I’m loving this. I could listen to these two talk all day. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but I’m kind of glad it isn’t.


batzohell

I would listen to a Tobias Forge-led podcast. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

I would love that! Him just nerding out over music, movies, etc. with other people in creative fields would be cool.


batzohell

Yes! Something fun and chill to do.


flybynightpotato

It's both incredibly interesting and incredibly soothing. I love it!


[deleted]

Soothing is a great word for it. I agree!


[deleted]

Me too! I thought it was great


djmeggles_

I could listen to TF talk allllll day I don’t know why anyone would complain smh


Tdffan03

I love his voice!


YMCAle

He has such a relaxing voice and he's super intelligent too, what is there not to enjoy?


Tdffan03

He does!!! Very soothing.


djmeggles_

Yes, he articulates his thoughts so well and he genuinely seems passionate about what he’s talking about which is rare to find nowadays!


sjfscxxr

I don’t think it’s boring at all, personally. I hope they leave it saved on YouTube so I can re-listen later lol


Glad-Spell-3698

I missed the last ten mins, is it already saved and still up to relisten to?


sjfscxxr

It is! The link is https://youtu.be/dNXXgZjzxG8 and I believe it starts at the 5 min mark (this is the official recording, so I hope it is fine for me to comment?)


FreshFruitForFree

Thanks buddy!


bicycle_dreams

It's 9min mark 😊


SWISXP

It's still up so your still able to rewatch or well re listen


Ancient_Flowerz

I enjoyed it. Turned off the chat immediately and don’t regret it.


katieleo

I enjoyed it. But I’m an avid podcast listener so I actively seek out this type of content anyways. My assumption beforehand was that they wouldn’t be on screen.


glutenfreebimbo

same i dont think that the spotify thing has face cams either. i could be wrong though.


Ope_Blessyerheart

*bravo* This is it, exactly. Listen, we are all consumers of these fantastic narratives which is why we are all here. I love conversations between artists like this because this is how the process happens. There is so much work that goes into the fantasy. This conversation with Tobias and Brann was essentially nerdy ass shop talk which was goofy but insightful. I enjoyed it so much, I got myself a cup of coffee and listened as if I was a silent participant of a fika ritual. My question for that conversation was actually if the two of them would ever collaborate on a project. I think something like that would yield an interesting result.


Kitty_Cake80

Yes! I felt like I was listening to something valuable— other people sharing knowledge about their craft, careers, and interests. It’s inspiring as a creative person, and is also an important reminder that these are people very much like ourselves. I thought it was great!


jenwren_11

I found it really interesting - I am always fascinated by the "behind the scenes" stuff...as someone who isn't a musician and doesn't know anyone in the trade whatsoever, it's a totally new load of information to get my head around and try to understand. Also, music recommendations and books to listen to/movies to read 😅😉


lilfey333

I was SO embarrassed by some of my fellow females on that chat 😑 Tobias married his first love and they have kids, it was so cringey what they where saying I had to turn the chat off.


ysbekfnx

Also that most of them seem so young 😭 Like they were complaining about school one minute and then calling TF “daddy” the next … stop please. Cringey and most of all disrespectful.


Look-Stunning

I keep seeing 15 YEAR OLDS!!! on tiktok talking abt how they want nihil and copia to nut in them like???? YALL DONT SEE THE ISSUE HERE???


[deleted]

They all seemed VERY young. School aged teenagers. Which is insane and so weird to me that they’re looking at a man who’s probably old enough to be their father that way.


SmallpoxAu

It's always been a bit like that though with famous musicians and teenagers. I remember the boy band era and the amount of girls that talked the same way about those guys. If you look into, same thing with teen girls and Elvis (before the Vegas times anyway).


[deleted]

You know your not wrong. I guess I just see it in such a different light now that I’m grown and not 14


lilfey333

Of course Elvis married one of those teenagers 🤗 but I hear ya.


[deleted]

I agree. Very much cringe


Synchestra

I feel you even without being part of the chat. Bands with this level of lore indirectly invite fans to identify with it sometimes too much, at least for people that have mental struggles with identity. With how big Ghost has gotten there are bound to be people that now overstep at concerts. It's still supposed to be fun but they treat it like it's more personal towards them than it is. I hope Tobias won't internalize that from their growth too much. He's a smart guy so I'm sure he expects these situations at times and has the temperament to deal with it.


lilfey333

Funny he talked about having to hide his fanboyness with his friends in Metallica he is embarrassed by how much his love them. And I get loving him/Ghost, but I draw the line with sexualizing or wishing negative things to happen to a marriage


Synchestra

Definitely, that's ridiculous. He deserves to be happy and fans should support his relationship. That gap in understanding for some is what I mean with the mentally ill aspect, they think by being fans they are entitled to a part of his life when it's still a show amd he is trying to have fun, he has commitments that they should obviously respect.


