Tobias Forge

[sistersofpercy]

Next year I’m planning a few days in Stockholm. We did say we’d do some city breaks and I want to investigate my Swedish DNA (god bless ancestry ), I just need to stop procrastinating.

Ahhhh I've adored this man since his days in Repugnant
Ghost just get better and better as time goes on. My most recent Ritual was Leeds in 2019, which was incredible. Another one hoping for a UK tour announcement here!
Did anyone see the interview clip where he talked about finding out that he just needed to ask for kids temperature coffee at starbucks? 🥹

Yes!! Tbf all his interviews are a delight. The one where he starts talking about his brother (it’s a Swedish one) and is in tears is heart wrenching.

I did catch something about Chris Catalyst leaving the ghouls though which is sad if true. Alway liked him.

Yes, it looks like he’s gone for good. Real shame, I’m a big fan of his solo stuff too, he seems like a nice guy. He posted on his Insta that he didn’t choose to part ways so I wonder what’s gone down.

Interview re: his brother:

(the sad bit is just after 52 minutes but the whole letter is lovely).

I’ve turned all teenage fan girl over Ghost. What has happened to me? Love Tobias. This thread was a happy discovery.

New interview with Tobias if anyone fancies a watch:

Hello fellow Ghosties! Never thought I'd see Toenail Fungus on here, but here we are! Been listening to Ghost since the beginning so to see how popular they were now is quite wild considering I used to get laughed at for enjoying their music. So proud of Tobias and the band though. They have done so well!

Same. I was sold when I heard Ritual on Opus. Bit weird to see a lot of young girls squealing over them, though good for their popularity I guess.
Tik Tok is absolutely full of it at the moment, so many random videos backed with Mary on a cross.

currently in ritual withdrawal. Didn’t really want to see them at Download because festival sets for me are never as enjoyable, so I’m putting all my eggs into the ‘November/December’ UK tour basket and working out how many I can do

 

[HowVery]

Where oh where are you Tobbe. Need to see what band t-shirt/jeans combo you're wearing this time.

 

[HowVery]

He looks so good

O.M.G.

Very meh about the release of Its A Sin - its on the deluxe edition of Prequelle so not really a new release

It’s never been available digitally, I listen to it on vinyl but couldn’t in the car etc. glad they’ve done it as fans have been asking for it for a couple of years

 

[sistersofpercy]

May be in trouble....

New kid at work, only young but big rock fan. Tells me he's never really heard of Ghost. I tell him to listen to Prequelle whilst he's working. He loads it on his Spotify and continues to tell me about a girl he's met......through his Christian Group.
Oops.

 

[sistersofpercy]

Slightly off the ghost topic, there are a few covers I prefer to originals,
Reel big fish - take on me
Enjoy the silence - Anberlin
Living la Vida loca - cometron

Off the top of my head

 

[sistersofpercy]

Him indoors surprised me with a record player for Christmas. Obviously this has created a monster. Never bought much coloured vinyl as a kid but decided I should make up for that now....
I bought a cope of Prequel....Its VERY bright

 

[EvilJigglypuff]

Are there any other hidden songs I might not have heard? I only really do Spotify but hadn’t clocked it on there

Yeah it is truly bizarre! I stay well out of the fandom now it's full of kids. They're vicious af.

I did consider download but I can't face festivals at my age now. I'd be standing for 5 mins then need to sit down, so like you, I'm desperate for them to announce a UK tour at some point. Apparently that may happen after Download! I only did 2 rituals last time, Manchester and Birmingham. Birmingham was absolutely the best! We bought tickets for it the day after Manchester and I had work at 4 the next morning. So worth it!

Don’t know how I missed this one

The bow and wee noise at the end was perfection

As others have said, Subvision's album So Far So Noir, and TF's Passiflora. Some of the Magna Carta Cartel stuff is good too. I like one of their later songs, called "Turn". TF doesn't sing with them though.

They have a cover of Stay by Shakespeare's Sister on the Impera special vinyl (I think its that one). It differs from the version with Patrick Wilson as it's just TF's vocals, which I prefer, obviously .

I have Spotify but I download everything that's hard to find from torrents.

Has anyone seen the little game on the official website? I love the 8-bit version of Lachryma - I want it as my ringtone!

[daisymay30]

What a fabulous early Valentine’s present from TF

 

[Macmama]

As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s legit!! I’m still absolutely terrified for Papa but so stoked.

Also new Tobbe.
