Should I react to more King Diamond? What songs?
Excellent reaction 👌 react to the whole "Abigail" album, plus anything from Mercyful Fate, the band King was in before the self titles "King Diamond" band. Your really on a roll Jimmy. You got the NIGHTWISH Army here(proud member) and now King... Stupendous ☺️🤘
Awesome reaction! I’d suggest “Welcome Home” or “Abigail” as the next song. King Diamond is just awesome!
Yess you definitely should!!
Check out "Halloween", "The Arrival", "The Invisible Guest", or anything you can get a hold of, can't go wrong!
Killer from spiders lullaby is a great one to check out
The guitar solo in this song is incredible, Andy LaRocque is unbelievable!
Very underrated
So underated!☠️
The King is a LEGEND. He never adjusted his style, or heaviness, or melody. He's the S**t!!
He has. Due to his heart bypass his singing made his metal insertions vibrate. So he changed how he sang so that would not cause him pain while performing.
"King Diamond (real name: Kim Bendix Petersen) has a 4 octave vocal range, and The Range Place has mentioned his range from F1 to Eb6." I've been listening to him for over 30 years
Dang
yeah i been into king diamond since around '84 Melissa was my first owned merciful fate album...anybody remember 'Metallic Overdrive' rochester radio program back then that played progressive metal
i thought he had a SIX octave range voice...has it changed?
Nah fam, he's 2.5 octaves tops. Head voice/falsetto doesn't count. Still great tho, I'm a fan myself
5 octaves*
He has his masters degree in vocals. He went to a world renowned academy in Copenhagen. Love him or hate him..hes literally one of the best vocalists in the world.
Often you see metal bands rushing through songs or playing at a different tempo than the studio track... King is always bang on, delivering exactly what the audience is expecting to hear. The guy is a technician.
Glad you enjoyed King Diamond. Been listening to him for almost 40 years, and I am still amazed.
He’s incredible... his entire persona and rich deep use of visuals and story telling put him on another level.. then... there’s his voice 😲
Me to . I saw him once in concert in germany.
Thanks for recognizing the band. These are real musicians. They know how to play and they can shred. Andy LaRocque (the guy on the right side when watching ) has been with King Diamond for many years. A super-talented metal guitarist.
I'm a huge King Diamond fan. With his octave range, don't know if he can still do it, but he used to be able to hit all 88 notes on a piano with his voice. Met him in The House of Blues in Chicago years ago. A really swell laid back guy. I was in college and dipped out of my favorite class to get to his show. A true legend in the music industry.
Nice😎
I don't know for sure, but I've been listening since the early 80's, and I don't think his range ever went up to C8. Which is the highest note on a piano. His confirmed range is A1-Eb6. Now he may have lost a little off the top end, but not almost 2 octaves.
Saw him at Bloodstock this year with Mercyful Fate and at 66 years old, King can still hit thouse High notes like they are nothing! Absolutely incredible 🤘🏻
@@jadeviper1804 Hail Brother, good to know. Stay heavy.
the bones are real human bones.
That’s sick!!! Love it!!
🙀😰💀
King is really diamond
High Ace, long time no hear.
Glad to see your still alive.
I'm just a fan, and fellow guitarist.
Stay cool.
It is the other one
King Diamond is the best band of all time. No doubt.
definitely up there for sure
King Diamond/Mercyfull Fate are legends in the european metal. Big influence for so many bands, like Metallica or Megadeth! Next One - Mercyfull Fate -Unvited guest!!!!!!!
Had no idea they existed let alone influenced so many legends.. but now I can see why.. King is a force to be reckoned with 😮
@@jimmysworld2512 Metallica did a medley of Mercyful Fate covers on their Garage Inc. album. Mercyful Fate is King Diamond's band before he started his solo band.
Chris Storms yes!
I’m my opinion don’t -break the oath - album is a must have
I almost stopped watching at "I don't know who GWAR is"
Thanks for joining. Just started listening to metal 8 months ago. Did you get into GWAR after 8 months....?
LoL....better late than never. Hard to believe since I've been listening to Mercyful Fate since the 80's.
@@jimmysworld2512 GWAR is a fun band believe it or not. Lots of humor and very visual!! Started out a a music art project and just went from there. Its ok to read the history on the band as GWAR has its own back story. They put slipnot to shame! You have to watch a live show from the 90s to early 2000s.
