Andy La Roque is the 1980s Glen Buxton

[Swampy]

Buxton was such a talent. Without him, Alice could never have been credible. And in my opinion, Andy is the main reason King Diamond was 1,000,000 times better than Mercyful Fate. Robert Plant and David Lee Roth also benefited from amazing guitar playing, but maybe not to this extent. You guys got anybody else? Or maybe you just want to yell at me for saying King Diamond was better than Mercyful.

 

[Crimson Glory]

His work on Abigail with King Diamond and with Death was some of my favorite guitar playing.

The riffs in the titular track Abigail are the only reason I enjy listening too that song(I like a bit of Mercyful Fate, but I really can't stand King Diamonds vocals)

His work on Individual Thought Patterns was great too and according too Wiki, he also did a guest solo on Cold by At The Gates.
