Well,my friends,
it's time for a "part 3", as a lot of you guys requested.
I'll be reading, I'll be listening, I'll be giving you my answers, my advices...whatever it is, giving you my point of view.
Straight. Sincere. 100% CRistina.
So, let's start with your questions. About life, about me, about music, about Lacuna coil,about yourself as well (I might help).

I'm here, let it go,spit it out.

Love and hornz up!!!
CRistina

p.s. I might NOT answer to some questions I have answered to in the other blogs...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What inspired you to get into music? I'm glad you did! by Blair
**To be honest it just happened to be a profession for me. I always loved to sing but I had not the dream to become a inger in a band, cause I was shy to perform in public. I'm glad I did it as well, cause now music is he reason why I take every single breath.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is your favorite place to play live? by Kandydevil
**There is more than one place, I cant name one. Most of all I like to play where the crowd interacts with us on stage. Where the crowd loves to get nuts. Where the crowd wants to rock with us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina, when are you guys comming out with a DVD? and what is going to be the next single off of Karmacode? My guess is "what I see". oh and. should I get another Lacuna Coil tattoo? I am still debating over it. Mwah! Thanks for listening. =)
by Clem
**Maybe next year, when it'll happen to be Lacuna coil's 10th anniversary. Next single? We will see... I dunno about the tattoo, if it's something you want on yourself for the rest of your life and means a lot to you, yes. Plus, we have a killer logo! Go for it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to start a band... like so many other people do....What should I do, besides the basic find people, and get songs written? by Tara
**Well, just jam and have fun first. You have to create the alchemy in between the members and let the creativity flows...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you, or anyone in the band in that matter, ever studied music in school, or do you all just have a natural talent for writing and playing music? by Brianne
** Some of us had some music lessons, like Criz, Andrea or Maus. I personally never did.I'm a lazy bum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, CRistina 100% Humane!
Again, you are an amazing woman!
But the question:
Since you are quite influencial as an icon, would you ever consider to go into the world of politics.
If I read your standpoints and your beautiful lyrics, I figure that my joking about CRistina 4 President isn't all that silly!
I truly wish that 2007 is going to be a year in which the balance of our society is coming back, which would also mean that you would be fronting the most influencial band of the world ofcourse!
HugZ! by Eddy
**If you mean that I could be a sort of a politic standing for REAL rights, like the right to be creative without being considered offensive, the right to be free to wear whatever I want, he right to drink a beer on the street without being considered an alcoholic, the right to respect the rest of the people around me but being always free to say whatever I feel.. then yes, I would go for it.
But I fucking hate politic and politics, so I guess I'll keep on "working" on my own rules...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok ok...here's one....my friend would like me to ask... LOL How much, just in interest, would it cost...pending that it is okay with your manager and it doesn't interfere with your tour schedule, would it cost to come and play at someone's party? by Tara
**I don't know, we never did it. Probably if it would fit with time (and THAT would be a miracle) we could do it for free. But it would be really hard to make it happens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With all the touring...Do you ever feel like you've just had ENOUGH! Or like you or your beautiful voice just need a serious break (or do you just know when to slow down)? And If so, how do you relax, or cope with stress?
:thanx for doing this again!!!by autoerotic..[asphyxiation]
**After few months on the road you NEED to recharge the batteries. Especially when you sing, you can't just changethe strings like a guitar. You need to rest. So, yes, I deal with stress sometimes, but I feel blessed to do what I do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you enjoy horror movies? I know you toured with Rob Zombie so im sure some of that had to have rubbed off on ya. lol! Stay Foxy, foxy
~Keenan (Horror Guy)
**Sure I LOVE them, even if I prefere psychologic thrillers like "Saw", or "The others" to give you an example. Definitely "House of a 1000 corpses" rules! I'm in love with Captain Spaulding!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two questions I've been wanting to ask you, so here goes:

1. Which version do you personally prefer; Falling, or Falling Again?
and
2. After seeing you guys play live, I noticed you have probably the most amazing stage presence I have ever seen in a band. Period. I was wondering if you could give any advice to me (an aspiring musician) as to how to really get my energy to come through while on stage. I have a bit of stage fright, and I'm not really sure how to go about curing it. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Thanks for doing this, you guys are truly an inspiration. <3
Krissie
**Hey Krissie,
1)Probably Falling again, just cause is better produced. I wish I could make a better production out of it anyway, it's a great song.
2)Let yourself go without thinking about the crowd in front of you. Feel the music, fel the adrenaline in yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Lacuna Coil ever going to tour Australia any time soon???
I really am dying to see you guys play live!!
by Inside my head, you're all dead...
**We were supposed to play over there this year but then other tours came out. Probably 2007 will be the right time. Thanks for the support!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina
I lost my father in Nov. One of the things that help me get through the night when the pain is at its worse is to listen to Lacuna Coil. I have everyone of your songs downloaded on my computer. I hit play and go off into another world.
My question is have you ever been in a similar situation and if so did listening to music help? I'll take any advise you can give.
Your The Best by John
**I'm really sorry for your father, and you.I haven't experienced a big loss so far. It'll happens one day cause unfortunately it's the only sure thing in life. I'm sure music helps, cause it makes your deep feelings free. Just so you know I really believe that your father is stillthere, just not anymore as a phisical presence, but he's there, for sure. Around you, IN you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
is there one song to characterize yourself and why? And maybe, how is is it expressed in your own words? by Vanik: Ready for a kill, Crazy about her
**Mmmh, I don't think so. I have to think about it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cara cristina, ti scrivo in italiano visto che mi sono appena svegliata e la voglia di scrivere in inglese è pochissima.
poichè hai la voce più bella che io abbia mai sentito, riesci a trasmettermi emozioni e sensazioni a cui pochissime altre voci si avvicinano, e poichè c'è questa possibilità di contatto con te che trovo una cosa semplicemente fantastica, volevo chiederti qualche consiglio per mantenere sempre "buona" la voce (anche io mi diletto a cantare :P ) e per migliorarla....qual migliore maestra di te!!! ;)
mai smetterò di farti miliardi di complimenti!!!
un abbraccio
Marty
**Cio Marty, grazie dei complimenti. I "trucchi" che uso? Dormire tantissimo, bere poco in tour, non fumare. Nei casi gravi in cui ho la voce spaccata bevo una mistura di succo di limone, radice fresca di zenzero e miele, con acqua calda. Tutto qui. E IN TEORIA dovrei parlare il meno possibile, ma mi e' impossibile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What inspires you most to write your lyrics?
Blessings Be
Nyx x
**Life.

