CRISTINA SCABBIA RESPONDS TO METALSUCKS
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl RosenbergLast week I bitched and moaned because, unlike some other celebrities, Cristina Scabbia does not get naked in her new Peta ad. Now loyal reader Greg Heerdt tells us that Ms. Scabbia has responded in a posting on her Facebook page:
Now please allow me to respond to Cristina directly (and by “directly,” I mean via this blog post):
Hi, Cristina.
If read this site – and it would seem that you do – then you are aware that we actually have the utmost respect for you and your band. I am sorry that your God-given beauty has continued to call attention to itself. I’d suggest you go the Slipknot route to hide your face and keep the attention on your music, but I don’t want some of your less intelligent fans to worry that masks can be sexually transmitted.
Anyways, to help you cope with this incredible burden, I suggest you familiarize yourself with this. If you need anything else, you know how to reach me.
Arrivederci,
Axl
LOL
….it seems you and Vince have a lot of haters who commented on that facebook rant.
PETA= people enjoying tasty animals
ZING!
She obviously wants your junk. That’s how girls let you know right? Now you gotta go over to the water fountain and push her face down when she’s drinking.
I’m still in 2nd grade aren’t I?
Lulz to the max.
8th grade. 2nd grade kids don’t yet call it “junk”. They call it something that shouldn’t be a euphemism, like “pencil” (yes, I remember shit that happened 10 years ago), and don’t (hopefully) know what sex is yet..
I know of preschool kids that call it there “junk”. Just try not to laugh when you hear them say it.
You were in 2nd grade 10 years ago?
Christ. I’m old.
2nd grade 1974. We didn’t know what “it” was. Kids today are too smart, they need to be a stupid as we were. Ignorance is bliss you know.
“If read this site”
– me Metalsucks you sexy metal lady…
I also like how Ms Scabbia “created a new trendy”…
yeah and PETA’s ADD isn’t about her
anglocentric dorks.
You are probably able to speak perfect italian, are you??? Just sayin’…
She said she “created a trendy” about the fact that in this case she got shit thrown to her cause she was not enough naked !you have to admit she would have get a lot of shit if she would have do the ad naked….
Hahahaha
Come on grammar nazis, she’s Italian for chrissake, at least she’s trying…
She might be comfortable in her sexuality, but is she comfortable in her musical intelligence? Her band is fucking selling out, their last album was utter trash. I believe I read a quote somewhere where she (or another band member) said they want to be more like Evanescence. In response to that, I would say that, yes, you do need to show your naked body to the world if you don’t want to lose metal fans.
They’ve NEVER EVER EVER said that, and I know it cause I’ve been knowing the band since they started… and you heard them after Evanescence cause Evanescence got popular in US first…but Lacuna coil were already known in Europe… long time before that.
The only thing PeTA is serious about is being a bunch of domestic terrorists hiding behind a supposed cause.
See many black helicopters there, McCarthy?
Peta is full of shit. Just Google “Peta Hypocrisy”. I’ve saved more animals than they have for fuck’s sake, and I’m a carnivore. Domestic Terrorists would be a compliment.
Less bitching, more tits
LOL!
HAHA…..WIN!
this. so obviously this.
SHE SHOULD STILL GET NAKED
lmao, well played sir
All this moral high ground from someone who writes a Sex Advice column for Revolver.
And yes, maybe I would stop bludgeoning neighborhood pets to death with large chunks of concrete it she’d flash just a little of the proverbial gash.
She’s not giving “SEX” advices but general ones! Plus she didn’t say she doesn’t like nudity, only that this was not the case to do it!
Anyone who supports PETA should be beaten with hammers and left bleeding in the moonlight.

I thought you were gonna link to that post with the guy from Winds Of Plague showing some chest
Oh c’mon, them is some nicely shaped chest gremlins. Bigger doesn’t always equal better.
what the hell, Christina? this is the only site that likes your band. way to be a jerkwad.
i still think youre just jealous shes fucking your man-crush (james root)
but yes she seems to have missed the point that nothing on this website should be taken seriously, ever, starting with the name
Listen, guys, the last time Lacuna Coil started a trend we got evanescence. This shits gotta stop now.
i dunno. i think it was the other way around. i’m not saying evanescence was out before lacuna coil by any means. but i know i heard that fucking ‘wake me up!’ song on the radio about a million times around 2002ish and still haven’t heard much lacuna coil on the radio.
Lacuna Coil had their chance. What do they have, like, 10 albums? All they have left to do is sell out and try to be Evanescence, so they can suck, then break up, and do a reunion 2 years later. It’s the cycle of life.