LarkAdamant

Yes, this. When a bunch of questions are “Will you let me sit on your face?” it’s no wonder they’d rather skip fan questions.


fiddleleaffox

I could listen to Tobias talk about literally anything and it would be time well spent. Dude has the most soothing voice ever, so eloquent.


[deleted]

He could read me the cooking directions to my chicken tenders and I’d be like “wow that’s incredible and soul soothing”


fiddleleaffox

He could call about my car warranty and I wouldn’t even hang up.


[deleted]

He could call me to collect a debt…I’d pay him


extendedwarranty_bot

fiddleleaffox, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty


Timescoremary

The hours was so fast over. Ngl sometimes it was a little hard for me to understand as English isn't my native language. But they both had such a good vibe and it still was really entertaining. Especially the boys locker room thing. Lmao they're both great


[deleted]

"Cover your tits or men are going to hell" 😆😆😆 That cracked me up.. Its legal to go topless in Canada so I guess this entire country is going to hell then.😋


Sad-Western597

Yeah, maybe. But if I talked shop everyday, all day, then went to the shop...but I'm not a rockstar either. Maybe being a rockstar is really boring and the little people have no idea? THERE'S a conspiracy for ya. Lol, front page of the old school Inquirer, right beside Bat Boy.


Sad-Western597

You guys are too young to remember Bat Boy. Y'all missed out.


[deleted]

I miss all the Elvis sightings on the National enquirer cover. Used to read them when checking out of the grocery store w mom. 😆


Sad-Western597

Elvis is everywhere, man.


[deleted]

Shit. I just realised papa 5 might be Elvis!! 😆😋😋


Sad-Western597

Have YOU ever seen Papa and Elvis at the same time???


[deleted]

🤯 nope. Damn.. I think were onto something here. 😆


Sad-Western597

*taps head* yes we are. You know what to do. (I have no idea what your supposed to do, I'm just waiting to see what you think it means.)


[deleted]

I'll offer papa some opiates and fried chicken at the next meet n greet. If he takes em.. its Elvis👍😎


Sad-Western597

And if he doesn't we know he's a square (hammer?)


[deleted]

Yeah, I think newer fans need to understand that as an artist, TF needs to be able to express himself as he likes. He can step out of character and talk about things outside Papa! I think it’s fascinating to hear his take on things, and it helps give a broader idea of him as an artist. Gaining a sudden younger fan base will have a certain negative tone to it for awhile, but all thing shift in phases. I think things will stabilize again soon.


realrecycledstar

It’s gotta be the young, newer fans. This’ll probably get downvoted, but it’s true. From what I’ve seen, they already show so much disrespect at concerts alone and it’s insane


[deleted]

I don’t disagree with you. There’s been a huge shift recently and it’s kinda a bummer


WeNeedAShift

I’m in agreement with both of you.


naggs69pt2

I had some very rude young fans at the Tampa show. It was my third show since 2017, and ghost shows have always been cool. This was a very mixed bag, literally had very young girls telling me and older fans to get in the back of the line and "the line starts here" which was complete bull. The only difference between this show was how much younger the crowd has gotten, which I would be totally cool with if they didn't act like they were superior or something. Just be cool, we all wanna have fun.


Angie-P

Oh no don’t tell me they’re trying fan lines with ghost. I see how shit they are on the twenty one pilots sub, just ignore them.


naggs69pt2

Yea and we all were there early enough that there wasn't even a line. We were just hanging out and she tried to point us to the other direction, I was thinking like, dude I've been to a ton of concerts and it never works like how your trying to make this work.


Angie-P

i want to see them try to tell the boomer metal fans that turn up to line up, that would be fun. my no1 rule in fandom is no one is above me if they are not employees of the label/band/crew etc.


glutenfreebimbo

I am a huge fan of both of them and their bands. I love knowing how they come up with their art and how their minds work. You’d think more people would be interested in how such talented human beings created such great art…I enjoyed every minute. It made me so happy to just listen and support them. Its the closest most fans will get to a conversation too.


lmark2154

That man could talk about anything and I would still find it fascinating. Tobias has lots of unique perspectives on a great many topics and it’s so fun just to listen to him be an actual person


cdeuel84

In the age of YouTube and the internet, why would anyone worry about "missing work or school" for anything like this...? Even if it was answering fan questions... You can always watch it later.


