time to talk King Diamond now

Spider's Lullaby.

Had to break that one out today in honor of this thread.

And ya wonder why some people think metal is a joke.

Not a King Diamond fan Sax?

Gene Simmons has hacked into Unc Sax's account again.

aside from UncleSaxon, i'm probably the biggest King Diamond fan here (i just don't dress up like KD like Sax does). fave albums are The Eye & House of God.

i still prefer his Mercyful Fate stuff though.

You are wrong... I'm the biggest King Diamond fan here! and I challenge you!
I'm probably one of the few people brave enough to put Mercyful Fate and King Diamond stickers on their car. I've only seen 1 other person so far.

OK, we need to have a contest to see who can sing "Welcome Home" the best and only that will determine who is the greatest KD fan of them all.

TOB, are you a King Diamond fan?


Phoenix, AWESOME you have King stickers on your car dude!!! I can dig that!!!

Yeah, I love MF and KD. Not every song. Not every album. But a lot of it.

And remember in my controversial thread that I said Andy LaRoque is the best lead guitarist in all of metal history.

Andy LaRoque is indeed very good. One of my faves as well!

eh...hem....me, me, me, me, meeee...... GRAAAAAAAAAAAANDMAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'll chime in and say I'm a big King Diamond fan. Sure,his voice may be a bit of an acquired taste but it is one of the coolest voices in metal. All his albums (including the Mercyful Fate catalog) are great but I lean toward Voodoo as my favorite solo and Don't Break the Oath as my fave M.F. (a true classic)

I really liked "Melissa" and "Don't Break The Oath" when they hit the streets, but never really checked out anything either Merciful Fate or King Diamond did afterwards.

There is way too much other stuff to buy I guess ?

damn man your missing out.

When I get caught up on some other bands perhaps I'll scope out what was missed.

I don't think the Mercyful Fate reunion discs are any good at all. As for King Diamond, I only know the first three albums well.

I love "In the Shadows". It's my favorite MF album.

Well, after this discussion here about King Diamond, I realized I needed to fill some holes in my KD collection, so I just bought these from Amazon:

King Diamond - Fatal Portrait

King Diamond - Abigail


I've been missing these for years and am happy to finally get them!!!

I love those albums. Two of the best heavy metal albums ever if you ask me. They don't quite reach the greatness of early Mercyful Fate, but then again there aren't many bands that do, haha.

I own "Don't Break The Oath" by Mercyful Fate, and "Abigail" and "Give Me Your Soul Please" by KD. I like all three of them. I guess like James, I am missing out. Looks like more additions to my long wantlist.

I feel the same way
