As Mickey Dee himself once said, it's better to be underrated than overrated. Awesome heavy drummer

[@ShimithDomencio]

funny seeing Metallica fans hatin on a tribute cover for a prize ceremony on one of their songs like its some competition which version is better lmao

[@LeoMessiGoat1986]

Mikkey Dee! One of my fav drummers of all time. I met him backstage after a Motörhead gig a few years ago in Copenhagen. I told him I played drums and that he was my fav drummer. He took my hands, closed his eyes and said: 'Yes... You have drummer's hands!' Awesome guy and an absolute legend. RIP Lemmy \m/

Lyxzen playing for the king.. who would have thought that back in the 90s..

[@user-vd7cm6kv6i]

Mikkey dee is totally baddasery at its finest ❤

[@destroyermaker]

I suspect there's a part of Dennis that would love nothing more than to flip those tables and walk out

[@sfermigier]

"The best drummer in the world" as Lemmy used to say.

[@megasvennen]

Mikkey Dee is easily in the top 10 best drummers in the world.

Mickey Dee is an animal on drums, and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I was having a chat with him after a show, and these girls were trying to get him to leave, but he stuck around for about half an hour as we talked music. Pure class, no ego whatsoever, and doing what he loves to do. He would do it for free......

Hope everyone tip their imaginary hats to Svante Henrysson on Metal Cello.

Mikkey Dee is amazing! His drumming in King Diamond is some of the best to come by, ever. Such creativity and unique playingstyle is rare to find in any band.
