Ghost Has A Pope Vs. Pope Penis Measuring Contest

Metal Injection correspondent Robert Pasbani recently interviewed one of those nameless ghouls from Ghost and asked all you needed to know about the band in 2015.

The ghoul responded to questions about how "new" vocalist Papa Emeritus III is fitting into the band compared to his "predecessor." The ghoul also goes into in-depth detail about the recording process for the band's new record, "Meliora" (streaming in full right here by the way) as well as Kerry King's recent statement that he likes the band's image but not the music.

In what you wanted to know most, however, the ghoul describes the unique way in which Pope Francis resolved a parking dispute with Papa Emeritus that resulted in a Ghost show getting cancelled. Excerpts follow (full video below).

Metal Injection: Does the Pope fear Ghost?

A Nameless Ghoul: Well there was definitely a battle that was going on backstage, behind the scenes. I’m not sure if everybody knows about but do you know how they ended up solving it?

Metal Injection: No, how?

A Nameless Ghoul: They had a penis measuring contest!

Metal Injection: A penis measuring contest? Between whom?

A Nameless Ghoul: Frankie and Papa III.

Metal Injection: So between the Pope and the Papa. So did "Frankie" have the bigger penis? Is that what you’re saying?

A Nameless Ghoul: Apparently! So that’s how it ended and it’s not fun to say.

Metal Injection: Were you present for this?

A Nameless Ghoul: I was not. This was the last [straw]. They had to resolve this. Our Papa didn’t even know that Frankie was coming. He thought all of things going on around town was for [Ghost].
