King is 68 years old and is still killing it! I seen King a few nights ago in Cincinnati and he sounds as good now as he did 40 years ago! Long live the King!
When I heard his wife was singing on stage, I thought shed be covering for him because of vocal issues. It turns out she's just adding all the doubled vocals that KD uses so often on record. It really sounds amazing live.
King Diamond is the best and is one of my all time favs .... he gets better and better! I have seen him and Merciful Fate 6 times and was never disappointed! He has had some amazing musicians with him and the backing vocals is icing on the cake. Great reaction vid too Beth. Thank you!
I first saw King in a Metal Magazine I purchased back in the day. Oddly, I thought him to be called King Demon, scurrying passed his picture of him on stage with cross bones microphone stand. Unbeknownst to me, I no clue the guy in my magazine was in fact the guy I was hearing for the first time on a radio show I loved call Metal Shop with The Butcher Charley K. As the song Abigail played I found myself loss for words at what I was hearing. I instantly LOVED it, with no getting use to the vocals or letting the song grow on me, I was instantly a fan. I still did not put 2 & 2 together till the night Metal Shop had King on for a long interview & album promotion for this masterpiece called "Them" After sitting through this interview hearing the ghost stories, & of course getting my first real spooked out feeling of what I was hearing from "Them" as you hear, Lhhhoook, the old bitch is back. I being a horror fan & a fairly new fan of Metal, the two horror & Metal was a perfect mix, & who better to do it? I was spooked excited, & in just over all awww at what I heard, plus the realization it was the same guy who sang Abigail & who was in my Metal Magazine NOT named King Demon, but seems like it would have made more sense actually. A instant fan I was & he just about dethroned my favorite Metal band at the time Iron Maiden, & you had to be DAMN SPECIAL to pull that off. I begged, cried, said I would do this chore, that chore if you buy me this tape. A few weeks after the release of the absolutely FANTASTIC Masterpiece "Them" I heard my Mother say " It is time for Tea" ok that is a LIE (See what I did there)? Reference to the note inside Conspiracy! My Mother actually said " Heyyy come here" & walk down the hall, I see her hand sticking out of the bathroom with a cassette. I see the Front cover & I do believe I got a bit misty eyed. You would have thought someone handed The real Excalibur. That is my journey into King, & have literally been a fan of EVERYTHING he put out & I mean everything except the song he did for Probot, but hey 1 out of 10000 is not a bad run, would you say?
I haven't had the chance to meet him myself, but I've always heard he's the friendliest and coolest guy you'd ever want to meet. Alot like Dio. One of my favorite things in life is the picture of him with Michael Sweet. While I'm not a fan of Stryper and don't agree eith him mich (and I'm not a subscriber to Kings philosophy either) I love that it shows the maturity and honesty it shows in them both.
@@LordLanthros1 I was also very fortunate to have met and gotten to know Ronnie James Dio as well. He was truly in a class by himself, not only as easily one of the top 3 metal vocalists of all time, but he was such a genuinely kind and gracious human. I appreciate what you said about maybe liking certain performers, but not agreeing with their philosophy...... We need more of that in the world. Cheers to you!
only one band seems to follow in his steps, and they are doing a good job though they arent at hislevel yet. Attic! been a fan of the king since 2003 where i by chance stumpled upon a album of his as a early teen.
