    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.

    Love Ghost! Not my favorite, which is probably Gloryhammer, but still top five.

    Why is iGhost disliked by metal fans?

    Because Ghost is not going crazy with solos, screeching/belching/barking lyrics out, isn't recording their material in some hollowed out and echoed building somewhere. They also aren't catering to lyrics about how it'd be a wonderful day to be devouring some flesh and fucking the eye sockets of a skull. But you wouldn't know that with the vocalist doing said belching/barking/screeching lyrics until you read what the song is about.

    So basically, Ghost is not liked because it's not catering to metal edgelords.

    The downvotes prove me right. :)

    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.

    That’s as bad a take as the genre elitists.

    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.
