King Diamond / Mercyful Fate

Ok guys, i re-created a topic on these fucking cult bands!

I have seen a UG label is preparing a tribure to M.F. But just the 3 first albums covers (?!!!!!!??) and release on tape and cdr (burn this shit!). Really weird the stuff will be no release on pro cd. Dont remember the name of the label, but they contacted me on myspace.

I loathe this.

old MF is naturally the best but still a cd-r tribute is generally pretty gay

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Mon Oct 20, 2008 2:11 pm

Yes official tribute on cdr is indeed gay! I will not buy this.

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Mon Oct 20, 2008 2:37 pm

i cant see mf agreeing to an official cd-r tribute....

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Mon Oct 20, 2008 3:00 pm

Yes, it's seems isnt official in fact..!
Here is the label page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=409923096

nothing there to indicate it is official though...

MF live in 1981 before denner was even in the band

Love the early MF, killer stuff. The bootleg SFM has is fucking killer as well, it was from when King Diamond wouldnt use those sometimes irritating falsettos.

Journey to the House of Satan - some unreleased shit from like 79-81 i think

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Thu Nov 06, 2008 5:42 pm

it's probably the same material as on the lost tapes

Looking at the tracklist some are the same but there are some different ones as well.

i read an interview with king that they were working on a DVD with all this unreleased shit out of MF's personal video vault with whole gigs from 1981 and i think he mentioned gig where they ony ha 1 guitarist (cant remember for sure, was 3 yrs ago) but i rea a more recent interview where he was saying they're having issues due to contracts and rights n such

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Thu Nov 06, 2008 6:49 pm

keeg has/had the Journey to the house of Satan bootleg if I'm not wrong...

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Thu Nov 06, 2008 7:00 pm

i just hope it happens!
King was saying in an interview about a year ago that if KD solo material was to do badly they would probably stop doing KD as it costs so much to organise KD tour as opposed to the smaller club tours which MF does, and therefore if KD was to do poorly they would be likely to do something with MF instead...

we can only hope

I'm a really big fan of both, but I have to say I prefer KD. However it could have to do with the fact that I started with KD and worked backwards to MF.

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Sat Nov 08, 2008 2:31 am

I also prefer KD, more occult indeed, and fit better to my feelings.

I personally Like as maniac early Mercyfull Fate, their stuff is just amazing, debut album and Nuns Have no Fun are great stuff, latter stuff as well as KD is not that killer but good shit I think

i started with spider's lullaby, i enjoy the older KD solo albums but the ones that came out after spider's lullaby i just couldnt get into.. my absolute favourites are the first two MF releases though

I actually liked the new album quite a bit. Its a lot more streamlined and much more heavy metal oriented than the earlier stuff but all in all I pretty well like anything with KD in it. I'm a fanboy what can I say Laughing

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Sun Nov 09, 2008 1:23 pm

Yeahn KD is still at the top. Of course maybe sound is not good as in the past (too modern maybe) but KD still severe kick-ass!!!!!!!

Subject: Re: King Diamond / Mercyful Fate Sun Nov 09, 2008 1:43 pm

i saw MF live the last time they played denmark (as far as i am aware) on the 9 tour, and i saw king live in 2005 in london, and i have to say the MF show was far better than the KD show, i was really looking forward to the KD show since the MF show is still in my top 3 shows of all time, but when I saw KD i couldnt help but leave feeling really disappointed, they did play some old MF songs though with MF being on hold, and that was the best bit of the gig for me.
