I dont know if they are small enough for this forum, but I heard Entwined and now really want their cd.

So far I cant find their newest cd anywhere, but I got to listen to clips at Virgin, and I am very intrigued.

I found the album "Comalies" at Fye Music. I think thats the new one. Its all kinds of good.

Who DOESN'T love LC?! Fo' realz...

Thank goodness for this board, or I'd never even know of LC. I plan on getting one of the compact discs in the near future. Good shat.

yeah, Comalies is their latest.


Seen them live 3 times now.... fantastic band.

All the comparisons between them and Evanescence from this board prompted me to download a few songs a few weeks back, and I liked those enough to buy 2 CDs (Comalies, and in a Reverie... I was VERY happy to see them at the store I usually buy my tunes) and I like them both quite a lot.

ooo lacuna coil is great. i dont think evanescence and lc have much resemblance at all.

When I first heard LC I loved them. They have a great sound. Love the sound of a woman's voice (probably why I love Ev).

All the comparisons between them and Evanescence from this board prompted me to download a few songs

I did the same thing, for the same reason. They have quite a bit of stuff that I really like.

That was my main reason as well.

I'm a sucker for girl fronted bands (well most of them). LC is pretty good, I actually discovered them here (along with Nightwish, Kidney Thieves, and Within Temptation).

Oooo! Yay! Lacuna Coil rules! Very super cool stuff. :D I would buy a cd, but I haven't seen one anywhere. Hmmm. :( They seem to be getting pretty big in America. They were in a magazine and I've seen their video on tv. That is good though. :) I wish I could see them live, but no. They have to play at Pop's dammit! Argh! :x

yea i had a hard time finding a lacuna coil cd also, i had to order it from a store which took 2 months :?

I'm another of the people that discovered Lacuna Coil through this board. It took a few listens for them to grow on me, but now I really like them. I'll definately be buying any of their CDs I run across.

LC is awesome. I'm a huge fan. :D And not just because I'm Italian like them, haha. I've looked in three different towns in my area...at a whole pile of different stores, and nobody had any of their stuff. *sniff* I suppose I'll have to order it.

Cristina's voice is beautiful...but I don't think LC and Ev are much alike at all. Anyways! My favourite song of theirs...hmmm, probably "Purify". How about you guys & gals?

I'm a sucker for girl fronted bands (well most of them). LC is pretty good, I actually discovered them here (along with Nightwish, Kidney Thieves, and Within Temptation).

If you like Nightwish and Within Temptation, you should try After Forever. :)

anyway, lacuna coil is great, got two albums of them.

Yeah, I love Lacuna Coil! I have four CD's with them, the only one I'm missing is the newest, Comalies.
That'll have to be remedied sometime...

Yeah, I found out about LC on this board also...I liked the songs I downloaded so I set out to get their cds. I went to my favorite record store and lucked out...They had one copy of "In a Reverie", "Unleashed Memories", and "Comalies"...I bought em all and love them!

I love "Lacuna Coil"! I'm also from Italy and the band is well known here.
I believe the want to start a tour with Type O Negative in the USA, that's why LC canceled all the concerts here in Europe :(

But go and buy their album "Comalied", it's great work by Cristina and the band! 8)

LC is pretty good. Like most, i heard about them through this board.

yeah...Lacuna Coil are awesome...seen them live 2 times and it was sooo great!!!

Ah, you're so lucky! :D I'd love to see them live. They really need to come to Canada.

Whoa, so you've seen Lacuna Coil live? RAWR! Look who's teh jealous monster! See, green for envy, BWAHAHA. :twisted: Are they as great as everyone says they are? I've heard really good things about their live show.

*hehe*
yeah, they're really great live. unfortunetely the one time I've seen them they were just a support act and the other time was on a festival, so they played only about 40-50 minutes both times I have seen them, but it was greaaat!!

From what ive heard i only like swamped, what are ur favourite songs?

- Heaven's a lie
- Angels Punishment
- To myself I turned

SENZA FINE -->a beautiful song in Italian
My Wings
Purify
The Ghost Woman And The Hunter
Heaven's A Lie

My Wings
Heaven's a Lie
Purify
To Myself I Turned
Falling Again
Comalies
Stars

Holy crap, you people forgot to list Lost Lullaby. Best LC song. EVAR.

Yeah, after I exposed my friends to Evanescence they started looking up other bands that were metal style with girls who have amazing voices (and just happen to be hot) singing. I like them a lot, their lyrics are a bit more gothy than Ev's are, but I think I like Ev more, honestly. Not to say LC isn't krad :)

I had never heard their music before I heard the name on this board. I had heard the name beeing mentioned before, but never checked them out. They are great

I saw Lacuna Coil live too, at the "Metal Odessey" gig in London about 2 years ago now, alongside the likes of Nevermore, Dimmu Borgir and In Flames.

Again... i am surprised there are people who like them as much as I do. I thought I was the only one ;)

Lacuna Coil were absolutely ace live actually, though they were put in with a weird mix of incredibly heavy bands in comparison to their quite slow downbeat melodies.

But female vocals always tend to make me swoon... i wonder why the hell that could be? It couldn't be anything to do with Christina Scabbia being gorgeous could it? Nah....

as for favourite songs, I have lots of them. Namely "My Wings", "Falling Again" and the magical "1:19".

Cristina IS really pretty. :) I made a blend kinda thing with her in it:

http://www.boomspeed.com/lverraros/lacunacoil.jpg

And oh yeah! Apparently LC's current single is "Heaven's a Lie". Good stuff.

Lacuna Coil has been my favorite band for 3 years now. I'm like the only major fan in Ohio though that I know of. But I have "Lacuna Coil EP", "In A Reverie", "Unleashed Memories / Halflife EP", and "Comalies"...plus their 2 rare songs not on those albums. I hope to see them with Type O Negative in Cinncinnati, Ohio on August 5th.

My favorite Lacuna Coil songs are...

When A Dead Man Walks
Comalies
To Live Is To Hide
Purify
Distant Sun
Aeon / Tight Rope
Entwined
1.19
Hyperfast

Lacuna coil rocks, like alot of others i found out about em at this board along with nightwish who i really like. I found unleashed memories and comalies at my local FYE

I couldn't believe it! I was flipping through the channels and came across "uranium" on Fuse. I caught the tail end of the last commericial and then that punked up chick vj was like, "and we now have more with Lacuna Coil" :shock: and they showed a little interview clip and the video for "Heaven's a Lie" I almost wet my pants in disbelief...The video's ok, you can tell they don't have that high of a budget...I couldn't believe they were on Fuse though!

LC Rocks!!!!!!!

