dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 He might call himself Cardinal now but he'll always be Papa to me. He's always said GHOST is a solo act and the ghouls are just back up. If he writes the music, he's GHOST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAFC Nick Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 So excited for this album. The first single, 'Rats' is supposed to be released today. Wish there was a dedicated fanbase for Ghost like there is for GNR - there is no 'MYGNR' equivalent. Get all my info from the subreddit, so interesting to read all of the theories and dissect messages and artworks! https://www.reddit.com/r/Ghostbc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Apparently the new single will be released at 4PM EST. Edited April 12, 2018 by st0n3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashaun Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 OK...so Tom Petty's lawyers sued Sam Smith and won a case, claiming Sam's "Stay With Me" plagiarized Tom's "Won't Back Down" due to structure/rhythm of the song......I have yet to really hear a pattern close enough in the 2 songs to warrant that...but.....listen to Square Hammer's structure/rhythm along with the song below, and see if you don't hear a similarity......Just wonder if anyone else hears that with the verses??

Hope Ghost does a US tour soon too. the mask Cardinal is wearing looks freaky too. It's good that he never tires of changing his look and does something strange and different in their videos! Wasn't a fan of the rats though! lol 3 hours ago, Silent Jay said: GHOST has set "Prequelle" as the title of its new album, due on June 1 via Loma Vista Recordings.

A lot of songs sound like other songs. It's a matter of what you are thinking at the time. I mean how many cords can someone possibly come up with? 18 hours ago, Powerage5 said: Next month.

It shows that Papa does want to make changes and hopefully for the better. I think Ghost is super talented and hopefully will be around for a long time to come.

CAFC Nick Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Album artwork along with pre-order bundle would suggest that the Cardinal + Ghouls outfits in the videos will not be their final guise (much in the same way that when the Cirice video was released ahead of Meliora, the ghouls and Papa still had their previous outfits in the video - this is probably different for this as Papa Emeritus III was 'removed' from the stage at their last show) Ghost pre-order bundle If you look into the pre-order bundle you can purchase a 'Plague mask' which would suggest that the slightly modified Meliora-era masks will be changed. Side note: Do think the female Nameless Ghoul mask with the Marilyn Monroe hair looks ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Was going to try to get tickets to the DC show and see them the day after I see The Misfits, but it's a theater and no GA seating. Sold out as well. Either way, if the rest of the album is anything like Rats, then I'm looking forward to it. Lead the way, Cardinal Copia.

st0n3r Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) After repeated listens, the song really grew on me. Can't wait for the full album. If the rest on it is just as good as 'Rats', Tobias Forge really made his detractors eat crow. This is also an (old) gem, only published as an extra song on the japanese edition of their first album: Edited April 18, 2018 by st0n3r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just kinda gotten into him and from what i have seen on youtube his music videos and live shows ive been hooked. After that i turned around and bought the live album at Walmart cause thats all i got for a record store now Im currently digging Rats and his acoustic version of if you have Ghosts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm not so fond of the live album. It lacks audience sounds, which makes the live performance much more tame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked out the tour dates and damn it, no Dallas date this time around. I can't travel to Houston again. Too far for me to drive. I'm sure Ghost will come back to Dallas since they have a huge fan base here and sell out every time. When I saw them open for Iron Maiden, from the screaming you could tell most of the Maiden fans were there to see Ghost too! I don't mind getting seats for Ghost. Since I'm not very tall, it's easier for me to see them.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Well, I'm hoping Ghost will either add more dates to this summer tour or come back in the winter. Ghost has played Dallas many times, so I'm sure they will come back eventually. I'm sure Atlanta would be a date too. Let's hope for the best. I'm anxious to see what their stage show will be like with their new cd? I think they are making enough money to add more stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'm new to Ghost. Walking Papers played a gig with them a few years ago. They both opened for Alice In Chains. Their song Square Hammer was used as a theme for an NXT TakeOver event over a year ago. I love that song. Rat's is growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yeah, Ghost will grow on you. They are a very talented band and Cardinal has the most wonderful sweet sounding voice even if when he's singing about Satan. lol Cardinal has his own twitter account too.
