KING DIAMOND TRIBUTE THEM - "The Invisible Guest"

[K1NGDANG3R]

Sheesh, why all the hate? These guys are clearly having a blast and pulled off the tune awesomely.

[nycbassist76]

everyone wants to be shallow cock suckers because you think it makes you cool? the guy can sing king diamond better than king diamond live

[moonsol75]

Fuck Yeah good job! Your voice is killer!!!

KING DIAMOND and MERCYFUL FATE RULES!

[WhoresOfBabylon]

@moonsol75 they could have called themselves Mercyful Fat ! heh heh, no this band are good really

[bigsexy9999]

King is getting a little chunky around the center

[matzchase]

Meatloaf delivers!



[Ray666Magini]

Guy can sing though.

[Ray666Magini]

God, why are tribute bands so sad.

[pacman13434]

love this cover, fuck what YT did to our channels and all!!!! i am so pissed off!!! give me back my old channel opitions!!! and my viewed friends list!!!! that total BULL SHIT!!!! ;(

[australnsbm]

Fat Diamond.

[mikeyozzy1]

@australnsbm You guys are funny lol. Brilliant..

[TombViolator]

Awesome voice !

[RigorMortisItrium]

John Candy kicks ass in this one! Awesome cover, blew me away!

[jameswhorton1973]

at 2:15 it clearly shows the bass player in front of the mic doing the backing vocals.

[pacman13434]

pretty awesome cover !!!! queen diamond please pay attention!!!!!! that how is done. great band. over all ~ on point!!!! :)

[Filletez]

Playback or half playback imo, with voc from some King Diamond live. Or technicians scrapped their job and and voc monitor is too loud, singers using it sometimes for better synchro

[LivonianKnight]

Can anyone say lip sync? Listen to the area from 1:47 to 1:55. You can hear 2 voices. On studio albums, King always sings both parts and has them mixed during recording so you can hear both voices at once. He can't do that live, and he doesn't do that live, he does the higher pitched voice. This dude is either possed or lip syncing.

[lancerambert]

@LivonianKnight

If you paid attention you'd see there is a mic stand in front of the bass player.

[mtl47]

@LivonianKnight have u ever heard of a second voice? that being guitar player, bass player or even d drummer.... It's not rocket science!

give them props they deserve it...

[LivonianKnight]

@mtl47 Yes, I've heard of a second voice, it's also called a back up singer. However, having two people that sound exactly the same, especially in octaves, would be rare. I watched the video, and some of the parts where you can hear 2 voices, neither the bass player or any other member are also singing. He could be using a harmonizer on his voice, which is something King Diamond doesn't need. So as far as your rocket science comment, you are obviously an idiot.

[LivonianKnight]

@mtl47 Watch the entire video, from 3:50 to 3:56 you can hear 2 voices, and you can see the entire band, and no one is doing a second voice. It's doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that, idiot.

[mtl47]

@LivonianKnight Hey rocket scientist! u don't c d whole band in that part that u said. Unless d band doesn't have a bass player WHICH THEY CLEARLY DO!!!

Don't b such a hater!

[LivonianKnight]

@mtl47 Hey retard, you can see the entire band. I've watched the entire video, and I have not seen any of the other band members singing, nor have I seen a back up singer on stage. Get over it, the dude is either using a harmonizer on certain parts, or he's using vocalized parts of songs that King has done. A lot of bands do that, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, all you have to do is listen.

[mtl47]

@LivonianKnight U r clearly 1 of those people that are so consume by envy that can't give anybody props for doing something you can't do... You are the 1 that has to get over it. It seems impossible for you that a band might have a singer & somebody else that does the harmony.

btw if you watch @ 2:15 you can CLEARLY see the bass player doing harmony!!!!

now compare the clip you gave me with the 1 I gave you. WHO'S THE RETARD?!!!

