    From what I can gather from this mix, is that there are at least 5 different mercyful fate songs
    1 - Satan's fall
    2- curse of the Pharaoh's
    3- corpse without a soul
    4 - into the coven
    5- evil
    All worth reacting to it.

      You beat me to it brother. Love this mashup!

    • @jorgmuhlberg3632
      @jorgmuhlberg3632 3 года назад +5

      And these songs are all on their first album "Melissa" released in 1983. And I still own the LP, wich I bought in 1983.

    • @666agalloch
      @666agalloch 3 года назад +2

      Yes they are all from Melissa. It wasn't that hard to pick up on them. I personally don't like this mix.

    • @BlackieNuff
      @BlackieNuff 3 года назад +2

      Indeed, there are 5 different songs in this medley, all from the Melissa album - only 2 shy from using the whole album, lol : Black Funeral and At The Sound Of The Demon Bell (aka Halloween)
      If you really want to be through and precise, you could add a 6th section to the medley by acknowledging the reprise of Satan's Fall at the end. :-)
      EDIT : Whoops! My bad - some MF fan I am, I mistakenly attributed A Corpse WIthout Soul as being from the Melissa album (it was from the EP)... so that means 3 songs were not used from Melissa, the third song being the bloody title track itself, Melissa, lol.
      How could I cock that up so bad? :-P

    Garage Inc. is one of my fave metallica albums. A double CD of covers of songs by bands they liked/influenced by.

  • @Jim.G
    @Jim.G 3 года назад +31

    My favorites off of Garage Inc., besides the Merciful Fate medley: the Diamondhead covers "Am I Evil", "Helpless" and "The Prince", Budgie's "Breadfan".
    Also, in more recent years they did a similar cover medley of Dio (Rainbow) songs which is great, called "Ronnie Rising"

    • @jamesmichaels1124
      @jamesmichaels1124 2 года назад

      Which is about as close as the Garage Inc. sound as they got, especially with 'Kill The King', which is my favorite part of the 'Medley'.

  • @vinograd74
    @vinograd74 3 года назад +34

    Man, the "secret man" that writes all lyrics for King Diamond - is..... Guess who? Lol. King Diamond. And also King Diamond wrote all lyrics for Mercyful Fate. So there are no mysteries here - the "backstage genius" is the on-stage genius, and King Diamond is a genius.Lars Ulrich and King Diamond are both from Denmark so - they know each other in person and Metallica as a band did some gigs with Mercyful Fate.

      I read he also wrote most of the instruments, probably during the Solo career; he doesn't play them live though-- I think he was always holding that (real?) skeleton or something; hard to remember.

  • @BlackieNuff
    @BlackieNuff 3 года назад +9

    I call this the "MERCYFUL MEDLEY"...
    1:31 I. SATAN'S FALL
    2:19 II. CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS
    5:24 III. A CORPSE WITHOUT SOUL
    7:01 IV. INTO THE COVEN
    8:47 V. EVIL
    12:24 VI. SATAN'S FALL [Reprise]
    I suppose one could go for the alliteration trifecta and call it "Metallica's Mercyful Medley"...
    If not for "Corpse", the medley would be made up entirely of songs from the Melissa album... then it could be called "Metallica's Mercyful Melissa Medley"

  • @TheViperSlash

    This song was my introduction to King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. I went to the local record store and picked up Don't Break the Oath and the guy behind the counter handed me House of God and told me that I would want that one as well. Absolutely amazing.

    • @localredroberto2352
      @localredroberto2352 Год назад

      Don't break the oath is absolutely one of my all time favourite album's, Mercyful Fate Is just one of the best bands even tho I don't agree with the satanic views at all, the music is still absolutely phenomenal

  • @genelogan702

    it's actually a compilation of parts of five different mercyful Fate songs Satan's fall... curse of the Pharaohs... a corpse without a soul... into the coven and evil
    I was fortunate to have a bud who was bass/guitar tech for King Diamond/Mercyful Fate....seen/ met them many times

  • @StormrazorOfficial
    @StormrazorOfficial 3 года назад +10

    King Diamond records are basically horror stories in album form,
    the whole album tells a particular story, so one King Diamond song out of context might not make alot of sense lyrically,
    as far as this song, its a medley of Mercyful Fate songs