I have seen King twice, but did not get to meet him. However, the second time I saw him was on my Birthday in New Orleans 11/15/15. I was almost front row for that show, which was one of the BEST live shows I ever heard & saw. After the show my sis looks down, bends over, when she comes up she says " Happy birthday bro" & handed me Andy's black Guitar pick . As blown away as I was that did not compare to what was about to take place. Andy is my all time favorite guitarist so his Plectrum was a big deal to me, but after standing around outside I see the drummer. I walk up Matt & talk for a bit, such a polite, down to earth guy. Totally friendly with no rock star attitude. Got pictures & was walking to the car with my sis when OMG Andy & Mike come walking right by, but moved fast like do not even approach me. Sad I felt but understood, it is cold & plus they probably tired. I said well nonetheless, great show it was & I got his Plectrum. We get in the car & as we go to leave my friend & my sis say Dude you may never get another chance, & it is your Birthday, there is the bus they got on, go try to meet them. I thought about till I pumped myself up the nerve to do it. I walk up to their I believe tour manager or bus driver which sadly passed away. I says, it is my birthday and Andy is my all time favorite guitarist, & I absolutely love Mike Wead guitar playing. He says, sorry but they are not meeting anyone. I am not sure if the look in my eyes touched his heart, or he wanted pull a fast one on the guys to freeze their ass off, but he says "Hold on,wait here" He cones back around says & says " if you make it fast, they will meet you" LOOK, I have met A lot of my favorites, a bit nervous here & there I was, but this time I was FULL BLOWN STAR STRUCK When Andy & Mike stepped off of that bus my knees got weak & I barely could talk. I was shuddering like a total mindless moron. My sis was almost having to translate what I was trying to say, It was totally funny. (Uhhh uhhh Andy Uhhh I uhhh) My sis steps in " Ohhh My Brother is such a big fan, I look back like how you might picture a damn cartoon dog going urrfff yeaa yeaaa what she said. Gwaddamn embarrassing. To sum it up, a dream came true Met two of my favorite guitarist along with a bad ass nice ass drummer, got Andy's Plectrum & pictures with Mike, Andy, & Matt. Last, Mike turns around & says this to me with that accent just ah flaring, I say respectfully, sounds cool actually, " This is MY LAST GUITAR PICK I HAVE ON ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY" & hands me that white Pick. The best Birthday I ever had & sadly the last one I had with my child hood friend that was with me & my sis that night!
Love how knowledgeable and open-minded you are about all kinds of music! Found you through the Enya Orinoco Flow video and then saw that you have videos on King Diamond as well - who I love also! Learned so much already and I‘ve only seen a couple of videos so far! Really excited that I stumbled upon your channel! :)
He must have the techniques right since he has been doing that for years and years. For the Christmas time, he has also "No Presents For Christmas". ;)
I’ve loved this song for years, after chancing upon it in an online search for Halloween tunes. The King’s voice and range is really something. He deserves a hallowed place in metal. An online choir from around the world is a great idea. Happy Halloween. 🎃💀🎤💀🎃
have seen the King with Mercyful Fate and the King Diamond band between 1997 and 2022 for nine times... his vocal performance was getting better the way he is getting older. Outstanding artist.
hope you understand that you´re a ray of sunshine, it´s always a good day when a reaction/analyses shows up on my wall. i have the original 80s vinyl bought new then of this : ) yep i am old
A facilidade com que o King Diamond canta é impressionante. Ao vivo, ele e o Halford são os melhores vocalistas do mundo de qualquer estilo, os que mais alcançam notas altas, fato.
I'm not even done watching this yet but I'm Liking it. You are hilarious and fun, and very open minded when dealing this material! Cheers! This is one of my favourite Hallowe'en songs. Thanks for treating it respectfully. 🙂
Love this song. Had to transcribe it years ago to audition a singer. Glad you had so much fun making this video! Would love to see a collaboration with The Charismatic Voice-but would the geekery be too much for RUclips to handle?
In the early 80s King used to sing some stuff in high chest voice. That's a range that I loved him singing in, since to my ears he sounded his most haunting and melancholic there. It didn't sound very easy for him though (take for example the intro to Come to the Sabbath), and it seems like he really separates his registers. Nowadays it seems he mostly has his head voice and his growl voice, he has probably given up on the tenor chest voice.
That is Livia Zita. She is Kings wife and the mother of his child. She's also a voice actress, though I'm not sure of what she's dine off the top of my head right now.
Please do Un peu plus haut un peu plus loin - Celine Dion and Ginette Reno. Best live and emotional performance i have ever seen, its a gem, you have to see that.
Beth.. I am ive Scottish heritage.. I just love your voice.. your accent.. I had my 23 and me done.. I am a guy with 60 precent Scottish heritage .. living in America.. I'd rather be back to my homeland...
Unholy crap, watching you react to what I consider metal royalty is surreal. I've been a huge fan of King's since the 80s. I got to see him in Oakland in 1991. When they played the Mercyful Fate songs I about lost my mind. I never screamed and sang more at a concert than I did at that one. My favorite thing about watching you react to this is when you said "This is so King" much respect.
