This looks good to me. A King Diamond ‘Best Of’ on 2 cd’s. I’ve seen KD live four times. If anyone gets the chance to see him do it if you have or haven’t already.
Its Great to see King Diamond,back on the road
Since his heart surgery,
Great music, his european stage show
Is really cool,
Hi eddie, New Sanctuary, cd is great,
More european metal on that metal show.
I like hard, heavy rock. I like the power, the aggression, and the energy. I love a great guitar solo.
I don’t like Satan. Satan is real. Satan was behind Hitler. Satan is behind ISIS. Satan is behind child molesters and human traffickers. I don’t support people who support Satan. King Diamond supports Satan. I can’t support King Diamond. I’ll pass on this record, but I will say a prayer for him.
Is this the guy who says he is a serious satanic church member?
After listening to the King on the podcast, I think you can put his gig up there with Marylin Manson and Alice Cooper. It’s all a stage show. I’d call him agnostic if anything. And he was intelligent talking about it too. Definitely not condescending the way he portrayed his view on stuff.
Getting into the religious stuff was important to me in that interview. I was always curious of his real views which as you said seem to me agnostic
First, I’m glad the guy is doing well after his heart issues. But with all due respect, words mean things. The dude has boldly stated that he is a card carrying member of the church of Satan. I know several folks who are agnostic, and none of them feel the need to have that card in their wallet. Alice Cooper and Gene Simmons play roles that depict the dark side, like the classic Universal monster movies. But i would guess neither Alice or Gene feel the need to have that card in their wallets as a prerequisite to going into character mode.
Bottom line, there are other means to get your heavy metal fix. I’m just sayin’…
