King is 68 years old and is still killing it! I seen King a few nights ago in Cincinnati and he sounds as good now as he did 40 years ago! Long live the King!

[@IgorEngelen1974]

think he's even working on a new album

[@jannickravn9162]

It's his wife singing backing vocal Livia Zita

[@Dani-x01]

She looks like his daughter 😂

[@Patryn71]

@@Dani-x01 Well, he's 68 and she's 39, so she could be. But they've been together for many years, have a kid together, so good for them.

[@chitownstoneman]

When I heard his wife was singing on stage, I thought shed be covering for him because of vocal issues. It turns out she's just adding all the doubled vocals that KD uses so often on record. It really sounds amazing live.

[@LordLanthros1]

​@chitownstoneman yeap. Any long time fan can tell she isn't covering for him at all. Just adding the extra depth.

[@Evilslayer73]

Sleepless nights and Halloween are pure masterpieces

[@caljerm]

Just saw KD live Monday - the power of his voice live is literally supernatural.

[@embracerodusk2537]

Both Mercyful Fate & his solo band are incredible. Two of the most under-appreciated bands in all of hard rock/metal.

[@renantrudes7025]

One of the most iconic vocalists of all time !!!

[@turitamasnyirbator]

The backing singer is King's wife called Lívia Zita from Hungary.

[@MarkSimmons-t4b]

Saw him a week ago….he still sounds amazing. The King is forever!!!!

[@joeyb.8613]

Met King decades ago here in Dallas... A truly humble and friendly guy! His music is a genre of its own... Incredible live shows and amazing albums!

[@LordLanthros1]

I haven't had the chance to meet him myself, but I've always heard he's the friendliest and coolest guy you'd ever want to meet. Alot like Dio. One of my favorite things in life is the picture of him with Michael Sweet. While I'm not a fan of Stryper and don't agree eith him mich (and I'm not a subscriber to Kings philosophy either) I love that it shows the maturity and honesty it shows in them both.

[@joeyb.8613]

@@LordLanthros1 I was also very fortunate to have met and gotten to know Ronnie James Dio as well. He was truly in a class by himself, not only as easily one of the top 3 metal vocalists of all time, but he was such a genuinely kind and gracious human. I appreciate what you said about maybe liking certain performers, but not agreeing with their philosophy...... We need more of that in the world. Cheers to you!

[@inquisitorwalmarius6650]

only one band seems to follow in his steps, and they are doing a good job though they arent at hislevel yet. Attic! been a fan of the king since 2003 where i by chance stumpled upon a album of his as a early teen.

[@metalogical5131]

King Diamond is the best and is one of my all time favs .... he gets better and better! I have seen him and Merciful Fate 6 times and was never disappointed! He has had some amazing musicians with him and the backing vocals is icing on the cake. Great reaction vid too Beth. Thank you!

[@MetalPersonJ]

Thank you Beth. Man King's voice is holding up better than everyone!

[@thunderspike1892]

Great band. Mike Wead (Mickael Vikström) and Andy LaRocque (Anders Allhage) on guitars, Pontus Egberg on bass and Matt Thompson on drums.

[@Chevymetal69z28]

I saw this tour and it was one of the best concerts i've ever witnessed.

[@oscararzate7956]

Fascinante ....enloquecedor que música extravagante 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 quedé alucinadooooooooooo ........ gracias Big escocesa hermosa 💙💜

[@mladenbradac3832]

That's his wife. Never actually heard her sing or her back vocals, but yeah she is there :D

[@BlackieNuff]

Gotta hear King's albums from 2003 onward to hear Livia, who provides some female lead vocals as well as backing vox.

[@oldmanuserphan]

I wonder if she's only fed into King's monitor mix to help him find the notes. Not singing for him, just giving him reference for his note precision.

[@jeffreyhender5272]

You have to do “Halloween” by Helloween from the live Pumpkins United tour. Not one, but two incredible lead singers!

[@MetalPersonJ]

She did that already. Kai Hansen fronted/vocalled Helloween would be interesting (Victim of Fate, How Many Tears, Ride The Sky)

[@onsesejoo2605]

He must have the techniques right since he has been doing that for years and years. For the Christmas time, he has also "No Presents For Christmas". ;)

[@Michael-xb4ws]

That song is a must!

[@di0__0ib]

I agree with your choices 100%

[@travisharvey7911]

Abigail is an absolute masterpiece…that outro duel solos on Black Horsemen is lengendary

Yes!

[@jasonrichardson1208]

Same. In that order as well. 😉

[@goncalocarvalho4917]

hope you understand that you´re a ray of sunshine, it´s always a good day when a reaction/analyses shows up on my wall. i have the original 80s vinyl bought new then of this : ) yep i am old

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I’ve loved this song for years, after chancing upon it in an online search for Halloween tunes. The King’s voice and range is really something. He deserves a hallowed place in metal. An online choir from around the world is a great idea. Happy Halloween. 🎃💀🎤💀🎃

[@dietrichess9997]

I'm not even done watching this yet but I'm Liking it. You are hilarious and fun, and very open minded when dealing this material! Cheers! This is one of my favourite Hallowe'en songs. Thanks for treating it respectfully. 🙂

[@BethRoars]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@syimang]

The best King Diamond era was when he produced albums with Mercyful fate. These are the best line up of musicians.

