Mikkey Dee! One of my fav drummers of all time. I met him backstage after a Motörhead gig a few years ago in Copenhagen. I told him I played drums and that he was my fav drummer. He took my hands, closed his eyes and said: 'Yes... You have drummer's hands!' Awesome guy and an absolute legend. RIP Lemmy \m/
Hope everyone tip their imaginary hats to Svante Henrysson on Metal Cello. Yngwie’s old bass player, who is an celebrated classical and jazz cellist in Sweden nowadays.
Ironically, I recently read where Malmsteen said Metallica are great, except Kirk can't play guitar for shit. I guess he'd be a fairly reliable judge on guitar playing ability. Kirk does kinda just play a few simple arpeggios over and over again quickly. Sounds cool but would be boring to a real guitar player like Malmsteen I suppose. I enjoy it myself but apparently Yngwie has more refined guitar taste.
Mickey Dee is an animal on drums, and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I was having a chat with him after a show, and these girls were trying to get him to leave, but he stuck around for about half an hour as we talked music. Pure class, no ego whatsoever, and doing what he loves to do. He would do it for free......
Mikkey Dee is amazing! His drumming in King Diamond is some of the best to come by, ever. Such creativity and unique playingstyle is rare to find in any band.
I have to agree completely! I was really disappointed when Mikkey left King Diamond. What an amazing lineup throughout fatal portrait, Abigail, them and conspiracy. Saw them in concert on numerous occasions and was blown away every time. The musicianship was top notch! Not much of that around these days!
Jaytothe M I can only imagine how epic it must've been to see them back then. It seemed like King always made sure to choose the best musicians possible, and that really gave the band some personality. Mikkey never reached that level of drumming after hr left...
Michael Holmgaard That’s true. Them and Conspiracy are one of the biggest reasons I started to play drums. Conspiracy is my favorite King Diamond album. The best lineup also! I saw the band live on Conspiracy tour, and was really disappointed because I knew, that Mikkey Dee had left the band, and only played on the record. Snowy Shaw was really good though.
Great version! The only thing I don't understand (which doesn't mean that I don't like it) is why they do the intro (the snare hits) in 4/4 instead on 3/4. But I guess it's on purpose, as Mikkey does the same thing on the Motörhead cover.
I like how Metallica is always “blown away” by what people do with their music like it’s so difficult to play or outstanding lol Mikkey played with fucking King Diamond and Motörhead for fuck sakes... It’s just like when Rob auditioned to play bass and they were like “wow couldn’t believe how quickly he picked up our songs and how fast his fingers were!” When he had played with Suicidal Tendencies before where he played some seriously fast songs.. like come on guys
+ 10 for shocking the fine culture with some working class action! The cello doesn't work for me personally, but still, kudos for trying something different!
It's funny because you're watching somebody do a cover song and you did a cover joke... the only difference is your joke has been covered a hundred and thirty thousand times by much better people then you
Unka Truk if you've ever been on any Metallica videos or tribute videos you know how lame and tired this comment is. While you might find it to be a Super Fresh original comment... when you've heard a bunch of fat basement-dwelling losers make that comment six thousand times. Keep your dad jokes for your kids. You guys sound like the douchebags when you see a beer delivery truck you say "oh you can load that right into my car" Or did you get a hair cut? No I got em all cut... It's not that I care that much about Lars it's how embarrassed I am for you f****** retards that think you're funny repeating old ass jokes. Bunch of f****** video game nerds when a comment on rock music. Judging by both of your TH-cam pages you know about as much about music as you know about having sex with girls.. zero... I just thought somebody should let you copycat unoriginal TH-cam commenters know how you look to normal folk. And I'd be willing to bet that this little fella here has made this comment on a number of videos before. So yeah... it's cool to make jokes at Lars expense or whoever's expense but maybe just maybe try to come up with something halfway original and not so predictable
peoplevsradio317 ...rant much? Strangers' YooToobs pages turn you on? Does it make you feel... powerful? Your opinion of me, means squadoosh. You're a sociopath. Sea Kelp
I mean this Country fiddle style Cello playing is like mixing Country with Metal and Rock . This song sounds much better with an actual Rock singer slowing the tempo down a little singing the lyrics a lot more clear , and engaging as well . 🤔🙄😍⚡🌠⭐🌟💫💥🔥🙉🙈😏😎🌈🌋🤗🤑
Lars is so jealous of how much a better drummer Mikkey is !!!! I have seen him play when he was with King Diamond at the Ritz theater in Austin Texas in the 80's. He was as Phenomenal then as he is now. Suck it Lars!!!!
