SHOW NOTES FROM KING DIAMOND:

"Regarding the soundfile, I can understand some of you have been listening to, this is what really took place:
First of all, the plastic cup filled with beer was thrown at Hank and not me, but I definitely saw the thing happen and saw who threw it. The beer landed right on Hank's guitar. Now here comes the real reason for being kind of upset...
Back in those days we didn't use wireless guitars or wireless microphones, and if someone suddenly got either their guitar or microphone with an electric wire in it doused with liquids, they could be electrocuted. That might have fit real well into the stage presentation, but would have only lasted one night.
I took it upon myself to make sure it wouldn't happen again, gently urging the offender not to repeat.

Now that you know, I hope the soundfile makes more sense.

Stay forever Heavy,

King."

Wow, thank you, I wanted to see them so bad, they played Larry;s Hideaway I think, but I didn't know that anybody could get in, that they almost never asked for ID there cuz it was a dive.
This came from King Diamond himself?

He was talking about the bootleg on his website the king diamond/mercyful fate coven forum,people were trying to figure out what he got mad at and he posted that a short time later.
