About this listen

What happens when iconic bands change their sound—or outlive their prime? In this deep-dive roundtable, we explore the evolution of Ghost’s music and how their latest album echoes shifts made by legends like Kiss, Van Halen, and Metallica. Is their new pop-leaning sound a betrayal or bold reinvention?

We also reflect on:

  • How bands like Aerosmith, Motley Crue, and The Cult navigated change (for better or worse)
  • The debate over long songs vs. short anthems
  • The physical toll of aging rock stars on stage presence and legacy
  • Ghost’s theatrical imagery, fan engagement, and storytelling
  • The enduring appeal of vinyl and music collecting
  • Mixed feelings on Guns N’ Roses’ legacy

Whether you’re a die-hard Ghost fan or a classic rock aficionado, this convo spans decades of music evolution, identity, and what it takes for a band to stay iconic.