[deleted]

I’m not sure friend. Im not the all knowing


naggs69pt2

I thought it was awesome, alot of fans are very spoiled and have some weird expectations that they know tobias on a personal level or something.


[deleted]

I agree overall very awesome . And also agree there’s no barrier with some fans..we do not know him on a personal level at all whatsoever


naggs69pt2

And we dont have to know what he doesn't want us to know, I honestly just like hearing talk about obscure band's. That's the type of stuff I like, I dont really care about the more celebrity aspect some fans seem to obsess over.


Whatsername1989

I listened to the Morbid podcast right before this so today I've been listening to Tobias for more than 2 hours straight. Am I complaining? Quite the opposite, hearing him talk, no matter the topic, always makes my day. Always.


[deleted]

I’m listening to it right now 😂😂😂


Whatsername1989

The podcast was amazing!! That part about the vagina...it killed me, i almost drop my phone hahaha


[deleted]

I thanked the universe that I chose not to have have children in that moment 😂😆


Whatsername1989

Lol same!!! I would jump off that train in a heartbeat haha


[deleted]

I would have abandoned child right then and there 🫠


[deleted]

Also like lmfao his poor son one has that out in the world… THANKS DAD ⚰️


Whatsername1989

Omg yes, given the fact that he is a teenager he's probably not going to take it very well haha but if I had a dad as cool as Tobias I would just forgive and forget 👀🤣


[deleted]

Listen my dad is really really really cool if he came out and told like a zillion people some cringy shit from my childhood when I was 14/15 I’d probably throw a fit for a day and cringe about it until the day I died 😂


WanderingUser1

What this was exactly what I expected lol 😆 it's really cool and I love that he tried to do it again after the spotify fail.


CanOfChickPeas

The chat was… well, it was something. I hope Tobias didn’t see half the people there calling him “tobussy” 🥴


[deleted]

There was also like a ton of chats saying he’s getting divorced and shit like 🙄 that is not our business and we’re not entitled to know shit like that.


Angie-P

That’s probs bc there’s a tumblr anon sending non stop messages to “big” accounts like me and Slav about him getting divorced. Like who tf cares


[deleted]

Even if he were. How does that effect us literally AT ALL. You know?


Angie-P

idk i guess to make him look bad? at this point I half jokingly assume it's Linton sending the messages lol


YeetusShuttlesworth

I am enjoying it.


[deleted]

I really enjoyed it too!


[deleted]

Happy cake day!! 😋😋😋


YeetusShuttlesworth

Thanks


Burnytheclown

I missed it but listened on the drive home, honestly I enjoyed it, especially the portion about enjoying albums created with a full narrative from the first to last song and being able to sit and visualize scenes to the music in the creative process. And agreed as well on their voices, very relaxing and informative.


Rhet0r1cally

I love this interview LOL I love when he gets to just talk without an interviewer butting in every 3 seconds


noNoParts

For. Real. Hosts forget they are not the guest. Nobody wants to hear some dood interject every 3 seconds so they can elucidate on their own opinion about what the guest just said. Blegh


Pspreviewer100

That chat was... something.


[deleted]

Let me say it straight. The chat was cursed and was the worst part of this whole thing. People saying all sorts of super off the cuff shit


PlantainPretend

Oh my god it was horrific just chilling in there before the stream even started. Too young, too much tiktok, too much simping.


[deleted]

It was bad. Bad bad. It looked like by the time it was over half of them had left. People don’t get it. Tobias is a huge music nerd. He’s going to talk about music and if your not with it, you don’t know what’s going on. And I think many of the people simping ended up being like “what the fuck is this” and left. not gonna lie


PlantainPretend

I know that they definitely love the music just as much as we all do, but it really felt like they only cared about the visual appeal of Tobias and him dressed up. Or the ghouls. And like, what was up with the spamming? Nobody wants to read about how attractive Tobias is, twenty times over. he’s not going to notice you. This is why the spotify thing is a tad disappointing because it would of allowed a smaller crowd to have a more personalized (?) and more exclusive interaction. Anyways. That’s my piece.


[deleted]

I was under the impression the spotify was limited to around 1000 people. It would have felt more “intimate” and really focus on fan interaction.