[@kiamkuczynski6786]

I ❤KING reactions

[@johannesaxeman4508]

The bassplayer is also a member of the band Wolf. Check out the song Hail ceasar.

[@NJNDZoo]

He sounds better now (since the heart surgery and giving up smoking) than he has in 20 years, it's incredible.

[@HammeredReactions]

Back in ‘86 this was our Halloween anthem 🤘🏼

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

King Diamond. Yes. It's always good to your soul, Halloween or not.

[@hraefn1821]

Apparently King Diamond is one of the rare few who can use two vocal chords at the same time. I'm a music layman so I have no idea but I've seen this quoted passage associated with his apparent abilities: "There is a vocal technique used by Tibetan monks which allows them to literally sing a chord, or three notes simultaneously. This technique is not considered appropriate for most styles of western popular music, and therefore is somewhat of a mystery to many in the west. The technique when properly done has a pronounced droning which sounds similar to a digital audio effect. The technique may take years to master, but can be mimicked by producing a low sound from the back of the throat, and then shaping the tongue against the roof of the mouth as if sounding out the letter R. Adjust the shape of the mouth slightly until you hear harmonic overtones which are two octaves higher than the note being sung."

[@BethRoars]

Hey! You are right, he is using his false vocal folds and his true vocal folds. However a lot of metal singers do this too. You are right about Tibetan throat singing! :)

[@Dani-x01]

I'm not pretty sure if you did King diamond "sleepless night"reaction yet from this same performance but if not you should be next.

[@DerEchteBold]

She did and she must've been one of the first, that video is five years old!

[@andrewn4695]

King is the king of falsetto, for sure!

[@di0__0ib]

backup singer from the current tour is Myrkur, but I think the show here is with his wife

[@scottkossack5155]

Yes!

[@steev11]

I was at that show. So good!!!!

[@mingoayala1300]

Me encantó ❤

[@geirholte1222]

The man sings peak at close to 70. Nobody can match that high.

[@LordLanthros1]

That is Livia Zita. She is Kings wife and the mother of his child. She's also a voice actress, though I'm not sure of what she's dine off the top of my head right now.

[@metalrhubarb]

Love this song. Had to transcribe it years ago to audition a singer. Glad you had so much fun making this video! Would love to see a collaboration with The Charismatic Voice-but would the geekery be too much for KZbin to handle?

[@steversowersphotography]

you should react to the new merciful fate from this year is voice is still incredible, it's so unbelievable for a 68 year old man

You should really give Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - If We Were Vampires, or Jason Isbell - Elephant a chance, a lyrical genius

[@AdrianJeffreys-fj2fv]

King Diamond is extremely original though he does have a cool Alice Cooper vibe on the lower range you need to check out Nils k Rue from Pagans mind and Michael Ericksson from Circus Maximus

[@chezgraham]

Hi Beth - don't forget Corvyx!

[@PxNxWxGxW]

I'll take this over growling every single time.

[@DieTabbi]

Intereseting voice, something between Michael Kiske from Helloween and Axle Rose.

[@GuilhermeOliveira-rl1qm]

i love your videos! pls can you react to Chitãozinho & Xororó - Se Deus me ouvisse (Sinfônico 40 Anos) [Part. Especial Sandy & Junior] next? that's a live album by the Brazilian duo Chitãozinho & Xororó, The album is part of the celebration of the duo's 40th anniversary career, this song specifically is featured by sandy and junior (they are children of Xororó, a singer that you have reacted before)

[@sheffg7715]

Hey beth i think you should check out michael jackson’s 1988 grammy performance i think you’d enjoy it.

[@Illumignostic]

King Diamond is the cheesiest person that ever lived. Rumor has it he’s writing an opera with Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead.

[@TheEricBooth]

Unholy crap, watching you react to what I consider metal royalty is surreal. I've been a huge fan of King's since the 80s. I got to see him in Oakland in 1991. When they played the Mercyful Fate songs I about lost my mind. I never screamed and sang more at a concert than I did at that one. My favorite thing about watching you react to this is when you said "This is so King" much respect.

[@patriciaalvezdeoliveira7319]

Muito boa sua reação amiga ❤ Gostaria de pedir uma reação do cantor Gabriel Henrique com a música Vision Of Love versão acústica lançada no dia 20/10 ficou perfeito obrigado pelo apoio ❤️🇧🇷

I love KD but most of my friends don't. It's hilarious when you crank it up and watch fellow metal-heads cringe to something this awesome.

[@MetalBoozie]

For nearly 30 years I cant stand the voice Of KD. I tried it a hundred times. Then one day a few years ago I heard a KD song in a random playlist. And suddenly it clicked in my head. I listened to KD und Mercyful Fate all day and bought all the Rereleases of the albums the same day. Sometimes it took some times to get into a singer with a special voice/style. BTW. I have a friend who had the same phenomenom with Jon Oliva. ;-)
