Black Rose with King Diamond-Locked Up in the Snow

[TrueAdam]

I dont care Cooper was his idol, his very first moments were way greater; prog. music was seemingly his true roots and you can tell by this very song. Also, when looking at things with some backward, you can tell it is true when listening to mercyful fate debuts.

[andrewmilios]

he sounds a lot like alice cooper here...

[otep67]

@andrewmilios Alice cooper is one of his biggest idols. one of the reason he got into the music business. and his make up idea was a mix of alice cooper and gene simons but gene tried to sue him so he had to change it.

[realdesertkickin]

Wow!! Never knew...

[Bassbait]

He sounds like a parody of this kind of vocals. Like Doctor Rockso from Metalocalypse. It's a GOOD thing he found Mercyful Fate, because this is honestly way too funny to make a career out of.

[otep67]

i have to listen to this song everyday the beat of it with the keyboard is stuck in my head all the time lol more than any song ive herd lmao

[Illersvansen]

They should remake this song.

[ZZombyWooff]

little bit of reverb, this recording wouldn't sound this bad.

[lugolugus]

BLACK ROSE IS PROOF KING D WAS MADE TO RAISE HELL.....HAIL TO THE KING THROW THSE HORNS UP HIGH AND HAIL THE KING OF METAL MANIACS

[Demonofdeath1231]

fucking awesome

[leftyzappa]

Very heavy Purple influence ;D

[socialgarbage2]

No matter what he does, or who he does it with, the King's music is ALWAYS timeless, and relevant. Just as heavy today as it was 30 years ago, and will be 30 years from now.

King Diamond Forever!!

Does anyone have Talisman's work uploaded?

[XevilmasterX]

The Hammond Sound is awesome!!

Long live the KING!!!!!

[xenorocker73]

Great, I'm a huge Fan of Diamond and Fate.Love the keyboards, you can hear the start of Diamond style music already.

[LORDHATE76]

He was great in this band.

[Simpson654]

Kim Bendix Petersen sounds like himself on this song, if you've heard any of his work you'll realise that. One of the greatest singers/songwriters of all time when it comes to horror metal.

[Simpson654]

good facts for a good song. One of the greatest pre-Mercyful Fate songs. I especially love the hammonds.

[ROBROSHI]

hi bro!!!!! first.... sorry, my english is very bad... so!!!!! black rose is not a diamond tribute it was his second band (talisman in 1973) black rose ( 1977-79 aprox) and then mercyfulfate in 80´s.... good song

[tygrathepirate]

@ROBROSHI I know Black Rose wasn't a tribute to King i just made this video as a tribute to him :D

[ROBROSHI]

[sirlovemehard]

@ROBROSHI You forgot about The Brats... X)

[theskullkid72]

love the keyboards but that just isnt the signature king diamond vocals

[tygrathepirate]

gotta start somewhere man :)

[cemmerick]

I hear it just everytime. This song is amazing. His vocals reminds me own singing when did start singing on a band.

[Diamondmaster93]

Love the start of this song

[tygrathepirate]

almost 3000 views..glad to see people like teh old shit :D

[eveningtsar]

The missing link between 70's Rock and 80s Metal. You can hear the transition here.

[alnka1974]

Oh My God ..For a moment when i first heard this i thought i was listining to an early era of Genesis, amazing stuff long live the King

[NatteUlver6]

Badass fukin song

[Surrection75]

love the song, best on the album

[Szederp]

It is a very musical piece

[caligula10]

what a song man!

[kosh1968]

fucking great album. i would have to say my favorite is holy mountain lights. i wish king would cover that one on his next project...

[tygrathepirate]

first time i heard Black Rose i was amazed..i mean after listening to Mercyful and of course king then listening to his roots..yah..gotta love it..im workin on a video fer their cover of Golden Earring's Radar Love..so be on teh look out fer it

[Simpson654]

This song kicks the devil's ass, I always wait for this from King Diamond, but I guess he doesn't have a hammond player. Without a hammond this would suck.

[fragkid4]

great song :)

[Surrection75]

Its a very good song

[Surrection75]