THANKS TO EVANESCENCE TO OPEN THE SCENE FOR SUCH GOOD BANDS!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, last year almost none over the net knew what was gothic metal. We had to hear crap like Limp Bizkit, Avril Lavigne (although her I´m with you and Losing Grip is actually good) and bands like from our country (in my case, Charlie Brown Jr. and CPM22). Nowadays we have Evanescence and I hope to hear soon (not so soon because I don´t want to be hopeful) LC, Within Temptation and Nightwish there too

I also like Lacuna Coil from the songs that I've heard. I haven't heard many, but Heaven's a Lie reeks of awesomeness. It reminds me a lot of my favorite Evanescence song, Imaginary \m/

yup, im another person who heard about LC through this board. they are grrrrreat!!!! but my first luv is still evanescence. i luv heaven's a lie, comalies, to live is to hide, and angel's punishment.

Lacuna coil rocks, like alot of others i found out about em at this board along with nightwish who i really like. I found unleashed memories and comalies at my local FYE

Thats where I got my copy of Comalies, but they charged me about a million dollars (more like 21).

I've been a Lacuna Coil fan for years now and I always knew that they'd be this big. I mean, the music IS awesome and it was only a matter of time before the general population of music lovers caught on.

. . . And YES... I do have PHOTO evidence of Cristina kissing me!!!!

i would like to see that photo evidence ;)

Lacuna Coil is coming to Toads which i am really close to. but OF COURSE... none of my friends know/like them so i cant go ::cries:: if only one of you lived near me. gr gr gr.

go alone.. none of my friends like Ev.. so if they come here i might have to go alone, unless I can convince one of them to come, just coz its a concert, and concerts are fun

Im very Excited They are coming to norfolk VA again in sept with type o negative i missed them last time they were here and i havent seen them before but heard alot of good things about them! So im excited to see them in SEPT~

go alone.. none of my friends like Ev.. so if they come here i might have to go alone, unless I can convince one of them to come, just coz its a concert, and concerts are fun

well the concerts over and i didnt go. and as easy as it would have been to go alone (i have no objections to that) my parents wouldnt like it... at all. and they wouldnt go see the concert either so i had no way out. all i can do is wait til i'm old enough or for them to come with bands my friends like oh well

From the few songs that I have heard by them, I like them. I'm downloading some of their songs. I don't think they sound anything like Ev, and I still like Ev better. My fave LC song that I have downloaded so far would be Distant Sun, I keep on putting that song on repeat. Hehehe... :D

I really love the whole girl/guy singing thing, I enjoy that. :)

I don't think they sound like Ev either, but I still love them.. One of my favourite sonfs are falling..

Has anyone gone to one of their shows with Type O Negative yet? I'm thinking about going to the show at Pop's next week, but are they playing a real short set since they're just opening? I really don't care about the rest of the show, and don't want to pay to see a brief set. Hopefully they play for an hour or so?

LC played a couple acoustic songs at the local radio station a week or 2 back.

'Aeon' (http://www.waaf.com/rftp/audiofiles/LacunaCoil-Aeon.ram)
'Heaven's a Lie' (http://www.waaf.com/rftp/audiofiles/LacunaCoil-HeavensALie.ram)
'Senzafine (http://www.waaf.com/rftp/audiofiles/LacunaCoil-Senzafine.ram)
'Senzafine' video (http://www.waaf.com/rftp/audiofiles/lacuna.ram)

Crap. I forgot about that. I remember thinking that was damn cool when I first found out.

Too bad the video won't work sufficiently on my connection. Oh well. Thanks muchly Lauren. :)

Hey, I just checked Lacuna Coil out because of this board... and I must say, they are a VERY good band. Christina's voice is amazing. I haven't heard too many songs yet, but I am going to order one of their CD's. How many albums do they have, and what are their names? Thanks so much for introducing them to me!

Lacuna Coil's CDs:

Lacuna Coil (Self titled Ep)
In A Reverie
Half Life (EP)
Unleashed Memories (US release includes Half Life on the CD)
Comalies.

:D

You guys probably knew this already, but there's a small feature on LC in the new issue of Revolver with Ev on the cover. If anyone here is a livejournal user, I highly recommend joining the Lacuna Coil (http://www.livejournal.com/community/lacunacoil) community. It's cool to read other fans' concert reviews [they even post pics!] and there's a fairly large base of LC fans to talk with. Nothing but good stuff. :)

I don't think they sound like Ev either, but I still love them.. One of my favourite sonfs are falling..

Yeah, me too. But it must be great for LC. I've heard their name mentioned in nearly every Ev thread on other boards, so the curiosity factor would have to make a big impact on their underground popularity since Ev is selling through the roof. Sometimes the comparisons can do good rather than bad.

I love Lacuna, tho i must say they're not that good live. I saw them last month and it wasnt all that good.

i dunno who said it but ye if u like WT en Lacuna, u should try After Forever.

I was reading a LC interview a while ago and they told their opinion about Evanescence

They said everybody was telling them Evanescence was copying their style so they heard it and thought Evanescence remember them but also remembers Linkin Park, although they also said they only heard one song from them back then (guess which one it was?)

I think LC and Evanescence are the same style of music, but they have their own style. What many metal fans say about Evanescence being copycat of Lacuna Coil (I did say it at first) is some kind of jealous feeling or maybe only hearing Evanescence few times. In my case, in the 4th day I heard Evanescence other songs, I could clearly see the differences, but the voice is almost the same

I don't think anyone is copying anyone. And honestly I don't think LC and Ev sound the least bit a like. They both have a unique sound and style which I like. But to me I think they are easily seperated as different. *shrugs* Just my opinion though.

I think people say they sound alike simply because they're both female-fronted metal bands, despite Lacuna Coil also having a male singer. In more entertaining news, I'm gonna go see them open for Type O Negative tommorow! I have a feeling Type O will be kinda boring (sorry if they're not, I'm not to familliar with their stuff beyond a couple MP3's I got) but 45-60 minutes of Lacuna Coil will be awesome.

Ooh, you lucky kid! Have mass amounts of fun! Type O's all right... nothing too special though. Lacuna will be teh awesome, though.

Hey, I just finally (after 3 years) got to see Lacuna Coil live in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday night, and I was so pleased with their show. ) It was only 45 minutes which was the bad thing, but they blew Type O Negative away in my opinion. Even my friend said the same thing, and he went to see only Type O Negative. I thought they sounded very good live, and they really have alot of energy on stage. And after the show I got to meet Marco Coti Zelati (their bassist) and he was so nice. He talked to me for a few minutes and shook my hand and was just really cool. I'd love to see them be the headliner the next time because they deserve it. Also for anyone who is curious, their setlist was....

