agreed
I have to say Them is my favorite album, followed by Abigail & The Eye, I'm on a King Diamond kick here at work today, I just loaded all the albums into a playlist and hit shuffle... I should do this more days...
:bow: :bow: :bow:

You all should have been at my 4 hour KING DIAMOND marathon on Oct 1st, it ruled.
[Nov 1,2005 2:37pm - DreamingInExile ""]
yes, we should have been... anytime King Diamon is played, I should be there...
[Nov 1,2005 2:41pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
Very tough decision here.
From best to least for me would be:
Abigail
The Eye
Conspiracy
Them
Fatal Portrait
The Dark Sides
Spider's Lullabye
Abigail 2
House of God
Voodoo
Puppet Master
The Graveyard (hate that one)

I knew I'd forget at least one...
I forgot No Presents for Christmas, and probably a few more too
DAMNIT!
[Nov 1,2005 2:47pm - BSV ""]
I own no King Diamond records, I'm a poser and deserve a beating. I think I'll buy Abigail on my way home tonight.
[Nov 1,2005 2:59pm - DreamingInExile ""]
good call! Abigail is such an awsome story/album

Nah, technically it's not an album, just some b-sides or bonus tracks from other albums compiled onto an EP. But it is the only place I have 'The Shrine'.......
And that speaks a thousand words right there.
[Nov 1,2005 3:16pm - DreamingInExile ""]
true, The Shrine is soooooooo good
what else was on that? I'm pretty sure The Lake and The Phone Call were, weren't they?
[Nov 1,2005 4:17pm - pisscup ""]

1. Halloween
2. Them
3. No Presents for Christmas
4. Shrine
5. The Lake

Heheh, well, what you listed is pretty much the cream of the crop, though 'Spiders Lullabye' is definitely decent.
[Nov 1,2005 6:09pm - BornSoVile ""]
just grabbed Fatal Portrait/Abigail - awesome!!! anyone who doesn't like King Diamond is a fag.
[Nov 1,2005 6:11pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""]
You can say that again
[Nov 1,2005 6:52pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
Josh, you are still a fag even though you do like him.
[Nov 1,2005 6:54pm - BornSoVile ""]
At least I'm not gay like you, crying my eyes out everytime someone pokes fun at me on the net.
[Nov 1,2005 6:56pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
Yeah, because I do that.
[Nov 1,2005 6:58pm - BornSoVile ""]
Exactly, stop ruining everyone's happy time.
[Nov 1,2005 7:02pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
Look who's talking, you don't even know how annoying you are.
[Nov 1,2005 7:07pm - BornSoVile ""]
I'm more annoying than you will ever be and could ever dream about. I'm the gum on the bottom of your shoe, I'm the asshole who looks at every CD you have and doesn't buy any, I'm the dude that steals all your women and fucks them.
Anyways Dwyer, do you still have the tribute CD in stock?
[Nov 1,2005 7:09pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""]
I have the MERCYFUL FATE tribute on Still Dead Records from Poland, just 1 or 2 left.
[Nov 1,2005 7:13pm - BornSoVile ""]
wasn't sure if it was mercyful fate or king diamond.
[Nov 1,2005 8:15pm - anonymous ""]
king diamond fucking sucks!
[Nov 1,2005 8:21pm - anonymous ""]
Just kidding!
But I really do suck!
[Nov 1,2005 8:23pm - anonymous ""]
on second thought,no i'm not kidding,king diamond sucks!
[Nov 1,2005 8:24pm - anonymous ""]
The other side of my personality can go on for as long as this one though...
So I've changed my mind yet again, and King Diamond does not suck! I am simply bitter inside because he is better than I am...
[Nov 1,2005 8:26pm - anonymous ""]
then again,he is the biggest polesmoker since halford ,so odds are king diamond sucks!
[Nov 1,2005 8:28pm - anonymous ""]
Then again, I am also a polesmoker...so how can I criticize him for that?
Fuck, I just realized Halford is better than me too...so that makes two gay metal legends who are better than I....I am so jealous, I think I will continue to post anonymously about road-tested metal legends who suck just to piss off everyone who likes them!
[Nov 1,2005 8:30pm - anonymous ""]
now that sounds like a plan...those king diamond groupies are the fiercest fans in metal,i'll give him that much,but he still sucks,without andy larouque hed be pumping gas and writing harry potter books

ha ha you called your hero gay!
[Nov 1,2005 8:32pm - anonymous ""]
Oh wait, this is my 3rd personality chiming in....I just realized that if King Diamond took over the Harry Potter novels, I'd buy 10 copies of each...
It's just my little girl side. Andy LaRocque is so hot and he would actually fuck me, unlike King Diamond who is gay (and also plays guitar, and comes up with almost all of his own songs).
[Nov 1,2005 8:34pm - anonymous ""]
open anyone album cover look at the band photos and tell me that aint gay?{especially the snowy shaw period}

KING DIAMOND SUCKS

anonymous said:open anyone album cover look at the band photos and tell me that aint gay?{especially the snowy shaw period}
I am realizing that band photos have literally no relevance to the quality of the music on the CD...so despite being gay, I, anonymous and my several distinct personalities have come to the conclusion that King Diamond rules.
I am off to go club gays and lesbians with my spiked club now, since noone has informed me yet of what century this is.
[Nov 1,2005 8:38pm - anonymous ""]
he should hire the guy from that jersey band blessed death,praaaaaaaayy fffffooooorrrrrrrrr deeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaath

do me a favor and start with king diamond!
[Nov 1,2005 8:40pm - anonymous ""]
Hmmm. Yes, me, he should, though on second thought, Blessed Death should be left alone, since both are fine without each other.
[Nov 1,2005 8:42pm - anonymous ""]
the guy in blessed death blows king diamond out of the water! as far as vocal talent goes and he doesnt sound like a spermguzzler doin it!
[Nov 1,2005 8:42pm - anonymous ""]
anonymous said:do me a favor and start with king diamond!
Or perhaps I will instead start by clubbing my own eyes in, so that I can no longer see all those gays and lesbians who have been so cruel to me in my life, to have provoked my unending hatred.
[Nov 1,2005 8:44pm - anonymous ""]
or maybe i should really think about what draws kids to this obviously closet homosexual dribble
[Nov 1,2005 8:46pm - anonymous ""]
anonymous said:the guy in blessed death blows king diamond out of the water! as far as vocal talent goes and he doesnt sound like a spermguzzler doin it!
Oh yes, self, he does, which is why Blessed Death made two albums in the 80s and got dumped from their record label, and King Diamond went on to resounding international success with not one, but two separate bands...success that has lasted unto this day, while Blessed Death...
Wait, do I hear crickets?
[Nov 1,2005 8:48pm - anonymous ""]
anonymous said:or maybe i should really think about what draws kids to this obviously closet homosexual dribble
Or perhaps that I am actually the closet homosexual, which is why I constantly insult people of that orientation, that I may distance myself from them, and impress my equally homoerotically challenged friends with my prehistoric worldview.

i have to "correct"myself -blessed death made 2 GREAT albums but were way ahead of their time,, while king diamond made 3 okay to pretty fuckin good albums and has consistently released shitbucket album after shitbucket album every year for all eternity,
there,i think thats what "i"meant to say
[Nov 1,2005 9:03pm - anonymous ""]
Now if only I could convince any of that vast overwhelming majority of metal fans to agree with me, when I can't even convince myself.
But alas, they never will. And my world grows smaller.
