Ghost - Dance Macabre / Square Hammer - LA Forum 11/16/2018

[@EdgarAllanPogo]

After getting to know the quirks of each Ghoul, it is SO easy to spot them out. Aether really do be the dad.

[@willhickey7387]

I can tell by which instrument they are playing. Lol.

[@alihart7849]

Firstly, anyone who doubts their live ability should watch this video. Secondly, they look like the most fun band to play with live! Playing guitar or bass with them on that stage would be a joy

[@faceless2056]

Agreed. Just what I was thinking. Any instrument actually.

[@jerelampinen5838]

The ghoulettes are so sexy..😘

[@FoxtaleHi]

Thats the whole point of Ghost, as said by Tobias, its to make people smile and dance and have a good time. True satanists

[@lisamccoy8516]

They were one of the funnest bands to watch I have EVER seen and I am old and have seen a lot. I don't think its much of an act as they are all really supportive of each other " in real life" I love these guys ( and gals !!!)

[@WickedRaccoon16_61]

I saw them 3 times and your absolutly right. Even this video doesn't give them enought justice to how good they sound live its incredible. When they played miasma live i just lost it its still to this day one of the best live performance iv ever saw. It was absolutly beautiful on the eyes and ears. Cant wait for september to see them againe 🤘🤘

[@kevind445]

This is one band that don’t need a studio to sound great. Not to many can do that. Freaking awesome !!!!

Loving the "rebelious Ghoul" with rolled up sleeves :-)

[@shannonlucas2980]

In his other band, that's basically his outfit except w a white tie lol

[@Sam-vg9ru]

That 'ghoul' is rather a sign of god. Maybe even a Christ figure without the T of course. Some would say he's catalyst that just helps keep this live show bound together.

I love that it's a faceless band and people are there for the music not an Individual person or such..sign of the times?

[@wallyhuncho2998]

I mean, something that really stood out for me when discovering Ghost was the looks and also the "acting", in a very good way, even if the music is on another level.

[@ebrokstad]

Not a sign of the times rock band have been doing stuff similar to this since the 70s and probably before

Just discovered this band really. I’m old. They rock.

[@pis8160]

Being a swede I am proud to state that Sweden, in relation to its population, is a huge superpower in the world of music. This is one of the best examples. Ok, to be fair there are three americans on stage here, but still :-)

[@michaelvessel4604]

Still, the main dude behind the band who writes and composes all of the music is a Swede.

Swede who is proud of our music here as well! Ghost is awesome, going to see them opening for Metallica in Gothenburg in less than a month

Just started listening to them, it's like pop metal with an 80's feel.

[@ralfhenke8148]

I saw Ghost 3 or 4 years ago in Cologne, Germany and I didn't really know what to expect as I had just discovered their music (and a little bit of their stage presence via YT)... turned out to be one of the best gigs I ever attended - even though I had to go on my own which is usually a bit of a crap experience). The sound was formidable, their show HUGELY entertaining (all that sinister "satanic" stuff is offset by a stage performance that reveals them as probably the nicest, most charming and lovable guys ever)... behind Dave Grohl, that is. Of course. 😀) The music is pretty excellent throughout in embracing so many styles from so many decades. The band's musicianship also is of the highest order (as you'd expect from a buch sent by the luscious Lucifer himself, haha). Quite an outstanding package and well worthy of their success. I really came to them for the hardrock/metal but indeed I stayed for everything they got. Thanks to Satan for this band! (Come on, you gotta give credit, where credit is due, dontcha?!) 😁 🤘😈🤘

[@4wheelwarrior]

Ya know, I think Ghost might be challenging us to rise above the God/Satan paradigm entirely ... a whole lot of incredible music came from sources besides Satan ... and self-styled Christian rock is phony as fuck. Great music comes from somewhere beyond, that much is 100% certain.

[@TheJonathanc82]

The ghouls and Tobias are freaking awesome. Ghost is one hell of an act.

[@crushingbelial]

The times I have been fortunate to see them - they play the house. Such a fun live band. Very much so looking forward to seeing them again.

That's "Swiss Army" Ghoul. He also plays keytar and saxophone, and used to do more keyboard and percussion before the Ghoulettes came on. I don't think he's used to having so much down time on stage! 😄😄😄

Semi-pro ballet dancer, also do modern, fire tricks, and some burlesque for fun. Ghost would not have to pay me to dance with them, I'd pay *them* for the opportunity to just be a part of that fucking amazing show! Just give me the costumes and show me the steps, and I'm ON! Bonus to pop on a tutu and pointe shoes and do a classical duet with the Cardinal for Danse Macabre! XD
