Yeah, or No.

I think it is definetly his use of Falsetto that makes or breaks him.

Personally I like his music, solo and Mercyful Fate. I like the unique qualities in the music and how original it is.

Although he has very satanic lyrics and themes, not really my thing, but its just music.

I would say Yeah, Though I like Mercyful Fate times more. I like KD's idea of theme albums.

Mercyful Fate is better King Diamond is a watered down version although sometimes they bring out great songs.

Heck Yeah he sings great, but I agree all those dark occult themes not really to my taste.

yeah Mercyful Fate is better than KD, but I do like songs like Welcome Home, Them, and stuff from their newest album.

Lol Carl, as well some headbangers would laugh to some country dudes or even old blues dudes... thou I admit that King Diamond looks bit ridiculous on stage xD. But I still think that Immortal or Dimmu Borgir takes the first place when it comes to ridiculous looks...

@Empirism

my vote for goofiest look = this band a friend of mind had to CONVINCE me , lol, was not a 'Spinal Tap' kinda joke ...

Manowar (spelled something like that anyways .. yer guts will hurt from laughing at the dudes 2foot spiked collar and such .. and then oh lawd lawd lawd then they start that tapping and tapping and tapping and tapping hahaha
i'll try and find a link

its been my guess that the insanely insane costumes and lyrics (not fun funny like Gwar, just lame, lol) are some way to get gigs without having to play ; cause when ya hear 'em oh good lord! its that Neutered "chord" (1+5th) over squealing demon-man/woman which is then overloaded with , yup, tap tap tapping LOL!!

i will find that link if it kills me

haha I like Manowar its been on my profile for a while(maybe not anymore)

And Mercyful fate is pretty goofy looking but I really like the lyrics in his songs, very talented guy IMO.

Yeah they're goofy looking too but they're the only power Metal band I like I have to say the music only gets sillier with other Power Metal bands.

nothing is sillier than Black Metal
