The singer has said that the rats are what society is turning into. With the internet, bullying is at an all time high, and bullies are in your face non stop. He calls it the primal rush to judgment. And yes they sound the same live
Yup
Also that it’s an allegory to religion too!
Well, musically, they are just as good live. I think Tobias has some understandable issues with his prosthetics when singing live.
I have heard that The song is about his formal band mates and the lawsuit. And that they are Rats. But it can be both.
@@wemakevideos2495 he said in an interview how social media takes things and runs with it, like the lawsuits, they took it and ran.
His masks has gotten better over the years. Now you can barely tell it's a mask. Their live shows are very entertaining, Tobias is a great showman.
So many great tunes. *Cirice* is iconic. If you choose the evil *Year Zero,* choose a live performance (my favourite is from Hellfest 2016). Also, *Square Hammer,* *Call Me Little Sunshine* (the official video is great, but a shortened single version). Also, the beautiful *He Is,* the heavy *Mummy Dust,* the fabulous show opener *Kaisarion.*
These recommendations are perfect. Great lineup for an introduction to the band. I just hope the guys see this.
Circe 100% should be next 🤘
nerd
I mean you can do the music video for Year Zero, just don't show it on the screen lol
You HAVE to experience Ghost live if you haven't. They are seriously the most incredible. High energy, dancing, costume changes, EVERYTHING. They call it the Ritual. And it's worth every single penny. I go every time they come to town.
Prequelle (the album) is a theme album based on the black plague. So Rats is obviously about the rats that spread the disease. But it's also a reflection of modern society where bullying has moved from the workplace or schoolyard to internet and social media. That's why he sings they still coming after you since you can't get away from the power of social media and modern phones. They can get into your home and life 24 hours a day in just a few clicks on the computer or phone.
After three reactions it's also time to welcome the both of you to our family. You know if you have Ghost you have everything ❤️
Might I suggest their song Mummy Dust if you want a little bit of their rougher side. Cirice if you want the Grammy winner. Year Zero if you want their evil side (tongue in cheek, of course). Variety of hard rock. And if you want to see live...the Mary on a Cross live in Tampa is pretty accurate. One of the best shows I've ever seen (only band I've seen four times).
I love seeing what chaotic beer chalice Eric chooses each video just as much as I love the reactions. 😂
Same 🤣
That ending riff is so so good, makes me excited whenever the song comes on shuffle.
Tobias had a professional dancer do the dance sequences in this video. I saw Ghost live in August and the concert was amazing, they sounded great.
This is but one of the many brilliant things about the mask-even over face paint. Papa (or Cardinal) can be anyone, so he can do just about anything. Plus, it allows Tobias to be in two places at once, so Ghost can do more. It’s a stroke of genius.
I recommend spillways, square hammer, and little sunshine I think yall would like those as well 🖤
I second this
I have seen them 5 times in concert. He sounds great. The mask doesn't affect his sound at all.
You should try Spillways next.
Oh My Gawwd, This Is Fantastic!! 🥰😎 Going on Mom's Playlist Today!
"belief's contagious, spreading disease," this is a common theme with ghost, the idea of society using religion as a weapon.
Love to see you guys reacting to ghost. I think you'd enjoy "Cirice" (a song so good I named my dog after it 😆)
Dance Macabre is another great one
Most of the dancing was a dancer and not Tobias. Do "Faith", it's also heavy and a banger! The live version is cool
I saw Ghost with my dad in concert about a year ago, and they sang this song. The singer sounds extremely clear through the mask and yes he does boogie hard!
every time you guys upload a new video its the first one to show up on my home page
TH-cam is *finally* learning what I actually want to see😂
Dude same here 😂
Saw them live last year one of best shows I’ve seen! they got jams they’re older stuff is something you guys would love
I'm pretty sure he also was all the Ghouls and was playing all the instruments in this video too. Such an insanely talented guy.