I titoli delle canzoni in cui hai cantato prima dei lacuna coil. love you ^^by ..Twilight Moth..

** I have no idea but it ould be SOOOOOOOOO cool! Ask the promoters over there, they have to request us!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina, if you weren't in music professionally, what would you be doing and why?
by Samantha
**I have different options: I would be a cook, a clothing designer or a stylist for portraits pictures.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well, hi cristina...

Ok Cristina, I have two questions for you, 1. Your favorite thing that you cherish most? and 2. Do you write in a Journal Or a Diary to write your thoughts? by ..Alisha (Virgo)..
**1) My family, my friends, my boyfriend, my life, my health. 2) No, I used to do that years and years ago, no I like better to take pics of the different moments of my life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi cristina im from mexico san luis rio colorado sonora, You are such an amaizing band, from all this years of career and musicians where did all you get the inspiration to be a better band, because its difficult to stand this days to be one of THE BANDS of the year by Introspectiva
**It's all about keeping it real. If you are honest in your passion in music, if you like to rock, if you love what you do, the rest of the world will follow you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ciao cristina! la mia domanda: come vivi il fatto di essere una delle poche donne famose e con tanto talento nella scena metal mondiale?
tanti complimenti, e sopratutto grazie perchè hai sempre tanto affetto x i tuoi fans e, personalmente, mi dai coraggio: dimostri sempre che se ci si impegna a fondo si possono raggiungere al meglio i propri obiettivi!
buon 2007, che ti porti tanta serenità e cose belle. by *ALICE*
**Onestamente? Mi sento come ero prima di diventarlo. Ho gli stessi amici veri, le stesse passioni, e sono sempre rimasta me stessa, lsciando ad altri i divismi che reputo inutili.
Perche' si puo' e si deve essere personaggi in foto e durante un concerto, ma scesi dal palco bisogna tornare "veri". Grazie delle belle parole.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well first of all u fuck-N- RoCK! Ur the fuk-N- baddest ch!ck -N- metal period. Hands down!
You are a huge inspiration in my life. Each and everyone of ur songs means a lot to me.
Okay my three questions are....
1) When are u guys coming back to Arizona again?
2) Have you ever considered playing on the Navajo Reservation(Arizona)?
3) Wuts are your favorite sports in America so far?
Thxs A lot by tootles!!
**1) Probably March, stay tuned!!!
2)I'd love that, I'm so curious to know more about the indians history as well.
3) In the US I would say skateboard and windurf.
Take care!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ha I saw this blog and couldn't pass it up. So Cristina, when life seems to lose all it's charm, what (or who) do you personally turn to? by Michael
**People I care about and people who cares about me. No matter how bad life is, with good friends around you everything looks brighter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you ever get tired of all the limelight and just want to go off where there are no fans, no tour, no studios?~~~Ra Lyr
**Not really. Because if I want to do that I can do that whenever I want. It's not easy to spot me around when I don't want to be recognized. It's even funnier when people see any girl with black hair in the venue and they automatically think it's me!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, Cristina. What are you doing for New Years? :p by Caz
**I think I'll stay home for a romantic night with my boyfriend. I have enough of clubs at the moment :-D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ciao cristina non vorrei essere indiscreta: tu e marco come avete superato la fine della storia e siete andati avanti? scusa ancora per la domanda se non ti va non risp ^_^ ti voglio troppo bene!!!! by valeasile
**Si, siamo rimasti amici e ci vorremo sempre molto bene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay. I have the question that has been killing me for ages.
In 100% HONESTY,
How tall are you? :p by Everybody's Bestfriend. :)
**About 5.3, 5.4. I'm tiny.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello
My name is jazmine, friends cal me jazzi, but i just wanted to tell you that your my idol, You Inspire Me, Your Beautiful And I Love Your Voice, but i have a question, what do you do before each show to excersise your voice? by jazzi-
** Few seconds (literally...) of some random "lalala".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ciao, Cri! Just wondering, are you planning having kids (soon)? I guess you'd have the most beautiful little coilers in the world :) by Anna ~Sangria~
** No, it's not in the plans. But I would LOVE to have some pets around my house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
saying every kind of question is possible might be a little dangerous, cause here's the attack of nonsense-questions:
if there were no TVs, towards what would we arrange our sofas?
ok, a serious one here as well:
what does annoy you about fans? or: what shouldn't fans do if they don't want to annoy/upset/offend you? by Hell's Angi
**1)Ur...
2) The fact that some of them think that if you don't answer all the mails you're an ego bitch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cioa bella, come stai?=)
i would like to know what do you think about mexicain people and culture??=) you love Mexico? see you!=) i love you!!! by aLaN
**I love Mexico, we just played there and it's been INSANE!
Plus I love the art, the culture, the food. And you have a good tequila. Jajajajjjjjjjjjjj!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina!
My questions are: In a world that is slowly being taken over by female- fronted bands, what unique qualities do you think Lacuna Coil bring to the table?
What do you really think of people like myself- and many others- who have the Lacuna Coil logo tattooed forever on their skin?Thanks!
SBx
Ps. Happy ne year! by SarahB
**Well, first of all we are one of the first bands who used two vocalists including a female, 10 years ago. Then the fact that we can go from more melodic songs to more kick ass songs in few secondss. And we are not a band put together by a label just for business. And we write our own music having complete control of our own image...Should I go on?
About tattoos. Despite whatever you want tattooed on your skin, I'm more concerned about the fact our music in any way, changed the life of the person who wants this tattoo. If this is the case, yes, I support the choice. But if it's just a moment of your life, than no, I wouldn't tattoo an LC or any other band's logo on the skin.
Happy new year!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina!
I hope you had a wonderful Xmas,
and I wish you all the best there is for the coming year.
Two little questions:
- how do you feel after this amazing tour and beeing away so long from your home? Joy for this tour was fun? Joy for you're at home anew? Satisfaction? Relief? Whatever???
- did you ever feel like recording an album without Lacuna Coil but with friends of yours (vocalists or not, famous or not), just for fun, even if it were only for playing covers from the bands you like?
Much love too by Sa Majesté de Lac Placide
**I feel great, the tours were successful and with cool people around. I'm still spending my vacations at the moment, so it's even better. I would say satisfaction. Happiness. Time to relax for a bit before we kick ass again soon.
I'd like to do something in music with other people, but it would be just because I either like the project or it's with friends. To go back with Lacuna coil after, of course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you keep your vocals in pristine condition? You always sound amazing at live shows. I've seen Lacuna Coil 3 times and you never cease to amaze me. by Trent
**I answered above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Cristina!
First of all - thanks for giving us such an opportunity, its the best of feedbacks for the fans who can't just go to a show and speak to you because of living far-far away.
So.. I've got some questions, of course it's not all of those I'd love to ask you but maybe some time later ;-)))
1. I've always been wondering what inspired you to write Distant Sun? This one is definitely my favourite song of Lacuna Coil ever, so it's quite interesting for me..
2. What you think is more important in a song - music or words? (yes, I know that their mixture is better but still :-) )
3. You've been touring with a plenty of bands during your career. Are there bands you still would love to tour with? Or to bring back the memories and to tour with some band once more?
4. I would love to see some photos from your childhood. Will you release them to the net some day? :o))))
Um, that's it. But would love to add that we can't wait for you here in Russia (ok ok I'll finish with it! :P)
Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Take care, by Marina
**Hey there! It's a pleasure for me to answer as soon as it's pretty much impossible to answer everybody every day.
1)Distant sun it's been inspired by people who lost other important people in life. Talks about the fact that the souls, the memories will always stay alive.
2)Honestly? I personally love the music. And with music I mean the "sound" of the words themselves. Some lyrics of some bands are very cool but the sound is a little weird an doesn't fit that well.
3) For sure Type o negative and Rob Zombie. RESPECT. Period.
4) Maybe I'll post some of them, in the future!
Happy holidays!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina,
What was your inspiration in getting behind Rezophonic and creating a killer song to help with water in Africa? by Jarrod
**I just got a call from my good friend Mario Riso, who's behind the organisation and I immediately said yes. It's a great way to be part of something amazingly important and to be absolutely sure that all the money will finally go in the right direction.
Did you know that you can build a well that will provide water to about 300 people, for only 2500 euros?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina,
Not sure you can answer this yet, but what is the next single off the album, and did you film the video for it yet? Thank you. by Byron
**We are still deciding the song. A new video will be shot in January February, I'll keep you guys updated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you find bullriders attractive? Have you ever gone to a rodeo or a bullriding before? If u haven't you should definitily go to a PBR (professional bullriding). It might be crazy the first time, but its cool to watch. Take care by $MoNeYmAkEr$
**Er...Honestly I've never thought about something like that. I guess a person is interesting despite the profession!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi
1 anychance of a live dvd ive heard you have said there will never be one why?
2what do you feel about all the female fronted bands that are everyway some tryinng to be your band
3what do you feel about the pagan metal scene could you see one of them supporting you on tour
4 when are you gonna tour the uk again cheers by steve
**1) Never said "never". Next year , probably.
2)I wish them good luck. Every band starts inspired by others. They'll find heir own way.
3)What do you mean for pagan metal scene? I think that if a band is valid and I like the music it would be ok for me having it as a support. When I meet somebody I don't ask for the "religious ID".
4)There's not a tour planned but maybe a surprise around March...can't say more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name your top 3 inspirations in life right now..
(ie; a person, a recent band you've seen/heard, a book you've read, etc.)
have a good new year! by yo VICTORIA!
**Based on instinct I would say:1) Life itself. 2)The past (and I mean the new experiences done lately, the cities I saw, the people I met) 3)Sacha Baron Cohen and his "Borat the movie".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! I know Lacuna Coil has played in many countries around the world but is there one place you want to gig that you haven't been to yet?
I'm from South Africa and we hardly ever have international bands....We did get to see METALLICA here this year which we are all so happy about and Sepultura came to show us how it's done too! We hope it opens a door for other bands to come play here too!
much respect!
METAL!!!!! by Galapogos
**South Africa would be awesome... Then Australia, New Zealand,Thailand,Brasil, Dubai, India, Tukey..basically any place I haven't seen yet.
I want to play in Japan. I know I'm gonna spend ALL my money in action fugures, weird clothes and japanese cartoons.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina! YOU ROCK! I was wondering how you and all the other guys met and decided that you wanted to be in a band together?
Hope to see you next time you tour the US! :) by Kelly
**I was the last one entering the original line up. They were a band already and they asked me to be part of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ciao Cris! Seeenti... X te torna Sheva?AHAHAH! No, nn era qsta la domanda... Ho sentito ke farete un tour acustico in America, e mi kiedevo se c'è in programma anke qlc x "casa nostra"... Sn stata a sentirvi a Roncade ed è stato uno dei giorni + belli della mia vita ahahah!! Sxo di nn dover venire fino in America x sentirvi di nuovo! Buon 2007!! Besos by MartiCorr
**Per ora no, anche perche' abbiamo fatto delle date italiane a Settembre durante il tour headline...ma visto come va il mio lavoro potrebbero esserci novita' da un momento all'altro! Non confermo nessuna voce di un tour acustico in America.
E secondo me Sheva torna, si. O almeno vorrebbe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina,
What do you do to keep yourself busy in between performances while you are touring with Lacuna Coil? by Anthony Longo
**From visiting the town I'm in the day of the gig, to sleep, to shop in a mall, to play videogames or to whatch a movie , everything is good to spend time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Christina,
Name 3 of your all time faveorite movies of all time and why, Also what was your faveorite movie of 2006?
Jonny H,
XXX by Jonny H: The Emporer
** Not favourites of all the time but cool movies to watch or rewatch: 1) Zoolander 2) In the name of the rose 3) Borat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina-you rock-What made Lacuna Coil choose English lyrics/singing versus Italian (excluding Senzafine) since you are all from Italy? Saw you at Webster Theatere 12/7/06!!! by Larvyrnia Vamp
**It just sounds better to us. And to improve my english is a challenge every day. I like challenges.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina,
how do you feel about todays music scene?
Thanks for your music, happy new year and greetings from Germany by Michael Siegwarth
*I feel frustrated when I see so many bands on tv sounding exactly the same, looking exactly the same, with the same haircut. Not that you have to create something new but at least not to be just like another band, on purpose.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina I hope your Christmas was a good one and you had a peaceful time away from all the touring! :)
At any point since you have been in Lacuna Coil has there ever been a time when a fan has ever said anything or done anything to you that has worried you? by Diane
**No, cause I hope they care about me the same way I care about them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a question.
Could God create a burrito so hot that even he could not pick it up? by Ryan
**No. He's God after all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you could invite one person, dead or alive, round to dinner who would it be and what would you talk about?? by Em
** Uh, too many!!!!! From Ben Stiller to Will Farrel, from Hugh Hefner to Madonna, from Ofra Haza to Sacha Baron Cohen, from Will Farrell to Cameron Diaz... too many.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You never said just one question, soo...
In your general interests, it says you like videogames. What do you play? Do you have LIVE?
Oh, and you're native to Italy, Italian is your first language...so why are the majority of your songs in English?by Browncoat ..2505
**I like different kinds of games. Beat 'em up like Tekken or Soul Calibur sagas, role pla games like Final Fantasy, games like Grand theft, Tony Hawke's skateboard stuff, or something oldie ut good like Max Payne (I LOVED IT!!!!!!) or Resident evil and Silent hill. And...have you played with guitar hero already?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina
1. Is there any band you would never want to tour with?
2. When is the Lacuna Coil DVD coming out? Are there plans for that already?
3. Will you come out with a clothing line?
4. I saw a picture of you and Masuimi Max somewhat kissing are you letting out your in Bi? (laughs)
Have a happy NY ;) by *Glitterdoll*
**1) Well, I don't know. I would say no.
2) Answered already, maybe next year.
3) I'd LOOOOOVE to.
4)No, she's beautiful but I'm straight. I still like men.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you had any superpower what would it be and why? If you've been asked this already then do you prefer summer or winter, sunrises or sunsets? by Bam Ville
**Probably I would want have the power to freeze time and be able, if I want, to turn back time, to adjust little things of my past I would like to change.
Summer for sure, I'm a "sun and hot" person. And sunsets. They are more romantic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yay.....well you keep what you promise...lool...you promised to do «ask me what you want» soone.....:D....
well here it goes first.... how was your christmas? lol....

