Long time King Diamond's guitar maestro, Andy Larocque, had departed the band. Gus G is the new replacement. Larocque had been at the helm for 40 years. It pretty much defined his career. The way I see it, Laroque doesn't sit well with inactivity, so together with Dee, Blakk & Patino, they are entitled to keep their mojo going while they still can. Nothing against the King, but music-wise, it's a good move for Larocque & gang.
