Haha, yeah, King Diamond is all right. I don't listen to his music often though.. I like The graveyard, Abigail and Abigail II most of him, but I prefer Mercyful Fate.
I had a couple too. I even saw him once. It was a great show, but I don't think I'd get into anymore. Funny but true story: KD used to live in this area, and this friend of mine who's a huge metal head and loved King Diamond saw him once in a sports bar. He went up and talked to him, you know, I'm your biggest fan kind of stuff, and then begged KD to let him mow his lawn. He got turned down. Hahaha, i think its funny just to think of KD living in a suburb and having a lawn.
