This woman is so underrated, it's criminal...

[@hakimdu07]

True

[@Dreadpiratetrucker]

I agree 👍

[@emiliabeleiu6887]

She is cool

[@kingjoe3rd]

i love the a tous le monde set me free version she did with Megadeth

[@lamentate07]

I've met a lot of musicians in my time, but Christina Scabbia is easily one of the friendliest I've ever come across. I've met her twice and she was amazing both times.

[@User31129]

You're lucky! I was at an Amaranthe concert in 2014 and two of the guys met us outside, but Elize Ryd didn't come out!

[@IvanChernenko]

Daniel V Why?

[@gudalpesanz]

dios bananos Celebrities are not nice. They are cortidal. They say what they need in order to get where they are or need to be and if that means being nice to a bunch of grovaling idiots that's what they'll do. Some rock stars are better at it than others, she just happens to be good at it.

[@IvanChernenko]

Have you taken an autograph and selfie with Cristina?

[@brettratell165]

I met her after one of the Gigantour dates. She is such a nice person!

[@rahjeel]

I love it when Cristina mentioned the demo cassette tapes back in the 90's 😂😂 her slight expression of "damn Im old" is so cute. 😍

[@TheJonathanDale]

Back in 2003 my wife and I met Cristina after a show. My wife was starstruck and wanted a photo but accidentally asked to take a shower instead of a photo.

[@keystonedaytrip238]

Jonathan Dale ....... and ?

[@fireplacedude23]

Definitely a better request than a photo.

[@toxicwhitestraightmalebigo6091]

Maybe he got both his requests.

Did you get the photo?

How is She

[@missy610]

It's funny how people usually view metal singers as really aggressive, dark and depressive but when you talk to them they always turn out to be the most chilled, friendly and polite people in the world!

[@mar666lo]

I once asked her "so, were you bitten by a vampire? you look great" and she said "maybe" with that lovely smile she has

[@Posirep]

i mean, Andrea does sound like a stereotypical Dracula when he speaks lol

[@erikvarusio]

As underrated they might be in US, they wouldn't be here after 20 years if they didn't somehow break through there. Believe me, in italy they're basically nobodies - obviously metal in general isn't that big down here

She really is nice. So is the rest of the band. They played a small show in my state and just for the heck of it they came at sat at the tables to sign things and talk between sets. I bought a CD when I was there for them to sign but come to find out they already pre-signed it so the only thing we could find was the back of a Shadows Fall poster. They thought it was hilarious.

[@Bedroom_Musician]

well said... i believe that's true, much respect #christina

[@andreapac]

I met her and had the chance to speak with her here in Italy. One of the most humble and kind person I ever met.

+LotusEater14 It really is crazy how much he has improved overall. The material kept me watching all this time, but G has finally come into his own and helped make this show much more entertaining. Kudos to him for not giving up.

[@coalhalo]

+Loudwire You come across as more comfortable as well as more confident. Just wanted to let you know that your Wikipedia fact or fiction is one of my favorite things on KZbin. I watch them all regardless of if I like the person you are sitting with or their bands music. Please keep up the good work with fact or fiction and your other interviews for loud wire

[@saltedcrypts4780]

[@crazyhorsemusx7767]

[@bellamy0160]

Crazy's BB's and Boolits same goes with me !! I discovered Lacuna Coil later , but I fell in love with them instantly

[@crazyhorsemusx7767]

Clara Di Luca hech yeah! the only other artists I listen to on a daily basses are Ozzy, Black Label Society, Lacuna Coil, and joe bonamassa. These bands are wonderful and as far as lacuna coil goes....they have such a unique sound. From a mixing standpoint it just sounds tits on a good stereo, the engineer behind the mixing is a flipping genius :)

[@C.N.A.C.]

Regarding being the "first woman" to do so many of the things she's done; I think the fact that she's not trying to be the "first woman" helps. She's accomplished so many firsts because she doesn't let herself get distracted by her gender. She's not a WOMAN metal singer; she's a metal singer.

[@ManticoreSigma]

Preach!

[@felipeozalmeida]

Well said!

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Absolutely!

[@carliiuxiiz]

I'm ashamed to admit that I had never heard of LC until I bought my kids Rock Band. But I've been hooked on them since the first time I heard "Our Truth".

[@BarekHalfhand]

I think that was my first exposure to lacuna coil as well

[@authenticallytrish]

I sang to Comalies every day for a year in my youth working to train my voice. Christina Scabbia’s voice and this whole band is like an entire universe within itself. Meant so much to me ❤️

[@courtneyhill4233]

Me too girl! Loved it

[@angelarigido7161]

Training your voice. I believe natural singing talent is best..and if you're trying to SOUND like Cristina, GOOD LUCK to you. Keep your job at McD's!!!!

[@authenticallytrish]

@@angelarigido7161 that’s like saying a natural body is best and you should never exercise it. Good luck as a 300 lb whale!!

[@angelarigido7161]

No! It's like you just want people to like your idiocy in words, and know you have an equal. People are very brave from behind a screen. I've never read such a stupid comparison to anything in my entire life. Let me guess...you're really 12? You would call somebody a whale because they weigh 300lb? Insensitive narcissists also make terrible singers. Don't YOU agree? Anything colourful a person wears on their face shows signs of an insecurity complex...so you don't want to weigh 300lbs..so you wear a goofy headband instead. Makes sense..to the mentally ill I suppose. Best to run along, before mama catches you on her youtube act again.

[@angelarigido7161]

Singing metal to me, is Death, Mayhem, and Burzum. I sang in Black Sabbath tribute band for 13 years...lol. WHAT type of female metal singer are you btw?...with the look you have, they must be RUNNING

COMALIES SOUNDS LIKE IT CAME FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION! it gave me chills and took me to one every time I listened to it! The fact that she says she actually felt like she was in another dimension translating that album into this one makes total sense, I 100% agree she did that and very well

[@ajackofdiamonds]
