Scott Malcolm I've put your suggestion to the test. My voice went really high, but only for a few seconds. Oh, the doctor said I'll be able to walk straight up again in a month or so...
Point number one. KD started as a guitarist. He has earned the right to air guitar. Point Two:. He is unique. People may want to copy him, but they can't because his vocals are unique. He is one of a kind. No one can do the falsetto like him .
@@joedirtbag6662 Correction. King _IS_ a guitar player. In Mercyful Fate he, Michael Denner & Hank Sherman wrote all of the music. In his King Diamond band he & Andy LaRoque writes it all.
Oh, yeah? What happens if you throw Mercyful Fate, King Diamond & Dissection into a blender? You get Attic from Germany. Not a rip off band. They are proudly carrying the torch. All hail the motherf*ckin King!....& Attic! LOL! All MF & KD bangers should more than appreciate Attic. ua-cam.com/video/imcpM2z1pjg/v-deo.html
Maestro !! Lo escucho desde que era una niña 10años me encanto y supe que desde ahi esto es la diferencia y ahora a mis 40años sigo escuchando a mi Maestro
King Diamond can actually play though as well just likes to concentrate on singing. He actually writes most of the music and has Andy play the riffs. Chuck Billy also can play guitar as well as that is what he did before becoming a singer but he's nowhere near as good as Skolnick so just sings as well.
Since the release of MERCYFUL FATE's first 1982 album, 39 years ago, this man's voice remains powerful and overwhelming. Respecting this man is not enough, we have to venerate him.
SM LW Years ago, I asked my mate “What does King Diamond sound like” “Well,” he answered, “First he sings very, very high, (falsetto) then he sings very very low (double bass). That’s about it really....”
It seems that satanic imaginery doesn't exactly fit the music. Or is it only my impression? King Diamond sounds like Cirith Ungol or Judas Priest to me.
@@hectorguzman8435 most of them can't. I tried doing this song and bombed. Not as easy as it sounds. Diamond is a legend and is up there with Halford, Dickinson, Dio and Tate in my opinion.
@@EyelessRaven I did back in high school but now at 35 for me is impossible… I could do a couple songs with the band and that was it. Now just a couple notes and I tap out I get tired…
King diamond definite best live performance , Best vocal execution , tight , intense and precise leaving some room for the back vocals's perfect interpretation of her musical line, the sound ingenier and the production team reached out to perfection on this live recording!
I saw King Diamond twice in the 80's and Mercyful Fate once in the early 90's but those shows occurred when King smoked a lot. I saw King Diamond again recently when he was touring for the Abigail album's 30th anniversary which I believe is the tour this footage was taken from, and I must say Kings voice when singing live is far better now that he's quit smoking than back then when he was still smoking. This video is proof of how great he sounds now.
I've been listening to King Diamond's albums since I was about 15 or so, and damn! For about 65, he can still belt those falsetto's out! LUCIFER EXCELSI!!!!
I bought the album when it came out in 1985! (Cassette)... I saw him live in the early 2000s a couple times in L.A. and he was fantastic with the graveyard stage scene.... looking forward to this DVD!
I've replayed the intro like 60 times already, that "ooooooh it's Halloween" at the beginning is so good, only king diamond can sing live better than studio haha.
I love this Philly show, I'm from here, still live here and there's a huge metal fan base here !! I love that King gets all respect and that why he filmed the show here! LONG LIVE THE KING!!
I can remember when he sang for Mercyful Fate then started his own band after Mercyful Fate broke up . That was back 30 years or more and his voice is still as strong as it was then .
A F.ing Legend right there!!! He's like fine wine he gets better and better as well as the band Hail to the King. Never sounded any better. Stay heavy King
Fantastic. I grew up with King and have been off of his music for years now, so it's great to see him still kicking ass like this. On his last run through the states i thought I'd head out to see him again, but the show sold out in a flash. I never had a chance.
King did an interview with eddie trunk a few weeks ago where he said that they're 98% finished working on the dvd and once that's out (which will probably later this year: summer/fall) they're going to go back in the studio and finish recording a new album which they're hoping to release next year.
All hail the KING!!!!! He sounds great. Can't wait for the DVD. I named my daughter ABIGAIL MIRIAM ASHWORTH. He is one of the all time greats. His wife sounds great on back up vocals.
His wife helps him and she does amazing. I love their beautiful vocals!
Man this song kicks serious ass! I'm 62 and been listening to metal since I was 14 and I can't believe I just found this song now!
King Diamond is 67yrs old. And the Abigail album is a Masterpiece.
Not only is he one of the best vocalists in the world, buy he's also a fine air guitar player😜
After 31 years He can still nail this 100%.. It's unbelievable. RESPECT!
With a little help from the half concealed girl.
Gunz Addams It’s still mostly him but she does help quite a bit
his wife
It's that vice grip he has on his balls.
Scott Malcolm I've put your suggestion to the test. My voice went really high, but only for a few seconds. Oh, the doctor said I'll be able to walk straight up again in a month or so...
1st listened to this song when i was 12 years old and now i am 46..the song still great!!
Andy Larocque is simply amazing. What a guitar player, a legend, one of a kind!!!
But doesn't get the credit .oh... And he needs to kno the Fate catalogue
@@markbeaudet8185 for sure! One of the most under-the
-radar guitarists! Amazing leads when played for Death, also!
Dude really doesn't get the credit he deserves. Guitarists that can do rhythm and leads both equally and well are the best.
The most sinister guitar sound on earth. 100% unique and skillful
Pete Black
Andy Laroche
Michael Denner....All Family