by Lady A
**It's been cool thank you, hope yours it's been cool as well.
A new work...now t's too early, we are still promoting "Karmacode".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any chance to shoot a video for "Fragile" ?????? :) by Ani
**Maybe...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you get to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D???? If so what did you think? Much better than the second one of course :P by Metal Ninja
**Not yet. I'm sure it's awesme, I'll check it out...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What advice would you give someone who is going through a self-destructive phase and trying to get out of it? by Angelina Ballerina
**Woah, that's a VERY generic question cause I don't know what's the problem.
I guess I would say that life is done of shitty moments as well, but these moments are always leading to happy moments as well and they are teaching something to us to make us better persons. Much love from me whatever you are passing through.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Lacuna Coil coming to colorado anytime soon? by Xx-State of Disgrace-xX
**Probably around March. Stay tuned!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a couple of questions.
1. Have you or anyone in the band gone so long without playing a song that you had to relearn the words or music?
2. Some of your songs have a lot of orchestra and string arrangments. Have you ever thought about doing a live concert with a full orchestra much like Metallica did on the S&M DVD?
Oh and I also want to thank you for your awesome music. It cheered me up during my stay in rehab relearning how to walk. Thanks. by Victor the Shredder
**1) Not really relearn but you definitely need to refresh your memory sometimes.
2) I would love that. And Italy is an awesome place to get some goods classic orchestras.
All the best!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
whae you are not touring where do you stay do you have a place in the states by bill
**My house is still based in Milano.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina! You're so wonderful for doing this. And wonderful in general.
I was just wondering - have you ever become close friends with someone you met as a fan of Lacuna Coil or of yourself?
And also - did you have a nice holiday? :)
-Eli
P.S. Thank you for the amazing music and dedication to your fans - keep it coming!
by Eli
**I definitely did. And I can mention people like Matt , the head of the emptyspiral.net site.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina, this is lovely thing you're doing. I want to ask you many questions but i won't bore you.
So i ask: What has been the best show in your opinion that the band played in 2006? (Not necessarily where the band sounded best but the one you enjoyed the most!)
Thank you
Hope you and the guys have a fantastic New Year! by Maria
**Woah, how to name ONE show when we toured the WHOLE year? Uhm...let say at the Doenload? Damn, it's just one of the best shows but we had a great year!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi,thanx very much for this :)
Is Lacuna Coil ever gonna tour Turkey??any time soon???
you have loads of fans here,i dunno if ur aware of it but, we are dying to see u guys live