And now you all now where the muppet show got the inspiration to the drummer animal. I wonder who was the real king that evening Karl-Gustav or Mikkey Dee?
Thrash metal is the "punk" of metal and the "I don't give a shit, fuck you!"-kind of attitude is an aspect which you need to learn to enjoy. All music in the world is wonderful and hope to see some new surprising and innovative music scenes soon.
I always have to laugh when I see Princess Victoria in these videos. Independent from the music style, the singer and most of all the quality of a song she‘s doing Royal Headbanging. Wanna laugh?! Then watch the paindistorted face of Sting and simultaneously headbanging Victoria when José Feliciano sings Every breath you take. 😄
Lars all the time: God, how can we surge this guy's face so he looks exactly like me and I can retire without people thinking i quit? I mean, they surged Billy Shears and now everyone thinks he's Paul McCartney, my face is not that complicated.
As Mickey Dee himself once said, it's better to be underrated than overrated. Awesome heavy drummer
he's one of the best, agree
Mikkey Dee! One of my fav drummers of all time. I met him backstage after a Motörhead gig a few years ago in Copenhagen. I told him I played drums and that he was my fav drummer. He took my hands, closed his eyes and said: 'Yes... You have drummer's hands!' Awesome guy and an absolute legend. RIP Lemmy \m/
"The best drummer in the world" as Lemmy used to say.
Hope everyone tip their imaginary hats to Svante Henrysson on Metal Cello.
Yngwie’s old bass player, who is an celebrated classical and jazz cellist in Sweden nowadays.
How can less be more?
More is more, always have been.
Morten Øgård 😂🤣😂 yingwie was right! How is less more? More is more!
Mattias Jansson
Just ripping off Apocalyptica 😁

Mikkey Dee is easily in the top 10 best drummers in the world.

Michael Holmgaard Agreed and my favorite metal drumming ever actually!
I have to agree completely! I was really disappointed when Mikkey left King Diamond. What an amazing lineup throughout fatal portrait, Abigail, them and conspiracy.

Michael Holmgaard
That’s true. Them and Conspiracy are
one of the biggest reasons I started to
play drums. Conspiracy is my favorite
King Diamond album. The best lineup
also!
I saw the band live on Conspiracy tour,
and was really disappointed because I
knew, that Mikkey Dee had left the band,
and only played on the record.
Snowy Shaw was really good though.
Lyxzen playing for the king.. who would have thought that back in the 90s..
Sell out :) KIDDING, Lyxzen is the KING !
At 3:06 Lars was like damn I wish I can play the drums like that
haha
3:14 wife telling him "I wish you played drums like that"
02:32
The King of Sweden laugh his ass off. What a king. HHHHH
Your not the King for nothing! :)
@Kayden Jaden nice fucking try ya bots lmao
I suspect there's a part of Dennis that would love nothing more than to flip those tables and walk out
This is a great showcase of how really tight drumming can make a song fly.
I have been a fan of Mikkey Dee since 84 , every band he plays with makes it worth Hearing , made Motorhead Heavier i would say ,,, RIP Lemmy ....
great drummer so much talent
His work on KD's Abigail is some of my favorite!!!
he simply rocked his ass off, on that one helloween album with them
remember - Mr Dee is a 'Motorhead' !
Glad he is with the scorpions!!!
I think its the best version ever..wow, amazing.
