What Does This Ghost Song Remind You Of?

- I don't usually do this, in fact I don't think I have ever reacted to a band or artist more than once but I'm sure it was inevitable at this point. Today, I'm listening to Ghost's new song "Spillways". As you know, I initially didn't think much of Ghost but the last song I reacted to made me change my mind. This song is completely different, so let's have a listen together. What do you think of it? Tell me in the comments.

Every time I hear the beginning of this song I just want to start singing "I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS"
No one's ever gonna get yiu down!
TO CATCH THRM IS MY REAL TEST....TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAAAAAAUUUUUSSSSEEEE
@@rockfan243I will travel across the land.... searching far and wide!!!
Even the last notes of the guitar solo goes "POKEMON!!!!" lol
I think people are finally starting to "get" Ghost. They're kind of campy, silly fun. I think people always expected them to be some super-serious metal band and saw them as failing to live up to that and they're just not. They're like a Hammer Horror version of Abba crossed with Bon Jovi. I suspect Justin gets it because if anyone understands campy rock fun, it's him.
Exactly. They’re fun, pretty obvious when you see them live, they’re not meant to be anything other than as described above
I always related them to the Hammer horror movies
They seem to pair naturally with The Darkness. Hence the feature, I suppose lol
But..but..but...they worship satan, right?!😈
I've always enjoyed the metal bands that embraced the campiness and theatrics, like Maiden and Mercyful Fate, I just find that there is commonly a manliness competition in metal and I find it boring
I feel like this song perfectly embodies when people call Ghost "Satanic ABBA". I'm all for it and this song is such a good one!
They've completely embraced it -- between their cover of I'm A Marionette, a brief musical salute to Mama Mia! in Hunter's Moon, and using the same piano from Money Money Money for the intro to Spillways, it's a badge of pride now. 😆
how would that make them different from the original ABBA
You wanna hear an occult Abba check out CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL (UK)...!!
I started calling them 'Abba Metal' since hunters moon came out 😆
Actually it reminds me of bon jovi
Ghost are essentially "Spooky ABBA"
i love them. Square Hammers chorus is glorious
Yeah I think similar rock abba 😂
Are you on the level?
One of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. Danse Macabre is another one that’s just spectacular.
Square Hammer almost has the same riff as Spillways if you listen out for it
Spillways gothic toto
Spillways is like a modern version of Toto's Hold The Line mixed with Bon Jovi's Runaway. And it's great!
You nailed it.
ABBA’s Money Money Money. It was recorded on the same piano in the same studio.
And Alice Cooper's Poison.
Amazing answer
Sung by Alice Cooper.
Ghost has always reminded me of a more modern-sounding Blue Oyster Cult 🤷♂️
Yes!
YES - Couldn't quite place their 'sound' - Maybe they should cover Don't Fear The Reaper, or Godzilla?!
@@theliesisire7485 probably . But I also think Tobias si saving it for the very end...
Ask yourself, ooh
Are you righteous?
I want them to cover dancing in the ruins
The Darkness should tour with Ghost. That would be a fun concert.
And call it Ghost and the Darkness (which is an awesome movie btw!)
Big Yes 💜💜💜
I'd buy a ticket in a heartbeat
But The Darkness would be opening band for Ghost.
Opeth's Freddie plays all the guitars on the record. Did a brilliant job., extremely talented player.
Fredrik* amazing guitarist btw
Cool I didn’t know that
It’s crazy because I feel like he was still held back hard. Tobias still wrote most of the guitar parts and controlled the sound. Frederik could easily rip far better solos than the ones played on the album it’s a shame Tobias didn’t let him
@@Hydra_Mannthat was the original plan but there are interviews out there where he talks about how he ended up tracking all the guitars because of how of a much more accomplished player he is, Freddie even did an interview discussion about all the different guitars he used in the process...
@@Childofbhaal Yeah I mean, Fredrik could've done something much better, but thinking about the style of the songs, you have to do something that works with it, and with the style of Ghost in general, i think they really pull it off
fifth studio album. to me, the best one.the most complete. respite in the spitalfields is superb
Respect, but Meliora is probably always going to be #1 to me
Yeah for me they just keep getting better. Prequelle was my favourite but the new one has now overtaken it.
