    we all want someone who looks at us like the way Graham looks at Tobias

    “Are you ready to swear right here right now before the devil?” Gives me goosebumps everytime
  • @PruneNut
    I actually really appreciate how kinda simple (for a lack of a better term) Tobias is. He just seems like a normal dude, not trying to be overly charismatic or flashy.
  • @danieldavis5293
    It's astonishing how he talks about writing "Square Hammer" so matter-of-factly and business-like. Basically, "we needed a killer opening song so I wrote one". Much, like Ricky Bobby, Tobias wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence. Writing amazing music is just so routine for him that it hardly registers as a conscious act.
  • @darkChristian
    Tobias is a great singer/songwriter, a genius in Heavy Metal. I love Ghost
  • @TheJonathanc82
    Tobias looks like a dude I could sit down and have a few beers with while having really good, chill time. Very down to earth.

    6:06 "aaah very high, highly, high, high, I high, in high regard" good job
  • The question as to where the decision came from to use the Nosferatu style of horror was a really good question. Bravo interviewer
  • @Darksidedoom
    He has such flirty eyes for Tobias in this interview...lol
  • @invaderjae
    it doesn't even look like they're in the same room. lol
  • This was the song that got me into Ghost in the first place and it's one of my favourite songs by them, it's just so freaking badass
  • They take a lot of flak but I kinda like Ghost, progressive, smart, fun. The Imperial patch on his jacket just sealed the deal. Oh and the love for the Heep, didn't hurt either.
  • @neXib
    The questions are very "advanced", like he expects some super deep stuff. And Tobias is so casual. Kinda refreshing. Maybe not what people expect.
  • This was interesting af. I'm not a fan of Ghost, but this definitely makes want to check them out. More of these types of interviews, please! I love hearing how musical artists create.
  • "If there's one band I listen to more than Blue Öyster Cult, it's Uriah Heep." Makes sense. Always heard the BÖC influence but I wouldn't have guessed Uriah Heep, now that he's said it I can hear it tho.
