Those damn Swedes don't skip leg day, that's for sure

Anyone that says "Ghost is overrated" has not listened to them. Tobias is just a genius and people think that because there is so much that is obviously influenced by other bands that he is just copying them. If you listen, you know that it's all original and it's way more complicated musically than anything that was done by the bands of the 80's. This is one of my favorite bands, and watching this video just takes me back to the rituals I've seen and I want more! By the way, not sure if you're trying to stay chronological in order, if so you'll have to wait, but Griftwood is one you're going to want to hear. Mummy Dust should be on the list, too. :)

Griftwood rules!

Faith and Kaisarion have probably my favorite guitar licks to play.

Kaisarion is such a great song, and I love how it's got a sort of late 80's Iron Maiden vibe.

@@neuralmute I hear Rush more than Maiden.

The guitar is called Hagstrom Fantomen, it's their signature guitar based off the Gibson RD, which they used to play before the Fantomen

what? Hagström is Swedish from the same city as IKEA. started 1905. (well it could be based but i doubt it i'm a synth nerd not guitar nerd :D).

No Hagström is not from the same town as IKEA. Not even close. Hagström is from Älvdalen in the province of Dalarna while IKEA is from Älmhult in the province of Småland.

🤘 Faith is such a banger live and the crowd always gets so into it. I always enjoy your Ghost reactions - it brings me back to when I first heard these songs. I would recommend Absolution from the Meliora album, Witch Image from the Prequele album, and Watcher in the Sky from the Impera album. Also from Impera, Twenties rocks pretty hard (but has also been divisive amongst fans due to some new and unusual choices), and Respite on the Spitalfields is just amazing. NEMA! 🤘

You have got to see these guys live. Been to a ton of shows but they're aren't many that hold up to a Ghost show. They are tight as fuck and so entertaining! Can't wait til you dive into their albums! Their last 3 are phenomenal!

Glad you got into Ghost. They put a dumb smile on my face every fucking time. See them live, rituals are true experiences.

Best thing that has happened to music in the last 20+ years. Un-phucking-believeable!

Welcome to the Addiction, this will be the best live show you will ever see🎉

Love your reaction. What is most refreshing and exciting about Ghost is great songwriting. I'm not trying to over-simplify, but so many musicians focus on complexity and miss the making a song from that. Playing Ghost isn't that difficult, but writing songs as exciting, and memorable as Ghost is extremely difficult. Anyone who thinks Ghost is over-rated is missing out on all the fun - and one of the best bands around.

Thank you for doing this reaction journey in which I can re-live my own Ghost exploration past from first listen to falling in love. Still really can't figure out or put my finger on why I am so 100% sold on their stuff.

Fully agreed on that simplicity note. I know you talked about their solo work on a different vid, but in general their songs are always pretty 'tidy.' But I think Ghost/Tobias do a great job of making it all seem easy. Covering the song? Sure, not gonna be all that challenging. The real key is in the composing. Being able to blend all these simple elements in a manner that ends up complementing every other individual aspect is a giant talent of his. He makes it seem so easy to do it, writing songs that make you go, "Omg, why didn't I just do that????" They're a stellar example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

Really enjoying your reactions and your new found love of Ghost. I've only been a fan for a couple of years, but they just seem to have it all!

Good to see you are enjoying Ghost. It's a real spectacle and a must see mate. At the time they were using Hagstrom Fantomen guitars.

Personal fave is Dance Macabre, which is what sold me on them. It is super 80s sounding though, so if you like The Scorpions or Boston it’s that kind of vibe. You might like Witch Image as well. Enjoying these vids! Welcome to the fandom!

Check out either Griftwood or Watcher In The Sky, both off Impera

Man I really like your reactions and comments, it's great to see your journey as a new fan. He is and From the pinnacle are great suggestions. On the prog alley, I would recommend Genesis from Opus Eponymous (last track of their first album), Miasma, or Helvetesfonster (both from Prequelle). All three of them are instrumental

definitely the very best Ghost guitar riff and solo track!

Kerry King disagrees 😜

The guitar is called a hagstrom I believe. He now plays a fender strat on the new tour as he says its comfier for him to play the new material

Dude. We are on the same journey with this amazing band. On September 12, I had never heard a note of this bands music. My son took me to a show in Bangor, Maine that night. I left that show a permanent and thorough fan. It’s a fucking blast watching you on it. Ghost just rocks.

From the Hagstrom website: "You can find the Fantomen on stage with Ghost. You don’t have to be a Nameless Ghoul to play it, and you can be sure the guitar available at your Hagstrom dealer is identical in every way to those on stage with Ghost!"

