I don't know if it is because i'm the happiest man alive after seeing rhrn, but he looks so happy and excited, and i love that, he's really enjoying the moment

[@unresponsiblechild15]

Im a 16 year old And I never was so excited in my whole life after seeing rhrn my mom came Along bc she wanted to try my interest and normally she never liked ghost but bc of me I changed her mind so LOVE GHOST

[@stiffzombie1537]

It was incredible. I'm seeing it again tomorrow.

[@s.714]

Saw it last nite. Want to go see it again! Saw them in August 2023 -Utah.. they rocked then but damn, the movie rocked harder. Great editing and Sound mix! Unbelievable. ✌️

[@peugeotfan8634]

He looks also tired, It was hard time for him, but movie is Awesome

[@meganhausman1443]

The cheesy comedy in the movie was KILLING ME. It was so on point and so funny. I was on edge the whole time. Laughing. Crying. In awe. The music was beautiful. The performance was beautiful. The message was beautiful. I’ve been to many rituals but the movie hit home in a different way. It was also refreshing to witness a concert where I didn’t see any phone screens. I know it’s because of the filming but every concert I go to I am always heartbroken at how things have changed through the years and how distant we have made ourselves in these moments. Instead of being present and connecting with the people performing, everyone is too invested in recording the next viral moment or clip they can brag about.

[@crypticreality8484]

Oh God. Crying

[@WaschiTV]

Exactly I think it makes concert even more enjoyable if u don‘t always have to struggle if to Film and more living in the moment! Just listening to and celebrating the music. An brain altering experience for me was my first TOOL concert this week. (where only the last performed song can be filmed)… MAGICAL! :)

[@justtxali5431]

At the show I went to, I was too short cause of the people in front of me and filming it was the ONLY way I was able to see it :(

[@Admiral_John]

Like my sister said, "Any movie that has a dead pope cutting a fart in a box is okay by me." :)

[@ryancerioni8564]

To quote Tobias, "It was better than I thought."

[@moocorp4574]

Rocking the James Hetfield look

[@gabimnsn]

I was looking for this comment lol

[@newhorizons1]

Rite here, rite now was in one word..."AWESOME". It was all I wanted and more. Long live Ghost🤘

[@MikaelsProductions]

Is it a live concert or is it behind The scens?

[@newhorizons1]

@@MikaelsProductions it's the LA concert and a movie. As you haven't seen it I won't give spoilers. I hope you can see it soon via streaming.

[@MidnightCapricorn2696]

I seem yo have found you out in the wild. But yeah RHRN was absolutely amazing, phenomenal, I can't wait for the soundtrack I need that version of Kaisarion it was just way too good

[@newhorizons1]

@@MidnightCapricorn2696 hi hon! When I get the sound track next month we'll here it live again. Fingers crossed it'll come out on Blueray. Then we'll have it forever. 🤘💕

[@MidnightCapricorn2696]

@@newhorizons1 not sure about blu-ray but I'm pretty sure that it may be coming out on dvd

The way he smiled with his eyes when she mentioned the ghouls so sweet 🥹

[@DavidAlastairHayden]

I love Aha!

[@amber5651]

As someone who's never had the chance to go to a concert before, it brought me to tears to be able to see such a fantastic (as always) performance by Ghost in such high quality for such a low price. It really put me through the emotional ringer (in the best way) and it was simply fantastic!!!!!

[@UKSponge360]

The movie was brilliant! Really hoping for a Blu Ray / digital release sometime too!

[@ironnads7975]

They clearly tell you about that on the website. Clear as day

[@Vivianblue.]

I sang and danced my arse off in my seat. Cried a few times, as well as laughed at our goofy lil Papa. It was great, he should feel very proud.

[@sa.t.2507]

Grow up

[@Idiotnamedlily]

@@sa.t.2507Somebody’s mad 😂😂😂

[@trailofdistraction2932]

What an absolute champion! How lucky we are to experience this unique, incredibly original and interesting band at their height. RHRN was fantastic!!