Dammit Mikkey Dee is AMAZING on everything he does.
Mikkey dee is totally baddasery at its finest ❤
How far Metallica has come. A room full of rich people and royal swedish family. Whiprich!
Yeah, one miss THE days of Cliff Em All. Today Metallica is culture for THE rich 😱
Whipritch,,, i die 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fuckin brilljant 👌
Mikkey and Svante were awesome but gotta give it to Dennis, the guy is a real showman.
Awesome. MD:s dense rhythm is what have allways been best in metal music.
Absolutely
No doubt
God Bless Mikkey Dee
That cello or bass is giving me cliff burton vibes 🤘🏻
That was sooo sick! Awesome cover!
Mickey Dee is one of my favorite drummers ever.
Så jäkla grymt! Som en käftsmäll!!
That looks to be a pretty corporate crowd for Dennis Lyxzén... Great work by the way.
That’s how it’s played Lars
The swedish king is in the audience!
The queen doesn't look too amused, though...
merqury5 when?
1:56-1:58, 2:07-2:10
Yeh, i thought that was him
The King is behind the drums
Trujillo was dreaming during the performance of having a drummer like this in the band lol
true lol
Mikkey Dee killed it!
Mickey Dee is one of the best drummers on the planet in the metal genre
funny seeing Metallica fans hatin on a tribute cover for a prize ceremony on one of their songs like its some competition which version is better lmao
I mean...it does suck but its cool they paid tribute
Great version! The only thing I don't understand (which doesn't mean that I don't like it) is why they do the intro (the snare hits) in 4/4 instead on 3/4. But I guess it's on purpose, as Mikkey does the same thing on the Motörhead cover.
Mikkey Dee is a beast on the drums
Fantastic cover and even better presence
Mickey Dee is quite possibly the best drummer in history
No question!
definitely one of them
Holy shit, that's awesome!
multiestonian no
multiestonian thats really awsome.
Dennis looks like Per Gessle, especially in the thumbnail.
Lemmy said mickey dee best drummer of the world so we all agreed .indeed no doubt about Mickey
The Swedish king is the grey-haired man at 2:33, lookin' contempt in the company of some young women.
THIS IS INSANE
I like how Metallica is always “blown away” by what people do with their music like it’s so difficult to play or outstanding lol Mikkey played with fucking King Diamond and Motörhead for fuck sakes... It’s just like when Rob auditioned to play bass and they were like “wow couldn’t believe how quickly he picked up our songs and how fast his fingers were!” When he had played with Suicidal Tendencies before where he played some seriously fast songs.. like come on guys
my fav energic metal drummer mr. mikkey dee
+ 10 for shocking the fine culture with some working class action! The cello doesn't work for me personally, but still, kudos for trying something different!
So Lars and Robert being there means that Metallica is blown away? Nope.
Maybe they werent blown away but it was a hell of great performance
Rather Motörhead style than Metallica. Mötorhead also covered it on a tribute album long time ago.
wow that was terrific perfomance
Lars taking notes on how to properly play his own song
lars ulrich reaction to mikkey dee playing is like damn I wonder if he gives lessons.
Superb cover! Infinite claps for them
Lars got to see what a real drummer is like.
It's funny because you're watching somebody do a cover song and you did a cover joke... the only difference is your joke has been covered a hundred and thirty thousand times by much better people then you
peoplevsradio317 hahahaha ...wow
Somebody got their e-feelings hurt.
_...how much is Lars paying you?_
Unka Truk if you've ever been on any Metallica videos or tribute videos you know how lame and tired this comment is.
While you might find it to be a Super Fresh original comment... when you've heard a bunch of fat basement-dwelling losers make that comment six thousand times.
Keep your dad jokes for your kids.
You guys sound like the douchebags when you see a beer delivery truck you say "oh you can load that right into my car"
Or did you get a hair cut?
No I got em all cut...

peoplevsradio317 ...rant much?
Strangers' YooToobs pages turn you on?
Does it make you feel... powerful?
