  • Gamer, influencer and incredibly talented frontwoman, I got to sit down with the gothic metal legend Cristina Scabbia over some tea, and it was impressively awesome. Not only did we connect on things like Diablo, but how she creates the astounding sounds she does and has dominated the industry for as many decades as she has. This is an interview you do not want to miss!

      Got to hang with her after their set. She was so nice and so humble. She couldn't believe the crowd was singing along with her. She looked like she was about to cry. She was so blown away. It was such a good concert!

    I ADORE Cristina. I first discovered Lacuna Coil when I was around 13 (21 years ago), and I was so amazed by their music and I *still* listen to them today. Definitely one of my all-time top favorite bands, and I'm glad Lacuna Coil is still here and still making music today.

    I met Christina many years ago when they played in the Rosetta Bar in Belfast. They had to cut the gig short because Andrea tripped over the drum riser & hurt his shoulder so badly he couldn't sing. Christina & the rest of the band came out & spent ages talking to the fans after they finished playing. It will also please you to know that i'm playing a Dungeons & Dragons computer game while listening to this :)

    That's amazing how one of the greatest female voices in history of metal have never thought about being pressured into certain style. That shows a true class of Cristina.

    Anyway, I’ve been a fan of Lacuna Coil since the early 2000’s and have always been a fan of Cristina’s voice and sound. Since finding her on social media…it’s just crazy how grounded and down to earth she is. I am so glad this interview finally happened and always look forward to new material from this band and this amazing person.
    “The Ghost Woman and the Hunter” and “Falling” are tracks that always bring tears to my eyes. They tell amazing emotional stories and her voice has such feeling in it, it’s not hard to believe that pain.
    Overall…this interview had me geeked and I’m so glad this opportunity came about for you to sit down and speak with her.

  • @Qirronis
    @Qirronis Рік тому +6

    She mentioned the band Paradise Lost three times in this interview… they are kinda low-key legends that are credited with “inventing” the Gothic Metal genre, and also pioneering in the doom metal genre.
    They have had a long career, and are known for good songwriting, and their evolution. There is a reason Cristina and Lacuna Coil are so influenced by them. When she said that she listens to “sadder” music when she is sad, anyone who is in the know and hears that instantly goes “she’s talking about Paradise Lost, very likely”… and also when she said “metal is also melody”.
    Discovering Paradise Lost is not like discovering any other band. You would like them. They have “some” Metallica-feel to them at times (James Hetfield) is a fan I’ve heard.) But they have also done a lot of different things. They were one of the first to start mixing metal with electronic beats… if you ask Cristina, she will tell you just how important and influential they are, and have been to almost ALL the metal you have come to love (not including metal bands from the eighties and backwards of course)…
    They are like one of the music industry’s best kept legendary secrets. Discovering Paradise Lost makes SO much else in metal today fall into place. You wouldn’t believe how many acts who are way “bigger” than them consider Paradise Lost to be “the quiet unsung heroes, in the corner”. I can guarantee you also, mental health wise, their musical has probably helped countless people… few bands lyric wise so deeply reflect the human condition with an insightful honesty that makes you really think.

    Yeah, her work on Ayreon's "The Theory of Everything" was awesome. She brought a lot to that album. I'd head Lacuna Coil prior to that, but it wasn't until I heard that album, that it really hooked me. That was a very good collaboration.
    It's funny, I'm generally familiar with the artists Arjen works with before those collaborations. When a new album is announced, I go through the line-up and see who's going to be on it. You get that little endorphin rush from seeing those names from people you've listened to for years. It's like instant validation, if someone I listen to makes the cut, it means I have damn good taste, lol.
    Honestly, when I saw Christina listed on that album, my initial reaction was... "Where have I heard that name before?" It didn't jump out at me, but I knew there had to be something there if she was on the album.
    Then when I heard her on that album, it was more like "Oh Shit, I've been missing out by not listening to this band". I went back and got a few albums from Lacuna Coil, and now I'm hooked. There's just so much new stuff coming out on the metal scene, it took that extra push to really get my attention, but I'm glad it did. She's an amazing vocalist, and has a very unique sound.

