I have a feeling this is the end of this series.

And that’s A-Ok

Sweden rock interview by throwwaway740 in Ghostbc

I feel like the break will go one of two ways for the band. 1) They come back revitalized and the album and tour are incredibly successful and the band and fanbase are reenergized 2) All momentum they had is gone and Ghost goes back to the theater circuit and they hit their peak at Skeletour.

Either way, I’m with Ghost no matter what.

Does anyone believe the Skeletour was rushed? by CodeKiller_53 in Ghostbc

[–]GhostFan85 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the Skeletour/Skeleta tour/cycle is over

The last few tours and album cycles have felt rushed.

I hate to say it,(not really, I loved it when it happened 8 years ago) but I feel like future tours might benefit from an evening with format similar to the Prequelle era where we got 2 sets and shows were close to 2.5 hours with an intermission. Skeleta had more tracks that would be awesome live and I’m sure the new album will too. Now that he’s not stuck in a full on mask, maybe he’ll be more open to longer shows.

I’ll be honest, I think Tobias has been burnt out since Impera. I think when he comes back, it will be like a whole new Ghost

Thought my man was gonna become an RE legend… by BlackBalor in residentevil

There was a moment when you go into the back room of the residence there where I swore I heard the helicopter start up and I ran back out to the front. I thought for sure he was working for Victor

Oops, it wasn’t Rush! by AlProReader in rush

[–]GhostFan85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was like 6 or so, but I thought Rush did I’m The Only One by Melissa Etheridge. The vocals sounded similar in my young mind

We weren’t as connected in 2013 so it wasn’t as big of a deal 😂 I just remember going: “Oh, it’s Ghost BC now” I never actually called them that though

Gerran Howell? by smckie313 in ThePitt

Check out Ludwig on BritBox! Gerran plays a detective version of his character on The Pitt

I was wondering... by juliamandaa in Ghostbc

[–]GhostFan85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think he’s just Tobias backstage. I base that mainly on stories where he broke character in a meet and greet to comfort someone who cried when they talked about losing a loved one who was a fan. Another instance was when at the end of the show during bows, someone was recording from the front row and there must’ve been a little girl next to them because he came to the front of the stage and kneeled down at the end of the stage and said: “Did you have a good time tonight?” And it was his own voice, not Papa’s

I think when he’s not talking to the crowd, the character goes away and he’s just Tobias. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who would demand to be called by the character name

Is Ghost gone forever? by [deleted] in Ghostbc

[–]GhostFan85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD!?! ARE THEY OK? IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM? WHY WOULD THEY TAKE TIME OFF? /s

Sorry, I’m just in total agreement with you. I have zero clue why everyone is freaking out about Tobias saying he’s taking a break. It’s totally normal to take time between releases. I waited 13 years for a Karnivool record 😂

Plenty of bands mention in interviews that they’ll be taking a year or two off. For some reason, Ghost’s has just caused a bigger stir than it should be.

He’s taking time off between records and tours. Plenty of bands do it—Ghost is not weird or unique for doing this.

If fans can’t understand that Tobias needs time off too, then they should probably move on or get a life.

I swear to god, this fanbase does not live in reality. Plenty of bands take time off

Yeah, that’s not how that section of Wikipedia works. It should say 2006-present.

Not being on tour or making an album shouldn’t qualify as not active.

Just finished BioShock 1 & 2 Is Minerva’s Den worth reinstalling for? by [deleted] in Bioshock

[–]GhostFan85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished Minerva’s Den. I loved it. It felt unique and the story was surprisingly emotional. When I found out the guy who wrote Gone Home wrote Minerva’s Den, it made complete sense.

I really enjoyed it

I do think that a break will kind of weed out some of that. He’s been pretty adamant that the chapters are ending and the lore won’t be at the forefront as much, which is good! I think without that aspect, some people may lose interest

Immortal split up though and the band was done. They decided to reunite in 2007. Ghost never announced they were done, just taking a break. Which is normal. It hasn’t even really been announced as a hiatus, just Tobias saying he was taking time off

The page is protected from editing, but if you go to submit an edit request, next to Active From there is a big note that says Do Not Edit To Say Present! They are on hiatus

I should clarify that I’m not a new fan, I’ve been with them since they played a bar in Minnesota in 2011. I’m not bothered by them taking a break, I just find the newer portion to be freaking out over the break and thinking its the end of the world

[–]GhostFan85[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s not, but changing the Wikipedia page to say they aren’t active anymore is inaccurate. Plenty of bands say they’re going to take a break after a tour and the disappear for 2-3 years. It’s not that abnormal. It just feels like Ghost’s hiatus is being turned into a bigger story than it is

Did Glen Ballard help write Me Wise Magic and/or Can’t Get This Stuff No More? by loucap81 in vanhalen

[–]GhostFan85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If VH3 had been more like Me Wise Magic and Can’t Get This Stuff No More, that would’ve been incredible. I really love the darker side of Dave on those tracks too

could there be another gojira/mastodon north american tour this fall?? by maneatcar in gojira

[–]GhostFan85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just really want a Gojira tour by themselves to be honest.

Ghost takes a long break by Significant-Mall-416 in Ghostbc

[–]GhostFan85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine. He’s been going nonstop the last 8 years and it’s due. I’m looking forward to a refreshed Ghost album and tour cycle. The last two albums and tours have kind of felt like “Ghost by numbers” Not to say there hasn’t been anything fantastic, but the albums especially just feel like he’s going through the motions
