I'll hold my breath over this tour. I've never seen more people cancel more shows for being sick and ill than King Diamond

Not for being sick, but definitely another contender for most cancels is Paul Di'Anno.

 

[Mikey-Bong]

Speaking of cancellations, have you guys been following this shit with Jake E. Lee and Red Dragon Cartel?

Anyway, This shit is happening. I know for a fact King Diamond will not cancel the Chicago show because he knows I'll cry like a little bitch if he does.

 

[Social Distortion]

AAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh HELP ME!

 

[Thrashard925]

Last 2 or maybe even 3 times he canceled Vegas within 10 years, never seen him in Vegas. Trying to remember, but don't think I've ever seen King Diamond solo. Mercyful Fate 3x though.

Some weird stuff going on with Jake E Lee, one report compared it to Spinal Tap moment..lol.

King Diamond hasn't done a full blown US tour in years, so it's a treat for you guys! I saw him last year in Cz, he was headlining Metalfest in here - it was very good. Too bad I'm not going to make it to Wacken this year.

I'm really looking forward to this show. The Chicago show is sold out, as is the New York show.

Good for him he's still selling out the American venues.

In case you haven't been following, King just fired his bassist Hal Patino, and its getting ugly.

Hal's first comment, says "He Was Offered Ridiculous Salary":

King's response to Hal's "Extremely Insulting And Pathetic Lies":

Hal's responds with "(King Diamond is) A Tired, Bitter, Old Man":

This whole drama around Hal is getting really weird. It's a bummer, he's always been my favourite KD bass player. Both parties are pulling some weird shit.

 

[mrthrax]

Heard a lil over the years,are they power metal

 

[johnnieCzech]

Wouldn't say so, check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJH0eBtnbcs

I agree. I've always hated when band members fued like this. It's made being an Anthrax fan difficult at times. It's just immature and unnecessary.

 

[johnnieCzech]

Pontus Egberg (ex Hammerfall) is the replacement for the time being.

 

[Mikey-Bong]

Looks like 4 shows have sold out so far. Chicago tickets are on Stubhub for about $200. Glad I got mine as soon as they went on sale.

As far as I've read, the whole American tour is selling very well. Good for King!

Yeah, I'm glad to see it! I hope I get a chance to see him with Merciful Fate at some point too.

I don't like it either, but I don't like people getting fucked over even more. Just look at Greg Christian vs Testament.

Or Bill Ward in Sabbath, or Dave Lombardo in Slayer, the list goes on...
