Mercyful Fate - Evil (2008 Re-Recording)

[Reotek333]

The current bassist for Metallica is good, but this isn't is type of music...he was the bassist for infectious grooves and suicidal tendencies...both amazing bands(in my opinion), but Metallica doesn't seem to suit him that well...

[newmasterify]

"ohhh lady cry and say good bye" yeahhh!!!

[Danney11]

HOE duifmeneer

[MrBanditz28]

I would expect this kind of Metallica bashing on a Megadeth song page but damn people , its fucking metal , less bitching , more head banging.

[alastor923]

epic

[rpcarnell]

According to some people, Denmark is the happiest country on Earth. Of course, they have Mercyful Fata. Unhappiest country? Canada. They have Justin Bieber.

[St0xHoRn]

@rpcarnell we also have Lars Ulrik

[Exciter91]

Cus i will eat ur mind!

[TheGreghingst]

@pathofgore that was the funniest thing I've read all day

[UnaDrinaNeretva]

MERCYFUL FATE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>metallica in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY! only Ciff Burton was a true talent! cliff king same talents with their skills! the rest is garbage of mlica

[john69jets]

@UnaDrinaNeretva Dumb ....... To say Hammett has no talent shows your lack of knowledge, to bash Metallica shows your lack of originality. Jumping on the bash Metallica wagon and act like their first four albums dont exist. Why don't you throw in a little Bieber bashing and beg for a thumbs up.

[UnaDrinaNeretva]

@john69jets I didnt say anything about hammet, ALL in MF is just better then metallica thats all. even hetfield admitted they are the MASTERS OF RIFFS! and yes the 1st 4 albums: mustaine was responsible for the best songs on kill em al and CLiff was the machine, when he died everything changed. even the Black album has got ROCK music on it. they lost the metalsound without cliff. but its useless and pointless discussing this like kids

[john69jets]

@UnaDrinaNeretva "ONLY Cliff Burton was a true talent" would be saying Hammet is not a talent. Basicly we are on the same page. Started playing bass when i was 15 im 42 now so obviously got nothing but respect for Cliff. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Metallica was the biggest player on breaking up the Glam rock scene and deserve respect for that alone. That being said Metallica could defintily have learned a few thigs from a MF live show. Peace Bro ......

[666wowfreak]

King diamond is too epic..

[BellethielDaugon]

Also, this man's voice deserves its own religion. 

[BellethielDaugon]

Denmark? Why are all the awesome bands forgien these days? America, I am dissapoint.

[Paganbreeze]

@BellethielDaugon These days? Kid, this band shone internationally before Metallica!

This song is early 80's recordings!

[frantzbrauner]

hej this is on of the best metalbands from denmark respekt it or clouce youer asses

[hollowskull100]

I AM CONFUSED!!! Mercyful Fate be Metallica has a section named "Evil". It sounds EXACTLY like this. Plus the bands name is Mercyful fate 0_o WTF

[kyatzz]

@hollowskull100 the song is called mercyful fate because it is a medley of alot of mercyful fate songs are you that stupid?

[hollowskull100]

@kyatzz That was my 8-year old brother -_-

[ProtossHydralisk]

@hollowskull100 Sure, everyone says that. But if your 8 year old brother is listening to metal, \m/ little man.

[kyatzz]

@hollowskull100 well cheers to your little brother for being a metalhead

[DrJuice1]

i think i like both versions equally. i really like how they produced the screams in this version. the older one is more raw and wild, though.

[MegaRain29]

Grandma: I don't want you listening to that Mercyful Fate band. Its evil music.

Me: Fuck you grandma.

[AbyssLordsUK]

the scream at the start of this is like angel of death scream

[AmericanThunder]

@AbyssLordsUK You have that backwards, this song was recorded 5 years earlier.

[AmericanThunder]

@AbyssLordsUK Or ... 3 years earlier.. hmm

[dmb912002]

i almost ALWAYS liek the originals better,. this is NO exception,, i liked the first pressing of The Beginning

[linkhackerneo]

is more heavy than the original

[linkhackerneo]

the original is the classic, but i prefer 1 million times this version.

[TheApatheistic1]

Melissa was an awesome album.

[Gillarlika77]

@TheApatheistic1 Probably one of, or even the best ever..

[elchingoso]

i still cant understand the image of this album

[MJuniR]

@elchingoso It's a skull

[Industrialdesign2010]

yeah...king the best!!!-

[ILoveMichaelJagmin]

the king nailed this one long iive metal

[xXvolhvXx]

I'm thinking about getting involved in the most evil of all earthly pursuits: banking.

[DioandMaiden]

@xXvolhvXx So brootal.

[emdeth]

I like the In the Beginning version too.

