Tobias is so wholesome, he always tells people not to mosh or crowd surf at his performances because he’s worried about the kids and smaller people getting hurt.

-"Come together" Vin- *aprove headbang* -"Together as one" Vin- *Nice* -"Come Together" Vin- *yeah* -"For Lucifer's son" Vin- *NOPE*

"why are ghost fans into ghost so much?" It's some good shit.

Not a Ghost fan but shout out to Ghost for paying tribute and raising money for the family of Jeffery Fortune who passed away at one of their shows. Much respect ✊

An interesting bit of trivia about this album. They recorded the bulk of it at a studio in Nashville, but couldn’t get any local choirs to participate. The guys that came to the Nashville sessions flat-Out refused to sing the lyrics, so the band had to find a choir willing to do such blasphemous words, which they found in LA.

Ghost - JIGOLO HAR MEGIDDO I'm still the most curious about your reaction to that one

The energy at a Ghost concert is... unique, to say the least. You won't really find moshing or crowd surfing (outside of festival crowds and the odd attempt that gets shut down). What you will find is an unbelievably welcoming, supportive and all-ages crowd. I met a couple that brought their 5-year old, a few older kids and more than a few people old enough to be my parents, all in the pit. All there for the same thing - a great time at a great show. A fair few of their songs, in one way or another are about acceptance and togetherness, and for the most part the fanbase is (almost) sickeningly wholesome and embodies those ideals. If you show up alone at a show, and aren't silent, odds are you'll make friends in line/the pit, and end up in one of the various online fan communities for the band as well. An example of how the crowds are, bonus serenading of someone that, at most other bands' shows, wouldn't likely be in the pit. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcdph8-Bls_GdXk.html As for the layered vocals/choir stuff... yes Tobias layers his vocals (particularly on their older albums), he did enlist the assistance of a choir for a few songs, and currently his backing musicians (the nameless ghouls), provide additional harmonies/backing vocals that in the past would have been assisted with backing tracks. They've really upped their live game alot with the addition of more ghouls, particularly in the harmony department and overall presence on stage. Vin you're right about the whole double entendre and layered messages in a lot of their songs, this one is no exception. As noted elsewhere, he does pretty blatantly spell out what the song is about before the song in the live shows. Not always as long-winded as this one, but worth a watch. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erWajbx_ztiog2w.html

Ghuleh zombie queen- Ghost Mirror mirror - candlemass

I was just at a ghost show. Lots of regular people, plenty of older folk, and more kids then I could count.

"The lady revealed of cloak..." Refers to a woman entering a ritual in which Satan impregnates her with "Lucifer's son". "Come to together" refers to a cult or devil worshipper's witnessing this ritual in which the son of Satan is set free on earth...this song always reminded me of the movie Rosemary's baby which is basically about the same thing

My daughter saw Ghost 3 nights in one week recently (Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago). She says it's nothing like any other metal show she's been to.

Live shows are...spiritually interactive? Papa/Copia/Forge has a charming stage presence and engages with the crowd in an assortment of entertaining ways. They really do a good job of creating that same sort of community vibe that people get from church, while still bringing the sex and drugs and rock and roll kind of swagger. This song closes the show and the swaying and singing along as one giant chorus is beautiful to witness. I would say the repetition in a number of their songs is deliberate, and meant for live shows, to allow for singalongs.

You should have seen the Hellfest live version where like 30 kids were singing on stage with them. "Cum together for Lucifer's son!" They always close their shows with this song - hence the repetitiveness (the crowd keeps singing long after they left the stage)

"Gregorian chants which we invented btw" Don't throw stones Vin. We know the church did it's fair share of "borrowing" as well ;)

That reaction to Lucifer's Son made me instantly crack up lol I was waiting to see what the reaction would be Edit: As a ghost fan I've been to 3 shows in the last couple years and honestly everyone has always been really chill. There's an energy of almost reverence or rapture like a metal/rock church. Idk if that makes sense but it's the best way I can describe it. One of those things you have to experience with an open mind to understand.

