It's hilarious to me that people on this website are shitting on Ghost for having a "gimmick".

What do you think Eddie is?

Just because a band has a gimmick doesn't mean there's no substance to the music. It just might not be to your personal taste.

Ghost don't have a gimmick, they are a gimmick. Slipknot have a gimmick, but they're still about their style of aggressive music. The music (I hate them) is the focus and the important part of the show.

Ghost are just a gimmick band with simple, straightforward music, like KISS or Rammstein.

There is some serious music elitism going on here.

It's not elitism. It's an opinion and taste, two things that differ in every person.

To me KISS are no more a serious band than The Darkness or bloody Spinal Tap. They're a joke designed to sell comic books, lunch boxes and action figures.

Opinions don't have to converge. Everyone has them, and they often differ. I find twatty bands like Ghost repugnant, cheesy rubbish that cater to the simple, straightforward, non-album oriented Spotify randomised artist playlist consuming kids who just want to nod their heads to an earworm. So what?

Opinions can reek of elitism, especially when you matter-of-factly label a band as simply being a gimmick.

This is a splendid example of acting like a music elitist.

"I find twatty bands like Iron Maiden repugnant, cheesy rubbish that cater to the simple, straightforward, Devil-worshipping kids who just want to nod their heads to an earworm. So what?"

That sounds like things like conservative (music elitist) parents would say in the 80s. Congratulations.

I think the main difference between Ghost and Kiss is that Tobias can actually write good songs.

Sure the discussion of the pros and cons of the stage make a good side quest. I will still say the main issue with the tour is the band performing songs that Bruce can’t do justice anymore. I won’t go into more detail, as I will get a slap on the wrist.

I’ll go back to sitting in the back row…

Well just the one song he struggles with that i`m aware of and it`s been done to death on here. Great song , great video backdrop great singalong for the crowd, if that`s the only issue i`m happy .

You talk some fucking shit. YOU insert the term "devil worship" and then say I sound like a conservative.

Anyway, my opinion is as above. I don't give a shit what you want to label it, some music is shit to me (just as some music is shit to someone anywhere else). I don't understand how you think some who says another band is crap is being elitest. It's just a matter of my personal taste.
