Oh Tilo is very beautiful. I like the music of the group Lacrimosa :)

He never was a Gothic idol, simply because he did never play Goth. In the heyday of the Goth movement, nobody cared about Lacrimosa.

[@DARKCITYviper]

Seriously? Maybe it is so because when he was creating the roots and basics of gothic metal you were in the kindergarden?

[@daisaigai7]

Sorry to disappoint you, but at that time i was already a member of the Dark Wave scene which has died in the mid-'90s. The late '90s was a mess, an era of big bullshit music. If you think that Lacrimosa laid the roots of Gothic Metal, you are pretty fucked. It was Christian Death and Celtic Frost who started the Gothic Metal thing back in the late '80s. Celtic Frost co-operated with Manü Moan, singer of female Dark Wave band The Vyllies. Bands such as Paradise Lost were fans of Celtic Frost. And Lacrimosa? Nobody cared about this guy. He was pretty irrelevant. The Lacrimosa hype statred in the mid-90s after Goth and Wave music was pretty dead..

Celtic Frost. An iconic proto-black-metal band started gothic. LOL. Christian Death played gothic rock - yep, okay. Paradise Lost in their beginnig played fucking DOOM metal not gothic.

[@daisaigai7]

You talked about Gothic METAL, not Gothic. That's a big difference. Yes, Celtic Frost created a prototype of Gothic Metal back in 1987. Read some music magazines of that time. They literally wrote that Celtic Frost must inspire hordes of Grufties (German word for Goths), because the music was so heavily Goth-influenced. You must know that Tom Warrior was a big fan of Christian Death, Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees... In the mid-80s, Warrior started painting his face white and his eyes black. Listen to a Celtic Frost song like "Mesmerized". That's where Paradise Lost adopted their sound. Greg Macintosh was a Goth back in the' 80s. Paradise Lost also took a lot of inspiration from Fields of the Nephilim and Sisters of Mercy. They started as a Doom/Death band, but their second album "Gothic" was Celtic Frost-esque Gothic Metal. Christian Death played Goth and American Death Rock. Rozz Williams was the singer. But later, Valor Kand took over and moved Christian Death to a more Metal-influenced band. Nothing new about that.