[ILoveMichaelJagmin]

this is one of the best of king

[thrashmetalseizure]

i feel so dumb....i just realized the picture is of a skull

i always thought it was some obscure punching bag or something

WOW!

[Marcolitfiba]

King Diamond is the metal's king

[herbieshirby]

Better than the original!

[MrMillionare777]

i was looking for this song everywere thks for the track

[Corpzmaker91]

hmm i'm enjoying this soing right now, but i don't know what to think..... it's great but i dunno if it's something i like or love :S

[Deathshuck]

"I WAS MADE A MERCENARY IN THE LEGIONS OF HELL, NOW I'M THE KING OF PAIN, I'M INSANE" XD I always loved these over the top lyrics, they're not pretentious like modern Black Metal lyrics, but actually badass.

[ultimatemetalfreak]

Sounds like his falsetto is just a bit on the flat side most of the time. If he can't hit the high notes anymore they should have tuned the guitars down a bit to compensate. The original version is spot on. The music itself is a way better production. Still love this band. They wrote some great classics.

[mestredigital2]

I prefer the original from 1983.

[pathofgore]

Ahhh the Danes, have they made anything horrible. Oh wait Lars Ulrich

[hyperloke]

@pathofgore hahahahahah, MADE MY DAY!!

[WolfangAurus]

@pathofgore you are my saviour xD!!!!! Killed my boring day xD

[mg7772]

@pathofgore Proberbly you!

[pathofgore]

@mg7772 But you see, I'm Irish-American, so poop on you

[BerZerK0]

awesome both music and lyrics....not to mention king's vocal!

[quinseq]

SO FUCKING AMAZING!

[OugaBoogaShockwave]

hahhahah, some 1 said bout "witesnake">>lol

this band's music is as classic as pizza is to north america 111

Schueyjr NEEDS a peppercorn, HOT sauce enema to clear the shit he's crapping !!!

[andrewdeangelo1]

haha whitesnake blows.....cant believe one of those fags was in deep purple.

[Schueyjr]

This version is wack! It's sounds like Whitesnake.

[chrisdamallanti]

es la cancion mas chida q eh escuchado solo por eso la escuchare antes de dormir jajajaja

[matt101071]

yeah!fuck off

[bodomaftermetal]

Whats with the stupid "lets unite" bullshit? screw that this stuff is not supposed to be mainstream and its not supposed to bring people together. Some piece of shit poser probably came up with that post

[DragomirSA]

@bodomaftermetal fuck you

[kerrigor778]

@bodomaftermetal I know if we do unite then we're as bad as pop "fans" fuck everyone else i like who i like lets see some variety in our fellow metal fans

[DominusLuna]

I like the original better because it was already perfect.

[18RustInPeace18]

I just uploaded the original version because I couldnt find it on here

[XXArmsOfNukesxX]

@18RustInPeace18

yours got blocked by WMG. Put in the description "i do not claim to own this song" works a charm.

[18RustInPeace18]

@XXArmsOfNukesxX ah really? so frustrating. thanks for letting me know

[18RustInPeace18]

@XXArmsOfNukesxX I re uploaded it and put it in the description

[XXArmsOfNukesxX]

@18RustInPeace18

its not there man, i checked an hour ago, not there, checked now, not there.

[18RustInPeace18]

@XXArmsOfNukesxX I had to take it down again because it still got WMGed

[XXArmsOfNukesxX]

@18RustInPeace18

WMG sucks.

[54terman]

Hello metalheads.

Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.

1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea

Lets show that metal kicks ass!

Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and were getting the power

[grannybenson]

@54terman Fuck it, i like it how it is...metal may not be popular but at least concert tickets and shit don't cost out the ass. It is fine the way it is.

[88mothertrucker]

@54terman great speach dude still no thumbs up

[UnknownDemoTapes]

@54terman fuck off, poseur.

[AvengedSevenfold1337]

1000th comment!

[HeavyMetalMarauder]

The first riff sounds like Aces High slowed down.

[rockstarjustin3000]

39 people would rather listen to Boy Bands than a Metal God!

[kaosknife123]

@rockstarjustin3000 Hey, I happen to like Metal AND Boy Bands, so bugger off!

[HodgiPodgi]

@kaosknife123 Hey, fuck you.

[susanakisses]

i love king diamond <3

[billgeezeriommi]

the original is better does anybody know what happened to kim ruzz?

[TheDaveDaveDave100]

Why is Hannah Minx in the related videos?

[morleck2]

@TheDaveDaveDave100 her breast

[Kryp7K33p3r]

@TheDaveDaveDave100 because youtube is fucking stupid.

[hamtheman222]

anyoe else think mercyful fate have just changed there name to ghost...