Gear is a rock band that was out for mone then 30 year and check them out their very good
GWAR IS A ROCK BAND FROM THE 80'S AND STILL GOODING GOOD AND THAT AND GOING GOID
Saw my first King Diamond concert in ‘87. He’s also older than you stated, I think he is 63 now and just had a baby.
Those are real human bones, he use to have a skull he would sing to but it got stolen.
Wow...wow...and also wow 😲
King is just a living legend \m/
"He can do that too?!"
He is King Diamond. He does what he wants, because he can!
As for suggestions Merciful Fate "The Uninvited Guest" or if you want to stick with just the King's solo albums "A Mansion In Darkness" is a MUST.
Thanks chaos 😎🤘 and yep... The King does as the King pleases
@@jimmysworld2512 You do realize "Merciful Fate" is him as well. Back in the 80's, just as good, probably better.
You know, all the praises of King Diamond (both vocalist and band) are well deserved. King has been in metal scene since 80s and fronted two bands; Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. He went through triple-bypass surgery in 2010, came back and sounds amazing live. The coolest thing about KD is, all but two of their albums are from start to finish full horror stories (some of them even continue on another album) and the best thing you can do is a full album reaction. I’d recommend starting with Abigail.
Oh and by the way, those bones are real. His younger brother’s schoolmate’s dad was a surgeon and he got them that way. He had also a skull named Melissa (named after a song and album by Mercyful Fate), but that was stolen.
Black Rose, lest we forget before Mercyful Fate 😎🍻🍻🍻
ruclips.net/video/6XS3PQ-mWRE/видео.html
Didn't forget Black Rose. But (to me) it's more rock / hard rock than metal 😀 Even before Black Rose King played in Brainstorm.
I didn't/don't know about brainstorm
@@ANationalAcrobat : It was Brats, not Brainstorm
You really can't go wrong with anything from The King. LEGENDARY!!! Thank you for giving him a chance, lots of people wouldn't give him the time of day. Great reaction to your first exposure to the greatness and brilliance that is King Diamond. Honestly the first time I heard him, it was the album titled "Them".....and I had pretty much the same reaction you did.
It's very difficult to pick just one or two songs to react to....due to the fact that almost every single album he has recorded under the King Diamond banner has been a concept album. The entire album tells a story from start to finish...so listening to a single song would be like reading a single chapter in a novel. Some exceptions to that rule would be "Halloween", "Shrine", "The Lake", and "No Presents For Christmas". Not saying you need to react to those, but you can if you want. If you want some of his best songs from the King Diamond banner, the go to would be pretty much anything of the "Abigail" album....especially "The Family Ghost", "Abigail", or "Black Horsemen"
Another option would be to check out his earlier band Mercyful Fate. No concept albums, just great individual songs put together on an album. Some of King Diamonds best songwriting comes from this band in my opinion. "The Oath", "Come To The Sabbath", "Evil", "Curse Of The Pharaoh", and "Melissa" come to mind immediately .
Welcome to The Coven Jimmy.....there's no escaping now. Only place to go from here is down....down....down....down....deeper into The Coven.
Enjoy the ride. Cheers.
Check out the whole conspiracy album . Guitarist Andy Laroque is legit
One of the best storytellers
He really is 🤘
Him n Dio
One of the best King Diamond songs of all time. Hail to the one and only King. His voice is incredible. Enjoy every single scream \m/ \m/
I love the fact that you are just coming across King Diamond now, I'm as pumped as you are because I know the journey you are about to take! Enjoy it takes some 'acclimation' but once you get it you realize how amazing it all is.
Nothing like discovering a Diamond. Always a special feeling hearing something this great. He specializes in concept albums so that’s a whole other level of creative genius there. The Eye is a stone of cold classic. That’s another great place to get familiar with on your Diamond diving...
Thanks bio🤘
His albums are like books
The best history from his albums: "Them"
Brilliant reaction well deserved by King himself and the gang!
Thanks Vladimir... the man is INSANELY talented and I can only imagine hearing him live in his heyday
Yes, the master of high notes!!!!
Just insane!!!
King is a legend. Puts on a live show like no one else.
King Diamond.....the 1980 ...for me...still have it......still one of the best singers in the world....🇸🇪
King diamond is a opera singer he can sing every octave he's magical I met him I told him I love them to his face and he smiled he is one of a kind
Legend is exactly right.
