Mercyful Fate live at Phillips Monsters of Rock - Sao Paulo - Brazil - 1996. The Quality and Edition is poor but the King Diamond performance always fuck crazy!
By the by Nevadatyler13, Rob Halford was singing like this off Screaming For Vengeance which came out in 1982 , whereas Piece Of Mind came out in 1983.....Melissa was released in 1983 as well, just for the record. If anything, Rob Halford was the inspiration that fueled many great metal singers of the 80's.....
Hey there! In the past the youtube didn't had a possibility to up with more quality but now we can! :) I promisse that I will rip again with stereo sound and others stuffs.
Back in the day they might have done this. A lot of guitar players in those days were pretty competitive in the metal world and didn’t want people figuring out what they were doing. In the early years of Van Halen Eddie would play his solos with his back to the crowd to hide his whammy tricks and taps. It was a game of constant one ups that sorta ended with the grunge era.
@SuperEziokiller Yeah, Mercyful fate was a big influence for Metallica so the song called "Mercyful fate" by metallica is various songs by Mercyful fate.
I just really hate that the camera man missed the first solo. I mean, when I first saw it, I said "Wait, that's not Shermann or Wead, so what the fuck is this guy doing? That has to be the slowest guitar player I've ever seen." Then I saw it was the bass, and got even more pissed that the camera man missed the solo.
Agreed, even when you go to see good bands (or anything non emo/pop punk/or"hard rock") people try an start a mosh or crowd surfing, but then someone gets hurt or pissed and it ruins the show. Since I'm 24 and part of the age group that ruined concerts, I hope I am not judged by the actions of my ahole peers. BTW King diamond sounds like hes in the studio laying down Melissa! Excellent performance.
@duduse On many videos from the 90's one sees thousands of people in the crowd jumping up and down and headbanging. Now it's all standing around, with a few people doing this 'wall of death' shite, something which actually distracts from the music. Crowd surfing as well. It's not about enjoying the music, but about posing.
Forever my favorite Fate song.
King Diamond's voice is amazing! The way he hits those high notes... First time I heard it i was floored O_O
Diamond’s falsetto is beautifully insane
it's fucking crazy how kind diamond can go from singing so high to singing low. and its even crazier that he can still sing like this
not as raspy in the falsetto nowadays but he is still able to sing this
I was there too, sweating to death, and enjoying a lot. I'll never forget this show, Mercyful Fate is awesome!
how lars ulrich described king diamond "the devil himself"
lived 48 years but this will always be a classic as heard on radio 1 friday rock show hosted by late great tommy vance
king diamond has the most unique voice :0

BIO Terrorista não exagera

Quem ta ouvindo em 2021?
La primera canción de una obra maestra del Heavy Metal...
EVILLLLLL
🖤🖤🖤🦇
I was there! I wish concerts now were still like that... with everybody headbanging and having fun, not filming with digital fucking cameras!
yes, zoom up on the person not playing the solo and focus on something less relevant...i wonder if they do this on purpose.
Back in the day they might have done this. A lot of guitar players in those days were pretty competitive in the metal world and didn’t want people figuring out what they were doing.

They do this because they don't understand anything about music, they don't even know who is playing the solo
Un millon de grados , King sigue con toda su vestimenta negra xD grande Mercyful lml
King Diamond @ Air Guitar = Epic WIN!!!
Oh man very nice
Hail King Diamond!
Eu estava la!
Clássico!
@RichMaxwell
Rob Halford wasnt singing like this allot untill the albums like Painkiller.King Diamond perfected it\m/
Sad Wings of Destiny
@SuperEziokiller Yeah, Mercyful fate was a big influence for Metallica so the song called "Mercyful fate" by metallica is various songs by Mercyful fate.
THE KING AND I =THE METAL YEARS ...MY LIFE ......YOURS?
KING'S VOCAL CORDS ARE UNDER A SPELL....THEY CAN PUT YOU UNDER A SPELL.
I hope one day comes the great king Diamond to Peru. :c
I think this was a concert at Pacaembú Stadium São Paulo in the mid 90s.
Canta muito
damn the best fucking metal ever!!!
I was there.
camera guy didn't attend the bass/guitar difference class..
Camarógrafo no tiene idea....enfoca al bajista en los solos de guitarra
GUILLERMO BASCUÑAN en realidad el pelotudo es el director
grande solo..... notável!!!
Agreed
That cameraman is without a single brain cell. He even goes back to the bassist again for solo #2.
Toda Banda é boa, mas o batera teve bons momentos nesta performance!!
@MelRules911
He is.
2:45 to 3:15 AMAZING why aren't they being recognized come on they're good!
yes
I just really hate that the camera man missed the first solo. I mean, when I first saw it, I said "Wait, that's not Shermann or Wead, so what the fuck is this guy doing? That has to be the slowest guitar player I've ever seen." Then I saw it was the bass, and got even more pissed that the camera man missed the solo.
Years and years and years and years of practice and experience...but I still see what you mean lol
Likasssso
how could anyone hit such a high note without getting kicked in the nuts
Seriously, this song is all about guitar solos. Who cares what the bassist does. He can't steal anything form the guitarist.
The camera man is not guilty. The guilty is who edited the video.
El camarógrafo no es el culpable, sino el que editó el video.
showing the base player at the first solo was funny to watch
brazilian crowd rulezzz

this song came out the same year as the trooper
Best love song for Adam and Eve, black metal god king diamond guru
Yeah... On e-mule. This is a short concert (I think 1 hour, 30 for king and 30 for mercy).
I posted all videos form this concert.
rock you
....also, this song is hella fun to play on Guitar Hero Metallica
Sharlee Di Angelo on bass!!!!
lmao! XD why would they show the bassist during the guitar solo? [5x]

LOLOL I GOTTA GET A LEG MIC STAND!!!!! LOLOLOL
Isso foi lá em São Paulo em Brasil que
Mercyful foi legal é rock roll
Sou sua fã mercyful mané
Será que é convidado pro Rock in Rio??
@electric90 Because bass is amazing :P
Lars is a nice guy to give King's band his snare
NOT ME...I THINK THE SOUND AND VIDEO ARE REALLY GOOD....NOT DVD QUALITY, BUT HEY......
Definitely. At first I thought "Wait, what the hell?" Then noticed it was a bass and the cameraman failed.
Brasilllllllllllllll
Bad Fucking Ass!!
man kings got voice live rox :)
The voice needs moonlight to work properly.
one guy is playing a strat, the other was a flying V who was the other guy, the basist?
they tod the bassist was a guitar player in the solo.....in,..... 0:50
ya bro, u dnt know how many young peeople thinks that this music isn`t so popular or whatever , well i give damn shit about that kind of opinions...
@Krow83
Lol - i had a feeling you'd be a bassist :)
Fair point. lol
Hey!... Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" called...it wants its rhythm back...and Rob Halford's vocal style need not be duplicated either.
10 years later n still dumbest comment
@duduse you are just lucky!!!!!!
and yes thats the real way to enjoy a concert not with those stupid cameras
the metallica version is awesome but this fucking rules
yep its fucked. but when i go to shows i get in the pit and we still go nutz. fuck yeah
whyed the camera man film the bass player during the guitar solo, does he not know the difference
Somebody needs to turn Micheal Denner up. I can barely hear the guy.....