[billgeezeriommi]

@hamtheman222 i heard the singer might be kings son and the drummer might be fenriz from darkthrone

[hamtheman222]

@billgeezeriommi haha could be! we'll never no!!

[hamtheman222]

@hamtheman222 haha could be! we'll never no!!

[jiward99]

yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

[Cthalion12]

Great remake, but who all still liked the original track better?

[neurosisfan]

@Cthalion12- Hey Bro...I ABSOLUTELY like the original over this. The original hits that nostalgic chord from when I was 14 in a way this never could... Keep rockin OLD SCHOOL Brother

[dagothmartin]

@Cthalion12

Me

[xXMcKonradXx]

@stupidguyx Corpse paint or corpsepaint is a style of black-and-white makeup, used mainly by black metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots. The makeup is used to intensify the bands' imagery of evil, inhumanity, and corpse-like decay. It is most commonly used just on the face, but also on arms and torso. Sometimes it involves other colors than black and white.

[chuy1malmsteen]

sucks ass!!

[DrBlaze9]

Lars Ulrich's favourite band! :D Hail Denmark!!!!

[xXMcKonradXx]

@EvilDudeoftheDead It's called corpse paint not facepaint

[stupidguyx]

@xXMcKonradXx I don't think corpses do much painting. Calling paint on the face facepaint seems pretty logical.

[MegaAzharIqbal]

i love this version

[wolfthing11]

I prefer the original version, personally.

[FraterAbdual93]

I think its time for a reunion tour!

[40yearslate]

thumbs if you saw the vid Evil Catchy Songs of the girl with the big tits after this vid. it's inevitable...

[maofas]

Halford, Dickinson, and others being mentioned weren't falsetto users, except on the rare occasion and more as they got older. There's a difference between hitting a high note with your real voice and using falsetto.

[Danney11]

Metallica and King Diamond @ 1 performance would be so awsome (L)___(L)

[DrStatic12]

@Danney11

Metallica and King Diamond did do something together.

[DrStatic12]

@DrStatic12

Go to search and type in merciful fate metallica with king diamond

[danirannavit]

Ahhhh....maravilhoso....heavym­etal puro ...abraço a todos

[TheAnimalhouse96744]

I got this on a recommendation on youtube, and this song kicks ass. I like the lyrics. This King Diamond is pretty dark and scary. I LOVE IT!!! This reminds me so much of Halloween(and not the movie Halloween, the day), and I can listen to this everyday. Rock on!

[totpri]

fucking horrid best

[XxMetallic66xX]

Call me a liar...but i can do those falsetto notes :p i actually am proud of myself :)

[Metalmoe94]

Why are the bands that kinda invented Black Metal (Mercyful Fate, Venom etc.) so much fucking better than the bands that actually play Black Metal??!

for me BM is one of the worst metal genres ever, along with deathcore, metalcore, crabcore

[pkzao222]

@Metalmoe94 black metal is not for fags like you.

[Metalmoe94]

@pkzao222

Uh, shit now you hurt my feelings!

[MozBeettho]

@Metalmoe94

you will said it, but Mayhem is the true black metal, go to the fucking shit!

P.D: I'm not insulting but, the real Black Metal is Burzum, Darkthrone and Mayhem, those groups invented, but for me the true black metal is the norsk.

[Metalmoe94]

@MozBeettho

yeah I know that those you mentioned were among the first true black metal bands, but MF and Venom influenced them for sure.

Sorry but I don´t like Trve Black Metal ;)

[POTRADS]

re-release, are you serious?

Melissa produced by Henrik Lund was one of the best metal productions ever!

It must have been toned down for older people. The original SHREDS this!!

[TheAmrator]

@gragnuolo Bruce Dickinson could

[zzzombie888]

38 posers

[hyperloke]

I LOVEEEEEE KINGGG DIAMMMONNDDDDDDDDD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH

[MrHomer0815]

I´ve met him in mai ´86 before a concert in nürnberg (germany) and talked to him for a while. he´s a very nice and friendly person, not as the devil himself ;-) after that i got an autograph and it followed a great concert with the original MERCYFUL FATE!!!! Hail to Satan!

[hockeydude634]

i dunno the vocals are like a mix of judas preist and rush or something

[gragnuolo]

@hockeydude634 It's called "falsetto". King Diamond is the only singer that could use it without be ridicoluos!

[Doum92]

@gragnuolo Freddie Mercury, Elton John, The Beatles, Chris Martin, John Entwistle (The Who), Neil Young, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Genesis, Beck, Sting, Muse, Judas Priest could.

[johnthegreek178]

@gragnuolo Tom Araya, Kai Hansen

[TheAlxxHydeShow]

@gragnuolo Steven Tyler could.

