Cirice, Ghost, Jiffy Lube Live, Bristow, Virginia; June 3rd, 2017; Popestar Tour; (Washington DC area), 1st night of the North American Tour; opening for Iron Maiden
Papa E might just be the greatest front man currently working in rock music. Fantastic stage presence and a sense of humor. Can't wait to see what ole Tobias pulls out for Papa IV!
I can't believe nobody mentioned 3:25 where he does that really subtle right hand movement. Might just be my dirty mind but is it what I think he's doing?
Spicy Salsa yes. I've seen them 3 times(4 as of June 11)... And Papa is always doing that kind of stuff. Look up Year Zero, and watch his gestures when they play live. Another good one is Ritual.
So pissed...I was HERE for Maiden over the summer, didn't know any of the opening acts at the time so I came just for Maiden's set, but later discovered Ghost to be one of my FAVORITE bands...I COULD'VE KNOWN SO LONG AGO
Thank you for this! I was there at the concert which was amazing, my first concert ever actually, but I was in the lawn so I was far away and my vision isn't the best so this helps. Plus I get to relive the experience :)
The hand jewelry and finger tattoo kind of gave away Megan at bass. I think the old band had a well-aged chemistry because some of them had played together for so long, AND they had some songwriting credits. However, I do like the fresh energy of the current band. Yet, I believe it will still be a revolving door of musicians. I think that's Tobias's business model for Ghost.
They have different personalities, but we haven't had time to get to know them. Alpha and Omega were there a good 6 years and saw the band rise in fame. If these guys are for keeps for a while then we'll get to know them soon.
Just from this video, I would say that they have the same amount, if not a smidge more, stage presence. We can't our resistance to change cloud this transition. The old Ghouls were great, yes, but now we have the opportunity to see a new take on Ghost.
You are full of shit the new members are more aggressive big time. Their energy is through the roof. Completely disagree Chris. Their stage presence is incredible.
Am I the only one who noticed that the keyboard continues to play even though the keyboard player is just sitting on his hands not touching anything? 5:21
I was actually really pleased with how well these new ghouls did. Im still wondering why the fuck they decided to make ritual the third song in their set
Just saw Ghost with Iron Maiden in Tampa. They lost something, something big. They now sound like a garage band. Loud and proud, but just not right. Mistakes were evident, and the sound, tone and timing of each instrument was, unfortunately, incorrect. An amateur attempt. I saw them in Jacksonville, FL last year. Not only was that show incredible, but the musicians were superb, accurate, soulful and enjoyable. That version of Ghost was truly great. They had something really good. I won't go see them again.
cujet I saw them May 2016 in Birmingham. One of the best shows of my life and I have been attending shows a long fucking time. I saw this 'new' version headline in Atlanta June 10. I agree with what you are saying, but think you overstate a bit. I do prefer the previous lineup, but this lineup certainly is satisfying, if not as sublimely so as the previous lineup. I also like this new bassist better than the old water. All that having been said, Omega's presence is sorely missed.
As I mentioned, the previous incarnation of Ghost was truly superb. I can't understand the need to screw that up and start over. Truly good bands refine their sound, honed to perfection by passion, to the point where it's impossible to duplicate and only the real thing will do. The secret to success, if you will. Consider the Roger Waters version of Pink Floyd, as example number 1. Roger's wonderfully derailed voice remains, but Gilmore's guitar is beyond absent, as it Dave's voice. Not to mention the loss of Wright. Just not the same, not as good, the magic is gone, and Roger as Floyd is simply nowhere near as pleasing. I have no interest in seeing Waters again, it's a one note show.
cujet It's clear to me, that Ghost is going to be a more Zappa-Bowie -esque project going forward. Not in musical style obviously, but in the band's organization, and Tobias' role in it. For better or worse.
Zappa-Bowie would be awesome, but I suspect it's going to be more like Marilyn Manson where the live rental musicians always fall short of the potential.
they pushed the visual easthetics but the sounds is so tame. Maybe the lyrics are profanatory, but i could easily see some first degree punk-rock there instead.
literally here bc this was the first link I noticed searching "Jiffy lube ghost," and I'm honestly thrilled with the music. The group's energy seems awesome, with the feuding banjo jingle coming after the riff from Shine On You Crazy Diamond leading into their own song. Gotta check them out
The new ghouls are too animated. The older ones had a creepy, quiet feel to them and let their instruments speak. These new guys/girls do too much in my opinion. Still a great performance song wise just prefer the older Ghost.
