  • Very underrated song by King, my favorite on SPIDERS LULLABY keep the evil coming & remember 18 is 9.

  • Interesting how the people criticizing KD are immediately bumping their fave bands (Rush? Van Halen?) Which are also good bands, but it's sad to see people so wrapped up in them that they can't appreciate other bands.

    Not to mention that really, KD is about as metal as it gets. You don't have to like them to like metal, but it's kinda weird if you don't.

    If you don't like metal (Rush? Van Halen? Metal? Really?) then WHY ARE YOU HERE?????

  • 1:57 Should that happen? lol

  • All his stuff sounds the same. He s a wanna be. Van halen.

  • @MrSaint9202254 - worst comment ever.

  • @MrSaint9202254 hahaha are you kidding me?

  • King Diamond is an important part of our Metal History.He is a master at his craft.Although right now he is recovering from a major heart operation so hopefully he will return and give us more brilliant music

  • the music is prety good.. king diamond needs to learn an instrument and become useful or sing for justin beiber for music worth a shit see Rush~ CARAVAN

  • @MultiRushfan on Rehearsal versions of The Invisible Guests and Bye, Bye Missy featured King and Andy on guitars

    13. "The Invisible Guests (Rehearsal)"

    14. "Bye, Bye Missy (Rehearsal)"

  • @MultiRushfan learn an instrument? he plays guitar rather well and writes most of the music himself.

  • Me and my friend would like to know what album this is from cuz were both morons

  • @cookiefromgod It's the opening song from King Diamond's "The Spider's Lullabye"

  • One of the great metall singers of all time.Why isnt he more popular?I cant think of a reason.

  • @Big77Jim Everyone says he is unpopular? But all who I have seen all love him, I saw a "100 best albums of Metal" topic in a magazine once, the #1 album was Don`t break the Oath, the second was Melissa... infront of all others of Slayer, Metallica ect. I`ve never really seen any bad words about him or MF.

  • @Goetterreien Anyone who knows about King loves him unless they are some sensitive Jesus freak or some Hardcore cookie monster vocal loving animal.I was commenting on how many people have not even heard of King Or Fate.It blows my mind that one of the bast singer/songwriters in metal history dosnt get the credit of Priest or Maiden.It could be the area I live in.When I saw King at the Moore Theater in Seattle I was suprised how small the crowd was but grunge fans can be wierd.

  • @Big77Jim I see, I can see how he and them are seldom mentioned on TV along with Venom compared to Maiden and J Priest. I think however that KD and MF`s ultimate influence on music is very much, even if people do not offer the public credit as much.

  • The Spiders Lullabye is my favorite album... Fuck yeah \m/

  • Kim Bendix Peterson Rules, he is God.

  • Make king diamond a god of a new religion...Call the religion heavy metal.

  • King Diamond is a JOKE.

  • @PureMetalFan Although im not a huge fan of him, please tell me your kidding. He has such a huge vocal range that its insane. Recognize talent when you see it man :/

  • @keegansnotabadass: We can agree to disagree. Hey, please check out Rob Rock's song Slayer of Souls on here and let me know what you think.

  • @PureMetalFan eh im not a fan of this type of music honestly, so if its similar i probably wont enjoy it, but ill check it out anyways.

  • @PureMetalFan lol. And you call yourself PureMetalFan? Let me guess, you like metalcore? Huh? And deathcore? And all that gay emo shit?

  • @HeavyMetalMarauder Yeah, NO. Dude, check out "Slayer of Souls" by Rob Rock and let me know what you think.

  • @PureMetalFan I will later. Let me add it to my saving for later thing.

  • @PureMetalFan

    It's like saying Rob Halford isn't the metal god, you're a joke. King Diamond is the king and Halford is a god. They're both talented and their vocal range is impressive.

  • @SykarReakor Let's agree to disagree. Check out the vocals at the beginning of 'The Final Sacrifice' by Avantasia and let me know what you think.

  • @PureMetalFan

    King diamond is using falsetto, the singers never used falsetto to my knowledge, so it's totally different.

  • @SykarReakor Singers of Avantasia*

  • @SykarReakor Dude, check out 'Wicked Maiden' by Impellitteri and let me know what you think.

  • @SykarReakor And they are both gay..... hmmm

  • @PureMetalFan Why are you even here...Got nothing better to do? You better go help your mom change your bed sheets and put away the beads before your dad gets home!!!

  • 0:07-looks like wayne newtons hairpiece up there lol

  • Very Good Metal! King Diamond YES!!!

  • 01:35 dave ellefson??? i know that megadeth did a tour with king diamond back in the late 80s

  • Junk trash music of the PUREST kind right here folks!

  • may neme is satan for portugal

  • Pantera - Mouth For War

    Huh

  • Sounds like Kiss the Shadows by Children of Bodom.

