If someone tried to call a jazz band classical, I’d be similarly annoyed with them. It’s not metal because it doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of the genre and doesn’t sound like metal. And no, that doesn’t mean they’re doing something new and groundbreaking. It means they’re calling themselves the wrong thing.
Now hold up. I like Ghost a lot, and play it regularly, but it’s just not metal. It’s great music, but not all great music is metal, just like nok all metal is great. It’s rock. There’s nothing wrong with it being rock. It doesn’t make you less of a man, or less hardcore to like rock.
My favorite metal band is Ghost
Don’t ratio me
I love my unpronounceable black metal bands and OSDM bands.
I also loved going to the Volbeat /Ghost concert a few years back. Variety is fun.
Hol’ up. Volbeat is playing concerts with their one single song?
lmao
That’s the one! Just gotta stretch those vocals out for a second or ten…
Why listen to Ghost when Trans-Siberian Orchestra already exists?
Love Ghost! Not my favorite, which is probably Gloryhammer, but still top five.
Why is iGhost disliked by metal fans?
You can like what you like, I just don’t think Ghost is Metal.
It’s hardly even metal if you look at it from atop some grindcore mountain.
Let’s be real, its pop rock, but that doesn’t make it less fun to listen to
It’s not even disliked, it’s just a running gag that Ghost’s subgenre is “Scooby Doo chase music”
It’s not disliked it’s just not a metal band

That’s as bad a take as the genre elitists.
Yeah this guy is either a troll or an idiot.

Resorting to homophobia. Classy.