this one is a bit personal,think about a young girl who used to be very successful about lessons,has chosen the science class to be an engineer,but recently f*cked up and as a result,lost her all faith,has no hope about attending to uni coz she thinks she can never manage it..so what would you do?..now i feel like all this "future plans" fade away and the only one thing that keeps me awake is music(i play guitar in a band with a buch of friends)..in Turkey,almost every job about music--or art-- has a little money,its impossible to live with..i'm all stuck..i need some serious advice..especially from you,coz you have already done this issue..should i hang on and study more to do a serious job(automotive engineering,which i dreamed about since i was little),or follow to my heart and be a musician...
rock on -- take care by Gokce
**I think that either study or music you should really follow whatever gets you more motivated. Maybe you are fucking it up just cause it's not the right moment to study in the proper way, but I mean, you have plenty of time and plenty of possibilities in life. Cheer up!

Miss Cristina, here is my question:
In the future, what would you like people to say when they mention Lacuna Coil? In other words, how would you like to be remembered? by ....::Teh Silent One::....
**like a band that wrote good songs and it's keeping it real every single day. Like a band who's not scared to show the human side beside the rokstar's face.

Is Lacuna Coil playing at Ozzfest 2007? by **Fatima** [compton cr3w] [MCRmy]
**I don't know but I doubt it. We played at the Ozzfest in 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
since your band is one of the best to feature the female vocalist/heavy sound format, what do you think of other bands who are doing this sound, too? (Nightwish, Evanescence, etc) by J.
**Nothing really, I have so many more important things to think about, seriously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Cristina,,
What was the impression MEXICO left on you last time you were here (2 and 3 of December 2006), not only the shows and the crowd reaction (I was in both shows and it rocked) but also the promoters treatment, the promoters organization, the fans you met in person, at the signing sessions or on the street (I met u in Monterrey a couple of times :o) ), the cities, the culture, the people in general...
And finally.. honestly,,,do you remember me? hahaha here is a picture (direct link) of when we met in Monterrey:

**Hey Dave! Mexico was great man. Everything, the places we played in, the fans in the signing sessions and at the shows, the promoters were the coolest people ever and they treated us in an amazing way, like family.
Can't wait to come back over there, again.

1) I know you have had a number of food related questions. As a student i eat alot of pasta, i was wondering if you could recomend any good recipes?
2) What is your opinion on ginger folk? i believe we are a horribly discriminated race. dont get me wrong though i am secure and comfortable with having ginger hair.
Rock on -Dan by d-basser, THE Ginger Bassist
**I have TONS of recipies to share! What if I start a spot in the page that gives you a recipe week? Give me suggestions!
2) Ginger hair are AWESOME! Think about all the girls spending lots of money dying their hair and you have them for free!

Hi Cristina!
I noticed a big difference in LC's sound from Comalies to Karmacode. Karmacode's songs sound as though they were based around the guitar riffs - they were more prominent that the vocal melodies found in Comalies.
Have you any idea's on LC's sound for a new album? And do you think there will be as such a big jump forward in the sound? by Gaz
**We just changed producer, studio we woked in and we co-produced the album. I just wish we had some more time to work on Karmacode, even if I love it. Definitely we wanted to have guitars and rhytmic session in the front , keeping the vocals at the same level with the music, just like other instruments.
Have no idea about the sound we'll use in the future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wassup Cristina! Good to have you here again answering all of our questions! =]
Ok I have a couple of questions:
1. Have you heard of a japanese-Female Vocalist named Akino Arai? I believe both you and her have the most beautiful singing voices in the universe! :D
2. What do you think of today's hip-hop music ?
Thanks, and enjoy you 2007! n_n
-Nem by General_Nemesio
**1) No, sory, I don't know her.
2) I like some hip hop stuff, some grooves are really cool and make me move.

