Yes there was an element of danger to it when it came out I remember the high-school sub group it started venom, mercyful etc I just saw mercyful last Nov !!!!!🤟🤟
That's the King I remember from seeing him in concert several times in Chicago, especially at the Aragon Ballroom which is an intimate setting. Everyday is Halloween 🔥🎃🔥
King Diamond is the man with Respect.Back than their were alot of people who were trying to accuse him of alot things. In his interviews he was telling the truth.But still alot people hated him.Even the Priest.Cuase of his first album.Corpse without a Soul.The song NUNS HAVE NO FUN.The priest try to put him down cause of that song.But when King told the priest that their people"the priest's" what they did to the NUNS.The priest walk out of the interview. The truth hurts.King Diamond Rules.My Repects to the King.🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤
king diamond makes a good point. People love horror movies. Why do they hate evil rock music? its generally the same thing except you actually feel the evil through the music.
Heres the thing I don't like horror movies well not exclusively gory ones but I love heavy metal and lyrics about horror . I know it doesn't make sense but that's a how I'm wired.
Omg king is hilarious had mé laughing so hard "instead he sits up there , going aahaha! Those people people down there who Don't believe in me when the day comes im gonna roust em in hell haha " lmfao help me breathe
0:48 mulder is that you? 0.o wow the Kings accent is so noticeable here. i just came from a bunch of recent interviews...wow he speaks english so fluently now.
At the end of the day, King is teaching us some of the most important life lessons; think for yourself, don't be afraid to be different and don't decriminalize others for their way of life. I have no problem if people are satanists, unless it involves in harming other people in some way. I think the concept of satanism is very subjective and for me it symbolizes freedom of being who you want to be and being an individual.
As an atheist,there is good in the bible,and it's sad that most of it is stepped over.It seems people are motivated by ignorance to avoid the good lessons and morals in the bible (which are remarkably few for a book that is touted as 'the basis of morailty') and instead focus on the mythology,as if they could be make up for the harm they do by saying the ridiculous stories in the bible have to be taken literally.
King is my favorite of all time. Had his logo tattooed on my skin. That's a fan. Every year for Halloween, I am in full King attire. 50 ur old. Been listening since 14 is. Life is to short to judge others n there music... just enjoy the spirit of the King and all the memories we have while listening. Peace
@DanPat121 it may have been as he talks a ton about it to us on his talks and emails. He did say there have been a lot of quotes that have been wrong and many bad rumors which is one reason he decided to do these talks to the fans to clear up certain things personally.
I saw fate in 84 in the states 2 nites in one week with original line up one with exciter and two nites later with motorhead and exciter they played devil eyes live on the 2nd show
Very Intelligent, King Diamond is. He can explain is beliefs and philosophy in a way that makes a lot of sense without needing to resort to attacks or ranting. I really respect that. Probably helps that I agree with what he's saying, though!
I like the way King lays it on the line between satanism and Christianity he holds nothing back I need to beat the truth yeah why believe in a god you have to be afraid of if if he's so Almighty then show himself so that he exists one hell of a performer King Diamond is awesome
King and I share the same beliefs for the most part although I won't call myself a "Satanist" because that word is used so much for something sick and derogatory. I don't believe in "God," but I do believe that Christ was a great man who would be horrified by Christianity. If he was indeed the son of God why didn't "God" save him from such a horrible death? People would nail King Diamond to a cross if they could! That's what scares me- fanaticism and true fascism. Burning records and persecuting musicians is disgusting!!!! I do celebrate Christmas- always have always will. However, I'm what is known as an "Atheist." I'm actually very complex. King Diamond is just one inspiration, but he's a man I wish would never die and be here forever. I feel the same way about my family and I feel that every man on this earth with an open mind is my brother. What has Christianity done? Deceived and destroyed people, made people murder other people, made evils like Hitler and Stalin possible! SO FUCK CHRISTIANITY!
