Ghost / Tobias Forge - Hård rock på export, 2022 (English subtitles)

[@edvinparmeza1298]

If the frontman of Metallica praises your band as "fresh air for metal scene after all these years", you know you've made it to the legendary bands list.

[@gh3strr]

In all reality, something about the way Tobias says he's completely alone hurts my heart with a passion. To have all these great fans and band members is an absolute joy, but to come home and feel that way is a different type of pain you just can't truly mend. Though, I'm glad he can heal with the thought of "little me would absolutely love this idea" or "I know little me would be so proud of me." This man is truly an angel ❤️

[@carlossouzacosta4254]

[@carpediem6842]

He has a wife right?

[@Victoria__n]

I think he's describing the time when he is staying alone after the show is done. A lot of musicians feel the same way after they leave the stage.

[@shessomethingelse1639]

@@Victoria__n Every performer goes through that time. No matter if you are doing a play, performing a concert or something else that involves a crowd of people looking at you, there is always that feeling after a show. As a theatre actress, I immediately recognised the feeling Tobias described. That longing feeling, a sense of melancholy and relief mixed together. Certain homesickness.

[@Victoria__n]

@@shessomethingelse1639 yeah, that's true

[@nikoofthequart8235]

21:02 “I’ll take it as a badge of honor. I’m happy they don’t listen to us.” Iconic as always. Tobias Forge is amazing and nobody can tell me otherwise.

[@EllenMurphy-c1u]

I just started to know Ghost through Mary on a Cross. I like their music and think Tobias is a great singer.

[@hqodimistrash]

as a part of lgbt community i'm so damn grateful for the words tobias said. we need to protect this man at all costs.

[@NeonSlice]

What did he say exactly? I must have missed it :(

[@hqodimistrash]

@@NeonSlice 20:45

[@Missunderstood214]

@Neon Slice: he said that if people are going to call his music Gay in a negative way, he's glad they don't like him because he doesn't want fans like that.

[@mikecunningham6154]

@@Missunderstood214 calling his music is Gay in a positive way is better??? If someone is calling his music Gay in a negative way they aren't going to be a fan but I'm sure he knew that.

[@Missunderstood214]

@@mikecunningham6154 He doesn't like when people use "Gay" as a slur in general. He doesn't like Homophobes so he doesn't want them to like him, either. He's Swedish and Satanist so he's really Liberal about that kind of stuff. He has said that if the LGBT+ community identifies with any of his characters (Papa IV definitely seems a bit fruity), though, then he's all for it so, yes, I think he'd be okay with people calling his music Gay in a positive, theatrical sense.

[@CarnorJast1138]

I will be a Ghost fan as long as they are around, end even after they no longer make music. Ghost is an experience, not just a fad. Ghost is Ghost, and that is enough for me. I will always love them, and they will always be part of my life. Period!

[@ffsvelchin]

Period!!

[@WinyanHanhepiwi]

I can't even begin to express how much I enjoy the fact that, underneath the mask, the Ghost frontman and mastermind is actually a sweet-faced, calm, beautiful man. I don't understand how anybody could think he's any kind of "sheep", though. However mild his manner, it's pretty clear to me that he's possessed of a ferocious intellect and a tremendous amount of drive. Make no mistake: he's a wolf all right, of the very best kind.

[@cassidyxandersonn7073]

Tobias has such a pure, genuine soul. The way he connects with his inner child and nourishes that connection. It’s so incredible to hear him say that he lays down and falls into touch with 10 year old him to say we made it. I will always love Ghost.

[@mikecunningham6154]

Pure, Genuine Soul. That's what they said about Michael Jackson. Until the last part, until he lays down to and falls into Touch a 10 year old and says we made it.

[@Zaameraaron]

@@mikecunningham6154 the fuck does that have to do with Ghost or Tobias?

[@obscure_alternatives]

I love it when I hear musicians/bands speaking in their native languages ☺️

[@PaulterBite]

I don’t understand Swedish in the slightest but I just enjoy hearing Tobias’ voice. Like genuinely something about it whether he’s singing, speaking in English or Swedish (even latin for a line in a song) it’s just comforting to me.

[@rexdreamweaver]

Same, just something about his voice is very comforting regardless of what language he's speaking. He could read the ingredients off of a label and I'd still love to hear it.