[TheStrawberriijamm]

@gragnuolo rob halford can

[kaiylahani]

original kicks this shits ass but its still great

[Thrasher5251]

Mercyful Fate Fuckin Rules!

\m/ \m/

[PlankWall]

Long live the King !!

[nick2081000]

like the original better by far

[DraGzJMaN]

@nick2081000 ikr?

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

Mercyful Fate Fuckin Rules!

[thekiddiepool69]

sounds great,bass is a little to loud.

[middleagedpunkrocker]

The Original version is better but, this is one of my favorite Mercyful Fate songs..All Hail The King!!!!.

[TheKillerHorseman]

did you rip this from guitar hero? can you do the same with enter sandman and whenever I may roam? they dont have the dade out on the game, but they do on the recording.

[MrDodstink]

Ave MERCYFUL FATE!

[ghiribizzi]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh!!!!!

[Simo1996]

37 people aren't evil

[lockerdogs]

FATE FUKING ROCKS

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

King Diamond is a frighteningly amazing singer. Who else can do black metal vocals and 2 seconds later hit a falsetto equally inhuman? Plus, he has fantastic taste in hats and facepaint.

[ExNihilMetal]

@EvilDudeoftheDead

... I can do that. I know a lot of singers who can do that.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@ExNihilMetal Without sucking?

[ExNihilMetal]

@EvilDudeoftheDead

Yeah. Live, to boot - not just on a recording.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@ExNihilMetal How about for 30 years without sucking ever once?

[DrRichardzz]

@EvilDudeoftheDead Slash may not have facepaint or vocal skills, but he's got a pretty good taste in hats too

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@DrRichardzz Damn straight!

[minusjason]

@EvilDudeoftheDead Yeah he's good... but 1.) I don't hear any black metal vocals on this song and 2.) there are a lot of singers who can do the same thing.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@minusjason He basically invented black metal vocals, and I wasn't mentioning his prowess exclusively on this song, I meant overall. Secondly, very few singers can actually make me afraid, and King Diamond is one of those few.

[minusjason]

@EvilDudeoftheDead That refers to your reaction to his singing, rather than his technical ability. Anyway yeah he's good but I just think it's silly to say "who else can do vocals like that?" There aren't a lot of people, but surely you've heard some. I can think of Tim Owens off the top of my head.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@minusjason I'm a human being making a comment. I reserve the right to base my opinions of someone's technical skill based on my own reaction. 

[minusjason]

@EvilDudeoftheDead Of course, but it seems you're missing the point of what I was saying. My point was that just because he can "actually make you afraid" doesn't mean no one else can do black metal vocals and then 2 seconds later switch to falsetto. Two different things.

Anyway it's a pointless argument, he's a great vocalist. Tim Owens reminds me a lot of him at times actually.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@minusjason It is a pointless argument, and that's what I'm saying. All I intended to say is that he's good, and possesses impressive skills to the average human being. Tim Owens also reminds me of King Diamond.

[SnakeRambo]

@EvilDudeoftheDead Beautifully put, my friend.

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@SnakeRambo Thank you!

[DEadious]

i had a girl named melissa poopoo like

[mjf920]

ALL HAIL THE KING!!!

[bookworm1138]

@MyMetallica16 THEY BROKE THE OATH!!!!

[HeartWithTheClassics]

i just found out 2 things

1. mercyful fate can rape my ears

2. my ears have a rape fetish

[kingrockrocking]

king diamond is so horrible. he sounds alright in the studio version, but like wat da hell is that high voice? its a freaking excuse of vocals. james hetfield sings king diamonds own songs better, not to mention da guitar is better too.

[bergAgreb]

@kingrockrocking I won't call you an idiot.

He just likes it, and i do too.

There are a lot of Singers who just prefer doing falsetto.

Also he doesn't do that all the time.

btw,

12 year old kid after 2 years of guitar playing > Kirk Hammett

its a fact

[skyrra]

You trendy bitch! Go listen to your commercial metal and fuck off!

[phailez]

@kingrockrocking James Hetfield can't sing for shit. He was good up until black album.

[BlazNnVA]

@phailez james hettfield cant sing, are u completely deaf in both ears

[biggy531]

@BlazNnVA Y THE FUCK R U HATIN JEEZ IF YOUR DEFENDIN MF DENBEFORE U HATE BETTER THINK ABOUT THE HUGE NUMBER OF PPL WHO LIKE METALLICA AND THE LESS NO. OF PPL WHO LISTEN TO MF, MF ARE GOOD AND SO ARE METALLICA, BOTH BANDS ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER AND THEY LIKE EACH OTHERS MUSIC

[BlazNnVA]
