Talk:King Diamond

message: The discography section was partially written by Michael. It can't be blanked, because that would be blanking substantial edits by other users, so it'll need to be checked instead. Guanaco 02:34, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Facts checked via google search +"King Diamond" +discography Multiple sites had to be used because they rarely agree with each other (missing albums here and there) but a majority agrees with the current list.  The Dark sides is variously listed as 1988, 1989 or 1990, but the wikipedia article lists it at 1988, so I guess we can go with that. -Vina 20:52, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: This page needs to be split up in two pages: one for Kind Diamond (person/singer) and one for the band. The main article imo should be the band. Spearhead 15:52, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I have no idea what i'm doing as far as wikipedia goes, but wanted to mention that all King Diamond albums except for Fatal Portrait and Spider's Lullabye are horror concept albums, and those two that aren't have half their content dedicated to the horror concept. also some mention should be made of Andy Laroque the guitar player for king's band, one of the few bandmembers to stay in the band, and a totally amazing soloist — Preceding unsigned comment added by iamnobody2 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "He despises Saxon."
Saxon is a disambiguation page. Perhaps the link should be fixed to go to the saxon he hates. Unless he hates Saxon in general? GoneWacko 18:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Removal of tag

message: Yes I know I'm boring. I was thinking that we could somewhat shorten the article by moving the extensive discography listing to the King Diamond (band) page, and keep only the essential here. Most of it is overlaping and there is no info about singles on the band page. We could also add a link like For exstensive discography listing see the King Diamond (band) page. So if anybody is going to view this proposal at all, please add your comment. Thank you. Death2 23:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: probably best to make a separate article of disco's for both MF and KD (band) and link to these. Then the lists can be removed. BTW wasn't it an option to remove the iconic images.table also from the discos? Spearhead 21:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but for Andy LaRocque, and that's done already. Since the discography will be in the new page we don't have to remove the table necessarily. See Fireball_Ministry for an alternative type of discography tables also. Death2 22:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This section is totally confusing. It was obviously written by one person, then edited badly by another person in disagreement. I know a bit about LaVeyan satanism and even I am scratching my head. --Storkk 18:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Satanism

message: Since when does KD growl? I've never heard him do it, despite that I have most of his album with KD and MF The only part that comes to my mind that might be considered is from 15 Men (and a bottle of Rum) of MF's  Into The Unknown. For the rest is simple a mid-range clean vocal style mixed with falsetto. Spearhead 21:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Growl? 

message: Look I am not the biggest King Diamond fan, I however love black metal. As well as being a former Satanist. This page needs help however it seems whoever did write this was not as educated as they had thought. Curiosity calls what is the big deal about the Satanism thing? He is displaying Satanism how Anton La Vey had portrayed it in the Satanic Bible. If you have read the book you cannot tell me that you never noticed how every 20 or so pages he normally contradicted almost everything he had just said. Look another thing is that the Satanism doesn’t have a whole lot to do with Lucifer because it is the Fear tactic that Anton La Vey, had been using the whole wear your crosses because I said I was a Satanist. He refers to the beast, which is who you are. Satanism is a chauvinist religion. In most aspects, beyond that does it really matter if King Diamond was a Satanist or not. It is confusing at the same time you really expect him to explain Satanism? Seriously if you have never been one you do not know what it is like to deal with self righteous Christians. Next you get to explain yourself. It is redundant and by the end you are so fed up with being told how wrong you are and how right they are you end up walking away. 
Keep in mind what I said about the Satanic Bible and tell me if I am wrong I haven't read this book in years. If I remember correctly it is a lot of contradiction. That is my stand on this whole thing if anyone reads this and perhaps learns then I am happy if I am thought of as wrong. I am not going to lose any sleep over it. 
Thank you for reading it Fuck you if you do not care
Peace,

:Satanism does not really come into the the scope of this article, linked to his former satanism, and current atheism, also linked, so it all should be explained in their own respective articles. Also, the "apologetic" bits added to this article do not belong here. He is not, in any way christian, though he likes the mythology, and uses it. 91.152.231.113 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:59, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

message: So, are the femur/tibia combo that make up the microphone decoration actual bones, or not? It's not too important, because a day-to-day user with two eyes and some cortexes/lobes can probably decide for themselves from the picture. But my friend insists they're fake and probably look the way they do because they're so old.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.14.157 (talk) 12:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Next to his voice type, it lists his range as C5-B5. Either this is actually intended to explain the range of a tenor, or it is a typo. Either way, it would be better to change the C5 to whatever his lowest note is. I have no idea what that is by the way.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sherick (talk • contribs) 19:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: "King Diamond is currently married to Livia Zita, a 24-year-old Hungarian-born singer..."
Describing Zita as a "24-year-old" is alone not very practical, as her age varies depending on what time you look at the article. The date of marriage should be added to the article. Sherick (talk) 23:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
