KD is legend. Still the best show I've ever seen. Shit you may have been there even. It was at the pound with behemoth/nile onnn...May 7th, 2005? I think? I don't remember the date. But KD's live show > *

I wonder if you called him... would he pick up the phone with "King Diamond speaking" or with "Kim Bendix Petersen speaking"?

You have never heard Abigail, Fatal Portrait, Them, etc, etc???
Puppet Master was great, but his early work is stellar!

You HAVE to check out Abigail and Them.
The former is easily the best metal album ever released, to me anyway.
Everything about it, is simply magnificent. The vocals, the music, the guitars, bass, drums, occasional synths, the storytelling, the atmosphere. Everything worked together wonderfully.
Not to mention, the outro for The Black Horsemen is one of the best leads I have ever heard.
Michael Denner is a very underrated, and brilliant guitarist. That's why I'd also recommend Fatal Portrait. The music was kind of unfocussed, and King was still experimenting with his falsetto, but Michael does about 85% of the leads, and all the rhythm guitars.
Here's audio from Dressed In White, although someone put it to a video of some anime, unfortunately (the big guy kind of looks like King though)
I would actually place The Puppetmaster on his top 3 albums though.
The only King album I would stay away from, is Abigail II. There were a few good songs, but for the most part, that album was just bad
Mercyful Fate is also one of my favorite bands. Melissa and DBTO are nothing short of masterpieces, as well as In The Shadows. But I don't dislike anything they have put out.
Who could possibly not love Satan's Fall?
Seeing Mercyful Fate live is one of the things I have to do before I die, or at least to see King Diamond do Satan's Fall.
Force Of Evil is also worth checking out.

And from the best bootleg ever..
Doomed By The Living Dead, from the same bootleg
from 1986, Fatal Portrait tour
Evil, from the same bootleg
You're going to want to watch this. King goes into a coffin, and he is "burned" alive. Not sure which show this is from.
Cremation
From the Abigail tour, in Gothenburg (I'm not sure exactly, the bootleg I have is the one with James Hetfield's birthday)
Funeral/Arrival
EDIT: Too many videos, so I just linked some of them instead

Apostitutes!
I think its pretty much been scientifically proven that anyone who air guitars on a cross-microphone is badass.

Don't you ever get...
Force of Evil is pretty fucking great, though Steene does much better work in Iron Fire.
New King Diamond disappointed me quite a bit... but I have an entire back catalog (sans the bore-fest that was Graveyard) to give me my fill.

The Spider's Lullabye is a pretty underrated gem. From The Other Side is one of my favorite King songs. The Poltergeist (especially that part when he yells out "they feel it, and SCREAAAM", that always sends chills down my spine) and The Eastman's Cure as well.
But the whole album is really sweet.
