If Ghost wrote 'Like a Prayer' by Madonna

[@stevewelsh__]

This track will be out on streaming soon - I’m just piecing together a full album Of covers that is nearly done! 🏄‍♂️

[@Freyjadour108]

Love this one! And it would be great to have the SOAD covers on Spotify. I've been listening to those ones a lot 😊

[@xavierwalko4175]

If Linkin Park wrote Welcome To The Black Parade. Every era of LP merged.

[@MichelleJames-715]

Just found your page, this one is spot on for ghost! What would it sound like for Chris Cornell or Chester to sing Adele Easy on me? 🤔

[@social_lag]

It’s gonna be on spotify? 🥹🙏🏻

[@ZanaDi17]

I'm so excited!!!

[@Mr.Steve530]

What if Madonna sang “Mary on a cross” by Ghost

[@stevewelsh__]

Ohhh yeees pleaseeee 🙂🙂🙂🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@geoffreybrooks1220]

Please do this ^

[@theBroG]

OMG YES lol

[@Darkest_knight46]

This could perfectly pass as an original Ghost song, the lyrics, the voice, the 80's instrumentation and feeling, even the solo, all is perfectly done

[@dorianleakey]

its also the type of thing they would cover if they could add the right video. Though the original video is very good.

[@stevewelsh__]

@@Darkest_knight46 thanks so much, I put loads of effort into every section to make it feel as genuine as possible

[@ManiacClown]

@@stevewelsh__ Seriously, you managed to sound close enough to Tobias Forge that one could genuinely mistake this for him singing.

[@Stickarms99]

@@stevewelsh__ It's clear how much respect and appreciation you have for Ghost's unique style. You replicated it fantastically

[@schneewitschen101]

It’s wild how much the vocals sound like Tobias

[@nigel_saxon]

Now I wish ghost would actually do this song.

[@robertenfield3401]

Same

[@ridetoruin]

Same

[@mellowyello1478]

Madonna rarely licenses or gives permission for ANYONE to use the song. I don't think Tobias could sway her for it but boooooooy I wish too.

[@stevewelsh__]

@@nigel_saxon I would cry

[@ManiacClown]

@@mellowyello1478 She doesn't have to. Weird Al only asks the original artist as a courtesy.

[@avidvideo]

This could 100% pass as Ghost covering Madonna. Every single aspect of it. Beautifully done!

[@axlpuff5017]

Your Tobias impression is SPOT ON. And the composition is perfect too. Always wondered what this song would sound like by Ghost, and this is it. I'd also love to hear If Ghost wrote Bloody Mary

[@dyrr836]

I'm genuinely surprised they haven't actually done this, it seems like such a no brainer considering their other covers.

[@robertwelch3240]

Apparently Madonna won't allow it.🙁

[@skepticalbadger]

@@robertwelch3240 Nonsense. She has no say over covers, nor does any artist.

[@mitchellarnold-hq7df]

@@skepticalbadger it depends who owns the rights to the song. if the artist owns those rights then yes, they absolutely have to give permission to use the song as a cover. if the artist doesn't own the rights, then who ever does (maybe the record label) would have to give permission.

[@DeviantDario]

Ryan Reynolds had to beg her just to use it in Deadpool and Wolverine.

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

The lyrics become 100% ironic when sung by Ghost 😂 but have the same sexual connotations

[@MrNoneskull]

After about 20 seconds, the irony and novelty wear off and are replaced with awe and admiration at a truly awesome cover. Well done.

[@Lycan_Jedi]

I could this totally being a Papa III cover song. Fits his style perfectly.

[@mattisholgersson2273]

Papa IV

[@hawktalon7890]

Saw the title and went "Yeah that makes sense". Clicked. It did indeed make sense and I wasn't disappointed. 10/10. I feel like in some alternate timeline, Ghost actually did cover this.

[@one0nine]

This absolutely SLAPS - I hope Tobias & Co are paying attention. This would get entire stadiums swaying! Beautifully done, man!

[@mr.t0xic100]

The voice is just about spot on. It’s just a hair too consistently high, but the foundational sorta nasally sound is perfect.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Great job man. If that title wasn't already taken, it sounds like it'd be the name of a Ghost tune!

[@troystucke853]

This is honestly one of my favorite of your covers

[@andrewpappas9311]

I fucking love this, I can definitely hear them doing something with this. Great as always, man, keep it up

[@luxagonal]

“We Built This City” by Bleach-era Nirvana. I’d bet good money that Steve could turn this song into gold.

[@garysuarez9614]

Again!

If Soundgarden wrote "Blurred Lines."

Awesome! I think Ghost would've teased us a bit more before starting the chorus but it's THE best impression of Ghost I've seen so far.

[@MrAjax1300]

I need Ghost to do this cover for real. It could fit....honestly a cover album would hit hard

[@mczee2958]

They do have a cover album. It's called Popestar

[@AspelShuyin]

[@SlimevilleKultureClub]

Wow, I've never heard anybody ever get this close to Tobias unique vocals. If he ever needs a backup papa youd be a epic choice lol

[@DeviantDario]

The fact that this has less than 100,000 views under a month bothers me. THIS. IS. AMAZING.

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

This was so good!!! You genuinely sounded like Tobias at certain points, it was so spot on😊

This is awesome. I don't know why more metal bands haven't covered this song.

I'm pretty sure Ghost is only doing a world tour because Tobias saw this and wants an excuse to play it. While adding in inuendos before and after.

Yeah, so I’ve been asking for Ghost to do this cover for YEARS. This is almost exactly how I heard it my head. It’s pretty perfect.
