576.0. "King Diamond" by USCTR1::KGALLANT (Rock'n'roll is my religion...) Mon Jun 26 1989 13:01

    
    
    
    	It seems that a letter was written to King Diamond stating that
    	his makeup was infringing up the federeally registered trademark
    	makeup of Kiss's Gene Simmons.
    
    	Apparently, his makeup is TOO close to the makeup that Gene
    	used to wear before they revealed their faces.
    
    	King Diamond says he was "going to change it anyway."
    
    	Tigga~~~
    
    	...King Diamond recorded their latest album at the studio owned
    	by The Captain and Tenille!!!!

	... GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... I love King D. Mercyful Fate was better though.
576.3	The invisible guests....	BOSHOG::KELLY	I dont look like Jani lane (WARRANT)	`Tue Sep 26 1989 09:44`	10
	THEM is a great album.... not a bad concept...but his voice does get to ya after a while.... hate to be near a PA cab during his show... Can you say EARBLEED??? BK
576.4	K.D. info please	RICKS::MINARDI	State of Euphoria!	`Tue Oct 03 1989 13:09`	6
	Someone please give a K.D. discography... I want some K.D. material and need a recommendation. ANyone have King Diamond's newest album?? /Motorbreath
576.5		PFLOYD::ROTHBERG	No Luke... I am your father.	`Thu Oct 05 1989 04:11`	10
	Not really a discography, but I've heard both Abagail and Them both of which are excellent albums, but I like Mercyful Fate a great deal more. I would suggest either Melissa or Don't Break the Oath by MF. MF kills KD! - Rob JMHO ... -
576.6		ROSBIF::PHILIPPA	I'M BACK, and I've got LIPS again!	`Thu Oct 05 1989 10:52`	8
	Following on from Tigga's base note....it seems that the case would have taken two years to come to court and so KD has merely altered his make-up, under supervision fro Gene Simmons. KD says he laughed when he first read the letter and thought it was a joke. Flip
576.7	NO TALENT!!	AIADM::BURKART		`Tue May 01 1990 14:29`	2

576.11		PFLOYD::ROTHBERG	The Water Buffalo Grand Poobah	`Tue May 01 1990 16:26`	12
	I'm not a big King D fan, but back when he was with Mercyful Fate, he was the gnads! I love MF! I admit, the satanistic stuff gets a bit droll, but the music is excellent. GRANDMA!!!!!!!! :')
576.13	The Eye	KETJE::VLASIU		`Fri Sep 13 1991 13:38`	10
	As I listened and enjoyed two years ago Merciful Fate's "Melissa" I listened this time "The Eye" (1990). tE is a fine album if you suport KD's high voice. I quite like his singing if he's not forgetting himself in the high range. But where KD excells for me, it's in the compositions and musical arrangements. He shows much talent, classical music influences and uses excellent players (or he drives them very well). The vocal harmonies and choruses, the keyboard parts and the song structures are very fine. Interesting music. Sorin
576.14		KIRKTN::IGOLDIE	So be it	`Fri Sep 13 1991 13:42`	6
	doesn't his guitarist Andy La Roche do alot on the orcestration and musical arrangements?........apart from being an excellant guitar player! Staynz
576.15		CAVLRY::ROBR	Machines have no conscience...	`Sat Sep 14 1991 00:47`	9
	Man, I love these guys (looking back through my old replies, I see I said I loved MF but not really KD. I changed my mind!! :')) Abagail is one of my favorite songs of all time.
576.16		TRACTR::JENNISON	Wont See What Might Have Been	`Sat Sep 14 1991 00:57`	1
	Are you going tomorrow or what ?
576.17	And first class keyboards, guitars ..	KETJE::VLASIU		`Mon Sep 16 1991 06:59`	13
	I listened all the weekend "The eye". Excellent stuff. KD does great vocals on all the songs (although I'm a bit disturbed by some excessive use of high range - but I like the mid-range and all the choruses also by KD). KD proves to be not only a fine singer but an excellent keyboard player also. I wonder if the other keyboard player, Roberto Falcao has some link with the famous brazilian soccer player (the name seems to be the same). Many actual HM bands should take example from KD of how using keyboards in HM rock. KD's (or RF's) keyboard playing continues in the style of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Yes. All the rest of the album contains first class instrumentals and arrangements. I'll search for "Them" and the rest of KD's albums. Sorin
576.18	RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE	COMET::JENSENT		`Fri Jul 31 1992 02:51`	14
	King Diamond's Abigail rules. Merciful Fate's Don't Break The Oath rules. King Diamond along with Merciful Fate just released a brand new CD last week titled Merciful Fate Return of the Vampire, I guess it has a bunch of unreleased KD and MF stuff on it. It jams, you should definetly check it out if you find it. Don't much care for the vocals but love the music especially the guitars. T.Jensen
576.19	Sleepless NiIIiigghhts...up 452 octaves	SHARE::COOK	Confusion?... I don't get it.	`Fri Jul 31 1992 14:25`	5
	What about "Them"? I think that's a pretty cool album, overall too! Come to think of it, "Conspiracy" has coupla good songs on it- "Sleepness Nights" Rules! Chad
