worst voice into metal ever

I think his vocals are awesome and unique and one of the main reasons I listen to KD and MF

It's a studio version of this song, with some live footage. Is King in such a bad shape vocally, that he's ashamed to publish a live recording?

Probably because when these guys came into the scene, they freaked out a lot of people. King claimed he was a real satanist, and his voice was very eery, provided a dose of spookyness and complemented the occult themes of the early albums, and the horror themes of the later albums. Plus, he is one of a kind. How many vocalists have you seen doing falsettoes to the level King Diamond does? I myself do not know others than him, but I think you can count them on your fingers. Another reason why he got some exposure is because of the PMRC incident.

Now, whether his voice is good or bad... that is very debateable. There are 3 kinds of vocalists, the ones that know how to deliver, the ones that sound crap but the music itself was made for their vocal delivery, thus it fits and it is listenable and the ones that suck, plain and simple. I think King Diamond is somewhere between the first two categories. In any other band, he wouldn't have sounded that great, but at the same time, his vocals are not crappy at all.

Edit: Mercyful Fate got some exposure in the 90s thanks to Metallica covering a Medley of their early songs.

People were into Mercyful Fate way before Llica(no metal is left) did some medley. I had Melissa and Don't Break the Oath when they first were released. King Diamond started getting more attention with the release of Abigail and the video for The Family Ghost. It is an all time classic record that deserved attention. Yes you are correct the whole PMRC did bring more attention and that cunt Tipper Gore didn't realize that their efforts to try and stop music just made people want it more. So in that regard I say Thank You Stripper Whore!

Indeed, but they did boost their career a little bit and gave more exposure to the band. They ressurected the career of several bands they covered (i.e. Diamond Head). What the PMRC did or what Metallica did is proof enough that any kind where good or bad, publicity is good for your career.
