Ghost's Biggest Influences Are ABBA and The Beatles

(TeamRock Radio) One of Ghost's Nameless Ghouls says ABBA and The Beatles are the band's biggest influences. Ghost last year released the If You Have Ghost EP featuring cover versions of tracks by ABBA, Army Of Lovers, Depeche Mode and Roky Erickson.

They have also previously recorded a cover of The Beatles' Here Comes The Sun. And the Ghoul says the band are unlikely to ever cover a heavy metal track because it would be too obvious.

The Ghoul tells Alternative Nation: "Covering an artist that sounds similar to your own band doesn't make any sense. That's already out there, so why not take another song and paint it with your own colours?

"We listen to all kinds of music. I don't think we will ever do a heavy metal cover. We love those songs and some of the bands as well. ABBA and The Beatles are probably our biggest influences."
