His little "heh heh" kills me every time.

There is just something very soothing about his voice...

Wow, this was a really great interview. I'm used to people just asking "Why the makeup?" or "Are you really a Satanist?" instead of actual cognitive questions. Refreshing.

I laughed out loud when “Was it hard to give the other Papa’s the axe?” Immediate “No.” 😂 “They weren’t contributing, and now they are.” Brilliant. Just brilliant. 😂 I love it.

Lets all take a moment to appreciate how good is Graham at interviewing possibly the most mysterious genius in modern rock n roll.

Saw Ghost in live last week. The contrast between the character he plays on stage and this interview is immeasurable ... Tobias Forge is a very strange perso. But I think that's why he is defenitely a good artist. With all his insecurities and mystery. By the way, is voice is so relaxing to listen.

I just can't understand the hate for Ghost from some people. At no point have they pretended to be something they are not, they came, played their music, did their thing, found their audience in people bored of the modern metal/rockscene and started to grow. Some people speak as if they have done something bad or wrong and some hate them for absolutely nothing, jealousy I presume.

Opus eponymous: the birth of the anti-Christ Infestissumam: the anti-Christ is born and is walking the earth Meloria:the world during the apocalypse and the anti-Christ is in charge Prequelle: Black Death and I hate my former band mates

I love Ghost, and I absolutely support him hiding his face. Ghost is Tobias' idea, but its not about him. And I appreciate it so much he understands that. The LORE of the band is so much fun and UNIQUE in the music industry now, having an actual face behind that could break the magic. Imagine if JK Rowling showef up in the Potters stories as a character herself? Would be weird. So I applaud how he understands this. Im sure that bcs of the lawsuit he just trying to connect the band to his name more, but its not about him getting fame.

I used a collection of high end graphics editing software's totaling several thousands of dollars and hours of processing to reveal Tobias's face from this video and it turns out, he doesn't have a face.

I don't mind the hidden face..I am just happy he does interviews! He is so eloquent, smart and has the loveliest voice. 🖤

03:00 papa voice

I think that Tobias does the interviews in this way because I once read that he was not interested in fame completely but he does very little because he tells him that he only wants to focus on his music. We know how it really looks in photos but if he does not want to be in cameras it is because he is not interested in fame or attention. and I think it's okay because he does not want to be one of those artists who forget how they started the truth, he would have preferred that he never revealed his identity now ghost lost that touch they had before

Damn. Tobias sounds like he has been through Hell and back 5 times in this interview. I hope he figures his stuff out and gets through the growing pains. I wasn’t a huge fan of Prequelle but I do really like the band, Ghost is something special. I’m excited to see what they do next

Tobias Forge. Mastermind. Chameleon extraordinaire. World's best actor? Best director? Genius at work. Respect. Nothing but! Love ya. 🦋

So there was a interview where he showed his face with his hair foward, a little stash, shades and a hat on. I believe he was trying to still hide his identity. That outfit still reminds me of Cardinal. I believe his real style is clean shave and hair slicked back.

WHO WANTS TO WALK WITH TOBIAS?

I can see it now: Tobias is quickly going to become a sex symbol in the rock genre. There’s already fan fiction.

Think it’s sad that they took away the secrecies of Ghost. It gave a whole cool vibe but just like Kiss you can’t hide forever. Someone will turn you in for a cash payoff. Cool that he is still trying to keep the mystic of that for the band.🤘🏻✌🏻

I've seen Ghost live 3 times. Fucking incredible.

People shit on Graham but this interview was fantastic. WFOF has really formed him into an great interviewer.

I love Ghost, I still haven't heard a song from him that I didn't enjoy. I can honestly say that I love every single song, his voice is so beautiful and soothing to the ears, heart, and mind. I even love just to hear him talk