That song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard. And powerful.
I'd say Meliora is more complete from a thematic and narrative point of view, but other than that I agree!
Respite in the spitlefeilds was the best track...prequlle was better overall..
At 42 I have never been obsessed with a band as much as I have Ghost, the music, the thing, live shows and lore, just amazing
I recently discovered them properly, and I feel you. They’re honestly such a blessing to this world.
Same here, makes me wonder if I am sane at all? My friends and family think I lost it but it just brings me so much joy and the sound is giving me ear orgasms.
@@mariki3 Don’t give two thoughts about what anyone else thinks. Do what you love, as long as you’re not hurting anyone.
47 and I'm l9vin it!
I'm 47 and I just discovered them last night on The Charasmatic Voice. I was instantly obsessed. Then I heard Danse Macabre. Holy hell. I am just beginning to barely scratch the surface on the mythology. I love how they kept it Kayfabe for so long.
Respite in the Spitalfields is a masterpiece. The perfect song. I hope in a crossover collaboration between Ghost and The Darkness. Papa + Justin what a hellish combo on-stage 🤘😈🤘
Or Ghost and The Darkness (isn't there a film with that title?) But yeah - I think there are enough similarities musically that it would be an awesome collab.
A masterpiece, a musical work.
I would love to see papa and Justin on the same stage!!
Love that song too, even the Whitesnake bit haha
@@BubbaGTi and the alice cooper bit
I went and saw them at the o2 in london during their tour and it was fucking phenomenal, the personality of Papa, all the ghouls, the visuals, it was all fantastic. At the end when they played enter sandman, dance macabre, kiss the go goat and square hammer literally everyone stood up and it was one giant dance party, i’ll never forget it.
Isnt it interesting how masked musicians have even more personality than "normal" musicians? did you ever see the first set of ghouls they had, omega had about ten times more personality than 90% of unmasked people on stage :D
I cannot wait to attend my first ritual next month. I’m obsessed with papa 😍
Spillways rules, and Griftwood may be the best song of 2022. Ghost's new stuff reminds me of Blue Oyster Cult.
I thought it was a perfect pop-metal song, honestly.
Me too.
The opening sounds almost identical to Bon Jovi's "Runaway".
"On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives..."
That intro is straight up Runaway by Bon Jovi.
Was looking for this comment! Sounded exactly like it. haha
That's it!
Spillways…Runaway… did Ghost hide a hint in plain sight?
There is nothing fresh about ghost
@@ryankibler7973 that's why they're called Ghost:
A soul that lived in the past, but failed to move on after it died XD
Ghost is something else. 🖤 I dig everything they've done and they are sublime live. I love the Ritual. 🤘🏻
At the age of 16, The Darkness compelled me to buy a guitar. 17 years later, (about 3 weeks ago), this channel convinced me to pick it up again. I’m utterly fascinated by how intuitively you play and pick up everything in an instant by ear. Your videos are incredibly motivational, thank you for inspiring me to get back into something that I have a new-found love and passion for. 🥰
P.s The absence of clothing is also appreciated 😜
Indeed! Justin is really interesting to listen to . His musical knowledge and skill is clear!
I really hadn’t noticed he was only wearing a towel 😉
Beautifully said
Nin rides again!
"Discombobulating". What a wonderful english word that I've never heard before! Love "Spillways" too!
Dude! I would love to see your take on "twenties" off the same album. Its such a radically different song, musically speaking, that i think youd have a lot of fun breaking it down.
Recently got into Ghost and I'm addicted!! So many good tracks with such good hooks.
When I first heard this song I immediately heard “Runaway” from Jovi 🤣🤣 Tobias is a monster songwriter for sure! Combining elements of Satanism, campy humor, theater, with metal and pop music…genius!!!
I think this should be Album of the Year! Commercial? Yes. Successful? Also Yes. It's pure 70s and 80s. Cashing in on that nostalgia.
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Agree with you
I only recently found Ghost from the buzz going around about their new album and I am hooked. It's the first time in years I've heard something new that I like.
