Metallica - Mercyful Fate (Live W/ King Diamond)

[@juliusschadeck]

This video almost makes me cry. Its great to see Metallica paying a tribute to this unique and legendary artist. King Diamond may not please every metal fan, but his historical importance is something to respect.

[@BenEller]

GOD, that guitar tone!!!!

[@mettalx1]

Lars Ulrich: Dums Robert Trujillo: Bass guitar James Hetfield: Rythm guitar Kirk Hammett: Lead guitar Kind Diamond: Air guitar xD!

[@homeyiommi1921]

This is BY FAR the best song/medley on "Garage, Inc." and to hear them play it live with King Diamond would be fuckin incredible.

[@ryanbonevitch]

You can tell how much fun the Metallica guys were having living out a dream of theirs I'm sure, this is a phenomenal performance

[@Frank_Cohen]

Metallica remembering and paying homage to their roots by featuring the great King Diamond.

[@davidg8626]

Oh man, the memories. I bot that Melissa album when it first came out. it scared the crap out me at 14. Great album!!!

[@timothygforde]

At 14 I rode the bus downtown my goal that day was to buy the evilest album I could find. I already had a double Venom album but I couldn't get into it. Melissa blew my mind from the first song to the last. Amazing Guitars, Drums, melodic vocals. Satans fall was my fav because of all the changes that just work so well.

[@davidg8626]

Timothy Forde Awesome!..then came don't break the oath. Amazing!

[@devilsephiroth9000]

Melissaaaaaaa! Can you hear me!!!??

[@jimritzheimer7465]

David G the only albums you listen to the whole entire album

[@scrimpmster]

I got the In The Shadows Album and The Bell Witch still scares me at 38.

[@therealFearlessBOB]

And tonights prize for best air guitar goes to.. KING DIAMOND! Long live the king!

[@billyarsenault1970]

FearlessBOB Actually KING can play guitar very well. He writes the songs in his own band. That's why he is always air guitaring.

[@sidford8419]

@@billyarsenault1970 EXACTLY! King wrote the music and lyrics... Hey Fearless.... maybe stop being a hateful bitch and pick up a guitar yourself and see how hard it is to write for two bands for 30 years!!!

[@rikkilee64]

[@natheria4933]

Metal brothers forever! =3

[@TakeDeadAim]

King D is the king of air guitar!

[@ADKD1983]

Never have I seen such furious air-guitaring

[@ermesonmaia5727]

Fockn' man. This medley is amazing! Hail to King!!!

[@Metallicarulesall18]

I love how he does those random high notes

[@thecharvelshredder]

I just recently started getting into KD. I think he's a great musician, I love his lyrics.

[@lebensraummetal]

i hope you caught the mercyful fate 2022 tour because it was 10/10

[@anguivametal]

wooooooooooow Esto es increible dos reyes del metal juntos. King Diamond, Colombia we love you

[@billbonham]

Mercyful Fate was the most amazing thing in metal.

[@lebensraummetal]

\m/

[@MetalKen]

Its crazy how effortlessly the king does all the high notes.

[@alangkansrisuwor5480]

When you combine King Crimson and Crazy Diamond together.

[@XsadballX]

James: Dont Fuck It Up! King Diamond: Wut? James: Uh Just Talkin To Myself... LMFAO

[@spncrbutters]

I remember when I went to this concert and they brought King Diamond out onto the stage. Electricity was arcing throughout the air during his entire performance

[@fadetoblack1290]

All these people talking shit on King's voice when they don't realize that he was sick for quite a while.

[@Raezioo]

I don't see what the problem is? He sounds awesome, and i'm not saying that coz he's the King, just an honest opinion :p i like the rawness

[@garyhenley2138]

That was an awesome night! King Diamond and Metallica put on an awesome show! It was electric in Frisco, Tx that night! \m/

[@jamesellenburg8339]

Monster Mash it was hot as fuck too.

[@stuartewoldt1513]

Ya he lives in Austin, tx

[@jamesk.2195]

I was at this show!

[@zamdee]

I always loved the Metallica version of this medley but to have King sing here... It's like... F*CKING GREAT!!!

[@xKRISHNA]

lo mejor del show de metallica, cuando subio king diamond!!

[@DahakaMatthew]

King diamonds really in the groove, his dance moves haha

[@freezethedead23]

How about both are amazing! This is absolutely phenomenal!!

[@damienlucifuge]

For King to come out with an injured back and fight through the pain to do this is pretty commendable. I hope to catch a show of his after he recovers from his recent triple bypass surgery. King rules! Stay Heavy!

[@paulaamero]

This is Badass!

