Tobias Forge on The Story of GHOST & How He Likes His Coffee (UNCUT)

[@Drummerjeffkazee]

Finally, someone doing an interview and let's Tobias answer without interrupting.

[@georgiagm]

YES!

[@dawnatilla2469]

Loudwire interview as well

[@inu506]

The interviewer is fantastic. I’m new to the band and it’s the first time I see this interviewer but I like how he seems well informed, manages to respond and converse about things Tobias says, rather than him just reading of questions and sticking to those. His bright smile creates a very open and welcoming atmosphere, which would put me at ease if I had to talk to him. Tobias seems very focused and concentrated so he doesn’t smile as much, but he gives nice answers and it’s great he takes his time to answer

[@the-northern-light]

YEP SO GOOD

[@velvetcumulus]

I love how you address him properly and let him speak, most interviewers have been treating him so disrespectfully. He deserves recognition for the fans he's made and helped, all those people he made happy. I still remember him being adressed as Mr. Ghost and not Tobias or Forge. I felt so frustrated watching the interviews, was always the same questions too.. Glad this one was different, very informative too, good job c:

[@nataliemurphy9239]

Lord knows how many times I've watched now. He's lovely, I can always watch his interviews. Amazing song writer.

[@4o5919]

This guy is the coolest. He literally studies everything. He's not just a musician, he is a detective as well. I have to go look up NECROVORE.

[@SoundwaveSuperior1991]

It’s why I love Tobias and ghost, he does such a great job at making me look up new artists, or rediscover a band or singer I forgot I loved due to it be a kid. I checked out necrovore but it wasn’t my taste which was strange considering I love Dethklok, but I still check out a band I never would have.

[@lanimorris2462]

Latin. History. Politics. Italian. Religion. War. Hate. Love. This man has sent me scurrying to find out what he is writing about. That’s the beauty of art. It expands the heart and mind. Plus he has helped me kick ass playing Jeopardy.

[@inxj5915]

@@lanimorris2462yeah, I’ve learned a lot from looking stuff up from stuff I’ve heard.

[@ellabella6099]

@@lanimorris2462ahhh me too! The reason behind mummy dust was dedicated to “ mammon “ who was a Dominican Priest in the 13th century called Thomas Aquinas who was described as the son of greed . That’s why the fake money comes out at the end ! Or the Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory which the song Elizebeth was about . I have looked up a lot of what he’s written and tried to understand what he means it’s interesting and each song is meaningful for that reason. A great history lesson 😂

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

I will forever appreciate an interviewer who let their guests talk, and who doesn't interrupt very often (if at all). Such a great interview.

[@WillS724]

I LOVE how he thinks before giving an answer unlike others who just drone on and on and spew irrelevant nonsense. He gives off a vibe of high intelligence

[@ellabella6099]

Definitely 💯

[@Scooby2512]

This Tobias dude sounds like a cool dude! He should probably form a band one day.

[@rainghoulmylove]

AWH THAT LIL SMILE AT THE BEGINNING HELPPP

[@Smartass_Jedi]

Ill never get over the fact that Tobias is Swedish, but his English is flawless. If I didnt know I would just guess he's from California. Oh ya, that and he's an all-time visionary genius. Great interview

[@ellabella6099]

His English is superb but I love it when he asks a certain word sometimes and how to pronounce it correctly 😊

[@Ryliarc]

A swedish guy who speaks English but preforms with an Italian accent. He's Mister Worldwide

[@alienproductions9679]

This was a good interview. The question engaged Tobias, a person known to be difficult to interview without a guitar with you. You earned yourself a subscriber for sure.

[@jonthewiggles]

Hey thank you!! Loved chatting with him.

[@BelindaMcNeely1]

In all honesty, Ghost has never ever made a song or an album that I didn't absolutely love and feel amazing about. Tobias Forge is a musical genius. And I want to thank him and everyone evolved in making the magical music happen❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@roa_noah659]

Saw ghost as my first concert a couple of weeks ago and they are amazing

[@wjwwillow]

How and the hell.... Does this channel only have 536 subs? Surely, this man is huge on another platform? His brother plays in the band? I'm missing something🤔 Not only is it mind blowing that a channel this size got the interview but it he absolutely KILLED it!!! And the A/V quality is also top notch. Clearly not this man's first rodeo w/livestreaming/podcasting. Well done, good sir.

[@jonthewiggles]

Thank you!! I did a lot of interviews at Rolling Stone, and I upload them here from time to time- looking to get my own studio setup soon though and do more rock/metal/alt artist interviews. Stick around for more coming!

[@michaelwirth6843]

This is a clever guy.

[@xxHIMfanxoxo]

This was such a fantastic interview. Some really great questions and insight into such a wonderful band!

[@createmyhell]

Exactly. I would say, the best interview with Tobias Forge I've watched on yt, congrats on great work!

[@PodChklilpp339]

22:45 hes so funny please I loved this interview beacuse u can tell maybe that Jon didn t just do reaerch hes like a fan too probably (Plus he had like a live hcat asking questions) so its super stasfying considering other sort ask the same question in differnet interviews

[@torjlou]

I LOVE this interview because you let him talk!

I think you should be the only one to interview Tobias! This interview was done beautifully! You were so kind and gracious to Tobias and this interview was so enjoyable and the questions were so entertaining!! Thank you for this!!!❤❤❤

[@d_tilla]

This is how to interview an artist

[@LittlePumpkinGhost]

Amazing interview! Really good questions, the attention to details and the intention to engage with Tobias' answers is much appreciated. Theres very few interviews where Tobias seems to truly enjoy the presence of the interviewer and, fewer ones where he jokes and laughs as authentically as we see here. Don't get me wrong, Tobias is a funny guy, but here the jokes seem a little bit more directed to Jon rather than to whoever's watching and that's 100% because of Jon's questions and his ability to make the other person feel comfortable and heard.

[@tillyfromthecrypt7571]

This is how interviews should be done! Great job, Tobias has such a magnificent mind! 😮

[@contrakt0r]

54:02 is exactly what I had with Ghost. I tried listening early on and it never clicked for me. Then one day I tried again and the light bulb went on. Great interview (even if I'm 2yrs late to it!) - you asked some really interesting questions.

Kids temp 😂 That's brilliant. Finally someone that takes their coffee the same as me. Tip though, ask for your normal coffee and a small cup of ice separately. Then add a couple of cubes to your liking. I get some strange looks 😂 Fantastic interview, great questions and a great vibe.
