Andy is rather famous. I truly believe this band could've gone further with another singer. Maybe as fas as the level of Iron Maiden. King is sweet to some and bitter to others. Many people love the musical side of the band but have a negative perception about the vocals. It is all part of what makes them so interesting.
I remember the first time I heard this way back when Metallica first hit. I never hated anything more. I was so disappointed. But I knew that the BEST things don't always make the best first impression. I persevered and was rewarded. The music has held up surprisingly well. Thanks KD, and when I say KD , I salute Andy LaRoque who was really the perfect guitarist for KD.
My second favorite concept album of all time (behind Mindcrime). I hates this album at first but once I "got it" OMG, so good. The production on it is thin but the musicianship was fantastic. Can we talk about Mikkey Dee and his absolute OBSCENE resume? Thin Lizzy, Helloween, Motorhead, King Diamond and Scorpions? I want to read this dude's book.
The darkness came closer to home on the Following night And Miriam slept like a rock when Jonathan's face went white The bedroom was ice cold But the fire was burning still The blinding light The family ghost had risen again...the ghost Don't be scared, don't be scared now my friend I am count de lafey Let me take you to the crypt down below Where Abigail rests Let Miriam sleep She never would understand Now come let us go... it's time to know Beware of the slippery stairs You could easily fall and break your neck Hand me that torch and I will lead the way To the secret in the dark Take a look into the vault, the vault The sarcophagus...of a child Abigail has been in here for years and years Stillborn, born... born... born The spirit of Abigail is inside your wife And there's only one way you can stop The rebirth of evil itself You must take her life now
A classic. I had a buddy in high school who once got freaked out because he saw a ghost and said it was his grandma. I tortured him with this song daily after that.
Amazing album for 86 just saw KD Nov 7 Bklyn NY perform Amazing show ever band was perfect SATAN HIMSELF is back Alive and well strong as can be STAY HEAVY STAY HEAVY STAY HEAVY
Just attended the sermon last night in Montreal!!! Still got it... And Andy just never misses a note!!! Phenomenal show!!! Gotta get to Graspop 2020... MERCYFUL FATE!!!
Both my uncles grew up in the 80s, and when asked about how the metal bands then compared to now, they just tell me "we can't say you have to have been there to understand the appeal"
.. eheh , after having listened to Andy LaRocque eat Michael Denner in this album in revenge for Michael Denner having had devoured him in ´ Fatal portrait ` ,Pete Blakk thought , I can digest this guy like the aspargus I veganly plugged for dinner ... come ´Them` , Andy LaRock simply wouldn´t let him have it ... yet , a very close call ... saw them live during the 89/90 conspiracy tour and Pete Blakk was very close to Andy LaRocque in feeling, creativity ,phrasing ... very close, like any other after the dissolution of what I consider the classic King Diamond line - up ( even though Snowy Shaw was a drummer for that tour - same applies to Snowy Shaw , he was so good in that show that I didn´t even miss Mikkey Dee , well , all the times I´ve watched King Diamond afterwards the drumming wasn´t up to par with both those incredible drummers ( Dee/Shaw) . Eheh, sorry for the long post and ... you know it ... ´Stay heavy !`
“Oh I dare not tell you” (One of my favorite lines of any song, from Black Horsemen: “oh no! When they found her in the sarcophagus, baby Abigail was eating...oh I dare not tell you”)
Andy Larocque would have been a good choice to join Ozzy. Like Rhoads and slightly with Jake (on Bark at the Moon album), he would have laid down some fantastic riffs and solos.

