King Diamond

[BurningInRed]

And/or Mercyful Fate. Both being amazing. I don't know exactly how many people here are into ancient 80's dinosaur bands of the metal variety, but seems a thread about something different might be fun.

I guess it's kind of what you'd get mixing early Metallica/Megadeth/whatever with euro black-metal, and basically Bee Gees vocals.

Singing is...yeahhh. Awesomeness.

This world needs more cheese, and the King doesn't disappoint.

Can't be a metalhead and not listen to Mercyful Fate.

[nieh]

I've only ever heard like 2 King Diamond songs (ok, technically one was a Probot song) but does anyone else get the feeling that Axl Rose swiped his singing style from him?

[BurningInRed]

Maybe, I'm not quite sure. King D's a little more insane and cheesy-theatrical, even than Rose. He's all like operatic and hilarious, instead of just stadium-rock glam douchebagg-y.
