I would love to be an old man now if it meant that I could have lived through this crazy shit, I was born to rock and it seems I missed the heyday. Just look... the band is practically fighting off the crowd themselves... now that is metal. \m/ long live the rock \m/
Ah the glory days of metal. I'd give anything to go back to the 80's. This is how the shows were and how they should still be today. The music would start and everyone would go fucking crazy...not everyone STANDING around watching the bands like they do now. Seen Diamond several times, from late 86' to just a couple years ago, and he's kicked ass every single time. ALL HAIL KING DIAMOND!!! \m/ \m/
thanks for sharing badass vid. King was on top and metallica was not yet sueing everone for downloads and obviously enjoyed the music still. I love old metallica and all king. GOOD VID. THANKS!!!
Fuck!! This is SO fucking heavy!!! King Diamond really slays, man! Been watching this video since like 10 years ago & still believe this was/is one of the heaviest & phenomenal metal gig out there! Might be the best!
I was at this show. August 3, 1987 at The Stone in San Francisco. The opening band was Trouble. As for where is James. He appears for a few seconds on the right side of the stage at 2:27. No Jason at the show.
you can find that kind of crowd-right-at-stage-and-sometimes-on-stage in small clubs even today. of course the bands that play in those small clubs are not that famous, but often you will be surprised what good stuff there is in the world of rockmusic, especially metal.
Man. Thats so friggin coool. King rules! My dad actually met Mikkey Dee. That guy was like a giant. He was tall as hell. The show my dad saw him at was cancelled because of some kind of problem with the sound and king couldnt sing idk, but he asked my dad to sing some king diamond for him and he was like "daaamn. we might just get you to take kings place. " hahaha XD.
This is a fucking ACE video- not only is it King Diamond- but it shows Metallica in Fan Mode having a ball. Kirk is having a great time- great to see & brilliant post - Thanks
Wraith6669able i agree with you, everytime i see a video of a concert i always see a lot of people standing there with their phones and cameras to record and take pictures, i mean come on, you pay a ticket to have fun ! thats the way its supose to be right ? :)
It was definitely in SF I have a video with King Diamond at the same place and the video says SF and the same bouncer is there and the stage is the same also.
Both King and Lars is grown up in the same city in Denmark.... The city of Copenhagen... King was from a sub called Hvidovre and Lars was from a sub called Hellerup...
and that day james instantly became the most popular of his friends
This is probably the coolest birthday ever caught on tape!
Metallica and King Diamond on same Stage, fucking cool man! One of the memorable moment of music history ever!!!
Hell yeah!!! King and Metallica? Awesome!!!!!
Love the Acapella vocals from king. The Vibrato and falsetto were perfect!
