3:47 - 4:30 I love seeing them backstage, it's like seeing your favourite fictional characters in real life doing normal stuff

[@lin-jx6zq]

Couldn’t explain it better

[@davismo_]

nameless ghoulette backup vocals on the backing stage scene playing Rats were simple amazing

He's just an honest dude and a huge music fan. He's a musician's musician and everything he writes is a tribute to his heroes with his own spin and I love it so much.

[@LGMH69]

YES exactly.

[@Hokyoplasmicwaffle]

@Ralfi Ralf it’s no secret, he’s talked about it many times throughout the years. Ozzy in the 80s, and in turn sabbath, Uriah heap, Ultravox, Boston, Venom, Demon, Pentagram, Bathory, he denies it but you can hear it in Blue Oyster Cult, Talking Heads, The Cars, Bowie.... you should definitely just go down the rabbit hole of 70s and 80s rock and you will hear Ghosts music throughout. They even pull from ABBA.

[@Hokyoplasmicwaffle]

Also his cover songs speak a lot to his influences. You should also check out his past bands Magna Carta Cartel, Subvision. They are pretty damn awesome in their own right.

[@bradkneely2798]

Absolutely. Well put.

[@the_klaw_]

Best description of him I've seen.

[@dudeman8766]

I wish they would show more backstage stuff like how TF gets into character

[@nienkehuijbens301]

I don’t think they’ll ever show that, simply to maintain that air of mystery that Tobias envisions

[@steven2212]

Get used to it...these guys are going to be around a long time. Fantastic talent.

[@robertpreston2220]

there were people saying years ago this band would only last two or three years lol

People seem confused about the questions being written in French, so here let me translate them for you: - What was your first concert? - Do you remember the first festival you've been to? - Do you like festivals? - Have you met all your childhood heroes yet? - What did you think of James Hetfield's cover of 'Cirice'? - What's your favourite live album?

[@madhattergaming6473]

His voice is so soothing

[@SuperTurtlemandude1]

Tobias is a man of respect and talent

[@willhersey3884]

He's a man of sympathy and taste

[@Ryliarc]

@@willhersey3884 He's been around for a long, long time

[@microbus99]

Tobias is truely our new rock idol. His younger but had an older Brother that influenced like most of us.The man is unstoppable for the next level of rock and so much more. So much creativity.

[@StealthySpace7]

I like that the first bit is shot like it’s a confession in the booth

[@metalxstv]

Exactly! That was the intention

[@LGMH69]

Love this man. Met him once, really cool guy.

[@ivansnegireff8774]

Something told me all you guys but the first band ever want to meet is Volbeat solidgoldivan

[@joshportnoy8102]

Oh man, lucky!

[@YuckTradingCo]

"bUt ItS nOt MeTaL!!@#)(@!(*!!!#" I'm a metal head, but I also know good entertainment and music when I see and hear it. Seen these ghouls twice and hopefully many more times!

4:42 to 4:54 I love hearing her voice 😍 ❤️

[@kuromyou7969]

7:49 Cookie of fantasy. That's how I felt meeting the Cardinal in Sept. He was so kind and beautiful. 😭

[@terriemathis8391]

Van Halen and BTO were my first.. After listening to Ghost there is no other. Tobias you and your music changed my life, and I'll always be grateful ❤️ I love you so much ❤️🖤

[@jamescrouch3217]

KISS ALIVE! was the first album I was exposed to, thanks to my older brother, and blew me away. Then came Destroyer! I still get chills of excitement when thinking about receiving it for my birthday ☺️. GHOST has brought that kind of excitement back! Love that band!

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

OMG! We've got another backstage look! Woohoo! Very rare!

[@sheilagrass5658]

I like how straightforward and laid back Tobias is. I love you Guys ghost is such a refreshing and absolutely addictive music to hear. I just love ❤️ all the music can’t wait for them to come to the USA in 2021 USA tour dates are gunna be noted required off work and it’s going to be a hell of a great show and I’ will probably see them more than once lol I got plenty of friends who I think if they saw ghost in concert that then maybe they’d see the light I have. Love you guys

[@christophermaynard1902]

My first rush show was life changing...ghost has such great positive energy....

[@Alicia66X]

In LOVE with that voice 🖤🖤 he is AMAZING

[@MusicZombieGirl]

Kiss 'Alive' did it for me too. That's way I listen to Ghost today. The magic of classic rock is in Opus & Meloria LP.

[@lisamccoy8516]

I just want to go play pinball and talk music all day with him. So smart, talented and funny. Adore him so much!!

[@hortenciagonzalez9729]

Great interview very rare backstage look at ghost and tobias as always very humbled :)

[@rivermyerss]

I saw these last week. Best night of my life 🖤

[@elizabelthe]

in the confessional; love it

[@pacoloco4030]

He's a huge Kiss fan!! Maybe i'll sell him my collection!

[@lindahoffmann7176]

I wish I could see him next year ;-; imma seriously miss them all

[@AverageCrow]

3:50 - 3:58 omfg the ghoul jumping

[@MusicZombieGirl]

Interviewed at Church, Confession box. Nema.

[@SixSixSatan]

Thank you for not adding stupid french dubs over this interview like most other french media do for whatever reason.

[@joshuadelgado9517]

Love ghost!

