I was there in Eindhoven. Yeah, the crowd went totally insane. The music hypnotized and energized. One big (burning) hell of a party. King was also at full force, just like Michael Denner, Timmy Hanssen, Andy La Rocque and Mikkey Dee. Good old times...
I was always kind of confused on why they changed the name of the band to "King Diamond". Their musical style didn't change and the only difference in the lineup was Sherman was replaced with LaRoque and Ruzz was replaced with Mickey Dee. There are bands out there who underwent far more extensive lineup changes who kept the name of the band.
@@spaceace4387 also the first king diamond album was going to be the follow up to don't break the oath I don't know who owns the name but maybe he just wanted to do something like Ozzy or Dio and have a band named after himself
@@GrayWoIf I can understand King wanting to put his own name out there but Ozzy and Dio were fired from Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath was still a thing when Ozzy and Dio had their solo careers, when King Diamond had his solo career there was no more Mercyful Fate, Mercyful Fate just turned into the King Diamond band.
@@spaceace4387 that's true...ill have to look into it because you're right it's virtually same band just like how in the 90s people got replaced but it was still "Mercyful Fate"
@@GrayWoIf Yeah for all of my intents and purposes I consider Mercyful Fate and King Diamond to be the same thing. On my itunes I labeled all of the Mercyful Fate tracks as "King Diamond" and I meshed them together on my CD tower so it goes in this order: The Beginning, Melissa, Don't Break The Oath, Fatal Portrait, Abigail, "Them", Conspiracy, The Eye, In Concert 1987: Abigail, Return Of The Vampire, In The Shadows, Time, The Spider's Lullaby, Into The Unknown, The Graveyard, Voodoo, Dead Again, 9, House Of God, Abigail II: The Revenge, The Puppet Master, Give Me Your Soul...Please
One of the tightest metal performances I've seen in a LONG time! Fans going insane, being thrown off stage and the band pouring their heart into the music! CLASSIC
Awesome!! This shit is so original. These guys were indeed innovators of heavy metal and every one of it's sub-genres. I've never seen Mercyful Fate or "The King" live. I feel so deprived.
haha so funny when King was moving around with the doll and then he just kneed it. skinniest security guards i've ever seen; they were so weird how they came out like a flash and viciously threw people offstage. also, if you look close, you can see them lurking behind the speaker stacks, with their little arms and heads poking out from the side, spying on people lol
@furion111111 You think this is a song by Metallica? You have got be fucking joking...this is a classic Mercyful Fate song, of which three of them on playing it in this video.
Fuck those people. They have no buisness on the stage. To bad their wasn't a bouncer to chuck that piece of shit off the stage before he stabbed and killed Dimebag Darell. You never know someone's intent or if there crazy or not.
@@elculiaodelosjudaspriest Because I am a singer as well, and falsettos are much easier to do than James full voice screams (back when he was young) I just prefer James's voice I guess
saw KD live in 87 in small hockey rink in Germany. w/ Destruction and Motorhead!. THose were great metal days!
Holy shit, what a lineup!!!

HAHA that last dude got launched into the crowd!
i saw the same show same set in austin,tx. same tour. i was scared
👑 💎 sayz BOO!
Satanic falsetto warmachine!
Grande re
King is interested and fond of occult and satanism,but he doesn't bow is brain to any religion.. I think. It's art
Bandota!!!!
LaVeyan
Am I the only one who gets pissed seeing those bouncers throwing people off the stage? They can severely hurt somebody
Ask Dimebag

Calm down. In the 80s it was very common for fans to jump on stage at metal shows. They are harmless. Don't let one bad apple spoil it for everyone.

@coalhalo Who sayd this song is by metallica ? go read again what i sayd ,
Waar in Eindhoven was dit dan? Lijkt namelijk niet echt op de oude Dynamoclub waar ze drie jaar daarvoor speelden :D!
In het Karregat.
Looks like chucks stealth
Older model ofc :D n if it is even BC...
hes not on the stage
is he touring in 2012?
whats up with the bouncer shoving dudes off the stage before they get a chance to dive
@furion111111 i did my opinion haha ; ]
Is this when they opened up for Winger or Poison?
No, Helloween, King Diamond, Agent Steel, Lääz Rockit, Avalon. Not sure about the order though.
IT MIGHTA BEEN TWISTED 💩 BAG. C MY COMEDY N CHRIS✝ VIDEO
alguien que lo tradusca al español
Is king diamond a laveyan or theist satanist becouse he admitted to performing a satanic ritual
i Think Leveyan
evolution759 LaVeyan. LaVeyan Satanism still has Rituals in it for some reason
Some paedophilic allusions there with the doll and all, but a good show none the less, lol.
In my opinion James Hetfield's i think is much better , anyway good job to King if he wrote this song ..
Millennial asshole
Dude King is a legend wtf
I don't get how Hetfield's singing is better than those epic King falsettos lol