  • @charvelgtrs Other way around. This came out first.

  • @charvelgtrs if anything kiss the shadows sounds like this. not the other way around.

  • @666briareos

    True

  • Great Guitarist . King diamond cant sing for shit

  • @MegaReaper127

    OW than you must be so much better?

    What's the name of your band? I am sure i know it because if you are even better than king diamond i must have heard of you.

  • @MegaReaper127 Then don't listen to it.

  • Great Guitarist . King diamond cant sing for shit

  • WAKE UP!!!  :-)

  • If you have never heard of King Diamond or his legendary guitarist Andy La Rocque you arent a real metler.His 80s stuff is brilliant.

  • @fordmaddion His any stuff is brilliant, he's the only one who doesn't produce commercial music or repeat himself after decades of "kinging" the music. His stuff is always a surprise-each riff, each melody. The man who really inspires

  • @fordmaddion "Just" his material from the 80's is brilliant? This album itself is later than that. How about "Abigail 2". "House Of God" and the second best KD album (after Abigail) ever, "The Puppet Master"? Fact is, the King has given us 3 decades of excellent music.

  • Comment removed

  • @nese67 look just cause it was your mother and sister doesn't mean he is a sick fucker! your whole neighborhood has fondled so y not the King on stage?

  • this song is soooooooooooooo off da hook.....

  • I fuckin love "Spiders Lullaby" I just wish it was a full on concept album like Abigail Them, Conspiracy, and The Eye. Still fucking great though.

  • you are the real God of Black metal

  • One of the BEST VOCALISTS in Rock ;hugely under -rated .Has always been more dexterous than Rob Halford ;a treat for the Ears ,always loved MERCYFUL FATE since hearing Tommy Vance play Evil from Melissa .Thanks for the posting!!

  • NEVER HEARD THIS ALBUM ANY GOOD?LOVE ALL THE OTHER ONES

  • About 500 views of this song are mine alone.

    I really really need to buy the Spider's Lullabye.

  • @agrimms it is worth it, one of the best albums the King has granted us his humble servants!

  • This is really interesting original heavy metal.

  • fuckin king rules!!!! forever

  • jajajaj great asshole!!!! 

  • king diamond is soo cool,sounds like theres 2 vocalist

  • Me and my friend Chris are the only two people at my school who know king diamond is.

  • @53DoctorD you guys are cool why dont ya both come down to my place for a night of king diamond fun i got girls from scores in queens coming over i'll text ya after i get done with my session at the church

  • @53DoctorD burn your school

  • @53DoctorD Thats sad. He's one of the most well known vocalists in metal....

  • @53DoctorD tell everybody in school is bomb if they wont listen to King it will blow up when they all are inside :D

  • @53DoctorD That's sad! 

  • @53DoctorD spread the word bro

  • Hail the King, this guy can rock. Great vocal range! Fantastic!

  • Gotta love King Diamond. Fuck those bastards that made you take the upside-down cross off your forehead!

  • singer looks fucking stupid with the makeup :D

  • @darksith36 haha dude you love van halen, are you that much of a close minded ass ?

  • pls search for "tim ripper owens abigail" best KD cover ever

  • This is a great photo compilation, KING DIAMOND is number 1. hey, the little kid on one of those pictures is my son, his name is David Szandor. HAILS KING DIAMOND.

  • Thanks, Cool stuff. From the Other Side is one of my favorite King Diamond songs. Believer "Dimensions" is a classic thrash/prog/metal masterpiece! Take care and keep it metal!

  • @metalslut1 i dont have a fave king is simply a genius! haha but indeed it is i agree 150% bout dimensions! mine is gone. awesome heavy intro. dont know how much ive windmilled to it lol i too have a band if ur curious of what we got. chek us out the link is on my channel. hey likewise! \m/

  • I am a Noob to King Diamond though I have KNOWN of them for years. I saw this video and knew where the Concept of Captain Spaulding came from. I caught that, did you?

  • @Odd879

    I am not a King Diamond or metal nut, but I saw the comparison too.But the KD character reminds me more of the Haïtian loa, the guardian of the Cemeteries and judge of the living or dead Baron Samedi (or in Kreyol, Bawon Sam'di)

  • KIng Diamond is the only artist I know whose lyrics read like prose fiction - as in, not poetry, but fiction that could be read by itself. If he ever loses his voice, he could make a living as a writer.

  • King is my inspiration for write my new book...thank you MASTER OF HORROR.

  • Comment removed

  • god I love the old Metal bands like these. So badass, technical skill, great vocals, awesome themes lol.

  • @bedllama Check out Mercyful Fate

  • i read the book diary of jack the ripper when this album came out so this music remind of the book everytime i hear it, you guys have to read that book it will send chills up your spine. especially when i hear the song moonlight.

