His masks has gotten better over the years. Now you can barely tell it's a mask. Their live shows are very entertaining, Tobias is a great showman.

The singer has said that the rats are what society is turning into. With the internet, bullying is at an all time high, and bullies are in your face non stop. He calls it the primal rush to judgment. And yes they sound the same live

So many great tunes. *Cirice* is iconic. If you choose the evil *Year Zero,* choose a live performance (my favourite is from Hellfest 2016). Also, *Square Hammer,* *Call Me Little Sunshine* (the official video is great, but a shortened single version). Also, the beautiful *He Is,* the heavy *Mummy Dust,* the fabulous show opener *Kaisarion.*

Might I suggest their song Mummy Dust if you want a little bit of their rougher side. Cirice if you want the Grammy winner. Year Zero if you want their evil side (tongue in cheek, of course). Variety of hard rock. And if you want to see live...the Mary on a Cross live in Tampa is pretty accurate. One of the best shows I've ever seen (only band I've seen four times).

@magnusblomqvist966 7 ай бұрын

Prequelle (the album) is a theme album based on the black plague. So Rats is obviously about the rats that spread the disease. But it's also a reflection of modern society where bullying has moved from the workplace or schoolyard to internet and social media. That's why he sings they still coming after you since you can't get away from the power of social media and modern phones. They can get into your home and life 24 hours a day in just a few clicks on the computer or phone. After three reactions it's also time to welcome the both of you to our family. You know if you have Ghost you have everything ❤️

@user-gj5lp8ck4f 5 ай бұрын

You HAVE to experience Ghost live if you haven't. They are seriously the most incredible. High energy, dancing, costume changes, EVERYTHING. They call it the Ritual. And it's worth every single penny. I go every time they come to town.

This is but one of the many brilliant things about the mask-even over face paint. Papa (or Cardinal) can be anyone, so he can do just about anything. Plus, it allows Tobias to be in two places at once, so Ghost can do more. It’s a stroke of genius.

"belief's contagious, spreading disease," this is a common theme with ghost, the idea of society using religion as a weapon. Love to see you guys reacting to ghost. I think you'd enjoy "Cirice" (a song so good I named my dog after it 😆)

Funfact.. Ghost has a massive lore that surround the band. Among all the lore details, stories and explanations is the alleged story of Ghosts first gig. This was in the US, at The Whiskey A Go-Go bar on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Ghost was an up and coming band, with a young Papa Emeritus Nihil on lead vocal. They were supporting Teri Reid and Spooky Tooth, and they performed their 2 new songs from their first single titled "7 inches of satanic panic", namely "Kiss The Go Goat" and "Mary On A Cross". Now.. the Scooby Doo Metal label was used by the naysayers and "true" metal fans of Ghosts first albums that just thought Square Hammer and the way Ghost was taking their sound on the Meliora album was rubbish.. As a little kick on the shin back to these people... When Tobias released "Kiss the Go-Goat" and "Mary On A Cross", he told the story about the alleged gig at the Whiskey A Go-Go bar. He said that the band debuted live on the 13th of September, 1969. Tell your buddy, that this is not a random date that Tobias just chose for this story. Can you guess what else happened on that date? A brand new show aired on TV... The very first episode of Scooby Doo aired that day 😆

Tobias' voice does sound a little different in live shows but not hugely, and the mask has gotten a lot better over the years and he's an amazing front man. If you're feeling the heavier stuff i'll echo another commenter about Mummy dust, From the Pinnacle to the Pit and also Con Clavi Con Dio from their early work.

@drizzin 7 ай бұрын

I don't think there was any formal explanation as to what the rats symbolize. It can be viewed as Social media and the issues that have come from it. Many think that it is a jab at the ex members that brought the lawsuit towards him, and exposed the identity behind the band. I'd recommend Faith by them, a bit heavier and will get the headbanging going. Year Zero is a great one for a funky any church tune, I'd also recommend Elizabeth or Ritual off their first album, both that are catchy as hell.

I will echo what everyone else has said about the rats being society and an unstoppable force coming to destroy society, but there's another layer where the album this comes from is about the Black Plague used as a simile to our current times.

Great reaction guys!! I love this song...the vibe & groove is SO infectious (just like Rats!!) Ghost is a pure resurrection of glam metal - 70's/80's influences abound, with a slightly 'darker' and more macabre imagery, visuals and lyricism! Tobias sings just fine with the prosthetic mask on live! This song was bonkers in concert. Further considerations: Square Hammer (absolute must - esp. if you liked Rats), Cirice, Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Ritual, Year Zero, Dance Macabre, Witch Image & Miasma (from same album as Rats - the latter is an instrumental - and epically 80's!) Such a fun group! Cheers!

Thanks for the great reaction. I'm very glad you liked it! Ghost is a truly fun and unique band. We're asking for more! I recommend Kaisarion, Spillways, Respite on the Spitalfields, Square Hammer, Cirice (official music video, you can catch the lyrics yourself), He is (official!), Call Me Little Sunshine (maybe Jimmy Kimmel live?), Year Zero (definitely live! This song shows its power in the live version. Hellfest 2016 is a good choice). There really isn't a single Ghost song that's bad. But these are the more important ones in the catalog or the ones you might like. A little piece of advice at the end, Ghost official music videos have often added lyrics (not automatically generated) so you don't have to choose between them and the lyrics video.

Great reaction. The theme that this album was the Plague, and Rats have historically been part of that. This was from 2018 - a few years before COVID.