Aeon
To Live Is To Hide
Swamped
Heaven's A Lie
Senzafine
Entwined
When A Dead Man Walks
Self Deception
Tight Rope
Daylight Dancer


Jack

sweet :D Lucky you

Went to the show last night in St. Louis, technically Sauget, IL. Let's see...I got a spot up on the balcony on the side of the stage before the show and during the opening band, New Death Sensation. After their first song one of them yelled "We're New Death Sensation, and we suck." The first step is always admitting your problem. After a boring 20-30 minutes they finally quit and I made my way down for Lacuna Coil. I ended up on the left of the stage behind a couple people for the first few songs, from where I was I could only see Cristina, Andrea, the one guitar player, the drummer, and occasionally the bassist and other guitar player when they stepped to the front and away from the speaker blocking my view. I was behind some short people though so I think my pictures are gonna turn out excellent, I'll have them developed tommorow. A few minutes into the set some people moved and I got right up by the rail in front of the stage, so more great pictures there but I closer to the speaker so I could see a little less. The setlist was the same as the above one for Cincinnati, but I think Aeon was just background music as they walked on stage, they didn't actually play it. The show was of course great, but unfortuantely there only seemed to be a few other people there to see them, when they introduced the only song they ever wrote entirely in Italian someone yelled "Senzafine!", so there were a few fans there at least. The crowd did seem to enjoy them much more than the first band. To compare, from the balcony I could see most of the crowd, except the rest of the balcony, during the first band I saw no more than five people kinda nodding their heads, once LC started Swamped people began surfing up to the stage, though not nearly as much as during Type O. Speaking of which during most of their set someone from Type O was on the side of the stage talking to people so he stole much of the crowds attention, I'd be lying if I said I knew what was going on over there as I was watching Lacuna Coil's show. Oh well, during Type O's set I saw Andrea on the side of the stage so I went back down to try and get him to sign my Comalies book, no dice, back to the balcony. Type O wasn't bad, although the only songs I recognized where the encore, I Don't Wanna Be Me, and Black No. 1. The singer/bass player was quite appreciative of the crowd and seemed to be a funny guy. "We consider it an honor and a privelege to be here, I'm sorry it's a week night but I'd be happy to write you a note of abscence for tommorow for teacher or fuckin' boss." During some song a string on his bass broke or something and he had to switch, the guitarist says "You're supposed to change basses between songs." To this he replies "Yeah, well you're supposed to change your underwear every month." There was much moshing and crowd surfing taking place, and with that at least once injury, and towards the end he says "I'd like to commend the excellent security staff for catching you guys, if they didn't you'd end up with a face like mine." Then he compared himself to Johnny Carson or something, I don't know. Anyway the show ends after an hour and half, two maybe? I don't wear a watch, but the show was supposed to start at eight, again I don't know if it did, and it was close to midnight when I got out, I think it was at least, I stayed outside for a while and it was like 12:20 when I left. Moving on, I go around the side of the club by the buses, there's quite a crowd gathering by one which I eventually decide belongs to Type O, I stand off to the side so I could see people coming out to go to the other bus, eventually one of the guitar players comes out with some girl and he looked like he was heading over to the crowd so I stayed where I was, but he instead goes into the bus. Later on Cristina heads into the bus as he's coming out, me and I think one other dude go up to him, he apologized for being kinda drunk and the girl with him informed me that everyone was drunk. This was ok with me and he went back inside or something. Time passes and Andrea comes out, he signs Comalies for me to and says Cristina's inside playing pool. Nice guy. Finally the rest of the band comes out and there's a few more people around by this time, they do some signing and then Cristina and Andrea come back out, so I get her autograph and get some pics with band and head to Steak 'N Shake. The end.

quick edit-that was a long post wasn't it? Anyway has anyone noticed that Lacuna Coil features two guys named Marco and two named Cristiano? It's like They Might Be Giants, they're both named John and everyone in their band is named Dave, or Dan. I think Dan.

boy i cant wait till september to see them, i finally convinced my hubby to go bc he LOVES type o negative it kind of worked out great...except for the fact that he didnt think i wanted to go.. i was like uhhh YEAH.. i like dying to hear this band... So it will be the typical concert scenario... he goes and moshes and i stay in the back next to the bar!

great :D wish I could have seen them live to. I really hope you are gonna post thos epics here ;)

ill have to double check with the venue if i can even get a camera in there.. it sux

Does anyone know where to get guitar tabs for Hyperfast? I really like that song, but everywhere I look, I can't find a tab for it.

great :D wish I could have seen them live to. I really hope you are gonna post thos epics here ;)
They're getting developed tommorow, just the one's of the show though, the ones from outside are on another role. I probably won't have time this weekend but I've been meaning to scan a bunch of Eva pics since last spring so I'll try and scan them all at once. My scanner is old and slow though, so I don't look forward to it.

edit-I can't spell.

Today I was hearing Iron Maiden´s Wasted Years and the beginning seems very similar to LC´s Heaven´s a Lie beginning

Very good band. Add me to the list of people who discovered this band here.

crazysoul got me hooked lol, great band

<3 Laucina Coil et Entwine. People on this board have gooood taste. ^_^

Pshaw! Of course we do! I mean... we all like Evanescence, right? :D

At the beginning of the song "Self Deception" what is Christina saying? It sounds so cool... is it just sounds?

Yeah, I believe that she is saying something at the beginning of "Self Deception" but I couldn't tell you what. I never asked Cristina about that song. I only asked her about the part in "The Prophet Said" where she keeps saying "it's my harmony" real quietly towards the end of the song (starting at 318 into the song)...she said that the rest of it was just her "harmonizing" and mixing it together.

Jack

Jack

Thanks! I wondered what she was saying in "The Prophet Said" too.


I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find Lacuna Coil merch. On their site, the merch page takes you too a site where I can't find anything. Thanks!

Their label website sells alot of stuff such as cds and shirts, but unfortunately they don't have pictures of them. But if you go to www.centurymedia.com and click on "Shop" then it'll take you to their store...just scroll down to the Lacuna Coil part of the page.

(If anyone wants to get me the Halflife EP since I can;t order off the internet, I'd greatly appreciate it!!!! D hehehe

Jack

Try the Century Media website www.centurymedia.com

Or see if you cant get a store to special order something for you.

The Half Life EP is included on the US release of Unleashed Memories.

I'll see if I can't find out what she says in Self Deception on an LC fourm I'm in.

I know the Halflife EP is included on Unleashed Memories, but I just still wanna have all of their major releases on the original cds. Thats their only album I do not have (and the Comalies boxset).

Jack

Is it just me or does Cristina look a lot like Michelle Branch?? Just saw Michelle Branchs new video on mtv.. and wow.. they look alike

but, "italian girls do it better" :P

but, "italian girls do it better" :P

haha!

Is it just me or does Cristina look a lot like Michelle Branch?? Just saw Michelle Branchs new video on mtv.. and wow.. they look alike

Kinda...but Cristina is better. Just in general. :D

Cristina is better.. in both looks and music in my opinion. But I just thought they looked very much alike

Found the answer, the beginning of Self Deception is the chorus backwards "I don't know what to do, I'm not the reason" and so forth. I played it backwards, it's the exact same as in the rest of the song.