I saw them in June and fucking hell, what a show. He sounds fantastic live too! If you both get a chance to see them live then do it for sure
My buddy told me that Ghost is like Scooby Doo metal. I will never get that comparison out of my head now 😂.
Funfact.. Ghost has a massive lore that surround the band. Among all the lore details, stories and explanations is the alleged story of Ghosts first gig. This was in the US, at The Whiskey A Go-Go bar on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Ghost was an up and coming band, with a young Papa Emeritus Nihil on lead vocal. They were supporting Teri Reid and Spooky Tooth, and they performed their 2 new songs from their first single titled "7 inches of satanic panic", namely "Kiss The Go Goat" and "Mary On A Cross".
Now.. the Scooby Doo Metal label was used by the naysayers and "true" metal fans of Ghosts first albums that just thought Square Hammer and the way Ghost was taking their sound on the Meliora album was rubbish.. As a little kick on the shin back to these people... When Tobias released "Kiss the Go-Goat" and "Mary On A Cross", he told the story about the alleged gig at the Whiskey A Go-Go bar. He said that the band debuted live on the 13th of September, 1969. Tell your buddy, that this is not a random date that Tobias just chose for this story. Can you guess what else happened on that date?
A brand new show aired on TV... The very first episode of Scooby Doo aired that day 😆
I love Ghost to he honest. They are fun for me! Thanks for doing this one!
Guys, GUYS: Ghost just released a new compilation called "13 Commandments". You might have heard a bunch of those songs but they used the chance to release one of their best songs that was originally an obscure B-side, the song is called Zenith and I highly suggest you react to it. You will not be disappointed.
The way I screamed when I saw Zenith on there finally 😩😭😭❤❤❤❤
Gotta do cirice, one of my favorite songs of all time, it’s so addicting and much heavier than what you’ve heard so far
The t-shirts alone warrant a subscription! I'm a Ghost reaction video junkie, and you guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Keep the entertaining Ghost content coming!
I don't think there was any formal explanation as to what the rats symbolize. It can be viewed as Social media and the issues that have come from it. Many think that it is a jab at the ex members that brought the lawsuit towards him, and exposed the identity behind the band.
I'd recommend Faith by them, a bit heavier and will get the headbanging going. Year Zero is a great one for a funky any church tune, I'd also recommend Elizabeth or Ritual off their first album, both that are catchy as hell.
there is a video from Ghost of Mary on a Cross, Live in Tampa Florida. I know you guys have covered that song already but it is a live show. So if you wanna know what they are like in concert maybe check it out
"for he rode in on a pale horse, and death followed him." - bible quote
definitely enjoying you guys getting into Ghost, no two songs really sound too samey and that is something i enjoy about the band. for a taste of something heavier, here is some suggestions;
Year Zero
Mummy Dust
Faith
Call Me Little Sunshine
cheers
Cirice and Square Hammer are the two songs that got me into Ghost. I’d love to see you check those out! (But any Ghost song would be great… so much variety and fun)
RATS was the first song I got into
Amazing live, sounds exactly the same and their energy is amazing too, GHOST is also unique
TOBIAS just has incredible showmanship and he’s a very good entertainer, he does not get enough credit for his talents and he also has a great voice, again amazing live
Ghost are amazing. Saw them live about a year ago in Avicii Arena in Stockholm. They come from Linköping, The largest city here in the Östergötland region 🤘🏻
Tobias' voice does sound a little different in live shows but not hugely, and the mask has gotten a lot better over the years and he's an amazing front man. If you're feeling the heavier stuff i'll echo another commenter about Mummy dust, From the Pinnacle to the Pit and also Con Clavi Con Dio from their early work.
I saw they live show and was amazing! Please check out Ritual, Spillways or Call me little Sunshine!
For the lore, this is Cardinal copia, the next in line for being Papa Emeritus IV (and the love child of Papa Nihil and Sister Imperiter 🤫) He is getting into the role here, and would then on stage, when papa nihil ‘died’ mid performance, Copia dawned the robes and makeup to how he looks as of now and ascended as papa 4
What is with eric having a different outlandishly large cup every reaction lmao
I love the last 15 seconds of this song. Wish they would expand more on that sound.