Hello to the lady possessing the most beautiful voice in metal!
My boyfriend and I found ourselves complaining about having to travel 100 mile round trips... twice.... to visit with each of our families for the holidays. We always find ourselves working around everyone elses plans (and his mother "demanded"... ok, requested that we be at their home on Christmas day).
Now that the holidays are (mostly) over, I'm curious as to how you and your boyfriend dealt with "slightly larger" ;) distances travelled during the holidays. (Did one family or the other "demand" that you both be there on Christmas day?)
I hope you both had/have some time to relax and enjoy some time together!
Happy New Year! by SnaKeLady Greta
**I love to travel...and if you want to meet somebody you care for, to travel should be a double pleasure.

Cristina...I am getting married 11/24/07 in Milford, CT USA.....It would be an absolute honor (and a dream come true) if you and/or any members of Lacuna could come....if time and schedules allowed would it be something you, especially, or LC would consider attending as guests, not performers...or am I nutz even considering asking? ;-) by Larvyrnia Vamp
**I wish I could come. But most of all I wish you all the best for your future with him!

The 2nd time in Chicago this year, your vocal style seemed to change a bit. I thought both times were great, but this 2nd time was stunning. I was wondering if it was due to deliberate changes, or just something that happens as you "grow" into playing the new material?
It was a GREAT show. Can't wait til you guys headline! by Lo Pan
**Thank you! Somedays you're just in a better shape. You're less tired or chatever, and plus, is REALLY important how the crowd react. If the people go nuts they get me going for real!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina I have two questions ^_^ The first one is we all know their are stereotypes about well everything. What would you say is the weirdest you've heard about Italians? Number two :P The film school I want to go to is in Italy so of course I want to learn Italian but my school only teaches Japanese, French, and Spanish. What do you think would be another way to learn the language?
by Ari...anna-Molly
**Stereotypes about italian? Where do I start? That we are all mafiosi, that we all have ( even women) moustaches, that we ONLY eat pasta, that we use hand gestures a lot ( and that is true), that we are passionate (...true I would say!!!!).
A good way is to listen to italian songs or watch italian movies wih subtitles. The best way is to be surrounded by italian people being forced to learn the language!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you don't think you're going to make it another day... what gets you by??
by Jme
**I dunno. I've been too busy lately and have so many plans that I go on automatically :-D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its the New Year now hear in the UK my resolution is not to drink for a whole year (honest truth!) whats your resolutions this year? by Diane
** To eat a little less and work out more, but I know I WONT do it. As usual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, hope you had a great holiday season and new years.
First of all, you are amazing live, and seeing you guys made me smile and meeting you for the first time as well.
I like random questions so I'll start off with one.
1 - What would you re-name plante Earth?
2 - If you could create a vidoe for one of your older songs which one and why and do you have an idea for qhat the video would be like?
3 - I am starting to learn Italian in the new yaer as I need to know more then one language for a job I am applying for, so got any advice or tips?
Thanks by ~~Alice in Wonderland~~
** 1)I don't know but I like very much the name Gaia.
2) I would do a very sad and dramatic video for the song "Comalies". I love it.
3) I suggest you to watch subtitled movies and it would be cool if you could be able o chat with some italians that can speak english. This way you could trade lessons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina,
my name is nadia and i just wanted to ask you, when you were a little girl did you alwayz dremt of becoming a musician?...if so did you ever thing you'd get this big?!.....during the whole touring thing which show was your most favorite and why?
thanx and keep it rockin'!!!
Nadia G. *a.k.a NaDZ*
p.s. i showed one of my co-workers a pic of you and he just fell in love with you! by ....Suicide*Messiah....
**No, it happened. I always loved to sing, since I was a little girl, but definitely I had no dreams about becoming a rockstar. Now it's my life (and I mean music, not a cocky rockstar attitude).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina!!! First of all let me tell you that LACUNA COIL ROCKS!!! I really love you guys!!!! and you are soooooo GREAT Cristina. I wish you to have a wonderful new year full of love, joy, success in every aspects of your life and very cheerful and happy!!! I admire so much your talent Cristina, my name is Erick and I'm from Mexico ... I want to become a singer but here it seems so difficult to do that ... I have tried to begin to build my own path but there are so many deceptions, so I wonder if you can tell how did you start to get involve, and how did you continue in that way yo get success, maybe some kind of advices when I'm singing like don't know, the mystic secrets of the art of singing hehe, like what can help you with a good entonantion or to not get panic when you are in the escene, or how muchdo practice in the day, please every kind of advice that you want and you can give will be so well received ... plus, I'm 18 so I'm kinda young and very unexpert, like a green vegetable ... AND I'm also a painter well, I can say that I want to become an artist in too much aspects hehe, so I'm preparing an oil painting of Lacuna Coil, I hope you like when I finish it ... I promise that it will look great! It's just that I love music, I think that it's the greatest creation of humanity and that it's the greatest of the arts, it connect all of us because I've never know a person that says "I don't like music" because at the end everyone likes any style of music. When you came to mexico was sooo great, and I remember that we began to shout Cristinaa! Cristinaaa! Cristinaaaa! and you began to shout Lacuna! Lacunaa! Lacunaaaa! ... that's why you are my favourite singer, because you are not like the classic diva, you think in the band and I think the name to that is integrity and I really admire you for that. Plus let me tell you that you are really beautiful, really you are a pretty girl!! ... I hope I can see you again in Mexico soon guys. Maybe I can give you the oil painting by then, it will be such an honor!!! Well thats all hehe, I would write more but I konw you will read too much comment so I don't you to get tired.
Once again Happy New Year Cristina!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you SOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!by Erick
**First thing first, Erik: EASY!!!!!
From your message I can see an artistic person with loads of goals but a little bit confused on whic one to follow first. So, more important thing, focus on one passion at a time AND enjoy your art without thinking too much about the future. The right choices will happen naturally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Cristina!!! I love your music, it's awesome.. the way it sounds, your vocals, the lyrics, everything!!!
I'd like to ask you a couple of things:
1) Will you ever come to Argentina?? Please, I want to see you perform live!!!
2) I've red that you've never played The Ghost Woman And The Hunter live, I would like to know why... it's a great song, one of my favourites in Comalies
3) Do you think that everybody has got a soulmate?
Well, that's it
Thank's for the chance to do this
Hope you have a great 2007... keep rockin'!!!
Kisses by Seba
**1)Hope so.
2)It just happened we liked to play other songs. In the future we might perform it.
3)I think that everybody can find somebody compatible, with the same interests and the same passion, yes. But not really a "soulmate".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First let me say u are a goddess of metal. U rock! Totally! Ur lyrics have gotten me threw
a lot of hard times. So I have three questions to ask..

