The theme of Child-Molestation is at the heart of the 'GRAVEYARD' album. It's in the lyrics to this album that the main villain, Mayor McKenzie, molests his own daughter in secret while the hero, KING himself, although not by name, kidnaps McKenzie's daughter LUCY in order to bring him to justice. That's the basic plot, but the story was unfinished...
King has always been known as the evil badass, as has Ozzy and other vocalists, but you never hear anybody so passionate about issues like King. The way he defends children and reprimands child molesters is really unique and definitely shows a maturity, not only musically, but intellectually; a rarity in heavy metal, but very refreshing
How could he NOT be popular in Latin-America ? It's so similar to Europe, I'm Latino myself, living, born and raised in America and it doesn't surprise me at all that KING's music is so popular there
im christian but man king diamond is awesome and i think it doesnt matter if the music u listen is evil becuase its all good and slayer is freaking awesome to soo wooot
never said i was a satanist. i've been that before, but realised that religion, just like christianity, speaks against itself all the time. i'm not trying to defend satanism, i'm just saying that all religions are built on good thoughts that's been used the wrong way. look if you're trying to be a good person because of your faith that's a good thing, but it really doesn't matter if you're believing in god, jesus, satan or some hindu god with a elephant head
long live the king!!
love hearing this guy talk. he's always got an interesting perspective on something.
King Diamond is incredibly intelligent, well-spoken, and talented.

He's right about the creative freedom, and music sounding the same, not many bands have their own sound nowadays.
ojalá kingdiamond regrese a Mexico algun día
King Diamond is nice, extremely intelligent, and of course..................
AMAZING!Hail the KING!
I love him

Nice :)
when he's talking about child abuse, he sounds like such a good guy...
the funny thing is, mercyful is actually a spelling mistake. it looks better, but merciful would actually be correct.
the influence of Kind Diamond came from Alice Cooper on the face painting.

King D makes a REALLY good point from 6:03 to 6:50. I was actually some what surprised to hear that from him. But good for him.
a heavy metal army would be nice, king
lol, they spell "merciful fate" wrong on the subtitles, it's mercyful fate. The Y makes the difference.
Well, i suppose it must be so.
King has connections with the mafia xD
I love his accent, I think it's so sexy.
Lol I didn't know that he speaks with a real Danish accent!
I had no idea King could talk this much lol...
@guitarzero The Rocker is only in the "translation"
when was this interview?
Andy "The Rocker" 4:51 LOL
@guitarzero
only in the translation...
true, but I always thought it was intentional, like "Led" Zeppelin, or Mega"Deth."
Finally, someone fucking says it! Thank you! ^_^
i believe this in weed
cinco,cinco, cinco, king diamond, abogados, cinco cinco cinco, mercyful fate, cinco cinco cinco
@brandonledger
Ha! I just went to Boo At The Zoo wearing A King Diamond shirt. Knoxville, TN
@SavageScott1005 Everyone knows KD eats at Burger King! :p (sorry, couldn't help it)
@ggriffinn1 ah derka derka!
@jesuswonthelottery Can't blame him. Break down his name "La-Roque" and it literally means "The Rock" (Minus the spelling.) LOL
@SavageScott1005 King Diamond doesn´t go to mcdonalds.

King and Ronald could have a knife fight in front of the kids.
and btw telling people that they will burn in hell doesn't seem to really fit with what jesus said, like love thy neighbour and shit like that
...and if anyone needs the hint, it was the greedy one.
lol
la traduccion como el pico
i know there's a hip hop album from king diamond called, "black nightmare"
Hail Satan King!
i´m not christian or the opposite (satanist). I just live and let live. don´t you think it´s superior to both?
Spanish is such a crude vulgar language lol gross
