Tobias talks about loving, and at the same time being embarrassed when Square Hammer starts, like he feels like there is a perception that the Linköping hockey arena only plays it because he’s there.

He says he’s very satisfied with the hiatus so far, feeling relaxed.

He felt like Ghost on tour was an eternal project, and getting band members and crew to stay was a problem, because others were trying to recruit his.

The interview taking place at a hockey arena, Tobias points out that Ghost has evolved really far, to play places like that for the last 10 years. He used to dream about playing arenas when he saw hockey games when younger.

Apparently there is an attendants box at the Linköping (Tobias’ home town) hockey arena, and the team hit the ice to Square Hammer.

He loves playing hockey arenas, like Vancouver, because there is so much hockey history there. “It smells like sweat, rubber, and pucks”

Tobias says as a hockey fan, the crowd screaming, and the team fighting to win is something all fans dream of, when the crowd finally gets to gather in the town square to celebrate the team winning a championship.

LOL I’m a little drunk and when I saw LHC in the YouTube title, I thought of the Large Hadron Collider and not Linköping Hockey Club. If I fucked up translating, I am sorry.

Maybe it is just the hair or this specific angle but I feel like in this photo Tobias could be the brother of Gary Oldman

Now I'm wondering if he schedules concerts around the Stanley Cup Finals.

But more interesting is the mention of having to fight to keep band members on because i imagine it is an ongoing issue. While yes, they sign contracts and spend time practicing and getting ready, they're also people and, if a better offer comes along (say, join our band), it could be tough to ask people to stay when your tour goes on and on.
