Be nice if one of these 2 walked home with something. Ain’t gonna hold my breath tho.

King Diamond is hilarious.

Unintentionally hilarious, but hilarious nonetheless - like watching a cheesy '80s horror film (Fright Night, Silver Bullet etc…).

I may invest in some Diamond some day - just for laughs. No idea where to start though.

maybe they’re giving him the grammy nod because of his health problems?

it just seems weird that he’d get a Grammy nomination now, he’s been under the radar.

im not really into the sort of music he makes (not a huge fan of heavy metal, although I always had a soft spot for Judas Priest); however, those first few Mercyful Fate albums are quite good.

Mercyful Fate - Don’t Break The Oath

Essential heavy metal listening…

Not too sure about Diamond’s solo output though!

I thought this was going to be some sort of gag about men with unnaturally high voices.

ABIGAIL!!!

Yep, Two of my favorite bands…YES!