Muito boa sua reação amiga ❤ Gostaria de pedir uma reação do cantor Gabriel Henrique com a música Vision Of Love versão acústica lançada no dia 20/10 ficou perfeito obrigado pelo apoio ❤️🇧🇷
King Diamond is extremely original though he does have a cool Alice Cooper vibe on the lower range you need to check out Nils k Rue from Pagans mind and Michael Ericksson from Circus Maximus
i love your videos! pls can you react to Chitãozinho & Xororó - Se Deus me ouvisse (Sinfônico 40 Anos) [Part. Especial Sandy & Junior] next? that's a live album by the Brazilian duo Chitãozinho & Xororó, The album is part of the celebration of the duo's 40th anniversary career, this song specifically is featured by sandy and junior (they are children of Xororó, a singer that you have reacted before)
Apparently King Diamond is one of the rare few who can use two vocal chords at the same time. I'm a music layman so I have no idea but I've seen this quoted passage associated with his apparent abilities: "There is a vocal technique used by Tibetan monks which allows them to literally sing a chord, or three notes simultaneously. This technique is not considered appropriate for most styles of western popular music, and therefore is somewhat of a mystery to many in the west. The technique when properly done has a pronounced droning which sounds similar to a digital audio effect. The technique may take years to master, but can be mimicked by producing a low sound from the back of the throat, and then shaping the tongue against the roof of the mouth as if sounding out the letter R. Adjust the shape of the mouth slightly until you hear harmonic overtones which are two octaves higher than the note being sung."
Hey! You are right, he is using his false vocal folds and his true vocal folds. However a lot of metal singers do this too. You are right about Tibetan throat singing! :)
For nearly 30 years I cant stand the voice Of KD. I tried it a hundred times. Then one day a few years ago I heard a KD song in a random playlist. And suddenly it clicked in my head. I listened to KD und Mercyful Fate all day and bought all the Rereleases of the albums the same day. Sometimes it took some times to get into a singer with a special voice/style. BTW. I have a friend who had the same phenomenom with Jon Oliva. ;-)

King is 68 years old and is still killing it! I seen King a few nights ago in Cincinnati and he sounds as good now as he did 40 years ago! Long live the King!
think he's even working on a new album
Yes, I saw them in Louisville; I think they played at least one new song from the upcoming album.
I've been going to see King Diamond since 1986. I will venture to say he sounds better now than he did then!
@@IgorEngelen1974 3 new albums! Not including a new Mercyful Fate album
It's his wife singing backing vocal Livia Zita
She looks like his daughter 😂
@@Dani-X01 Well, he's 68 and she's 39, so she could be. But they've been together for many years, have a kid together, so good for them.
When I heard his wife was singing on stage, I thought shed be covering for him because of vocal issues. It turns out she's just adding all the doubled vocals that KD uses so often on record. It really sounds amazing live.
@chitownstoneman yeap. Any long time fan can tell she isn't covering for him at all. Just adding the extra depth.
Heard his daughter is on this new tour as well
Both Mercyful Fate & his solo band are incredible. Two of the most under-appreciated bands in all of hard rock/metal.
Just saw KD live Monday - the power of his voice live is literally supernatural.
One of the most iconic vocalists of all time !!!
King Diamond is the best and is one of my all time favs .... he gets better and better! I have seen him and Merciful Fate 6 times and was never disappointed! He has had some amazing musicians with him and the backing vocals is icing on the cake. Great reaction vid too Beth. Thank you!

Sleepless nights and Halloween are pure masterpieces
Great band. Mike Wead (Mickael Vikström) and Andy LaRocque (Anders Allhage) on guitars, Pontus Egberg on bass and Matt Thompson on drums.
Thank you Beth.
Man King's voice is holding up better than everyone!
I saw this tour and it was one of the best concerts i've ever witnessed.
Love how knowledgeable and open-minded you are about all kinds of music! Found you through the Enya Orinoco Flow video and then saw that you have videos on King Diamond as well - who I love also! Learned so much already and I‘ve only seen a couple of videos so far! Really excited that I stumbled upon your channel! :)
Beth is such a joy to watch!
Fascinante ....enloquecedor que música extravagante 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 quedé alucinadooooooooooo ........ gracias Big escocesa hermosa 💙💜
The backing singer is King's wife called Lívia Zita from Hungary.
You have to do “Halloween” by Helloween from the live Pumpkins United tour. Not one, but two incredible lead singers!
