YouTube Tribute To KING DIAMOND Gets Singer's Stamp Of Approval

June 26, 2008

King Diamond has commented on a popular YouTube clip of two suburban Tennessee teenagers driving around in their car singing along to the classic 1988 KING DIAMOND track "Welcome Home". The video, which can be seen below, has gotten more than 15,000 views since it was originally posted a year ago.

In a statement released to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, King Diamond, who saw the clip for the first time earlier this week, said, "OH MY GOD!!!! That just blew me away!!!! Absolutely 200% AWESOME! I [have always said that] we have the best fans in the world! It's so hilarious and at the same time it really makes me feel so honored seeing the level of dedication and how much our fans get out of our music!!"

"Welcome Home" is featured on the third KING DIAMOND album "Them", which was released in 1988 via Roadrunner Records. The song features prominently in the 2006 movie "Clerks II", serving as the de facto theme song for Jay and Silent Bob on a number of occasions. The song also has a music video (see below),which features King Diamond as a young boy in his old house welcoming his grandmother home from the asylum.