I cannot put into words how much I love this song ... or I guess I can because here we go; It's the perfect combination and amalgamation of instruments you don't typically hear in metal/hard rock music, it's the melodies and harmonies, it's the tempo, it's Tobias' beautiful voice alongside the choir, it's the reverb on the vocals that weirdly adds a massive layer of power to the performance, and it's the dark and uplifting soundscapes and moods meeting, colliding, and coming together as one.

I was just at Ghost Last night in Los Angeles. Badass as usual, and remember Vin says don’t ring the devils doorbell

Another terrific reaction! The crowd at a Ghost show would surprise you as well! This song closes every show, with a huge sing along! Tobias always introduces this song as “...and ode to the female orgasm.” I hope you guys get a chance to see a show in person. I think it would really surprise you. They’re so fun! There is a huge sense of community among Ghost fans...and I can’t explain it either. I’m a 48 year old catholic, and I love the satire built into their shows and music.

I just wanted to say that I was introduced to Ghost via your channel last month. It’s because of you guys that Ghost is now currently my favorite band and Im going to my first Ghost concert in December. Thanks! This song is one of three songs that hooked me!

Finally! Been waiting forever for this review.

I’ve been to 5 Ghost shows and the crowd is just amazing. The togetherness and the comradery is amazing. It’s definitely like a family to be a fan.

Love it man! Looking forward to the next fireside.

I know you've already done so many Ghost songs, but you NEED to do Secular Haze, preferably the official video, it's from their second album and it has a really special vibe to it. The first time I watched it I got such a chilling emotion, it freaked me out more than any horror movie I've seen (though back then there was a lot of mystery surrounding ghost) Looking forward to it! love your videos guys.

This song is about a black mass where a naked woman is on the altar...energy is raised in the room and the energy from orgasms is aimed at whatever the’ minds aligned ‘ is trying to achieve. That’s basic magical workings.

The energy and the crowd are wholesome and caring. They're there to enjoy music, not ruin everyone's time. It's a family

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can tell you why I love Ghost so much. They are all about the spirit of rebellion and being who you are. They drape their songs in the imagery of Satanic ritual and the Church, but the songs are completely about acceptance and taking power for yourself over the institutions that would oppress you.

Bathory - Oden Rides Over Nordland/A Fine Day to Die

It sounds pretty awesome live too with a whole theater singing along. Just saw them last week and they are an awesome live show. Everyone is so nice and it was like a huge party. I highly suggest seeing them live.

I just saw Ghost in concert last week funny enough. Been wanting to forever and they finally came to my town. They exuded alot of energy while remaining mysterious. The show was fun, dark, sad, and hilarious. It was great. You guys need to see it

I'm a "Ghost Fan" as you put it, but not to the point of obsession. To be honest, at first i was afraid to listen to their music because of all the satanic references. I think the loyalty comes from the fact that this is essentially the only new Rock Band to make it into the main stream... plus they have that Black Sabbath/Blue Oyster Cult throwback sound. I wouldn't consider myself rabid... It's just nice to have good music that isn't screaming in my ear. I recognize the uniqueness of this, and how we're probably never going to get another band like this again, so we're sort of witnessing history. It was like what Vin said in another video... when Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana would come on MTV, he would skip it because he didn't know he was witnessing something legendary... and that's the way it always goes. We never know the legacy until after the fact. I'm simply basking in it now. Plus, I do have an interest in Lucifer. I'd be lying if I didn't say that. You hear all this folklore around him, and the fact that they call him the bringer of light, the one who guides the lost... It's interesting to mull that over in my head. About as interesting as mulling over the concept of Jesus. I'd talk to Lucifer if he'd give me the time of day because I'd like to know his point of view on everything, from the fall, to what he's up to now. What he could do for me, and what that would mean. I also at the same time am attracted to christianity now because of you two folk, and want to explore that too. Lots of mixed emotions on that front. Also are you saying that masterbation is bad? Not every ejaculation needs a name, you know?

