Your Tobias impression is SPOT ON. And the composition is perfect too. Always wondered what this song would sound like by Ghost, and this is it. I'd also love to hear If Ghost wrote Bloody Mary
@@skepticalbadger it depends who owns the rights to the song. if the artist owns those rights then yes, they absolutely have to give permission to use the song as a cover. if the artist doesn't own the rights, then who ever does (maybe the record label) would have to give permission.
Saw the title and went "Yeah that makes sense". Clicked. It did indeed make sense and I wasn't disappointed. 10/10. I feel like in some alternate timeline, Ghost actually did cover this.
This is absolutely amazing. I have been listening to this on repeat several times. I do kind of now wish Ghost would actually do this cover (as others have stated).
I would love to see you do a collab with Otu! You both are two genuinely amazing musical artists that create some insane "What Ifs", besides we would get some cool "across the world" energy with an Aussie and a Finn!
Man oh man! I’m so impressed with Steve’s take on Ghost covering Like a Prayer! I’m not gonna be able to get that version out of my head for at least a month, but it was worth it! Keep up the great work, Steve! 😮🤩👍
Yeah, so I’ve been asking for Ghost to do this cover for YEARS. This is almost exactly how I heard it my head. It’s pretty perfect. Only nitpick if I had one, I think they would lean way hard on the church organ. But yeah, thank you! Sounds just like I imagined! And you did dope work with those vocal effects!!!
I was a fan of Madonna since my childhood in 80s. Still love at 45 years old. I did not know til today I needed a hard rock version of Like a Prayer. I was so wrong 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is awesome. I thought about changing the lyrics a little. So it's from the point of view of a demon. When she says his name, its like a little prayer. She is down on her knees and he will take her there, etc etc...
Madonna and Ghost are literally two of my all time favs (peep my username 🤣🤣) you literally made my dream come true cuz I’ve been daydreaming about ghost covering a Madonna song. I ADORE YOUUUU!!!!
I wish ghost would cover this song and Personal Jesus. They'd both be perfect covers for them given the covers they've done in the past. It'd be beautiful but seriously, this is a fantastic Toebean Forklift impression.
This track will be out on streaming soon - I’m just piecing together a full album Of covers that is nearly done! 🏄♂️
Love this one! And it would be great to have the SOAD covers on Spotify. I've been listening to those ones a lot 😊
If Linkin Park wrote Welcome To The Black Parade. Every era of LP merged.
Just found your page, this one is spot on for ghost! What would it sound like for Chris Cornell or Chester to sing Adele Easy on me? 🤔
It’s gonna be on spotify? 🥹🙏🏻
I'm so excited!!!
What if Madonna sang “Mary on a cross” by Ghost
@@LANsolo12 ok I need some Madonna synths now…. 😎
@@stevewelsh__if you do that I’m literally gonna collapse in excitement!
Ohhh yeees pleaseeee 🙂🙂🙂🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Please do this ^
OMG YES lol
This could perfectly pass as an original Ghost song, the lyrics, the voice, the 80's instrumentation and feeling, even the solo, all is perfectly done
its also the type of thing they would cover if they could add the right video. Though the original video is very good.
@@Darkest_knight46 thanks so much, I put loads of effort into every section to make it feel as genuine as possible
@@stevewelsh__ Seriously, you managed to sound close enough to Tobias Forge that one could genuinely mistake this for him singing.
@@stevewelsh__ It's clear how much respect and appreciation you have for Ghost's unique style. You replicated it fantastically
It’s wild how much the vocals sound like Tobias
Now I wish ghost would actually do this song.
Same
Same
Madonna rarely licenses or gives permission for ANYONE to use the song.
I don't think Tobias could sway her for it but boooooooy I wish too.
@@nigel_saxon I would cry
@@mellowyello1478 She doesn't have to. Weird Al only asks the original artist as a courtesy.
This could 100% pass as Ghost covering Madonna. Every single aspect of it. Beautifully done!
Your Tobias impression is SPOT ON. And the composition is perfect too. Always wondered what this song would sound like by Ghost, and this is it. I'd also love to hear If Ghost wrote Bloody Mary
I'm genuinely surprised they haven't actually done this, it seems like such a no brainer considering their other covers.
Apparently Madonna won't allow it.🙁
@@robertwelch3240 Nonsense. She has no say over covers, nor does any artist.
