Man 68 and still doing quite well his high note... long live to the king !

[@isaiassp2355]

Really? Thought he was 58, 59.

[@dwaynepeterson3927]

Actually King is 67 but whatever you are right he is doing quite well!

Danish Kim Petersen had some serious heart complications a while back. I Call this a COMEBACK!!!!!!!!❤️🇺🇸🇩🇰

Well when you are apart of that church......doing who knows what

[@anthonymiriello5029]

Definitely great band and a humble musician. King Diamond seems to be really modest and approachable in every interview I've ever seen.

[@JuanSalazar-hk7yl]

My favourite frontman... Bro, love this singer so much. 🤘

[@mikekiske]

His voice is doing very, very well. Thanks, King!

[@DamonMurphy1]

Weird seeing King without the makeup. And I always thought it was the makeup that gave him his special powers! 😂 Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. He sounds still sounds great! \m/ \m/

[@MoonOvIce]

There are interviews with him from back in the day, even in the 80's, without makeup.

[@affordableplumber4206]

This is easily one of the sickest guitars I’ve ever seen. That thing is killer!

[@brightbite]

01:15 Man, what a PERFECT note!!! King, you never cease to amaze me!

[@PlayitagainVHS]

The king sounds so good live.I love ❤️ king diamond. I'm so glad I had a chance to meet him 👍🏻All these years and the king is still kicking ass in 2024 Everybody Hail the King !

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

Dude still sounds great. And a really nice guy as well! 🤘

[@Hoglife]

MTV used to run a series about Metal and every week was a different band,Metallica,Iron Maiden and King Diamond,well in Diamonds home in Arizona,he is so laid back,dark but laid back,he invited the cameras in the house and what do you see?….., skull candles everywhere,dude was chill and then when it’s time for King Diamond he hits the stage,great interview

[@JE-western-rider]

Headbangers Ball, is this the program you are thinking of which was on late Saturday nite? My greatest memory of that program was seeing a couple of guys run up a staircase with Gibsons and a pumpkin floating around ...... my introduction to mighty band Helloween and the Walls of Jericho.

[@Hoglife]

@@JE-western-rider no,I remembered what show it was,it was ,” Behind the Music,King Diamond”

[@matzek.2431]

Bjarn is a very good drummer. When the dead again record came out in 1996 it really blew me away. Those fat, grooving and thight drums - together with Sharlee D’Angelo on Bass back then- brutal!

[@matzek.2431]

I've never been into Merciful Fate, but it's still good to see around around and performing. Props!

That Ritual guitar is sick and beautiful

[@300sl5]

What is the Brand ?

[@TheBoondoggler]

​@@300sl5It appears to say "Ritual" on the headstock as well as on the case.

[@gradybrown9745]

Thank You soooooo much for posting this.. I rare peek into the Behind The Scenes of a Mercyful Fate show.. would be great Bonus Material if they were to ever drop thus Tour DVD / Blu Ray which I really hope they.. I scored a "boot" of the Wacken show from this Tour but would gladly buy the Official release if it ever happens.. 🤘😜🤘

Damn, I didn't recognise KD.... 😳 Until he started singing, of course! And it's like time has stood still - your voice is still spinechillingly good.... 🤘

[@user-it8on1qp9m]

K.B.P. sounds unreal. Nobody can touch his technique and storys.IMO. I wish they would visit Nashville one good time.

Still so good after all these years!

[@maniaque37]

this sound much better than the original. even the guitar is better. i did not like the album version but this one is good. his voice is awesome in this video. i dont see this very often. usually old bands music and singer are not as good with time.

[@stevehunt914]

This is weird,... everytime i see one of my favourite bands there's always this one dude that pops up. - Its like he's Metal royalty or something. - I went to the Emperor concert, there he was on stage fixing stuff - I went to Psycroptic, there he was sorting admin for the band,... a minute into this video and THERE HE FUCKING IS again. - This guy is a fucking legend!! Håkon Grav, i salute you sir,.. thank you for everything you do!

[@MaximusAdonicus]

I had to google this dood! Apparently he's a Norwegian photographer/manager... Ur meetings happened all in Norway?

[@lviani24]

[@bryanmchugh1307]

Is Fate or King going to be touring through or near Washington D.C. anytime soon? I caught Fate live on the 9 tour at the infamous 9;30 club. They were AWESOME King somehow sounds even better live. I have GOT to see them again.

no in ear monitor for king diamond , old school

That was fucking cool.

[@misterslats]

I wonder if the staircases are actual faux marble or plastic/acrylic? If they are marble or faux marble they would weigh a ton and be uneconomical to truck on a tour of small theaters and large clubs.

[@MaximusAdonicus]

I bet there's zero chance they are real for the reasons u mentioned! I'd assume they are wood/plywood coated with DCfix.

[@misterslats]

@@MaximusAdonicus They look realistic.

[@user-qu2ci4pp2u]

They are fake,but they were build w a very realistic look. They close themto fit em in their tour trailer. Its very much like the setting he used on his last tour w his band. Its amazing how they made the whole stage
