Early mercyful fate and king diamond are masterpieces and one of the defining moments in hard rock and metal history. Michael Denner is one of the orchestrating members of these magical moments. Fantastic stuff thanks for this amazing interview. You don't get classier people like that anymore.
He inspired me to begin playing guitar(Well Mercyful Fate/King Diamond)and other bands. But I'm Danish and he/they are Danish so yeah. Never had any ambitions of becoming a rock star like him/them though. Actually bought an 4 track cassette recorder the month after my first guitar. Then a cheap bass and a drum machine. I like creating music and it's the best hobby ever imo. It brings so much happiness to my life and I'm eternally grateful to the likes of Michael Denner whom kinda gave me this hobby. I don't care about fame or anything like that. But I do care about being happy and music has given me that. So thank you very much.
Michael Denner is excellent guitar player, he has his own distinctive style and sound. 🤘🏻 His solos is very enjoyable to hear. Also Ken Hammer from Pretty Maids is another formidable player.
Let this be a lesson to everyone. That every Mercyful Fate album was played on knockoff Japanese guitars! You don't need a Gibson to get good at playing guitar.
I think Michael just wants to be a private person again. He has a record shop in his home town and I think he enjoys that. Easier commute to work ya know! lol
Denner/Shermann: one of the best Twin-Lead-Guitar-Duos of all Time!!
Agreed.
Michael Denner is one of my favorite guitar players ever!!!!

Michael Denner is a true legend. Check out his later work too, for instance Denner's Trickbag.
Don't Break The Oath is a fantastic album !!!

Michael Denner has to come back with Mercyful Fate or King Diamond definitely
King Kong and Godzilla on guitar, Mercyfull Fate is so much alive! 🎯
🖤🖤🖤
Its a shame he got sided by King and Hank.
King and Hank have been quiet about it. Truth is, we will probably never know what went down between them.

Most likely it came down to $$
Awesome guitarist. Andy LaRoque was better but Michael was excellent.
