whats everyone's fave part about bands that really go all out with the costumes and stage stuff? like the whole story vibe vs just music. gets so hype right? so cool to see a character develop through albums too lol
Oh absolutely, Ghost is practically the gold standard for theatricality! That's what hooked me from day one. Remember back when Papa Emeritus I first emerged? The whole 'Nameless Ghouls' thing was so mysterious, and every new Papa felt like a huge event with a new chapter in the lore. It's not just the music; it's the whole narrative that Tobias has built from day one, like a rock opera unfolding with each album cycle. I especially miss the raw, eerie charm of the early Papas – there was such a specific sinister vibe to their costumes and stage presence that felt truly unique before the whole 'Prequelle' era leaned into the more accessible rockstar persona. Still love it, but man, those early rituals hit different! 🤘