I can't wait to see your reaction to Spillways, a song on IMPERA. You're gonna love it!!!

This is one of my favorites! 💖

Hope you will try out ”Zenith”…a bit of a hidden gem 😊

"Mummy Dust" next! Same vibe as "Faith", evil and hard! Oh and don`t miss "Secular Haze" with its psycho circus meets black sabbath vibe. Pure EVIL! ... and after those, do all the songs from the "Meliora" album, dotted with some sweet proggy stuff , then go down to "Prequelle" album for some medieval despair and sorrow. ;)

If you want to listen to what Tobias Forge can do, check out his old band called "Repugnant" ;)

I was at this show, it was mental!!!

Ill go along for the ride with you. I got into Ghost about 2 years ago and Im completely obsessed with them. Went to a ritual in February and just loved every minute of it

everything about Ghost is Effing fantastic!

I got into this band a few months ago and I agree with you 110% that I absolutely need to see them live. I see so many videos and get so jealous lol. I think you should check out mummy dust or absolution next!

I saw them on the last show of their US tour. Still played hard . Carcass played with them , great band . I like that I see a Ghost reaction where I watch Band Maid reactions.

Yes to more Ghost!!🤘

Wow just saw you here cheers from Sweden. If you did this one try the "Bible" one its the creation of all lives. Actyually a cover on a old Swedish punkpand but still riiiight up Ghost alley :p

I love watching your Ghost reactions. From 1993 to 2012 NIN was my absolute favorite band and now Ghost has tied for that spot. For me, each album gets a little bit better than the last. Their covers are amazing as well. Definitely check out some covers if you haven't already.

I’ve seen them three times…definitely go.

You get it. It just kills me how so many people talk shit about this band. This band is fucking wicked.

The guitar you asked about is a Hagström Fantomen. Per (solo) plays the white one and Chris (rhytm) plays the black one. The used this setup for the whole Prequelle tour but as Per never liked it (it's a heavy guitar) he now has gone back to his favorite guitar. A white Fender Stratocaster that you can see if you watch clips from the Impera Tour. Chris still plays on the Hagström thou. You can see the whole setup and everything they use in this behind the scenes video. Please react to Watcher in the sky next. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHt7w9qidcXXf5c.html

Per's a great guitarist, but he's also a really tiny guy - he's short, and you can see how skinny he is! I can see how he'd like a Strat better than something heavier.

I have one and they sure are heavy

They pride themselves of being Sweden based so the guitarists play Hagström (as well as other brands ofc) and I think the bassplayer plays mostly Sandberg which is a small, Swedish brand that makes some of the sweetest basses!

Please react to Mummy Dust!! And react to Life Eternal (make sure it's the live from Mexico)! I absolutely guarantee you will love it!!

Ghost is absolutely evil. Don't let people say they are Scooby Do. They are fantastic and don't worry abut lyrics s

I’m here for it dude! 💖

They're coming back 2023. Tickets 🎟 go on sale 2/17/23 supposedly

Best band in many,many years. Check out square Hammer

The guitar is a Hagström Fantomen.

there's a bonus track called "Zenith" that's really cool; it's dark, but it's not really heavy, i guess, I don't think there's a video or a live performance of it, but it's worth a listen in your spare time at least. if you want something fun, listen to "I'm A Marionette" by ABBA and then listen to the Ghost version and compare the pair; they do a few good covers

Awesome video!! Thanks for foing this one, I knew you would like it. Next should be Ghost - Dance Macabre from the same album. Also you should listen to the band Kamelot 😁

Thinking about what you says, about progressive rock and songwriting, I come to mind of something Tobias said, he likes progressive rock, obviously: "The really beautiful part only comes once, and then it's gone. And you have to wait for 7 minutes for it." And that thought, I suppose, is what he has in mind when he writes his own songs.

I love these ghouls masks, a great appearance, it just fits everything at Ghost ❤️❤️👻🙏

YOU got to listen to Opus Eponymous their Debut Album it brings tears to one’s eyes

the guitars are the Hagstrom Fantomen, and you should check out Miasma (instrumental)

2:35 that guitar is a Hagström Fantomen Custom

I believe the guitar is a Hagström Fantomen.

Kiesel guitars 🤘

Fantomen guitars 🎸 I think they said

Never really got into Ghost but i do know this song and of the song ive heard from them "Faith" is probably my favorite song from them. And BTW Lovebites introduced their new bass player 🤘 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWeVj8ecppjKh7w.html

If you were already there at "Rats" "Faith" isnt going to change your mind.
