The lead singer was very personable, interacting with the crowd, and telling stories (i.e. There were costume changes, a keytar solo (which is something that I never knew I needed in my life until I saw it – amazing!), a sax solo (yes, these are the reasons they don’t “fit” in a category), a guitar battle between two of the eight band members (Cardinal Copia and 7 Nameless Ghouls), the introduce the band segment (ladies and gentlemen: Ghoul!), Cardinal Copia’s alternate idea for what they should do instead of an encore song (let’s just say that it was very crude and funny and would have broken way too many city ordinances). Only Pearl Jam has ever matched something like that of all the bands I’ve seen. And to top it off they played for 2 hours and 45 minutes (with a 15-minute intermission!). ![]() They sound pretty much as they do on the albums. So definitely one of those shows where you were never going to be “out-of-place”. You had your 18 to 25-year-olds, you had your slightly older metal-heads, your Goth guys and gals, your more straight-laced people, families (mom, dad, and two 13ish daughters right beside me), and even those who dressed up and wore the face paint to match the band. But at the Ghost show, it was a true meeting of so many different types of people. Now enough time has passed that I’m the “older” guy in the back bobbing my head. ![]() I remember going to shows in my 20s where everyone in the place was around 18 to 25 and there would be the couple of “older” guys in the back bobbing their heads along with the music. And by having 8 people in the band (yes, 8!), it allows them to have a very “full” sound during the show. With Metal shows, you never know quite what you are going to get. Even when I was at the show itself, songs I’d only heard maybe 4 or 5 times were already in my head, and I found myself singing lyrics I didn’t even realize I’d known. They are definitely all those things, but as I told a guy at work, their stuff is very catchy… more so in my mind than a lot of the Metal I’ve listened to in the past (and still listen to). Here’s the thing about Ghost, they are a Dark Metal or Doom Metal or Heavy Metal Band… I’m honestly not entirely sure. A friend had asked if I wanted to go and seeing as how I had heard about 2 songs from them… I obviously said yes.