I will only say it’s interesting to read that kind of rant off of someone whose band once headlined a “Hottest Chicks in Metal” tour. All the pictorals, hot lists, and what-not she’s been chosen for, nevermind – she actively participated in a tour called “The Hottest Chicks in Metal.” Like, for real. Her decisions are her own and I won’t take that away from her; regardless, it’s interesting that she doesn’t seem to realize she’s already compromised her own credibility and artistic integrity with some of the more questionable promotional decisions she’s made in the past. Allowing that English isn’t her first language, I imagine it’s not surprising she didn’t understand the MS.net piece was a joke. But still: interesting, indeed.
I guess it’s a low-down, dirty game and that just about anything it takes to get your band noticed is probably the best strategy. I will acknowledge that I don’t know about the music industry firsthand. I can’t stand her band and resent having to hear about her/them all the time, but then as a woman long resigned to having to constantly fight for respect and credibility in various traditionally male-dominated professions and interests, I respect what I believe she’s ultimately trying to achieve – success and recognition in a genre historically hostile to any significant or meaningful female contributions. I wonder if she shouldn’t switch tactics, but then that’s something she has to decide – the same as everybody else.
Dammit man, this is neither the time nor place for intelligence and understanding!
Shinaain is a girl, that’s why she thinks and stuff…
+1
I honestly would’ve reacted similarly. Just because a girl’s beautiful doesn’t mean they constantly enjoy jokes being made about their sexuality. How come you’re never telling James Hetfield to get naked?
not responding until you post naked pixxx
http://photos-766.friendster.com/e1/photos/66/75/58815766/1_708062617l.jpg
LOL I did not see that coming
Because James Hetfield is a man. and as such possesses neither a vagina or a set of boobies.
also james hetfield is an ugly dude pushing 50, scabbia is one of the self proclaimed “hottest chicks in metal”
also you’re 16 and go by “trashette” so dont talk about degrading sexual jokes
Yeah, we would all go to jail for looking at your boobies so your opinion doesn’t matter.
You can still be 16 and have common sense. Thrashette is absolutely right. If we don’t defend ourselves, and give in to what men want, we get called a whore. Women who listen to metal rarely rant and rave about a hot guy in metal or ask for pictures of that man naked. Some women in metal try to get some respect for having women in metal, but there’s always stupid groupies who show up to shows and try to fuck the frontman. That gives an image to the rest of the men in metal who think we should all show everything to them all the time. Although, I will mention that Cristina’s past Myspace profile pictures have probably seemed ‘teasing’ to a guy, and her Revolver column does make me lose a little respect for her.
I think I speak for all of us when I say “Shut up and get your tits out Whore”
.
OH COME ON! Every time I hear a “new” Lacuna Coil song, I swear to God (or any other higher power that you prefer) that I’d heard it in a previous album. The same fucking music! Now I’m no artist but I think they can do something different by showing some front-woman boobs.
BOOOOOOOOBIES. WE WANT BOOOOOOOBIES!
Hey Rachel, Google Images for “Type O Negative Peter Steele Playgirl Photos”. You’re welcome.
Wow, I’ve never seen a girl with so many pictures of herself on myspace…..and girls on myspace LOVE to look at themselves.
To your credit, at least you didn’t look like a whore.
What? Now I’m confused, I thought we wanted whores? Aren’t whores the ones that DO show their boobies? I think your being booby-viewing counter productive.
Because women are better looking than men. Obviously there are exceptions in both sexes, but for the most part, everyone can agree that Christina Scabbia’s naked body would be a much nicer thing to look at than James Hetfield’s tiny dick. Women are called “the fairer sex” for a reason, that’s why men buy women drinks when they want to bang them, and not the other way around. There’s not too much that’s attractive about hairy nutsacks and schlongs flopping around, but the female form is like a work of art. And I know plenty of heterosexual girls who would agree with me on that.
oh you’re heterosexual, dammit! For a minute there you had me thinking otherwise, with the “hairy nutsacks and schlongs flopping around” crap.
Oh, yeah? That’s cool.
lacuna coil is awful horrible shite. possibly worse than mnemic.
You respect that band?
With all do respect your music sucks so make it up to us by showing us your tits.
man the testosterone level is high today
Lacuna Coil is shit and she isn’t that hot.
Agreed. She looks like she did a 100 yard dash in a 50 yard gym.
I think you’re cool, even if you’re CLEARLY GAY for saying something like that!
Peta is good with hummus.
Yes, yes it is.
I like to use Peta as a base for my pizza.
