You have to admire a man that sings a song as close to the album version as humanly possible in his 60s from an album made in the 80s.
Exactly,and with a serious surgery few years ago🤘🤘🤘👨🏻🎤👨🏻🎤👨🏻🎤There is only one King🤴🤴🤴So glad to see him live in 2013🙂
@@aristarchossypalitos2073 dude legit, that surgery helped him. his vocals were starting to flag slightly before that, but he came back from his physical rehab/therapy sounding crisper than ever, my dad and i caught him a few years back and he's still album accurate live.
Sleep in a coffin and it will help you be in top form.
i will say he do better on this live, but very impressive !😀
Always fun to see people discovering King Diamond. I would recommend any song from this Live at the Fillmore concert.
or the Monsters of Rock 96 performance - Invisible Guests - it's incredible.
@@Grandmastergav86 I they can play for 5 hours live there would be no bad song
Same! Love seeing these younger metalheads learning the classics.
Cool story time: I was working 3rd shift as a telephone operator on an Air Force Base. The only other person would just read her bible and not talk to me. So I asked to bring in a small boombox to listen to. I played mellow stuff:Van Halen, Scorpions, Aerosmith. Co worker told me if I kept listening to devil music, that I'd go to hell. The next night I brought in Merciful Fate - Don't Break the Oath. Thought she was going to run out of the office.
That is the proper response. Well done sir.
Should have done Cradle of Filth
I salute you, sir.
Wow you were Gentle, seriously King Diamond may be a satanist but if you follow what he believes he can appear christian, so much more worse stuff Like Gwar F'ing an animal.
The entire ABIGAIL album is a gem. You must listen to it straight through. You will never be the same...
I’ve been waiting for this lol. I wasn’t disappointed❤️
King is Danish, but now lives in the southern US and absolutely loves NASCAR lol
Yeah he’s been living in Texas for years now.

Welcome to the world of King Diamond
Man, there were never and never will be anyone other then King Diamond who can do THAT with his male voice. He is the one and only. If you add the fact that he writes all lyrics and composes all of his songs - that makes him the superhero of heavy metal genre. King Diamond was by far my favorite band back then in 80-s era till his "The Eye" 1990 album. There were 5 albums by King Diamond and 2 albums by Mercyful Fate - all together that was something never heard before, something completely original and great. If you dig into King Diamond you will be amazed by his legacy and input to everything we have now in the heavy genre
So theatrical and great at telling stories - he is so In character…
King Diamond's Abigal is a true masterpiece in both storytelling and music. A perfect album in my opinion. Also a worthy note , Andy La Roque, a guitarist in King Diamond, also collaborated with Chuck Schuldiner of Death, on one of the best Death albums Human.
Andy played in a different album, Individual Thought Patterns
@@ofir123456789o You're right ...my bad :D
my personal favorite is voodoo, pure thrash
King Diamond's vocals sound like haunting banshees or ghosts which perfectly matches the theme of his music and lyrics considering they tell ghost stories.
Love it - cant believe how succesful he and his bands become In The US. My teenager idol In late 80’s…
Bare en skam at han ikke kunne finde ud af det med Denker !
Mine too! Since ‘88. I was 13! 🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼
It's also a mind-blower when you realized he was in his late 50s when this live show happened.
even older, he would’ve been 62-63!
Check out King Diamond - A Mansion in Darkness (Live at The Fillmore) next. That entire concert is mind blowing.
His wife is doing some harmony/backing vocals. You can see her briefly in a couple shots. She’s sort of hidden next to the stairs leading up to the big riser/altar thing.
Such an honest reaction. It does an old soul good to see another generation enjoying true talent.
Seing him live will blow you out your socks. The band is a must see metal band live
King diamond rocks the universe. To me, the greatest metal band ever.
I couldn’t wait to see both of your reactions to King Diamond.
I am a big fan of King Diamond. Like you both said, at first I was taken aback by his voice and wasn’t sure but within the first song I became a fan. No one else quite like the King.
I consider him, also, the Alice Cooper of metal. His vocal range also reminds me of Rob Halford a bit.