Haha, wow really? That's pretty cool that you figured that out. Good job man. ) Also as a side note...I can't remember if I've said anything or anyone else has, but in the new issue of Metal Edge magazine, their is a full-size color poster of Lacuna Coil in it. It's the only reason I bought the magazine, so now I have 2 Lacuna Coil posters...that one and one imported from Italy along with the autographed photo of them I have framed and on my wall.

Jack

AH! Dude! The Halflife EP is sitting.... waiting... at my local Rasputin Records. If I had the cash with me to go get it, I'd be there RIGHT NOW picking it up. I have to wait until either Tuesday or Wednesday to get the money, but when I do, that baby's MINE. Perhaps I will mail it to Jack. :D

Lacuna Coil kix butt i like them my favorite song is Soul Into Hades is pretty nice

Ahh!! How much is it? I could pay you back! Please send it to me! I'll love you forever! D lol

Jack

Ahh!! How much is it? I could pay you back! Please send it to me! I'll love you forever! :D lol

Jack

I don't remember! I think it's like, $11.00-something. If I manage to swoop down there and catch it before anyone else, I'll be sure to send it to you!

like i wanna get their old albums but like they hard to find anywhere i can maybe download it?

I can get all the albums and Eps through a norwegian online cd store. I have the EP.. but havent had money to buy something more yet. If there is someone who really want a cd, but dont have a chance at getting it I could try to send some..

From Norway to US?
Forgot the mailing costs or you have a money factory?

Hey (sorry I don't know how to copy your post in a box like people do...I'm still a rookie at this message board thing ? . But was you being serious? Oh man that'd be so awesome (of course I bet you they will sell it....tonight in fact...they'll even open up the store for the first time overnight, just to let some other person come in and buy it before you...I know my luck. ( Hehe But do keep me updated just in case wink Thanks!

Jack

Jack

Haha, I just quoted that to make you feel even more like a rookie because I am a mean person.

It's actually been there for like, a week, so I'm doubting anyone will buy it soon. It's got what, like, five or six songs on it, so the stingy bastards around here prolly don't wanna spend $11.00 or whatever for not a lot of music. In this case, it is a good good thing. That means more Lacuna Coil for you! And yes, I was being serious. I've read several times about you wanting the EP, so I wouldn't be able to take it with a good conscience.

Anyway, does anyone know a good lyrics site where I can look up their lyrics? I am too lazy to search for myself. :)

Hey that's so sweet of you (well besides the part where you are teasing me for not being able to quote you". D But it's only right I help you out to. hehe go to www.darklyrics.com/l/lacunacoil.html that will be your lyrics from every Lacuna Coil album.

*Also...in case anyone else see's that site where the song "Lost Lullaby" is listed on the Comalies album and people wonder why it's not on their versions...I'll explain real fast. "Lost Lullaby" was a song that was cut from the album Unleashed Memories. It was recorded during that time, but didn't make the cut to the album. However, they decided to release it on the Comalies digi-pak special edition....but it was not released in America. It has a black cover though, and includes a Lacuna Coil poster and pin inside of it. And "Lost Lullaby' is the bonus track only on the special editions of Comalies.

Jack

the mailing cost is ok.. not to much. about 4 $ I would guess..

When I initially saw the title of this thread, I groaned...but then I clicked on it and was surprised. It's really refreshing to see people can actually be Lacuna Coil fans and not go around bashing Evanescence like crazy. (I actually refused to give them a try because of it, but maybe now I will.) That's great! :D

Right on. On a Lacuna Coil site I swing by occasionally everyone hates Eva. And yet Evanescence fans love Lacuna Coil. It's not like they set out with the plan "let's sound like an obscure Italian band, become much more popular and make all their fans hate us!" It just happened that way.

They´re just jealous LC didn´t do it before
Believe me, it´s just that, and also metal fans around tend to dislike americans, so having an american band becoming the first gothic metal one to be successful is just disappointing, if not annoying

If Ev wasn´t famous they´d like it. And also, many of them only listened to Bring Me To Life.

I just signed up for the Lacuna Coil list... and I just introduced myself and told them what bands I liked... but I made the mistake of saying Evanescence. Everyone was like "just don't talk about Evanescence and you will be fine". I don't think they have the right idea about Eva... they think they are trying to steal Lacuna Coil's spotlight or something. You are right, if Eva wasn't famous, they wouldn't care. I love Lacuna Coil... it just seems like some of their fans are a little biased.

I think they're free to their opinions, most of the people on the board I joined actually listened to Fallen, didn't like it, and hate Amy because she claimed they were original. Honestly, it's not like Eva is the first metal band to ever have a female singer, they're just the first popular one. I just find it funny that LC fans hate Eva, and Eva fans love LC.

Why was it they don't like Amy?

I just signed up for the Lacuna Coil list... and I just introduced myself and told them what bands I liked... but I made the mistake of saying Evanescence. Everyone was like "just don't talk about Evanescence and you will be fine". I don't think they have the right idea about Eva... they think they are trying to steal Lacuna Coil's spotlight or something. You are right, if Eva wasn't famous, they wouldn't care. I love Lacuna Coil... it just seems like some of their fans are a little biased.

I've been a member of that list....I can somewhat understand their apprehension. There was a period when Fallen came out that for a good LONG time, practically all the messages were about Ev. I dont agree with the hate though. :D

so the count down starts! 1 week!!! and then i get to see them ~ oh and another great band too TON!!!! YEAH! !

To be quite honest Ev and Lacuna Coil really only have one thing in common and thats the fact they both have amazing female vocalists in Amy Lee and Christina Scabbia. I hate it when people compare these bands because it just ain't right. There music is quite different Ev is a more epic band and LC they are simply Metal and damn good I might add. I love both bands. I've been listening to them both since well...1999 or so. The fact that most LC fans hate on the Ev fans is kinda childish but hey it's a "free" world. Oh yeah one more thing......for those of you that are trying to find Lacuna Coil Cd's go to Amazon.com they have most of them.

Yeah, I really don't get the animosity either, because I can't really hear any huge similarities in the musical styles of Lacuna Coil and Evanescence.

Some people are just way too devoted. (Heehee!)

I just thought I could post the little thing on Lacuna in Revolver.. just copy and paste the link

http://evfans.topcities.com/Lacuna_revolver.jpg

... im so excited in about 3 hrs i will FINALLY be able to hear Lacuna Coil!!! Im so excited i missed them the first time around!!! YEAH!!!!!

good luck

... im so excited in about 3 hrs i will FINALLY be able to hear Lacuna Coil!!! Im so excited i missed them the first time around!!! YEAH!!!!!

Have fun!!!

Lucky bitch. :twisted:

... im so excited in about 3 hrs i will FINALLY be able to hear Lacuna Coil!!! Im so excited i missed them the first time around!!! YEAH!!!!!

