KING DIAMOND/MERCYFUL FATE! \m/
He IS the King of all things Metal. Period! He has to have the most consistent Record output of any metal band i've ever heard, sometimes he even put out 2 albums a year, No one has had more killer riffs than KING DIAMOND and his band...And unlike other bands with alot of albums not one of his were shitty IMO.ANDY LA ROCQUE IS A PHENOMENAL GUITAR PLAYER and He is very underrated and deserves alot more credit then he gets. King and MF Helped Start Black Metal and in my opinion MERCYFUL FATE is far more essential to the development of that Genre Than Venom or Bathory ever could hope to be (not saying that they suck on any level). And when you listen to king in his solo career you dont just get the best friggin metal on the planet you also get a horror story...It's so much fun to get into when your headbangin'
Lets Face it there's only one king and it isn't Elvis...
He's up for a grammy in 2008 for best Metal Performance,
As I Lay Dying, Machine Head, Shadows Fall & Slayer Have nothing on the King...thats right not Even SLAYER! but it's a popularity contest so KING will probably lose to either Slayer or one of these NU Metal Trendchasers...it makes me sick
If you do not like King that's fine but at least give credit where it is due...
he deserves the grammy
GEEZ He deserves a lifetime achievement award!
ALL HAIL HIS BLACK MAJESTY
