LOL King said the reason he did not have the Satanic Cross on his forhead in the Family Ghost video and here is because MTV were afraid to show him with it, so King put the Satanic number nine there instead because it means the exact same thing but the goofs at MTV did not know that
HahahaI love the jazz in the background. I'm totally gonna be King Diamond for halloween next year. Sadly most people won't have a clue who I am. They'll probably think I'm Captain Spaulding or some shit like that.
headbangers ball was on for a couple of hours as the king said holy fuck in Canada you would be lucky too see loud for a half hour before midnight and probably shit bands being played if you did see it
I love both Def Leppard and King Diamond (yeah, I know, very weird). Anyway, it is very funny to see King reading a scary tale and then go and announce Faster Pussycat & Def Leppard. LOL.
This is awesome....i havent seen this forever. I always wondered what that weird jazz music was during the fade ins and outs. its weird to hear it again after so long. He hosted again after ThEM....i think he had the cape with the 9 steps sign on each side of the inside.
ALL THOSE OTHER BANDS SUCKED

Used to watch the Ball religiously. Used to get so pissed when they played shitty rock and Hair band videos.

His band is made up of a bunch of poodle-hair cheese heads! Kinda destroys his evil credibility.