Yeah, yeah... you don't have to rub it in! :(

Awesome band. Very tight group of people. I love their synchronized headbanging during concerts. They're amazing to see live. Plus they're really cool with fans. Before the Hartford show they were just hanging outside the entire time. I've heard that a lot of times they'll go to the mall and just hang out in stores like Hot Topic and chat with fans.

WELL!!!! They were pretty good last night... and Yeah the synchronized head banging was awesome... i wasnt to fond of the male singer. He seemed to drown her out in some of the songs!!! But over all i was impressed~ They did a really good song she does have a great voice!!!!! I would see them again if they came through this way again.... To me they sounded better on stage than they do on the radio... which is strange!

they played at a place around here called "ground zero" and the next night they were number 7 on the top 9 at 9 countdown. pretty good too.

they sound good, which album can you recommend me to start with?

Well you can pick up pretty much all of their cds still. I'd probably say go with Comalies, their more recent album. However, Unleashed Memories is just as good. And also features all the tracks from their Halflife EP as a bonus. Order from their label http://www.centurymedia.com/index2.htm

comalies is one of their best albums!
every song is rad

I listened to some of their stuff, and it's kinda cool, but the guy annoys the crap out of me. Are there any albums with just the chick singing?

Yes, I've been a member of the forums there for quite some time.

Anyway, I've got some good news for everyone, and some bad news for some people. The good news, under their current contract/next contract they're signed for another five records. Unless Comalies counted, then four I suppose. They're also signed to do a DVD at some point. Now the bad news. They'll be touring the US a bit more. Opening for Puddle Of Mudd and Smile Empty Soul. Two of the worst bands in the history of the world. Now sure, you could just go, see LC and leave, but they'll only get around 20 min set time, and the tour is supposedly three weeks, so I think this may be all the dates.

* 10/23 - Chicago, IL
* 10/24 - Detroit, MI
* 10/25 - Toronto, ON
* 10/27 - Boston, MA
* 10/29 - Pittsburgh, PA
* 10/30 - New York, NY
* 11/1 - Baltimore, MD
* 11/2 - Cleveland, OH
* 11/4 - Atlanta, GA
* 11/5 - Tampa, FL
* 11/6 - Orlando, FL
* 11/8 - Charleston, SC
* 11/9 - Norfolk, VA
* 11/10 - Philadelphia, PA

On the upside, the Chicago show is at The Metro, so if you do get to see them play a brief set, it'll be in a small club. There is a bright side though, but just for a few of you. After that ends, they'll be headlining ten US radio shows. At least I was told ten, maybe that's all they've booked so far? I've never heard them on the radio here so I don't think St. Louis will get a show.

Damn, no Cali dates. :( Ah, I suppose it's for the best, so I won't spend money on a short LC set and have to suffer through the others or leave.

*shiver goes down spine*

I pity LC right now. Having to tour with crap like Puddle of Mudd.

Well that's unfortunate. They're playing Boston, but I'd rather choke to death on my own vomit than suffer through Puddle of Mudd. Looks like I'll have to sit out this one.

I really don't see the logic behind this. LC is just doing this for the exposure, or rather I suppose Century Media put them on the tour for the exposure, but it's quite obvious that fans of LC really hate Puddle Of Mudd, and I doubt the people that waste their time on them are going to enjoy Lacuna Coil, you'd think they'd open for, you know, a metal band or something. I bet they got a lot a more fans out of the Type O/Anthrax tour than they do with this.

However, Unleashed Memories is just as good. And also features all the tracks from their Halflife EP as a bonus.

My copy of Unleashed memory doesn't... :(

But then it's good that I actually have the Halflife EP :D

I think its only on the US version that the EP tracks are included.. I might be wrong tho

Wow. How crappy is THAT. I'm probably with the vast majority of people in that I'd LOVE to see Lacuna Coil, but don't think it would be all that worthwhile if a) they only get a short set as an opening act, and b) the other bands aren't worth seeing.

It's irrelevant to me, as the tour's hitting nowhere near here, but still...

What year did LC start releasing stuff? Sorry but im just trying to trace it all back a bit.

I agree... I want to see LC live... but they are touring with shitty bands. It doesn't matter, I live in Ohio and they aren't coming here anyways.

... .touring with shitty bands.... I personally went to see Type o negative and it was just a perk to see them lol

Yeah Type O was just a bonus for me as well, but they're pretty good. I'm planning to eventually get around to getting some of their stuff. And they started releasing stuff in...1998 I believe, same year as Evanescence, the difference being LC's stuff is still avalible.

Well now everyone can be happy again....according to what I've heard from a few websites and Century Media, apparently something has happened and now Lacuna Coil will NOT be touring with Puddle Of Mudd and Smile Empty Soul. Century Media is still currently trying to set them up with another tour, and they are going to try and have more west coast dates on it than their previous tours.

Yay! Maybe they will come with some good bands and maybe they will come where I live! *crosses fingers*

i have looked everywhere for comalies!!! do they not have it in the US or something?

You might wanna try Best Buy, Wherehouse Music or someplace like that. Otherwise, try a small store, you might get lucky.

Or you could try ordering from the century media site or Amazon.com.

Your best off ordering anything directly from Century Media, it's cheaper than even Best Buy, which does carry it. When I went to get it they were out though, I went across the street to the mall and had to pay nearly $20 at Sam Goody. :evil:

On to more important matters: The POM tour is off, as was already stated. Basically the option was there, LC thought it was going down (which is why we did) but the POM people can't seem to get their shit together and their very poorly organized tour is going to be LC-free. Instead Lacuna Coil will be doing a Nov-Dec "mostly headlining" tour with as many radio sponsored shows as possible, focusing mainly on the much ignored west coast. I'm just hopping St. Louis is west enough, they came here while doing the east coast thing, but we're pretty much in the middle. Also on Dec 27th they'll be playing a special Christmas show at The Asotria in London, not a tour, just this show, with a bunch of other Century bands opening.

Yeah their stuff is harrrrrrd to find. I tried Best Buy numerous times and couldn't find it. I had to spend $20 for it at Borders. Try Ebay too.
Man...they only hit the west coast twice before they ended their tour. I 'm bummed cuz they were in L.A. at the beginning of the month. Oh well, maybe next year ;)

I found my copy of Comalies at Coconuts CD store and I found Unleashed Memories at a local CD store, but I will have to order the other CD's off the Internet.

:?

The Best Buy I go to usually has a copy or two. I bought mine at a local store the day it came out. I guss unfortunately, depends on where you live.

w00t, I just ordered the Half Life EP and The Gatherings Black Light District EP. :D

Thanks! Those are great pics!

I remember a while ago people were looking for a good place to find Lacuna Coil merch and that showed a picture of the merch so you could see what you were going to buy. I found this place (http://cmr.uksecureweb.net/cgi-bin/store.cgi?keyword=lacuna+coil&product_type=&sub_la bel=) if people still need LC merch. It shows pictures of the items.