[@DeathFORcameO]

Tobias is starting to evolve into James 😂. Great film.

[@INFERIORMARCH]

He evolved into Willie Adler

[@dubdawson9574]

Slowly going full Lemmy here

[@inkysquid4]

I hope they release this somewhere afterwards, cuz I'd love to see it again. It was great!

[@magdalenavachtova9732]

same here! I have seen it 2 days ago and it was definitely not enough!

[@rexflamingo1037]

I'm literally praying to the old one for a physical release. I must own a tangible copy of this masterpiece 😭

[@philipbassist8255]

Streaming on Disney plus July 8th.

[@ironnads7975]

​@@magdalenavachtova9732clearly tells you on their website about that. Try to figure things out for yourself

[@xthe6]

He wanted it to be great, it was. It was full on for the fans and you can tell. This interview just confirms it. Thats rare so thank you papa!

[@gerrydenis3436]

I admire his creative brilliance. I think that’s what I love the most about Ghost. Ghost is truly unique. Not a copy of anyone or anything. Rock pop metal all mixed together to the theme, the story line, the characters to the hilarious skits and unbelievably tight live performances. Very professional outfit and a very tough act to follow. They are the new iron maiden for me. Ghost is definitely my new favourite band. Keep up the great work Tobias and for papas sake get your ass back to Vancouver eh? 😂

[@dougchilstrom]

What an amazing film - very happy to see more success for Ghost!

[@Necrov4le1]

i loved it! perfect movie and show. can see it as my first ritual and im glad for that opportunity

[@Ash-zq5pz]

I came out of the theatre with the biggest smile 🤩 I got to relive the concert I was lucky to be at! And finally seeing it and with the added lore it was so amazing and fun!!! I loved it sooo much the goofiness and the theatre 💘 thank you so much Tobias for everything 🖤

[@clarissa.m.-.]

Same!! Did you go to night 1 or 2 or both?

[@tsohgallik]

​@@clarissa.m.-. I went on Night 2 Tuesday. Although I was sitting way up on the corner 😅 Sounded much better in person, the pyro and sparks make much better sound in person than through stereo audio 😅

[@clarissa.m.-.]

@@tsohgallik oh nice me too!! Do you know if only night 2 experienced “if you have ghosts” and dancing skeletons? Or was it both nights?

[@tsohgallik]

@@clarissa.m.-. that I wouldn't know. But for sure the setlist was the same

[@ccat333]

And here I am just 8 months after literally hearing them for the first time on YT. Missed their 2023 concerts by just weeks but I'll definitely see them next time around. Saw the movie too. It tied together their short movie episodes and also foretold a few things to come. Great show footage and sound quality!

[@8Anedonia8]

He looks happier....❤ ❤

[@djmelotte8220]

He did an amazing job on that movie. FANTASTIC!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@emilyclark8607]

The film was great! He looks so proud, and rightfully so. ♥️

[@aionanyx4462]

It IS something no one's ever seen/done before, because its creator is unique. ✨💖✨

[@silverbats]

I can not stop raving about this film loved it so much I have seen it twice now and seriously thinking of going once more!!! U can also hear a lot of 80s bands in his style which is awesome and definitely a lot of KISS references! Being a KISS fan myself they stand out! Tobias Forge is a genius master mind!🦇🦇🦇

[@S.therian.2024]

I loved the film very much, it was just perfect, hope you will more soon, thank you Tobias❤

[@matthawkins9983]

I love all GHOST songs!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hammerhead222]

It builds up brilliantly. The end credit song knocks it out of the park. Number three for Nil.

[@MorriganRaven68]

We go see the film in 29 hrs! I'm so EXCITED and I surprised my son with the tickets. :)

[@soisyou5184]

I loved the movie so much!! And the behind the stage moments where so great! The music, the humor, the story made it sooo good! Great job Ghost!!