Nothing has ever ruled as hard as King Diamond has ever ruled
The single best Halloween song every made ... PERIOD. Long live the KING.
Tyttt
I don’t know man ever heard Halloween by Helloween?
DAMN RIGHT 😈🔥🤘
Idk..the theme to the movie Halloween is pretty iconic
@@dawson1787 I'll take a listen. Thank you.
With King he’s one of those rare vocalists who sound better and better with age. His voice is more expressive than every!
How amazing is this! The man still has a tremendous vocal range after all these years!
even better now he stop smoking haha his voice is just so much more well more haha
Thats the power of Satan man! 👹👹👹
It's a God given talent.
@@MH-ie8dy nah man. Satan's gift.
Maestro !! Lo escucho desde que era una niña 10años me encanto y supe que desde ahi esto es la diferencia y ahora a mis 40años sigo escuchando a mi Maestro
Por mi hermano, lo escuche a los 8 años, y fue una adicción automática, ahora con 36 años, me gusta como el primer dia
The way he pitches his voice makes like two vocalist in one, GENIUS 🤘🏾!
King Diamond is my favorite Air Guitarist!!! LOL
FrankinChicken B Idk, Chuck Billy is my favorite lol.
Ben from Goatwhore is mine. Chuck Billy is hilarious to watch air guitar nowadays
Kirk Hammett is my favourite air guitarist
Mine is max cavalera

Holy shit. Haven't listened to KD since the 80s but his voice is still awesome. Nice
King is KING😎
Brother Gary
King is KING GARY TEMPLE DALLAS ,OK CITY,MERCYFUL FATE VAMPIRE LOUNGE LATE '90" S
same here =)
SM LW Years ago, I asked my mate “What does King Diamond sound like” “Well,” he answered, “First he sings very, very high, (falsetto) then he sings very very low (double bass). That’s about it really....”
The best metal falsetto voice ever!!!
King Diamonds voice is like nothing else I have ever heard. Just Amazing!!
Long live the King! I saw the band in Upper Darby, PA, in November 2019. One of the best concerts of my life!
Every nite 4 me is HALLOWEEN 👺👹🤘🏻
Best Heavy Metal Band on the Planet, King Diamond! Over and out!
I can't get enough of the start!
"...every single night for us up here IS GODDAMN HALLOWEEN!" 🤘
It's so hard too believe that I was there in that crowd, i have never been that happy in my entire life
Wish I could've been. I want to see King live someday
Is that at the Warfield in SF?
I am an OG old school hardcore hip hop head BUT man do I love me some King Diamond. One of a kind. Unique. Classic shit.
King Diamond is still the best live show ive ever seen
All time FAVORITE metal vocalist !!!!
I am a fan of King Diamond since 1987 and proudly I still am!!!
im still listening to this shit 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Saw him in Pittsburgh for the first time ever, and he was unbelievable. Crossed it off of my bucket list.
I listen to this song every Halloween for 30 years. Long live the KING.
Mark Let haha, same here, for the last 12 or so.
Mark Let, always play this one on Halloween. Probably close to 30 years as well.. ..👍
Hell, I listen to this when it *isn't* Halloween. 🙂
I’m new to the king so about the last four years for me (the fourth being today)
It makes me smile seeing King Diamond is still out there. He sounds like a million bucks.
King diamond is the God father of black metal a man a legend
King Diamond, you still got it.... I love his music and I've been listening to him since the 80's
Been listening since he hit the scene with Mercyful Fates Melissa!
Never cared for the satanic stuff, but Diamond is perhaps the second most underrated metal act out there. I’ll be a fan for life
It seems that satanic imaginery doesn't exactly fit the music. Or is it only my impression? King Diamond sounds like Cirith Ungol or Judas Priest to me.
@@kruczyzmora2885 you just gave me a wet dream. Kind Diamond singing Judas Priest? Oh my loins.
His vocal style is unique and underrated. I don’t know any other singers that sing the style and ranges he does.
@@hectorguzman8435 most of them can't. I tried doing this song and bombed. Not as easy as it sounds. Diamond is a legend and is up there with Halford, Dickinson, Dio and Tate in my opinion.