After several months, I FINALLY bought my ass an LC cd. Mmm. Comalies. < 3 Newbury Comics, for they also have 2 or 3 other titles that I shall pick up when I have the time.

Thanks for the website. That's pretty sweet merch. Too bad I don't know the conversion rate :D
I just bought Unleashed Memories yesterday and I like it very much, although I think I like Comalies better because it's more of a heavy sound. But they are both good and definitely worth the money.
Any opinions on In a Reverie?
Plus i like Cristina Scabbia's style in Comalies....definitely sexier over time!

EDIT:

I personally like In A Reverie the most of those three... but I also like Unleashed Memories better than Comalies. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with ANY of them though. I love them all.

But IAR is great in that it has nine tracks that are all amazing. I especially love "Circle", "My Wings", and "Falling Again".

And if you can find the self-titled for a relatively cheap price (as it's only 6 tracks / 25 minutes)... do so.

Oooh I like "my wings" and "falling again". damn! looks like i'll be ordering more cd's :D

Thanks for the review! Definitely helps :D

To Myself I Turned is one of the best songs ever
in my list, it only loses to Beauty And The Beast, from Nightwish

Is it true they are airplay at 63 stations across US? wow!
And for those who have already listened, is it something like being played at 1am or is it at normal listenable times?

I don't listen to radio. Especially since Clear Channel reformatted the only general rock and punk station in this area to a [c]rap and r&b station. Cuz apparently the 4 we already had weren't enough. There is one station that would play them and I know they were giving away tickets for them and Type O when they played 45 minutes away but I never listen to that station long enough. Too many 8 minute long songs. From what I understand, though, Heaven's a Lie has been getting decent play in Boston.

I've fallen in love with LC again ;) I haven't stopped listening to Comalies and Unleashed Memories since I bought UM this weekend. Man, I wish they would come back to the States and do a west coast tour...I really want to see what they're like live.

True. I listen to the radio very infrequently, but occasionally I'll hear LC when I do. AAF seems to like them enough, they had the band in studio for the acoustic songs (which I posted links to somewhere a few pages back), and they played the Locobazooka show when it came to... wherever it was haha.

Mmm... "Tight Rope"

Crappy-ass local stations never play that damn band. Perhaps I'll email pics of Cristina to the dumbass DJs there and it might change their mind?

I wouldn't mind a show here.

w00t! Glad I don't have to go to see another amazing band by myself... :rolleyes: dumb friends here at home passed up the chance to see Ev live for FREE...I think it was like their 3rd show of their very first tour....and I went all by myself. I enjoyed the hell out of the show, but I had no one to share it with :( I am so THERE when LC comes back to Cali

Is anyone going to the Cleveland concert on 11/17? If anyone is going and wants to meet up just let me know.

November 28- Detroit, MI @ Harpos

This is looking good, a lot of smaller markets, there's a few dates in there they could still add, and plently of time in December for more.

edit- shortly after posting those new dates I learned that they will not be playing the New Jersery Metal and Hardcore Fest on 11.14, they'll be at corz, Nashua, New Hampshire on November 14th instead. Other new dates:

November 19th at Phoenix, Hill Tavern – Louisville, Kentucky
Quest Club in Minneapolis on December 1st

Aaaaaah, I wanna go to the Middle East show. But it's 18+, and I have no fake id. Damnit. Maybe... Nashua? Depends on how far away it is.

oooh ahhhhh theyre coming back to the US! now they just have to show the West Coast Cali peeps some love! are they headlining those shows?

Where can you find a schedule of their shows? I absolutely love them, I heard they would be touring with Puddle of Mudd, that bites ass though.

As it was previously announced by me and someone else, the tour with Puddle Of Mudd did not work out. Puddle Of Mudd's crew decided that they didn't wanna tour with Lacuna Coil. They could have used the exposure, but oh well. And also, the current tour that is being planned right now and that was just posted here is supposedly going to be a headlining tour. Finally! (although they will be no where near me) cry

Jack

I thought the Puddle of Mudd thing was off? Perhaps I read wrong...

*nm... I got beat to it haha*

I want them near here..... one day. I don't think any of those are even remotely close. :(

Alright here's the whole story as I've been told, from a dude that's friends with the band.

The option to tour with Puddle Of Mudd was presented, the band wanted to get seen by some bigger crowds and thought it was going to happen, but apparently POM had just mentioned the idea or something and it didn't happen. Originally after that tour they were supposed to do around ten US headlining shows sponsored by radio stations. Now that the POM thing isn't happening they were supposed to be doing a mainly West Coast headlining tour, the dates I already posted are all the curenntly known dates, and considering the small cities they're playing and the emptiness of their schedule in Decemeber, it's looking like it'll be more of a nationwide tour than they've been playing. Those are all very small clubs, and the tickets are all very cheap, and all headlining. I heard something about The Killing opening, I don't know if that applies to all the shows or if that's changed recently.

edit-two new dates today
Club Raven on November 30th in Edgerton, Wisconsin
Oasis One Sixty on December 2nd in Chicago Heights, Illinois

I'm hoping St. Louis is after that one.

Aaaaaah, I wanna go to the Middle East show. But it's 18+, and I have no fake id. Damnit. Maybe... Nashua? Depends on how far away it is.

I have the exact problem. I heard the MidEast doesn't check IDs but I'm not risking it. But I am going to the Providence show :) My two favorite bands live in the span of two months *sighs in utter bliss*

What exactly would you be risking? The worst they can do is turn you away, and the tickets are cheap, you can just sell it to someone in line to buy one. At the very worst you'll be out $10, at the best you'll be seeing LC.

Lacuna Coil: Webster Theater. Hartford, CT. Nov 13.

Fuck yeah.
mini rumour tickets only $5.

They checked when I went and saw Hanson but I had a scratched up permit and they let me in haha. Maybe I'll try again, even though I no longer have a permit. Perhaps I can find it... we'll see...

Why would Hanson play an 18+ show? Isn't their entire audience 12 year old girls?

Good point. I would have thought Hanson would have broke up by now, does anyone follow them? And how did they get to play a club 18 to enter, their youngest probably still isn't 18.

Yes, that whole "Even though one of us is still underage, we're gonna play this club" thing confused me a good deal. The rest of the dates on their club tour were all ages, I believe. But a lot of their fans are like 19, 20, now. It's been what, 6 1/2 years since 'MMMBop' came out?

And nah, they're not broken up. The new album is coming out some time early next year, February or so. Katie digs them too, she might know.

I found it puzzling how Hanson would do an 18+ show as well, but... my sis is almost 19 now, and she probably would have been 12-13 when her big Hanson obsession first started... so it's not AS weird as it first seems.

I'm lucky that I never really liked music enough until recently to worry about going to 19+ (as they are here) shows. I think the first time I actually wanted to go to a concert was Tool in November '01, but I didn't because I had a midterm and at the time felt it was more important than seeing Tool live. :? *still kicking himself for THAT move*

Back on topic... somehow...