You may already know this; but King is a LaVeyan Satanist, meaning he's an atheist who believes in a philosophy of rational egoism and liberation based on what he sees from the character Lucifer in the Bible. In other words he doesn't worship Satan; but rather takes his character as something of a loose role model and representation of humanity's repressed desires personified.
NoneOfTheAbove The proper, logical, realistic and ONLY way to identify a Christian is by knowing there speech and actions.. Murdering thousands of people is in 180 degree direct contrast to the teachings of Christianity....The Ten Commandments is a large and well known component of the very basics of Christian guidelines..."Thou shall not kill" is one of the commandments !! So calling hitler a Christian is like saying that water is dry....
I'm a christian (I know, it seems kind of strange to be a christian, but one of your favorite singers is King Diamond and you like bands like Slayer, Death, etc.), and I think that God doesn't want to stop evil because he wants everyone to learn and experience what NOT to do
KICK ASS !!!! I do loves me some vintage Mercyful Fate. You can see the beginning of Hank Shermann's onstage fashion statements that eventually closed this chapter of the band ha ha ha....
" 'He he he, those people don't believe in me and when that final day comes I'm gonna roast them in hell!' " That's probably the single biggest reason I ceased to be religious.
@69drummerdan lol I am quoting King himself. are you saying he does not know which band was satanic and which one is not? Plus it is obvious that King is Satanic and Mercyful Fate is not. King himself has said this so many times
@7SeasonsovFireBlaze I remember learning about that at school. I can't remember the name of the dude who wanted to be crucified upside down, but if my memory serves me correctly, it was because he was sentenced to death via crucifixion, but didn't feel he was worthy to die the same way as Jesus, so chose to be crucified upside down so it wasn't the same. The inverted cross used by Satanists, however, is meant to show the opposite of Christianity.
Man are you wrong Ive been a King Diamond follower for 25 years Im also a Christian. But the first three albums or maybe first 5 are the baddest ass Metal
People probably shocked back in the days when they meet this guy. He's totally level headed lmao. He's rational, deep, interesting, and charming.
I have talked to King and yes he is a class act
You have no idea .
I love that King is so serious about satanism even still
GyroLamb SUPER charming
You forgot very nerdy.
That interview took place during the golden age of metal.
I find it funny how softly spoken he is considering he is an absolute vocal powerhouse on stage.
He is a artist with an intellect like no other
fucking awesome. how can you not like this man?
Has an angels voice...
One of the smartest interviews on the subject
agree
Metal desperately needs more talents like this.
No it doesn't
Yes there was an element of danger to it when it came out I remember the high-school sub group it started venom, mercyful etc I just saw mercyful last Nov !!!!!🤟🤟
King Diamond is one of the most open-minded and intelligent individuals, very much crushes the malicious "damn dirty satan worshipper" stereotype.
That's the King I remember from seeing him in concert several times in Chicago, especially at the Aragon Ballroom which is an intimate setting. Everyday is Halloween 🔥🎃🔥
Long live King Diamond! 🤘🏻
So Mercyful Fate, Venom AND, Slayer where opening for Razor? The only band who did not make it.
The irony is strong here
+Marcos Sanchez And I did not even mention Metallica...WTF??? Razor has to be the worst luck story in metal.
Forget the story of Anvil...The story or RAZOR!
+DRAMATICA Still waiting!
DRAMATICA Ikr how fucking ironic is that? xD
I miss king’s earrings
IKR
Sickest vocals Kim! Can't wait to see you on halloween!
San Francisco!! Woooo!!!
Las Vegas!
Atlanta, Ga!!
I love the part also where King says about the priests he talks too as Poor them LOL as they cannot answer any questions. I know what he means
Excellent classic interview!!!