[@saintsweetsubs]

I can’t believe i got to see him at the premiere

[@TheCityBeneathMusic]

Dude rocking a Venom shirt 🔥🤘🏽

[@UllrT]

One of the big things I love about Ghost, is that once you get past all the silliness, and the stage act, Tobias just has a really decent heart. you see it in his shows, when He thanks the people for coming out, you can feel he means it, and it's not just part of the act... you can tell he really cares about his fans... and that was really evident as well in the movie. GREAT movie, I SINCERELY hope it comes out on DVD. It was definitely better than I expected, and I expected a lot.

[@todds5956]

So cool hearing that voice coming out of him in conversation

[@NS-kk5gr]

OMG the film was so good and Tobias is so cute... how lucky we are!😍

[@kayblossom4662]

The movie was indeed better than I thought it would be! Unbelievable experience, thank you Tobias! Had to go and see it twice, just couldn't help myself

[@BK-fp5li]

An amazing movie that lived up to the hype and changed the way concerts should be filmed and screened.

[@funeralgothatoo5814]

The immersive filming style made me think of the filmed version of Love Never Dies stage musical. It too was filmed in a way unlike other musicals are usually filmed.

[@Equinistah]

RHRN was amazing and I feel so thankful to have been able to see it in a theater, it was a beautiful experience that I will remember all my life.

[@Zabiru-]

Have had the pleasure of seeing them live twice, once at Gröna Lund in Stockholm and once when they supported Metallica in Gothenburg. Of the two, the former was by far superior. Just bought a ticket for the July 1st cinema showing of the film here in Sweden, can't wait :)

[@allandavis9328]

Tobias is the man!!! Love the Venom shirt btw.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

“A Great Wack” should be the title of the next release ❤

[@NeutralGravity]

This is the first movie to bring me back to the theaters in almost 15 years! Really hope they drop a soundtrack and a DVD

[@simplydany2740]

It was amazing being able to relive my first ritual in theaters !😭

[@my_lie-fe]

i didn’t go see it but i had multiple clips pop up on my fyp on Tiktok. i was NOT expecting to hear Rain speak.

[@armandogavilan1815]

Just knew about the band and yes, I don´t care about the "lore" but the show itself was amazing.

[@robertolsson3334]

Wow, it was absolutely great. It made me feel like I was there. Looking forward to the Blue ray release.

[@johnniklarz5512]

Tobias is a genius. What drive he has to make all of us Ghost fans happy with his amazing effort he puts into everything that is Ghost. The huge catalog of great songs they have already and the diversity of the songs. One of the three best things to come out of Sweden Ghost Abba and Swedish Meatballs. Ikea is ok but stuff tends to fall apart lol. I believe that is his wife next to him you can see in the video for a little bit. Thanks Tobias I've been running with my 70s and 80s bands forever because I really haven't found anything after that that I liked only Rammstein and this makes music more exciting and fresh for me again.

[@aaronphillips402]

The movie was so awesome

He’s so damn cool. I love GHOST

[@218nexion]

Venom shirt! Great choice

[@MinerDiner]

I don't know if this is just me getting used to his normal voice as himself-Tobias, and not his stage voice as one of the Papa's, or if he's actually talking an a slightly different register, but I can actually hear the Papa voice in his regular voice in this interview

[@KleberFainer]

Then film was amazing!

Tobias looking like James Hetfield's little brother.

[@fabb2527]

Thinking of going again! It was odd cause no one was singing along or showing any emotion, it was like watching any other movie. I guess we were all too self-conscious to let go lol

[@GhostifiedGhoulishness]

Or, maybe people were afraid of getting too rowdy and being kicked out of the theatre (and missing the movie). The AMC I saw it at (twice) just cranked the sound up nicely. It was almost like being at a Ritual. The whole theatre could've been singing at the same time and you wouldn't have missed a musical note or a spoken word from the movie. Read today that box office records were broken for concert movies. Hah! Probably because fans couldn't get enough of just one screening and went back for more!

[@colinaflorentina]

where can we see the movie online?
