I'm not big into metal at all, but was talked into seeing this show in Denver tonight and I couldn't be any more thankful. Amazing show. Great talent and performance. I will definitely be seeing them again. Anyone else into them?

    They're opening for Iron Maiden in ten days. I'm definitely thinking about going. You think they're worth checking out?

    i saw them for the first time with maiden on 7/12. i was completely blown away. i think those guys are the future of metal. everything about the show was great. the costumes, the methodical way papa emeritus interacted with the crowd and calmly walked around the stage, the stage setup and backdrop, and the music was great. i had never heard any of their music until last wednesday and now i am hooked.

    this if from the show I saw. I love the :21 second mark where papa emeritus points to someone in the crowd and goes "you too, fat guy!!"  i almost spit out my beer when he said it.

    You nailed it! Awesome to hear you enjoyed it. The Nameless Ghouls are also extremely talented. Now you just have to seen them in a non-opening show. Saw my first show in Denver where they headlined a small venue about 2 weeks ago and now I'm totally hooked too. Looking forward to future music and shows from them.

    yeah next time i will catch them as headliners. i notice that on this maiden tour, maiden takes a couple of days off in between shows. ghost has been playing shows in other cities in between maiden shows and then meeting back up with maiden for their shows. those guys are working hard. i looked it up and they played in st louis in september as headliners, and are here opening for maiden 10 months later. it looks as if they have been here yearly going back to 2013. will definitely catch them next time.

    i think you will dig them. they were refreshing. I wish i had seen them indoors where it could be dark. They went on at about 7:30 or 7:45 so it was too bright outside to get the full light show, as you can see from the pics i posted.

    ah man that is awesome!! what did you think??

    was this last night's show? if so, you saw the final appearance of papa emeritus III on us soil. He is going to be papa emeritus IV when the new record comes out.

    also, rumors of a live album out by christmas. 

    i have been following some of the facebook ghost fan pages and they are a lot like our community. they travel from city to city and help each other get tickets, etc.

    i am a big fan of these guys at this point.

    I listen to them and liked the studio stuff to a point. 

    Last night was amazing. Absolutely amazing. 
    The showmanship and theatrics of the whole band was great. Very interactive with the crowd. 

    So the music. 

    Was soooooo much better live! I am a huge fan now. If they are around I'm going. What a great show!!!

    the music was much heavier than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. 

    So Papa and the Ghouls have a new fan now. A big fan.