Glad the both of you enjoyed this one! A few recommendations I have for the next installment of Ghost would be Stand By Him Satan Prayer Idolatrine Dues In Absentia Spirit

FYI Vin is correct: it's the thing used to show the host to the crowd. "Monstrance" comes from latin "monstrare", which means "to show".

Great job guys!

@VinAnd Sori Fun fact. They recorded this album in Tennessee. The choir parts had to be recorded elsewhere because when Tobias asked a choir to record the parts in Tennessee the leader of said choir cried after reading the parts they would sing.

Bathory - Oden's Ride Over Nordland/A Fine Day to Die IMPORTANT: There are videos that include both of them but do not be fooled by the video with HQ in the title (it's a lie!), go for the other one instead, it’s better!!

12:53 Yes! You two should attend a Ghost show. I saw them live twice last week in CA and the level of energy was awesome. The Cardinal (Papa) has showmanship and a lot of personality in between songs. Not just a music concert, it was theatrical, majestic and funny.

Awesome video as always! Love this channel!! U guys gotta do some Portal....any song.

I went to their concert in San Bernardino back in Sept. of 2019. I went by myself and I met this father and son who had the biggest bond over metal in general. They told me stories about the first ever woodstook festival and how they’ve seen at least all the old school metal bands at least one. As I went into the actual venue, I met this brother sister who were wayyyyy bigger ghost fans than I was. All in all it never felt like I went alone. Everyone is so welcoming and not afraid to support your opinion. The concert was absolutely amazing the best concert I’ve ever been to so far. Definitely will be going to a lot more.

Great vid guys 👍

Going to see these guys tonight in Vegas

You really should react to some Ghost live videos!

Thank you... Finally.

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis. One of the heaviest bands in the universe.

Ghost shows are unique seen them a couple times. Probably the best most enjoyable shows I’ve seen. Tobias has a fantastic interaction with the crowd and it seems to bring the crowd with him. Hope you get a chance to enjoy them well live worth it.

I've been to many concerts and nothing was like a Ghost show atmosphere. This song is great live. Hearing everyone sing the ending together.

Portal - Curtain Imperial Triumphant - Swarming Opulence Carcass - Heartwork

Just went to their show on Friday. It was beautiful. Peaceful. And full of love.

Very interesting take on the song guys.

Anthrax - Keep it in the Family, In My World, Indians, Inside Out and What Doesn't Die

Well you should attend a Ghost show, very entertain show, have been in 2 shows and loved it 👍 looking forward for the next time I see then live again.

You guys are great, I love how passionate you are about Ghost! This song isn't LITERALLY about creating Lucifer's son/ the Antichrist; it fits into the "plot" of the album Infestissumam. Each Ghost album tells a story, and the story of Infestissumam is a dark, lascivious figure coming to earth to seduce and impregnate women and bring forth the apocalypse. Their albums are similar to old school horror movies like The Exorcist or The Omen, the creators of those movies don't REALLY want demons or the devil walking among the earth but it is fun to tell the story and feel that thrill of being scared. Monstrance Clock in particular is kind of like a satire on how not too long ago (and even in some communities today), rock music is considered the music of the devil, and also how many, many years ago (an unfortunately in some communities still today), women's sexuality was viewed as evil and of the devil (a very sad and unhealthy belief that has caused a lot of damage to the psyche of many women throughout history). Tobias sings about a Monstrance Clock because clocks sway back and forth, they have a rhythm. How do most people achieve orgasm? By either swaying or rubbing back and forth, like the pendulum of a clock. And Ghost concerts, also called "rituals", are really great! I hope you can make it to one some day! Anyways, I think you guys are great! Sori, you are adorable! I'm sorry if other Ghost fans have given you a hard time. I appreciate that you both have an open mind when it comes to music that others might immediately turn away from. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy it when you review Ghost!

