Tobias is such a genius. Not only that he is so extremely well-spoken. He’s a great and super skilled musician, a talented actor and a very creative person. And he speaks English soooo well.

He had the Star Wars Empire symbol on his right shoulder and an Iron Maiden shirt. He seems like a nerd that is way too cool to be called one.

need a man who looks at me the way graham looks at tobias 😪✊🏻

Definitely deserved. Ghost started in 2010 and in the past 9 years went from playing small gigs to large arenas. They put out 4 great and diverse albums. Received 3 Grammy nominations and won for Cirice. Years ago I watched the music video for Secular Haze and immediately fell in love with the old school sound and melodic vocals. Ghost is my favorite modern band. With so many legends getting old, dying or going on farewell tours, we need newer bands to carry the torch. More people should respect the past and embrace the future.

I love that Graham lets Tobias speak without interrupting like so many other interviewers. We adore and follow Ghost because no two of their songs sound alike. Ghost's discography is the only one my family and I consistently shuffle and it never gets old.

Tobias eyebrows during the whole interview: ~~

Graham is fanboying so hard in this video.

Forge is a brilliant composer, performer, and master of stagecraft, and has a three dimensional business sense AND a solid work ethic. The whole package.

I can't stop laughing at Graham's expression while Forge is talking. Lol. He's obviously loving this, and it's fun to see. He has a wonderful job, and over the years I've become a fan of Graham as an interviewer, in the same way I'm a fan of Tobias as a creator. He's good at what he does.

I cannot see this man as the Papas or Cardinal. Talk about switch in personalities

Thanks Graham for letting Tobias give his complete answers without cutting him off. Much appreciated.

I sometimes think about how much I would have loved to grow up with Ozzy or Maiden being the "new shit", but then I remember that I got the blessing of being able to grow up with Ghost.

Tobias is so talented and fascinating. I haven't been able to stop listening to Ghost since I discovered them. Also this is the best interviewer I've ever seen, such calm and respectful energy without interrupting the artist.

Only thing I want to know is whose grandma's house are they in?

The interviewer's face shots are priceless. And good interview btw.

Saw Ghost in 2011, everyone was looking around at each other wondering what they were seeing. Saw them a couple weeks ago in london, was insane seeing the size of that crowd and everyone singing along. Such a huge growth with the stageshow too.

This has to be the most relaxed and comfortable interview that I've seen Tobias do.

I love how whenever we cut to the interviewer, he nods and has a smile across his face because he realizes how genuine & brilliant Tobias is over and over.

My wife and I are huge fans of Ghost! Our first dance at our wedding was to Life Eternal, one of our favorite songs of all time. Tobias, you are an inspiration and one of the great songwriters of our generations, keep being humble and being you!

Yeah, totally agree about picking Ghost for the artist of the decade. Tobias is the coolest, always honest and very interesting to listen to. And he is total monster on stage. Reminds me of Fredie a lot.

He kinda looks like he's the rocker grandson visiting his grandma and then showing her his songs

I love these long videos of Tobias Forge just talking his heart out. It makes my blackened heart happy.

Interviewer asked good questions and made sure to remain silent and gave Tobias the space for him to work his way through his thoughts, it must be hard to remain silent as you would just want to chat, but you may inadvertently put words in his mouth. I really enjoyed this, great job.

I’m always shocked to see how young he still looks. It’s awesome

Definitely should have mentioned the nosferatu pin on his jacket. Its awesome

He 100% deserves it. He’s immensely knowledgable and aware of how to approach his craft. He’s a very switched on guy and a realist. From every interview I’ve watched with him he honours his influences in so many ways but uses them in such a way to paint a clear picture and idea of what he wants to manifest. He never limits himself, he pushes the boundaries and refuses to stagnate as you can quite clearly here in his explanation of the progression of Ghost. Hands down deserves all the recognition he can get for what he does because he’s in my eyes a true inspiration for future metal and music enthusiasts.

Yeah, the pink walls and flower stitching on the pillows makes this feel like authentic metal.

I love how slow talking he is in interviews compared to on stage

Can you hear the rumble 🎶🎶🎶

Oh my God, he's so right about Germans being a tough audience...I'm from Berlin and I've been to several rock concerts on which I felt sorry for the bands on stage because the audience was so dead! 😩

He’s very well articulated and just seems like a very stand up guy

Loudwire has an undying love for ghost

One of the best interviews I have ever seen, good questions, then letting Tobias just talk. He is such a well spoken, intelligent guy too.