[LivonianKnight]

@mtl47 Consumed by envy? Dude, are you really that hard up to try and prove your argument that you have to result to ridiculous attempts at insults? That's just pathetic. Believe me dude, I'm well aware that bands use back up singers, other band members, etc. However, I have also had experience with bands that use technology to help them sing, and this dude is getting a bit of help.

[mtl47]

@LivonianKnight Yeah his help is d bass player!!!

U can't argue that anymore I told u & gave u d time reference of d part where u CLEARLY! c d bass player singing!

Is it that hard 2 say "yeah u r right, d bass player is doing back up vocals". It's irrefutable, there's proof of it!

Btw, that wasn't an insult. I definitively think u have sum type of envy or mayb u r just 1 of those ppl that r never wrong & never loses an argument... who knows...

[LivonianKnight]

@mtl47 Why on earth would I be envious of a wannabe? This isn't the first video I've seen where people use harmonizers or recordings for their songs. Let me guess, you are one of those who absolutely refuse to believe people lip sync, use harmonizers, or recordings in live performances. Wake up, pumpkin, because it happens. I can clearly hear it here. Just because you can't doesn't mean this band isn't using technological assistance for their performance.

[wachu281]

Awesome KEEP A GOOD WORK greetings from POLAND

[WarriorForBlood]

Fuck this, tributes have fuck...

[angelofdeathsix66]

What's Farva doing on vocals?!

[ironcitydevildog]

The guitar players and band sounded awsome. The had Andy LaRocque and Pete Blakk down to the note!!!!

[venpresath]

Man, Troy is fucking sweet! (the singer) Good guy, I only got to meet him. A good friend of mine is dating him!

[bloodstone2k]

Great job, you nailed everything that made the original a classic!

[herbieshirby]

Good job this is a great cover band!

[ninefears]

bien gordo, estas igual!

[HillaryHitler]

NOT BAD

Loved seeing the old Kramer

[DrMiX76]

i am amaze... well done... !!!!

[artrock101]

,\m/

[dfereday]

Cool. ONly thing missing is a top hat on the singer.

[Superdofagnes]

@dfereday Why the hell would he need a top hat? In his original make-up, King Diamond didn't wear a top hat.

[ironcitydevildog]

@Superdofagnes King wears the top hat with his new style of makeup he started wearing during House of God and The Puppet Master Tours. He wore it the whole show I saw him Nov 2003 in Allentown, PA at Crocadile Rock Cafe for the Puppet Master tour.

[Superdofagnes]

@ironcitydevildog Indeed but this tribute band clearly uses his old make-up and therefor doesn't need a top hat ;)

[ironcitydevildog]

@Superdofagnes No but I seen him wear different makeup styles, but you are right not with that style. I'm sure they play some of his new shit which is pretty awsome. The Puppt Master and Give me your Soul Please... are really awsome cds.

[Superdofagnes]

@ironcitydevildog Yep, I liked the top hat look better by the way.

[metaluk72]

Wow! You Guys are Amazing! one of My favorite KD songs! 5 stars for posting! 6 if I could! You guys need to come to CO US! I can sing high but not that high! Great Voice man!

[Meleeek666]

[M0n0bl0kk0]

[rodrigoalmeida]

[BurningTheCross]

Great!

[ruben1million]

I did notice this cover was around for awhile but was reluctant to click on its link because the picture on the preview looks ridiculous, but the actual performance kicked ass and the singer sings like kd.

[rockerfromhell32]

When i first saw the singer i thought that this was going to be ridiculous (cause he looks ridiculous) but then he sang, and it was amazing.

[Sean51410]

These guys do an amazing job.. what a task to take on this music..well done!

[dvs2751]

That was fucking righteous!

[Kilshot666]

Righteous!

[CrimeandPassion]

Excellent !!!!

[mamosauce]

This is bad ass for a cover band, I'm not even gonna lie I watched this because I thought it would make me laugh, but this was great.