[@thelurekings-osrs3383]

Imagine hating a band like Ghost. They got everything, the image, the music and the personality. We the fans, love it. Tobias is a genius. That comment comparing them to ABBA, another iconic Swedish band is a massive complement. I think the sound is very unique and they're definitely my favourite band as of right now. -Prophet

[@michareacts]

Exactly! We love Abba, they were pioneers, and so is Ghost with their unique style!

[@boodge.]

Don’t hate them, but I have tried to listen to multiple songs and just cannot get into them. Tried watching this to get a better understanding of them, which I did, but their music doesn’t jive with me. Maybe in the future it will click.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

@@boodge. Listening to an album is really the best way, in my opinion, because Forge spends a lot of time thinking of each as a full record. "Meliora" is the one I started with and is still my favorite (also the one from the Grammy win)

[@boodge.]

@@Frank.E.Valley I listened to Meloria and watched some live performances: the musicianship is top notch, as are the arrangements, the production and songwriting/harmonies. Yet, the music does not touch me in the gut, something about it is not heavy enough for my taste. The best analogy I can make is Ghost ,to me, is like a Disney production of Phantom Of The Opera on Broadway, written by King Diamond. Obviously, they are successful and good on them, but it’s not my cup of tea and that’s ok.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

@@boodge. Well you gave it a good honest try at least! I have similar opinions on other bands so I definitely get it.

[@azullara8681]

The way Tobias has absolutely stolen my heart He is an amazing human being, such a pure heart and talented person I adore him so much

[@2703Susann]

As a Norwegian(or scandinavian for that matter) , to hear him speak his own language is great. He sounds soo much more comfortable 👌🏻

[@sylviemeurant2272]

Tobias looks so sad at the end of the interview 😢He is so humble. He should be so proud of him and no doubt that the succes of Ghost will grow up! He is a legend…❤

[@supervike1]

I'll never understand how people will not listen to music because it doesn't fit in their little 'box' of description. Music has to be categorized before they can like it? What a sad world that would be. Ghost is the best thing that's happened to rock music in a long time.

[@dalebarbaraxxx5357]

Exactly, not everything needs a little category-it’s just awesome music.

[@michareacts]

I mean, I'm your typical Swedish person so by basically saying Ghost is the Abba of metal is actually a very positive thing for me, love it 😂

[@brandylusk4492]

21:55 actually made me a little sad for him. You can tell that it hit a nerve for him. I just want to hug him and tell him that he's perfect and amazing

[@janiii9997]

It’s so hard to hate Ghost honestly. I mean sure most people don’t dig the lyrics and overall appearance of the band but one should be aware that there is a hell lot of talent behind this band project. Not only that Tobias is a gorgeous singer, great actor and witty songwriter (who knows how to perfectly play with the English language even though he’s not a native speaker) and all the Ghouls definitely know how to use their instruments in one of the most skilful ways ever. The lore is a whole world to explore for itself. For me, Ghost is a brainphooking ensemble of talent, creativity and many other small parts that work together perfectly to create this one big project of a band.

[@broccoli2076]

I can't believe there are people who HATE Ghost. Their music is something incredible I'm so glad I joined the fandom! 🖤 Do those people really think comparing them to one of the most iconic band ABBA sounds like an insult?

[@MyriamP]

Thank you for the subtitles! It's really great to hear him speak in Swedish, and to be able to understand what he says!

[@Nanakanisurra]

I really like brother Tobias. I really do. I don't care what the haters say. I think he deep down has a good heart and a kind demeanor. He's confident in his art and in his vision. Not ashamed to be himself, that's all.

[@geezberry8889]

will be a lifelong Ghost fan. they have enough phenomenal music under their belt it doesn't matter what they do going forward, all those albums are is set in stone

[@wanderingtear8882]

Protect this man at all costs!!!! He deserves the world, so glad he’s conquering it all with Ghost!

[@evternal1574]

i could listen to tobias speaking swedish all day also his voice is so calming

[@DantesGrill]

This entire documentary was such a good walktrhough of Swedish music export as a whole. Really hope SVT releases the entire thing with subtitles so more people can learn something about how and why people see Sweden as one of the biggest countries when it comes to metal.