@@skepticalbadger it depends who owns the rights to the song. if the artist owns those rights then yes, they absolutely have to give permission to use the song as a cover. if the artist doesn't own the rights, then who ever does (maybe the record label) would have to give permission.
Ryan Reynolds had to beg her just to use it in Deadpool and Wolverine.
The lyrics become 100% ironic when sung by Ghost 😂 but have the same sexual connotations
Saw the title and went "Yeah that makes sense". Clicked. It did indeed make sense and I wasn't disappointed. 10/10. I feel like in some alternate timeline, Ghost actually did cover this.
I could this totally being a Papa III cover song. Fits his style perfectly.
Papa IV
Great job man. If that title wasn't already taken, it sounds like it'd be the name of a Ghost tune!
This absolutely SLAPS - I hope Tobias & Co are paying attention. This would get entire stadiums swaying! Beautifully done, man!
“We Built This City” by Bleach-era Nirvana. I’d bet good money that Steve could turn this song into gold.
Again!
The voice is just about spot on. It’s just a hair too consistently high, but the foundational sorta nasally sound is perfect.
I was so worried clicking on this that it would be AI and so glad that it isn't.
This is honestly one of my favorite of your covers
I fucking love this, I can definitely hear them doing something with this. Great as always, man, keep it up
Like A Slayer
❤👏
like a Slayer but Sloweeeer! :D
@@kristynaholanova1319 I see what you did there and I'm here for it
@@matthewmayotte3540 lay all your wishes and sins at the foot of the Gaudy Cross, my friend :D
If Coheed and Cambria wrote A Space Oddity
I neeeeeed it
Absolutely
Awesome! I think Ghost would've teased us a bit more before starting the chorus but it's THE best impression of Ghost I've seen so far.
I need Ghost to do this cover for real. It could fit....honestly a cover album would hit hard
They do have a cover album. It's called Popestar
If Soundgarden wrote "Blurred Lines."
I can imagine that would be great.
How about "Word Crimes" instead? That would also make it educational.
It fitts so well! Awesome, dude!! 🖤🤘
Nailed the way he pronounces "your" and I really respect and like that
If Korn wrote hit me baby one more time.
Children of Bodom did a really good cover of "Oops! I Did It Again"
Dude, this definitely made my day. Well done 🤘👏🤘
What a scary good impression of Papa!
Wow, I've never heard anybody ever get this close to Tobias unique vocals. If he ever needs a backup papa youd be a epic choice lol
Now we need "what If Madonna wrote Mary on a Cross"
😂
Alright, time to turn the tables. Give me “Rats” or “Watcher in the Skies” performed by New Kids on the Block.
The fact that this has less than 100,000 views under a month bothers me. THIS. IS. AMAZING.
0:42 I hate myself for getting the way I get when listening to ghost on this part damn this is good
After about 20 seconds, the irony and novelty wear off and are replaced with awe and admiration at a truly awesome cover. Well done.
The vocals, the harmony, the guitar solo... I wouldn't have even questioned if this was actually done by Ghost!
This impression is so accurate I don't need a Ghost cover anymore. Great job, Steve!
I'm pretty sure Ghost is only doing a world tour because Tobias saw this and wants an excuse to play it. While adding in inuendos before and after.
This was so good!!!
You genuinely sounded like Tobias at certain points, it was so spot on😊
This is absolutely amazing. I have been listening to this on repeat several times. I do kind of now wish Ghost would actually do this cover (as others have stated).
I clicked the link expecting AI slop.
Instead you did something awesome. Sincere kudos to you.
If Ghost wrote Dancing Queen, but it’s Zombie Queen lol
Dancing Queen
Dancing Queen
Young and sweet
Ghuleh Ghuleh
Also someone did a mashup of GIMME GIMME GIMME and Rats
If Alice in Chains wrote "Faith" by Ghost
I would love to see you do a collab with Otu! You both are two genuinely amazing musical artists that create some insane "What Ifs", besides we would get some cool "across the world" energy with an Aussie and a Finn!
@@Noob2Ever cheers! We did ‘if ACDC wrote black Betty’ together here! th-cam.com/video/OCPyWw5Pe24/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qz4Wkwz2IdONNvG2
I'd been saying they needed to cover this for years! Good on you! Amazing work.