You know, I hated Ghost. I saw them on TV once and thought it was pure bullshit musically and visually. And I heard a song. Then one more. Still went "Bah!" Until, gradually, I started tapping my feet to some song. Then another. Then started actually seeking out the music to see if there was anything I liked. And there was. A lot of it just grew on me, and a lot of it I liked right off the bat. I guess My 2010s have been very much coloured by Ghost and, nearing the end of the decade, they're my favourite band.

Boop. I love his everything attitude, voice, brain, humor. Can't wait to see where Ghost goes

Seems like Tobias would be a cool guy to hang out with. Not your typical rockstar, full of themselves. His humbleness, and awkwardness, makes A great interview to listen to. Every time

Digging his retro Maiden shirt. Looks like the ones I wore in the early 80s.

Tobias is such a cool nerd, love him to bits 😁❤️

I’m so happy that Ghost got as big as it did. It’s such a great band with such diversity, it deserves all the love🖤🖤

I love that Graham got to interview Tobias, his expressions are so wholesome and I totally agree with Ghost earning the title. I saw them twice this year, in Hamburg in February and then in London this month. totally worth flying over for that haha

3:30 as a Brazilian is always soothing to hear a Sepultura reference.

He is and Gouleh are masterpieces. Keep pushing don’t let people tell you what to create!

Underappreciated musician and an underrated band, Ghost is freaking genius, not one bad song ever!

I think Ghost soared because they were a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale genre. I love the genre don't get me wrong but most bands in the last 10 years have had similar sounds. Then Ghost shows up with their own sound, their own look, and even create a whole backstory to Papa Emeritus. It's a way to keep everything feeling fresh, but in their own unique and interesting way. They've knocked it out the park and they deserve every bit of fame they've gained imo. They worked hard for it and their music is awesome 🤘🏻

Not to forget, he is a good character actor too

“It’s not like playing in Argentina” pero claro papaaaaa, aguante Ghost 🤘🏻🤘🏻

The cut-away shots of the interviewer are priceless. He may as well have had stars streaming from his eyes and dreamy harp music playing. I get where he’s coming from! TF is so talented and intriguing, even when he’s rambling, I can’t help but be mesmerized! Most entertaining live band I’ve ever seen.

The interviewer looks shy and blushing😂

Tobias seems like a brainiac. Where most rockers are probably only thinking about drinking beer and getting laid, he's probably sitting there after the show, thinking about how to improve. He could probably be a good manager when he gets too old.

Smartest and most talented man in rock and roll today. I admire the guy.

god i could listen to him talk for hours

Congrats to Tobias Forge! I agree with his voice on albums and his voice at the shows is slightly different. He is very creative and smart and sweet. I hope he continues his genius ways. Rockin that Maiden shirt. 🤘🏼up the irons!

He’s a great interview. Been fun watching them evolve since 2010. Tobias is a very talented guy on several fronts. He deserves success and obviously works hard for his rewards.

I met Cardi C last year and I have no recollection at all of what I said to him because I was fanboying so hard. Super nice guy once I genuflected at his feet...

the way tobias think is mind blowing, my man can do crazy good performances that involves theatrical stuffs plus his amazing lyrics, he deserve all the recognition and much more

52 yrs old and appreciate the unapologetic nature of all the band. Big time fan and look forward to seeing the polished show.

Ghost is one of the best bands of the 2010's, hopefully this comment doesn't get infested with annoying metal elitists who think good music is defined by how heavy it is.

Love Tobias, love Ghost. Went to my first ritual in 2018 in Omaha at age 61. Now I am obsessed and can't wait to see them again.

Some people love shitting on ghost for bringing something different with each records & eras saying it destroys the original image/sound blah blah blah but in this interview it's obvious that each changes were crucial to the band's growth & creative journey. Had tobias keeps the opus sound for at least 1 or 2 later albums, I don't think they would ever getting big like they are now.

The clear winner. They were the breakout band of the 20teens

Find someone who looks at you the way Graham looks at Tobias Forge. 😍 Can’t believe I had no idea Ghost existed until about a month ago. Now I am in deep smit and trolling every online source for more content. MORE.

I can't believe Tobias wanted other bands of his to make it more than Ghost. I couldn't imagine life without Ghost

The first time I saw Ghost they totally blew me away and then became one of my favorite bands. Tobias seems like an intelligent dude and he's also a genius.