They've said just about every year that it would be that year. There was supposed a "new" album released this year, but it's just the live compilation Blu-ray in January. Awesome actually, but not a new album. Honestly though, I would rather them not ever release another new album if they can't get it right. I haven't been a fan of any of his albums post Voodoo. None of them had the edge that made the previous albums so memorable, and just felt like King going through the motions.
King Diamond is the best vocalist in the world!👌👌👌
Andy Larocque is a beast of a guitarist.
Ubet ur ass sugar Shawn say so
Was.
True
Agreed!! Andy is so underrated, it’s a shame!! He’s in a league of his own!!! Awesome player!!!
@@montech5647Was?? Dude is still out playing live and tearing up stages, very underrated
Andy LaRocque & Michael Denner were such a great combo on guitar 😱
One of the most iconic guitar duos of metal, hank Sherman from MF was also badass with Michael denner
The other guitarist is not Michael Denner, did you know it?☺ Is Mikael Myllynen or Michael Moon❤☺
@@noeliarodrigueznavas5549 Well noted , it´s Michael Moon .
Michael moon was in the clip, not on the Abigail álbum.
@@lucascarvalho8758 Of course .Those are classic Denner solos .
One of the greatest guitar solos in the entire heavy metal history! Hail to King !
King Diamond is the worlds best black metal bands in Europe & the worlds.
Andy LaRocque is a legend... probably the most underrated guitar player of all time!
Cex Metal dont forget about michael
Underrated??? Andy LaRocque?? Haha He is definitely NOT underrated. Not in the metal scene. Not even close.
@@migthefig people who comment "underrated" is mostly newcomers to genres or else they would know what everyone else know

Top 3 Lead guitars of the heavy metal history, very melodic and clean sound also very pro chords user
👑 King Diamond♦️ the most original and unique voice in Metal. A fan since 89’. I’m eagerly anticipating the new album. 🤘
I've been a fan since last year but damn I'm hooked on King Diamond.
I remember the first time I heard this way back when Metallica first hit. I never hated anything more. I was so disappointed. But I knew that the BEST things don't always make the best first impression. I persevered and was rewarded. The music has held up surprisingly well. Thanks KD, and when I say KD , I salute Andy LaRoque who was really the perfect guitarist for KD.
This exactly. First listen was what the holy fuck is this crap? Glad I hung in there because this album is a masterpiece.
The philosopher of darkness, the master of the seven voices, the great and magnificent Kim Bendix Petersen 😈🙌👑💎 \m/
7 voices?
When all the others do not move me, i put King Diamond on and i feel Almost as if King's music is a Narcotic with Euphoria 🤘🤘🤘🤘
King Diamond, mercyful fate and venom will be my favorite bands forever......
King Diamond is my favorite band.
Metal is Forever
That is the "TROOT" troot meaning truth rooted so far down that it will stand forever and forever! 🤘
Best vocalist ever period
Wouldn't go that far, but he's one of my favorites ever.
I hope to see king diamond in concert sometime
I agree Andy is a beast, and so was Mickey Dee on the drums!!🤘🤘🤘
Intro riff is one of the best riffs ever made. :)
Great song ! And this voice... Came from a another world !
CUANDO LOS VI POR PRIMERA VEZ EN 🇨🇱
QUEDÉ ANONADADO Y PERPLEJO....SON GENIALES EN VIVO ...LARGA VIDA A "KING DIAMOND"
⚔️🤘🏻⚔️👻👻👻👻
Gracias por el comentario en español . Saludos desde Puerto Rico y un abrazo respetuoso.

The darkness came closer to home on the
Following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when
Jonathan's face went white
The bedroom was ice cold
But the fire was burning still
The blinding light
The family ghost had risen again...the ghost
Don't be scared, don't be scared now my friend
I am count de lafey
Let me take you to the crypt down below
Where Abigail rests
Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go... it's time to know
Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break your neck
Hand me that torch and I will lead the way
To the secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault, the vault
The sarcophagus...of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years
Stillborn, born... born... born
The spirit of Abigail is inside your wife
And there's only one way you can stop
The rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now
"You must take her life meow " - count turn him self in to a black cat - and this video don't even have that part.... -.-
The video that King hates. He said it had nothing to do with the song but the producers thought other wise.
Hail to the legend!😍
Mickey Dee on drums here in his younger days. :)
V3ntilator he is still a force in scorpions!
Awesomeness!! ✊🎤🎶🎸🌹Rest In Peace Timi Hansen🌹
Pure genius
King Diamond was one of the best influential affects upon my want to create music. Just saw him in Boston with his other project at the MGM. 🤘💥🤘
As good as it was way back when it came out in my youth!
Hail the King!!
He's had the best guitarists
A classic. I had a buddy in high school who once got freaked out because he saw a ghost and said it was his grandma. I tortured him with this song daily after that.
I love Andy's second solo. Short and brilliant
King Diamond = LEGEND! Love every single guitar lick and screaaaaam. \m/ \m/
My motivation for an old guy at 54!!!!!❤👍
En el Olimpo del heavy metal 💪🤘
BRUTAL ANDY!
Glad to see Metal Blade is re-releasing old King Diamond videos. Was hoping for better video resolution though.
Incredible musicians. \m/