Prince wrote the songs and recorded all the instruments, too, he also had a band...well actually two, the Revolution and the New Power Generation. They weren't considered expendable.
the fake keyboard solo was a little over the top... Normally when they do this keyboard solo it doesn't sound perfectly like the album and in this video it sounds exact and the ghoul is moving around all crazy... I wonder what that was all about.
Zachary Tomes No I know the whole band left and these are their replacements but this drummer looks and sounds different from the drummer that was on this past south American tour
It's Per Eriksson from Bloodbath and formerly from Katatonia. He is a skinny and small guy, also he is mainly a guitar player, so people don't actually associate him with playing bass and this generates some confusion with the former bassist Megan Thomas.
Is that a girl playing bass? They sound amazing but the visual presentation is lacking. Papa doesn't even look like the evil pope anymore WTF... It sucks what's happening with this band. I hope they don't end the band because of the fucking stupid legal crap.
Donald Lutkin Well i think the costume change for papa is because of the popestar ep. So papas looking more like a pop star i guess for that reason. Will probably go back to pope for their album next year.
Jason Speth dude just shut up you’re opinion is irrelevant if so why did you take your precious time to comment on this video the logic in that though 🤦🏻♂️
Papa E might just be the greatest front man currently working in rock music. Fantastic stage presence and a sense of humor. Can't wait to see what ole Tobias pulls out for Papa IV!
I came for the oil change. I stayed for Ghost.
Just saw Ghost with Iron Maiden in Lincoln. AMAZING PERFORMANCE. would recommend seeing live.
Psychopathic redruM That show was the crazy! The guitar tones were amazing
I can't believe nobody mentioned 3:25 where he does that really subtle right hand movement. Might just be my dirty mind but is it what I think he's doing?
LOL Glad I'm not the only perv who caught that as well LOL
Spicy Salsa yes. I've seen them 3 times(4 as of June 11)... And Papa is always doing that kind of stuff.
Look up Year Zero, and watch his gestures when they play live. Another good one is Ritual.
Yup! TOTALLY what you think it is!!! Love it! I just melt!
it is what it looks like just not what you think it is. Tobias is gay. so...
He's married with a son and daughter, hes so gay ;)
June 11th concert in Tampa FL was awesome.
They opened for Iron Maiden...Great Show
I'm a fan of Ghost now !
Square and on the level.
I was there. Great performances by both Ghost and Iron Maiden last night.
So pissed...I was HERE for Maiden over the summer, didn't know any of the opening acts at the time so I came just for Maiden's set, but later discovered Ghost to be one of my FAVORITE bands...I COULD'VE KNOWN SO LONG AGO
Shine On You Crazy Diamond!!!!!
Gumbo72203 is that a jojo reference
This was my first time seeing them live and I fell even more in love with Papa that night. ♥
Gotta love their style,and music.
They are amazing!
Best opening Act Iron Maiden have had since Alice Cooper in @2012, and I would say GHOST is probably the Best !!!
This 1st show was Awesome !!!...all around !
Hell no Megadeth was the best opening act -Ghost is lame compared to the them
Ghouling banjos?
Teddy Laska lol...Brilliant!
Perfect.
Thank you for this! I was there at the concert which was amazing, my first concert ever actually, but I was in the lawn so I was far away and my vision isn't the best so this helps. Plus I get to relive the experience :)
I was there! My first concert and it was awesome
Fire and Aether are AWESOME! But it's not the same without Alpha and Omega.
Great video ! I was so stoked to see Ghost open for Maiden! 🤘🏻
This sounds amazing!
I gotta say I didn't like them the first couple times I listened to them.. But.. I get it now they are amazing..
It was an awesome show
That was a great start to the song\w/

Bass player is getting into it, and nice to see Wind doing something other than sitting on their ass.
Ghost still sounds great(I've seen them live 3 times). But, those new players just don't have the same presence as the previous incarnation.
I think they just need time
I agree. These Ghouls are better
They have different personalities, but we haven't had time to get to know them. Alpha and Omega were there a good 6 years and saw the band rise in fame. If these guys are for keeps for a while then we'll get to know them soon.

thanks man !!great sound and picture!!!!thanks for sharring
great looking video!!
5:31 All those keyboards, and they STILL use canned organ after the synth solo.
My goodness the Ghouls are SO COOL!
The new guitarists just draw attention to themselves, whereas the old guitarists had "presence".
Oh hell, the way they start this is amazing.
bit of dueling banjos at the start. the reaction from the other guitar ghoul is priceless
Same band I heard 20 years ago!!
🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
why oh why can't I be the microphone stand from 3:09-3:30?!!!!
Same here...
One can dream 😪😍😍
Wow Charlie was right
Your camera has the best picture quality ever!
