This is why I hate living in New Zealand. No good bands ever play here, seriously, I'd shit a fucking brick if King Diamond played here, but it probably won't happen =(
Fantastic live performance by King and his band-"The Puppet Master" is an excellent album! His vocals are superb live-I don't know why people have a problem with falsetto.....it's a damn sight better than all that death metal grunting.....
i've not heard anything of him for a while last i heard he had a problem with his back :( does anyone know if he's touring at all or maybe word of working on a new album or something?
HELL YEAH! Saw KD @ JAXX in West Springfield, VA on The Puppet Master Tour. He opened the show by performing the whole Abigail album, threw choice PM cuts at us, then finally possessing us with what I consider KDs greatest hits! When Jehovah witnesses knock I offer them a pamphlet in return of the most insane photos I ever captured @ a concert. Two guitar picks from La Rocque are treasures I scored as well! KING DIAMOND is for real, thanks for your time!
@mrtavcovik Not sure what you're talking about, he sounds exactly as he does on the album. The reason it sounds different is because he uses a lot more harmonies and overdubs that you simply can't replicate in a live setting without either backing vocalists or playing pre-recorded sound clips.

well i found king diamond today and ppl saying how good he is so i check it out and i realized HE SUCKS DICK its like im listen to a fucking band a cats making noises wtf
@theVEGASSKATERS ... well you are insulting the technique. I figured you should actually know something about said technique. Maybe you should just not comment back if you don't give a shit
@fuck602 Alice Cooper wanna be. Not bad, but,, just lots of good make up and bad back ground noise. Just an opinion to the young one with a pretty basic FU name.
King Diamond is one of the bands that has only gotten better and better...most bands i really love have gone kinda bland nowadays, but King Diamond still kicks ass :D

I agree with you I actually puked on my computer when I heard this Thanks a lot king diamond my computer is fucking busted. (stupid fairy ass mother fucker)
@Huzzawful It's just that, as good as he is, he cannot POSSIBLY be better than someone who uses head-voice. That is, he doesn't seem to have better control than any other highly popular high-note singer, and since he doesn't have any other advantages, and he seems to have one disadvantage (using falsetto instead of head-voice) he it is interesting that people would consider him "the best". Or even close to it. Though I guess it's what you like. Who prefers falsetto to head voice?
@AtariMaxiToriyama wy doz it matter wat technique he uses? who the fuck cares? u think all of us give much of a shit? all we care about is how he sounds, not what technique he's using " Ohh durr im gna go lsn to Harry Conklin coz hes using head voice for his high notes" thinking like that is pretty stupid, if u dont like the guy fine, but who u think is a good singer is completely subjective to ur own tastes, none of us all like the same singers, its called having an opinion
@laithlaith91 Why are you being so sarcastic and defensive? I was merely making a statement to inform anyone interested of my curiosity. I'm not bashing the singer or his fans.
@AtariMaxiToriyama why can't he be better? falsetto takes a lot more control than head voice, It's also harder to do WELL than head voice. I also disagree with saying that's all he has going for him. Personally I like his head voice as well as his falsetto, not to mention he can also do growls... King can do it all.
King is original vocalist. Rarely, someone sings falcetto;] King is one of the best singer of all world, but Andy is the best guitarist! Long solos master:)
the girl`s name is sylvia something, she did a dueto with king in the "so sad" track, and some vocals in the album. Great video, butif someone had beheaded the guy in front of the camera, which made it impossoble to see the eerie puppet, it would have kicked ass even more!!
I actually don't think it is. If you watch the video of "So Sad" from this show they show someone else offstage singing the female parts, and I'm assuming that's Livia.
to be honest,i didnt like king diamond a year ago...but when the classic stuff got boring,i wanted something that was more hard-to-hear,more progressive...and i listened to kd again...HE IS THE KING!!!!!his talent is incredible...i cant believe what an idiot i was for no liking him :P HE IS THE FUCKING BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He deliberately made the falsetto sound ugly, obviously thats it. That's a trademark of his highness the king. Hey, its should be grim, ugly and utterly depressing.
Some people say that his singing sucks but i can't get enough of his voice!! i mean... he is 51 years young and still doing original music by his own style!! Hail to the King of metal!!!
It's no shit. He sings different lines Live than you can hear on album.. King rules, and of course with that kind of singing styles you have better nights and not so good nights. This montreal live wasn't so good but he sang very well on this tour too.

The music is good but I cant stand his voice--its annoying and downright comical..Geoff Tate,Khan,and Halford are much better skilled vocalists,and you dont find yourself chuckling to their lyrics nearly as much