Yes King Diamond rules
Both my uncles grew up in the 80s, and when asked about how the metal bands then compared to now, they just tell me "we can't say you have to have been there to understand the appeal"
I love this

The blond guitarist is Michael Denner ? On the photo of the Abigail album back cover, he didn't long and curly hair... Maybe it's Michael Moon ?
Is Michael Moon☺
The ultimate question. Me and my friend have pondered for literally decades….. what is king eating as he ascends the staircase of his throne ?
“Oh I dare not tell you”
(One of my favorite lines of any song, from Black Horsemen: “oh no! When they found her in the sarcophagus, baby Abigail was eating...oh I dare not tell you”)
Maybe he's born with it maybe it's Maybelline

The Family Ghost
Solo: Andy
The darkness came closer to home on the following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when Jonathan's face went white
The bedroom was ice cold
but the fire was burning still
the blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again
The Ghost
"Don't be scarred. Don't be scarred now My friend
I am Count de La Fey
Let me take you to the crypt down below
where Abigail rests"
"Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go... It's time to know"
Solo: Mike
Solo: Andy
"Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break your neck
hand me that torch and I will lead the way
to the secret in the dark, secret in the dark
take a look into the vault, the Vault
The sarcophagus..of a child
Abigail has been here for years and years
stillborn". Born... Born... Born
"The spirit of Abigail is inside Your Wife
and there is only one way You can stop the
rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"
Awesome
Oh Lord please help us from this demons
The video is already up on Roadrunner records' channel since 8 years.
E um clássico
Why the hell is the last verse cut off?!
This is THEATER of KING DIAMOND- not comparable
I first heard him when I was 13
👻
Перезалив классики это круто \m/
One of my favorite music videos of all time. SO GOOD
Where th is the original video with over a million views doe
“Uhhhh... wow. This might be the worst crap I’ve ever seen in my life. Uh-huhuhuhuhuh...”
-ButtHead
So when is the next album coming?
They've said just about every year that it would be that year. There was supposed a "new" album released this year, but it's just the live compilation Blu-ray in January. Awesome actually, but not a new album. Honestly though, I would rather them not ever release another new album if they can't get it right. I haven't been a fan of any of his albums post Voodoo. None of them had the edge that made the previous albums so memorable, and just felt like King going through the motions.
Hail King Diamond 🙌🏼
Awesome!!! Miss those good old days!!
The Fckn King 🔥✌
..... some of us didn't forget there was an announcement of the King Diamond Abigail album live DVD release recorded in Detroit...?
Yeah, this bump for the video just seems like promotional material for the live Blu-ray. January 25th...same day as Resident Evil 2 remake.
If you think you can play Drums or Guitar, try to cover this song! ha!
It's difficult
Ohhhh,ok. I get Dr Rockso now.
🤘😎
That band was so tight and so underrated. I would love to see a feature length film made from this album. Maybe Rob Zombie could do it.
The Master of Horror Heavy metal King Diamond Oh Yeah
Mikkey Dee in drumms.
Rock it king. Diamond
Hmmmm, hinting a new album soon? Huh metal blade.
♥
Музыка классная 🔥👍🏻 вокал на любителя 😖
Where is the ending
Master of masters.
Which one is Denner?????
It sounds like a disaster but the guitar is brutal
What do you guys think about the album performed with Chuck Schuldiner with musicians from Diamond's crew? In Human Form anyone? 🤘😈🤘
MUITO, MUITO BOM. É ÓTIMO"
New album, when?
Now I feel much better
Long live the king.