1. The Family Ghost
2. The Black Horsemen
3. Magic
4. Behind These Walls
5. Never Ending Hill (Grammy Nominee)
He also has a band called mercyful fate,,so many great songs by both bands,,iam 54 been listening to kd since i was 20 , enjoy your rabbit hole with kd and play it loud
Yo Jimmy! By now I hope you have done your homework and listened to the full King Diamond and Mercyful Fate catalogue! You are right... He is on another level. I have been a fan over 30 years now. I got to finally meet him last year! I loved seeing you get excited man. It was how it was for me way back when I was just 13 man! Cheers!🤘
Cheers Jon... yeah he’s amazing and I’m really looking forward to Mercyful Fate
Almost two years later, I wonder where Jimmy is on his tour of King Diamond/Mercyful Fate? I had the luxury of being exposed gradually over the years since 87. I can't imagine trying to binge King from ground zero
King Diamond rules. His legacy is amazing and all of his bands, whether that being Black Rose, Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. This song just SCREAMS Metal.
King’s vocal range and amazing lyrics
Andy’s guitar shredding
The drums, and bass are solid and hard hitting. Long live the King and long live the band King Diamond
That backup singer is his wife, btw. Total badasses.
King Diamond is 64 years old.
Watch king and metallica do Mercyful Fate song live on youtube.
Thanks mysixstring🙏
King is 59 years old on this show. Jimmy is right!
Just saw them in November. First those that dont know, they are back in studio working a double album. Check out Masquerade of Madness
I seen him in Louisville last November also !
Very typical reaction to King Diamond first time, yeah, Holy Shit, and WOW are common words He is the King. Simple,.....Abagail, second 1/2 of this concert .and Merciful Fate, Been here since the 80s. Fuck Yeah
Happy listening
❤️King Diamond 💎
Always delightful to see someone new discover The King!
Only had the pleasure of seeing King D. one time live about 16 yrs. ago. I remember like it was yesterday. They put on an amazing show. Thanks for the video.
Play Welcome Home. Only King Diamond can pull off those lyrics. You will not be disapointed. It's the opening song in that same show at the Filmore.
King Diamond is not 59, he's 65. He was 59 when that video was made.
King is awesome. Has been around since the early 80s. First band was Mercyful Fate. Check out Snowy Shaw “Krampus”. Snowy used to be Kings drummer.
2 words.........Mercyful Fate! 🤘🤘
Oh yes ... He can most certainly do that too! Isn't he perfect?! Welcome aboard the Unicorn (15 men and a bottle of rum reference)....... and ....Hail the King..... forever!
Decades of love for this and finally.... FINALLY..... I will see him on Saturday at the Damn Masonic Lodge in Detroit
.... After that. I am complete 😉😁🤘🏻
King DIamond - the most impressive falsetto vocals in metal!! Also check out his original band Merciful Fate!!!
Seriously... Its insane what the human body is capable of
King Diamond: A Mansion in the Darkness. Live at The Fillmore. (4;40)
Caught them at at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago and it was the best Show I've ever seen! You are 100% correct when you say King is a Legend! The Musicianship is top notch! Love them!
Yea king is king of horror rock!! All his albums are horror stories and his different voices represent different characters. Great stuff one of my biggest influences over the years. Yea do this whole show at filmore it was great
Thanks k-pop😎🤘🎸
Supposedly his microphone is held by the bones of his dead sister Melissa. But that might be a story from his old Merciful fate days. \,,/
Sleepless Nights - Live at The Fillmore is always a great first watch for people who've never heard/seen King Diamond & band
Between mercyful fate and king diamond there are 20 studio albums. So much to choose from you base you're entire show for the next couple years on the king. Can't wait to see more
Hi! New here. I’ve been listening to King Diamond since the 80’s. I’ve seen him live about five times. Just watching you watch that video gave me goosebumps. I see I’m a little late to the game here but funny story....I was cleaning my bathroom today and I said to myself I wonder if any contestant for a voice show has attempted to sing King Diamond. Voila here I am.
Congrats for finding the king. Work your way through his catalogue. It's amazing
yooooooooo new favorite channel 🕺🏻😂🤝🔥🔥 welcome to the kingdom
Thanks quinton😎🤘
King Diamond is awesome, I've been a fan for decades. My personal favorite album of his is Them, probably because it's the first one I heard. Saw him live during the Conspiracy tour, phenomenal show. I recommend listening to the entire album Them, and pay attention to the lyrics since it's a concept album and tells a story.