Can’t wait to watch you react to more from The King.
He's better than Cooper. He's actually more like Prince. He's writes all the guitar parts as well
Let's just put it this way.. back in like 2016 I took both of my kids to see a concert.. King Diamond was that concert. Both of my kids are fans of King Diamond for many years now. Totally worth the tickets and car rental. Anything by King Diamond is both artistic and very well-designed musically. His stage show is specifically theatrical just like something between Alice Cooper and GWAR. Enjoy your journey through his music catalog ;)
Long live the King!! So glad my friend showed me him back in 2014. Seen him 6 times since then!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I discovered King Diamond back around the time "Abigail" and "Them" was released. I still have those original CD's.
There is a whole concert here on UA-cam, just go watch it. Andy LaRocque has been a guitar influence for me for YEARS.
He's a legend.
Kind Diamond is ABSOLUTELY ONE OF A KIND......
It's great to see someone's introduction to this......
There is SO much more!
Past week Mercyful Fate were in concert here in Italy at Rock The Castle 2022.
King Diamond has been amazing!
Best performance of the festival!
I'm disabled...King was nice enough to send me a signed cd a few years ago..He Is Awesome!!!!
I was in the same exact boat as you sir. I wasn't sure if I liked King Diamonds voice the first time I heard him, but it grew on me for sure, I absolutely love this song. That solo is one of the best I've ever heard as well, totally kick ass.
Saw him in concert in ‘87....
Sounds better than ever.
King diamond and merciful fate,are part of the original evolution of metal! He influenced modern metal in so many ways. There wouldn't be black metal if king hadn't started it back in the day👍🤘🙏
Yes. I love King Diamond. I've seen him live for the first time back in November of 2919. He's in his 60's and still sounds amazing. I was the same way when I first heard of King Diamond's vocals. I wasn't sure how I felt about them and after a few songs, I really do like his vocal range. I believe that his vocal abilities are a little bit better than Rob Halfords. You really should check out more King. Now you should check out his first band Mercyful Fate. Melissa is a great song to check out from his debut album of the same name.
Oh man so good to see ya'll getting into the King. Dudes vocal range is incredible and this video is part of a live show he did a few years ago despite being around 70 years old! The entire Abigail album is a masterpiece but if you're looking for something old school Satanic his first band Mercyful Fate is great too! The Oath is my favorite Mercyful Fate album.
King Diamond has some if the best riffs in metal you'll ever hear. Every single song is chock full of quality riffs and amazing guitar solos, heavy and melodic, never more or less than needed for the song. And the drumming always crisp and on point, fills galore. I always said if I could have a band with a certain heavy metal sound, I'd like it to sound like King Diamond. Check out LOA House, or Magic, or A Mansion in Darkness. Great headbanging songs, and when they do they're acoustic songs or interludes, nothing better
You'll have to do a full album of his to get the full breadth of the King. His story telling is just as phenomenal as the singing and theatrics.
You should watch some old Mercyful Fate songs first, like Evil or Don't Break the Oath.
King Diamond is all about storytelling and you have to listen full albums to understand the total concept. King Diamond is KING!!!
Always entertaining to see people react to King Diamond for the first time. You are correct in that it is very theatrical in that all King’s albums (excluding The Spider’s Lullaby and Fatal Portrait) are concept albums and thus tell a horror story on each album. Oh, and speaking of Fatal Portrait I think Chels’ looks like the portrait on the Fatal Portrait album artwork. However both those albums have songs that are linked conceptually, but not the whole album. Yeah digging into King Diamond catalog would be a good idea.
Cant find it live but the song "Tea" from King Diamonds album "Them" is a amazing. Most of King Diamonds albums are concept albums so they tell a story. The 2 biggest KD albums are Them and Abigail.
