Interview with Tobias Forge from Ghost (pt. 2) on Protests, Inspiration

[@LordOfTheRings897]

I love how direct he is and blunt and intelligent. It makes me proud to be a fan of his music.

[@biebjansen472]

It's hard to imagine that this eloquent/well spoken, calm, very down to earth, polite (bordering on humble), man transforms -on stage- into this very flashy show-off that is Cardinal Copia. 😁 Fascinating!

[@siljespurkeland6239]

It really is! I still can't imagine it really. I wouldn't expect him to be like this "in real life". He is soo..normal? And very cute:-P

[@fisherkalastaja]

an intellectual person being a rock/pop musician. What a rarity. He goes his own path never relying on anyone else, not as a band nor human. He had a vision and he made it real. Great guy! Go Tobias! Ghost rules!

[@EBSchorn]

Intelligence is the most appreciable quality of a human being! It concerns him

Não consigo identificar toda a desqualificado atribuída a Tobias por seus ex integrantes de Ghost em contrapartida com tantas qualidades ditas aqui nos comentários

[@staceynoir1988]

My partner was lucky enough to work stage crew for ghost in Leeds , England and it was the greatest shift of his life . He was honoured to do it

[@PaleGirl]

05:57 The carefully ignored fart was priceless XD Tobias really thinks about his answers and succinctly explains his meaning in a way which is refreshing. And incredible considering English is not his first language!

[@jebryth]

Oh god.....

[@nitaxxvi]

Was it a fart??? Help

I think it was his voice but idk mayb

Dude that was some kind of other ambient noise, maybe a chair on the floor like a pp mentioned. Have any of yall ever heard a real fart? Lol never thought I'd ask that question online but here we are lol

[@cutterslegacy]

Tobias is doing so well being patient with this interviewer! Lol

[@vader618]

“Somewhere in America” meaning the South 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m from Texas and I love Ghost

[@cato7778]

He's so polite when discussing others

[@thedangler1371]

This guy and his band ghost will crush any American country band in a second. His influences of horror movies I can relate to. Country and rap is what stupid America loves. A true talent is ghost and I push this band on everyone!

[@TheEndIsMan392]

I LOOOOVE Ghost....I love Dance Macabre !!! His voice is amazing and Tobias himself is very well spoken, he puts alot of thought and effort into getting his point across. Inspirational, to say the least..

[@thedangler1371]

Faith no more sweatshirt said it all! A super talented band in America that didn’t get the recognition they deserve

[@jacobthomas2616]

Tobias just seems so pure and honest!

[@laurenw.8178]

I love Tobias and the way he speaks/words his answers so honestly. ❤

[@jake6112]

Wow. Tobias provides an exceptional demonstration of the change in the metal scene in the last 5-10 years at the end and the interviewer just goes, "very interesting" and closes the interview.

[@snochicka]

Interviewer was probably a fan of “screamo”. 🤣

[@Nabo42]

That bit about the stage hands it really sad and disappointing. If it makes anyone not from the US feel any better about the southern states, I'm from Texas and drove 3 hours to watch Ghost play in Oklahoma, and they got a lot of love from those of us in the audience. There are plenty of goofballs in the states, but there are still a lot of us who aren't like that (I'm a Christian btw, lol).

[@SherryLeeMalin]

I would love to see Ghost and Alice Cooper do a tour together someday. It would definitely be a celebration for me to see my two favorite bands together. ❤

[@cgscprspecialist3937]

Wow a free thinker, a leader who understands that it is about a good time, I have always thought that christianity was about punishment and sadness "Jesus " won't love you, I have been a practicing spiritualist for many years.

[@HeatherGreenjsyk]

Eastern Christianity has a different take on sin than the Western one (ancestral sin as opposed to original sin). Its enlightening.

[@yensid4294]

It's kind of wild that Ghost can tour in Catholic European countries like Spain & France without a problem & also Latin America which is predominantly Catholic but they can't tour in Asia & get protested in certain regions of the US (which isn't Catholic majority )

[@GiveUsMusic]

This is what separates elitism from genuinely interactive discussion, despite the sensationalist Q/A

We need to free the bonds of the enslaved by oranized religion we are free beings Tobias speaks real truth not the false truth conveyed by christianised religion. I love this band they are the source of my strength and truth to my views bring on the lightbringer

[@retrokittycat8645]

Hearing the beginning makes me happy that I've been dressing up as Ghost characters. I live in the Deep South😂 #represent😈

[@Drummerjeffkazee]

Being a Christian there are certain things I don't like about ghost "certain lyrics" BUT I love their music. Tobias is a musical genius! I love how their music is well rounded and not just one genre. I love the heavy and really love the poppy stuff. Also, Tobias is very friendly, smart and treats everyone with courtesy, especially the kids. He also has a wonderful voice. I'll be seeing them in August 2023 in Cincinnati. Rock on Tobias 🤘

[@mycat5663]

I'm a Christian as well and definitely get your point about those lyrics. I gotta add that I' ve been able to distance myself from these. I dig the vibe but don't take it personally because I just don't share the same spirituality but I do share the same fun and enthusiasm. And that's what should be the most important thing, right? I'm just glad to see other Christians enjoying their awesome work!

