Another one on the topic of "Who is Ghost inspired by?".
King Diamond himself thinks Ghost sounds more like Blue Öyster Cult than his own band Mercyful Fate.

I love Ghost but afraid I just don’t get the BOC connection! Anyway I am off to see them for the first time next Wednesday (13th) in Glasgow so I will be able to do a comparison.

Davey, review the Ghost show. I will indeed! Really looking forward to seeing them. It’s in the same venue where you will be playing with BOC in October if the BOC/Deep Purple gigs finally get the go ahead! |

I’ve seen Ghost twice. I love the band - and I might hear snippets of things that may have been influenced by BOC here and there but - they also use a handful of outside writers to work with Tobias Forge - who’ve written pop hits for euro artists and some US artists. Almost like a Desmond Child situation…the results are great, but again I don’t hear a ton of BOC influence. I could be wrong though…

My brother has become a big Ghost fan. He always tells me they sound like BOC.

Ghost was on Jimmy Kimmel's show a few weeks ago. They only played one song, but I don't think they sounded like BOC. And they were all dressed in full costumes with masks. I prefer being able to see the performers.

Well Ghost were absolutely phenomenal in Glasgow last night. 110 minutes of pure brilliance!! One of the best shows I have had the pleasure of witnessing. I have some footage and photo’s but I can’t see a way to post them on here! Set list was a mixture from all the albums plus a very unusual version of Enter Sandman. As for the BOC comparison, I still don’t see it though the keyboards do, in places, remind you of Allen. It was an absolutely epic night. Tobias Forge has one of the best live voices I have ever heard and the sound was phenomenal to go along with a terrific stage show. If Ghost come close to where you are staying do not miss them….yes they are that good!!