Fuck yes!!! All witness his majesty King Diamond!! This dude is a master story-teller...most of his albums are horror concept stories. You must check out the albums ABIGAIL and THEM. 🤟
This ☝️
KING DIAMOND getz my subscription every time
King is the King of horror rock! All his albums are conceptual. Epic ghost stories he uses different voices for different characters. Great stuff
Try family ghost or better yet the entire Abigail album
New here. You can't appreciate King Diamond without listening to a whole album. And yes he develops the stage show with the album. Part one of a double album dropping soon. Btw, I saw him in November 2019 in Philly. He's 64 and killing it.
Awesome video! Great to see the younger generation enjoying the music I grew up listening to. Also, Chels is like legendary level hot, you are a lucky man Matt!
Great reaction KING DIAMOND
Yes! This guys are absolute top notch musicians and has been so since early 80`s.
You should try his other band too "Mercyful Fate" and the song "Come to the Sabbath".
King diamond is the most talented band in the world!! I heard that song in 1989 when they released the album "conspiracy" it's still my favourite album, a masterpiece!🤘
Abigail is a must. The entire album is a Horror Story told in chapters via songs.
King Diamond is the man!! 🤘
king will grow on ya big time the more you listen ;D will always be my favorite
His albums tell a story throughout the entire thing. Amazing singer and still hitting these notes in his late 60s. Abigail is my personal favorite album. From his previous band , mercyful fate, my favorite album is Melissa or don't break the oath. Lots of music to go through with this one.
Check out The Family Ghost or Abigail from this same concert. King Diamond's albums are usually concept and this show was based off the Abigail album. This whole concert kicked ass. Hope you really check out more.
If you want a song recommendation I would check out the Family Ghost
This song is just a piece of part 2 of the story that begins with the album "Them".
King Diamond sings a lot of ghost stories, occult themes, and historical witch/religious dark history material, in a metal operatic presentation.
He is also vocalist for Mercyful Fate, and between the 2 bands (King Diamond/Mercyful Fate), he's produced decades of incredible music for true aficionados to appreciate.
Now you like King Diamond so much then you should try some live songs from his earlier days in the 80's and 90's
I first heard this way back in 1989. can you imagine what a timeless performance this is.
I saw this your live at the Palace Theater in Louisville, Kentucky. It was the last concert I saw live, in late 2019. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Great reaction! Abigail or Welcome home is a can't miss from the King
Ohh, King Diamond's albums are horror masterpieces!
I would like to recommend King Diamond - Halloween (Live in Philadelphia, this same concert)
You know the song has got you when you when you ask "Is he OK?" when he is acting in-pain.
The Tiny Tim of Metal... dang Chels, you got it !!
He was 59 when this was recorded also. amazing vocals.
and this my friends is how we get 2 new King Diamond fans, I am since 84, Abigail is a masterpiece but hear some Mercyful Fate songs as well!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Wait till you hear his vocals on the albums! The first 4 King Diamond albums are great! But... Listen to the "Abigail" album! The whole thing is great and it tells a spooky story about a ghost, a haunted + more... The vocals are obviously awesome, but King Diamond ALSO has some THE BEST guitar and drums in all of metal!!
Yeah The King is phenomenal his range is crazy. The band is tight and goes with his voice. The man is in his 60's and still brings it. "the candle" ""eye of the witch" "in the fire" w/ Matt Heafy and allstars Roadrunnerecords.
King Diamond is from DENMARK, ONE of the 1st metal bands to incorporate heavy metal with BLACK METAL, SUCCESSFULLY.
Felt the same when i started listening to king diamond and now im a big fan. You should check out Marcyful Fate
Hail to the King !!! \m/
Yeah chels, he was actually telling a story in deed. Every álbum king Diamond tells a story during the álbum, each song is like a chapter. You guys should try his other legendary band called Mercyful Fate. Greetings from Brasil, best of luck to you.
KD Is simply a fkn amazing genious
First time I ever heard him sing I started laughing just because metal singers are usually lower range. But once I got over the surprise, I started to like it
Listen to "Them", from start to finish.... A masterpiece !!!! And all of his albums are horror stories.... I Love Them All !!!
King is 64 years old. A pioneer in blank metal with his band Mercyful Fate
Amazing singer
King Diamond is a God at telling horror stories through his music! 🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼 Metallica was influenced by him and played a Mercyful Fate medley at concerts during their Garage Days tour. KD is Danish, as is Lars Ulrich.
