Wow! Totally disrespectful to the artist that they've invited onto their show. If you disagree, then disagree with him and let him reply, don't disagree when he's left and be all judgmental! Absolutely farcical.
Diamond told the "Montreal Mirror" back in 2003: "It was at a time when KISS had taken their makeup off and probably needed publicity. My label contacted me and said they had a lawyer's letter threatening me to change my design. It was ridiculous -- even a child could tell that my makeup wasn't similar to Gene's." The suit was eventually dropped.
The man who started it! Sure, Arthur Brown, KISS and Alice Cooper did it first, but they're hard rock. King Diamond is evil heavy metal, so black/death/thrash metal bands give more credit to KD , than the others..
And that's true, Amanda is a stupid woman! Lol. You don't see King without his make-up on, it's a rare occasion when he is naked faced. But you can tell Amanda and her other host are probably New Wave/Soft Rock fans.
I just watched an 1987 interview King with 3 1970's looking suit guys ,they must have expected him to be to some crazy out of control person. I Loved his repose. He was intelligent & calm. He didn't respond when they tried to provoke him. Gotta love King.
If the interviewers thought this why have him on and suck up to him then trash him after he leaves? King isn't a judgmental piece of shit like these two and would be very kind and talk to them about his views, while not judging them on theirs.
I thought they were so rude at the end with the comments they both made. I hope they burn in HELLLL. And they probably will.... King Diamond is the Best ever😈😈😈🔥
It was the s'80, everything metal had to do with Satan! At least for all that people burning records! I remember all that crap! I believe King mentioned the book deliberately to cause an effect on that lady. You can tell she was genuinely scared from the beginning, and watch the hand shake at the end. She was trembling.
"Even though most of King Diamond's songs focuses around satanism, King Diamond himself has stated in a danish spoken interview from 2006, that he doesn't live by any religious belief and that it's logically impossible to prove whether a god or devil exists or not." - Swedish encyclopedia.
I find this funny how people judged him so much back then when all he was doing was getting a rise out of the viewers basically, besides his religious beliefs. deffinately should have been more respect in this interview since they were talking to the best metal singer of all time
Only God can judge another person. I agree them being judgemental is never an avenue with getting through to someone. However they know the devil is evil and you shouldn't be messing with him.
I don't care that king is a Satanist, I believe in god, but I still listen to him, he rules, that was rude of the interviewers. don't judge someones religion.
They complain about the makeup, but if he showed up without the inverted cross earrings and on his forehead, they probally wouldnt of even said anything lol. Just proof that the "Makeup" wasn't the issue lol
Lol that was the best part of that Motley Crue video yeah! How do you get “Wendy” from Yngwie? Eh I guess it could be worse could have been “Ying wee” or something Interesting thoughts: both Yngwie and King are theatrical and “over the top” they should do something together that would be awesome
The whole problem is so many people choose to be self righteous and therefore isolated from the truth.It leaves them vulnerable and afraid.Its a shame.
If you're gonna say bad stuff about KD say it to his face because he will take your views and try and make you fell more comfortable not when the guy leaves the show
@balancepiston Gene sues everything and everyone because his sole purpose in life is making money. No biggie for a guy like King. He makes his money through working, not suing people.
I think Gene is a greedy douche. Really started to hate him when I learned so much about him when he did his reality show family jewels. He's so disrespectful to his beautiful wife too.
I love how they “act” like they’re bashing him when they’re literally sitting behind a “skull and bones” symbol. Anyone that actually knows anything about the occult is aware of what that means and knows that those two interviewers know exactly what that book is and then some, all I’ll say
I'm not sure whether they see it as their religious orientation or just as philosophy. I would go with the second alternative. No, i did not see his new stage show. He appeared at the Sweden Rock Festival recently but I weren't able to go. I heard it was pretty sick though. :)
@Saintwalker31 25 albums and a 28 year career in the music business, still doing voice overs for Metalocalypse. What was it you did with your life again? Gotcha. By the way be careful talking so big IRL, Diamond/Fate fans tend to be pretty tough. You might find your eyes gauged out talking such nonsense.
I think it’s crazy that they rag on king diamond for his makeup but literally showed Motley Crue who wears makeup and high heels and spends thousands on their outfits
Wait! Was this for real? Or was an entire show? Cause if it was like that it's fine, but if not it broke my heart seeing The King acting politely as the gentleman he is to see this pair of interviewers behaving like that, does not seem that ethic. Hope I'm wrong...
What the hell was wrong with the people at the end of this video? King Diamond was being all polite like usual and they start talking shit about him? WTF 🤬
@MikeToddOnline what principles? they stated their opinion, at the time there was alot of talk about KD & even some Metal heads i knew refused to listen to him. thanks to MTV i saw his videos & became a fan. He is NOT a "Satanist" hes an atheist & doesn't believe in Religion. I am not an Atheist But i also don't believe in Religion. King Diamond is a Good guy & a great singer & thats all that matters