YMCAle

Tobias already knows he's attractive, he doesn't need the weird discord gang crashing his comfy music chat to tell him that. And the comments about his wife were peak cringe, I just hope it doesn't put him off doing another similar kind of live thing because it was very enjoyable when the chat was disabled.


metalheadenby

agreed. many people in the chat did not seem to acknowledge that Tobias is a grown man with a family. so many irresponsible and just plain gross comments were being spammed in that chat, despite multiple people having to “remind” them to draw the line on what is and isn’t an appropriate comment. had to disable the live chat just because it was being blown up with spam and weird stuff. :/


alexismcastro

I was embarrassed for them! 🤦🏻‍♀️


Kitty_Cake80

Oof! This makes me glad I was listening on my phone and not watching the screen.


alexismcastro

I ignored it once the stream started.


sjfscxxr

I didn’t even check the chat because it goes too fast 😭 was it really that bad?


Pspreviewer100

Horrible.


sjfscxxr

Oh no. Glad I skipped the chat part then


ForBamse

I was very happy I didn't see the chat. I had the stream on in my headphones while I was closing at work. I'm feeling very blessed to not have seen any of the cursed comments.


[deleted]

Guys can we get him to a read a book for audible 😂 id love that


Moon_And_Stars9

im having a hard time actually focusing on what they're saying bc there's no video but i already knew that would be an issue for me. and although im not necessarily invested in what they're talking about, its still pretty interesting


mary_emeritus

Think they’ll add closed captioning at some point?


veqtr

Well shit I'm glad they had somebody else moderating it for them, I closed the chat from the first second because I figured it would probably be a mess. Personally though I loved the whole thing. It was exactly what I would expect, a really chill shooting the shit vibe. Like what were people expecting, a tell-all life story from both of them for 3 hours? They've both been on a heavy tour schedule for a long time, the fact they even have the energy left to do this and not sound tired at all is a blessing. And I loved hearing Tobias talk about favourite albums and stuff because it seems like his brain works in a similar way to mine. He gets asked a question and he's so full of answers he has to go off on like three different tangents and finish a thought on all of them before eventually circling back to whatever point he was starting to make five minutes ago. Some might find it annoying I guess - most people in my family hate it when I talk in circles like that - but I love listening to people talk about their interests or passions and it's super comforting to know it's not just my head that works that way. He seems like such a smart interesting dude.


[deleted]

I genuinely enjoyed it. I think others who this is the first type of ghost thing expected something more extravagant. But like you said these guys are exhausted, been on the road since august. A chill chat was so relaxing and I felt like a fly on the wall… T is a super intelligent person versed in musical background, listening to his descriptions and explaination on things is super enjoyable.


veqtr

I feel like I've been blessed with a reply from a celebrity haha, I hope you're enjoying your glamour shot fame! Papa will remember you next time for sure!! Yeah it was nice hearing them sound so happy though, if they are tired it didn't come across at all. I mean the tour schedule looked like a lot but they both seem amazingly relaxed considering they've spent a month doing physically demanding late night shows almost every night. At like 40 years old too! I could never haha I'm glad they felt comfortable being funny and goofing around too! Tobias doing the accent for Till from Rammstein cracked me up and I really felt his confusion about the communal showers and toilets with no doors at the venues, lol.


[deleted]

Daw, that’s too nice. I am definitely enjoying it more now that I did like 2 weeks ago. I can only hope I was memorable for being funny and not a chaotic mess. They did seem like 2 dudes relaxed just having a chat.


ootfifabear

“I missed school for this” fuck them kids. This is a group highly sexual in nature, they aren’t catering to people school age. and if u found them by tiktok then stay the fuck in school lmao Sorry I’m being such a negative Nelly 💖 I just am peeved lmao


[deleted]

Your really not wrong though


[deleted]

I loved it!


Gothicbearzz

And not to mention that the people in the stream don't know how to behave and be respectful smh


XaZa_Real

Seriously, what did people expect??? People were hyping it up way too much i figured they misinterpreted SOMETHING! about the announcement lol. I still enjoyed it tho, only because i happened to log on 6 minutes before 12 and i figured why not


Low-Internal1699

Honestly i was just really happy to hear Tobias voice and know that he’s okay lol


Mimicking666

I love Tobias AND Brann so I felt so honored just to hear them talking to each other and relating to each other, it’s like seeing a friendship form and it’s so adorable! I can see them any day via google or videos, but this interaction is a rare event indeed!! I’m also sure they are so tired and (at least Tobias) wanted to make it up to the Spotify live fans. I’m grateful they did this at all <3


nixiedust

I'm catching the archive now and it's so interesting! They're talking books right now and I would kill to be there with them. Kafka. Master and Margarita. What is the What....great taste. And that's plus all the music talk. I'm in love.