Ghost was amazing last month

I've been going to gigs since the late 1980s. I've seen way over 200 touring bands and I can safely say that Ghost have one of if not the best stage show and tightest musically. Toby is a real one off, the way he graces the stage and has this incredible voice that doesn't come through so well on record but is huge live. The way he cycles onto the stage half way through the set on a little bicycle all in white with the little boater hat, just makes me think of like Noel coward crossed with Alice Cooper or something. Thing is you can see all these influences, but he stirs them all together into something new and vibrant. It's a shame about what happened to the original band. It does sound like they struggled to make ends meet in the early days. Traditionally accessible melodic rock music and theocratic satanism have not been typical bedfellows. If you want to grow the cult into the mainstream there's no point grunting into the microphone and thrashing through down tuned power chords and shredding at 500 miles an hour. They are such and interesting mix of styles like a beautiful and unexpected tasting cocktail that I would glady raise in a glass to Toby for giving us this superb music. You also feel like there is a mystique and you're in a little clique that are into the band, and that's a clever atmosphere to create around a band. People's attitude towards Toby reminds me of the stick that Dave Brock of hawkwind gets. You know; the guys a fucking genius and has mostly picked great musicians to play in the band. They come and go, so much that you don't really know who's going to be playing in the band at any given gig. Could be Arthur Brown, Simon house, Steve Hill age, Tim Blake, but they always are musicians that understand what the band is all about and naturally fit into the Hawkwind family. To keep that idea alive and fresh for 50 years is one hell of an achievement, he never sold out and keep the integrity of the band for all that time. I hope that someone can say the same about Toby in 50 years time, but I'll be dead and gone by then!

i really like the interviewer... no annoying interruptions, calm attitude, likeable voice, it´s a nice change. Y´all know what i mean if i say there are some annoying as fuck people out there doing interviews. this man has found his job.

IHEART RADIO NEEDS TO HIRE THIS GUY... FINALLY A FANTASTIC INTERVIEW

I think Tobias is an absolute genius. Artist of the year? Hell yes!

It's okay that he hides, everyone knows he's sexy af, plus makes the best music ever!

Tobi is so eloquent and deliberate but not as guarded. My man crush!

I am from Sweden aswell and I feel like Ghost has really changed the type of swedish rock music, I really like the other swedish bands too (mostly meshuggah) but i think that the music needs this kind of evolvement to hit the major middleclass people.

Ghost deserves to win both Grammys.

Best interview with Tobias for sure! Loudwire always had great interviews with Ghost but this is totally the best one!

Great interview Graham you just did a great job, first with the questions asked, then letting your guest talk, thank you for that. Tobias is such a nice human, humble down to earth and such an amazing artist, we love ❤️ the band so much. I respect his wish to be just a shadow, he mentioned that he does not want to be the focal point. He wants cardinal Copia and the ghouls and the music are. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️😍😍 we all love you Tobias and Ghost ❤️❤️

Great interview. I could listen to Tobias talk for hours.

So proud being from the same city as Forge!

So much better than that “other” interview, you know which one I’m talking about.

Damn Swedes speaking better English as a second language pretty much throughout the entire country better than 90% of Americans. Cut it out

Good interview! I was at the show in Milwaukee where the fan had passed away. I'm glad he elaborated on that situation. That was such a class act gesture of Tobias and the band to stop the show that night. Much respect for them to come back and finish the show on Halloween this year. It was a special night for all of the fans, one I will never forget. This band has a special connection with their fans that sets them apart from alot of artist these days.Ghost had a great 2018! Can't wait to hear the next album!! Nema!

I love seeing Tobias be himself but I miss Special just a little bit Still, I'm so happy to see all these interviews come out.

I love how deep he explains things. Really great interview!

Ghost is an amazing thing all round. An amalganation of many different genres and styles, pretty much done perfectly. I'm really enjoying the recent interviews with Tobias, it's cool to hear him explain the many different ideas behind the concept.

Thank you for this interview, Loudwire AND Tobias! It's always great to get more information about one of your favorite Bands. See you in Bochum, Germany in 2 months!!! 🤘🏻🇩🇪

Unintentional ASMR

This was a good interview with great, thoughtful questions-thank you for this!

Great interview, thank you! Interesting questions ❤️🇬🇧

I'm happy I discovered Ghost. He seems like a nice guy. I have learned so much history about religion and different vocabulary.

Great interview love ya tobias ❤️I was at that Halloween show and it was Amazing Jeffery! Rest in peace 💕

Well. The only thing left for him to maintain the image is to hide his face. He holds on to it and does the right thing.

I can relate to the end of this interview so much. I am also coming to certain places in my mind and learning how to manage what’s important, 2017 was also the worst year of my life, and 18 was good but this year is going to be better.

I still want the hero, Papa III, the Popestar, to swoop in and save the day.