She did that already.
Kai Hansen fronted/vocalled Helloween would be interesting (Victim of Fate, How Many Tears, Ride The Sky)
Fav albums by KD: Abigail, Them, Conspiracy, and The Eye. 🤘
I agree with your choices 100%
Abigail is an absolute masterpiece…that outro duel solos on Black Horsemen is lengendary
Yes!
Same. In that order as well. 😉
Saw him a week ago….he still sounds amazing. The King is forever!!!!
I love him! 😍🤘🏽
backup singer from the current tour is Myrkur, but I think the show here is with his wife
Proud Scot’s Irish from Texas here.. thanks for this King is awesome!!!!
He must have the techniques right since he has been doing that for years and years.
For the Christmas time, he has also "No Presents For Christmas". ;)
That song is a must!
drinking Sherry!
@@fasgamboa And not giving a damn !
That's his wife. Never actually heard her sing or her back vocals, but yeah she is there :D
Gotta hear King's albums from 2003 onward to hear Livia, who provides some female lead vocals as well as backing vox.
I wonder if she's only fed into King's monitor mix to help him find the notes. Not singing for him, just giving him reference for his note precision.
More KING please!
I’ve loved this song for years, after chancing upon it in an online search for Halloween tunes. The King’s voice and range is really something. He deserves a hallowed place in metal. An online choir from around the world is a great idea. Happy Halloween.
🎃💀🎤💀🎃
have seen the King with Mercyful Fate and the King Diamond band between 1997 and 2022 for nine times... his vocal performance was getting better the way he is getting older.
Outstanding artist.
I ❤KING reactions
The best King Diamond era was when he produced albums with Mercyful fate. These are the best line up of musicians.
The bassplayer is also a member of the band Wolf. Check out the song Hail ceasar.
hope you understand that you´re a ray of sunshine, it´s always a good day when a reaction/analyses shows up on my wall. i have the original 80s vinyl bought new then of this : ) yep i am old
The man sings peak at close to 70. Nobody can match that high.
A facilidade com que o King Diamond canta é impressionante. Ao vivo, ele e o Halford são os melhores vocalistas do mundo de qualquer estilo, os que mais alcançam notas altas, fato.
He sounds better now (since the heart surgery and giving up smoking) than he has in 20 years, it's incredible.
I'm not even done watching this yet but I'm Liking it. You are hilarious and fun, and very open minded when dealing this material! Cheers! This is one of my favourite Hallowe'en songs.
Thanks for treating it respectfully. 🙂
Glad you enjoy it!
🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾King Diamond🤘🏾🤘🏽🤘🏼🤘🏻...forever goosebumps!
King Diamond is the best!!!
The backing singer is Livia Zita who is a voice over talent and also King Diamond's wife.
Yes!
Yeah! 🥳
Thank you for saying "it is not cheating". I agree with your statement 100%!
Me encantó ❤
I'm not pretty sure if you did King diamond "sleepless night"reaction yet from this same performance but if not you should be next.
She did and she must've been one of the first, that video is five years old!
King Diamond. Yes. It's always good to your soul, Halloween or not.
Back in ‘86 this was our Halloween anthem 🤘🏼
King is the king of falsetto, for sure!
King diamond rules I just seen him in Cleveland
Andy Laroque: The Secret God
So underrated
Love this song. Had to transcribe it years ago to audition a singer. Glad you had so much fun making this video! Would love to see a collaboration with The Charismatic Voice-but would the geekery be too much for RUclips to handle?
I was at that show. So good!!!!
check out "welcome to the the sabbath" a realy powerful number from the kings "mercyful fate" days
In the early 80s King used to sing some stuff in high chest voice. That's a range that I loved him singing in, since to my ears he sounded his most haunting and melancholic there. It didn't sound very easy for him though (take for example the intro to Come to the Sabbath), and it seems like he really separates his registers. Nowadays it seems he mostly has his head voice and his growl voice, he has probably given up on the tenor chest voice.
That is Livia Zita. She is Kings wife and the mother of his child. She's also a voice actress, though I'm not sure of what she's dine off the top of my head right now.
❤❤
You look like your enjoying this song more than I do. 😮
try "sleepless nights" studio version by King Diamond
I think the first video I ever watched on Beth's channel a few years ago was "Sleepless Nights". This might be from the same concert.
