Haven't seen that(or maybe I don't remember it, although it does sound familiar), but I will say that their show was one of the most fun shows I've ever seen. One memorable bit(googling it now, it seems to have been a hit with many people) was that they had a sort of confetti Cannon that shot fake money. Managed to get one; pretty cool memorabilia. Especially in this day and age when physical concert tickets are rarer. I still have the ticket from my first concert(and all the other subsequent ones)
I don't hate them. I actually kinda like a few of their singles. But them being considered metal is beyond the pale. Hard rock maybe, but definitely not metal.
Ok what am I missing, I just checked their Encyclopaedia Metallum page again, and it shows that album as their only one. Same for Spotify and YouTube Music.

I don't remember where I heard it, but Ghost is Bon Jovi for theater kids.
They're still great though

That's good hahaha. I've liked the comparison of Ghost being the dark version of ABBA.
alx@piefed.blahaj.zone · 20 pts · 251d
I always say it’s ABBA metal (in the absolute best way possible)

Ghost is Scooby Doo metal and I fucking love it.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 251d
In their concert movie they included an animated chase scene done in classic scooby doo style. I lost my shit.

Here it is!
And that's awesome. I don't like standing at concerts so I've never been close enough to get any money. But yeah, best live concerts I've ever seen.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 251d
Quality trolling. Ghost is barely metal, it's basically hard rock.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 251d
The proper genre is "Halloween glam rock."
I will not be taking questions at this time.

Possibly the biggest douchebag I'll ever meet was really into Ghost.

Waaaait, I'm not the only one that had this (2.) band recommended by the algo? xD
dunz@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 250d
I've listened to them since the first album tbh
CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 250d
Nice
If I remember correctly from when I checked them out after the recommendation, that they only have one album that came out this year, right?
dunz@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 250d
No? Their first album released in 2010. They've released 6 albums in total

You're probably looking at the wrong entry, probably multiple bands with the name. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ghost/3540309157
Edit: here they are on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Qp56T7n950O3EGMsSl81D

Ooh now I get it.
I was talking about Draugveil the whole time, they were recommended to me at random and so I thought it funny to also see them pop up in a meme.
Of course Ghost is older and has many albums.

How can one be so confident and yet so, so wrong?

Dan Akroyd has a Lemmy account?
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 251d
Lol,That interview was wild. I kept waiting for the joke and finally realized hes just a nutjob.
dunz@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 247d
I'm out of the loop, what's this referencing?
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 247d
Dan Akroyd claims to have fucked a ghost and said so in many interviews, he also believes in aliens and magic. Dan is a bonafide looney.
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 247d
Is he a blues brother?
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 247d
yep
sem@piefed.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 247d
He talks to a ghost in the 2nd movie maybe that's related
