Watching Tobias without all the makeup and the act is like you're watching a complete stranger but that could pass by any guy next door. And it's SOOOO impressive.

[TheeInjun]

"I write them and then record them and then I never play them again." Finally a relatable guitarist!

[jedward]

More than technical skill, Tobias understands melody and how to craft hooks. The first time I heard Square Hammer I felt like I already knew it by heart. It was so damned catchy.

[jacoby]

He looks so happy playing guitar and talking music. This man is living his best life.

It was nice of Tobias' grandmom to let them film this at her house

[beetheb]

This Tobias guy seems like a pretty chill dude, he should think about starting up a band.

[dinofond]

Tobias is so serious in interviews. Put a guitar in his hand and he's all smiles and animated in a child like way. I received such joy from this video

''on a real guitar, like on an electric guitar '' - Tobias Forge, 2019

I noticed how Ghost has such a classic sound rather the modern shred. I have more appreciation for this group. Tobias keep going with this music innovation.

Ghost to Metallica- You are breathtaking!

Metallica to ghost - NO ! You are breathtaking!

[TheDoctorPhreak]

I don't care what people say, he really isn't just doing it for the money, he loves his craft and this video shows it.

[Peringon]

The way he describes Ghost as a 70's band filled with dudes in their thirties is both very funny and accurate sound wise. Like you can hear that description in every song from the first album.

[aarondavis]

That Square Hammer riff is one of the most bad ass riff ever

[nwrth]

It's so weird to hear him talk while he also moves his mouth.

[NiVoldiza]

The way he explains how his solo writing is more compositional, than just improvised super-fast note vomit, is pretty much the "thing" that makes Ghost for me. There's absolutely zero fat or extra, every note, stem and harmony is long thought and hits the nail on the head. When they play live, the ghouls play the songs exactly like on the record, with immaculate precision and skill, which makes the live show a trancendent experince for those audience members, who know all the songs by heart, note by note. There's only a couple of other bands that I can name, from whom I can't find a single bad song, and that's rare.

"If you ask me to play Elizabeth, I couldn't remember how to play it"
*Proceeds to play Stand By Him*
Ahhhh....classic Tobias.

[shoople]

papa exudes such sexual dark energy on stage and tobias seems like he could be your youth pastor

[Tipsy]

Ghost is proof that simple can be extremely good

[kamyabkm]

I like how he refers to an electric guitar as a real guitar haha. A true metalhead

[Chevellion]

This is the most animated I've ever seen him on camera! You can see his love and passion for playing, love it :)
