He said they had to borrow money from the mafia in New York City to complete the tour....I got the video off torrentspy.com the file is King_Diamond_DVD_The_Video's_Collection-....Any King Diamond fan should check it out!!.. |

I can only image the King having a sit-down with a bunch of fat gindaloons over a sumptuous Italian feast and stressing the importance of American youth coming into his coven, raising their hands and doing the sign. I'll bet Giuseppe Bartolino himself said something to the effect of "Well... I got an aunt who's a nun... and she is kind of like a shark..." And so it was done. |

Fuck that, King's original makeup design was cool, and Gene Simmons looks like a fucking douchebag. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 11,2008 9:45pm - BSV ""] I just completed my King Diamond discography the other day. best to least Conspiracy Abigail House of God Fatal Portrait Gimme Your Soul...Please The Eye Them Abigail II Voodoo The Spider's Lullabye The Puppet Master The Graveyard all are excellent though. I'd take The Graveyard on a desert island over the majority of discs in my collection. |

I was into Fate and then the KD solo debut came out right before I started seventh grade, I was listening to it on the way to my first day of school, and everything was gonna be OK. Kinda sorta. |