Just went to my first Ghost show on Saturday! It was the most polite, friendly concert crowd I've ever been to, and the energy was great! The band was amazing. I'm still not sure why I'm so obsessed either, but if you have questions that would help me figure that out, I'd love to hear them!

You guys should check Tobias ex-band called REPUGNANT. It was a death metal band far from what he actually does in Ghost. It could be interesting to review.

Monstrance Clock (mirror clock) is about some kind of black mass... and sex😏

Hey Vin and Sori... I just saw my 4th Ghost Ritual live in Vegas on Sat night and the show was nothing short of spectacular!! I was able to get in the crowd up close to the stage. The energy of the crowd was intense but it was pure joy! It was like a religious experience for us fans. The crowd was young and old, everyone was cool and easy going. No moshing or pushing. Everyone sang their asses off throughout the whole show! It was an amazing production and sound was excellent. Cardinal Copia (Tobias) was so funny. He does these talks that are hysterical just to prove they arnt serious. He wants us to be happy and feel joy at his shows. I am over 50 and I adore this band. Best thing to happen to rock music in many years! You guys should go see them. You will totally trip out at how awesome they are and how cool and diverse the crowd is. Thank you for reacting un-biased all these great Ghost songs... Now to do either "Witch Image" or "Dance Macabre." Keep rocking!!! \m/\m/ I love you guys!!

*GHOST FIRST ALBUM-LUCIFER SECOND ALBUM- LUCIFER'S SON THIRD ALBUM - DEUS IN ABSENTIA FOUR ALBUM- PREQUELLE IS THE BEGINNING. this is the tematic of the band, tell a history about satan*

Went to see them back in October. The show was the probably the best I've been too. They put on an amazing show.

I'm going to see GHOST December 15 in Brooklyn, NY at the Barclays Center. Please come to the show!!! It would be great to hang out and talk to you guys!

Again, it's really fun watching you two break down Ghost songs. As an atheist (but a generally good person, I like to think), I approach all of this as lore. It can be entertaining, insightful, both, or neither. I find Ghost incredibly entertaining, and your take on their music to be entertaining and insightful. Kudos. Also, regarding Ghost live - I just went to my first "ritual" on Nov 16th (their biggest headlining show to date!) and it was amazing. Kids, adults, rockers, prog fans, pop fans, even some folks that were clearly just into the theatre of the whole experience. There's a TON of humor, positive messaging, and even self-effacing gags in their show. Their appeal wouldn't be so broad if they really came across as evil - it's more a humorous commentary on the cliches of religion and society at large (check out "Mummy Dust" for a tune about Mammon) within the frame of a hugely entertaining rock show. It's gorgeous.

I went just recently to a show I have pics and vids it was so great the energy was intense you would have enjoyed it...his interaction with the crowd to his singing he sounds so great live let me know I can send you pics and vids

Saw them live for the first time on November 10th in Phoenix Arizona. I really enjoyed the live show. It was like no other show I've experienced. Even my wife who wasn't really familiar with the band Ghost said it was literally the best live show she had ever seen. Very entertaining and funny.

You guys are great, you are very open mind, I’ve known some Christian people who never ever would do what you do, so I admire what you do and I like your content. Your content is very enriching! At least for me and is very interesting how you can like Ghost also even when you are Christians, I’m a Ghost fan and I feel you enrich my mom mind, I’m very happy with that, thanks ;)

Love his voice!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I've been to couple of their shows and i'd say the overall energy is feel-good? even with the dark stage show & masks the music itself is so light and groovy that it presents in a really positive way so much so that when i saw them at Download 2012 i was in shock at how much pure joy they managed to stir in me (i wasn't even there to listen to them, we were sat on the festivals grass and I HAD to get up and go watch them properly because they had me enthralled.) So i recommend for sure!

I just saw Ghost yesterday at the Forum. Great show ! This song is about women’s menstrual cycle.