If only this band would come out here...it looks as if there's PROBABLY western dates to be announced, however... I can't see them crossing the border.

What's pretty cool is the fact that since I haven't bought many CDs recently, I'm appreciating a lot of the ones I bought during the summer a lot more than originally. Lacuna Coil is increasingly becoming one of my absolute fave bands. Many thanks to the people here talking about them and exposing me to something new and damn cool. :)

If they figure out I'm underage they can take away your license (in my case permit...) until you're 18 and it's not likely but if I can go to the next show legally, why not? But I'm reconsidering trying to get into Cambridge. I dunno, maybe.

Two new dates, St. Louis finally!

Pop's in Sauget, Illinois on the 29th November
Hairy Mary in Des Moines, Iowa on December 3rd.

I'm suprised they're playing Pop's, it's bigger than some of the other clubs they're playing (I think anyway) and there was only a few people there to see them with Type O, either way, they're finally headlining here!

Two new dates, St. Louis finally!

Fuck fuck fuck. *shoots herself in head*



I hate.

uuuuh wooow so there is someone who likes Lacuna Coil :D
They're from my city, Milan :D
Cristina once worked as waitress in a pub where I used to go and she is friend of a friend of mine, I see them sometimes in some pubs at night.
I didn't know they were going to America, I hope they'll get famous 'cause they're really a good live band (also if I find their albums not very well producted talking 'bout sound... but if they become famous they can get money for better recordings).. ah and one thing I don't really like of them is the male singer, he is definitely not good :P (even if we have some friends in common too)

HARTFORD!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! :D

I heard a new video was shot for Heaven's a Lie. I hope it comes out. I really like that song. There was another one before this new one and this new video might give Heaven's a Lie an extra push for radio.

I think the Heavens a Lie video was hsot quite a long time ago. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw it a month ago.

There is already a music video for "Heaven's A Lie". However the band and record label were not happy with how the first video turned out and have decided to make a second video (this time it's being taped in Sweden) so that they can give it to more major chain stations to play, like MTV (Money Television). Personally, I think "Heaven's A Lie" is one of the worst songs on Comalies, and it has run it's course. The vocals for that song are very weak and don't do Cristina's voice justice with Andrea singing with her in the chorus, drowning her out. They need to go ahead and start making the video for the next single they are gonna release. That one is going to be for "Swamped" last I heard.

Jack

blah. Swamped is the one song I've never cared for on that album. I'd rather see Self Deception or Tight Rope.






HARTFORD!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! :D

Yep. $6 is you stop by the box office to get them. I'm missing class for this show.

You can read their bio by entering www.mtv.com and typing in the search box "Lacuna Coil"

I love Lacuna Coil! I like Nightwish too, I saw them mentioned before. Christina, Tarja and Amy - three AMAZING singers who I adore :D The first LC song I heard was Falling, and it's my favourite so far. I love it to bits... teehee. Anyway I didn't think they were small, I thought they were quite big... but oh well.

Those are my two favorite songs on Comalies. Just figured I'd share.

For those of you sick of Heaven's A Lie (which I am too but if it's getting them airplay, I'm alright with it) then Century has a contest where you vote for what the next single should be and you can win some really cool stuff http://php.centurymedia.com/Contest/LC/index.php[/url]

Right now I have ‘Comalies’, ‘Unleashed Memories’, ‘Lacuna Coil’ and have downloaded half of ‘Halflife’ (is that a pun? :D Didn’t mean it anyway) I’m gonna buy ‘In a Reverie’ soon.

Tight Rope is easily my favourite song.

hahahahahaha. Lacuna Coil headlining=bliss. And I'm going to have pictures from it because I know TWO people who were taking photos at the show. And I don't mean crappy old, hid it in their crotch cameras. I mean people who had photo passes with NICE digi cameras. And I can't believe they played Angel's Punishment. Only thing that could have topped the night was if they also included Comalies in the setlist. Plus, their bassist, Marco (and Cristina's long time boyfriend) was sitting with friends from the area for most of the show. So I got to say hi to Heather, who's the girl from my school who is one of those friends. Pretty much only talked about one of the opening bands which was one of the coolest things I've ever seen...
Ska...
rap...
metal...
Need I say more?

The opening band...Yakuza...or Candiria?

I have all their CD's except Comalies (Lacuna Coil EP, In A Reverie, Halflife EP, Unleashed Memories). I need to get that one too.

Bah. I wish I had gone to the show on Wednesday. But the parental units don't let me go into Boston on my own, and no one else I know likes LC. Plus the whole "school the next day" business. I really wish I had gone. :( Next time, next time.

Wow! I've been here on evboard for a while, but I had never checked out this indie bands section and I'm so shocked to see a 13 pages thread about my friends Andrea and Cristina!!!
Have I ever told you guys that Lacuna Coil are from my town?

They've just left for their American tour actually.

Last time I saw them was like 20 days ago.

How's their airplay in the States? Are radio stations playing "Heaven's a lie" a lot?

Wow, I still can't believe a 13 pages thread!!! I'm so happy!

Well, they are very closely related to Evanescence and many people found out about them through Ev so I'm not all that shocked. Once this second video of Heaven's A Lie comes out, I'm sure that a lot more stations will play it. It hasn't gotten any play here, but there are a number of rock stations that are.

Well, they are very closely related to Evanescence

Yeah, Cristina told me about that, last winter she always said she used to be asked about Evanescence on each interview she was gonna have, but now that doesn't happen anymore, thank goodness.

Now I'll just take my time and read this huge 13 pages thread about them, I won't stress you guys out with any more questions (like: what do you guys think about them and stuff) because I'm sure I'll find the answers throughout the thread.

Somebody who knows them personally, wow!

Could you tell us how are they in normal life, I mean, about their jobs besides the band (which I think they left after Comalies´s release) and some other curiosities we can´t get on interviews?
Plz!

Honestly... I don't know why Lacuna Coil and Evanescence get compared to each other so often. I've listened to Lacuna Coil for a few years now and the only slight resemblence is in the voice, but only a little. The music's always sounded really different... I guess it's just me though.

Plz!

Yes, they all have jobs besides being in the band because in the music business, unless you have a record deal with a major label, you don't actually make that much money. If an indie band finishes the year covering all the band's costs with their earnings from record sales - tours etc., it means it's been a good year. And if you're lucky enough to make some little extra money for yourself (besides covering the band's costs), then it's been an excellent year.

Of course, they all have on and off jobs besides the band, they can't have a steady job because of course they need to step aside from it when they go on tour or when they go to Germany to record their albums. Maybe sometimes the bass and the drums parts are recorded here in Milan, so that when they go to Germany they have to record only the guitars and the vocals and then they can focus on the production (not all the bandmembers go to Germany everytime).

When she's in Milan, Cristina works as a waitress in a few bars... so watch out for that! If you ever happen to be in a Milan's bar, you may have the Goddess come bring your drink to you!

