clean. I will admit the first time I saw them I thought his voice didn't match the music but it works.
@Makeup Minion Isn't there some CODE OF ETHICS in Sweden regarding modesty? It has a certain name
@@LGMH69 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante
People like Alice Cooper, the guys from KISS, and David Bowie were quite famous for inventing these characters/personas to hide behind and/or be creative with. Bowie in particular was quoted, way beyond the Ziggy years, as saying he's "not really up there to be himself. It's just not what [he does]."
@Cardinal Copia's Love Slave uhhhhh....biased much? Lol. Average looking guy...you are transposing your love of his music into an infatuation of him. Let's be honest.
@@LGMH69 Jantelagen. The law of Jante
Wow those videos for Elizabeth, Body and Blood, and Life Eternal sound awesome. Hopefully they can be made some day. It's never too late. I mean Elton John released an official video for Rocketman a few years ago. 😂
I need to see those music videos for Elizabeth and Body and Blood. :o
Anna Hudgins Body and Blood and Life Eternal I need to know what they could’ve been
I want one for Satan Prayer. 😂 That would be amazing!
I never would have guessed that Forge was that insecure about himself. I guess it was a blessing in disguise though because without it we probably never get Papa.
Enjoy watching this unfold in real time friends, decades later Ghost will be remembered as musical geniuses
Sooner than that.
“Let’s pretend, ok?! Goddamnit...” *TF classic chuckle* Love it
I wish he could see himself (and potential) as his fans see him! He is Cohen, Lee and Holms all rolled into one! 🥰
Yes,he is. All of them.
Makes me wonder what those Papa I and II music videos would have been like, especially Papa I.
If I win the lottery I'm just giving all my money to Tobias so he can do more of the things he wants.
Anyone who aspires to be a combination of Leonard Cohen, Bruce Lee and Freddie Mercury has my support lol
Dont forget John Holmes.
My daughter loves Ghost and wants to do something for her school talent show but feels the same way Tobias does. I explained to her she can be anything she wants and she can even dress like Papa, full regalia- if that helps her feel more comfortable being onstage. So seeing this... and how he feels about it...I totally understand what hes saying.
tobias, your voice is AMAZING! you don’t need to sound like anyone else. you’re unique and a great human being. that’s all that matters
He’s a brilliant vocalist, when I heard Dance Macabre I thought “ damn this guy has range”.
In the eighties he would have been a god but there’s still time. I just found Ghost and I’m hooked
I think my heart stopped 10 times in 10 minutes. Thank you.
But why is he so hard on himself? 😭
I love that he is so humble. It's adorable.
Because he’s a perfectionist
Favorite Ghost video.. Square Hammer.. The setting is awesome.. The acting is well done and fun...
He is ... However is the most beautiful filmed...
Jason Hitesman it’s hard for me to pick which music video I really like because every music video is so different
@@sarahsullivan5270 what is also wild and would love to see... Is the videos are alot in the same timeline.. Kiss the Goat and Dance Macabre are 40 years apart... My theory is the main female lead in both is the connection.. I believe she is the "handler/assistant" for the current pope.. In Kiss the Goat.. He "cheats on her" and she punishes him.. In Dance Macabre she has selected the male lead as the next pope.. Yes she ages but has the power to change her looks or influence how people see her.. So the very beginning of kiss the Goat and the entire video of Dance Macabre are happening at the same time.
But thats just a theory!! Lol
Jason Hitesman the two people in Kiss the Goat and Dance Macabre are Sister Imperator and Papa Nihil
@@sarahsullivan5270 awe sweet... So I am not crazy... And more insight is good..
And i am wondering if Cirice could be incorporated as the kid who grows up to become Papa Nihil.. Because I want to say its set maybe the eighties???
