    ABOUT…
    I am Rebecca and I am one heck of a passionate vocal coach/singer/songwriter/impressionist/health/fitness/self- improvement/anything that makes me smile!! I love anything vocal/singing related and geek out on it every day. I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2017 and my ovaries and fallopian tubes. The tumour was the size of a 20 week baby!! However, despite not being able to walk for a couple of weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…?
    Also thank you for all your support. It means a lot.

      He's not that far off of range even now. At least in this song, he could hit the notes, just lack a tiny bit of sustain. Of all the people I figured would lose it getting older, King Diamond was on top of that list. But he's proven me wrong. Same as Halford, Dickenson, and Geoff Tate. They all still sound great.

    King Diamond is one of those bands you show to people to see what their reaction is. I remember my first time, I laughed at how he sang. But that's typical for someone who doesn't really understand what they're being shown. (I was like 16 and just getting into Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, not really ready for this.)
    Anyway, it didn't take me long to understand why this is amazing. Andy Larocque is a fucking god. Also Mercyful Fate is badass too. \m/

    One of my absolute favourites. A few things to keep in mind here. He was 58 years old for this concert and has been doing this since the late 70s. In 2010 he had a triple-bypass, essentially from smoking too much to the point that his arteries got blocked up. And he still has that voice.
    Oh and finally, his microphone handle is made of human bones, a femur and a tibia. :)

    Kind Diamond is a legend, and for good reason. His vocals are one of a kind. You generally either like them or not. I've been a fan since I first heard him in Mercyful Fate way back in the early 80's. A few quick fun facts about the King:
    He is 62 years old. Yes...... 62 and still sounding incredible (his birthday is June 14. Happy early birthday King!) He had triple bypass surgery 8-9 years ago. He obviously recovered well is and going strong. The female backup singer on the side of the set is actually his wife.

    My band had the extreme pleasure to be the supporting act for King Diamond, a few years ago. King and the rest of the band were so gracious and welcoming, to us, a local band. That when the club security guard ask us to leave the backstage area, King Diamond and Andy la Rocque, Kings lead guitarist and song calibrator, told them, that we were all welcomed to remain backstage to enjoy the show. The entire band plus their road crew were so cool to us, taking pictures, inviting us on the tour bus, giving us t-shirts, autographs, drink, food. The reason, so we were told, that King had invited us to stay backstage was because, the rest of the band had seen our entire show and were extremely impressed with our music, that they passed this on to King. He in turned, thank us for warming up the crowd and asked to be his quest backstage to enjoy the show and tour bus after the show.

      According to metal legend, King Diamond was self-taught - he was originally a guitarist in his earliest days, but when an opening came up for vocalist he just filled in and figured it out as he went. In his interviews and so on he comes across as a really nice, quiet, soft-spoken, and polite character. His early stuff from before Mercyful Fate (Black Rose, The Brats, Danger Zone, etc.) is worth tracking down, at least for fans and completists - he didn't have anything like this sort of range back before Mercyful Fate, but his voice is still easily recognizable, and there's also the novelty of hearing punk/shock rock versions of some of those early Mercyful Fate songs before they adopted the whole gothic/heavy metal thing....

    Dear Rebecca, I came to your channel randomly while looking for King Diamond content on youTube and I enjoyed your reaction video very much! I am a fan of King Diamond since 1993. A friend of mine made me listen to a tape of King ("The Eye"), when I was 13 years old and I have been a huge fan ever since! It was interesting for me to see what a professional, educated musician like you, who is not linked to metal thinks of King Diamond. I was happy to see that you liked and appreciated his singing performance and also the musicianship. I am saying this because this brings me back to my school days. In 9th grade our music teacher asked us to bring a tape with our favourite song to school. Obviously in the mid 90s Eurodance and boy bands were quite popular, so a lot of my class mates brought songs of such bands. I brought in a King Diamond song (it was Eye of the Witch) and you know what my teacher said? He said that this is just noise with a lot of screaming and he does not consider this to be music. He even asked if my parents know what I am listening to!!! It is one thing to say that you do not like such kind of music, but it is another thing to talk down the musicianship. Anyway, keep on going and best of luck for your channel! You are doing a great job! Regards from Germany!

    Another King Diamond song I could recommend is "A Mansion In Darkness" off of his album "Abigail". In that song you get to see a great deal of his range as well. Plus the song is just epic anyways, as is his whole album that the song comes off of. That album tells a fantastic story, I wish someone in Hollywood would get with him and make a movie from it.

    "Thirteen days have come & gone since the 1st day of June".
    I've always knew I had a connection with this dude. I heard it through his music, & we both took our first breath in life on a day of our beginning. HELL to the king ...

    King Diamond is an amazing vocalist. An acquired taste for many, for sure. Try his Mercyful Fate era stuff...
