King Diamond is the shit!!!!!!

[NFU]

Been a fan ever since I heard the first notes of "Gypsy" years ago. I definately prefer Mercyful Fate to his solo work though.

[Abhorsen]

My first King record was Them and I still think it an amazing work. Different from MF in some respects but still essential, as is Abigail.

 

[Hypnos]

i feel sorry for the people who don't appreciate the King. i'd still prefer hij than 99% of te poor metal output nowadays

@ NFU you have some fine taste, but you're wrong about Orphaned Land. this band is simply brilliant. i think they hold the flag of quality among these few like Enslaved, Madder Mortem, Katatonia or Primordial...(or the sadly departed In The Woods...)

orphaned land really is sincerely overrated and nothing groundbreaking

 

[NFU]

orphaned land isnt "terrible". theyre just sincerely overrated and nothing groundbreaking (which is what the fans would have you beleive)...which is my problem with them. no doubt theyre fairly talented musicians, they just havent written a note i could give a shit about.

 

[Pethical]

perhaps a few more spins of mabool are in order?

 

[illidurit]

stfu orphaned land is crap

not for me. the material is lame. besides neo melodeath rubbish isnt my cup of tea anyway.

 

[DEMIgOD]

could someone recommend me the best Madder Mortem album? (i needed a thread to post it, so this one works)

Get ''Deadlands'' first, the rest is excellent too.

King puts on a killer live show, the new album is almost complete. I wonder what the King has in store for us this time??? Andy Larocque is a killer guitarist! I can't wait to see the King again!

 

[Superior]

King Diamond is fucking great. I could understand how you might not enjoy his voice, but calling him a bad singer? I hate James LaBrie with a passion but I'll admit the man can carry a tune, but KD has something LaBrie never will, and thats one of the most distinct voices in metal ever.

That and Larocque also has an incredible distinct tone and style.

 

[Frosties]

Distinct =! Good

 

[illidurit]

go listen to woods of ypres

 

[Frosties]

Go resize your sig

 

[NFU]

lol at someone bashing king, then listening to woods of ypres. absolute travesty.

 

[:Wreath:]

King Diamond sounds like a raped cat

But they had a few decent songs I guess...

I've never in my entire life heard a raped cat come anywhere close to hitting the high notes KD can.

And by few decent songs you meant a few classic albums.

Personally i think orphaned land, Woods of Ypres are wank. At least i can 'rock out' to king diamond, and it makes me happy because the vocals make me laugh.

How anyone can listen to King Diamond with a straight face is beyond me.