  • I believe in Jesus Christ but I worship the King.

  • @mbm13213 I'm also a Christian and really enjoy King Diamond's music. It's like listening to a musical horror movie.

  • @metalslut1

    Exactly.

    He's the Stephen King of Metal.

  • @mbm13213 I agree. He is the Stephen "King" of heavy metal (no pun intended) lol! :)

  • @metalslut1 LMAO, me 2 ahahahhaha!!!!! I love Jesus, but hey i got a lil soft spot for Diamond, his misical genius and creativity is hard to ignore.

  • @puppetmaster1777 I agree! SOME of the Merciful Fate stuff WAS too blasphemous for my taste (ie. "The Oath"). Most of King Diamond's solo stuff is conceptual horror story stuff (ie. Abigail, Them, The Spider's Lulliby) and that's the stuff I like best. Check out "Shadow of Death" by BELIEVER...awesome metal! Keep it metal!

  • @metalslut1 hell yes BELIEVER ALL THE WAY! great composers. i actually ignore any mention of satanism wen it comes to that stuff. the music is too catchy to resist. chek out seventh angel - passing of years. great instrumental. n if u wanna hear an even more insane instumental, laaz rockit - necropolis. n just to throw another badass band in, crionic - terrible solitude. enjoy

  • Their singer inspires me to smoke meth and develope a very high pitched voice haha fuckin love them

  • I shook his hand once when he was on stage, and the hand came right off!! he put it back on quick before anyone saw....but I saw it....

  • I never really got into this. Not much in terms of musical originality...but the make-up was interesting.

  • Doodoo?

  • @joemj413 its voodoo

  • advice to any future face painters of the future,shave off the cheesy mustache first

  • @qwq45 but facial hair is metal. and you cant walk around in your paint EVERY day so you gotta stay metal all the time!

  • @omgpwnd ah very good,have to give credit when its due.damn i just got my ass kicked,but im still laughing

  • Holy Christ its Darth Maul's brother. Sith Lord Darth Diamond!

  • i love his lyrics i mean even i dont have the cd at least i have the lyrics because they r like horror stories sort of like edgar allen poe although his sings them which he does well.

  • adoro a king diamond . ImI yeaaaaaaah ! de ptmr !

  • pota hagan heavy 

  • Thanks...

    

  • Can never get enough of King Diamond. His lyrics and music are just awesome. Long live the King!!!!

  • i Dont know why but this song always reminds me of the nintendo 64 game crusin' USA haha.

    HAIL THE KING!

  • @nintendojuggalo Maybe just the sound of the drums when the chorus kicks in.

    it just sounds like the game to mee but maybe its cuz im stoned all the time when im listning to king haha.

  • A couple of months ago my buds and I were in my mom's basement taking bong hits and jamming the fuck out of KD and MF.

    My gf says 'What's it gonna be? Me or your dumbass friends and shitty music?"

    The dumbass friends comment I could have easily forgiven but the slam on the King was too much.

    She walked home that night, the ignorant bitch.

  • @mbm13213 Good man, if your girlfriend doesn't respect your friends or your music, then she obviously has no respect for you and doesn't deserve you. Don't ever let someone get you to stop listening to the music you love, and certainly never let them shape you to be how they want you to be. That just proves even more that she was a hack. Besides, when that bitch won't be there for you, METAL always will be! :]

    Metal for life! \m/

  • stick with the metal kid she will just be fucking someone else anyway behind your back.

  • @mbm13213 hey dude, you also should know that girls respect( and you'll never catch them saying it) i said girls respect strong confident guys, if you act like a needy wussy "nice guy" then you are dead!!remember alice cooper& dave mustaine: " NO MORE MR NCIE GUY" the meamning isn't that you should be a moron or a brutal jerk, but its ok to be yourself, don't compromise your life , it sounds easy&crazy but try to be cocky, funny& with a strong personality& you will see!!

    metallic peace.

  • @mbm13213 I say ditch the bitch.

  • @mbm13213 Don't take drugs!!!

  • @mbm13213 HAHA, thats awesome man !

  • @mbm13213 thats fucking awesome!!!! long live the king!!! \\m//

  • haha gay xD the voice is like somenone kick his balls

  • @schmagu100

    haha gay xD It's like you barely know grammar or something. lol

  • @schmagu100 fuck u

  • One of my FAVORITE King Diamond songs! The Eye is also awesome!

  • Great band!!

  • HAIL KING DIAMOND!

  • from the other side is the devil I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I FUCKING LOVE KD

  • every song in damned near ever genre has stolen the root from something since 1980.... do ya know what that might be.....uhhh, 95% of music is disco based. all of the rap crap, all the lady gaga, altho she is smokin hott.

    king diamond ranks up there with pink floyd. they are a theme band, they have their own realm. i dont care if they got it from the incas. they personified it!

