King Diamond, Motorhead and now Scorpions. All three are incredible in their own right. Mikkey is massive. I'm sure that he's played in other great bands as well.

played also on Don Dokken's Up from the ashes, great album

Mikey Dee is incredible - especially on the Abigale album and tour. That band was extremely tight and always right on the money. Always great hearing MD talk - a world class man for sure.

I briefly met and spoke with Mikkey after a King Diamond show during their Them tour, in Pittsburgh, PA. Very approachable, friendly and down to earth guy. We spoke for about 10-15 seconds before a group of 4 or 5 female fans stated fawning all over him and he just shrugged his shoulders and looked at me like "Hey, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do!" I'll always remember that.

Fake story. Women don't like King Diamond, not metal at all.

Earth has been here for millions of years, we are all blessed to have lived here the same time as Mikkey!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The Abigail album without Mikkey´s drumming would not have scored that big. It was so brilliant and original.

Great drummer, great bands.

I went to see Motorhead in 1987 in a skating rink in Germany. King Diamond and Destruction opened , Abaigail tour. What a great band they were.!!

Absolute living legend and supremely nice guy. I met him in Vancouver c. 2004 when Motörhead played the commodore ballroom. I love his INCREDIBLE drumming in King Diamond and Motörhead.

I was asked to go pick up Lemmy and Phil at a bar where they were playing pool. Amazingly down to earth guys. Just saw Mikkey very briefly to say "Hi" just before they went on.

Mikkey Dee is a monster of a drummer. He had the stripes and more in 1986 if he wanted to join Motorhead. Luckily he didn't join and stayed with King and made awesome music!

Mickey. Is a total class act. Period!!!! We were treated like old friends when we met him and the rest of king d band. We were young pups it was the them tour

Yes you were and are Mikkey. Great respect for you sir!

Dont forgrt Mikki Dee's 1990 Up from the Ashes... What a fantastic album start to finish. Fantastic drummer

Went and saw the Scorpions in 2017, I knew it wasn't Herman on drums by appearance, went to get a beer and came back at the beginning of what was the start of a drum solo, which I have seen the Scorpions many times and never recalled a drum solo. Being a fan of Alex Van Halen, Mastodon, Rush, Slayer, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Steve Smith etc..I was like ok Scorpions drummer is doing a drum solo, about a couple of minutes in, I'm thinking to myself who the hell is this guy, because I'm asking myself, "is this one of the best live drum solos I've seen?". I had to look up who the drummer was and saw that it was Mikkey Dee. Then I see that he had played in Motorhead, and I remembered them opening for Dio and Iron Maiden years ago, and I had a similar memory during Mikkey's drum solo in Motohead. Fantastic rock drummer, as solid and good as they come.

I could listen to him talk all day.

I saw Motorhead when he was in that band in February 1994 at the State Theater in Detroit MI. When Morbid Angel & Motorhead opened up for Black Sabbath on their Cross Purposes tour with the Tony Iommi-Geezer Butler-Tony Martin-Bobby Rondinelli line-up. The main reason I went to the concert was to see Black Sabbath since I wasn't really a Morbid Angel or Motorhead fan It was in such a small narrow concert hall though that it was by far the loudest concert I've ever been to. And the view of the stage was great for the same reason. I saw Black Sabbath (or "Heaven & Hell") as they were calling the band only one other time, in March 2006 at the John Labatt arena in London, Ontario Canada with the Iommi-Butler-Dio-Appice line-up with Down & Megadeth as opening bands. Unfortunately it was in such a huge arena this time the sound and view of the stage wasn't even close to as good as the 1994 concert in Detroit. At the 1994 Detroit concert it was so loud I could hardly hear anything for 3 days afterward, and it's still my favorite concert of all time even to this day.

I seen Mickey three times with King Diamond in Detroit. One of the best live drummers ever.

I seen Motorhead at the Olympic Auditorium in LA. The floor there is REAL hard. Lemmy wanted to kick the whole acrowd's ass's because of the extreeme amount of fluid hockers that were presented to the performers. Ya needed an umbrella. The show was great but I don't remember much because you had to watch your back because of the ruckis. What a wonderful night.

Best comment I’ve seen all day 😂

Mikkey is a great drummer and a nice bloke, met him a couple of times during the years since we both lives i Gothenburg, Sweden, We also grew up in the same neigbourhood. He's older than me so we did not hang out . Saw him play when he was around 18, in a local band, . They actually put out a single in the early 80ies and did som touring. Mikkey loves to talk about himself, but thats the meaning here I guess...

Would of rock motorhead and king tour

So Mikki got bored not playing creatively so he joins Motorhead?

King Diamond is more complicated musically but 'as good as' is a matter of opinion. I love almost everything from King/Mercyful Fate and motörhead.

As A drummer my self I loved Mikkey Dees playing and King Diamond in the late 80s early 90s. About 2003 I saw him live in Karlstad Sweden with E-type, eurodisco you know... Met him in the bar afer the gig and I said to him "You were great in King Diamond". He just glanzed at me and responded; " I didn't think so".

your drumming at king diamond was the best.Denying your prime as a drummer is pathetic!

The Scorpions became a sh..band until Mikkey gave them a kick in the a.. listen to their latest album and you will agree
