There's definitely something very special about that band. Don't get me wrong, I love King's solo stuff, but there's something unique and just special about MF. Incredible band!
Back then Mercyful Fate, Priest, Maiden, Accept etc broke ground everyday. Always a show in a club or coliseum back then. Albums always coming out. Unbelievable times
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse I'm a corpse without soul Satan, he's taken, he's taken He's taken his toll And he took it out on me I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped I'm trapped in his spell Tonight, I'm going, I'm going I'm going to Hell, inside his spell I was walking down among the graves I heard a cry, my shadow is gone Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone Small black wings on my naked back Now guess what I saw on one of the stones I saw my soul, in a magical haze It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress Small black wings on my naked back Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy I'm living to die Satan has taken his toll
Yeah it's not bad. The melodies are really cool. Keeps hitting the same high note a lot. Lots of energy. Having a little issue with English there at "I saw my soul, in a magical haze It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress". How is a soul dressed as a corpse and why in a dress? But it completely obliterates most of almost everything else new that's coming out. That guitar tone. The high energy riffs. There's still enough "rock" to keep it propulsive. Great song! Thank you for sharing it!
Metal has many icons and legends but there is only one King Diamond. Mercyful Fate's rhythm section was criminally underrated back in the day. Kim Ruzz was one of the best drummers I ever heard and in his era. -l- Desecration Of Souls -l- \mm/
Kim and clive burr. Actually. Soo many amazing musicians from that time. Elp. King crimson. The list just doesent end. And its a crying shame the when these radio stations do them bracket contests, they never go off format and include the really great bands. And ofcourse. Youll NEVER hear any iron maiden song other than run to the hills on the radio.

hey JERK...shhh WHY DON'T YOU FUCK SHUT YOUR DAMN SHIT YOU CALLED MOUTH..UH...OH..btw...same week Timi passed he talked to me by FB...duh...so fuckin' learn how to read BEFORE SPEAK..AND FUCK U.
one of my fav bands.I discovered them back in 84.Don't break the oath.I played that record every day...More then once a day.I still have that copy on the green label combat records.And i have a copy still sealed.And on cassette tape and cd....yep...MF forever.
Man I still have a copies of the green labels of Melissa and the Oath and some colored represses. But the green labels take me back to the days of discovery of the world of metal and living in the Bay Area in the 80's , good times.
GOD! I LOVE THIS SHIT ! This is the song that stole my soul and since the day in 1984 when they play their first concert in America:Chuck Landis, Country Club in Reseda, San Fernando Valley, California until today when I eagerly await the return of the mighty, mighty Kind Diamond! All Hail !!!
I was gonna say 82 or 83 but according to this its 84. Im 53 yrs old and remember very well discovering Mercyful Fate. The good ole days of tapes and vinyl's !
I seen their 1st show in the U.S. in Portland, Or. At the Starry Nite. Just amazing! I had never heard them or seen anything about them, my friends said I had to go so I went and let me say it was a lot to take in all at once at 18 years old! I'll never forget it!
Mercyful Fate es la mera mera pirinola! Dicho sea con todo respeto. Descanse en paz el señor Hansen, que traigan de vuelta a Denner y nos den un nuevo disco!
Some years ago a friend said he had a VHS with a Brats concert from 1981 with King Diamond on vocals (my friend's band was playing the same night). Seemed like he couldn't find the tape though.
They were tops! Energy and different! Tim kicked ass! They are on my top 12 albums every Halloween!!! Melissa and don't break the oath anyway!. Very cool I had two different kids know who they were. Realizing I'm 52 and they where like 10 ( well one said King Diamond) ...good job Dad's 🕶️
It seriously doesn't get any better than Mercyful Fate.

@@eyellgeteven9928 True.
Ahead of there time aswell
You are 100% Correct!!, best Metal Band ever put together, Musically Genius!
One of my favorite bands I love to sing metal king diamond is one of my favorite singers
It is sad to know that Timi passed away. He was a wonderful bass player.
Got that right
That's right
One of the best in metal music history
R.I.P. Timi..
this is a band entirely made up of incredible musicians.
Back then Mercyful Fate, Priest, Maiden, Accept etc broke ground everyday. Always a show in a club or coliseum back then. Albums always coming out. Unbelievable times
The buzz of walking into the record store and seeing a new album by one of our favourites.
One man hundred voices!!!
Great voice and guitar man
Or demons hahahhaa
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken
He's taken his toll
And he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going
I'm going to Hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones
I saw my soul, in a magical haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy
I'm living to die
Satan has taken his toll
Icredible

@@ralphtom3431- Satan is no joke. People get into the occult all the time. But they don't know what awaits them on their deathbeds.
The King and his loyal knights! That lineup is, in my humble opinion, Mercyful Fate best era! R.I.P. Timi!

