im 100% sure that guy is somebody i know
Why is loving black metal controversial at all?
I was saying it wasn't. I was pointing out that I don't consider loving black metal or hating Kiss (who aren't even a metal band) to be controversial. As for hating King Diamond or loving Pantera, that could be controversial, or at least it wouldn't speak well for one's tastes.
I had no problem with his vox from the get-go. Halford prepped me I guess.

I dislike King Diamond's vocals because I dislike most metal singers who sing almost exclusively in mock operatic falsetto. It's not that he's a bad singer, but I dislike that vocal style.
King Diamond's vocals are bizarre. It stands to reason that people love them or hate them. Also I wouldn't say there's anything operatic about his falsetto.
