That being said, I like Ghost, but they aren't the best band since Sliced Bread. As a matter of fact, Sliced Bread has better organ parts. I keep hearing Ghost compared to Mercyful Fate. I love Mercyful Fate, and I hear very, very little Mercyful Fate in what Ghost do. Mercyful Fate were a METAL band, heavily influenced by Judas Priest and the whole NWOBHM movement. Mostly, what I hear listening to Ghost are very, very well constructed pop songs with lyrics about satan. Which makes sense, considering that they were an existing Swedish pop band that decided to put on masks and makeup and sing about satan. The dominant influence I hear in Ghost's songs is Blue Oyster Cult. That's a good thing; I'm glad someone stopped rehashing Black Sabbath, and looked around for other influences. Along with that, there's a slightly metallic riff from time to time, and plenty of influence from 70's AOR, the staples of classic rock today. I would say that Ghost is more influenced by ABBA than Mercyful Fate. Haters are gonna hate, but if you're hearing a "Mercyful Fate rehash", you either need to get your ears cleaned out, or start listening to some actual metal. Mercyful Fate worship done proper = In Solitude, Portrait. That is all for today, thanks for you time, and listen to metal, for the children... |
| ________________________________________ [May 28,2011 12:46pm - Blessed_Offal ""] I hear the Fate comparison. That tracks OK. |
| _____________________________________ [May 28,2011 12:46pm - arilliusbm ""] At first listen, the guitar riffage is nothing like Mercyful Fate (and rightfully so, MF is untouchable and more NWOBM, you're right). But at first glance, their artistic output visually seems to be heavily inspired by that of King Diamond's. No, they dont look the same, but it should be evident who he is influenced by, both by the tone he sets and by his lyrical output, although short and simple. There are some similarities in overall artistic outlook, but i'm more or less talking about who they try to portray themselves as, in a modern sense. Blue Oyster Cult, abd some Deep Purple are good comparisons to their music, as well as other bands that had their heyday in the 70s. That being said, I'll gladly listen to 70s metal/proto metal and 70s prog any day to Ghost. While being a breath of fresh air in some regards, it's easy to draw the King Diamond comparison, regardless of how close (or lack thereof) the music is. |

I've seen people describe them as a progressive metal band. I don't agree with that at all. Most "prog" bands from the 70s incorporated some sort of organ or moog synth, therefore I guess the connection is drawn. As far as the MF connection is made, I can see what Eye was saying, but also see the other side of the argument. I think the vocalists' main influence is KD and MF, whereas the music is definitely not, although with slight hints here and there. |

I'm a fan of the album, but live they turned me off so much I walked out after the 3rd song. It's possible they improved as the set went on (I've seen other bands do it) but what I saw was boring, sounded shitty, looked goofy and seemed to involve vocal guide tracks if not straight lipsynching at points. |

I've been to a few cool shops out there; I know there's some around. I got some King Crimson vinyls up in Brattleboro VT years ago. I've always enjoyed those areas because of the music, art, and book shops. Yeah, some of it. There's a really great record shop for that kind of stuff, Feeding Tube Records, down on King Street. Usually, it's more noise/experimental oriented, as that's the scene around Northampton. However, they got a HUGE batch of metal and hardcore stuff in, I got some great finds, and there are some even better ones. It's been cleaned through pretty well, my friends and I got most of the really cool stuff like first press Discharge LP's, Testament LP's, but there's still a lot of great stuff remaining, including but not limited to: Nuclear Death - Bride Of Insect LP Neurosis - Pain Of Mind LP Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare Therion - Of Darkness Those were all still there last time I went, plus some other cool punk, hardcore, crossover, and metal stuff as well. They have a pretty solid selection of 60's and 70's rock, krautrock, etc. |

Celtic Frost sounded terrible live and I still enjoy their albums so this doesn't make me enjoy the Ghost album any less. I sound like I'm Ghosts biggest fan which I'm not. I just refuse to hate on a band that everyone had a boner over six months ago cause they're not troo now. |

| ____________________________________ [May 31,2011 4:28pm - arilliusbm ""] when has some one hated on ghost that previously liked them 6 months ago? personally, I still enjoy them, but am only being realistic because they seem to be a fad at the moment and have the overnighters' attention. i like music for music, but calling out a trend is LULZ worthy on rttp because of panties being ruffled. |

Calling something a trend for the sole reason of ruffling panties on rttp because I could give two fucks what you homos actually care about. check 3.) Being a typical arilliusbm douchebag check and the forth and most important reason: all people who enjoy Ghost but don't care to delve into their influences as well as other 70s music should do so. otherwise you're just an overnighter fenriz trendwhore. :P |

| __________________________________ [May 31,2011 4:49pm - lostark ""] I still can't see the MF/KD comparisons. I don't get the heavy/speed/black metal vibe from Ghost that I do from the King. Maybe the theatrics and lyrics are similar but Ghost's sound is "older" for lack of a better word. Way more BOC/Deep Purple/Blackmore/Steppenwolf? stuff I hear in Ghost. The lyrics and delivery range from sinister to cheese in just a few seconds but we're talking about metal here...Ghost has some seriously rocking hooks. Sathanas / We Are One / Out Of Three / Trinity gets me every time baby. Good thread Jim, didn't read. |
| _______________________________________ [May 31,2011 4:50pm - NuclearWinter ""] Tried watching this band at MDF to see if I'd enjoy their music more live. Negative. In fact, I probably enjoy it less now. Can't help but think of them as a PG-13 version of whatever a "Satanic Rock Band" is supposed to be. They're not terrible, yet they don't seem to exhibit the qualities their bulk fan base thinks makes them appealing. Thank fuck for Pagan Altar -- my eternal source of occult and decidedly ghostly vibes. |

You should know what hipsters are by now, city boy. 70s Prog Rock is notorious for use of organ.

| _________________________________________ [May 31,2011 7:09pm - Bleacher seats ""] I thought Ghost was really good, i was only familiar with a few songs before seeing them live and i was impressed - I stood next to Wren the whole time during their set and he knew every word and was singing perfectly to it - kids' got a set of pipes on him! - he was awesome!!! I thought the sound was superb (they share Electric Wizard's sound tech, dude from Greece) and after watching them live and hearing the record afterwards, i totally remembered the songs from the previous night, that kinda shit never happens with me, - the tunes are good, nice guitar work, i dig the harmonies, i aint gonna lie - i dont know what they're doing, but, it seems, they're doing it right... Btw, Ghost is actually the band REPUGNANT, who also played earlier in the day - they share the same management etc etc and if you do enough snooping around online, you'll see connections, could be true or false if they are in fact Repugnant - My guess is Ghost is a band that was maybe "put together" by someone else with the vision of what they are now - alot of hype for a band that only has a total of what? an hour's worth of music?? Haters gonna hate - i enjoy the record and their music for now - until they turn poppy and gay, which will more than likely happen.... And yes, they were definately using back up vocal samples and it was off on the first song |
