King Diamond - The Candle (Live @ Holland, 1986)

[@EvilForgemaster]

Undoubtedly King's best live performance. He is immaculate

[@soberslayer666]

The King era begins AMAZING ALBUM FATAL PORTRAIT truly original artist there will never b another, THANK U KING.

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

Mate, "fucking awesome" is soooo underated in this context - it took me until 2016 to finally get to see the band and guitarist (Andy Laroque) that turned me from a Punk into a long-haired Metal Head and inflicted me with a passion to learn to play guitar - hearing "The Candle" back in '86 was *THE* track that did that, and I've never looked back. PS - the first KD album was "Fatal Portrait" and not "The Portrait" but I'm sure you knew that and it was a simple typo 😝

Saw this tour in Branford, CT at a place called Sneakers. Kind Diamond headlined - opening acts were Megadeth and Blessed Death. Summer of 86'.

[@arrell]

Always awesome when people recognise that there were/are other fantastic musicians in this band.

[@CoachEfrainLara]

Amazing kind of energy! King is the real legend

[@ENRIAG]

[@SpiritualOnslaught]

denner using a stealth? =cool laroque using a jackson?= weird back then i thought andy loved his bc riches as well. hmm maybe he switched just before or for abigail?. That stealth is hot though looks like an nj newfound respect for denner for me. \m/

[@krystalharwood3123]

drakkon8 it's Fatal Porttait, not just The Portrait

[@balrogtheundefeated]

It's sad to see King going insane on his own. The whole band should have make up like him to elevate the psychotic atmosphere on that stage.

[@KxK96]

that organ keyboard or w/e sounds like a baseball match xD haha anyway, HAIL THE KING !

[@krystalharwood3123]

I mean Portrait

[@szymoon666]

what the fuck?! the album is entitled "Fatal Portrait" not "The Portrait"!!!

[@robertpreston2220]

so?

[@schuriken]

the one responsible for the dud candle died from a terrible curse and now suffers eternal damnation in Hell

[@walt52690]
