Ghost: The making of one of the greatest rock shows on Earth

An hour-long meet and greet session precedes each show on these American dates, providing those willing to pay for the privilege with a photo op with the figure Tobias suggests “you would never, ever, ever bump into on the street”.

These have led to rather profound encounters, too, with attendees sharing heartbreaking accounts of personal tragedy and the pivotal role Ghost’s music has played in them enduring their hardships. These moments touch the heart of the man beneath that inscrutable mask.

“It makes you humble,” admits Tobias of the things he’s been told. “I think it’s a therapeutic ritual before the show, because you get to know your fans. It’s a really good feeling to be close to them and find out who they are and what they like. A lot of them are very similar to me in what they’re interested in.”

Going back to the start of your solo chapter, you went into debut album stomachaches with the mindset of, ​‘I’m doing this record for me.’ Now, what – or who – is your solo music for?

​“Well, it’s funny… I would say up until 2020 then that holds true! I can’t, I guess, pander to anybody else – that’s a cardinal rule, and once you start doing that you’re already dead in the water. But now, because of 2020, a lot of opportunities have come in to write for other people, and that was something that I never really thought about doing before, but life has dictated what projects have come in. And I’ve found it to be a pretty intriguing and fulfilling undertaking. If nothing else it’s an exercise in how to write songs and music, and how to make people feel a certain way. With a project that just came in, they gave me an idea of, ​‘This is the type of song that we want, and this is what we would like you to convey. Can you write a song like that? Oh, and by the way, you have three days!’ And it’s like, ​‘Oh shit, okay!’ So you figure out how to do that: to write a song in a restricted amount of time that checks all these boxes. And hey, if it works out then they could want it and use it for something, but if not, whatever, it’s a song that I wrote. But I love the challenge of it…”

Has writing for other people taught you anything that you will take with you into future material?

​“Yeah, I think so. Different chord changes evoke different emotions, and I love playing with people that are from different backgrounds than I am, and even have different playing abilities. It makes your brain think in different ways. If you want to become a better basketball player, you should play with people that are better than you, or different from you. With anything that you want to get better at, you have to work those muscles and you have to train, and that kinda stuff throws a curveball and it makes it fun – sometimes you forget that you’re even doing work!”

I don’t know. Knowing Frank is writing music for other people makes me feel delighted for him, because I know how fundamental writing songs is to his very existence. I suppose that’s where his career path is naturally leading him, but knowing there’s potentially material out there that he wrote that isn’t going to be coming out from him makes me sad.