Start early with his Black Rose record. Recorded in a bars basement in Denmark a long time ago, heavily influenced by Deep Purple. 😈😈😈
You've stumbled upon an iconic band with a voice so singular...that the band is named after the vocalist. He is King Diamond....they are King Diamond! He's a master story-teller of the macabre and his band are master musicians. Check out Abigail, Them, Conspiracy, and The Eye ...hell, check the discography. 🤘
7:45 King Diamond is like Beer. Most people don't like it their first taste, but it grows on you, to where you like it a lot.
Mercyful Fate - Doomed by the living dead. King on vocals. Just an awesome track.
I was shocked as well when I saw and heard him singing, I had a different perspective about his music by his looks. I believe the theatricals have to do with the albums being concept albums, not sure if all are. Interesting combination of music and flawless live performance
Listen to king diamond's, THEM, or Gramdmother. Also, listen to king's Halloween, and his Christmas song, NO PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS. CLASSIC KING DIAMOND.
Filmore gig is in full length on UA-cam. You know this guy and the excellent much underrated Andy LaRoque, the guitarist, have been around since the 80's?
For more King Diamond I highly recommend, Spirits, Broken Glass, The Ritual, Is any body there, The Exorcist. Any and all King Diamond is phenomenal.
Mercyful fate- witches dance and Lady in black are absolutely fantastic songs.
"Abigail" and "Them" albums are complete stories front to back. Sorry if it's already been commented, but definitely give the whole albums a listen all the way through if you get a chance. Great reaction ya'll!
King Diamond, the best.
Check Welcome home
YES!!
My King!!
At the graves by king diamond is a must!
Love seeing someone's mind getting blown
THEM... Thats the one!!! Listen to that album if you do no other.
K.D King among kings!!!
OMG,not "The"Shocker and "Tiny Tim of metal" Brilliant! As mentioned,King and Mercyful Fate had many concept albums. They tell a story from the 1st to last song. Melissa, Abigail and Them are my faves. I'd recommend Them for a first listen 🍻
[In my opinion] King's best 2 lineups were his first 2 from they first 4 albums
Fatal Portrait & Abigail: King (vocals), Michael Denner(lead/rhythm 1st guitar)
Andy La Rocque(lead/rhythm 2nd guitar), Timi Hansen (bass), & Mikkey Dee(drums)
W/Pete Blakk(2nd guitar lead/rhythm) & Hal Patino(bass) on the following 2 albums "Them" & "Conspiracy"
King diamond- Abigail
them and conspiracy are my favorite king diamond albums. you gotta read through the lyrics before getting lost in the music and trying to figure out wtf is hes singing about. all of his albums are concept albums that tell a story
Good to know! We need to check out more King Diamond here.
Mike Wead and Andy LaRocque on guitar are extremely good. Bass player Pontus Egberg and drummer Matt Thompson are keeping a steady beat. Listen to Mercyful Fate - The Uninvited Guest and Denner/Shermann - Satan's Tomb or Son of Satan. The original Mercyful Fate guitarist playing with drummer Snowy Shaw ex- King Diamond, bass player Mark Grabowski and vocalist Sean Peck. The Mercyful Fate video are King Diamond, Denner, Shermann, drummer Bjarne T. Holm and bass player Sharlee D'Angelo Arch Enemy
King Diamond and Mercyful Fate have many great songs. Test the song Charon.
Every kiing diamond song OR mercyful fate song is fucking bad ass...take youre pick you cant go wrong
Hail to the King 🤘
He IS telling a story
They Kind is in a league of his own. It will absolutely grow on you then all you need to do is listen to his evil stories and enjoy the masterful metal.
Yes, theatrical. But either listen to a whole KD album, or anything from the first two MF albums. Can't go wrong.
KD has always had the best guys playing for him!!
King is a real storyteller.
El maestro. Marco mi rumbo desde que lo escuche, hace ya mas de 30 años.