[killert6969]

@mamosauce

I would think you would still laugh. Maybe for different reasons. I still laugh every time I watch myself sing King's tunes!

[Daydrummer1]

Muy buenooooooo!!

[earlturner2]

Kick ass!

[hatewog]

WOW!!!! You guys are awesome, four star performance :)

[irajaygold]

This gives me chills that it's so flawless especially being live.

great job guys !

[irajaygold]

This is actually the actual lead guitarist from kind Diamond' fuckin band right?:

[nikko024]

@irajaygold It's not the lead guitarist from the band, but THEM did do a performance with him.

[Ladykiller69]

Fucking Perfect.......nothing else to say but fucking perfect....All the best

[Mrvahalla]

[shortys136]

[fa272]

Pretty good fucking cover!

[flyingpigzjacob]

you killed it!

[copperkrone]

these guys pull it off pretty good-it aint easy to cover the King!

[stephenbryan1]

I think most tribute bands are fuckheads. But this is actually pretty cool. I'd pay for it. Interesting that there isn't a bunch of immature arguing on any of the comments relating to the very Satanic KD. I guess it's 'cause "Satanic" type people seem to be less judgmental than most. Or maybe people are just scared to talk shit...lol! There's a Pagan church here I'm going to check out just to see who I meet. Sacred Journey, if anyone's interested in getting on the mailing list.

[kvitekristus]

there is only one king...the rest of yoyu is taken from a sanitarium

[Redeadly]

The singer is John Candy! For me he's crazy! And I like his way to sing, really! The rest of the band is very good too.

[killert6969]

just for reference....My makeup is exact to the makeup King used on the THEM tour. King only used a white base on his entire face on his newest makeup.

[killert6969]

Thanks for all the awesome comments. "THEM" is working on an original which should be released Halloween 2009.

[powrslave]

6 stars

[Lokey346]

Outstanding cover. The singer looks pretty ridiculous, but his golden pipes make up for it. The guitar work was astounding too. Good to see King's music in good hands.

[killert6969]

Why thanks for telling me I look ridiculous. Now I know why people are always laughing when we perform. lol

[MrSean1997]

why dont u have a record deal yet? is it because ur doing what he did? (not trying to be sarcastic)

[killert6969]

We cannot get a record deal performing King's material. However, something may be written in conceptual form one day. I am just waiting for the busy little bees to get it going...

[feckineejit]

you guys sound amazing!

[yellowfin83]

AWESOME!!!!!

[8942712]

Awesome guitar work guys

[devilsfan1986]

One of the better King Diamond cover bands out there.

[killert6969]

There are a few good ones but not many.

[DrBumsmen]

aye, very good (y)

[mm2fan]

does any one have solo tabs?

[killert6969]

What do you mean?

[mm2fan]

well i was looking for tabs gor the intro solo since the guitar player played flawlessly and i thought he might have used tabs.killer playing though.

[metalstance07]

IBANEZ KID!!!

[chatuchakk]

this is a old band,but they are great in theirs day

[metalstance07]

THESE GUYS ROCK YO'......

[chargerboy67]

Fukin awesome...but is there really a market for a KD cover band? How many gigs do these guys get?

[killert6969]

We get gigs from all over. But mind you, we are just a tribute band to the great KING!!

[HASTMETAL]

so daaaamn fucking godass GREAT cover!!!

[9kingdiamond9]

That was amazing, although the corpse paint should have covered you whole face but that was minor detail, But Keep up the GREAT WORK 5/5!

[killert6969]

Actually, the makeup is precise to a T. look closely at King's makeup during the THEM time period.

[9kingdiamond9]

Ohhhhh...i didnt know you were trying to emulate the his corpse paint. WELL anyways it was an awesome cover!

[stashgalloo]

Perfect! cept the mic thing at the end...I ignored all that...other wise ....fuckin perfect!!

[killert6969]

Yeah. The Mic crapped out on me,,Ugh!!

[njvandus]