Same. Crazy. I never thought I'd have that feeling again.
Actually the same piano used in Spillways as ABBA used in Money money money. Cool little Trivia.
Poison was one of the first songs that sprung to mind when i heard this, what i like about this band that really infuriates me i can hear so many different bands in thier songs that i spend more time thinking where have i had this or that from. Brilliant band
The most fun part about listening to Ghost is to find those 80s - 90s rock influences in their songs. Dance Macabre sounds like a Kiss song for instance.
I hear some Scorpions in that one too.
I love this! Thank you for covering them again and I hope you can react to Twenties by them next! That song comes out of left field and you don't even see it coming! Please?!
THANK YOU ! The chorus with the 4 magic chords repeated in different keys, when I first heard it, all I could think about was POISOOOON lmao
Cold As Ice!!! It’s not the first time Foreigner has sprung to mind upon hearing Ghost either.
Would love it if you’d do some of Ben Howard’s recent stuff. Maybe the tiny desk he did!
Yes!
The Darkness and Ghost on tour together would make my life complete! That would be an amazing parring!
Ghost is such a treat. They're so fun to see live too.
Lol, was hearing Poison in it too! And ABBA ofcourse. Hotdamn I'm so hooked on this song.
It is their 5th album and I would say one of the best, it is so well put together!!!!
There's a healthy dose of Alice Cooper's Poison in the pre-chorus and chorus. I commented that in response to @Kiripompone 's comment on the actual TH-cam/Vimeo video as soon as Ghost released it. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who so clearly hears it.
"Poison" was the song that first introduced me to Alice Cooper and has always been my favorite so that was the first song that popped into my head when I first heard this song as well.
I've been saying this since the song came out
Every time you was picking that A minor chord I was thinking of Dust in the Wind.
Yes! I didn't hear it until Justin broke it down.
Watcher In The Sky is my favourite song off the new album. The hook of the main riff is outstanding. Cracking song!!
I wish I could decompress songs like Justin can , he's so musically intelligent and it's infuriating
Him and Rick Beato .
I know, right? I play and putter on the guitar all my life, never taught or trained - clueless. And Justin’s real time gift finding chords, progressions, riffs, homages, etc. make me feel like a music idiot. I love it!
YES.And Rick Beato and Fil(Wings of Pegasus)These three have given me such a musical education
Ghost, The Darkness and Night Flite Orchestra = best three bands of the 21st century
That's a big shout. But a good one. I like it!! Looking forward to seeing NFO at Bloodstock next weekend!
You forgot EVERGREY from Sweden now there's some stellar talent!
I like how 3 of 4 bands there are swedish haha :D
Impera is a masterpiece, can only recommend it.
Abba is a big influence on Tobias since he’s Swedish. Kiss inspired the stage look and theatrics
My favorite thing about Ghost is if you just see them, you think you're getting Gorgoroth or Dark Throne, then you hear them and you're tapping your foot and smirking.
That's too funny, the Foreigner bit. My first thought was Bon Jovi - Runaway.
I’ve always thought of Ghost as Scooby-Doo chase music which is perfectly fine to me
Your playing around 5:00 reminds me of Heart
The first time I heard this song I really didn't like it. Then I listened to it again. And again. And again. And then I was singing it at work. And now I've watched the music video and listened to it approximately 3,000 times. That's what Ghost is to me.
Ahh me too ❤
I can't stop watching this channel. If you stop making videos, I'll be able to get on with my life.
Sorry.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain I'm a huge fan. This channel is brilliant and greatly appreciated. My young sons, 7 and 9 only know you as the beast from their favorite video- One Way Ticket To Hell and Back
Question: In that video, Is that band you throw the ice ball at supposed to be the band LIVE from the 90's? If so, thank you so much!
Adding to the comments on "Respite in the Spitafields", the stunning track is complete with a brilliant, atmospheric mid section that awesomely lifts the middle of Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" to excellent effect. "Spillways" meanwhile, the guitar lines and vocal delivery is very very like Blue Oyster Cult's "Dancing in the Ruins". And that is a very good thing.
