I'd say Van Halen's history as a metal band should give them some leeway, even if they weren't truly metal at that point. And I'm pretty sure US doesn't much like Mercyful Fate, so I don't imagine he likes King Diamond any better.
I need to listen to more KD actually. I've listened to enough Mercyful Fate over the years, but I've been really lazy about Diamond's solo material. I'm pretty sure I've actually only listened to Abigail once, and maybe a smattering of his other songs.
