Back in my suburban freak/stoner daze, I was afraid of King Diamond. That whole satantic angle still wigs me out a bit.

 

Word, ouija boards and King Diamond freak the hell out of me to this day.

i remember seeing a picture of him w/out his makeup and he really just looked like one of the guys who hung out in the hallway by my high school wood shop.

 

I knew a dude back when I used to hang around the town of Cicero IL (which was a tremendously eff'd up town back in the day, still is actually) that worshiped King Diamond. To pay tribute to KD, he started a band named Natas....which is satan spelled backwards....

He was a motivational speaker.

 

I saw a documentary on him. He played a show at a college in the nude.. The crowd was just kind of sitting around, staring at him awquardly.. There was also a scene where he started beating the shit out of some girl.. That guy was seriously disturbed.

Yep.

 

He used to pinch a loaf on stage sometimes too.

 

I recall his music being real loud and abrasive but not in a good way.

That documentary (if it's the same one) includes the single most disgusting/awesome thing I've ever seen.

Hated (or something like that)? That was directed by the dude who directed Old School. Phish, after seeing Hated, also hired him to direct their doc Bittersweet Motel.

Black Sabbath: Paranoid Set For Double Vinyl And 3 CD Release

Monday, 04 August 2008

 

Throughout the history of rock some albums are considered to be historic works either for breaking a new sound or transforming a little known band into Icons of their genre.

 

IRON MAIDEN's debut album, METALLICA's Black Album, LED ZEPPELIN's IV and BLACK SABBATH's Paranoid are just four legendary albums of a list of possibly only 10 or 12 masterpieces.

 

On September 29th, Universal Music are issuing Black Sabbath Paranoid on Double Vinyl and a Deluxe 3CD Set.

 

Paranoid is the second album by the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was released in the United Kingdom during September 1970, and contains some of their most famous work, including the songs 'Iron Man', 'War Pigs' and the title track. The album is regarded as a classic of the heavy metal genre and one of the most influental heavy metal albums. It has been certified 4x Platinum, having sold over four million copies in the US alone, making it Black Sabbath's best-selling album.

 

The 'Paranoid' single, released before the album, reached number four in the UK. Pushed by its success, the album hit number one in the UK, and is the only Black Sabbath album to have done so. The US release was held until January 1971, as the Black Sabbath album was still on the charts at the time of Paranoid's UK release. The album broke into the top ten in the US in March 1971, and would go on to sell four million copies in the US alone, with virtually no radio airplay.
