Ghost - Phantom Of The Opera (Official Audio)

I just realized that the lyrics changed as well. In the original Iron Maiden song, the person singing uses "you" like: You're the Phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare But Tobias uses "I", like: I'm the Phantom of the opera, I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare. That's clever and I love it

I love Tobias forge so much, I wish Swedish people were real

This was nominated in the Grammy’s for best metal performance!!!

The Boss battle energy is unreal with this

The beauty of Ghost covers is that they always sound like a Ghost song while managing to also still sound like the original.

The guitars and bass tone are so good on this. I’m floored

If this isn't a love letter to Iron Maiden then i really don't know what is!

It takes guts to cover this. I am absolutely floored.

Nobody is talking about the fact that Tobias changed the perspective of the song in the lyrics from being the prey of the phantom to THE phantom himself!! This is the real genius about this cover!!!

Tobias Forge knows exactly what buttons to push. He has made Ghost one of the biggest rock bands around because of brilliant music, commercial know-how and everybody who has seen Ghost live, knows the man has 10 tons of charisma. The sky is the limit

Lyrics: I've been looking so long for you Now you won't get away from my grasp I've lived so long in hiding In hiding behind that false mask And I know that you know That I ain't got long now to last My looks and my feelings Are just the remains of my past. I'm standing in the wings there I wait for the curtain to fall In knowing the terror and holding I have on you all Yeah, you know that I'm going to scratch you And maim you and maul And you know you're helpless From my mesmerizing catcall. Keep your distance, walk away Don't take his bait Don't you stray, don't fade away Watch your step, he's out to get you Come what may Don't you stray from the narrow way. You're running and hiding In dreams, I'm always there I'm the phantom of the opera I'm the devil, I'm just out to scare I damaged your mind and your soul It just floats through the air I haunt you, I taunt you I torture you back at my lair.

I actually first discovered Ghost when they opened for Iron Maiden. I hadn't heard of them before and when I did hear them for the first time in concert I fell in love with their music. So amazing and I will love them forever! 🥰😀👻❤️

Imagine being a kid having never heard this tune. It would blow your mind and then you’d find the original and it’ll blow it all over again. Great work ghost keeping the game going 🤘😎

As a huge Maiden Fan, I just want to say how much I really enjoyed this cover. Thankyou Papa!

This is some of the most amazing visuals ive ever seen. Their entire image is beyond mesmerizing

Congrats to Ghost for the Grammy nomination for this brilliant cover

The fact they made the bass heightened in this makes this a MASSIVE respect to Steve Harris...Nothing but respect

My first time seeing Ghost was when they opened for Iron Maiden, this cover fills me with happiness and nostalgia :')

I love Iron Maiden. I love Ghost. This cover is absolutely awesome.

the production on this song is absolutely blistering