Yesssss, MOAR Papa!!!🤌🏼🔥🤘🏼
Love me some ABBA Black Sabbath! The Prequelle era has so many great songs! If you want a hell of a show, they are a must see live. He sings perfectly live with the mask. Great band to deep dive into!
Abba-saba-osborn
Black ABBAth
The songs Rats is about something coming and destroying everything quicker than anything you can do to stop it, using Rats and the plague in this as a sort of simile. That is not him dancing it’s a double. All Ghost concerts are just incredible. Ghost is awesome keep going Cirice or Dance Macabre next please or even something from the latest album for a darker sound Call me little Sunshine ❤❤❤
. . . It sounds like a Movie Theme! 🤗 Geeeeze, I keep commenting 😂😂
Oooooh!! I'm so excited for this! 😎🥰
I love these reaction videos from you guys, I've met a lot of awesome bands and music because of your work. I'm all in for your reactions and especially your "and remember guys..." outro. I'd love to see what you guys think of Ghost's Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, the classic Year Zero, or Square Hammer! (And Eric is right, LOL)
You need to see these guys live!!!! Fuckin incredible
The song "Faith" right after this one on the album bangs as well , would love to see you react to it
Oh man, I thought this was Cancer Bats - RATS at first. 😂 I was taken aback.
I will echo what everyone else has said about the rats being society and an unstoppable force coming to destroy society, but there's another layer where the album this comes from is about the Black Plague used as a simile to our current times. Dance Macabre should be next! It's my favorite of theirs and possibly their catchiest tune.
He is amazing in concert and sometimes he even sounds better live
The shirts are killing me 😂 you guys rock 🤘
I'm glad you both decided to go down this rabbit hole. I hope you continue to catch-up on Ghost. There's so many good ones still yet. Call me little sunshine, spillways, darkness of my heart, square hammer, Circe. If you would love to hear more grittiness from him, i suggest crucify or he goes a little harder with year zero. Their short films are hilarious, i would love to see you react to them.
On the CD, Rats into Faith is such a great 1 - 2 punch!!
Dance Macabre has to be next. Can't wait for that reaction
The energy in their music is like a shot of pure adrenaline. Btw would love to see you react on Dark by October Ends
First Ghost song I heard. Kept hearing it on the radio and it got stuck in my head.
Absolutely love the choreography in this video!
Thank you for doing more Ghost! Tobias is a genius & a great showman live. Please continue the Ghost train with Faith, Twenties, Square Hammer & Cirice.
So many echoes of Dio and Ace Frehley in the guitars on this track! Awesome!
Words of wisdom right there.
I'm gonna live forever.
Do Mary on a cross Live in Tampa. It's a must !! I'm here for it
They really give me Blue Oyster Cult vibes, which is great because im a fan.
I love their music, even though they are a little different. Also, wanted to let you guts know, Beartoith has released all kinds of new music and videos.
This is still my favorite Ghost song. I've seen them live so many times. Live shows are pretty entertaining. He does a lot of talking to the crowd.
Their live shows really are some of the best spectacles you can see today! Not quite Rammstein level but close !!
I’ve seen them 3 times and they were all breathtaking
A) they are really good in concert!
b) my favorite Ghost song is I'm a Marionette
Rats is one of my favorites by Ghost. Love that it has that 80s metal sound with the guitar too.
You guys should react to Cirice. It's the hit that put them on the map.
LOOOVE IT! thanks for reacting!
Definitely recommend Faith, Mummy dust, Zenith,Twenties and Respite of the Spitalfields if you're more into the heavier sounding songs, great reaction tho 👏
5:49 Eric, to answer your question. YES He does!
The imagery of cardinal dancing is mimicking an old painting of the plaque killing everyone while satan dances in the streets
Love you guys!!! You really need to react Respite on the Spitalfields, Phantom of the Opera, Cirice, and well...there are so many!! Keep the awesome videos coming!