[@Debiruman1666]

You can talk any shit you want about King Diamond, the fact is he has something only few people has : he's one of the major influence of the biggest Heavy Metal band of all times, without him, no Metallica, just listen to Kill'em All, and try to figure how many riffs and breaks are directly influenced by Mercyful Fate... and it's also one of the major bands who led to the creation of Death and Black Metal...

[@pk81399]

I have been a huge King fan since 1984,,,King Diamond is above and beyond a very very talented musician/songwriter.Seeing him play live and listening to his music hes by far #1 in my book,iI personally can listen to King every single day of the week and NOT want to skip the song(IPOD)know what I mean.Watching Metallica and King do that LIVE was just bad ass!!!Look up ozzfest 2008 King also sing A new level with Scott Ian Max Cavelera,and others...ALL HAIL KING!

[@mnicrashSoren]

Brings back outstanding memories

[@alessandrosilva1490]

hail mercyful fate & metallica

[@HEATGUYJv3]

Bringing the blood of a new born child YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@buddahmaster]

Hail KING

[@lgvl2688]

This is a Perfect Equation!!! Metallica and King Diamond! :D!!!

[@vargulv]

It's unbelievable how this new generation don't show respect for King's and Mercyful Fate's legacy. Metal became heavier thanks to this guy. And God damnned, this guy helped Metallica so much in their beginning. Remenber that Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets were recorded in Danmark and Flemming Rasmunsen produced their last decent effort, ...and Justice for All.

[@thomasbennett6226]

king diamond is fucking ace

[@TheSilencer1776]

It was awesome.... I was at this concert drunk as hell, making out with some hottie, and watching the King sing Fate songs with Metallica!!!!

[@fernandoojeda8023]

He can "Trash" Those songs all he wants because the songs he "Trashed" are his songs not metallica´s

[@Trixter45]

22 minutes ago I first heard of Mercyful Fate's Melissa album around 1985 with King D on vocals of course. I was 9 yrs old then. It was on a 12 in vinyl record owned by my older stoner cousin. I was so scared of their music (especially "Into The Coven") I couldn't sleep that night. That is how awesome they are before and now. They became one of my fave bands when I was 12 yrs old.

[@lebensraummetal]

\m/

[@tom28753]

its so kewl to hear King Diamond still killin it after all these years!!! say what you want but can any of you sing like that? he is like 50 yrs old and still kicks ass!

[@michaelkelley88]

even when his vocals arent at their best he can hit those fuckin high notes

[@screamsfromthegrave3324]

I will also say that, his vocals dont sound anywhere near as good here as they usually would..and that's probably because he had been out of it for a while

[@farleyboy6445]

Shit they should just hire King to do lead vocals for Metallica . They sounded better with him than with James. It was at least a nice change.

[@deathailsatan]

+Farley Boy Yeah, Hetfield's vocals suck. Did you know dude actually went to singing classes ! What a fuckin douche ! Dude sounds terrible now. King sounds awesome as always !

[@beefzerkee]

+J.J. Decay He needed singing lessons because he fucked up his voice... it's why you can hear a difference between the black album and say, death magnetic.

[@c.styles2850]

J.J. Decay t

[@zakdarman]

This is the coolest thing I think I've seen in awhile

[@rlcinnj]

one of the great singers in rock music!

[@blackbloodstudios]

King Diamond is one of the most unusual and incredible singers in the HISTORY of metal....The fucking guy is a legend......When I was a teen back in the early 80's this was the music I played and wore the cassette out on more than once

[@m8nstruck]

I'm telling you dude this flying v Jame's playing with is giving me some serious chills I'm almost there!!!

[@FadeToBlackII]

best collaboration ever...

[@soldierofthelight3840]

Eu to todo arrepiado assistindo isso aqui...Um daqueles momentos que só o metal pode proporcionar!🤘

[@Workin2anEarlyGrave]

james and king diamond together on the vocals of mercyful fate medley! this is one hell of a cool sight

[@Bungle22]

As a metal fan of about 25 years (not counting my KISS years spanning 10 more years) this is about as metal as it gets. Love or hate Metallica, THIS IS IT. Metal summed up in 11 minutes.

[@personal972]

That is so freaky. No one can kill the lyrics like king diamond. I always understood the references, but my goodness. the matching is unparalleled. Seriously bad ass. nice.

[@goatyfive]

This is the greatest single thing the internet has ever produced.

[@adawong05]

just one word for this LEGENDARY!!!!

[@deadbullyzm]

And that's why you listen to the best I've ever heard? Good job

[@corvettebmw]

I SAW MERCYFUL FATE OATH TOUR IN 1984! KILLER SHOW!

[@AaronPr19]

amazing mercyful fate and metallica!

