Years ago I won a contest from a local radio station. I went to the studio (WAAF) to watch in person a Lacuna Coil interview. Then that evening I saw their concert in a smaller establishment standing front and center with Christina pretty much singing over me the entire night. Got the drummers stick after the concert. Then I went out back by their tour bus and waited for Christina to come out to thank her for a great day. We ended up talking for over an hour about music, metal, Italy, and just some other random stuff. It was great. And it didn’t hurt that she’s beautiful too.
This is still my favorite Lacuna Coil song:

Arni – as an obvious metal enthusiast, what’s your short list of favorite bands? Here’s just a sampling of mine. My song collection right now per iTunes is 39,394 tracks so it’s sometimes difficult to name them all :-).
By far my favorite band is Opeth.
Dimmu Borgir
Grip Inc
Nevermore
Exodus (old and new)
Susperia
Old Man’s Child
Other than Lacuna Coil and Nightwish as you mentioned, also like female led bands such as Crisis, Otep, Epica, The Agonist
Well, I am a metal lover for sure, but my musical tastes run anywhere from Polka to Enya to Boybands to Opeth 🙂
Since I am not really much ‘in the scene’ of the music, if I find a new band I like it’s mostly be chance, or when someone else recommends stuff. I will certainly go through your list, most of which I’ve never heard of 🙂
I have a very hard time picking favorites, but I can tell you what gets listened to most often if I’m not shuffling my playlist 🙂
Of the goth/operatic/melodic/black metal bands I listen to most would be Opeth and Dream Theater. I also love thrash/speed metal, so bands like Dragonforce get my heart pumping:) Of the more traditional metal/hard rock bands, Metallica rules supreme over all contenders, with much love for Guns, Maiden, Megadeath, Def Leppard and others of that period. I’m too young to have any love towards Zeppelin, however 🙂
There are quite a few more that I like very much, but sadly my MP3 hard drive is not connected to the computer right now, so I can’t browse through it and give you a better list 🙂

For thrash/speed, try Destruction, Sepultura, and of course the classic Slayer & Testament. Exodus’s Shovel Headed Kill Machine & Exhibit B albums kick. Havok is great too. Listen to this song by Heathenand tell me what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4gl0JzYGQQ“]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4gl0JzYGQQ.
be nice, be nice, be nice…………
ok here goes, I heard the new cover, I didnt think it was good, I have listened to Lacuna for a while, hoping it would get better, as the concept of a good looking dark female and male singer seemed like a good place to start, but the music is slow and her vocals usually muddy and low, it doesnt really work for me, seems like a band built more on an image than talent?
I listen to classical, classic hard rock (judas priest/iron maiden/black sabbath) and metal…..my favorites probably being system of a down and metallica, I will listen to things as hard as lamb of god and light as some avenged sevenfold or bullet for mt valentine