New drummer looks tall
Am I the only one who noticed that the keyboard continues to play even though the keyboard player is just sitting on his hands not touching anything? 5:21
it’s probably a backing track bc it’s right after his solo
Can I ask where you were seated when you took this video?
can i ask what kind of recording device you are using? My samsung S6 just isnt cutting it
0:37 .....Aww, come on man this ain't Kentucky!
What did you use to record this? Great video.
Do they perform at birthday parties? What about quencinerra’s
Everyone believed the frontman changed after each album. In reality, it is the gholus that changes...
What kind of video camera are you using?
I was actually really pleased with how well these new ghouls did. Im still wondering why the fuck they decided to make ritual the third song in their set

cujet probably a more realistic assessment.
Saw them on July 1st
i want a nameless ghoul mask!
Matt Sedlak they aren't that expensive
I wish i knew who the bassist is. Session musician or not. He/She kicks ass.
maximada2003 Per Eriksson from Bloodbath!
naa
shes long gone. this is a guy
Per 'Sodomizer' Eriksson at that!
they still playin the gibson RD? Those headstocks look different
Hagstrom Guitars
The Gibson RDs left the band with their owners, evidently.
Honestly this is a completely different vibe of ghost now
they pushed the visual easthetics but the sounds is so tame. Maybe the lyrics are profanatory, but i could easily see some first degree punk-rock there instead.
Anyone else here from most critical 😂
Hello There
:^)
literally here bc this was the first link I noticed searching "Jiffy lube ghost," and I'm honestly thrilled with the music. The group's energy seems awesome, with the feuding banjo jingle coming after the riff from Shine On You Crazy Diamond leading into their own song. Gotta check them out
Does anyone know who the drummer is
Dave Grohl
The new ghouls are too animated. The older ones had a creepy, quiet feel to them and let their instruments speak. These new guys/girls do too much in my opinion. Still a great performance song wise just prefer the older Ghost.
I was there lastnight..1st I've heard of them..Great Show...How they use same name if their all new
Singer is the guy who legally owns the band name and he's still there
He also wrote almost all of the songs and plays guitar and bass on most of the albums
Prince wrote the songs and recorded all the instruments, too, he also had a band...well actually two, the Revolution and the New Power Generation. They weren't considered expendable.
Paul Colton well that's prince and this is ghost
Thanks for the tip
the fake keyboard solo was a little over the top... Normally when they do this keyboard solo it doesn't sound perfectly like the album and in this video it sounds exact and the ghoul is moving around all crazy... I wonder what that was all about.
the rhythm is exact but the sound def isn’t lol and honestly if watch the mummy dust solo i think air is just really good in general
ghouls lost that creepy vibe the older ghouls had
Jeffrechaun Emeritus I think it was the seriousness they had while acting
they all got fired I know one of them
New drummer?
Sure looks like it
Kwame Brown New band all together
Zachary Tomes No I know the whole band left and these are their replacements but this drummer looks and sounds different from the drummer that was on this past south American tour
Yup , he's bigger than the drummer they just had a month ago
David Dale And his cymbals aren't as high
bassist looks like a girl?
a lot of people have been saying !!!
Dave G really?
It is a woman, not a girl! She use to play in White Zombie
It's Per Eriksson from Bloodbath and formerly from Katatonia. He is a skinny and small guy, also he is mainly a guitar player, so people don't actually associate him with playing bass and this generates some confusion with the former bassist Megan Thomas.
Guess that explains a lot, Do you know identities of rest of members? i already know Air (keyboard) is Zac Baird (ex-korn)
Como se extraña los antiguo alfa y omega estos nuevos son muy malos guitarristas
no fat ghouls?
They ladies arent fat🙃
PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND WATCH THE FUCKING SHOW!
what a brilliant joke.
these are all americans
Not the bassist.
The Singer is from Sweden
yes bassist is female
No
Absolute Meme God back then the bassist was female actually
月の猫 No, Megan left in 2016
Is that a girl playing bass? They sound amazing but the visual presentation is lacking. Papa doesn't even look like the evil pope anymore WTF... It sucks what's happening with this band. I hope they don't end the band because of the fucking stupid legal crap.
Donald Lutkin Well i think the costume change for papa is because of the popestar ep. So papas looking more like a pop star i guess for that reason. Will probably go back to pope for their album next year.
I hope so
I thought I saw a ghost. Booooooooo! These guys suck the big bed sheet.
Not as much as your comment though.
Jason Speth dude just shut up you’re opinion is irrelevant if so why did you take your precious time to comment on this video the logic in that though 🤦🏻♂️
You suck