I was listening to king back then when I was on junior high...bring back a lot of awesome memory, long live metal
I can DEFINITELY see how Ghost was influenced by this band. This is fucking awesome.
Sadly Ghost is nowhere near as good as these guys.
@@deanh99 fact!
Dean Holzapfel But they are still good.
@@michal37036 exactly, they are good but not even close to King Diamond
Absolutley. They've even borrowed some melodies.
Que música mas tranquila, Dios los bendiga 💙
King diamond definite best live performance ,
Best vocal execution , tight , intense and precise leaving some room for the back vocals's perfect interpretation of her musical line, the sound ingenier and the production team reached out to perfection on this live recording!
Put out some speakers and blast this on 100+ at sundown on Halloween! Yeah I did that and the fuzz showed up!
can't wait for 2022 not only a new King Diamond album but also MERCYFUL FATE!
I Listened to Mr. Andy Larocque on a podcast the other day. Andy has said that the King can Play Guitar. KING DIAMOND IS SUPER TALENTED.🤘🤘🤘🤘

This video is proof of how great he sounds now.
I saw him in Fate in the late 90's and Diamond around 2004, then saw him in '14 and his voice is indeed stronger now than before his heart attack.
@@JRPrestonIL its 100% his voice. In this video you almost can't even hear the back vocals.
Lucky bastards you guys saw MF. Wish they’d tour too
Yeah fuck cigarettes.
King Diamond is my religion!
King always has the best bands in the biz
This man is KING! 👑
Andy es impresionante, su técnica es tan pura y perfecta, sin duda de los mejores del mundo.
Does it get any better.....NO! Frieken incredible! Just saw him in Brooklyn. One of best metal bands live on Earth!!
King Diamond rocking the due rag like a true gangster 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Andy Larouqe, still one of the top 2 most underated guitarist of all time!!!!
Hard to believe that even in his 60's King can still pull off amazing falsettos
King represents everything metal music should be, long life to the King!
Matt... You Rock my friend!
Excellent drummer.
🤟😎🤘
una de las mejores voces del mundo del rock

As a Catholic I must admit, Best, Song To Listen To On Halloween, EVER

His voice sounds better here than on the original recording.
Супер ! Еще в юности заслушивалась с друзьями ( некоторых уже и в живых нет - счастья им на том свете ) . Вокал уникальный !
I've been listening to King Diamond's albums since I was about 15 or so, and damn! For about 65, he can still belt those falsetto's out! LUCIFER EXCELSI!!!!

Long live the King!

En vivo suena brutal King Diamond
Who knows when the complete official live will arrive! This is gonna be the greatest show on Earth...
I was there for the filming and i can say that the kings vocals were spot fucking on all night! Same goes for the band!

@@Forlorn_Mortis Did he do any Mercyful Fate songs?
watching King and Ozzy live is one hell of a ride
All hail the KING!!!!! He sounds great. Can't wait for the DVD. I named my daughter ABIGAIL MIRIAM ASHWORTH. He is one of the all time greats. His wife sounds great on back up vocals.
omg finally!!! The true King of Denmark releases a live DVD- That only took what? 40 years?! :D
I was there with my friend Johnny. RIP my brother.
