King Diamond is by far one of the smartest people I've ever listened to. He's got a degree in chemistry, he's a great singer (I mean, he really knows music when he sings, unlike the majority of vocalists who only growl, burp or yell in the microphone) and great story teller. Fuck yes
I've met several celebrities, even befriended a punk rock legend, but King was the most down to Earth one I've ever met. I was amazed at how cool he was to fans.
The story line in Abigail was a bit confusing. The story line for "Them" and "Conspiracy" was incredible. I can still read those two lyric sheets and treat it like a great short story.
so cool to hear king explain the abigail story i had it on cassette back in the day & while the songs were fucking killer i had no idea what the lyrics were
"If they only knew" Well I could save all of this & the quotes to show Abigail...but then but then some things go without saying Good or bad.Voodoo happens.So watch what you wish for,more power.
The King is evil! But we all have a little evil in us.. The King has more good than evil so that is good... but without the evil he would have never been who and what he is.. a master of his craft- Kids could spot posers a mile away back in those days when it came to the Rock & Roll.. I know that I could
spiderdragon1969 but the weird thing is, he doesn't view Satan as a religious being, just an entity. that's almost the same as ignoring god's existence
I love the Abigail album and have heard it hundreds of times, and know all the lyrics, but I have never given the story a second thought. To put it bluntly, I have no idea what it's about. I just can't grasp stories that aren't ultra-straightforwardly put to me. In video games alike, I always almost completely disregard the story.
Never thought that much about the stillborn baby thing from Abigail. Come to think of it, King had tried that idea out before with "Night of the Unborn" on the Oath record. Babies that never got a chance to live now get REVENGE! lol.