I want this for real so bad. Can you imagine seeing them cover it live
And this kinda shit is why I subscribed. Perfect song for their style and vibe 🙏
As a ghost fan, this is so accurate
This song is too perfect for Ghost...
And knowing that Tobias love make covers, this definitely can be possible, I cross my fingers for that 🤞
Genuinely HOOTED from the intro alone! IT WORKS SO WELL this is absurdly amazing! 🤯🔥
Oh yes! Please do more ghost ones! Love this, it works so well!
Big thanks for the chapters. I almost got lost
just doin my part 🙌
This feels official
Thanks for TH-cam reccomendations- Really cool
Brilliant. Really nailed the Ghost sound. Matbe just switch up the God and Heaven lyrics. 😜
Wow. Just wow. I'm literally speechless. It's beautiful.
LMAO THE DESCRIPTION
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
@@nikasands5567 you are very welcome
This song flows through my body like lightning every time
I was falling asleep after a busy day of work but this got my attention damn, this is amazing!
Ngl I really hope Ghost does another cover album. Their last one was so good.
This somehow ended up on my cover algorithms and I an unduly impressed. The guitarist has flawless technique
Man oh man! I’m so impressed with Steve’s take on Ghost covering Like a Prayer! I’m not gonna be able to get that version out of my head for at least a month, but it was worth it! Keep up the great work, Steve! 😮🤩👍
GODDAMN! This is absolutely perfect! You definitely nailed it!
This is amazing! The voice is spot on!
Yeah, so I’ve been asking for Ghost to do this cover for YEARS. This is almost exactly how I heard it my head. It’s pretty perfect. Only nitpick if I had one, I think they would lean way hard on the church organ. But yeah, thank you! Sounds just like I imagined! And you did dope work with those vocal effects!!!
Steve, Steve, you beautiful fucking human being ... this is fucking amazing. We are not worthy.
Absolute genius.
This is so, so good!!!
I wouldn't have been the slightest bit surprised if they actually covered this song actually. Right up their alley
Madonna won't allow. Apparently Ryan Renolds had to beg her to let him use it Deadpool vs Wolverine
Now I would pay money to see you perform this live - and pay again to see Tobias Forge's reaction to this masterpiece
They should absolutely do this cover omg
Playing this on loop. So good
Brilliant works so well. Big thumbs up from me
1:52 oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
That's me on the edge
Of glory
Ive been waiting for the full version of this one. It was worth the wait 🤘🏻
this. is. awesome.
Thank you Mr. Welsh
Damn this is amazing! It feels like a number of heavy metal covers of pop songs sound better than the original.
This was amazing.
Their voices sounds really similar 😳
please put this on Spotify! I could jam to this all day!
This is the best thing that happened to my ears in two years. Thank you so much, I am obsessed❤❤❤
Steve has done it again, well-done
So good 🤘
Genuinely really good work there.
I was a fan of Madonna since my childhood in 80s. Still love at 45 years old. I did not know til today I needed a hard rock version of Like a Prayer. I was so wrong 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
A mashup made specifically for me? Thank you!
spot on. great stuff!
I can't stop listening, this is so amazing!
I LOVE THIS WHAT as a diehard ghost fan this is amazing
this fits Ghost so much 😂
Fracking awesome!
This is awesome. I thought about changing the lyrics a little. So it's from the point of view of a demon. When she says his name, its like a little prayer. She is down on her knees and he will take her there, etc etc...
The guitar solo is perfect
Sounds so similar to Dogma’s cover. This further solidifies my need for Dogma and Ghost to collab. Lol. Great cover!
Please do more Ghost covers!! This is amazing 😍
I wish ghost would do more covers. Jesus He Knows Me and We Don't Need Another Hero were awesome on phantomime
oh man this might be my new favorite thing to play on repeat
Madonna and Ghost are literally two of my all time favs (peep my username 🤣🤣) you literally made my dream come true cuz I’ve been daydreaming about ghost covering a Madonna song. I ADORE YOUUUU!!!!
Yoooooo……… ❤️ I want to buy this version and play it all the time in perpetuity 😳
Spot on!
So good 🤘
I wish ghost would cover this song and Personal Jesus. They'd both be perfect covers for them given the covers they've done in the past. It'd be beautiful but seriously, this is a fantastic Toebean Forklift impression.
Wow! This is amazing!
Fantastic. Could have told me it was an official Ghost cover and I would have believed it.
It's actually great!