[@NEMESISNERON]

Une nouvelle interview. Excellent!~♥

[@infelicitas]

Lol I heard We drink your blood by powerwolf in the first few minutes

[@GhostEnEspanol_]

[@K3ISARI0N]

cumulus and cirrus' vocals are so amazing 😭😭😭😭

[@thedefiant6244]

Ah yes I remember this interview..

[@mikan.1075]

Merci 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@ghosts_ghoul6626]

3:40 remind me of a bunch of clowns getting out of the small cars for sum reason.

[@adonaii3832]

Necesito escuchar esos audios del concierto! Suenan increíbles!!

That suit makes him look like that cricket from Disney

Cool , c'estsous titré en Français !

Anyone else hear Powerwolf in the back?

Indeed!

[@heatherh7834]

Great video 👍

[@fredrick1417]

Nice! You should have way more views.

[@colewilliams6623]

I wonder why he is still masking his appearance? He has done multiple interviews without hiding his appearance.

[@BaileyBaratheon]

That's the whole point of the band

[@Bloody-Roses18]

I think he mentioned not feeling comfortable performing onstage without the mask due to not being that rockstar persona or something like that. I could be wrong.

[@papaisduniyakapapa]

Pulling Off A Slipknot, I Guess

[@acertainsomeonexx]

Idk if you still want to know bc ur comment was 4 years ago lmao, but i believe he once said that some interviews are just set up like that when he gets there :)

[@lloddesruc]

Me encanta!

[@lauriepoo928]

Sexy ass Tobias is the best thing that has ever happened to music!

[@DeeDee-eb6fe]

There is no more reason to hide Tobias' face. Nowadays he shows up often unmasked.

[@HEAVY1TV]

We already explained that previously. This interview was conducted few weeks before he appeared unmasked on French TV. It was his choice to appear behind that curtain, not ours.

[@MusicZombieGirl]

I took it as he was interviewed at Church, Confession box... Nema.

[@carpediem6842]

Same in the case of the current ghouls

[@nancisantos3914]

Gostaria muito de vê-lo cantando no palco sem máscara ainda não consegui associar o Tobias ao personagem 😮😮

[@gasp8961]

This is cool!

[@maraboa6004]

I’ve only been to Marcus and martinus back in 2018

[@Howdy699]

I love Ghost!!!!

[@DeadDeadOnTheBed]

I got so excited just seeing the ghouls 💀

[@stinkfloyd1]

Glad to hear, even if it's just name, a doom fest

[@MHDCGaming]

Is there a full version of the Rats performance available?

[@HEAVY1TV]

Yes, but we are just allowed to use excerpts

[@jakbec3588]

MHDCGaming well, looks like it took place at the download festival in Paris on June 15th... probably could search that in google? Idk. Call me crazy.

[@Klownguy22]

MHDCGaming have you searched KZbin?

[@betobecerra]

Is that show available entirely, somewhere?

[@mihaelajoe8291]

Show this man's face, we all know how he looks like!

[@HEAVY1TV]

We already explained why. Read previous comments.

[@dolarhyde]

lol is he in a confession box?

[@HEAVY1TV]

Indeed! That was the concept, few months before Tobias showed his face on French TV.

[@fluffsail]

Why is he in prison?

[@thehollowseance]

It's a confessional

[@bm8584]

Baby King xD

[@heintjedelosreyes8341]

For sure Metallica had influenced a lot of people....

[@moysg1548]

Is Boel the girl holding his cup?

[@AntoinettexKitten]

I think boel is taller than him

[@edisebastian]

maybe hidden is Tobias, only maybe jaja :P

[@dailyyuriko9928]

Theres a female ghoul

[@ironnads7975]

There are TWO

[@addylovesyou1960]

HAIL SATAN

[@legend53beast63]

Nope

[@MasterNcognito]

Ghost is basically Slipknot if it only consisted of Corey Taylor and several clones of Craig Jones.

[@XadaTen]

The mixing of languages in this video doesn't make sense. Why have the interview in English but have everything else in another language?

[@HEAVY1TV]

We have already answered that question. See previous posts. We are a French media. 8 minutes in english, few seconds written in french (but subtitled in english anyway)

[@chriswright8464]

He is playing with fire with Satan.

[@robertpreston2220]

Hail Satan

[@shallowexistences]

He is the shining and the light without whom I cannot see...

[@Queencthulhu]

Insurrection he's spite, he is the force that made me be!!

[@kuromyou7969]

He is! Nostro dis pater, Nostra Alma mater. He is.

[@aersiul]

The kind of band that make metal look like a joke.

[@shallowexistences]

Life is a joke, you clown

[@NukaEatsPepeni]

People who take life seriously lose a lot of fun.

[@Wyttt95]

aersiul then don’t listen.... that simple... you enjoy things that others may not so why can’t you let others enjoy things that you may not?

[@tubopanderson8106]

Have you ever seen 80's hair metal? This is bland by comparison. Also they play mostly pop rock and some metal here and there. But still FUCKING HAIR METAL WAS A THING.

[@DarkEtherealRhythm]

Oh another triggered elitist. Go say that to Metallica and Iron Maiden then.... or to Kiss, Alice Cooper or any glam band that actually put metal and rock music in history for generations. Joke´s on you.