2) Wut do u think about native american's?
3) Okay a random question wut type of energy drinks do u like?
Thanks a lot for doing this....U rock like noodles, but better lol..
Take Care of urself-~*Shenaya*~ by Xx*DeAtHWisH*xX
**I like to listen to any kind of music, I'm really open minded.
2) All the best. I know some of them and they are absolutely awesome.
3) None. I hate them. They make me burp.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen you guys playing three times here in London, great stuff, but the big question is : When are you guys will finally move your italian arses down to South America, specially Brazil? I think the american fans are having way too much of you people now lol. It's not fair... Well, life it's not fair, so bollocks to that. However I'm quite curious to know if you have ever had an embarissing moment on stage, like trousers ripping off, a not welcome sneeze/burp or piss time or anything like that (?)
All the best and have a happy new year. : )
P.S: Love the school girl outfit with the skirt.
Very hard to make questions here, after so some already asked. by Beer_Maiden
**You're damn' right girl...it's time for us to come over there!
Embarassing moments? Once, years ago when my hair were shorter, on stage I lost a fake pony tail in the middle of the show, while I was headbanging. I realized it at the end, when I bowed to the crowed and saw that...sort of a dead cat on the floor. Embrarassing but funny as hell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Cristina,
First question...What is your favorite Black Sabbath Album? Since you played Ozzfest....easy question.
Two>>>Will the guitars be back on the next lacuna coil cd?! I can't hear them on the new karmacode cd!!! I hear them on every Nevermore cd!!
**1)I can't tell. I like different BS songs in different albums.
2)The guitars are more present in Karmacode that Comalies. And Nevermore are a completely different kind of band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ms. Cristina person, would you ever consider at donating for the ASPCA or any animal shelter or something =P
And P.S you don't like fur do you? o.o Fur is ebil. And if ya do type the word "fur" or something, in a video site (or this site). ;__; OMG I saw a video that made me cry from what they do to the poor animals in the fur farms. by ..§?¢~*Scape Goat*~¢?§..
**Sure I considered, and I will. I like better good looking sintetic furs.

mi fa piacere vedere che trovi il tempo per dedicarti ai tuoi fan, fa piacere sapere che un proprio idolo in realtà non è poi così irraggiungibile e in fondo...è umano! :D
brava Cristina, ti auguro uno splendido 2007.by Angela
**Grazie. E sono d'accordo con te.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi cristina,
If you were too shy to sing on stage, what made you do it?
Love from Keyse
by -=-KeySe...ShHh!-=-
** I really think everyone should face the fears, not hiding from them. It's like an exam you want to succeed, you do it because you want to reach the next level. I made it for myself. It worked.

