  • I love the band and their music, but what is up with the spaz-tastic video?

  • Whoever mixed this video gave me epelepsy...and aparently the temporary inabillaty to spell

  • it sounds like this song might be a little too low for her. shes great when it gets higher but the low parts arent too great. no disrespect to her though. im a singer too and i know what a pain in the ass it can be to try to sing out of your range.

  • @lemmingsuicide1234 Well, she does have a voice that can go very low, so normally she should be able to do it well. I'm disappointed XD But her voice is great and I know she can do better ;)

  • They are awsome!

  • all of you people who say she was sick at this show are full of shit. just listen to the performances of Tightrope (the best ever) and Swamped and you'll see her voice was full-on at this show. it's just not her best performance of Heaven's a lie, or it's the way it was recorded that doesn't render this performance of the song as good as many others. big fucking deal. it's andrea who needs to be fired, not cristina who is under-performing. fuck off.

  • @mildboar Alright dude, you don't need to be so full of anger. I see your point even without "fuck" and "shit" in it.

  • i saw them with danzig and stone sour

  • She sounds way better in studio...

  • I never knew about this band til i saw them live. I was absolutely amazed! The guitars sound so heavy, the bass shakes all your body, the drums perfectly keep a great rhythm and the voices..the duet between Andrea and Cristina and how they are contrasting each other is unique.... And in this particular video you can see Cristina's amazing contralto vocals, how low she can go and still sing in tune

  • Christina is awesome...

  • 1:14-1:25 Strangely HOT Cristina Scabbia

  • Najlepsza wersja. Wolę tę wersję niż teledysk. Tu Kryśka jest naturalna. Na żywo są chyba lepsi, niż w studio. Mało jest takich kapel.

  • This concert has always been my favorite. Cri looks gorgeous and puts on a kick ass performance. But I have always hated the editing. All the freaky stuttering cuts and color effects. The editing distracts from the performance and the music. But the music, is that some good shit or what?

  • Ti amo <3

  • Aw, she was sick? God, that much suck so bad to perform like that.

  • Comment removed

  • pobrecita cristina!! igual canta como un hada, aunque este resfriada es una genia

  • I'll have nightmares after 3:54... They're great thought :)

  • is it true that on this live Cristina was sick ? oh poor dear, she still is great !! :-) Love youuuu !!

  • i LOVE Cristina and Andrea's voice together.

    FUCK all the new Lacuna Coil fans that talk shit about Andrea.

    I wanna stab them in the eye =]

  • andrea fucks this whole band up......he needs to go

  • the intro is CRAZY!!!!!

  • @4755Nemesis wether it was anti-religious or not , who cares just listen and enjoy !

  • Andrea's voice is perfect for this song, imo.

  • do they play seven string guitars?

  • @NavySealWannabe67

    Yes - ESP (I think) :)

  • @LukCPL thanks :)

  • @LukCPL From what I have read and seen from their live performances they don't always use 7. But they do use Baritone guitars about 90% of the time. Though I have seen them use some traditional guitars tuned WAY down and they use REALLY heavy gage strings. I was in a cover band for a while and when we did their songs we just had Traditional Electrics with a special set up. We used so lighter gage strings from Bass string sets. That helped us get the monster low tone without sounding all rumbly.

  • @BDogGrizzly

    In the older performances they used 6 string guitars, but for a few years now they usually go for the 7 string ones. You can check out:

  • Is it just me or does she sound absolutely awful here?

  • @4755Nemesis Where you say "it refers to someone who's trying to impose their opinion on you,"

    You can't find a greater imposition than Catholic Dogma !! I'd have asked " who's opinion do you mean then? "I would not let anyone off with that in argument - Would you? Eventually Paul McCartney admitted that certain of the Beatles Songs were about Drugs; and some we'd all missed he also fessed up to. But to his credit he was very candid in an old interview about his own habits. It's on Youtube !!

  • @4755Nemesis I would have thought better of Cristina had she stuck to her guns and said " There is no God or Gods all religion is a lie . When Atheists in the U.K put a large advert on the buses it read " There is probably no God - enjoy your life". People thought that that was not very definite in its tone. But the "probably" word refers to the mathematical and logical usage and not the ordinary day to day usage . The National Secular Society of U.K web site has more info on the topic !!

  • @4755Nemesis - Think of it like this !! If you want to stay safe in ITALY - the home of Roman Catholicism and you are an Atheist and you have written a very good ( but obtuse) lyric to a song that is obviously anti-religion ( because some one has just asked as they have noticed !! ): You need to be well prepared to answer convincingly " Oh no it isn't !! " - I shall leave you to form your own judgement !! Your heaven's a lie - Come on !! I don't think we are wrong. It is clever writing !!

  • Full lyrics available for a .025ms Google !!

    Sing Along you God Botherers !!

  • If anyone has any doubts about the content of this song then

    just Google the lyrics BEFORE you make yourself look like a complet prat by calling others idiots !!

  • Oh no,

    here it is again

    I need to know

    when I will fall in decay

    Just in case you thought it was about a broken romance !!