Ghost shows are the absolute best. They sound incredible live, especially the instruments. I'd highly recommend seeing them at least once. I first heard them when they opened for Avenged Sevenfold several years ago, and I've been hooked ever since.

Lmfao I was waiting for it 😂 after the come together as one part 😂 lol

I'm glad you arent a super closed minded Christian and can enjoy the music for what it is. Great video guys

I like how vin was getting into the song until lucifer's son part hahaha. Love you guys.

Seeing these guys tonight!! Hard Rock! Las Vegas!

You are smart Vin, i would even pay to sit with and chat with you,while having a red bull or a pepsi lol

The mostrance clock was a time device used in Roman Catholic ritual, to keep the rhythm of the ritual, you can hear it in the song "Deus in Absentia".

*Vin headbanging.* *Stops* Nope. HAHA!

I've been watching your Ghost reaction videos lately and today I decided to comment following the question "what makes Ghost's fan tick?": Well, in my case I heard of Ghost through the Internet or saw pictures and thought immediately they'd be a Black/Death metal band or whatever and never bothered to listen to their music until january of this year, and boy: wish I listened to them way before... better late than never I guess. Anyways, when I heard that they were nothing like I pictured them judging by their theatrics, I immediately fell in love with their 70s-80s sound, catchy rhythms and outstanding musicianship and lyricism. Even more when I discovered that all was done by Tobias Forge. And on top of that, don't know if because I discovered them in a very bad/low moment of my life but their music "touches my soul" and makes me feel like I've found enlightenment in a religious way, although I'm neither christian or satanic. Going to see them next week here in Spain, pretty pumped about it.

Ive never actually had a discussion in politics or religion without heated arguements from the other person. Not many people can discuss those 2 subjects subjectively. Thanks you 2.

I really enjoy your videos - especially to the Ghost ones. I used to be a Christian myself (went to a Christian Boarding School, did missionary work, etc.) but have since changed my views on religion and belief as a whole. I started watching your videos expecting to see outrage and criticism, but to find that you like Ghost songs and give intelligent breakdowns and interpretations has really given me more perspective into how I translate the song meanings for myself - and I really just like the conversations and interaction between you two. Thank you for that. I don't know if you have yet, but you really should see a Ghost show live. The crowds aren't aggressive at all and both times I've seen them, I've met some of the nicest people. Not to mention, they put on a spectacular performance (you should see the video of this song live at Hellfest on KZfaq). Thanks for all you're doing and just wanted to let you know I appreciate you both!

Bolt Thrower - When Cannons Fade Honourable Mention to Bathory - A Fine Day To Die

Been waiting for this for so long!!! Also watching this with 666 views... coincidence?!

Little by little Vin is becoming a fan lol

If ghost comes to perform in a town near you.. you should definitely go!

im 57 and saw them last sunday at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater FL. Started to get into them when they released their latest album this year. There was kids there too. Ghost has found a way to appeal to other age groups. Cardinal Copia (Tobias) delivered. This band in running on all cylinders. incredible show. Tobias says this song about the female orgasm in the name of the devil.

Ghost is on tour, ma' dood. Going to see them in Atlanta on 11/30

Jesus used to keep sinners close and kept temptation close. With that same logic, as long as you can see the good in ghost and value them for their good music, there’s no reason you as a Christian can’t listen to ghost without falling to any satanic temptation.

Vin doesn't like Lucifer's son? But he's a sweet boy! He didn't do anything wrong, he's dad just parties hard sometimes :(

I swear i wish yous guys could react to the videos on here because I would have loved to see your reaction to the "Confessions" part of the videos at the beginning!!

am i the only one who loves the way Tobias drags out the end of the last chorus...no one else? uh...okay

Oh my God! It's so annoying seeing the coments and just get request after request! What happened? Where are the discussions or opinions about the song or the video itself? Get it together people!