Jason Hitesman I’m not sure about that I think Cirice is really just a nod to the movie Carrie
Tobias you are adored by millions of people with or without the mask. Everyone wears a mask and it is painted by our own interpretations of ourself. A self image we are so strong to believe that we miss when people DO appreciate, compliment and empower us, then we focus on the negative judgements to strengthen our belief of ourself. We are judged by so many already, we shouldn't judge ourselves, it's the only liberation. Every person will find people who do or don't like them, when we find the one's who say we are awesome, they see beyond on the mask, and they are the one's who are right. Let them paint our masks for us and wear it proud, throw out the gross paint that is given to you, because they are only handing you what they painted themselves with. You are awesome, we are awesome!
Huh. It's a mystery to me how this man doesn't know how attractive he is. No, his features aren't perfect, but that's what gives his face character and makes it interesting. I don't see a darn thing wrong with his body, either. But if this insecurity about his appearance is what lets us savor the contrast between his outrageous on-stage persona and and the brilliant sweetheart of a man beneath that persona, well then I guess it's a blessing for us as fans.
A Very underrated Band. They keep improving and getting better and better.
Keep creating what you create, Brother Tobias. People respect and love what you do. These interviews have started me respecting your humanity. Keep up the good work, and may you enjoy nonstop success but remain as human, real, and down to Earth as you are
He's such a beautiful human being and I love this interview, it's very raw and organic. 🖤
This guy is a creative genius. Really inspiring !
Thank you so much for this excellent interview. I've been dying to get more info on the music videos.
Annoyed Platypus Thank you for watching! So happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🤘
I'm sorry, Tobias. Did you say something? I was too pre-occupied with my fantasies, prompted by your countenance and voice. I'll play it back after my cold shower. Nema.
[Seriously, this was beyond awesome. Thx AP. Bout time someone gave him the mike, and let him run with it. More, please.]
PhelinePhrenzy So glad you enjoyed it!! Did you have an opportunity to see our other video with him? It’s our On The Spot Segment. He talks a lot about movies and it’s awesome!! We also did an interview with him during the Metallica tour about the rise of Ghost. That’s a written piece that ran on our site. Here’s a link! 👇👇👇👇

@@altpress Actually I did catch the 10/30/19 interview & saved. Just read other article for 1st time. TY, awesome. So now I'm a subscriber also! Tadaaa!
PhelinePhrenzy Can’t tell you how much we appreciate you subscribing!! Hopefully there’s more artists you love on our channel. We’re very grateful for the support! 🤘🤘🤘
@@altpress🤘👻😈
Great interview but the background music is trash and distracting.
Boggles my mind that he doesn't see himself the way us fans see him. He's a god.
Me putting on my makeup just minding my own business and listening to what he has to say:
Tobias: “- i regret to say my cool idea to life eternal probably wont see the light of day”
Me: NO!
Ill be in the corner crying now
Aw man... I really want to see that Elizabeth video now.
As a musician of a different genre, I love looking up to this dude and seeing his crooked teeth. I have crooked teeth as well and it gives me a glimmer of hope. Tobias is awesome.
It's hard to believe he was in a death metal band lol. His voice is so calming
I mean nergal has a calming voice
I love this interview. Tobias speaking on his unwillingness to be on stage, recorded or generally to be seen within the public's eye sings to my heartcore.
There's so much mystery, intrigue and fun in the Ghost Lore. Wanting to create art and perform, but also craving that clandestine connectivity, that anonymity, those smoke and mirrors type of movements and moments--the way Tobias thinks is so similar to my own labyrinthine mind, I can't help but feel a cathartic release every time I watch an interview with him in it.
I hope he gets the monetary autonomy that makes it possible for the explicit “Body and Blood” video. I need it in my life.
Love Ghost!! One of my favorite bands. I try to watch any interview videos by him, and a lot of times he complains about not having enough money for the stage show he wants, or music videos, or live DVD. I don't get it cuz Ghost tours very big venues relentlessly, and their albums sell very well, their merch sells very well also, Tobias gets most of the publishing, so how come no money. Bands that sell less, play small venues, tour less and have less fans are able to make excellent videos and live dvds. Look at Behemoth, their videos are top notch, and they come out with live DVDs. Abbaths harvest pyre video was great! Avatar just filmed a musical with a video for every song on the album. So I don't get it with the money excuse, but I will agree that he probably doesn't have a lot of free time! Favorite video by Ghost is Kiss the Go Goat. Nice interview by the way.