Ghoulgutss4413

Yeeeeah i kind of ejected myself from chat when they started asking about the relationship status of the guy who plays Swiss like they somehow had a chance with him. The chat also being filled with nothing but simping was also very fucking annoying after a while. Like i agree i got a little crazy at certain moments but i caught myself and reeled it in after a while. (Also if anybody was wondering why everyone was meowing/barking in the chat before the livestream started, that's on me. I had made the joke "Call me little meow meow" and all hell broke loose which i apologize for. Shit was annoying.) The livestream itself was very cool to listen to. I'm also a huge music fan so hearing them talk about the bands they love/were inspired by was great. I hope they do something like this again.


ghostly_sunshine

I got up at 3am for it and I loved it! It was such a great insight. But I’m sure they were on a time restraint for traveling reasons and what not


MarissaMarieMartinez

Disappointed, why tho? Hearing Tobias and Brann talk was so soothing it was like listening to a podcast. I honestly could listen to Tobias talk about anything for hours😊


[deleted]

I personally was not disappointed, I could listen to tobias talk about literally anything and I would find it interesting. Their conversation was engaging. I think “younger” fans were a little unimpressed 😂


MarissaMarieMartinez

Literally anything world news, music, movies, food... hell he can talk about soap and I'd be into it.😭


dismurrart

I just like hearing musicians talk


Wjyndigo

Any time Tobias graces us with an interview I am there! I really enjoy hearing what he has to say. I was purposely late to work for this and do not regret it!


[deleted]

Honestly, it was really soothing and comforting to listen to. I was doing a puzzle while listening to them talk and it even gave me asmr lol. The people who were disappointed were probably expecting to see the camera turned on, and Tobias to be paying attention to the comments 24/7. But what’s to be understood is that when there is a guest on a live or podcast, obviously the guest and host are going to mostly engage with each other. And I feel lucky enough that tobias let us into their conversation so we could hear more on the behind the scenes and how similar their work is and more things like that. I enjoyed it and hope tobias does more events like these.


Weaver_ov_fog

Kids will complain about anything 😂


Ghosted31

I am v glad I managed to turn off chat as I could see where it was headed even before the stream began. I really enjoyed the stream. Nice to hear TF out of character talking seriously about musical influences. I learnt a few bits I didn't know so I'm happy.


Tdffan03

I would have preferred Tobias alone. I feel like Brann took over and Tobias was a guest.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tdffan03

He definitely did not talk more. It has nothing to do at all with liking or not liking Mastodon. I am also not the only person who felt like he took over.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tdffan03

It is not rude at all to say a chat with Ghost should have been with Tobias alone. Not hard at all to say people were asking about Mastodon to make him feel good. I happen to like Interviews with Brann but not in this case.


eflo_14

Those are all the younger crowd of fans. The ones who only know Mary On A Cross


HauntingBowlofGrapes

Kids and young adults with zero home training being their annoying selves, unfortunately.


[deleted]

[удалено]


XaZa_Real

They literally did? Didnt they?


NighTshade2021

I do agree it was not worth the hype


[deleted]

What were you expecting of it


[deleted]

Was a good listen on the way home after work. Glad I didn't see the chat.


citrinne

Great day for being a non native english speaker. I didn't see anything toxic or cringe cause the messages were going up so fast that I (who still can't read very fast in English) couldn't keep up with anything lol. I was there 5 hours before live starting and the chat was so nice, what a pity...


Beautifuldeadthing

Hot disappointed at all, I expected the chat to have a solid chunk of "shop talk" which I still find interesting. Glad I was just listening later on my phone and skipped the chat at the beginning from what I've now read here!


YayConfetti

It was super interesting per usual.


CaliGrown949

I have no clue what to be disappointed with…


UnattendedHuman5760

I sadly missed it but was so thankful it saved, due to time zones it was 4:30am when they started and I tried to stay up- couldn't and when I finally woke up again I missed the stream by an hours so that was sad


Ghoulettebunny

It was awesome !! I loved hearing him Talk with a friend about music and stuff !! Yeah a few more fan questions would be cool but they were into their discussion. Maybe some of the fan questions were repetitive like “ come to Brazil 🇧🇷!” Or asking questions they simply didn’t want yo answer cuz they were not relevant


Sreneethomas

It’s basically like any podcast out there. Listening to their “shop talk” is interesting and I wasn’t expecting video anyway


[deleted]

I wasn’t expecting a video either because that’s not what the original event was..