It’s really quite amazing... can’t wait to get to more
Brought a tear to my eye seeing your first king diamond listening, remind me of my first time in 1987!
COME TO THE SABBATH !
Cool you found out about King Diamond. He and his former Band Mercyful Fate are (still) an institution in Metal music! Mercyful Fate was founded in the early 80s and influenced a hell of bands in the genre, especially Metallica are still big fans of their music back then. And, yes the microphonholder is made out of real human bones. In the early days King Diamond - when still was perfoming with Mercyful Fate in the 80s - brought a real human skull with him on stage. But sadly the skull was stolen by a fan after a gig and was never found again. He called the skull "Melissa". Melissa is also the title of a Mercyful Fates´ 1st record from 1983. This is one of the most influencial records in Heavy Metal, too, besides their 2nd album "Don´t break the oath". Both albums are really worth to listen to - believe me. When I heared Mercyful Fate the first time I was blown away by his voice and the mytic in the music just like you. Eversince I am a big fan of MF and KD. By the way, when King Diamond got solo, he got some awesome musicians surrounding him. The most famous one is Mikkey Dee. Mikkey wrote one of the inconic drum-fills of all time and became an unreachable challenge to a heck of Metal drummers to copy. LOL. It´s the intro to "Welcome home" from the popular album "Them". After "Them" he left to become the drummer of Motörhead and later on for the Scorpions. Enjoy Heavy Metal, enjoy live and keep on rocking on with your great vdeos. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks Fritz! Can’t wait to check out welcome home and now motorhead is on my list of bands to check out😎🙏🤘🎸
Welcome to The King’s World!
his old mercyful fate shit rocks too...welcome to the spooky world of the King!!
Thanks Charlie... I heard (through comments of fans) that every album is an entire horror story and some continue to subsequent albums... BRILLIANT!
@@jimmysworld2512 yep...always read the lyrics and in order with the right album...Abigail and Them are my personal best....King is a good story writer and his voice is ghostly and eerie :) \m/
Been a fan of the King since '85!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
King Diamond is a frikken legend, and oh my am I glad you discovered him. The history of King Diamond and his band (Mercyful Fate and then King Diamond) is going way back to the late '70s and early '80s, and his bands are influential to some heavy metal bands back then. King himself is an awesome storyteller, his albums (mostly with King Diamond band) are concept, story albums where all the songs in them are creating one big story, and all of them are horror-related. Please continue reacting to this band (and Mercyful Fate too), maybe the song "Welcome Home" or an entire album of "Abigail"? That would be soo cool. Thanks for this reaction. Cheers!! 😊
1st time watching you. I came here for your reaction to King. You have good taste, Sir.
I learned about mercyful fate from tape trading, back in 1985. When I heard king diamond, mercyful fate, I became an instant fan, and never looked back.
Man... wish I had tape trading back then... not even 💯 what it is but it sounds awesome... i had 2 tapes in my collection... guns n roses lies and metallica ride the lightning... now I’ve got the entire world at the press of a button
@@jimmysworld2512 I was in the 12th grade when this was going on. All heavy metal back then was total underground, no radio play whatsoever. So bands like mercyful fate, king diamond, slayer, I could go on, with bands, to have survived to this day says a lot., My name is James by the, nice chatting.
Yeah James... had no clue real metal was an underground scene back in the 80’s... i was only in elementary/ middle school so it was probably beyond my ability to really get into it
Check out Abigail. Personally my favorite King Diamond album and song. I kind of had the same reaction when I first heard Abigail back in the 80s. I had never heard anyone sing like that in my life. And you're right, he is a legend.
amazing video , got my subscription
Thanks Kiam🙏🤘😎🎸
He used to sing to a real human skull named Lucy.
I thought the name of the real human skull was Melissa.
king diamond is an amazing singer and performer. if u like this, try a song from his older band, mercyful fate, the song the oath, from the album don't break the oath. the beginnings of progressive metal...