Exactly! I thought I was the only one who heard Dancin' in the Ruins in Spillways.
@@lukemerlino Dancin' in the Ruins is a vastly underrated song! BoC are a vastly underrated band. Everyone knows the .."Reaper" but there is soooo much more than that. Anyone into Ghost should hear Dancin in the Ruins, along with something like "Nosferatu". Huge chills , atmosphere in that song that went into Ghost's earlier, darker songs. 👍👍
For me, it started with "i just died in your arms tonight" and moved to "that don't impress me much", before sliding into Alice Cooper's "Poison". Also, the A-minor theme is slightly "dust in the wind" -esque.
I really want Justin to do a full-acoustic cover of "Spillways".
Cold as ice, first thing I thought of when the song opened.
The guitar tone live is absolutely insane
Their Roky Erickson cover is great
I hadn’t noticed this song had some things in common with I Believe in a Thing Called Love. When the guitars start harmonizing in the solo, it brought me back.
Justin has every skill to play a solo acoustic show and straight slay!
Absolutely love Ghost, they are so much fun and incredible live! Hadn’t noticed the similarities with Poison until now, nice one!
Reminds me of Poison for sure and also Peace Of Mind by Boston. I love the way you break these songs down. This channel is my favorite.
The entering piano is a bit like "Money Money Money" by Abba ({place the piano here} then "...It's a rich man's world"). The part you found resembling "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" reminded me of "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' The Tears. This is common with Ghost and by now I'm convinced it's intentional.
Love this tune. Huge Ghost fan. Thanks for covering this.
Really pleased you've reviewed this. Impera is amazing.
Ghost signature guitars are Hagstrom Fantomen. That’s a great model of this Swedish brand. You could try one of them or even the Superswede model (Les Paul type, that I use when I play The Darkness’ songs). Also, the Superswede (Swedish old edition was sometimes played by Björn Ulvaeus). Cheers and keep on rockin’!
I have the white Fantomen. Hagstrom makes very nice guitars for good prices.
@@Eric_01 You’re right. I have both Fantomen and Superswede and they’re great in my opinion. I bought an used Superswede and never regret having done it. I also found the white Fantomen on Black Friday and couldn’t leave go. Both are let handed , which make everything more difficult to find a good deal. I wonder how good must be the old Made in Sweden models.
Love my hagstrom viking!
The Hagstrom has been a signature, but Per is now playing a Fender Strat with what appear to be Duncan Seymour Hot Rails in the neck and bridge position for this tour- Presumably to brighten the tone a bit- a little more classic 80s strat power-metal-ish.
@@TKID-17105 that's his own guitar, he's used it for years. And yea it's cool he got the godhead to use his own for ghost but yes probably to brighten the tone in the mix is right.
So happy you mentioned ABBA! I've been saying for some time that they sound like a modernized ABBA!
Tobias loves ABBA ☺️
I had never heard of Ghost until my son was in a tribute band for them. I really like the mysteriousness that they portray. Never seen another band anywhere close to that kind of thing.
I've been a fan since their first record. Saw them in LA on the first record, and they were amazing live. This new record hasn't grown on me yet, but you gave me an appreciation for this song.
That intro simultaneously reminds me of _The Show Must Go On,_ _I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight_ and _It's My Life._ Yep, the Dr Alban one.
The piano at the beginning reminds me of Runaway by Bon Jovi and then I hear Poison by Alice Cooper!
“Don’t Fear The Theme Song”
Yes, always thought there was a little BOC dna in Ghost, still like them 👻👻
Everyone should have Ghost in their lives - brilliant band!
'If you have Ghosts, you have everything'
Just a brilliant band live - pure entertainment (isn’t that what we all want?) . Great musicians, theatrical and humorous.
A must see anytime they tour.
If you are able to see them live, please do. They put a great show, probably one of my favorite concerts ever. They sound amazing and super fun show.
i wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by The Darkness, Justin, because I Believe In A Thing Called Love used to play A LOT in scandinavia, even after years and years. i remember it because everytime we had a vacation in Denmark like once in three years, i would hear it on the radio almost everytime we are in a car and it's a fun and catchy song
Ghost sounds like how you remember your favourite music from the seventies, eighties and nineties. It's an amalgam of everything you liked most.