Thank you !! You are still a smart man KD.
Hahah, love his danish accent.
A real bad ass
Thanks for posting this!
The clip is from Toronto, Canada Nov./'84.
Omg king is hilarious had mé laughing so hard "instead he sits up there , going aahaha! Those people people down there who Don't believe in me when the day comes im gonna roust em in hell haha " lmfao help me breathe
That live footage was killer! Wish there was more.
King is the man!
King has made valid points!!
Agree
Those were the good ol days!
I would like to hear him sing nursery rhymes
0:48 mulder is that you? 0.o
wow the Kings accent is so noticeable here. i just came from a bunch of recent interviews...wow he speaks english so fluently now.
King Diamond speaks the truth!
yes hail a good album, al the guys who like this music work or have a job they are good people
King diamond is a very very smart man !
Its so awesome that he's from denmark
Very interesting point, you are right
King is wearing a Slayer "Show No Mercy" shirt in the interview.
80s was awesome!! =D
King rules
All hail the king............ literally
The King, has spoken...
2019!!!
Love KD he is awesome !
cool video!!
Trust, truth and reality.👍
That was fucking amazing!
Sería muy interesante que subtitularan esta entrevista.
Hail!!

ops, here you are! I've just wanted to show you this interview.
That's awesome; King is a Laveyan Satanist yet still thinks some of the Bible is good. This guy is one of the most underrated Metal Gods out there
I'm a Born again Christian. But the only thing unsettling about KD to me is that he's a Dallas Cowboy fan. The Horror! Burn him at the stake!!!!LOL!
King Diamond just might be God.... seeing how people react to what is told.
As an atheist,there is good in the bible,and it's sad that most of it is stepped over.It seems people are motivated by ignorance to avoid the good lessons and morals in the bible (which are remarkably few for a book that is touted as 'the basis of morailty') and instead focus on the mythology,as if they could be make up for the harm they do by saying the ridiculous stories in the bible have to be taken literally.
Deal with it - Because - God exists - The Bible is true

I remember this . . . it's from the New Music or Much Music in Canada. That's Mordecai Richler's son interviewing King.
OMG, I want that shirt he signed
the skull introduction kicked ass! and he's got some sound religious ideas as well.
@DanPat121 it may have been as he talks a ton about it to us on his talks and emails. He did say there have been a lot of quotes that have been wrong and many bad rumors which is one reason he decided to do these talks to the fans to clear up certain things personally.
i like his philosophy on religon
I saw fate in 84 in the states 2 nites in one week with original line up one with exciter and two nites later with motorhead and exciter they played devil eyes live on the 2nd show
D'awwwwwwww 0:29 gets me every time. Every. Time.
Very Intelligent, King Diamond is. He can explain is beliefs and philosophy in a way that makes a lot of sense without needing to resort to attacks or ranting. I really respect that. Probably helps that I agree with what he's saying, though!
great to see the king in his old make up. great interview, must be from the new music, muchmusic?
Anyone have that full performance footage of Gypsy anywhere?
I like the way King lays it on the line between satanism and Christianity he holds nothing back I need to beat the truth yeah why believe in a god you have to be afraid of if if he's so Almighty then show himself so that he exists one hell of a performer King Diamond is awesome

King does believe in spirits and powers too lets not forget

God DID stop evil. It's called the cross. But people must choose.
Is there any more from this concert up somewhere? Never seen it.
Is there anymore footage of that live footage at the end? looks rad
king diamond is fucking metal!! \m/
Truth Be Told: 121 + 121 + 212 + 212 = ❤️❤️😘😘💋💋
video why did you stop just when i was rocking out :(
lol that's good to hear :P
I love King !! You also have to go back to that timeframe when it came out there was an aura of danger to it
KICK ASS !!!! I do loves me some vintage Mercyful Fate. You can see the beginning of Hank Shermann's onstage fashion statements that eventually closed this chapter of the band ha ha ha....
@PRHILL9696 How do you make direct contact with him?
0:10 Timeless
What type of vocal range are his high vocals? Some kind of countertenor?
2:34 is the best!!!
i like how king diamond is respectful when asked about religion.... A.KA he is not a ass about it.....
" 'He he he, those people don't believe in me and when that final day comes I'm gonna roast them in hell!' "
That's probably the single biggest reason I ceased to be religious.
1984
BTW if anyone wants a link to one of the interviews where King explains some of this let me know and I can email the link to you
send one to evil-genius-6@hotmail.com if the link still works
King Diamond is my dad
i belive that the song in the beginning is the song "Gypsy"
good and clear statements about christianity
What's the song at the beginning?
@PRHILL9696 The interview was one he gave to a Danish website in February of 2006. For all I know it may have been mistranslated.
i would haunt his ass if he took my skull and showed it to a bunch of people
+do not fucking subscribe No you wouldn't. You would tour the world for free.
His singing in falsetto
@6Goat6Skrote6 I see, cool!
Very well put and I think King would agree. I always thought he did a great job of explaining Satanism
@69drummerdan lol I am quoting King himself. are you saying he does not know which band was satanic and which one is not? Plus it is obvious that King is Satanic and Mercyful Fate is not. King himself has said this so many times
@7SeasonsovFireBlaze I remember learning about that at school. I can't remember the name of the dude who wanted to be crucified upside down, but if my memory serves me correctly, it was because he was sentenced to death via crucifixion, but didn't feel he was worthy to die the same way as Jesus, so chose to be crucified upside down so it wasn't the same. The inverted cross used by Satanists, however, is meant to show the opposite of Christianity.
daledaddy1 he'd make a great Jekyll/Hyde on Broadway. This being said from an ex-Constantine fan's point of view
@7SeasonsovFireBlaze Haha good point
@PRHILL9696 haha, its my main band/mates
oh you...well i am fine nowadays...
lmao i'm fine anyhow
Where’s the rest of Gypsy? 😅
Actually he´s right.
half the ppl in the vid look like my dad
@balancepiston what proof
Man are you wrong Ive been a King Diamond follower for 25 years Im also a Christian. But the first three albums or maybe first 5 are the baddest ass Metal