I often have Shwarma wrapped in my PeTA. 6 bucks from the place down the road.
Regarding the “formality” of your statement, you should’ve concluded with the formal: “Arrividerla”. ;)
Got a nice laugh over the passed few days, thanks guys.
She does realize that she is a woman and women are meant to be objectified.
Or didn’t she get that memo?
Gonna go find the biggest streak and eat the shit out of that son bitch.
I think she does but she wants to be the one who decides WHEN and WHERE to show herself off! Kudos for that :D
good thing this woman never uses her looks to promote her band in any other ways!
Being a women in metal is a catch-22. We either show men what they want and get called a whore, or we don’t and get made fun of for being a conservative tease (see link to original article). Aren’t we LISTENING to music, anyhow?
i love the girls who get featured in “hottest chicks of metal”, then they demand to be taken seriously as musicians. makes me laugh every time.
i think that whole issue of revolver is bullshit along with all the other shit that’s quickly making that magazine “Metal” Teen Cosmo. like what the singer from underoath is wearing, stupid “advice” from vinnie paul and cristina. what a waste of paper.
Hey that’s an idea of the magazine though….
No it’s not, and if it were it would be a Catch-33, (These womens don’t know snakes from dildos abouts metals). Seriously though, you bloody women make all this drama for yourselves, because as usual you can’t make up you minds about what the hell you want. Don’t ask us to think of you as more than just a lump of fuck meat, when I know your bitching to all your little living dead doll collecting friends about how all men are the same!
We men are simple folk, you confuse the issues and blame us for not respecting you. Men WORSHIP Women. You amaze, amuse and control us, and we would do anything for you. Your frailties are as beautiful to us, as our strengths are to you, it’s genetic baby. There is no fighting it. We like to fuck.
I will give you some credit, because men are, if you want me to get into science, meant to love women. You have more testosterone in your system, which controls sex drive.
See now you’re getting the hang of it.
You two should make a baby.
Men who call women whores for getting naked or being sexual are a disgrace to manhood. You’re only a whore if you suck tons of dick every week. And I don’t mean one dick, I mean dicks all over the place. We’re humans, we’re sexual creatures, and that obviously includes women. It sucks that society encourages women to downplay their sexuality for fear of seeming “slutty”.
ummmm you left out the part about being paid for sucking all those dicks all over the place.
You must have a very frustrating life, you sound so envious.
Oh, and I love how people loves to know about other people’s sexual life… But everybody knows Christina’s been dating her ex for 10 years and she still has the same boyfriend for like 4 years now… Instead, you CLEARLY need to get your cock or your ‘gina sucked a little more, you sound really stressed.
ummm in which part do i sound envious O’ Wise One? oh and my life’s just fine, but let’s not get into that right now.
and i don’t give a fuck about “other people’s sexual life”. you on the other hand seems to do, since you know all about Christina’s fucking love life. but you’re right about one thing, i AM stressed – you know with the exams, assignments, projects and shit.
Only thing she should have pressed against her chest is a dicitonary
I dont know why, but I could only imagine (not that I would want it any other way) Cristina topless while she types that facebook stat update.
Anyway her body will keep getting her this sort of attention…. until she hits saggy town.
Lacuna Coil Sucks And You Cant Just Save Animals By Appearing In An Ad Nude Or Not.
If She Did Just Pose Naked For Any Ad That Would Be There Best Song Ever……:: )
Chrisina = meh. I prefer Anneke.
i’d like to be comfortable in her sexuality. hey-o! but seriously folks…
She’s beating around the bush! I wonder if she shaves her bush I dunno with these damn Europeans
The fact that she had clothes on isn’t what bothered me. It was the fact she was in a PETA ad. Ugh.
Sentiment echoed heartily.
There’s some excellent use of the English language in her facebook post. Good mother of Jesus.
at least she is givin a try, I wonder how many languages you speak?
She used “add” when she should have used “ad” and “trendy” when she should have used “trend.” That IS the last straw.
At least she’s semi-trying to be respectable. I don’t think she minds being sexual, I just don’t think she wants to be thought in that way 100%. Sure, some pictures of her are provocative, but is that her fault, or the photographers? Remember the magic of photoshop, fellows. I don’t know too much about this woman, but she seems to have some sense of self respect.
Not that many of you care.
You may respect Lacuna Coil, but I’m sure many readers don’t…or at least I hope not. Their music is utter shit, and not metal one bit. Also, who writes Lacuna Coils lyrics? Obviously can’t be her, otherwise they’d make no sense.
So if music is not metal is not good??? Jeeze, we’re at the highest top of bullshit here!
