Hi! Been jamming Fate and Diamond quite a bit lately. Curious to see what you pick.

Excellent!

Edwin Oslan:

I became a Mercyful Fate and King Diamond fan by more traditional means. My brother has In the Shadows on CD, and I popped it in, and I just thought it rocked. Then my friend bought Don't Break the Oath, and yeah, it kicked my ass! After that, I was off to the races on my MF and KD trip.
Avatar 3:10am
Bill Zebub:

It always strikes me as odd that people became fans from the later albums.
  3:14am
Edwin Oslan:

I dunno, man. I LOVE In the Shadows; right from the opener "Egypt." Me and my brother would giggle at the line, "the underworld is yours", because it sounds like "the underworld is your horse." Hey, you played "Is That You, Melissa?" from that album. It's a great pop-metal jam on an otherwise killer spooky riff-a-thon.

Shelley:

I hope to hear Return of the Vampire, which was the song that made me a fan. I'd heard a few others before, but that one did it for me. Also, there is a picture of Michael Jackson for the current track playing on the live stream website, which has me giggling.

This music inspires me to watch the film, The Devil Rides Out with Christopher Lee once again... Hammer films are the best

(I just bought that Bluray - Christopher Lee - no spoilers please)
  3:28am

And everyone needs to watch Captain Kronos Vampire Killer before they go to bed
  3:29am

Yes to the devil a daughter an awesome flick, and the one with the twins with Peter Cushing as the vampire teenager killer another great one...Twin of Evil

Good to see Christopher Lee and all the vampire love!

Edwin Oslan:

It still blows my mind that Dracula Has Risen from the Grave received a G rating.

Christopher Lee singing songs of the old West ....he was truly the Maverick, the renaissance man for all time

I got to make King back in 96... Under merciful Fate tour... He gave me one of his pentagram and upside down cross earrings... Unfortunately I was so proud of it I wore it to Carowinds and lost it on a roller coaster...

Mickey is playing on this Fate song

If somebody says they need me to play with a clck track, all I can do is to tell them in a Woody woodpecker laugh to f*** themselves

This is some great quality for live!

bconrad - the live quality will vastly improve as this show continues

Bill Zebub:

This is Mickey on drums again (playing the Fate song live)
  3:42am
Edwin Oslan:

Yeah, you can definitely hear his aggressive style which he took with him to Motorhead.
  3:43am
Shelley:

I was just thinking these drums are beating life into me. I didn't think I would be able to stay awake for the show tonight, yet I am wide awake now.
Avatar 3:43am
Bill Zebub:

For those tuning in now. King Diamond will be speaking in the next two hours. Mickey has the first hour.
Avatar 3:44am
Bill Zebub:

Shelley, I hope you last for RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE - it is a great performance and a soundboard recording.
  3:49am
Shelley:

I'll be here. My eyes are usually closed when I listen, but participating in the comments along with the music is keeping sleepiness at bay.
Avatar 3:50am
Bill Zebub:

I shall give you a taste of what you will soon hear, Shelley, next.
Avatar 3:57am
Bill Zebub:

Doh! Next song! And then you shall hear King Diamond speak.
  4:11am
Edwin Oslan:

Was "The Witch" ever officially released?
Avatar 4:12am
Bill Zebub:

No Edwin. Some riffs were put into other songs, like on the mini-LP.
Avatar 4:16am
Bill Zebub:

Edwin, the next song is for you!
Avatar 4:17am
Bill Zebub:

(A riff in THE WITCH was put into DOOMED BY THE LIVING DEAD)
  4:20am
Shelley:

I really liked The Witch. I loved the riff at the end. I hope they used that somewhere. I am glad we have it here, stored in archives to revisit. Black Funeral is also quite good, both versions...
Avatar 4:22am
Bill Zebub:

Shelley, I made this show so that there will be something for the true fans after I am gone, and after King is gone.
Avatar 4:24am
Bill Zebub:

Shelley, the next song is for you.
  4:27am
Shelley:

I was hesitant about an all Mercyful Fate/King Diamond show because I love the doom we usually hear, but this is better than I was expecting. That being said, I am not a true fan. But if I am not, you're sure as hell going to make me one.
Avatar 4:29am
Bill Zebub:

We shall break our hearts with doom next week
  4:32am
Shelley:

I always look forward to it.

I knew so little about Mercyful Fate despite the fact that I'm actually listening from Copenhagen. Thanks for the education.
Avatar 4:33am
Bill Zebub:

Fox Pox, welcome. I am trying to make this show one that shall outlive me.

Fox Pox:

I have sadly fallen into the trap of thinking of Copenhagen as a relative metal backwater, although I'm excited about some new bands here.

I have been curious about Denmarks, but Swedes warn me never to go there, ha ha.

Prepare yourself. Some ultra rare music is next.

This has been very entertaining and educational. I am enjoying his answers to your questions and his jokes. Thank you for these moments between the songs.

Thank you for tuning in, especially those who will hear this as an archive. Remember what I have done for you. And I swear that i shall beg King to provide some of this music. If not, you have it here.

i have tuned in

Mike:

I turned on WFMU thinking I was going to get the pidge and instead got early Fate! It was like I was back in the Bay Area in 83 listening to Rampage Radio on KUSF!
  6:26pm
Sabasius Mazziqim:

Cheers Bill Zebub thanks a ton for this. Lots of rare goodies on here, nice to hear another "The Witch" that I wasn't aware of. There is one I uploaded on Youtube that was basically a really early version of "Melissa". I can't remember the bootleg I got it from but I think it was an early '82 Copenhagen show you would probably know the one.

Wonderful MF & KD show sir.