Tobias, I might not see it in this poor lighting, but I can hear your chewing gum, young man 😊

I lovvveeee the story telling behind this band!!

saw them the beginning of this month, I stepped on his foot, we got there super early because of a loooong ass drive, any ways about a half hour before curtain I was trying to make it through the crowd to grab a bur, a line of people coming in were directly across my path to frosty greatness. there was a gap so i took it, well he did see me and in all actuality stepped under my foot.. Only reason i remembered it from all the other people I had stepped on in this journey to see my good friend the barkeep, He was wearing black and white wing tips, I used to have a pair i identical, So I said sorry buddy didnt mean to almost scuff up your fancy shoes, they look sharp.... he said thanks and i was back on my quest..... well anyways when they came on stage he was wearing the same shoes........... and half way through the first song he flipped me off..... it was half his fault to, jeez....

Rats was fantastic. Video, song, and all. Papas and Cardinal are great fun characters. Squared Hammer was my first song that grew on me over time, then I went looking for more blew me away. Glad I found what was established with these pieces of art in my later moments of life.

I love this man. Absolute genius!

I just saw Ghost live for the first time and they were amazing.

Blooper reel logic, it’s been a long time coming and it definitely deserves it .

Since you started this format I knew that an interview with Tobias would look hella cool

Great interview Graham !!!! 🙌

Awesome interview 💀

One thing he said reminded me of Witch Image. When he said something along the lines of being close to all these things.

This band kicks so much ass. 🤘

Can't wait to see Ghost this saturday in Brooklyn!

Tobias Forge is my hero and I can't wait for this new album!!

He's so calm in the interviews...

Dude is brilliant. Best thing for hard rock metal is ages mainstream exposure for that genre is 20 years ago. * nu-metal era and pantera.

Best part of this video was Gram wearing an ST shirt. \m/

i love the way tobias says loudwire

This guy's amazing!

Goddamn they gave a satisfying show in Phoenix a couple months ago. Please come back GHOST! 🤘Rock Lives

His voice is 🔥

Im seeing him tomorrow in Albany, so hyped!!!!!

the man, the myth, the legend

Wikipedia Fact or Fiction would be nice with him.

The thing I want to happen with Ghost is for Copia to become a full fledged papa, and make an album like Opus Eponymous again.

His voice is so beautiful that it sends me to a happy place. Could listen to it all day! I know it's easier for a ot of people to pronounce his name the English way, but Jesus it sounds so wierd to me....especially when he says it himself.

Best album so far imo

Tobias Forge plays to the beat of his own drum. He does things differently for his own reasons and that makes his music interesting. As far as masks and concealing his identity I believe that he is very humble person and may actually be uncomfortable with the spotlight on him as the focal point as a “Rock Star”. That’s my opinion... I very much enjoyed the concert in Los Angeles and look forward to seeing Ghost again in whatever character Tobias is. Good interview 👍🏼

Hail to Ghost in all light they shall bring upon the Music industry!! 👌🙏

Definitely one of us!!!! Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, Rats is obviously influenced by Bruno Mattei's film and Castle of the Undead or something.

Could you imagine creating something as fun and pop/metal/rock/punk as Ghost and then everyone getting so fucking serious about this shit! LOL!

Great singer- creating a persona lost in today’s music ala Alice Cooper/Kiss & Motley! Keep it coming!

♥🔥👻If you have Ghost, you have everything!👻🔥♥

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘. FUCKIN' love ya Tobias!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘. thank you so much for what you give us through music!!

Ghost needs to come to more than just 3 cities in Canada 🙄

I’m always struck by how eloquent he is in speaking English.

I dont get the point in hiding his face when everyone already knows what he looks like. 🤔🤔🤔

This was SOOOOO much better than the iheartradio interview

One of the best bands rn imo

Copia is cool but I want to see another Papa please Tobias btw San Jose show was Awesome best live sound ever and I've been to alot of Shows.😎

I love Ghost

I think I get why he is covering his face even though many people know his look, its separates him from his character and if you don't know his face well then you're not trying to look at him as a guy under a mask but looking at his cardinals as there own people with here own back stories and personalities.

I knew this was about to happen

I have everything, why, coz I have Ghost baby 🔥

Some people are chiding him for his wanting to stay relatively anonymous. I think THERE IS something to the mystique. When you know everything about a musician, down the mundane details like what kind of food preferences he/she has it kind of takes away from it a bit. Maynard Keenan used to be kind of the same way he didn't divulge everything and didn't do interviews as much. And I think it served his career well. There was a kind of element that left you wondering, or wanting more. So I wouldn't knock this guy for wanting to shut you out from a thing or two here....

I love his voice lol

I love ghost! \M/

Tobias is the man & i love Ghost. What a visionary🤘

Ghost is amazing! Whoever says the opposite is wrong. PERIOD.

I'm pretty sure they can revive the Papas if they need them. It wont be lore breaking