I wanna see you do All Hallows Eve from Type O Negative!
@@Dave-hb7lx She did wolf moon, but it wad a live version.
you did good enough
EVERYNIGHT TO MEEEEE IS HAAAAALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!
you should react to the new merciful fate from this year is voice is still incredible, it's so unbelievable for a 68 year old man
Please do Un peu plus haut un peu plus loin - Celine Dion and Ginette Reno. Best live and emotional performance i have ever seen, its a gem, you have to see that.
Hail to the King!
Your seagull noises attracted that raven...
Hi Beth - don't forget Corvyx!
Hope you do 'No Presents for Christmas' at... uh, Christmas.
Best thing about The King is writes 95% of the music. He just doesn't play guitar on stage
Sleepless Nights 🤘
Beth.. I am ive Scottish heritage.. I just love your voice.. your accent.. I had my 23 and me done.. I am a guy with 60 precent Scottish heritage .. living in America.. I'd rather be back to my homeland...
King Diamond is the master of horror! 🤘😈💀👻
Female (backing) vocalist = Livia Zita, King's wife.
King Diamond is the cheesiest person that ever lived. Rumor has it he’s writing an opera with Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead.
You should really give Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - If We Were Vampires, or Jason Isbell - Elephant a chance, a lyrical genius
Unholy crap, watching you react to what I consider metal royalty is surreal. I've been a huge fan of King's since the 80s. I got to see him in Oakland in 1991.

PLEAAASE REACT TO CANDLEMASS - WHEN THE RUNES STILL SPEAKS the high notes............
🤘😎
Intereseting voice, something between Michael Kiske from Helloween and Axle Rose.
Muito boa sua reação amiga ❤
Gostaria de pedir uma reação do cantor Gabriel Henrique com a música Vision Of Love versão acústica lançada no dia 20/10 ficou perfeito obrigado pelo apoio ❤️🇧🇷
Молодец, красавица ! Хороший анализ. Даймонд жив. Проанализируй новый трек 2024 года.
I'll take this over growling every single time.
King Diamond is extremely original though he does have a cool Alice Cooper vibe on the lower range you need to check out Nils k Rue from Pagans mind and Michael Ericksson from Circus Maximus
You should check damiano david latest solo singles. They are fantastic
EVER TASTED HUMAN FLESH
You should listen to the studio version first before the live
😍🥰😍
i love your videos! pls can you react to Chitãozinho & Xororó - Se Deus me ouvisse (Sinfônico 40 Anos) [Part. Especial Sandy & Junior] next?
that's a live album by the Brazilian duo Chitãozinho & Xororó, The album is part of the celebration of the duo's 40th anniversary career, this song specifically is featured by sandy and junior (they are children of Xororó, a singer that you have reacted before)
There's a reason he's called King.
Hey beth i think you should check out michael jackson’s 1988 grammy performance i think you’d enjoy it.
Hi Beth ... He's From Denmark , just like Lars Ulrich From Metallica ...
That is his WIFE. They have a young son named Byron. They live in Texas in a REALLY nice house.
HAIL KING!!!!
Apparently King Diamond is one of the rare few who can use two vocal chords at the same time. I'm a music layman so I have no idea but I've seen this quoted passage associated with his apparent abilities: "There is a vocal technique used by Tibetan monks which allows them to literally sing a chord, or three notes simultaneously.

Hey! You are right, he is using his false vocal folds and his true vocal folds. However a lot of metal singers do this too. You are right about Tibetan throat singing! :)
React some song from DIANA KRALL please....love your reacts!
king Diamond is on tour you need to check it out
Back up vocals is his wife
Hmm..ok...seems appropriate for Halloween...it does scream.
please react Richie Kotzen- Remember Live 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love KD but most of my friends don't. It's hilarious when you crank it up and watch fellow metal-heads cringe to something this awesome.
For nearly 30 years I cant stand the voice Of KD. I tried it a hundred times. Then one day a few years ago I heard a KD song in a random playlist. And suddenly it clicked in my head. I listened to KD und Mercyful Fate all day and bought all the Rereleases of the albums the same day.
Sometimes it took some times to get into a singer with a special voice/style.
BTW. I have a friend who had the same phenomenom with Jon Oliva. ;-)