Touring big venues surely brings a huge influx of money, but you have to keep in mind that the logistics behind a huge and elaborate show like Ghost puts on also eats up a lot of that money again. I think they are big enough by now so that the touring basically pays for itself, but I doubt there is much profit. And while their albums do sell well, income from a particular album will go down as time passes on since there will be a point at which most people who want it will have gotten it.
They do play larger venues, but the cost of touring adds up quickly. They're a larger sized band and they have crew for behind the scenes stuff. The more people you have the more you have and the more props you have to transport the higher the cost. He mentioned in another interview that they had 25 people use 2 tour buses and 3 trucks to get around
@@PikovajaDama I've seen loads of big artists saying albums make just a tiny fraction of their money unless you can be a self sufficient, self publishing artist and keep the rights to your music... When a band releases an album or a dvd these days, chances are the whole thing will be on youtube within a day or two. Fans should report it en mass when they see it.
@@PikovajaDama Not quite true. New people who have just found Ghost will always want their albums,and the merchandise that they sell. It will keep rolling long throughout the years.
Love these interviews with Tobias!!!! Great vid! 🤘🤘🤘
George Raymond Thanks so much!! It was one of the best times in 2019
0:35 im listening to this in the background while sculpting a bust of copia!! :))
Favourite vid’s of Ghost has to be Square Hammer for sure! The whole cinema premiere of tobias and the ghouls is something amazing! *P.S AP PLEEASEE SEND ME TO THE APMAS!!
He's alluded to there is much more in that video that most people have noticed as hints to the future.
Yes!!! YEAH!!!! I knew it!!! If Tobias really wanted to create music videos for Elizabeth and Body and Blood, he is still feeling the link to his older creations!!! 😍🥰😘❤🥳❤️🔥🎉🎊
Please don't forget about good old times that remember you of your mom or your brother, this is work made deep from the heart, I think❣️❣️❣️
And please let the old Papas breathe in some soul again. We saw it it with Papa Nihil, it's possible, if you only really want it! 💐🌹
WE CRAVE LIFE ETERNAL
The guys brilliant! Speaks multiple languages and speaks English better than me with a better vocabulary.
im so sad that the elizabeth music video never happened. thats my fav song
What about the scrapped Zenith music video?
Fake news
Everybody appreciate that he is wearing a Dead Moon shirt right now.
Hail Tobias! Hail Ghost! Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤
Dude does not have to worry about how "hung" he is...we have seen Copia in those damned white pants and swooned...he's good..
Being hung its always everything if you cant work it right 🤷♀️😂😂
@Cardinal Copia's Love Slave what I meant was he to me shouldn't care about being hung. That doesn't equal good. Lol but yes things clearly work well 😂😂
Oh honey we don't all need John Holmes. Trust me you are just fine just the way you are. Without the mask.
Awww shit, I would love to see music videos for Elizabeth and Body and Blood. Those two are among my favorites.
Tobias is a genius
every word he chose was so excellent. as a guy who responsible for Ghost, he did it really well I guest. and I love them all. I love Per, Randy, Cos, Hayden, Jutty, Mad, Olivia, Laura, and Ghost's team.
Tobias, Ghost is a blast because you are all masked. But if the masks came off, you’d still be a phenomenal band. Cheers! 👻😈🤘
Yeah,but I would be soo lost without Papa.
I love the "Rats" video! It kind of embodies the 80s/90s vibe and the choreography/dancing is excellent. His discussion makes me wish I had unlimited money so he/Ghost could make videos without interference.
Tobias you freakin rock man you and your music has inspired me in life and I see you as a total rockstar and inspiration you have my loyalty
I will now spend the rest of my life mourning the losses of the Body and Blood video and the Life Eternal video. I love both of those songs.