Came down to post exactly this.
That whole album is legendary. Princesses of Hell!, night of the unborn, come to the Sabath. Just a great history for the King
Yes , finally someone mentions Kim Ruzz !! He was the genius of that amazing rhythm section !! My favorite band of all time. And Sabbath.
Kim Ruzz had so much feel to his drumming
Wow! I would've loved to see this on Headbanger's Ball back in the day.
Saw King on Abigail and conspiracy tour s and MF on into the shadows got to meet him, really cool and humble guy,,,,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'M JUST DYING FOR THIS BAND! BRING US THE COMPLETE DVD FROM THIS ERA! MISS YOU TIMI! :( R.I.P.

Mercyful Fate has always been a band musically ahead of its time.🤘😈🤘
Mercyful Fate are legends. Long live the King.
RIP Timi. Love the old footage. Hank's tone is so good.
Should sound good, its the studio
What distortion pedals on guitars? Or was that pure Marshall tone?
Bring back Michael Denner!! RIP Timi!
One of the best bands EVER
All Hail!

@@Fabester71 BIG TIME!
Absolutely killer guitar riff! Ledgendary metal band for sure!!
You can tell just in this one song from mercyful fate, where nearly every metal band has their influences
Kim Ruzz: YEAH! \,,/ RIP Tim. Mercyful Fate´s first three albuns = undeniable Metal classics!
GOD! I LOVE THIS SHIT ! This is the song that stole my soul and since the day in 1984 when they play their first concert in America:Chuck Landis, Country Club in Reseda, San Fernando Valley, California until today when I eagerly await the return of the mighty, mighty Kind Diamond! All Hail !!!
" The Institute"🤘🤘 & CAN'T wait for some new Mercyful Fate!!!🤘🤘
Best band of all time! 🤘🤘
Yeah! Legends from Denmark! 🤘🏻King Diamond = Inspiration
Would love to see the full show. I noticed Timi has a Firebird bass, then a V bass! He was such a bad ass, his energy and attitude. RIP
I believe King has tried to put together a concert from this era for release but has run into issues with digitizing.
He's an obvious Gibson user. 👍🏿👍🏿
That V bass is RAD!!!🤟🤟🤟
We want Michael Denner back!
WE DEMAND MICHAEL DENNER BACK!
Wr will have Michael Denner back
Will ever Michael Denner be back?
@@michaelhz37 Yes, otherwise there will be huge worldwide riots and protests.
MIKE DENNER MATTERS
Hail Mercyful. RIP Timi!
The best line-up ever!
This is how you start your day gawd damn it
Fantastic lineup, Kim is one of the all time greats. We want Denner back. RIP Timi

Only took 36 years to post this gem King! Thanks \m/,
Just discovered mercyful fate about 6 months ago I have been missing out bigtime
I love how the bass can change from a firebird to a flying v and back again...😀🤘🎸🎸🎸
The powers of darkness allowed them to perform this feat.
It’s a shame that gibson stopped making flying v bass guitars

Hank Shermann is such a RiffMeister!
Mercyful fate kicks ass the first metal band I got into been listening to them for close to 35 years I think they are still one of the best
Simplemente maravilloso.....!!!!!!!
Mercyful Fate es la mera mera pirinola! Dicho sea con todo respeto. Descanse en paz el señor Hansen, que traigan de vuelta a Denner y nos den un nuevo disco!
Great...long live Mercyful!🤘
Hell yes. One of the all time greats.
Some years ago a friend said he had a VHS with a Brats concert from 1981 with King Diamond on vocals (my friend's band was playing the same night). Seemed like he couldn't find the tape though.
Killer vintage footage...RIP Timi!!! 🤘🤘
This song is so kick-ass!!!
Legends of Metal. Lead the way for so many bands.
Always great to see a band embrace their older work unlike other bands (I’m looking at you Satyricon!)
just seen them last night god they where so amazing lost my shit when they busted this banger out
awesome love how diamond can go from extreme high pitch to James hetfield on each line of any song true legend
lmao TO james chesterfield(frontman to the biggest poser shit band ever)? what a fucking insult dunce fuck.
Mercyful Fate's fan comments are as razor-sharp as the band's incredible musical abilities.
Музыканты, у ВАС-ПРЕКРАСНЫЕ!!!
wow, what sound, what skills
Awesome! Love it! Amazing! I'm crying here!
Wow 🤩
Brings back great memories, thanks a lot for sharing this beauty.
Super awesome!!! Want more! Love this band!
a very good souvenirs.
What I needed!!! Thanks!
Really wish they could've used the actual audio of the show.
Unfortunately it is probably very bad
I guess it sounded like recorded with a potato.
Dream team ever
I love this song!
"A corpse in a wedding dress"! Always loved that line.
Fan since 1983 and wow... satan has taken his toll!!! Thanks for sharing this one.
All master wizards of metal.. doesn't get any better than this..🤘🤘🍺🍺
Les nonnes ne s'amusent pas. Merci, Roi Diamont et son équipe. 🤟🤘666

My co worker hears this band and I heard this song at work and I'm glad he introduced me this gem

One of the greatest band ever. Only amazing musicians and OMG King Diamond's voice give me many goosebumps
