DAVE MUSTAINE’S EGO WILL NOT ALLOW FOR CRISTINA SCABBIA’S VOCALS

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 12:42pm by Axl Rosenberg

Boy, Cristina Scabbia is lucky she’s so hot. ‘Cause her stage presence is super-cheesy. And I say that as someone who actually likes Lacuna Coil.

ANYWAY, the best part of the below footage of Scabbia joining Megadeth on stage last night for a rendition of “A Tout Le Monde” is the fact that her vocals are practically non-existant in the mix. At first I thought maybe it was just the shitty audio quality of this fan-made video, but no; you can hear almost everything else perfectly, just not Scabbia.

I guess Dave likes to stand near hot women, so long as they don’t make a peep. He’s not exactly alone in that regard.

    Well, the article is correct, but I’d have to say the headline is pure speculation.

    Wait, that was a really stupid statement. Of course it is pure speculation. This is Metalsucks dammit!

    shit, her playback didn’t worked!

    (I used to like LC until that hideous thing called Karmacode was released.)

  3. Aaron Cooper says:

    Is Dave even playing the guitar in this song? His left hand doesn’t move for a whole minute!

  4. Brett says:

    At least she looks good.

    Only hot girl in metal. Everyone else is overrated.

  5. Conor says:

    Man, she’s beautiful. Just keeping posting about her, please.

  6. manny says:

    A girl on stage?!?!?! Isn’t there a sink with some dirty dishes for her to do somewhere or a dinner for a man she should be making?

    :p

    Never really felt like the new version was worth doing to begin with.

  8. elvin says:

    i was there and the whole gig was a disaster form the mix perspective.

  9. Elisa says:

    It would have been amazing if YOU guys only KNOW that Megadeth soundguy has been fired after the show, cause Cristina’s mike wasn’t working. I was in the frontrow in Milano and she fucking rocked!!
    Boy, I wish you guys could know things before writing about them….

    This new version is far better than the old version. To be honest, Megadeth is not a very good band, at least the singing isn’t. The fact Dave sort of tones down his voice for this version of the song and Christina Scabbia’s feature presence is the only reason why it’s any good. Otherwise, he just sounds like the thousand singers from the 80’s, just not as good as the best ones.
