This video has probably some of the best lead guitar tones I've ever heard on a live show.

[@snoopyolsey]

I think it's dubbed. I agree the guitar is awesome but I thought it a little strange the camera next to never showed guitarist playing what I was hearing. Saw more of the singer playing air-bone then close-ups of actual shredding. Nice pink guitar. That's a confident hetero right there.

[@netyaroze1663]

Don Johnson Doubt it's dubbed brother. It's more than likely a pure output from the Mixer with environmental ambiance from the crowd and the reverberation of the stadium eq'ed in, thats how alot of live albums and tv appearances are recorded :)

[@chichikov617]

the audio is from a different time/place; deadly lullabies live CD (2004)

[@Jangocat]

No doubt the biggest vocal range in metal history, and spot on live.

[@Youre_Right]

Actually only 4 octave range. Axl Rose has the largest vocal range in rock. I know you said metal but still. Corey Taylor from Slipknot also has a 5 octave range as does Axl, but Axl can hit notes higher then Corey.

[@Jangocat]

David L You gotta be kidding me, literally no one supports your claim. Even people that don't like King Diamond give him credit for his range. Axle Rose was good, but can't compare to King Diamond. King Diamond would blow Axle off the stage. I saw him last summer and he still has all his power and range. Axle Rose hasn't been a good singer in over 20 years. I loved GnR in their day BTW, but I gotta call em like I see em.

Yea, no one will ever sound like this, but that's as it should be. That doesn't even imply music today is all trash.

Oh man, they sound so fucking good, live! King's singing is near-flawless!

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

The whole band was flawless live, and incredible in the studio. As a guitarist I was very influenced by this album.

[@thefurrylittleotter3460]

The King is great, no doubt, but his wife sings alongside him word for word along with two vocal techs with huge racks of equipment. I could sound almost as good. Takes nothing from him though. He rules.

[@CyTolliver]

This is a studio recording. You can tell just by listening,they may have added crowd noise but the video doesn't even line up

[@GJones462-2W1]

@@CyTolliver No, no, no! This is NOT a studio recording. I've been listening to King since his days with Merciful Fate back in 1985. I'm also a guitarist who can play everything on "Them" and can assure you that this is no lip syncing. It's a poor quality video, that's why the sound/video doesn't match up. Poorly produced, and arranged, obviously. Listen to the first solo starting at 0:18 played by Andy Laroque. You only hear ONE guitar, where as on the studio, it's two guitars playing different melodies, or an overdub on top of the first. Not possible to do when live.

[@CyTolliver]

@@GJones462-2W1 poor quality video doesn't explain the seemingly constant lack of sync between the drums and what the drummer is doing...he's playing a beat on the ride and and snare but in the video clip he's doing a fill around the toms or a cymbal crash...Plenty of bands polish up live recordings. I hear layered guitar tracks...I'm a session musician and have been my whole life, that's irrelevant tho, anyone with ears and eyeballs can tell this video doesn't match the audio.

One of the most underrated vocals ever. He easily fits the top 10 best vocalists of all time.

[@speraza53]

DarkFoX750 i read once that on hit parader magazine...he is on top 10 heavy metal singer. great voice and energy. differents tones. \m/

[@Headbanger9000]

DarkFoX750 King Diamond is my personal favorite Heavy Metal singer and artist. He brings a very unique aspect of singing into Metal. He uses a wide variety of tones, has a four and a half octave vocal range (even more than Rob Halford) and can change registers on command. That is extremely hard to do, while singing in key at the same time. His counter tenor range (falsetto) is very unique sounding. Very similar to a classically trained singer. He uses a reinforced falsetto, where he pushes a false note into the head register which makes the note more crisp and powerful. He is using his nose to shape the tone and pitch. Very unique sound for metal. His style of falsetto is more commonly heard in Sistine Chapel choirs and R&B music. In fact, KD uses the same falsetto technique as the Gibbs brothers from the Bee Gees as well as Frankie Vallie of the Four Seasons :D

[@itkojecockot]

+DarkFoX750 I wouldn't say he is underrated...... every single metalhead knows the greatness of King's vocals.......

many people dislike king because of his falsetto technique... i don't judge them... but i believe heavy metal have no rules, the voice is important but isn't the only thing that matters; people need to pay little more attention to the lyrics, King Diamond maybe isn't the greatest heavy metal singer of all time but he's indeed an amazing artist with a very unique way of story telling.

No one, and I mean *no one,* has ever made the words _grandma_ and _tea_ sound so ridiculously metal. The genius of the story coupled with the rest would just have us laughing our asses off as we head banged and sang along... _Are you out there?