I am eating some chicken right about nows.
Gotta love the intelligent rebuttals in these comments.
“Just because i’m comfortable with my sexuality doesn’t mean I have to show skin all the time”
“OMGZ WE WANT TITS!!!!11!!! LAWL!!!11!11!1!111″
whatever the fuck has anything got to do with her sexuality?
yeah, i didnt see anything directly offensive about the comment lol, it was just a stab
i saw them last week btw lol jolly good show
Wait, I thought she didn’t care what critics thought of her?
Anyone who responds with “I don’t care what X thinks” is a liar. They do care, otherwise they wouldn’t have responded at all.
Uhm… to express an opinion about something doesn’t necessary means “caring” about the thing.
Well, it usually implies that you do give a shit, considering you took the time to dignify them with an answer.
Everyone Has Feelings. Ofcourse it might get her. If someone was bashing you, would you say something. most likely. She kept dignity in herself by not stripping for peta. Save that shit for like playboy or something. I agree with peat to a point. Animal cruelty IS wrong, but eating meat isn’t that bad.
As numerous readers have already pointed, I’d implore Ms. Scabbia to do a bit more background research on the organizations she chooses to tie her name to. I hope that Christina reads these comments and actually does some checking into what PETA is all about. Someone above mentioned “domestic terrorists” and they’re bang on with that statement. They are liars, straight up. “Saving” animals, what a joke.
http://blog.peta.org/archives/2008/09/breast_is_best.php Asking Ben and Jerry’s to switch from Cow’s milk to human breast milk? Their absurdity knows no bounds.
I sincerely hope Christina that you aren’t this naive. It’s normal for PETA to grab celebrities to endorse them, since anyone with half a brain already knows how twisted they are. Pamela Anderson was a spokesperson for them at one time, and I think we all know she never made it into the public eye based on her intelligence, so Christina, this is unfortunately the pool you’re being lumped in with.
It doesn’t matter to me whether you’re showing skin or not, when you’re representing an organization like PETA. To me at least you can maintain some dignity by keeping your clothes on, when standing up for an organization that in my opinion is the standard of hypocrisy that so many other corporations aspire to. At least when you do the “hottest chicks in metal” thing in Revolver, we all know what we’re getting since it lives up to its stated goals. PETA, however does not. Not by a long shot.
I hope this may help you reconsider, should you by chance read it.
skin to win, christina
while peta sometimes has a decent “be kind to animals” message, some of the tactics they resort to remind me of “pro-life” people who bomb abortion clinics and end up killing people in the process.
GET YOUR RAT OUT!

That’s very retarded, man! You’re kinda sick.
Grow Up. That’s Childish and retarded.
hahahaha. good one.
She didn’t mention any names, so you realy shouldn’t be slamming her. You have no reason to. If she were to say like, “Yea Metalsucks said this”…… then that’s another thing. People need to grow up. We aren’t 5 years old anymore.
Her band sucks, and she isnt very hot either, and maybe about ten years ago when they made actual music it was better back then.
The usual dinosaur… who lives in the past.
yes dinasours used to live in the past…plop!!
wow, seriously, wow. It’s not that hard to understand. let’s list out the facts.
1. Lacuna Coil SUCKS
2. Christina cares about animals
3. Christina didn’t show enough skin (WHICH IS SO NOT COOL)
OK that’s about it. deal with it. we’re not humanitarians, or fucking animalitarians (haha i just made my own word). we’re METAL HEADS!
so being a metal head is not compatible with being a animalitarian??? have u heard about gojira or Cattle decapitation?
hey i care about the living things as much as the next guy, but you see, some of them are FOOD; as in we eat them. but that still doesn’t change the facts. be a humanitarian all you want; but for fuck’s sake, go do it somewhere else.
oh and uh yes, i’ve heard of Gojira and Cattle Decapitation, but just so it happens, i’m not a fan of either.
Well maybe Christina doesn’t shave. And she figured “fuck it, I’m not shaving for these assholes!”
Thank God for sluts or else I’d never get laid.
She didn’t mention any names, so you realy shouldn’t be slamming her. You have no reason to. If she were to say like, “Yea Metalsucks said this”…… then that’s another thing. And later if you were to have rad her facebook profile, Cristina said she was only joking. People need to grow up. We aren’t 5 years old anymore.
I bet she’s not comfortable about the idea, that some no lifes are wanking front of her naked pic every night, ’cause they don’t get laid enought.
Yeah, what was that about Liv Kristine being stupid for drawing attention to women in metal being beautiful?