[@akiraalbireo397]

I hope so too! It's interesting how friggin good the swede metal and rock musicians are. There are some documentaries about the German metal scene, maybe they're hitting a similar vein? (I'm from Germany, our pop music is SHIT. But metal is alright here 😁)

[@weenrfart3000]

as a metal fan, i find it weird how upset metal fans get about Ghost when they never really even called themselves metal? like yeah they have a lot of metal influence and they look much harder than they sound but whatever genre they might be, it's still just awesome, youre allowed to listen to things that arent strictly heavy metal lol

[@arashdegreat]

What a journey! Love this guy's commitment to chasing his dream

[@user-dt9yi3hv9h]

I love the end of this the interview. I too remember listening to night time radio. The promise of the mysterious future and the waiting world.

[@davidristic3800]

As someone who thinks "Vengeance" by Blue Oyster Cult is one of the most creative songs ever made, especially for its time, having this band is like having that song get reborn time and time again. Love it.

[@OzLeedsCrew]

Love em'! & like Hetfield said "a breath of fresh air". I'm 42, been in bands and I've been into metal since 1991, Meshuggah to Slaughter to Prevail, Hatebreed, Kreator, Amon Amarth and everything in between. Elitist metalheads are a pain in the ass, anyone who hates Ghost is going straight to heaven 😈\m/\m/

[@torgiwankenobi1155]

Ironic: Witch Image is my favourite song. I love how the complete Ghost-lore is a 10-years-old-fantasy. Makes much things clear.

[@Vermiliontea]

Such a clear, boyish voice. Now it makes sense how he can sing so good.

[@wadekemmsies7180]

They are the Kiss of this century. Ghost are real...and heavy hitter

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

For me Scandinavian rock is some of the best whether its Ghost or the hellacopters, or hanoi rock's who are from Finland not actually Scandinavian but from the nordic region just great music

[@markstorer7204]

Excellent interview and a real insight I to the phenomenon that is Ghost🤘🤘🤘

[@msmoniz]

That part of the metal community that have a hate on for Ghost are hilarious, complaining because many of their melodies are pop sounding, they are not capital M metal!🤦‍♂ I guess then Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden are not "metal", even though you can whistle many of their melodies and are pop sounding. I mean isn't that the goal of any music regardless of genre? To have a melody you can hum or whistle, that burrows into your head and you enjoy? These holier than thou metalheads need to get a grip, and possibly a life!

[@TheSteinbitt]

People like different music, some need poppy melody hooks, others like intricate grooves, some want aggression and mosh, some like technicality and skill. There’s nothing wrong in disliking ghost, as long as we can all agree that abba is the greatest band ever.

[@hbkjn281]

24:40 - So he has no one to listen to Swedish music with or share his favourite Swedish songs with? When I first listened to this interview, it inspired me to build a playlist of Swedish songs that are randomly recommended to me on Apple Music. I'm learning Swedish also so it's very useful when learning new words and their pronunciations.

[@billwren5033]

Funny because people say you either Love them or hate them there is no in between but there is. I am one in between. I like some of there songs and music but not all of it. as far as hating them and calling them not Metal that is for the ear of the beholder.

[@oldtimesong]

I don't know who that overly offended dude is but... xD Imagine being THIS offended by a band playing music and dressing up... I love metal music but can't stand most of its fanbase. Bunch of elitists. Thank you immensely for creating subtitles for this! God, I love how Swedish sounds.

[@Greywind_]

His channel is called "The house of masks" and yeah he tends to get a little too butthurt over things he doesn't agree with most of the time. It is quite annoying listening to some of his opinions sometimes, he is kind of an elitist tbh lol.

[@Gregbaltzer]

He's huge into Slipknot , Gwar, and lots of 'gimmick' bands but hates Ghost. So, he's not against bands dressing up, that's the foundation of his channel.

[@oldtimesong]

@@Gregbaltzer Well, I really don't understand, then. When I was a teen I was a huge fan of Slipknot, they had only released two records then so they were still pretty new. I remember every elitist out there making fun of them. I haven't listened to them in at least 10 years so I don't really know where are they now and how new generations see them but... what I mean is, if you love Slipknot, chances are you are gonna, at least, respect Ghost. I don't know, I grew up with a dad ADORING Genesis. I like theatrical stuff and bands with masks and out of the box performances. Life's too short to hate on music. Enjoy what you like, ignore what you don't, and shut up xD

[@Gregbaltzer]

@@oldtimesong I was into Slipknot's first 3 albums, same as I love Ghost's first 3 albums most. I think there's something hypocritical to hate on a band when you've probably spent a lot of time defending a band you love.
