The EVOLUTION of KING DIAMOND (1981 to present)

[@tapoemt3995]

At the end of this video I looked at my youngest Daughter and said Since I sang all the songs as they played, I guess that makes me a super fan?... She rolled her eyes and sarcastically said Gee Dad let's see, My 22 year old Sister is named Abigail and she was born on his Birthday, you named me Alyssa which sounds pretty close to Melissa and here we are all these years later and we're watching King Diamond videos while you're wearing a damn concert shirt of his... What can I say, I freakin' love this guy!

[@angelirizarry2666]

That's very neurodivergent of you haha I also named my dog Abigail Pretty fitting personality too

[@sergiochoqueh.6697]

The greatest singer of metal

[@WhoisVinnie]

Along with Ronnie James Dio.

[@skaggulkbergstrom2019]

Saw him in Copenhagen in 2019 with the King Diamond band. And saw him this summer at Sweden Rock with Mercyful Fate. It was the two best concerts of my life. And I have seen a lot of great bands throughout my 52 years of living. HAIL TO THE KING 🤘👑👑🤘

[@davidclark3474]

Met King at Namm in Anaheim CA in 1989. I was 17. He couldn’t have been nicer.

[@ChristofferHald]

Met him in 1998. He was really really nice and friendly, totally down to earth. As a fellow dane, exactly how I expected.

[@WhoisVinnie]

So Joey Vera who was a touring member for Frank Bello in Anthrax becomes the new bassist in Mercyful Fate.

[@RandomAccess29]

He's also the bassist for Armored Saint (which is the band that John Bush fronts) and Fates Warning meaning he's in 3 bands at once which is ridiculous.

[@concentrator3906]

@@RandomAccess29 yeah, what a guy.

[@MrJonabru]

Thank you very much, I've been waiting for this video for a long time, it's excellent!

[@tomaselke3670]

I didn't know that he left mercyful fate over a disagreement to becoming more marketable, but then went solo and became more marketable ultimately bringing more people to find mercryful fate by accident.

[@Cultofcelluloid]

If you can find anything by Hank's post Mercyful Fate band, Fate, it wasn't to become more marketable, it was a complete change of sound to a more poppy glam metal thing. Really, really bad.

[@DavidQuinones69]

I've seen interviews with KD saying Sherman would also begin to appear onstage for MF shows wearing a pink track suit. KD said it was the last straw.

[@tims6141]

Execelent job on the morphing over the years. My first experience with King was being handed an Egypt cassette single in 1993, then my first concert was the Time tour. I’ve been an addict ever since. Very cool video. Thanks!

[@Williameagleblanket]

Awesome. I seen King Diamond 2015. I’ll see Mercyful Fate at Psycho Las Vegas August 2022. 🤘😈

[@therealFearlessBOB]

So.. How was it? My guess would be "pretty good".

[@seagullpoet]

No one - will top him. Evil Metal to wonderfulness.

[@frankjaramillo611]

HELL YEAH 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO KING DIAMOND/ MERCYFULFATE. I'M 50YRS OLD NOW. STILL LISTENING. KING DIAMOND/ MERCYFULFATE RULES.

[@BLM_Big_Lipped_Marxist]

King Diamond has been around since the mid-late 70s. Amazing. 👍🏼😎👍🏼🇺🇸

[@JuanHernandez-of3ku]

Abigail sounds soo nostalgic

[@brianbauer7560]

Is he still touring? I'd love to see King Diamond. Been a fan for 35 years.

[@Ziomaletto]

He actually toured with Mercyful Fate a while back (the tour might be still ongoing).

[@seankayy4539]

I've been lucky to see King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. As the years pass I think how fortunate I was. Hails!!

[@danielacevesperez1545]

King Diamond in 2022 - 2023 is fire & look amazing

[@gavila222]

Excellent job Ale..he is now living in N.Texas..been trying for years to run into him.🤘

[@WhoisVinnie]

1:15 Metallica also had a song named Welcome Home, which you guys know as Sanitarium.

[@stevespell2766]

I became a fan of the 83-84 King. Thanks for all the years.

[@DavidQuinones69]

No mention of Kings heart attack and triple bypass surgery...

[@legiontrinidad1589]

No manches, te quedó Chingon esté video. A parte de que el KING es mi héroe. Wow!

Since this is the King, shouldn’t it be “Evilution”? 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

[@RustInPeace1990]

Super well done video and editing my friend

[@thomaspedersen2092]

Summer 2020 Mercyful Fate should do a reunion again and again. First gig Copenhell festival. But Corona stopped that. Therefore I happily bought a new ticket to 2022 at same place. BUT where was Michael Denner ? Last winter I talked with Denner. He said Hank and I cant be in the same room ..... So I am between 2 jobs..... This year he got a new job : Old danish thrash legends """Artillery""" !! (Not sure if he has become a permanent member or not ? (( Artillery "Fear of Tomorrow 85 and Terror Squad 87" ---- CHEEEERS ! )) 2019 I was at a GREAT concert with King Diamond. They played a new single and I am still waiting for their new full album ........ ? ! (Corona again ?). The best line up EVER was with Abigail ----- Timi RIP Timi RIP Timi RIP

[@37wolverinedreams]

This is very well done.

[@cynicalsurvivor5804]

Greatest of all time

[@COTLOD0390]

I didn't get when Hank Shermann wanted to aim at a more commercial sound, and due to that King Diamond left to form his solo band, which was more commercial than the Mercyful Fate's first EP and 2 albums.

[@AleYanok]

From the information I gathered this was something King diamond didn't like about his own band which led him to isolate himself with the rest of the members because King diamond wanted to remain underground despite the growing attention, this is what Mikkey Dee said and is to do with him leaving the band.

[@WhoisVinnie]

No 2022?

[@masterjake731]

OH NO R. I. P 2022 Lol
