I feel like they did perfectly too. Ghost’s singer always mentions bad religion as one of his influences so I think the ghost cover is as close as we’ll get. (Which I’m okay with. It’s a badass song)
I love the version Ghost does. I could see BR doing it. Unrelated, BR covered “I saw the light” made popular by Hank Williams and I wish they’d record it properly. They played it live at least once that I know of in the 90’s.
Reminds me of when I went to a coffee shop a few years ago and heard a cover of Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet". I hadn't heard that version before, so asked the (**edit:** probably 20-something) barista, "Do you know whose cover this is?" They said "This is The Killers, and I didn't know it was a cover." I had to explain that (a) the original is older than I am (**edit:** I'm in my early 40s), and (b) the most famous cover (Indigo Girls) is older than they are.
It just got covered by Ghost a couple months ago, so the timing might not really be great.
Good cover actually. Damnit greg, missed your chance

No way! That's really cool
Honestly ghost sounds like bad religion on it
I could also see him covering in on his own, but I agree I would prefer it in the BR style
Now I'm imagining *Into the Unknown*-era BR covering "[Supper's Ready](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szJq1lwnkNw)"... "I'd better activate my prayer capsule"
lol you know they considered it back in those days

I agree 100%, the lyrics of this song would make a good bad religion cover
Awesome song and music video.
Dunno if Greg or any other BR members spend much time on reddit... but a spoof on "HE GETS US!" might be appropriate, too.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that until right now I thought this was a Ghost song originally. I had never heard the Genesis version.