  • @4755Nemesis Don't call me an Idiot - you hardly know me !! However I shall answer your question by referring you to that post again : And to stress again that Cristina is an Atheist as most modern "metallers" are and she states her case in this song . Don't forget "Your" is not necessarily singular so when she sings "your" she means the Catholic Church (plural ) not a single man !! She is referring to the long standing delusion of religion !! 2000 years worth and more !! Don't you love it !!

  • is it true the dude writes all the lyrics?????

  • @aksteb412011

    Cristina and Andrea write all the lyrics ;)

  • @LukCPL Actually, I think they all contribute...

  • yeah guys... you can accept that Cristina sucks big time here...! Sick or not!

  • Comment removed

  • for a sick person cristina scabbia still gives me the chills with her notes!<3

  • Is this the acceptable face of Atheist Italy ? This is certainly their anthem

    God botherers look away now !! Heaven's a Lie !!

    The Pope should pitch his tent somewhere else !! - He'll have heard this song !!

  • Her eye expressions here are amazing.... they make u wanna rock your head as soon as they play & takes you into another dimension..... so addictive! Love Andre too!

  • the bass sounds like a shit!!!!

  • haha love when the male singer asks "everybody's for freedom here...right?" lol

  • These guys are as good live as recorded. Christina is friggin' awesome

  • you rock girl,i love u cristina,lacuna coil nombero uno

  • that chick can bring it!

  • Horrible camera work.

    

  • im religious buti dnt get y ppl find this song against religion cuz the lyrics say ur heavens a lie not heaven is a lie its a metaphor

  • @Kylec2k9 Think of it like this -she is singing to you and she sings -- Your Heaven's a lie !!

    what do you suppose she means ?? It means that " your" heaven is a lie - Who's heaven is it ?

    It is yours and it is a lie - How much explanation do you need ?? Pretty straight forward really

    An apparent Metaphor is a very old trick - it avoided the death penalty for blasphemy years ago !!

  • Is that a fucking effect on the video?

    If so, does anyone know it cuz that is fucking sick!

    Also, James is a lucky man.

  • 0:10

    beatiful ass ;D

  • @DaRk1VaninG her ass is ultimate!

  • Video edition fail...

  • "sighs" they don't sound as good live as they do on their album, i still like them though

  • @1ach0neus At least you know it's them doing it. Personally, if I'm going to go see someone live, I'd like them to do an actual performance, even if it isn't studio quality. I have the CD if I ever desire to hear the 'perfect' version of the song. If I'm spending my money and time to go out, I'd like to see something genuine.

  • I used to swoon over Christina like a fool when I saw LC in concert. Now I just swoon :)

  • Damn!!! i feel my **** is going to explode everytime i see her!!!

    she is HOT

  • amy lee and cristina scrabbia they both hotttt!!!!!!

  • all the comments are about how hot she is dude they should be about how good a singer she is

  • she seems to be having some trouble with the low notes, wich is understandable right guys? still an amazing performance!

  • gotta love those accents

  • the music perfect but why doesn't the fucking retarded cameraman just show us the singers in the 90% of the clip?

  • i find her cool,but i don't really like the dude's voice:P

  • @linkinparkergr I like him alright when she's singing the majority of the song. When he is the main singer on a song, it's far less impressive. Lacuna Coil would be fine without him. Can't say the same about Cristina...

  • Amazing band to see live...can tell Cristina is not at her full potential here so she must be sick...but she still did a kick ass job!

  • @SpyderOne1981 she was down with the flu;))

  • greenmafia420 search it

  • nothing like lady bla bla, that woman couldn't sing to save her life, Cristina has a beautiful contralto. ♥♥♥

  • awsome badass chick........

  • They are very good live, i love LC.

  • She kicks the shit out of most of the clips I've watched from this gig, sick or not. The fact that she was sick and put on this level of performance just gives me that much more respect for her as a musician.

  • Vixe como ela tá lindaaaa de live!!!

  • She has such a great voice, why is she doing that? What's wrong with her anyway?

  • apparently she had the flu, but most of the song sounds fine

  • ma ke cazzo stai a di 'ndundì!!!

  • she sounds like lady gaga here o.O

  • @propertyofjoey O______O You're not normal O___O

  • WHAAAAAAAAT she WAS sick..?

    And Lady GaGa.....I'm not a fan but in the verses she Christina like her

  • Her name is CRIStina... Without the damn "h" in the middle... She hates when people writte her name in that way :P

  • Well she was sick.. so if you think she sounds like lady gaga.. i conclude that lady gaga sounds like a sick person xD

  • No, Lady Gaga just likes to try & copy people who are true artists because she really has no talent.

  • sorry but was there something wrong with her voice that performance was a bit :/ i love heaven's a lie love that song :D

  • she had the flu

  • i sir, agree

  • @Deaddecker20 lmfao amen to that

  • @Deaddecker20 irrelevant. you would eat an apple pie off your mother's apple pie

  • she doesn't suck... shes just sick. and if you ask me for being sick she sounds very good.

