King Diamond Father Picard Full Band Cover

Thank you Brian, Sergio and Yoshi. I remember sitting back as a teenager wishing I could sound or play like KD. To be able to cover them with a full band is truly a Dream Come true. King Diamond isn't the type of band you just cover like so many other bands that people cover, KD is a very special and talented band who were ahead of their time by far.

I really love how this turned out! Amazing and probably one of the best covers on youtube!

Like Brian said a few hours, though it was over a few days period, just not straight, So it added up to a few hours. The way Brian and I have been working together over the past year and a half is, no matter if Brian is doing the mixing/mastering or I am. We both take in the others input and make changes to the mix from the others input. Each time we have done that, used both our set's of ears/idea's, things have turned out fantastic so we find that works best for us.

@ashasha3, thank you so much! I spent a few hours getting that mix up to par :)

[ashasha3]

Damn that was fun to watch. But the other thing that really stood out was how great the mix was; everything sat in the mix perfectly!

Ya'll did a KD tune. I am a fan!!

[c4sb2008]

this so kicks ass!

[MetalSlab]

That was KING!!!

[azacamis]

Getting it accurate is not as important as being anal about keeping to the timing. You guys nailed it

[mikeleuz]

Absolutely epic - great job! 

[jerotas]

This is Brian (sang this song in the video). Gear I used - Oktava MK-319 microphone, Audient Mico preamp and lots and lots of rehearsing this song :) King is HARD to do justice to. I throroughly enjoyed making the video!!! Thanks Joe for agreeing to a KD song, this has always been my dream as well! Thank you everyone for the praise. Hopefully we can do another more classic KD song later on.