  • I guess i wasn't ready yet cuz someone is calling me back from the dead! ......kool!

  • satanic moda fakers!!!

    0/5

  • @Bindakis satans a pussy. I would of won the war long ago.

  • I can see why Mustaine like these guys allot, specially from a music standpoint.

  • King didn't stole any make-up. Maybe he got an inspiration from Kiss, maybe it was spontaneous (and maybe he just wanted to be incognito on first gig so if nobody likes it, he would not get beaten up in the street, who knows :-)). Anyway he's great metal hero, inspiration for Metallica and other famous bands, and Kiss can kiss his immortal majestic ass... they are just jerks playing homo tunes, trying to make fame out of accusing king and bringing his spotlights to them. Shame. Long live King!!!

  • @Bandurka Amen metal brother!

  • @Bandurka - King Diamond got his inspiration for using facepaint, from Alice Cooper. King has mentioned this many times in interviews.

  • @Sacriphyx didn't know that, i saw just 3 or 4 interviews with him, so good to know that. thanks, mate :-)

  • @Sacriphyx ahh! that makes sense I guess, I can see the similarity, except KD (in my opinion) is waaaaaay awesomer than Alice pooper

  • @a1guitars You are a Scum Bag... Why bother coming to the song and commenting with bull-shit? King has influenced more bands than you can imagine!

    You should be beaten for talking shit like that.. I would be glad to do the deed myself!

  • @a1guitars know what the best thing about King Diamond and 90% of his fans is?

    None of us really give a shit what you think!

    You can say what you want about king diamond, but at the end of the day, he's the one with fans, and you are the self-loathing loser that gets his kicks by being an anonymous troll on youtube.

  • king diamond forefather of goth metal / may he rule forever !

  • you are obviously an idiot. Keep listening to dream theater and all the other copy loser bands. or are you like a sum 41 or papa roach fan.

  • I love the King forever and have seen him at least ten different times in concert with and without Mercyful Fate!!He puts on an unbelievable live show!!I own every album and listen to them all the time!!

  • King is truly emortal metalgypsy2010 and i love how his kid is wearing an Onslaught Power From Hell shirt hahaha

  • king diamond/mercyful fate best of all time

  • I LOVE THIS SONGGGG

  • THE KING of Darkness!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fuck yeah!

    King Diamond himself is a friggin genius

    His work with then, Mercyful Fate, and now, King Diamond are great and awesome at the same time :)

    I like both bands tho!

  • diamond is da king!!!

  • now i know why king diamond was 1 of the bands that inspired chuck schuldiner. cause there fukin awesome

  • @mk21ism

    chuck schuldiner R.I.P.

  • @vexzivous Chuck was an awesome musician!

  • @vexzivous

    Ronnie J. Dio R.I.P.

  • @Nuhtin4u yes :[ such a tragedy all these great musicians dying!

  • @vexzivous fucking motherfucker don't pronounce shuldiner's name under this gay shit's video..P.s : i missclicked this video and directly saw your fucking comment

  • @mephistopheles889 Yeah, you "misclicked" ~ Sure. Do you always use foul language and attack total strangers to try and look tough on the net or are you just a troll?

  • @mephistopheles889 Dude stfu! I was replying a comment I read about Schuldiner you idiot! besides that Chuck was a fan of King Diamond and worked with Andy LaRocque. Not to mention King Diamond went to Chucks funeral. King Diamond, like chuck is one of my great musical inspirations so don't pull this crap.

  • DEAD MASSES

  • THANK YOU KING! 25 years of pleasure from your pen to my brain !!! YOU are truly immortal

  • King Diamonds music is unmatched. All hail the true king of heavy metal!!!!!!!!

  • Жесть

  • THE BEAUTY OF THE ' KING DIAMOND experience is every release has a fresh new sound but the same formula thats what makes this music so damn special !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kocham to

  • Best song from the Best Diamond cd... Spider's lullabye and The Eye, 2 BEST albums

  • greatest voice in metal! hes truly the king!

  • My favorite album from them is always the Spider's Lullabye. I know.. I know lot of people will say "Conspiracy and Them are the classical King Diamond albums..blablabla.." But I love every moment of this masterpice.Andy LaRocque's solos are ultimate!

  • that is an interesting theory for the American situation in the early to mid 90's, but it doesn't really explain why the M.F and K.D faired poorly in Europe though. Manowar's 'Triumph Of Steel' sold over 250,000 in Germany alone. Maiden were still packing out arenas all over Europe.

    you are right about the lack of balance though and even though i'm not an American, i remember trad metal bands from the U.S complaining at the time. Even Nevermore had to rely on Europe for a while.

  • King Diamond is heavy metal...