[@Razzzzman]

The vocal master himself King Diamond graces the stage with Metallica doing and excellent job on the vocals for the tracks Mercyful Faith. This medley of songs done for Garage Inc was a great mix, giving credit to the bands that inspired Metallica.. and to put on a Medley of Four songs from the Melissa Album by Mercyful Fate just shows you the respect Metallica has for their predecessors.. btw Melissa is still the best album put out by Mercyful Fate, and is mentioned by numerous artists..

[@lebensraummetal]

yeah and then mercyful fate started touring again and it was even more awesome than this

[@narutoguerra]

If you're talking about that guy who's singing, it's the guy who wrote all those songs that metallica put together to make this cover song,

[@rammsteinregeln]

King is definitely an acquired taste, esp. his shrill, shrieking vocals take awhile to get used to but musically King Diamond/Mercyful Fate are excellent, a lot of their riffs are reminiscent of early Metallica. King is also an outstanding storyteller- check out his tracks 'The Uninvited Guest', and 'Halloween'

[@zjfox43]

This is a great song, it is the best combination of songs ever and they are made one. Metallica did a great thing by putting these songs as one. Metallica is a great band. I wish Metallica would writs songs like this, all satanic like, but Metallica is so great and Mercyful Fate writse great songs. I love it all.

[@B0tharien]

Nice the are playing in Dallas and even Diamond singing a word in danish. Hail from Denmark

[@TheMatchu123]

everyone that knows metallica knows that one the the inspirational bands was Mercyful fate, this is awesome, wish i was there when it happened...

[@TheDragisadrakula]

Long live old school metal,golden 80's.

[@familyman14]

Being around back when both these great bands, Metallica and Mercyful fate/ King Diamond were around I can say this is definately good stuff. SAW both (KD and MF bein one) bands in Boston back in the day.

[@timglas]

Wonderful, thanks for the upload!

[@sayapilusi3840]

Hail to the king.. long live metalica.. RIP robert terjelerr..

[@TrueLegend47]

ALL HAIL THE KING AND METALLICA!!! EVERYONE MUST BOW!

[@wiltzer1]

KING DIAMOND=LEGEND.. one of the few that has never made a bad album...

[@Arnadath]

[@ZakkBurton]

[@spudsucker9489]

good to see the king back on stage

[@MooseJustRocks]

i was there for this... it was 100 degrees, and about 130AM... what an epic effing day...

[@Salaminizer1974]

Fave Mercyful fate lyric of all time- "I'll be the first to watch your funeral. And I'll be the last, to LEEEEEAVE!'

[@DahakaMatthew]

I'm so into King Diamond and Mercyful Fate just cause I saw this video. Always was/am/will be a metallica fan though!

[@meatz666]

Then you see how a metal singer should sing live... Just perfect...

[@ucod001]

Metallica & King Diamond performing together..... hold on i gotta go find a cup to hold my skull.. it melted with the fucking awsomeness

[@cesar1310]

Metallica + King Diamond = EPIC

[@TheGodie20]

i would like to dress like king diamond for a party in halloween! This look and his make up is simply the best. Long live the King!!!

[@OldManTheseDays]

Damn, this was a badass performance.

[@ironduke3376]

This is an awesome cover! fantastic with King Diamond on vox.... BTW excellent flob Jamez @ 4.28 :-)

[@Xxsharkman423Xx]

you even make air guitar look fucking awesome king!!! you da man!!!!1

[@nallavoks]

King Diamond, Godfather of Danish metal

[@ermesonmaia5727]

Damn. Amazing show!

[@DeadlyRamon]

@derplo1 Metallica recorded a Mercyful Fate medley on Garage Inc. over 10 years ago, and this is a much longer version live in concert just a couple of years ago, with each song performed in its entirety. It's cool that you're finally discovering the band, Melissa and Don't Break the Oath are metal essentials (as are King Diamond's solo band's first several albums, like Fatal Portrait and Abigail), and yes, Into the Coven is one of the songs in this clip.

[@JonathanFernandes]

all hail the master King Diamond!

[@sexyserb]

this is the most metal thing metallica did in the past 20 years!!!!!!

[@dababoe]

i've just learned mercyful fate,awesome²

[@DrJuice1]

if i could play drums for king diamond, even for just 1 song...my life would be complete.

[@Leto1988]

2:23 - one of the best recent solo's from mr. Kirk Hammett.

[@fleal464]

I was at the Dallas tx show of Metallica with king diamond I was shocked to him them

[@leroybaratone6930]

Great stuff, ty.

[@attoghaveympops]

King Diamond has some of the best lyrics ever.

[@barry951]

his voice is amazing

[@DeadlyRamon]

It's great to see such a successful band like Metallica paying tribute to one of their more obscure and early influences. I hope sales of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate CDs saw a decent bump after this live teamup.