You guys need to react to "Call me little Sunshine". This was the first one i heard that had me hooked. His voice is awesome.
As promised on Patreon, I watched it right now 😁✌️ And of course, I loved the reaction very much :) next time I will search better, I promise 😂
This song has haunted me for years. Every time I read or hear the word "rats" I hear "Ah whoah!!" in my head. -_-
I’ve seen them 3 times now, from smaller shows to arena. It’s an event…Rosemary’s Baby On Broadway.
The Cardinal Copia character was hinted at being associated with death (listen to Witch Image), so the pale horse and it's rider was death.
DO CALL ME LITTLE SUNSHINE!!! GHOST KILLS IT ON THIS ONE !!!
That's Copia (Now Papa Emeritus IV) in his prime!
Clicked on the video so fast 😅❤❤. Fully behind Ghost deepdive
Really happy you guys finally reviewed Rats. It’s one of my favorites songs of theirs with an amazing message about society. Dance Macabre is another similar to this that you would love. The best live video to watch would be Mary on a Cross. That one has good production and really shows how amazing they are live. Cannot wait for the next review, thank you so much guys❤
These dudes really are something else love the singers style aslo still keeping the 80s rock sound
The shirts are fantastic🤘🏻
Best concert ever. Expensive but soooo worth it.
Many also associated this song with the "Black Death" that ravaged Europe
The album this was on, Prequelle, had the concept of the Black Death, hence rats.
Vessel and Regional At Best are two TØP albums you guys need to react to!!! It is the most eye opening but also depressing quality music I've ever heard!!
Great reaction guys!! I love this song...the vibe & groove is SO infectious (just like Rats!!) Ghost is a pure resurrection of glam metal - 70's/80's influences abound, with a slightly 'darker' and more macabre imagery, visuals and lyricism!
Tobias sings just fine with the prosthetic mask on live! This song was bonkers in concert.
Further considerations: Square Hammer (absolute must - esp. if you liked Rats), Cirice, Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Ritual, Year Zero, Dance Macabre, Witch Image & Miasma (from same album as Rats - the latter is an instrumental - and epically 80's!)
Such a fun group! Cheers!
We need to talk about the lore though, it’s the best part, and it makes the albums make more sense. The theatrics and lore really make them more alluring
Cardinal Copia was my fave.
you get to see a lot more of those awesome dancers in "Dance Macabre"🥰🥰🥰🥰
Everyone has listed songs for you guys to react to, but here's my list:
Witch Image
From the Pinnacle to the Pit
Zenith
Absolution
Respite on the Spital Fields
Deus in Absentia
Ghuleh / Zombie Queen
And yes, these guys are amazing live. Seen them twice, can't wait to see them again.
I’ve seen them live twice this year and they are amazing live. You guys should check out square hammer next
🔥🔥💯😎✌️
If you want heavy Ghost song, check out “Zenith”. It’s an old song but they realised it officially just now.
I managed to see Ghost live juuuust before the quarantines happened, and they were legitimately one of the most amazing live shows I've ever seen. If you have the chance, don't hesitate. For next steps, I'd very strongly recommend Square Hammer (official), He Is (official - it's hilarious) and Year Zero.
Dance Macabre is my favourite Ghost song, definitely recommend.
They are such a fun band to see live.
Hi Guy’s! ❤️🫶🏻❤️
Great Reaction as always! Keep up the Great work! ❤️🫶🏻❤️
Tobias and his evolution of the various Papis mask is great. My personal favorite songs is are Little Sunshine and Dance Macabre. Love to see you react to them.
Guys just go on a Ghost journey. There are no bad tracks. You’re just going to love some more than others.🤘🏼😈
The back story on rats is based on the legal issues he's been dealing with the former/original band members. It's an absolute burn song aimed at them. The former members are considered the rats in the lyrics.
One song you guys should react to would be Miasma, it really shows how good the writing is and how talented the performers of the band are!
Keep going! you'll be pleased