Hey, I forgot to mention that I got to know them through their photographer Doralba Picerno, who is also a great friend of mine.

Doralba is now based in London where she collaborates as a photographer in the music business. Her website is www.doralba.com

You'll find some amazing pictures in there.

LC is amazing!!! when i first heard their song "heir of a dying day" (from "unleashed memories") a few years ago i just fell in love with their music. cristina scabbia is very beautiful and talented! :D

Quite interesting
Of all those you just said, I only knew about Christina being a waitress
And what are the guys´ jobs?

I wouldn't mind Christina waiting my tables ;) :perv:

Hehe just kidding, but seriously I hope they don't have to keep those jobs. Could you imagine having your favorite band with some of your favorite members working at a McDonalds? That would suck ass.

I think Lacuna coil is an Amazing band...ithe songs are very great an the voice of Crstina ist very great.
I don't understand why some evanescence and lacuna coil fans fights against eash other only because both bands have a female as a singer and so everyone of this fans think that one of them "stole" the other the success. I don't understand it...both...Amy and christina...are wonderful singers and are in awsome bands...so what!? :rolleyes:

I went to the Cleveland Lacuna Coil show last night. Since I already had my review typed up for another board I thought I would share it with you too!

Here is my review:

The Lacuna Coil show was at a small club called Agora. There were only about 100 people at the show. There was a small stage and seats to the left of it. I didn't really feel like being on the floor so I sat right next to the stage in a chair. I was so close to the band the entire time. My section was the wildest so we had a lot of fun.

The show started off with a local band called MakeShift. They were pretty good. They sang about five songs.

Then came Dog Fashion Disco... *sigh*. It was hard to sit through. Pretty much it was a "metal" band with a keyboard that was playing some type of carnival music in the background. I didn't want to move while they were playing because I didn't want to lose my spot so I just sat through their performance.

Then Lacuna Coil came on. The crowd finally started to have fun when LC came out. All of the guys were wearing matching back shirts and Christina had on really baggy black pants and a black shirt with a purple corset over it.

Everyone was really into the music and having a great time. I think the band had a great time too because of all the energy in the small room. It was an amazing show. I think LC is the best live band I have ever seen. They are such great performers. They really put on an amazing show and sound great.

Here is the set list as I can remember it. I was having such a good time I blanked out a little! This is in no real order because I can't remember.

Set List:
Swamped
To Live Is To Hide
Angle's Punishment
Entwined
Senzafine
Humane
Self Deception

Encore:
Heaven's A Lie
Daylight Dancer

If anyone has questions just ask me. Did anyone else on the board go to this show? If so what did you think?

I will post some of the pictures I took later on when I have some time.

-:heart:

They played the Ghost woman and the hunter???? sheet... I love that song. Oh well, we got more old school stuff. And Tight Rope. One of my favourite songs.

For our show the setlist was (in order):
Swamped
To Live Is To Hide
Honeymoon Suite
Entwined
Humane
Self Deception
Circle
Angel's Punishment
Halflife
Senzafine
Tight Rope

Encore:
Heaven's a Lie
Daylight Dancer

Cristina was wearing a basic long sleeve shirt and this awesome skirt. It had two layers to it with the top layer having holes for attaching to your hands. She took those off towards the end. I've seen some of the pics my friend took and they're awesome. Can't wait till he gives me some to use for my senior project. The guys wore the same things as always.

They played the Ghost woman and the hunter???? sheet... I love that song.
whoops, that was a mistype. They didn't play Ghost Women and The Hunter... though I wish they had. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was half asleep when I wrote the review.

Errr... I dunno. Every song I've listened to of theirs I didn't like too much. But I DID really like this one song called "Angel's Punishment". Otherwise, I'm not a very big fan of them....

I was at the Cleveland Agora show! I was on the floor against the stage standing right infront of the bassist (i'm asian so it's easy to spot me). They play heavier everytime i see them. The drunk guy yelling stuff was kinda funny. Dog Fasion Disco was alright, better than Makeshift. Oh I grabbed the set list and it was:

Swamped
To Live Is to Hide
Entiwned
Honeymoon Suite
Self Deception
Humane
When a Dead Man Walks
Halflife
Angel's Punishment
Senzafine
Tight Rope
Heaven's a Lie
Daylight Dancer

Whoo-hooo! They're coming to St.Louis on the 29th! I MUST go. I couldn't go the last time they came. :( My parent's won't let me go to the venue they're playing at so I'm going to have to lie and really hope I don't get caught. If they find out, I'll be grounded and won't be able to go see Mitch Hedberg and Deftones. :shock: My sister won't take me and Squirrel Woman because she doesn't want to get in trouble. So I'm praying that her dad will agree to go with us. *crosses fingers*

big LC fan here as well. going to either the KC or STL show soon. those setlists look pretty sweet i wish they would put waves of anguish in their set for whatever set i go to though ;)

The drunk guy yelling stuff was kinda funny.
Yeah... that’s who I had to stand by the entire show. The drunk guy kept yelling in my ear and then took off his shirt when LC came out. He also offered me beer... and I didn't even know him. Weird people. If you saw that girl to the right of him... yeah that was me.

I think I saw you, cept none of the girls to his right looked 15, just proves how well I can tell a person's age heh. We must have been 5 feet apart from each other then, small world :D

lol, I think I look 15... but the drunk guy thought I was 19 so I guess I can't even tell my own age. I have these pictures below, tell me if you see yourself in any of them!

I have some of my pictures from the show up if anyone wants to see... here you go! Please do not use the pictures on any other site. Thanks! :heart:

Thanks for the pics! :heart: Wow, you were really close to the stage! Did you get to meet them?
No, unfortunately I didn't get to meet them. We were so close to the stage because it was a really small place.

yeah i had on a black From Autumn to Ashes hoodie. and i guess i'll just make a webpage for them bleh http://www.geocities.com/priestgix/pix.html. if these work :rolleyes: maybe i'll post more

Sad that they don't played "purify"...i love this song and it's my favourite of all time!!!

Just tell your parents that you are going to the library to study... then go to the concert! :D

I discovered LC more than a year ago, and fell in love since. My first song I heard "MY Wings" from the In a Reverie album, but "Heaven's a Lie" did it in for me. I saw two gigs of theirs, both in Philly. I own all their albums, except for the LC EP, which I have a burned copy of.

I meet the guitar player Cristiano during the other bands sets, and he was an incredibly nice guy. Everyone of them were pretty much hanging out around the bar during the other bands, talking and socializing. Marvolous band in concert, and I can't say that enough.

And Cristina is a super nice woman, and so gorgeous in real life. I got to talk to her a bit after their gig.

Here's a review of it, two weeks ago about. The first time I saw them was with Tapping the Vein. I was also supposed to see them earlier this year with Opeth and Paradise Lost as well, but their immagration papers didn't go through in time.
