So, when learning this bass line, I realized that half the time the 6th fret is played, it is played 3 times in a row, so the tab spells "6 6 6". While I think it's just a neat coincidence, I wouldn't be surprised if this was on purpose, given it's Ghost.

I love the Luciferian metaphor of somebody being chosen above the others to wield power equal to that of the powers that be, then casting himself from the highest heights and resurrecting after his destruction more powerful, bringing the power to the people. It's almost an exact replica of Samael's rise to the perfect archangel, his destruction of heaven, and his apotheosis through Hell. And it's done so wonderfully stylized and human. Well done! Bravo!

"From the pinnacle, to the pit" This sounds so good.

In Gnostic myth, the judeo-christian "god" is actually a being known as Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, a false deity that usurped creation from the true Creator and claimed that it was the one true god. Satan is actually an entity called Satanael, an angel that rebelled against Yaldabaoth by unmasking it and revealing it to be what it truly is, casting the christian lucifer in a much more positive spin. Meliora's overarching theme is that of the void, an absence of god, and I think it's really interesting how they've combined that with Pinnacle to the Pit being about the fall of Lucifer alongside the idea that he's actually tearing away a false god's power. Wear your independence like a crown.

Just saw Ghost live and they were great. Tons of energy, funny, great effects, great crowd.

I love this video and the imagery so M-U-C-H!! It's based on the classic German silent Fritz Lang film: "Metropolis". Superb. The film is a masterpiece; and so is this song and video!!!

02:37 I ALWAYS hear "Cruising your Go-Bots". Poor Papa's youth, couldn't afford Transformers..

Ghost i hope you hear this all of you. your music has touched me more than anything ive ever experienced, honestly i listened to you guys on the radio and hated you, then a week ago my girl made me read your lyrics and you touched my soul.. my girl amd i were bout to break up, then we found you and we are now closer than ever. In just a week you have blown my opinions on slipknot and lamb of god and tool who were my favorites out of the water. I cant express how much i appreciate your contribution to my well being even though you will never see this. From the bottom of my heart your music has changed my point of view from pessimistic in the fake glow of wannabe faith to shining the darkness amd acceptance of what life really consists of upon me..

I remember when this was the first Ghost tune ever played over the radio. Had never heard of them and was blown away.

Best bass line ever, hands down

Metropolis + The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari + Ghost = fucking fantastic music video. Great work, this video is just dripping with so much style I love it

1:15 I like the idea that there are dozens of people just crowding around a pictures of frowns, hours on end, for entertainment.

I hope I get to see them before I die.

Idk how I made it here, but I'm glad I did. This is amazing stuff.

This band makes my soul complete!

Their words are just....wow😍 I can't express how much I love this band

I don´t care if this is "pop" or "metal" or whatever... it´s cool music and I dig it!!

Doesn't the teacher in 0:55 looks like Nikola Tesla?

Okay, but are we going to ignore the irony of Papa Emeritus literally being a ghost?

that's what the name "papa emeritus" means

@TheGoose91

8 жыл бұрын

I think that means something more like "the one who deserves to be called Father". Papa is obviously the classic Pope figure and emeritus kind of means merited or deserved, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Just my guesstimate.

+Gås Productions In the traditional sense of the word emeritus means a person who holds a position they will retire from or a person who previously held a position but are now retired; such as an emeritus professor. I am unsure of the usage of the word beyond that. However, this definition is apt in this instance as well.

Papa Emeritus is a title in the Catholic Church. It is a person who was a Pope, but died, an ex-pope. I thought that was a well-known fact.

( if you wanna know what their band is get this to 20 likes 😅)

Super cool bass intro. This and Secular Haze are my favorites.
