- MTV's interview with King Diamond. That year Mercyful Fate performed at Dynamo Open Air shortly after second birth and a new album In the Shadows. This version of the interview lacks few seconds in the beginning.
He was 37 at this time! He has held his age so well. A legend
Now he's 66 and still looking great. Not to mention he's voice is still killing it 👍👍👍
I already lost my hair at 30 lmao
@@peterrevens8454he has also had triple bypass surgery. He was a heavy smoker and heart disease may have rn in his family
glad he quit smoking. his live vocals at 60 years old are still insane
the power of his vocals is truly astonishing
As with many heavy metal musicians, he's an incredibly chilled out, soft-spoken and articulate dude when you get beyond the mask and occult themed theatrics.
There's nobody cooler than King Diamond
I love King Diamond💟
great musician
Who doesn't? 😁❤
I can't believe how he can hit that high notes smoking all the time, impressive.
He stopped smoking years ago. That's why his vocals are still ace
BTW, Freddy Mercury (and others at that level) used to smoke. And snort. And drink shittons of booze, while KD stopped drinking in an excessive way since forever, and never done hard drugs (at least, it's what he ever told).
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 Yeah, triple bypass will inspire that habit banished ~
The coolest guy in metal.
He reminds me of a combination of Elvis and Lemmy.
King Diamond, Old Metallica and Old Megadeth?! Fucking Sick!!!
I want his jacket.
I have a lot to learn about their music. I was really into Metallica back then. Now I want to learn about Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Seems like I've discovered gold or something. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
King is a real satanist too which is cool
Paula Amero merciful fate -dangerous meeting, princess of hell, Halloween, and mellisa
@@robertpreston2220 he isn’t. He follows LeVayan Satanism which actually teaches the non-existence of Satan
@@GruppeSechs2004 I know what he is. I have the facts

What a gentleman the one and only KING OF METAL
Vanessa Warwick (the interviewer) is a property developer now and looks like a proper business person. It's weird how some people change and find themselves on a different life path.
Pretty lame.
In The Shadows.. crazy album!
I wonder how many people recognized KD out of makeup. . and how many walked up to him and said "Lemmy! Is that you?!"
Way cool, I've heard it, awesome!!
100% a legend thank you kim
This footage is from Milton Keynes Bowl in England, not Dynamo. King was there as a spectator. Metallica, Megadeth and The Almighty played that day....I was there! 👍
Man, if he were my boyfriend in college..
@White People Rule The World only cowards talk like that
King humilde🥵
I want that IT IS TIME FOR TEA tshirt KING!

❤❤❤
Heavy Metal Rock forever!!!
UA-cam CC translates "Merciful Fate" = "Rumours Will Fade."
Unforgiven blasting in the background ~
Wow I didn't know he was hot af lol🤘🏻
Pointing out that he is under Metallica. In a face to face interview... wtf is that? King don't do it!
He is modest, but don't worry, he knows very deep that King Diamond band and Mercyful Fate are better than Metallica. Quality and being cult bands are the evidence.
I've been a Metallica fan for quite a while, but King Diamond can never be replaced.. and I'd take the guitar duo of Pete Blakk and Andy Larocque over Kirk and James any day. King Diamond might be "under" Metallica in popularity, but he and his band are far above them in quality. It's not a competition, and they can never be replaced. I'll take both bands.
@Johnny Hash you're so wrong, in every aspect.
King diamond is stylish theatrical metal for people with high standard class
Metallica more for the smaller brains who want typical verse verse solo verse type of songs
Whatever she has no idea
Cool!
me recuerda con esta apariencia al de queen, ja!
Great guy...terrific music....there must beca god
In the background you can hear Unforgiven by Metallica..near the end of video
hahaha king diamond > metallica any year
It's hilarious how everyone's hating on Metallica yet them and King Diamond are friends and have played together. King himself likes em so stop with the ridiculous hate.
metallica is not even metal
@@robertpreston2220 🅰️
@Edmund Blackadder No its fact
Ah the headbanger look back then.
You are based in LA - ya Dallas Texas !
0:35-0:47 Is she a fuckin’ Borat with that question?!
2:04 the unforgiven ahaha
He’s my idol
Idolatry is a grave sin, my friend. Its possible to be a fan of music without idolizing another person. Peace!
But you can see in that video she has respect and he is an awesome guy I would love to meet him in person I have got to shake in his hand when he did the into the Shadows with Mercyful Fate got to see them play at Jack's before it turned into Empire I know it's one show that he canceled at Jack's what's really pissed me off but I understood why so I had to go all the way down the Springfield Virginia to get my money back it was a real pain in the ass on that tour he slipped a disc and his back so therefore he had to cancel the show but I really thought sucked cuz I was hoping to see King Diamond band play but at least I got to see him play with merciful fate
🎸☠️
Wow Freddie Mercury had a weird image back then
does she know she is talking to the king?
yes, you have.:)) the huge gold mine is waiting for you:)) enjoy.
Rob Zombie should make movies based on his albums.
King Diamond and Metallica are two different styles music they're all good friends I don't compare them I like both Styles music before Metallica changed now they suck I'll be happy when they get off the stage and retire
true
Dallas Tx
He's said he views LaVeyan Satanism as more of a philosophy than a religion, he is an atheist but follows LaVeyan Satanism's philosophical teachings.
Rise Abigail
TEXAS
I never could understand these fools that do that
he seems cool,just a like a regular bloke
That must not be true, because "I" believe that...
I'd take the King over Metallica any any fucking day!👺
Metallica absolutely sucks compared to Mercyful Fate and King Diamond.
That's adorable
metallica is not even metal
FUCK you
Hahahahahaha nice joke
Both are awesome.
King is so much better than Metallica
1:45 - Sorry King I gotta disagree with you there. As much as I did love In The Shadows it really sounded like more of a continuation of The Eye rather than Don't Break The Oath.
Eu achei o The Shadows mais como uma continuação de Melissa.
Lol are you deaf?? ITS sounds nothing like The Eye musically.
@@ogiovanninunesyes
Metallica sucks. All hail the king, mercyful fate and king diamond are the best. Acquired taste for some but God damn it is the most intense concept albums I've ever listened to. 🤘
metallica is not even metal
Funny, he claimed it has "much better production" than the 80s albums, but when I listen to it now it sounds kinda flat and overly 90s. Meanwhile Melissa and Don't Break the Oath have incredibly rich, dynamic production and sound better than 90% of metal albums. king's certainly entitled to his opinion of his own work though
In The Shadows sounds killer......the crazy thing is even though it was released in the 90's, it had an early 80's feel to it. I think it's their best sounding album.....not flat at all.
The more I see of him acting normal, the less I despise him. LOL. He's a pretty cool, normal guy.
Kings one of the coolest, most down to earth person in entertainment.
+Rob Estees why would you despise him?
barfyman362 I was just kidding. I think the whole theatrical devil thing is silly. But I find myself listening to him anyway.He seems a very interesting and cool guy.
PRHILL9696 From an interview in 2006: "He states that he has reached a point in his life where he has completely given up believing in anything religious"
Rob Estees read his interviews,he is very intelligent and polite
Try me, a fan at 49; this Monday!!
Hail Satan King!
Exactly all Satanists are that way. Not only is King a Satanist but so is his wife Livia who sings on his albums now
I see people making stupid comments about KD being better than Metallica...
what's stupid? they are saying the truth
Even Metallica would agree at King>>Metallica
Corey Taylor!!!
yes, very similar. At least with glasses
keep the politics out of the music , just Rock out c u in the pit
