2017-06-08 by starboystargirl | 47 Comments
Ghost vocalist Tobias Forge has issued a statement in relation the the lawsuit filed against him by his band mates for unpaid wages.

In the lengthy statement, Forge explains that he is the sole songwriter for the band and the other members (known as nameless ghouls) are solely there to perform what he has written.

To quote: "The plaintiffs have neither contributed capital investments in the GHOST business nor been responsible to losses in the business. Tobias Forge has exclusively held decisions and control of the operations of GHOST.

The plaintiffs have only had the task of performing - executing - the musical works and the image in GHOST that Tobias Forge has created, produced and decided, all according to Tobias instructions. For their assignment, the candidates have received a fixed fees / salary."

So, he writes the music and hires people to perform his music, but doesn't pay them what they deserve and treats them as disposable? Sounds like an arrogant dick.

It depends. If he is the sole true member, he can carry on on his own.

Well the next album will test that. If it's good, that means Tobias was telling the truth, if it blows then he's lying. Excited either way.

"So he even writes the drum parts? I doubt it."

Good point, he probably didn't even write the guitar parts since he does vocals and everyone knows you're only allowed to pick 1.

This whole situation is a great shame. The last Ghost album was incredible. I just want more quality music from the guys who put Meliora together. All this hogwash and ego is getting in the way of art.
