Ghost: Dueling guitars ending in Sweet Home Alabama from Huntsville, Al

[@synikalhuman2875]

Dear Mr Cooper, this was the first video I ever saw of Ghost and I would like to thank you. For the last 2 years I’ve become addicted (not in a bad way) to this band. BTW my first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1977

[@dbcooper7566]

This makes me smile! Love being able to turn people to Ghost! It's definitely easy to become addicted. Such an interesting and talented group! Around 2015, I went on a 10 hr road trip w/a friend of mine and he started with "Square Hammer" which opened my eyes to them, and it was all over from there 🤣
