Controversial opinions on metal

[Life Sucks]

King's vocals are very distinctive; far from typical clean metal vocals, even far from typical power metal/falsetto clean vocals. They are definitely the kind of vocals that take time to get used to. Maybe I need to listen to a lot more KD/MF and eventually they would click with me.

 

[Ross]

yeh you should. you will grow to like them, trust me

 

[Lord Kur]

i actually hated them about 24 years ago when i first heard them

now i wish i could only share them with myself

mercyful fate is for the old school

fuck everyone else

I'm developing a tolerance to his vocals.
Gypsy is a fucking masterpiece, btw.

 

[Mort Divine]

There is no need to "tolerate" his vocals, you fucking listen to them and you enjoy it or you die!

 

[Life Sucks]

He's probably one of those vocalists that takes a few listens to get into. It took me a while to get used to Alan Averil's vocals, and now I think he's a great vocalist, and Primordial is one of my favorite bands. It also took me a while to get used to Bruce Dickinson's vocals.

 

[waif]

Bruce Dickinson?
what?

 

[General Zaroff]

I need to buy me some MF/KD.

His vocals are laughable at times but awesome imo.

 

[Zephyrus]

KD is just god-damned fun and talented, and his vox fits the music perfectly.

 

[Black Friday]

Bruce Dickinson?
what?

His vocal melodies can be downright painful to listen to.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

King Diamond is fucking metal as fuck.
If his scream at the end of Corpse Without Soul doesn't give you a metal orgasm then... well I dunno... you just suck.

 

[UltraMetalFan]

Metal....for flaming homosexuals?

 

[Satanstoenail]

Am I the only one who caught this?

no

 

[Omni]

Metal....for flaming homosexuals?

No, metal is not for you. Sorry.

 

[steve.h]

I desperately scoured the internet for some indication or proof that King Diamond's vocals were some elaborate joke... unfortunately, I came up blank.

Fuck you all, his vocals are retarded. It sounds like Toki Wartooth doing power metal vocals.

 

[Black Friday]

It's pretty much a given that his vocals are a joke,whether they're meant to be serious or not. I enjoy them because they're so ridiculous.

 

[Lord Kur]

i don't think it's a fucking given that his vocals are a joke. come on, now!

of course they are meant to be serious. king could be a friggen opera singer

 

[UltraMetalFan]

No, metal is not for you. Sorry.

Aw, come on!

I love My Chemical Romance ! You can't tell me metal isn't for me.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Gypsy is a fucking masterpiece, btw.

Yes, it is.

Also, UltraMetalFan is a homo.

 

[XSASweet]

Aw, come on!

I love My Chemical Romance ! You can't tell me metal isn't for me.

well I can't argue with that.