Wohaaa it's to hard to choose only one video.... I'm in love in Cirice, to cute, little guy acting like Noone before, he is just amazing! Square hammer was the so good, an idea was really funny. And He Is... I think this is my number one... I'm on love in this video, it's something what you will never see by someone else...
Tobias you don't must to be like Freddie, please be yourself, this ist the best way to keep our love!
We love you, nameless ghouls and the ghost!
You kicks better than Bruce Lee!
Id love to see those videos in a story board format and timed with the audio. It would be a vision seen at least on paper.
his smile warms my heart
Tobías ! If you are reading this , plz not try to be another persone , you are yourself and I love your music and pojects , you're my inspiration and my hero basically!
I want a Darkness At The Heart Of My Love video!
Tão fofo. Espero que ele realmente consiga produzir clipes pra Elizabeth e Body and Blood.
Seen Ghost on 9/12/23. My first show, I was blown away.
2:32
Me too!
Nice interview and prominent person, but can you switch off this messy music on the background. It’s sooo annoying! It’s not a UFC mashup.
I can hear him speaking from here to eternity.
Never rest your self esteem on the opinions of others. I think Tobias is a great influence. He is such a visionary and I love it.
Love these types of interviews but seriously please don't with the background music.
I’m completely in love with the Ghost project I enjoy every damn song. I wish that I were rich because I would happily fund their videos.
id be down for a ghost music movie like old bands did back in the day. kinda like the old pink floyd movies.
I would die to see a zenith official video one day directed by Darren aranosfsky
My favorite Ghost video? I love He Is, and Kiss The Go Goat! Long live Tobias and Ghost!!!🤘🤘🎸☠
Dude, you are Tobias Fucking Forge. The Cardinal should be wearing a costume of you, not the other way around. 🤘
I feel like at the end of the day Tobias just wanted to do Drag but in a manly way 😂
😂 This is gold, love it
renjamin renoir III, esq 🤘🤘Thank you!!
Honestly, it took me a couple of listens to "get" the last Ghost album.
Funny, I loved it from the first listening.
Same. I was blown away first time through, but I had to listen a few times to really get the full effect.
Tobias Is A Brilliant Artist
Va inte så hård mot dig själv. Du är så jäkla bra! Tro på dig själv för fan 💪💪
Ja, men självkänsla är lättare sagt än gjort, du vet 🙃😎
Det vet jag.. Kämpar hårt med det själv, tro mig. Absolut inte lätt .
Men man måste kunna säga upplyftande ord till varandra.
Så va inte för snabb och döm .. 👍
Incroyable comme Bruce Lee inspire aussi les chanteurs !! Tobias tu déchires mec , change rien !!
A music video for Elizabeth???? My favourite Ghost song, gah! I'd sell my soul to see that.
I wish he’d wAtch the fan made life eternal music video it’s perfect
I think that video didnt fit the song. I wish Tobia's Life Eternal concept can see the light.
a voz do tobias poderia facilmente se tornar meu asmr favorito para me fazer dormir tranquilamente todas as noites 😂❤
His Band Is Awesome
A lot of his ideas could potentially come to fruition if they were animated; you can do so much more with good animators than practical and cgi effects, anyway. There's so much to explore with Ghost that keeping it confined to live-action is a disservice to itself, imo. 🤷🏻♀️
Ghost is one of those ideas that is going to have a life that far exceeds even its own creator; decades from now people will still be making their own ghost content and creating other things that are just as amazing because they existed in the first place. I fucking love this band.
Well. Folks....he is not the one.
But he WILL get you there🔥🔥
That's such a shame because Elizabeth and Body and Blood are two of my favourite Ghost songs.
i need the body and blood mv so bad... im asking papa about it when i meet him next month fuck it LMAO
The background music is too loud, other than that, great interview :)
pay this man his money
do your thing Tobias, we got your back
Hello, please tell me what kind of music is playing in the background 1:56? Thanks
and then its like... *duck noises*
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE TOBIAS
I LOVE GHOST ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great interview, horrible backing track! Smh
Absolutely love this guy. I love how ocd he is in everything he produces.
