No shit? Wow, out of all the stuff I used to jam at level 11 in my room as a kid, Mercyful Fate was the one that would send dear old mom into my bedroom screaming, "WTF is this noise?? WHY does that guy have to sing like that???" I'd be down for it, maybe.
How can anyone not love kind diamond and his vocal style? Not only can that dude hit every range possible, but each album is so planned out and precise that he tells a story that continues with every song. Personally, i dig his "solo" shite. "Them" is probably my favorite album!
NO SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Melissa is still one of my favorite metal albums, oh man I hope they play near me if this is for real. As far as the Kings voice, I hated it at first but really loved the guitars and lyrics, than they kinda grew on me. Now I don't know how someone CAN'T like King Diamond.
OH HELLS YEAH! Melissa is a GREAT album. I used to get wasted and listen to Abigail in the dark, just creepy and awesome!
I lost allot of respect for King Daimond when he did that damn Christmas record.....metal + X-mas=1 less fan!
I saw him play live whenever "Them" was released, whatever year that was...? he rolled grandma out on stage in a rickety old wheelchair and it was a total riot to say the least...!!!