  • @Xequio
    @Xequio 3 года назад +7

  • @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay
    @WhatDayIsItTrumpDay 3 года назад +1

    Speaking of Mercyful Fate (MF), and King Diamond's (KD) solo stuff (which is kinda funny if you know what's up, in that King just wasn't pleased with the direction MF was going in at the time...which ended up disbanding the band...temporarily...until they got back together years later for several more albums) is that their music is very progressive. Lots of time and rhythm changes. Their music was originally classified as Black Metal, but once the Norwegian Black Metal bands took over the mantra in the 90s, Black Metal became synonymous with the Norwegian style.

  • @MrDabulls23
    @MrDabulls23 3 года назад +5

    Seen them 5 times live. 3 of those after this double LP, I’m pretty sure they usually play at least one song from it. Luckily for me it has been a different song each of those 3 times. Last time a couple years ago it was “Whiskey in the Jar”. One of the many reasons why Metallica kicks ass.

  • @billshaw2939

  • @BlackieNuff
    @BlackieNuff 3 года назад

    King writes ALL the lyrics for both Mercyful Fate and his solo project.
    He wrote/writes most of the music, but other band members have made excellent contributions, including Hank Shermann, Michael Denner, and Andy LaRocque.

  • @sumonjamal1653
    @sumonjamal1653 3 года назад

    Mercyful Fate was from Denmark... their lead singer King Diamond wrote controversial lyrics about satanism and horror fiction. They debuted in the early 80's before Metallica even had a record out... their 1983 album 'Melissa' and "Don't break the oath" from 1984 were incredible heavy metal albums. However, the band split in 1985 cos guitarist Hank Shermann wanted to explore more 'funk' rock music... the band renamed themselves King Diamond and released their debut album 'Fatal portrait' in 1986. The 2nd album 'Abigail' in 1987 was what made King Diamond a success, their first album w/ a full concept story based on macabre horror fiction.
    Mercyful Fate did reunite in 1993 for the album 'In the shadows' (Lars Ulrich of Metallica played drums on 1 song) and they released 5 albums in the 90's before parting ways again in 2000... King Diamond kept recording solo albums as well.
    King Diamond is working on a new album due out soon... Mercyful Fate was planning to play shows in 2020 when covid-19 hit.
    Original Mercyful Fate bassist Timi Hansen, who also played on the 1st 2 King Diamond albums, passed away in 2019 from cancer (R.I.P 😷)

    If you really would like to go left field on this album check out Turn the Page, a Bob Seger cover or Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Both are very different from what Metallica normally plays but they are both brilliant.

    More reactions to Mercyful Fate and King Diamond!! If you liked the riffs and lyrical content for this, you will love the other stuff. You can't go wrong with most of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond's stuff. I personally recommend "Welcome Princes of Hell" as that it one that seems to get overlooked.

(the lead singer sounds just like James. They'v toured, and played at metal festivals, around the world. The Beatles had 'The White Album, Metallica had 'The Black Album, Beatallica has 'The Grey Album'/'Beatallica'. These guys are legit musicians

    Lars is a good friend of King Diamond, both Danish. He also drums on the Merciful Fate song Return Of The Vampire, this version is on the Merciful Fate compilation album Return Of The Vampire. You should listen to the original Merciful Fate songs. Metallica is a great band, but the original Merciful Fate line-up is undefeated. Drum and bass from Kim Ruz and Timmie Grabber, the best guitar duo ever Michael Denner and Hank Shermann and over that all King's high falsetto screams!!!!

    Garage Inc includes the "$5.98 EP" from 1987. When I could not find that EP on CD anymore, Garage Inc came to the rescue. If not for that, the "Creeping Death" b-sides (Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg), and this "Mercyful Medley", I might not have bothered with this compilation. The other covers are okay, a couple or even pretty good, though I'm not a fan of Tuesday's Gone... too bluesy and mellow for Metallica, lol. What's next... soon they be wailin and cryin that their woman done left and took all the money from the mason jar and only left the broke-down pickup truck and an old one-eyed hound dog.

    I have a CD with a live recording of this on it. James called it 15 minutes in hell. Even better live.
