@@elculiaodelosjudaspriest Well, you certainly know your music, friend.

@@neonspec damn right

Lemmy was like that

but his get up is fucking dated...not classy...old ass dated. I bet Kerry is feeling like you when you talk to a guy who has a splat of mustard on his face...and you are trying to politely direct the interaction towards that fact...but after a while just give up and act as if everything ist as it is supposed to be.

i love discovering that the tough metal artists that i listen too... actually show very high inteligence and kindness... such a good feeling

HE IS A ROCK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slayer was a lil later and pretty crude. Still is. I like Slayer a lot but not as much as Maiden and KD. DIO was pretty good most people forget about RJD. RAW TALENT. I would shit on stage for sure and forget everything. LMAO!

he is real smart and does story telling you got to look it up OMG and get the kids.

he looks like a clown

И мой самый любимый музыкант на протяжении многих лет.

He deserve it ❤

It took me a minute to get used to his voice when I first heard him, but the older I’m getting the more amazing he is to me. I consider him the Stephen King of heavy metal.

True! I wish he was a friend of mine! Just sit and talk about music, UFOs, coin and stamp collections or pets, he would listen an debate in a civilized way

@@JoefraSingapore Thanks for reminding me of this post man, cheers. Recently been following King's twitch streams and getting the same vibes.

he also looks like a clown

@@HalitZini I'm new to King Diamond. Never heard a track. What album would you recommend 1st to christen me? Please see my comment above. Thanks 👊

@@theadjuster151 Cheers friend. Here take the same poison I've been given: "The Eye". Start from the first track and go one by one for the best experience. (haven't seen any comments, sorry if I missed anything relevant)

Agreed. And fuck the douche who commented below. I don't like beiber but I also don't watch his videos and leave comments about how he sucks. Whiny bitch. Lol

+Mickey Holm And a Danish accent you could cut with a knife :P

+Mickey Holm :D I agree, but that comment says basically that: Lars Ulrich is NOT Danish at all, because he is NOT humble and he's acting like a dick since day 1.

41Djfu#lksdkjfd Hehe, Lars used to ct like a dick, but I actually think he is very humble and chill these days. I met him once, and he really seems like a nice guy. But when he was young....yeah he was quit a douche :/

Alan Frost Haha! I love that he has lived in the states for like 40 years, and he still has such a stiff accent ;)

I’ll believe anything the guy with the Phil Lynott profile pic says!

Kerry King is more of a jester of metal. He was just along for the ride.

@@Peekadam and you weren't there, so you might shut up as well.

Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you! Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness. I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits. Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is basically Humanism. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven. Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil. “Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all.

+Todes Blei Agreed, King is very "danish" when it comes to his personality ;)

+Mickey Holm Can you please cut out all that immature "danish pride" bullshit you are polluting all comments with? You make me (and others) feel embarrased being Danish. What the fuck does nationality has to do with anything. The art and the music is what matters.

+Todes Blei And they're both Gemini!

Had to chime in here. If anyone has followed Metallica from the beginning, they would know that King Diamond was one of their main idols when they started out. Common knowledge n stuff.

I used to play out at a club that hosted many bigger bands and Mercyful Fate was one of them. I got to eat burgers for lunch with King Diamond. His bass player sent me to the store for some smokes. ahh fun times

he doesn't write riffs

I think he probably writes an entire album in his sleep.

he doesn't contribute to riff writing, he's a songwriter not a guitarist.

He's a visionary, he "arranges" and writes. Arranged Melissa and DBTO. A master writer.

are you on drugs or something?

Shawn Thomas me too

Shawn Thomas long live the King,,,,,,

Gil Hernandez long live the king diamond albums, i presume?

So what?

Do you hate zlayer man??

+Toxic Agnostic Nobody puts that much time into an album cover anymore. Looking at "them" for the first time painted a grotesque, vivid picture in my mind; before I'd even put the needle on the record.

That's true man, back then musicians actually cared about the cover art.

+Toxic Agnostic I was like that with Abigail.

+hammerhorde yeah, dude that's a great album!

+Toxic Agnostic I saw the video for Family ghost in 1987 & was what the hell is this?when Them came out in1988 I saw the video for welcome home & Loved the song so I bought the tape. Toxic - think this & Atrophy - violent by nature I bought without hearing any of the music.

Jeremy Nelson- I met Bobby and Dave. Very cool guys. Dave gave me one of his Coors lights and I still have the bottle.

I'm 45 and just found them last year. So embarrassing that I missed them growing up. Now I'm - that guy - who cranks Mercyful Fate out of his Subaru Impreza in 2019.

¡Absolutely! The Show in LA was also amazing of course. King played a very complete set. I was so enthused and excited while watching the show that I wasn't even aware of the time passing. Seeing the King once definitely isn't enough. I hope to catch him again on the next go around.

Mike Sullivan Slayer is on its farewell tour now. So good luck, but remember- GOD LISTENS TO SLAYER!!! 🤘🏼
