King Diamond - No Presents For James

Live 1987, with Metallica on stage.

[@swef1234]

Metallica and King Diamond on same Stage, fucking cool man! One of the memorable moment of music history ever!!!

[@maigaard7]

This is probably the coolest birthday ever caught on tape!

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

Hell yeah!!! King and Metallica? Awesome!!!!!

[@mechanoid2k]

and that day james instantly became the most popular of his friends

[@djpaulywood]

wow there wasted, look at how young everyone is! ahhh the good ol days, those were great, im glad to be a part of history!

[@ComaLies225]

Love the Acapella vocals from king. The Vibrato and falsetto were perfect!

[@bruceblankenship6]

I was there that day. Long live the stone. A day I’ll never forget. 😆

[@Tytokman]

Happy birthday TOOOOOO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU! man i love his high voice.

[@Electrotrash420]

Freaking beautiful vintage treasure.

[@HevyImpaler]

That's how a Heavy Metal Party should be! And with lots of beer!

[@Wraith6669able]

Ah the glory days of metal. I'd give anything to go back to the 80's. This is how the shows were and how they should still be today. The music would start and everyone would go fucking crazy...not everyone STANDING around watching the bands like they do now. Seen Diamond several times, from late 86' to just a couple years ago, and he's kicked ass every single time. ALL HAIL KING DIAMOND!!! \m/ \m/

[@steel18]

How great is that????????????????????? Loved King since the beginning.Metallica has come back to life.Thanks Rob!!!

[@undertakerofevil]

I would love to be an old man now if it meant that I could have lived through this crazy shit, I was born to rock and it seems I missed the heyday. Just look... the band is practically fighting off the crowd themselves... now that is metal. \m/ long live the rock \m/

[@whiplash986]

ah brings tears to me...so nice to see what was back in the 80's .great times

[@MrEvilz6]

Fuck!! This is SO fucking heavy!!! King Diamond really slays, man! Been watching this video since like 10 years ago & still believe this was/is one of the heaviest & phenomenal metal gig out there! Might be the best!

[@fatalframer87]

One memorable moment in the history of metal

[@PokemonNerdNero]

It's James's birthday today as I write this. I'm watching this at least 5 times today

[@cronos42]

Very very cool footage, old skool to the extreme!

[@gronkomat]

you can find that kind of crowd-right-at-stage-and-sometimes-on-stage in small clubs even today. of course the bands that play in those small clubs are not that famous, but often you will be surprised what good stuff there is in the world of rockmusic, especially metal.

[@jukpulver]

I was at this show. August 3, 1987 at The Stone in San Francisco. The opening band was Trouble. As for where is James. He appears for a few seconds on the right side of the stage at 2:27. No Jason at the show.

[@jcmetalcine]

Excellent jewel, james has some good albums, but the king singing his birthday has no price. Thanks to the man that posted this sick video!!!!!!!!!

[@horseboyken]

@undertakerofevil I lived through it I'm 45 went to all the heavy shows in philly back in the eighties it was wild too bad it can never happen again

[@instereovideos]

that's the best thing i've ever seen.

[@kentagion]

hell yes, you nailed it, "whiskey high", riot act, section 8, 7-9 and out, DRAGONFIRE!!!!! metal bands of PA.

[@silverroddo1468]

Damn, this is crazy, a tonne of fun.

[@prokopii18]

Is everybody crazy. You say "James doesn't deserve this!". Of course he deserve this, he is 90% of Metallica and their songs :)

[@scales1020]

outstanding!!!!!!!great great vid!thanx for sharing!!!!!

[@LintRiggs_]

How does he deserve it. James is the coolest guy in Metallica

[@JesseDAWest]

Man. Thats so friggin coool. King rules! My dad actually met Mikkey Dee. That guy was like a giant. He was tall as hell. The show my dad saw him at was cancelled because of some kind of problem with the sound and king couldnt sing idk, but he asked my dad to sing some king diamond for him and he was like "daaamn. we might just get you to take kings place. " hahaha XD.

[@joshbong420]

[@Varakas77]

Fucking rules !!! Metallica and King Diamond yeah!!!

[@sunreynyc]

@undertakerofevil It was a fun time, I sit back shut my eyes, smile, laugh at the memories. From GBH to Christian Death to The Adicts during the 80's, I had it good. All the music made me a sane person, no therapist could match the cure I received. I like when the yougins denounce me in what I've become, a calm middle aged guy, with a nice suit best for those in a casket (pay back is a bitch). You were born the right time, just find the wave that stokes you, it's out there somewhere?

[@jcalfucura]

las cago! increible! fucking amazing!

[@scoobameru2458]

LONG LIVE THE KING! SCREW METALLICA
