LET’S KISS AND MAKE-UP, CRISTINA

Monday, January 4th, 2010 at 5:30pm by

I know that Cristina Scabbia hates me ever since I admitted that I’d like to see her naked (This is such an admission? Every heterosexual male who’s ever laid on eyes on her has wanted to see her naked!), but I’d like to state for the record once again that I am, in fact, a Cristina Scabbia fan who thinks very much of her singing ability, in addition to the fact that I’d like to see her naked.

To wit: Cristina covered Metallica’s “And Nothing Else Matters” at Christmas Metal Symphony 2009 in Tilburg last month, and I really, really dig her rendition. Here’s a good example of a cover that isn’t totally awful. Her voice sounds great, and her emotional investment in the song seems sincere. In fact, I like this better than that version of “A Tout Le Monde” she did with Dave Mustaine a few years back. And, bonus: I’m not sure who the other dudes in the band are, but she left Male Vocalist from Lacuna Coil at home for a change! Hoo-ray!

    This looks like an emo rendition with an orchestra, is she emo now¿??

    • SonOF

      “Emo now?” I think her vocal style has always been pretty emo (if you mean emotional), it’s not like this is some kind of departure from her normal style….it’s not like she usually growls in her songs or anything..

  • Motoghost

    I don’t blame her. Cristina seems like a person that deserves respect not only for her beauty and musical ability, but just because she’s human. I’m not denying she’ beautiful, but to post a blog that could have sounded like a complaint just because she didn’t choose to model nude is immature, perverted, and not to mention stupid.

      Welcome to Metalsucks.net

      You’re right, Axl’s comments were crude, but as he points out, name a bloke who doesn’t think that. Saying things that others would only think is one of the reasons this site is funny.
      More than that, however, Cristina needs to learn how to take a joke, and a compliment for that matter. Most modern female performers WOULD have shown flesh, it’s to her credit that she didn’t, and the joke drew attention to that. Lighten up a bit will ya…..

    • SonOF

      nah, musically she is average, we just want to see some tits..

      Aw come on everyone knows that no one would give a fuck about her singing (or human) abilities if she was fat and ugly.

    • Tonberry

      Visit an NYC subway during rush hour and tell me if you still think that human beings deserve respect.

      • Motoghost

        Well, you do have a point there.

  • Gaia

    ‘courtesty’ ? Uh, nice work.

    Not too bad… it’s just too bad that Lacuna Coil’s last album was terrible.

    • WowWee!

      Ya I checked it out and it was horrible, I would probably listen to them if they got rid of the male vocals for good.

      • Fufkin

        The male vocals are absolutely beyond the pale. He’s getting worse rather than better. But they were the least of that album’s problems.

  • Awful Offal Carnage

    I don’t like it. Not. One. Bit.

    • http://buttor.blogspot.com Buttor

      me neither

  • ceth carter

    I think you should go back to complaining about her not being naked……its much more entertaining to hear that and imagine than to listen to anything she does musicaly.

  • DemonicLemming

    Lacuna Coil sans (horrible) male vocals = good. Supporting PETA = fail.

  • Mike2

    Axl, I’m not proud of you. The song is called “Nothing Else Matters”, not “AND Nothing Else Matters”…

    • http://buttor.blogspot.com Buttor

      That’s because Axl is a trve metalhead who knows that metallica sold out after kill’em all…

        After Kill Em All? Don’t you mean after Cliff Burton died?

  • Deathexplosion

    unless she’s naked in this video, i’m not interested.

    • Steph

      How can you compare??? This is the stupidest comparisons ever. Is Bach better than Mozart? i fuckin hate these comments. Retard.

  • ColinJ

    I want to put my pee-pee in her poo hole.

    Does she hate ME now?