    Must be honest I’ve never listened to the band but have heard of them. She comes across as a lovely humble lady and very at ease chatting.

    I've always loved Lacuna Coil and esp. Cristina. I've met her a few times and shes always been so friendly, sweet, kind and real. Her voice is sublime. Love you Cristina,

    What a fun interview, I found Lacuna Coil 20 some years ago with Comalies and have followed them ever since. I am glad to see that she is as genuine as her public persona appears.

    I bought Comalies without ever having heard the band. I happened to see the cd, and it had a sticker that said "On tour now with Type O Negative". Yes, I sometimes bought albums based on who the band was touring with. I was just like Elizabeth. I heard Cristina's first vocal line in Swamped and was obsessed. I think I replayed the song 3 times before even getting to Heaven's a Lie. Absolutely love their music but that song has remained my favorite

    Thank you Elizabeth! I've enjoyed your channel, and like to see musician's and artists delve into new types of music like you have with your channel. But having Christina on - she is My Favorite current female singer, and lands in my top 5 of all time (don't worry she's in good company). I really think she is the best female singer currently in Rock right now. I literally get "goose bumps" when I hear her sing. Excellent band from musicianship, to song writing. Glad to see them tough it out and stay together with Covid, and all the other stuff bands must deal with (like particularly, in America anyway, the state of the major music/record companies who don't know their head from their arse. Consequently, Lacuna Coil not getting hardly any promotion in the U.S. That's downright criminal. Current American music and bands just "suck" right now. You have to suck to get any promotion these days. While rest of the world is leaving us behind. What's up with every American rock band hiring "cookie monster" to do the vocals? Because it sure as hell not singing!). Thanks again so much for this interview! Lacuna Coil Rocks! (sorry, but I'm a musician, drums, piano/keyboards and music has been No. 1 in my life since I first heard Elvis when I was like 7 years old). "Life without Music (and drums) would be a Mistake!" lol.

    I remember in the late 90s, I was searching for new bands to listen to. I found Lacuna Coil on a website I can't even remember. There was only Hyperfast available to listen to but I fell in love with the band! Cristina's voice was so distinctive... dark yet sparkly, eerie but familiar at the same time! I've contacted them and to my surprise, Cristina herself emailed me back! We talked about music in general, about Lacuna Coil and she asked about my band! She's one of the most down to earth artist I've ever met!

  • @MetalMinion3

    Lacuna Coil were one of the first metal bands I got into, back in the early 2000s when I was first discovering the genre. And Cristina's vocals were a big part of that falling in love with the band. Glad you were able to do an interview with this amazing singer/person.
    When writing this comment, I was trying to think of the next muscian you should do next. But you seem to have done over a dozen with those I love listening to. However, 1 I see you haven't done is Lindsey Stirling. I know you focus on singers, but Lindsey has also done some singing in her discography. Plus she's just an amazing person and muscian in general, from the interviews I have seen her do. On top of this, her story of how she broke into the music scene is a heartfelt one.

    I have a double crush on Cristina! Numero Uno is the fact she is a nerd, into gaming and metal and is a badass singer live and her music is exceptional and blows me away. Numero Dos is she is so beautiful it pains me, inside and out. What a lovely human being... I could listen to her singing every day and it would be a good life.

    It's so interesting about Cristina being not sure about if someone wanted to collaborate... I think she's the best operatic singer in metal, and best of the greatest voices point. She and Courtney LaPlante are my favorite singers. I haven't listened to Lacuna Coil too much these days, but I still adore Cristina's voice so much.

    I feel so relieved to hear that one of the sigers I look up to the most adresses the issue of how stressful recording can be and YES! I dont feel like i'm doing a good job when recording vocals because I dont feel acquainted to the song. I dont feel so lonely in this topic. :3
