Not sure what I just (kinda) watched :))))) lololol

LOLLL I love Ghost

Posted By: Bedlam_in_TorontoI hated Ghost at first — thought they were hipster assholes.

But after a while I had to concede they (or Papa, really, as I think it's a one-man show, really) do some very interesting stuff.

And they add some theatrics and mystique to music, which has been long missing since perhaps the 80s.

Coming from BIT, this should be considered a raving review! : )

Now, that's what you call a teaser!

I find the older pope looks cooler than the younger one if I'm being honest.

Posted By: RonSaw Ghost live last year and thought they were great. They aren't really doing anything Alice Cooper didn't do back in the day but there aren't many rock bands out there that give a shit about putting on a show as opposed to just playing a gig.

Personally, I think Ghost's music is a lot better than Alice's. I hope the band continues to get bigger, as the shows will just get better.

Posted By: BallToucherI like a couple of their songs, but Ghost is the latest trendy act. The Alice Cooper Group turned 50 years old a couple of days ago and their songs still resonate to younger audiences.

Let's wait and see where Ghost is 5 or 10 years from now.

There's been some buzz about Ghost for a couple of years now, so the time is ripe for them to make a statement with this new album.
We'll see what happens. So far, so good.

Thank you Jack B. Nimble for bringing this magnificent song to my attention:

They need to toughen up their guitar sound. The potential is there though.

I don't agree. I like the sound the way it is. Softer tone with the keyboards sounds great.

It will be tough to make a better album than Meliora, but I hope there are a couple of "hits", so that they can play some bigger arenas and really put on a good stage show.

Now this is funny. The 8 Track for $35.00 is sold out.

Posted By: rideon77This a fantastic song! BOC sounding song but fantastic!

Great song. It would be nice if there were a couple of these type of songs on the new album. Love the main riff! Simple but catchy.

The heavy riff reminds of Symphony of Destruction.

I like a lot the new Song. Pretty good "Jake E Lee" sounding riff

Posted By: BallToucherSeems like they're trying to be more mainstream.

Probably yes. But they always had that "pop" feel that I use to like a lot. Especially in the vocal harmonies . Very BOC to me

THE LOVELY EGGS..........THIS IS EGGLAND

You can say that again!

I've been listening to the latest Night Flight Orchestra for a couple of months now, and last weekend, I couldn't get enough of "Raattsss!!!!"

Papa Emeritangus can bring out a new album if he wants but don’t call it Ghost, I mean he’s the only original member left, he fired the original ghouls. Without them it’s just not Ghost. He should just shitcan his band and do a blues album instead.

Eating a large slice of humble pie here. I got so fed up with Classic Rock magazine pushing Ghost at every opportunity that I cancelled my subscription.

Since this thread has been up, gotta say I'm coming round. Very catchy, poppy and what I've heard so far has been a succession of earworms. Might actually go out and buy an album which is a rare occurrence these days.

Meanwhile this is one chorus I can't stop hearing:

The image stuff is just showmanship. Nowt wrong with a gimmick if the songs stand up.

I don't remember Classic Rock pushing Ghost, but I was without a subscription for several months, so maybe it was during that time. What I do remember them doing is praising The Darkness constantly. A band that I will never understand. Talk about silly.

Treehorn, you're not going to like next month's issue. : )

OK, well watched a couple of these ... Meh.
This dude is visually interesting in a King Diamond sort of way, which I like .... but the music? Pretty nondescript, metal lite to my ears.
And that Cirice track? I mean it's OK ... but the rift sounds lifted, why not go to the real thing?