Hey,
I just wanted to know if you ever get sick of answering all of these questions? And if you got any good Christmas presents (or if you celebrate it anyway)? Also, I would love for my freind Ana and I to met you guys next time your in Salt Lake City,Utah!!!
Love Lacuna Coil tonz!!!!!--- Chantell A.H. by Monkey Queen
**Nobody is forcing me to do that, so no, I don't get sixk of answering. I just blocked the blog for now so I can answer the questions I have left.
I got some awesome presents yes. Including a new computer I'm writing with , right now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! Like everyone else, I hope u had a merry xmas and hope u have a great new yrs! I lovee youu!! You're so gorgeous!
My question is if you were to have kids right now, what would you name them? Boys and girls? by «¤Heidi¤»
**Uhm...I have no idea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ms. Scabbia,
You are awsome. In the Ozzfest video that Matt from ES interviewed both you and Andi it was mentioned that probably the hardest song that the band has made still needs lyrics. Have you and Andi been working on the lyrics? Will it be released on the next single? Thank you for your time.by Jon
**WE haven't been working on the lyrics lately but I think we'll release that song sooner or later, for sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
heya cristina, just wanted to say, you rock...hehe...on to my questions lol
1) literally everywhere i go theres people either comparing lacuna coil with evanescence or you to amy lee. personally, i see no resemblence but how does it feel to be constantly compared with other bands?
2) How does it feel to have so many people around the world that know your name but you dont know theirs?
Keep rocking, xTx by ............[BBZ!]
**1) It feels frustrating that happens for every band with a female in the line up and the people who compares doesn't even know the music of the band who's compared!!!
2)Weird sometimes...when they want you to be their best friends and you never saw them before!!! But it's overwhelming.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina, I have another random question. I know you will probably say no. But I have to ask. In all seriousness, will you marry me? =)
Clem- by ..°§ë£f .. Ðèçéþ+ïøñ°.. [Owns Amber & Heather]
**In all seriousness:no.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if you don't mind. Could you check out my page and tell me what you think. I always wondered if you looked at my page. Its all Scabbia-ish. =P by ..°§ë£f .. Ðèçéþ+ïøñ°..
**Thank you, it's really sweet of you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, dear Cristina! I'm really impressed that you made this blog, it's so kind of you! ... and one more reason to love you ...
1. Emptyspiral.net is the official forum of Lacuna Coil, how often do you visit it? Do you read all of new posts?
2. I saw that Japan is interesting for you? And how about Bulgaria, what do you think of this country?
3. What is the thing that you love in James Root at most? I think you both are the most amazing couple in world! by D.E.N.I.
** 1) Pretty often, I especially look at the pics section, you guys are able to find pics of us I've never seen before!!!
3) Him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow... First of all, a big thanks and huge respect for taking the time to do this for us. It cant be easy to fit in the time, or the inclination, with such as busy schedule as you must have.
Second, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
And now the question:
What is the one thing that you simply cant do without on tour? by Angels Fall First
**I always bring my own sheets and my own pillow. The bunk is the only holy place on a tourbus and I want to sleep confortably. Happy new year!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi CRistina HAPPY NEW YEAR
I have 2 questions for you....
1) Do you ever feel like some people like LC because of your looks (thats kind of silly to ask but im just wondering)
2) Have you ever felt ugly in your lifetime when you look at yourself (you are very pretty though) I hope that doesnt offend you cause im not trying to i just wanted to know because so many girls feel ugly even when there not.
Bye! from Miranda by Saturated loneliness
**1)Maybe someone got attracted by LC through some of my pictures...maybe...but I really doubt that somebody can be so stupid to buy an record basing the purchase on the pure image only, without liking the music.
2)Hell yeah! I like myself much better now that I know myself better, but when I was like 20 I used to look at myself in the mirror and wanted to turn my face the other side...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cristina,
Having seen you and the rest of LC play 7 times now, and being a member of Emptyspiral I think that your music is developing brilliantly with each album you release!
My question would be:
Having released the debut Lacuna Coil EP when you did, would you ever think to going back and re-working the songs in a different style to what they were, and with the current line-up of the band?
Cheers and keep doing what you do best! by Mike
**I don't think we'll ever look at the past touching any of the old songs. They've been made like that, they'll remaain like that. Thanks for the support, all the best.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ciao, cristina, how are you? Today it is 31, tomorrow it's a new year and I hope that it brings you happiness and success. I wanted to ask, by what you inspire to write the songs for example " heaven's a lie ", what is what you took as an initiative?. love you!!, happy new year, i'll be waiting for you at Venezuela =) by Natassia
**We've been inspired by the fact that too many people tries to convince you about things, they don't want to think with your own brain. So we just wrote "Heaven's a lie" as a declaration of freedom. Happy new year!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's Up Cristina?
Who are you inspired by vocally?
Ps. you kick ass! Horns up!
by VJTheVigilante
**No one , really. At least I cannot think about anybody who's an inspiration on what I'm doing now, vocally.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi cristina, i just want to say that i deeply enjoy your music and i really admire you. im honored to be able of having the chance to write to you any question and how you would answer it and i hope it doesnt sound weird and all but ok here it goes. long ago there was this girl that i really liked but at the time i was barely knowing her she liked me and i never saw it. then one day i was starting to like her alot but i just guess she lost it for me. and for the past 4 years this thing was always in my mind whether she liked me or not. then one day i told her everything and to be honest i was a little heart-broken of what she said she told me "i liked you but i didn't loved you" and so i let it all go and if your thinking of what happened to her well shes my best friend and i see her as a little sister i take care of and protect and she sees me as a big brother that she never had. i guess im thankful of having her as a friend than anything else cause i could never go on if anything ever happened to her. so heres my question and you dont have to answer it if you want to but has that kind of situation happened to you when you loved someone but eventually became friends? well thank you for the opportunity of answering this question if you have the time to read it. oh and i hope you come to laredo, texas on your next tour youll love our town. from your loyal fan manny-----------p.s. keep on living and rocking by manny
**No, it never happened to me. I always keeps separate love from friendship.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Cristina,
Saw you guys on the In Flames Tour 3x, and I'm sure we'll be seeing you guys even more next time!
Okay, So I'll embarass myself...but you won't remember me anyway, unless I actually recall this to you! =), so here goes: 2 questions
1) If I do manage to get the cash saved up for a trip to Italy and IF by some MIRACLE it just so happens to work with your schedule and you guys are home. And an AC Milan game is @ home, or around the area... you guys wanna go to a game with me? =P
Haha ! ! ! Just dreamin'! (Real question is below)
2) A while back you said how one of your sound guys had his jacket stolen, felt bad for the guy, and was wondering if it was returned?..... I was checking "CREEPY EBAY" for you guys, to see if they might have been trying sell it, but I didn't see anything (that whole thing was truly disrespectful)
P.S.-- So nice of AC to leave us with some holiday cheer! am I right !?! We're coming back!
P.P.S--I HATE INTER with a PASSION!!! Sorry...I just had to tell someone, who actually knows what I'm talking about. Sorry no one hear in the states really understands. =P by Enjoy the Silence
**1) Might be.
2)Unfortunately the thief didn't have enough balls to bring the jacket back. Must be weird to walk around with somebody's name embroided on a jacket...
