Yeah I like the early Kiss albums (Alive! my favorite) just because simple and basic. But King (in all phases, Love Mercyful Fate, despite the technically better players solo) just dusts them musically. Just no comparison.
9:38 These statues are called GARGOYLES. They were placed next to the gutters of medieval churches, with the function of keeping away from the sanctified walls, which shelter the faithful, the demons and the evil forces that frighten them and also served to hide the pipes that drained the rainwater, which drained through their throats.
King diamond is very theatrical mixed of metal. Hense him changing from high to lower vocals.. it's representing different characters. Kind diamond's music is telling a story. It's amazing :D
Gene Simmons talked about perhaps suing him for the similarity to his makeup, f#*k this was more than 30 years ago. I remember hearing it on the radio on the show 'Metal Shop'. Nothing ever came of it of course because Simmons is all for publicity.
King Diamond is a known Satanist (upside down cross). As his music is always demonic. - BUT ....... ABSOLUTELY One of the best vocalists and best bands ever !! King always shows the world what concept albums are really supposed to be ! Never understood the lawsuit except for JEALOUSY from a band (KISS) that uses "Backing tapes & gets caught pantomiming" check out His other band Merciful Fate !
King Diamond is the name of the singer who also happens to play guitars and keyboards on his albums. Metallica have covered his songs. I hear Bozo the Clown, French mimes and native Americans are also included in the lawsuit.
King !! King of Horror rock!! All kings albums are horror/ ghost stories and kibg changes his voice for different characters in the story Try Abigail album
Christian metal band LMFAO….No, this is not Stryper ;). Listen to Nuns Have No Fun and that will give you a better understanding of what King/Merciful Fate are all about.
Is this how it’s done? I thought a reaction video was the react to the video, not wiki the biography during the reaction. I don’t think I could do a reaction video and not have a a clue who I’m about to react to. Does it add to it? Idk.
Imo, i would say King Diamond is a mix of goth/black metal. Leaning more towards Goth metal. And no, NOT a Christian metal band! Stryper is a Christian metal band. 🤘🤘
My thoughts exactly. Alice, David Bowie and Arthur Brown should have collectively sued KISS since you didn't see any of them cornering the market on face paint.
christian metal band i laughed so hard whahaha
King diamond tells horror stories in his music Abigail was his pride and joy he wanted to make it a movie.
One King Diamond song has more notes in it than the entire Kiss catalog.

Still one of the best concerts i've ever seen.
😮 When was it recorded ?
King Diamond has no bad albums
At his worst he’s better than most bands at their best
Arthur Brown was sporting the face paint in the 60s.
Hail to the King 🤘🔥 „Sleepless Nights“ and „Welcome Home“ are both the absolute masterclass songs by the legendary storyteller 🫶🤘🔥🎩
King Diamond - At The Graves! Killer song!
Both of HIS bands are heavy metal bands who influenced the birth of Black metal. Greetings from Brasil brother.

The bones in the mic are real human bones , he used to have a real skull and he would lick it on stage 😂

KISS acts like they have a patent on all black and white face paint. Why not sue Insane Clown Posse too?
Or Alice Cooper or David Bowie.

Not all his music is demonic. His Mercyful Fate work definitely more focused on satanism and such but his solo work is mostly horror stories.

Well said !
King Footwork wasn't sure for just any face paint design, he was sure for his face paint design for his Dark Sides album
His face paint was influenced by Alice Cooper, and not the money grubbing narcissist Gene Simmons, and or Kiss.

Try Abigail album
Wouldn't the pioneer in that who had the title be Alice Cooper?
@@galadballcrusher8182 well I said King not grandfather or originator so I guess it’s a matter of opinion
Christian metal band LMFAO….No, this is not Stryper ;).

Peter Gabriel used face paint in Genesis.

"What is this band know for..?" Well... now you know...
I think he's early death metal, it's not uncommon for death metal bands to paint their faces like that. their gargoyles dude.

Upside down cross represent hell
Shouldn't Alice Cooper asked Kiss for make up lol
Alice Cooper should've sued kiss.
My thoughts exactly. Alice, David Bowie and Arthur Brown should have collectively sued KISS since you didn't see any of them cornering the market on face paint.
Looks like we found the one guy who has been living under a rock! And not only when it comes to Heavy Metal, but also religious iconography.
24 fret guitars are not uncommon whatsoever
kiss sued king diamond for his face paint. just so you know
They didn't. Just so you know.
you don't know much about anything do you?
gen z .... I don't know so it sucks.... keep thinking that way.
