King Diamond Talks To IGN.com About Metallica: Guitar Hero

IGN.com has just posted an interview with KING DIAMOND based around his involvement with the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica video game.

IGN: One of the things you recorded for the game was the song “Evil” which you first laid down in 1983. Did you do anything different in the tracking?

Diamond: Well, the main thing about that is besides the drummer, we have all of the same people playing on this new version that were there for the original sessions. It was very interesting going back to listen to the records and trying to figure out all of the vocal layering and harmonies. We couldn’t find the original tapes anywhere so we started over. Hank (Shermann) might have changed a few things in the guitar solos but they were just improvement types of things. He’s obviously playing better these days because that was so long ago but that’s really the only big changes.

    King’s only been playing in bands since the ’70s. What have you done besides talk trash on message boards? Plus, I’m 100% ZP respects the hell out of King and everything he’s contributed to metal. Take your elementary trash talk back to blabbermouth where it belongs.

    Slit Your Gutz stated it perfectly.

    King Diamond is way badass. I’m afraid he’s going to get Slash-ified though. When Guitar Hero 3 came out, all the little kids who saw Slash were like “OMG I like totally love him, err, even though the only GNR song I know is Welcome to The Jungle”. I don’t want 13 year olds to think Diamond only did Evil…