I'd love to know your opinion on this not pleasuring yourself thing you mentioned. There are some people who can't have relationships, (those with certain physical or mental disabilities for example). Do they not still have desire? Do they not still have those urges of self love? Would it be classed as sinful for them to, you know, sort themselves out? I'm sure jesus bashed one out every now and then.

Time for more Clutch!

A Ghost concert is AMAZING, saw them in Las Vegas on the 17th of November.

I just did some research of this song. Monstrance Clocks were common during the Renaissance Era, these clocks used for church rituals especially Catholics. Here that I can understand why both of you will not saying the chant. "Lucifer's Son" during sermon like lyric. As founder of Ghost, Tobias Forge (singer) stated about the band's themes. Band satirized organized religions especially Catholics in their songs. This song is like their other song, "He Is" - don't know both of you reacted to that song yet. "He Is" - newest video showing Papa (Tobias) being like a Southern Evangelist Pastor doing the "healing" at a church & baptizing young women at a nearly lake. This video is kinda funny to me because I am raised as a Southern Baptist knowing after the explanation from Forge let me know it is all a satire.

I'm a Ghost fan and I enjoy your reaction videos. You guys would enjoy going to a Ghost concert. I just took my wife to her first ritual (Concert) at The Forum on the 16th of this month and it was amazing. The speech Tobias gave to the crowed about the struggles of life and pushing through that, truly did touch many fans there that night. It was a beautiful speech which made several fans there that night shed a tear, and my wife being one of them. About Ghost fans, I've met several of them at their shows and online (Instagram), and let me tell you, we are a tight community who try to help each other out. Just two days ago, we all started a GoFundMe page for a Ghost fan to be able to go to her first Ghost fan after having a car accident and being unable to pay for it herself. The whole fan community came together and helped that girl out to go to her first ritual. I personally don't know how many other fans would do that but from what I can say, Ghost has great fans and I'm proud to be a part of a great fan base. Please Vin and Sori, go check out Ghost live. You guys would like their performances and their whole vibe live. Wouldn't be surprised you guys would become Ghost fans after a show. Give it a shot guys. Plus, they always play "Monstrance Clock" as their closing song for all their shows. A nice way to end a night of fun by telling people to go home and give each other orgasms let it be by themselves or with their significant other. If you guys do go to one of their shows, please record your experience. The tour ends on Dec 15th, check them out. You won't regret it.

There's an article in forbes magazine from today with tobias, talking about the shows and what he envisioned those show to be like. They are playing some big arenas soon too, and tobias states it was difficult to take the theatre show into a big arena, but that he loves being able to make that happen. You both should definitely catch a show sometime.

I just saw Ghost for the 1st time here in Indy a couple weeks ago. Amazing show. They usually play theaters, instead of big rooms. Relatively more laid back vibe. A lot of the songs they played have great crowd participation. You kinda get that old arena rock vibe. Almost 3hr show. They give you your money's worth. You should definitely go see them.

Saw them when the were on tour with Iron Maiden. Put on a great show. Really good live.

During the live shows, this is usually their final song. The singer usually gives a talk about the female orgasm being forbidden according to the bible (I have no idea if this is a fact), so they created this song about this subject

Good choice guys - thanks for listening to the viewers What makes Ghost fans tick? - Well for me, I find them refreshing, a nod to sounds and influences of the past not often heard now in modern music ... but above all I appreciate the time Tobias has taken to create very consistent well thought out, theatrical entertainment, You don't see much theater these days in music, and I think that sense of story, tongue in cheek fun, engagement with the crowd, humour, great songs that people love to listen to, and a sound that is all their own that still proudly wears it's influences on its sleeve .... For me it goes a lot deeper than faux-satanism :)

To answer you question, going to a ghost show is pretty amazing. It's really theatrical, they had a full choir on stage for monstrance clock

I'm not gonna lie i really like when vin use spanish words djgjk greetings from chile c;

Y'all finally listen to a song I recommended lol. One of my favorites.
