I've seen them several times
and aside from St Anger, I really like all of their stuff, they were my favourite band for years, but you do just have to ignore them being complete wankers. Lars particularly, the shitty little goblin.

also, St Anger was sooo shit

St Anger's drum sound is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in metal, and I like King Diamond.

My idea for a drumkit made entirely of different sized cowbells would send better
who knows why he abandoned his snare drum in favour of a saucepan?

The album I bought had a DVD of them playing St. Anger in their rehearsal area,
and with Lars having exchanged the acetylene cylinder for an actual snare drum, the songs sound a lot better.

On the album though, it renders the songs unlistenable. No idea who agreed that it was a good idea, but someone should have told them that the pint-sized Danish Emperor was actually naked.