He is a legend👌🏻🇩🇰
Yes! Grade A talent
All hail the king!!!.big fan of the diamond meister, hey Jimmy can you react to Alien weaponry, 3 teenage thrash metallers from my home country New Zealand, they sing in my native language (Maori) & its hardcore as bro,they dont wear masks but in there video 'kai tangata' you'll see an ancient battle post colonization which you might enjoy..all true story too..just found your channel & keep up the good work🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Nick! Sounds pretty cool...got tons of requests so I’ll see...
Nick ngaronoa Hail the king!!
It took me many years to finally love King Diamond's vocals. The first time I ever listened to King Diamond was the video for Welcome Home back in 1988 on MTV'S Headbanger's Ball. I was barely 10 years old back then. I loved the music, but I could not stand the singing back then at all. It was a few years ago that I finally started to love his singing big time. I love both of his bands King Diamond and especially Mercyful Fate alot. It is insanely amazing how incredible King Diamond's vocals still are all these years later. Most lead singers that have been around many years are past their peak,but King Diamond is still at his peak. You definitely have to check out some Mercyful Fate. In my opinion they have better guitar riffs than his King Diamond band even though his guitar players in his solo band are way more technical players. I would recommend songs like Into The Coven,Curse Of The Pharaohs, Evil, A Dangerous Meeting, Gypsy, The Bell Witch, and Is That You Melissa from Mercyful Fate.
Thanks John🤘😎
So you didn’t know the King?! Never is too late Jimmy! Cheers 🍻
Agreed!! Loving this glorious trip through the worm hole of metal and rock
Listen to the Bell is my all-time favorite King Diamond song. You got to check out Merciful Fate
The man that got me into metal. Long live the king.
great video
I remember buying this CD on Christmas Eve 1986 while visiting my mom. She didn't allow drinking in the house so I took my 6 pack and some bud and went and hung out in the cemetery across the street. For most of the night I listened to Conspiracy on my walkman as the fog rolled in amongst the graves!!!
Was it 89? Conspiracy didn't come out til 1989
Mercyful fate is the kings first band
have u forgotten he fronted BLACK ROSE also?
i love the Eye album!!
Listen too him in the early days of Merciful Fate and his one album Abigail if you want to hear some awesome vocals. Been listening too him for years and it never gets old.
Excellent reaction! You have to check out A Mansion in Darkness by King Diamond off the Abigail album. The vocals are absolutely epic!!!
Welcome to The King Young Jimmy!
Great reaction
King Diamond " Omens " Live recomended
Thanks Cristian😎
Cradle of Filth from the UK🇬🇧 ❤️them, seen them live, amazing
Yess!! Their makeup and costumes look SICK!! Can’t wait !!
That's why he is the King!!! Love to see how you react. lol
I think I could write 1000 words on The King, but it suffices just to say he's fkn awesome.
It is real human bones 🤘🤘🤘
Nice to know there's a new big King fan out there, I'm a fan since 83, check Mercyful Fate songs as well
King Diamond"Dreams"🤘🏻 recomended
I'm sure it's in the comments somewhere, but the bones are real...and human...
Nash the Slash is a one man band from Canada and worth checking out. He wears white bandages like a mummy.
It's about time people to realize Ghost wouldn't exist or sound how they sound, especially in the first albums or Without King Diamond (the man has been around almost 40 years) as a major influence. Musically speaking and then all the rest secondarily (won't go to the makeup thing here, it's all just endless to explain if you're just at the surface and not in the depth of things ) but a huge huge role!
It's real bone, I've seen it in person.
Update: later in the video, you can get a couple glimpses of King's wife singing backup vocals/harmonies just behind guitarist Andy Laroque-Stage Left.
nice choice its my favorite band since i was 13 years old :) Actually my first koncert in my life. in Copenhagen (KB hallen.) the Them Tour. many many years ago.
No one has mentioned that King is also an accomplished guitar player who writes 90% of his bands music. Andy LaRoque helps out with the other 10% King's guitar is a BC Rich Warlock with blood splatter & the word THEM on it
Is there anything that man can’t do?
@@jimmysworld2512 No. There's not
Been a fan since 84. You need to listen to Abigail, and Them. Also his first band Merciful Fate.
Thanks crackedbrain!
King Diamond is the singer for Mercyful Fate. Check them out especially "Don't break the oath" album.
Thanks crimson... witches dance is coming up Tuesday... the King is just incredible 😎🎸🙃
@@jimmysworld2512 Yes, he's been around for a long time and is well respected. He's quite the showman.
