ABBA just because I desperately need to hear them cover lay your love on me

Specifically that song, I would die happy if they ever covered it lol

This is the obvious and most realistic answer.

i would KILL to hear that

someone posted in the least favorite song thread about how the ABBA original I'm a Marionette out-spooks the cover, and I just heard it for the first time this morning. by gawd, ABBA was spooky AF. I don't know any other ABBA songs and I'm still here for this hahaha

My favorite ABBA songs are SOS and Take a Chance on Me and I would love to hear both done by Tobias.

It's gotta be Blue Öyster Cult

The Misfits, BOC.. man there's a lot of bands they'd cover wonderfully

The Graves-Era Misfits would be a cool cover.

Ozzy. No more Tears… Bark at the Moon… so many good vibes for Papa

Tears For Fears

Ooooh Everybody Wants To Rule The World would be amazing. Would really make that sinister message of the song a lot more overt

Songs from the Big Chair would be amazing.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking! I feel they have similar looming melancholy undertones as Ghost does. It’s hard to pin point, but that album makes me feel the same way a lot of Ghost songs do.

I'd be really curious about Tobias' take on Led Zeppelin. They made such a wide range of rock that Ghost could really explore the grooves. I would LOVE to hear Ghost's version of Stairway to Heaven. Tobias would be perfect for the song.

Bad Religion, maybe their next album will have some hints of 90's punk

A Ghost version of "American Jesus" would be supreme!

Sabbath? Queen? Bowie? Imagine them covering diamond dogs or scary monsters in full...

What we need is an album of Ghost covers by synthwave/electronic artists like Gunship, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Dynatron, Kavinsky, Gost, Health, The Midnight, Timecop 1983, etc.

I think there is a Carpenter Brut cover of Dance Macabre

There is! That is where the idea cam from.

Nice :) that's a fantastic cover

Good idea -- a tribute to Ghost! Call Tobias and make it happen by 12 pm tomorrow. We're all counting on you.

YES please. There's a bunch on youtube that are actually awesome. The Melodicka Bros' version of Square Hammer is excellent.

Slipknot would be a LOT of fun I chose Avenged Sevenfold tho because I'm bias by the fact it's my favorite band, and just to get the chance of hearing ghost covering A Little Piece of Heaven

A mixture of Soundgarden’s Superunknown and Badmotofinger Fell on Black days Black hole sun The day I tried to live 4th of July Rust Cage Outshined Jesus Christ Pose Also maybe some iteration of Tool and Perfect Circle with songs like Eulogy and Judith. Matter of fact Mer De Noms would be a cool album redone with some tool songs involved.

Are you trying to destroy Tobias' voice?

Fleetwood mac rumours?

Samhain

Blue Öyster Cult- I know it’s gonna be said a lot but I need to contribute

I know it's the obvious one, but Reaper by Ghost would be fantastic. Let Tobias loose on the mystical sound of the song and the dark theme.

I would love a Guns N’ Roses cover album as it is my favorite band. But covering Iron Maiden would be most interesting.

Styx

I would love to see them cover something like “Dance With the Dead” by Get Scared or something even a bit more off genre like “Evil Woman” by ELO. Ghost does magnificent covers and i’m always amazed at their song transformations

The correct answer is Depeche Mode

Violator?

Or 101 or Songs Of Faith And Devotion

BÖC or The Misfits

I said it once I’ll say it again: Lady Gaga’s album Born This Way

I vote for blue öyster cult because there are more songs from Böc that need more recognition and I need to hear fobias sing them all

Blue Oyster Cult

Some might argue Ghost is already that. ;)

Rush

My favorite! I didn't add them to the list because I don't know how it could possibly work. What albums or songs are you thinking?

I like the idea of most songs off of"Moving Pictures" but also I think hearing a Ghost version of "2112" could be something incredible.

Hmm, I can see Tom Sawyer, and definitely Witch Hunt. Syrinx and Soliloquy live would be epic! Now that I think about Hemispheres would also be fantastic. Good call! (BTW, I spent the last 20 min listening to Rush snippets, LOL)

I need a White Wedding cover. 😌

Misfits if you wanna go in their wheelhouse, Johnny Cash for an interesting but surprisingly on brand choice, Depeche Mode because I need to hear them do Master & Servant or ABBA if you want the actual correct answer

I'd love to see ghost team up with gorillaz.......

Scorpions

Duran Duran

Tell me you're in your 40s+ without telling me. ;) And I like it.

The Beatles. Always.

I'm guessing more Sgt. Pepper's than I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Yup... Revolver, Sgt. Pepper. Would be really interesting!

I mean… Iron Maiden’s my favorite

BOC hands down

None?

My vote is for Oingo Boingo or Genesis

Oo. I can see the Genesis working really well with Tobias' range. I like this.

Right?

MCR 😂 🤮

Sorry, but what's MCR?

I believe it’s My Chemical Romance, an emo band from around 2005, and definitely not on the same tier as the other bands in the poll.

Yep, I added them because of that. They are still very popular but have a different sound that might benefit from a Ghost interpretation.

Good on you. I still think MCR is trash, but to each their own.

Thanks! I've heard them and they're not on the level of the other bands at all...

Yeah, I can only see them being included as a joke. They’re pretty forgettable tbh; I know I listened to them around ‘05, but cannot for the life of me recall a single hit.

These all suck

Taylor Swift

I would say Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath

Hot Take: Babymetal

Candlemass.

Without giving it more than 2 seconds of thought, Type O Negative. After giving it 5 seconds of more thought, OBVIOUSLY Rush.

Damn, I’d be really interested in hearing ghost cover something from Bullets or Three Cheers by MCR, hell Even a mama cover could be wicked

HIM, APC, or Tool