Your opinion of me, means squadoosh.
You're a sociopath. Sea Kelp
He is sitting on multi-millions and you sit on a broken moped. Loser.
Mickey Dee is one of the all time greats.
Met Mikkey Dee walking down the street before a show in Auckland New Zealand, nice guy
That mic catch tho 1:08
This scerne is totally surreal. Lol gentle headbanging from some of them in their tables.
great tune, perfect cover
Wasn't Svante also Bassplayer with Yngwie when Göran Edman was singer? I remember him also playing Cello....
This is so good
Awesome! Mikkey Dee is sooo good 🤘💯
I love the KIngs look
That was sick! 🤘🤘🤘🤘Awesome
Look Lars that's how you should play the drums!!!
Not my tempo.
I mean this Country fiddle style Cello playing is like mixing Country with Metal and Rock . This song sounds much better with an actual Rock singer slowing the tempo down a little singing the lyrics a lot more clear , and engaging as well . 🤔🙄😍⚡🌠⭐🌟💫💥🔥🙉🙈😏😎🌈🌋🤗🤑
Mikkey Dee is such a fucking beast ❤
Lars is so jealous of how much a better drummer Mikkey is !!!! I have seen him play when he was with King Diamond at the Ritz theater in Austin Texas in the 80's. He was as Phenomenal then as he is now. Suck it Lars!!!!
Different, I like the sound.
See Lars? That's how proper drummers do it...
Mikkey dee is the the best drummer ever 😊
Oh my God that was awesome on so many levels
fucking amazing!
That was fucking awesome
i like the singer!
I suggest you to listen to Refused, INVSN and The (International) noise conspiracy. : )
Mikkey-SCORPIONS!!!
Help me out. I feel I should know who those 3 guys are but I don’t. Who r they?
And now you all now where the muppet show got the inspiration to the drummer animal. I wonder who was the real king that evening Karl-Gustav or Mikkey Dee?
Some off key moments (vocals) but great idea and style, nonetheless.
Thrash metal is the "punk" of metal and the "I don't give a shit, fuck you!"-kind of attitude is an aspect which you need to learn to enjoy. All music in the world is wonderful and hope to see some new surprising and innovative music scenes soon.
Lol Dennis dose that. Refused cover of Live wire was hallariuslly horrible.
That cello sounds so low and dirty. Would've loved a violin or a few in harmony and a technically skilled violinist would've shred that solo.
1.25x speed is the right way to play this song
There’s something very deadwood about this performance that just fuckkking kills it ! So Fuckkking Sickkk !
This is so good.
Helvete alltså, kongen får alltid gå på de tyngsta festerna! ;))
3:06 it says it all
So good, Love it😎
Älskar att våran kung sitter o diggar 😀
Where is James and Kirk?
they got blown away. its in the title. rob was too heavy and lars hid under a bridge.
Where is Mickey Rourke?
I think Metallica are at that age where all they want to do is go home early, garden, do their crosswords and be in bed around 8:30.
Gillar alltid hårdrock inför konugen.
The drums would give satan a migraine.... amazing
Es como el concierto de The Who en Nuevo Springfield, todos sentados.
Lars Ulrich is starting to look like Rudy Giuliani in a few of those face shots
Mikkey is a complete drumming bad ass! Always has been! I can live without the cello substitute for guitar.
1:52 oh that's how it should sound
MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lars wishes he could play half that good he knows who Mikkey is.....
I always have to laugh when I see Princess Victoria in these videos. Independent from the music style, the singer and most of all the quality of a song she‘s doing Royal Headbanging. Wanna laugh?! Then watch the paindistorted face of Sting and simultaneously headbanging Victoria when José Feliciano sings Every breath you take. 😄
Is that James Kottak from Scorpions?
Lars all the time: God, how can we surge this guy's face so he looks exactly like me and I can retire without people thinking i quit? I mean, they surged Billy Shears and now everyone thinks he's Paul McCartney, my face is not that complicated.
cool!Merci
So amazing!
