Ghost - He is - Acoustic session in Paris 06/12/2015

[@FCmusic250]

I hope people don't underestimate how hard it is to pull off a solo like that on an acoustic guitar

[@semikruller]

I have one of those nameless ghoul masks.. trust me he cannot see anything in there either..

[@JeffTheDudeAbides]

I loved how Papa stepped away and gave the Nameless Ghoul full attention for the guitar solo.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

He usually does for solo parts. Papa is amazing :)

[@sophiexdark1416]

JeffTheDudeAbides he is so classy ;)

[@FlannelGorilla]

What do you think of him now? lol

[@abbestaabouri]

not so classy XD

[@yeehaw6267]

JON THE BOSS He's still amazing XD I mean like he said Ghost was never meant to be a "band" in the traditional sense, they've said years ago in interviews that they are primarily entertainers with a message. They're called "Nameless Ghouls" for a reason, they were meant to be interchangeable, replaceable, and only secondary. The focus was always on Papa Emeritus and the music/presentation itself

[@Fyrhp]

Papa's hair, voice, bodylanguage, everything is just perfect.

[@versagomoonslayer]

i really hope they keep him this time around.

[@dannyw6664]

I love the occasional raspy sounds in Tobias Forge's singing voice. He has really one of the best sounding voices in the music industry apart that he also makes an ecxeptional music too!

this got me shocked with how deep his voice is unlike original. i... that is not the only thing he goes deep. this went deep in my brain with how wonderful this is. and Ghouls are just making everything perfect.

that solo is NOT easy to do on an acoustic. well played. AND that's the bassist. what talent.

[@hnzeroghoul7474]

This bassist is the guy who recorded most of the guitars and all the bass on Meliora, incluinding the solos. Henrik Palm his name, and he is an amazing guitarist and bassist.

[@rAndOmPie1857]

​@@shawgale4178papa introduced them in another video of this session and btw one can learn to tell them apart

[@Jnrose94]

Papa's vocal range is truly underrated, incredible control I noticed throughout his live shows. Even with his voice cracking towards the end he still he keeps the melody smooth and crisp. Papa has a nice tone even though it's a bit nasally he pulls it off well but what really sets him a part is his rhythmic vocals, it's as if his voice dances to melody of the song. I would assume his vocal range is at least 3 octaves, 5 and 1/2 notes, Papa is truly a talented vocalist.

[@HLY66]

Josh Rose With this version, I always get nervous when he does the high note in 'holds' during the line "the disobedience that holds us together...." I keep thinking that he's sometimes hit and miss on the higher notes, but that's just me overthinking it.

[@leenahusa1806]

and he is a great voice talent. immitating a foreign accent this perfectly as papa is incredible

[@Fr34k1ng0ut]

And to think that he originally intended to only play guitar and maybe sing small parts in Ghost... xD

[@MicheleCiprianiit]

what?

You should post this on all of his live performances.

@@jacobschwartz829 he changes his character periodically so now his stage persona looks different to this video hence the 'dead' thing.

[@lattelucks4924]

For a tenor his lower range is pretty damn good, shocked at how resonant and easy those lower parts are for him, very talented

[@pollyanasilva3857]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG, they really should have an acoustic album! They sound even more PERFECT in acoustic version! :)

[@sixxkitty8687]

Lol they will! Don’t you worry there! Just watch and enjoy! 💚💚💚💚

[@Rainswife_]

His voice is so clear omg

[@iancavon7125]

It's amazing how Papa always has a more powerful, more emotional voice and shows a bigger vocal range live than in the studio recordings. With many singers, if not the most, especially in mainstream music, it's vice versa, for obvious reasons. But Papa? On CD, he's good. Live, he's great.

[@EvergreenOliviaTV]

I am amazed how he sang with the lower octave. He's really a good singer to be able to have many "voices". And that Alpha solo is difficult because it's with acoustic guitar.. ^_^ Ghost Ghost Ghost

[@philsalmon6870]

that solo has made by water the bassist ;)

[@garylayton5719]

Phil Salmon I was thinking that is water (Henrik Palm) playing it. He doesn’t have the tats on his hands. Simon (Alpha) does.

[@XistoKente]

The makeup and prosthetics don't allow Tobias to move his face freely. It's very hard - and all that much more impressive - to sing whilst being restrained.

[@ldy1luk]

The acoustic versions of this masterpiece of a song are amazing. The way he bridges 'we are falling' gets me every time. Singing along to this one, I can't reach his lower (baritone) range so I'm always singing an octave or two higher

[@xXuglywolfXx]

I've listened to quite a few of their live performances (and hopefully will see them myself this year), but this is one of the few songs where Papa sounds emotional, no matter the venue. The Ghouls even seem to get very involved in this song in particular. Just always good to see an artist enjoy their own work :)

[@chavezm621]

xXuglywolfXx if I recall correctly this song is about a friend that passed away. So it can't explain why they are emotional.