If my 63-year-old dad likes them, then they're awesome. My parents know good music.

Tobias has a Galactic Empire insignia on his right shoulder.

I've been to many gigs, seen some very big bands, I saw ghost last month in Nottingham and I was right near the front and when I walked out I knew I'd been to the best gig I've ever been to...they were absolutely incredible 🤘

If Tobias hates wearing the mask so much; I'm sure fans would so down for him to wear a half face skull, or just to paint his face like a skull. Even like a red skull paint would be badass. He can at least take a break from wearing it for a few years.

When you see Papa Emeritus for the very first time you’ll never imagine that a men like Tobias is behind it 😂

Love hearing him give backstory to it all

You gotta love that Star Wars jacket

Darn, every time, I see Tobias, I want to hug him. He always looks as if he could be in need of a hug.

find somebody who looks at you the way Graham looks at Tobias. I love this guy so much. Absolute eternal genius approaching Beatles level. Ya, I said it. I meant it. I dont care

This dude is crazy smart.. and very sincere and genuine, nice interview.

god bless tobias for appreciating young artists and recognizing their talent

I really hope ghost will do a cover of dont fear the reaper

this interviewer is cheesing the whole time it’s so pure

This is so great. I admire him as a speaker so much, in addition to all his other roles in Ghost. I especially envy how he's not afraid to let there be lapses of silence while he think of his answers. It may be natural, it may be learned, but whatever it is, it definitely makes you hang on his every word and makes his response style so cool yet measured. Thanks for this, Loudwire!

Amazing interview with very good questions. Tobias always has such interesting answers. He definitely deserves this title and I can't wait what he comes with next!

Haha that Imperial Sign on his shoulder. #starwarsmetal

Well deserved. Also it's always such a pleasure to listen to him talk. I find the ways he talks about stuff very appealing.

I've watched this interview many times over and I still enjoy every minute of it. So good. Also Tobias is so interesting. I could listen to him talking and pick his brain for hours

dance macabre, mary on a cross and square hammer are my favorite ghost's songs they got something special. really love them

Hell yeah, great interview and I appreciate Loudwire giving the time for it.

It’s interesting listening to his accent, how you can hear his Swedish roots but also the strong distinctive American accent over the top of it too. I love papa because he really plays into his natural accent, it suits the character so well

Gotta say, the whole lawsuit thing did good in making interviews like this possible. Without Forge's identity being widely revealed with the lawsuit, it probably would have been those gimmicky in-character interviews til the end of time. Much more interesting when it's not someone playing a character. There's only so far a shtick can work.

God I respect this dude!!! Tobias seems really intelligent man! And about those death metal records made by young dudes, think about "Obituary - Cause of Death"... maybe the best death metal record ever, and yes, they were young

The interview I've been waiting for for like 7, 8 years.

He got a point. the creative energy I had when I was 20 is way different to the creative energy I have now. And damn I really wish I was 20 again as I really miss that level of energy.

It took so long for this band to catch on for me. Some of my friends were crazy since the start, but better late than never!

Metal is a broad genre. There is no doubt in my mind that Ghost are metal. And brilliant to boot. Fantastic live.

Tobias, I seriously love this guy so much. His music changed my life ❤️

really enjoyed seeing into the mind and motivations of Tobias Forge. Very insightful and entertaining interview. nice job.

I love how much thought he puts in to answering the questions.

Great interview, as always! I've just seen Ghost live, they played in my country after 4 years again. Thank you for this, it was very interesting and informative. It's so calming to listen to Tobias talk, and Graham is such a chill guy, his interviews always feel very... i don't know, natural, maybe? Anyways, peace!

I love Tobias but Graham is so sweet when he speaks, he's the only interviewer I like so far

It's Forge!!! Damn, he does not look a day older than 25!

Holy cow, Tobias is so young to be this talented.

27:45 shots fired

I remember when secular haze came out and how I felt when I first heard the tune vs when I saw the video and what they looked like. Both different reactions but still very intrigued and left me wanting more. It’s crazy how much time has passed since then and to see them come as far as they have. It’s definitely well deserved and it’s still hard to believe that this baby faced man is the one behind it all. Rock n roll ain’t goin nowhere 🤘🏼✨

Just adore this guy's mind. SO nice to talk to also. I had the pleasure in 2017 when they opened for Maiden.
