+Xavier I'm the ultra noob when it comes to this band cause I just recently discovered them. Are all 3 Papa Emeritus the same singer? Would really apprechiate if you could answer me that question :)

[@s_u_l_f_u_r]

[@LuisRosa72]

+Gold Rush I think it's a safe bet to say that most people are aware that it's always been the same guy, but they like to play along with the band's mysterious identity gimmick. It really adds to their personality and makes them unique.

I don't mind people recording. But where I'm from, when the frontman invites you to sing, you sing.

[@frankiehudson8577]

Exactly.

[@the6shotmafia97]

Fr I was thinking the exact same... great minds lol

[@ppppppqqqppp]

They probably did, this isn't recording from a camera, it's recording from the soundboard. If you really think there would be this little sound coming from a crowd, you need to get your head checked, it's not even possible to stay that quiet, even if you're not enjoying a show.

[@lethayle3388]

The crowd is partly muted.

[@garylayton5719]

Unreal. Too busy holding their phones to even give Nameless Ghoul applause after the solo.

[@CSXGirl822]

I wish I had been a Ghost fan during this era... I came in right as they transitioned from Meliora to Prequelle. No I'm not one of those "The current Ghost sucks" people and I love Cardinal Copia too, but there was just something about Papa III and the Meliora era ghouls (even after the lineup changes) that the current era seems to lack. Maybe it's because the first Ghost song I heard was Square Hammer, maybe it's because all these wonderful videos of the third Emeritus made me a diehard fan. I just wish I could go back to witness it all as it happened and even have the chance to see Papa live. Yeah I know it's all the same man under the masks, but the characters he portrays have enough differences and their own personalities that once you miss a frontman, you just can't go back. RIP Papa III, I wish you could come back for one final encore.

[@keefh6897]

I heard this song on the digital station planet rock, and im absolutely hooked. cant believe ive only just found them. I like all their stuff, but Faith & Cirice are my top two. hard to pick. I'm 45 and I'm wishing for my goth days......

[@taintedsoul5551]

I honestly do not know how Papa makes it through this song without a tear. I get chills and teary eyed simply listening to the song on my CD...as I know the REAL meaning of it. But on the flip side - - Papa sure gave a POWERFUL performance and so much respect for his brother in this performance. CHIIILS! I love this band so much! HAIL GHOST AND PAPA!!

[@mrheadlessa]

By the REAL meaning, I assume you are referring to the death of his brother? If not tell me please, because that's what I heard it is about.

[@TheJohnypie]

yes please enlighten us all

[@mrheadlessa]

@Austin Ivey idk man, the way I understand the meaning after watching multiple interviews is that his brother was his shining and his like without whom he could not see. His brother introducing him to music and rock n roll at a young age and sort of paving his way into the future. And also keep in mind his brother died just before opus released and I believe that last line refers to that. The "falling over the precipice" opposite is like rising out of nothingness and you sure know Ghost like flipping things around i mean just look at the logo lmao. But that's how I interpret it, a song dedicated to his brother but music is meant to be interpreted differently, peace love and hugs man! ✌️

[@h4NNgry]

@cheezyandgreasy but he wrote this song to his wife. he talks about it in this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KZhGWendyBbtE&ab_channel=VÄRVET

Very interested to know if he's had operatic vocal training. His voice is beautiful, he doesn't take massive inhales inbetween lines, even the ones he holds for a long time. All that screams opera training to me! My Grandparents both sang opera & both funnily enough loved metal! It's funny to listen to a band & have your Grandpa nodding along then randomly say "That young man is a talented singer, he's worked hard on that voice!" Tobias is clearly very dedicated to Ghost & offering incredible performances, I'd love to know!

[@Natalia-gx9py]

We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames. Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names. He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see. And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be. He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater. He is. We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed. The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void. He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see. And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be. He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater. He is. He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see. And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.

[@awkwardartemis4508]

If I would have had the blessing of seeing this in person I would have been in tears at this performance.

[@lesliemann1655]

My personal litmus test for the quality of a metal band's material is to listen to it done acoustically; so many acts can shred and scream but it all falls apart as soon as they need to tone it down. Not to say that the fully electrified songs do him a disservice or anything, but I love this performance cuz it really lets Tobias's vocals shine for the powerhouse they are. Great stuff, man

[@isaacstrinavic4384]

That’s really stupid. That’s like saying I test pop songs by listening to them in drop B tuning and death screaming. Acoustic isn’t the same as electric, even the cords are changed to make it sound good. You can’t just take a electric song and play it unplugged, I’ve played ghosts songs without them plugged in and they sound wrong because they aren’t made that way, these songs have the cords changed so it sounds normal and good.
