I love all the bands Mikkey has played in, but I gotta say, his best drumwork will always be what he did in King Diamond -He was a key part of why those early albums became so iconic, and his style fitted perfectly :)
I think alot of people dont realize that he also wrote music with the guys, it wasnt just playing the drums. So im sure also part of what made those early King albums so great was probably some of his ideas as well
Couldnt believe it when I ran into Mikkey Dee in Dallas at the Basement in the early 90s. I spoke with him for a minute and was shocked he had nothing good to say about my beloved KD.
He was really pissed about the whole situation back in those days, he hated that it was the King Diamond band but it seemed to be that it was always King himself being shown everywhere and talked about and not the band itself and he felt that King himself was even marketing it like that too. I know that they've patched things up in recent years and Mikkey even played Halloween with them a few years ago when the band played their first live show in a very long time
He’s alright. Almost got into a fight with him when Motörhead use to hang out in Anaheim in the 90’s. I Love me some KD.....but I could see how he would want to play rock n roll instead.
Oh man Mickey needs to return with king diamond. I'm sure whatever differences they had back then are squashed now. He said it himself, they were young. King has a lot more broader perspective now. Hope to see him back in that lineup one day with Andy Larocque and King Diamond.
@@kennyhamilton It also depends on what he wants. Not about the pay. The level on the King Diamond Albums on which Mikkey participated on were top notch, as prog as heavy metal can get.
En go gubbe från Långströmsgatan i Göteborg. grym trummis, sett honom spela sedan Nadir-tiden i början av 80 talet. Grym trummis. - Means " A nice bloke från Gothenburg, seen him play i local bands like Nadir since the beginning of the eighties 1980-1983), brilliant drummer" (I still see him from time to time, he lives just south of Gothenburg, the guy doesn't age) :)
What it really was is King Diamond wanted it the way he wanted it not the way he wanted it Mikey dee is a damn good drummer don't get me wrong it's just he wanted everything his way not the King Diamond way for all who are out there don't know King Diamond is very hard to work with he wants it a certain way and he's going to have it a certain way and if you don't comply you're out that's just the way King is he wants his music perfect and that's just exactly what King Diamond is is perfect is optic range on his voice it just totally awesome he's even better now than it was back then since he's had surgery and quit smoking is like King diamond Reborn
King Diamond is absolutely my favorite band ever, when I was 15 I dressed up as King with the face paint and the cape and entered a Halloween costume contest and won 1st prize for best in show. It was so fun. Rock on 🤘King
The dude in the back is such a tool he keeps playing with his beard and flipping his hair constantly look at me look at me everybody...lol How annoying...
Mikkey on the first 4 King Records will never be touched. Amazing style with unique time signature
100% agreed !!!
Greatest rock drummer right there. Mikkey Dee is amazing!
Good for Mikkey. He's on a great run! King Diamond, Motorhead and now the Scorpions.
Make no mistake about it..Mikkey Dee is one of the most talented people in all of metal. This interview was really great.
I love his drumming on the Abigail album
Mikkey Dee is such a class act. A real gent.
That guy in the back wants an interview , and he loves his hair
As great a guy as he is a drummer! Love it!
Amon belongs to them was in my head while watching this. One hell of a drummer.

Michael Holmgaard The quality of the drums on the first four KD-albums are outstanding.

I spoke to him in NYC, he said he's over the rivalry and is good friends with KD. Super guy btw
Mikkey is such a great drummer and a better dude, long live Dio, long live Lemmy, we all miss you

Alvaro Vega Bring Pete Blakk back too, sadly Hal is likely gone for good

Jesus man, ever heard of punctuation?
He was in King Diamond say no more
I like Mikkey because of who he is, but also for the fact he looks a bit like Mick Ronson.
The guy with the long hair is ira black a great guitarist
he kinda looks like the guy from that minions cartoon.
You
guy in the back anoys me AF...gerrem outa here bro
He'll never be as good as Philthy.
No, not as good, he is better.
Mikkey was made for Motorhead. Philthy was great for the time but Mikkey blows him out of the water
bull___
The dude in the back is such a tool he keeps playing with his beard and flipping his hair constantly look at me look at me everybody...lol
How annoying...
Who is that gentleman with long hair and beard?
2nd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LEMMY WAS ONE OF THE WORST SINGERS EVER! THAT GUY COULDN'T HOLD A TUNE!! DIO IS A METAL GOD,
And that is why you are not allowed to speak about music. You clearly missed what rock is all about.
MIKKEY'S A GREAT GUY!
OH YHEA AND A FANTASTIC RELIABLE DRUMMER.SUPER LOYAL AND NO PROBLEMS DRUMMER..NO BAGGAGE ,EGO TRIPS .
