Dude looks REEALLY constipated---- hope he doesnt plan on using those to UNPLUG the problem
That dude is Tobias Forge - absolutely one of the most humble and polite people I have ever met....and he is an absolute guitar monster...
My $$'s on Doyle in a bar fight
Hmmmm...Pap Emeritus always rolls with some Nameless Ghouls...
Isn't he doing the Cardinal Copia thing now?
Yes! Cardinal Copia (Spanish for Copy) is on his way out. Papa Emeritus Zero is said to be slated for the fall concert schedule...
I liked Cardinal Copia character the best, but I love dystopia and theatre, drama, classic horror films and all manner of theatrics.

Hey, Gball...you might dig this Ghost trivia:
Tobias (frontman) writes all the music, the arrangements, and records ALL the guitar parts on the studio recordings...
"Are you playing all the guitars on Prequelle?"
Yes. I performed all the guitars and all the bass. With one exception—in the song “Helvetesfönster,” there was a nylon-string part. I originally recorded it with electric guitar but it sounded weak. It didn’t sound cool. So I wanted it to be played with a nylon string. Now, I stopped playing nylon string when I was seven years old, so I called a friend of mine, Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth, who is very good at playing nylon string, to do it.
"What was your guitar setup on the new album?"
We did four rhythm tracks on everything. On one side we had a Les Paul gold top with P-90s that went through an Orange amp, and also a white [Gibson] Explorer from, like, ’82 or something like that—that typical James Hetfield sort of guitar—that went through an old Marshall rack amp from the early Nineties. And then on the other side it was a mid-Seventies Les Paul Black Beauty 20th Anniversary through one of those old Laneys that Tony Iommi used and an early Eighties [Gibson] Flying V that went through another Orange. Then I had a Seventies Strat for a lot of the leads, and I think I did overdubs mostly with the Explorer. So it was quite simple.
Currently, the Ghouls are playing Hagstrom Fantomen's, which are 25.5" scale renderings of the Gibson RD's. I have to say, this guitar does feel really nice, despite the feeling of the fret-to-fret spacing being too wide. With the Lundgren Custom pickups, I could not detect any 25.5" character in the tone!!!!
Listen to the guitar parts in this tune...

You find yourself in an unfortunate and dangerous place. Locate the bar retard and buy him a few drinks. He probably has a brother or two with him and meet them. Now if you get screwed with you are set. Retard strength is amazing and you have it on your side.
Here's some cool Ghost trivia. Note the headstone - in the still image below - of Dorothy Ladd Grunnet, taken from the Official Video for "Rat's:"
That scene was filmed in Mountain View Cemetery in Altadena, California - not far from where we live now.
Here's the scene in daylight...

I am a fan, have liked what he is doing since he started it up. The lawsuit thing is BS in my opinion, it's always been his baby, like NiN is to Reznor.
