Ghost and Blood Ceremony North American tour 2012[views:36361][posts:121][show listing] _______________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 12:06pm - Manowarrior ""] Lamp said:I clicked that link above with the full album. The keyboard intro sounded really cool, but the music just sounded like radio rock to me. Of course it sounds like radio rock, you guys are aware that this was an existing Swedish POP band before they put on scary masks and decided to play "metal"? No, of course not. You all see this information as irrelevant, since thinking about a band's motivations behind how and why they make their music could lead towards the examination of your own motivations for supposedly liking and listening to "metal." And sooner or later, a lot of you are going to wake up, look in the mirror and realize you don't give too shits about metal, deep down you only care about trying to follow all the really cool trends, just like everybody else. |

There was a period on here where everyone was suddenly in a rush to profess their deep admiration of childhood lust for Blue Oyster Cult but somehow Ghost was ruined for them cause they sounded sorta like a cut or two off 72 self titled. OH I'D RATHER JUST LISTEN TO MERCYFUL FATE INSTEAD Well shithead, they don't really sound as much like MF if ANYTHING more like Black Rose, hahahha Just don't get why people hate this band. It's like alcoholics who only drink Bud Lite. I love all that old stuff and whatnot but sooner or later it's refreshing to hear and see a band like Ghost in this terrifying modern age we live in. WOW thank you...well said, my friend. I find ghost to be terribly uninspired. They blatenly make music for the end result of tryiing to SOUND LIKE certain bands instead of lettilng certain styles influence them naturally. It reaks of poseurism. I also find the majority of their songs do not have any sort of resonence with me the way that old MF or any of those old bands do. It sounds FORCED it's hokey and I think a lot of people simply like them because they are different and they are too lazy to actually find different sounding music on their own, instead they just let Fenriz tell them what is cool and jump on the bandwagon. I almost feel like the band is playing a big joke on everyone sometimes because the music is so insincere. No one will remember Ghost in 10 years because they suck complete shit, and the members will be doing something else by then. Long since spending your money you doled out for thier limited edition vinyl. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 22,2012 12:36pm - BSV ""] Sometimes I wonder if music sounds "forced" it just kinda falls into place perfectly, more or less a compliment of quality writing. however forcing shit sucks like most deathcore bands sound forced to me ala "breakdown here, play this riff then break it down, then breakdown the breakdown" or maybe even how cynic just throws random shit in their songs; that can sound forced. I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT FENRIZ BANDWAGON HOPPERS. I sometimes think that it is a joke as well. Bottom line is I like it. I even like some pop music. Whether I'm a poser or not is up for you to decide. Sometimes I just can't deny a catchy song. |

I don't care! I'll just continue to listen to metal and pop and everything else that makes me happy. I'll also continue to go to shows that supposedly have metal bands playing. Also Ghost was frickin fun at this show! I sang at the top of my voice along with Elizabeth. I screamed along with the crowd when they played the first riffs of Ritual. I even harmonized along with Here Comes The Sun! Fuck yeah! |

| _________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 2:41pm - indeed ""] I think the guy on the right is the singer from Opeth. These guys are from Sweden right? I've seen interviews with him and they both talk the same exact way...minus of course the disguising of the voice. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 2:47pm - Graveside Robin ""] They have an invention called Google. Type in Who's Ghost? Retard. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 3:14pm - nekronautloggedin ""] Band is In Solitude and Repugnant. Old news. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 3:39pm - nekronautloggedin ""] Also, LOL @ me commenting on the new official "The Nameless Ghouls" facebook page with "In Solitude and Repugnant > Ghost" and it being taken down almost immediately. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:01pm - late_rising ""] only wearing an Iced Earth FUCK POSERS shirt to a Ghost show is real |

That tells you all you need to know about Ghost, image taking precedence over music. Boyband metal. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:30pm - Manowarrior ""] Actually, the band is Subvision. Old news. bennyhillifier There is "Ghost" for you, in all their "dark occult" heavy metal glory. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:33pm - late_rising ""] so Ghost is really Cold Cave? |
| ________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:33pm - KEVORD ""] Ghost is Oasis. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 5:35pm - Manowarrior ""] bennyhillifier Not sure who Cold Cave are. I think this song is a bit more metal than that other Subvision tune. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 22,2012 6:11pm - nekronaut ""] Subdivision > Ghost |