[@stananderson4524]

I don't pay attention to the dark themes. It is all just theater. Having seen interviews with Tobias. I think the last thing he is trying to do is convert people or selling blasphomy. As a young kid, I use to love old horrer movies- Lon Cnaey, Bela Lugosy, Claud Raines, early black and white horrer movies (I am in my 60s). I find there music and definitely is very reminiscent of that.

[@joeybrown9550]

His English is amazing.

What's up with the dude interviewing, is it his first time doing this cause he doesn't seem to know what he wants to ask

[@pillsareyummy]

I think he owed Tobias money for the cocaine and whores.

[@igorilic5099]

Could be that heknows exactly what he is doing. Just look at the briliant anwsers he left space for Tobias fo create

[@TECfan1]

I keep seeing that the questions are stupid in the comments but everything Tobias says in this is fascinating. Really gives a good insight into his personal morals and ideas of the bands purposes.

"That thank fuck is over now was that screamo bullshit"

[@rockfan243]

What I don't get about those stage hands that all called out sice. If they don't like ghost and think what they're doing is wrong, why bother taking the job? Was it to intentionally ruin the show? If so that just makes them mean people.

[@annamariepowell9162]

They probably work for the venue all year doing events, so it's not just the Ghost gig.

[@TomTremayne]

I love Ghost but let's get one thing straight - they're not Satanists & they're not even scary. True story.....when they played at the London Palladium ages ago, we hung-around outside, afterwards their guitarist emerged & we practically made him cry. He was having some sort of argument with his English or American girlfriend, a few of us laughed & he went fucking mad, virtually bursting in to tears. It wasn't this guy in this interview, it was the one who looks like the racing driver, Sebastian Vettel. Anyway, as an aside, they also had 'Pappa Johns Pizza' delivered to the dressing rooms via the backdoor, which I thought was funny considering the whole 'Papa Emeritus' schtick but yeah they were good live & I like them a lot, but they're not satanists!.

[@ifyouhaveghosts6]

That sounds mean…Don't do that.

[@gabrielle5425]

Tobias recognized himself in Satanism & built this band around that.

[@akshay5295]

I don't think they will have any problem playing in India

[@akshay5295]

@Ghoulette of Ghost BC it may not make economical sense for them somce they won't be able to make big money in India if they arent well known. But if they want to play a show once in a while like the old days when they were underground and feel that again, being able to interact with people in the audience and play small venues, India is a good place. Mumbai, Delhi, big cities where there are good venue facilities and people more exposed to Western life. They could play at a hard rock cafe !

[@rickr2029]

You know he is a great guy and well spoken. I have to remind myself that he is not from America. Having said that, his pauses get a little annoying. I mean these questions he is hit with, probably gets all the time. The questions are not that deep and the responses should be quicker and more decisive.

[@Jobee2966]

Rick R He takes his time because he cares and is considerate about how his message received by people. He also doesn’t always answer the same way to the same questions, he always gives a little bit more each time further then the last time he was asked. He’s complex and it’s refreshing to listen to someone that speaks as he does in interviews. I guess if you miss the typical braggart no substance entertainer watch a Kanye interview? people should breathe in between words though Lol air is important

[@rickr2029]

@@Jobee2966 I do not see anywhere in my statements that I would miss, let alone enjoy, listening to someone lacking in substance and carry on by bragging. I gave Tobias his due and I hope you didn't "miss" that. I find Tobias also refreshing to listen to apart from the long drawn out pauses. Many. MANY times I am waiting to hear the answer that I knew was coming because I've heard it before. I disagree that the answers evolve. And if so, very little.

[@juliegogola4647]

Rick, you seem cranky, maybe you need a nap? Tobias is NOT pausing too long, he is just thinking about his replies before making them. IF you don't like it why are you here listening to it?

You can just tell that everything he is saying is from HIM and not written notes on what to say. Hes a real person and obviously doesnt want to speak out of turn and offend people.