Bei g a huge 80's stadium hair metal rock fan this song hit me right in the Nostalgia 😂
In a sentence: Yes, Ghost are still good! ✝🤘Kind of like a Swedish, occult Darkness. 😁
Incidentally that piano intro had me thinking of Money Money Money by ABBA.
It's the same exact piano!! ♥ That's probably why!
I immediately thought of Runaway on the intro, but you're right on with Cold as Ice as well. Chorus does sound like "Poison", but also like "Livin' on a Prayer".
I just jumped on the Ghost bandwagon last month and was fortunate to see them live as they rolled through Toronto about three days after me watching them online for the first time. I love Spillways and it’s my favourite song of this year. It was the reason I bought their latest CD (couldn’t find it on vinyl). Funny enough, I think Tobias sounds like Weird Al on Spillways.
For me I immediately heard "Runaway" at the beginning and then "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" during the guitar solo part.
Oh by the gods, thank you!
So much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
I would love to see and hear a Darkness/Ghost team up, two great rocking songwriters like Justin and Tobias would prolly create something really special if they put their heads together.
I'm hearing Foreigner in their rockier moments and even Toto's Hold the Line. I do like how they have brought these pre 80's rock structures and textures back. Maybe they will go full on psychedelic/garage rock for the next album
I love their new album
I'm no expert in the technical part of music, but I have seen many videos of musicians analyzing Ghost just like you and one thing that always shows is how unpredictable their songs are in terms of chords. I find that so cool
Im blown away by your musical knowledge and skill , I stand in awe mate !
piano starts...."I WANT TO BE, THE VERY BEST...GOTTA CATCH THEM ALLL"
Haha. I loved listening to his Ghost reviews. The first time I heard ghost back in 2018 was Rats, and the first thing I thought was that it sounded like Poison by Alice Cooper, crossed with Blue Oyster Cult. And when I first heard Call me little sunshine I thought of Hells Bells. I love that others pick up on those things too.
It‘s quite chilly outside, at least in the Bodensee area. Wearing suits when it‘s 35 and barechested when it‘s barely 20 - a tiny hint that „genius and madness go hand in hand“ might apply to you as well, Mr J. Hawkins 😉
After your first review of Ghost I have now become somewhat of a fan. Thanks for the introduction to their music. They are very creative and love how the image is very tongue and cheek. Loving the channel Justin and your musical insight and introduction to music I wouldn't normally have even listened to before.
I heard Kaisarion and thought, Justin's written this! Spillways is one of my favs off the alburm.
Very excited for this one
I can't decide which is better, the fact that Justin picks out this song so quick of the fact that he did the whole video in a towel.
Yep. Classic Rock meets Bjorn, Benny & The Birds. Gotta love Ghost.
Ghost never lets me down
im in music from 40 years a go when i heard for the first time Adam and the ants, and im so in love with Doom,Black and metal in general and i love bands like yours (one of my favourties, i saw you two times here in Barcelona) and of course the fucking Ghost from their first album the ritual.
and let me tell you I love your channel Mr. Every day I laugh with you and your freaky outings like singing the theme song of Neighbors or when you name old movies like Blazing Saddles, thankyou !!
To me, this is the best post you’ve done so far😃 cheers 🎼🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
For me, nothing beats "Call Me Little Sunshine" on this record.
I can only hear the Pokémon theme at the start. The start of kaiserion makes me think of an old bodyform ads too. "Woooooah bodyform, bodyform for yoooooou!"
I actually need you to do an acoustic cover of this that was beautiful
I cannot put my finger on exactly why? But when I hear Spillways, it reminds my of Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield
It’s funny that you picked up on the ABBA sound - the piano used in this song is actually a piano ABBA used. They recorded this album in the same studio that they worked in back in the day. Tobias is a very good songwriter in that he’s able to reference old stuff and make it new again, while maintaining its familiarity.
A little bit of the “Money Money Money “ intro style as well. Great Song with nice key changes here.