  • look, idk why but if some videos of a band suck, dont always believe them. i watched live videos of lacuna coil and all that remains and thought they didnt sound to good. then i went to a concert with them in it, and they both sounded amazing! so dont just watch the videos! actually go see them and then judge them!

  • dude how was the concert?!? going to see em tonight cant wait!

  • the concert was pretty awesome! i really enjoyed myself and it seemed most of the people there did too! so ya, hope you enjoy it too

  • Everyone has a bad day...when performing live, shit happens and sometimes you have a stretch where you are just wore the hell out....maybe this was one of those stretches...heard them sound great live before...

  • Just something up with her voice that day. A true fan knows how awesome they are. Just saw them live! best show ever

  • i agree, i was using these videos to see if i should see them but the results show they suck.

  • well that was painful.. XD

  • I knew they are italian just by going to their site and actually doing some research on this band

  • ohh, i love her...

  • Can't remember if it was at this gig, but Cristina had been sick & was still trying to recover from food poisoning when she did this, so she wasn't in top form & that would explain their not so great performance...but still, they're always awesome, and Andrea always sound 100 times better live.

  • recovering from food poisoning?oh god, I hate those rumours, not everything you read on I don't know what site on internet is true.She said she was sick while performing on an acoustic concert but still that performance was fabulous and this one as well, I don't know what some are talking about.

  • I was wondering if she was sick or losing her voice because as a fan and I'll be a hundred percent honest: these particular Graspop performances were awful.

    She sounded great in the beginning but it just went bad from there.

    Cristina has gotten better singing, if anyone has checked out their Wacken 09' performances, she and Andy improved a lot.

  • That's because Cristina sings Contralto in this Song.

  • I love Cristina, and they are my absolute favorite band, which is why I feel comfortable saying...she fucked those verses up when she went that low! O_O"

    I couldn't make out the lyrics, and since the verse doesn't call for a whole lot of flexibility, all I heard was "rrrrr hurrrurrr". XD

    I love them, but that was one of their worst performances I've seen yet. ^_^"

    Thanks for uploading/sharing! :)

  • i agree he needs to be more on the backburner for sure... he isnt THAT bad but sometimes he brings the song down..

  • And he does ruin it, maybe if he tried not to be soo ronchy with his singing, and cut down like he does on the album

  • Any Fan that has wikipedia knows they're italian lol

  • Ma chi sono gli Evanescence?? Cristina 6 grande!

  • while some may say he's not important to the actual songs.. but i'm sure the band would need him some way or another.

  • Comment removed

  • cristina's fckin HOT! the way she looks at ya wit her angry eyes... DAMN!!!

  • @chaleurrr67 LOLOL I soo agree. She looks damn hot anyway, but man when she gets that angry look, she takes her hot-ness to a friggin' new level. DAMN!!! is right! LOL

  • No.. he ruins it...

  • Andrea Ferro is also a great singer too

  • that crowd was sead in the begining, "u guys having fun?" wooo...., wow, ive seen better crowds, if i seen these guys live id be fucking screaming as lound as i could

  • i fucking love this song! <3333

  • is she irish? she has an accent kind of

  • no she's italian

  • the band is italian in origin

  • *not

  • those low notes may sound to low but theyre note out of tune in any way :)

  • iTS A SHAME he is very underated Cuase she takes all the spot light not on purspose she is a great person its that people are stupid and dont relize they are a teamn i give a nother year and he will be gone.

  • i wish she wouldnt go so low with her voice. it makes it seem too forced.

  • Graspop... Goin there!! ^_^

  • Love those 7strings o man

  • This one its almost perfect live tbh

  • ma quanto è più bassa??

  • Ancora co sta Tarja!??? -.- ma ke centra?! bravi lacuna!!! e ke pronuncia la Cristina! me fa quasi rosika :D

  • God, they make it awesome!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • la musica napoletana è na cakkina...diciamoci la verità...ma in realtà proprio cunok92 è na cakkina merdosa

  • I love the Grasspop performance, except for the the horrible editting and shaky color shit they put in it.

  • They have got to be one of the most amazing bands live

    And not to mention the fact that Christina is Amazingly talented, beautiful and inspriational !

  • vaiiiiiiii italiaaaaaaaaaaa heaven's a lie is wonderful!

  • they dont suck. they just arent as good.

  • No way, Nightwish are just different.

  • It's actually not an anti-religion song. The heaven's their talking about are a metaphor for people forcing their opinions on others

  • @yomomma170 you are sooo cute when you replicate the exact same words as on the internet

  • @yomomma170 yea i agree cuz im religious but it says ur heavens a lie not that heavens a lie

  • attualmente uno dei migliori gruppi italiani che porta in giro per il mondo la nostra bandiera...che non è solo musica napoletana.

    grandi

  • non confondere la musica napoletana vera con la merda di gigi d'alessio...

    noi italiani dobbiamo essere fieri della vera musica napoletana.

  • beh....si infatti avrò sbagliato a generalizzare...

    suppongo tu sia napoletano???

  • her low vocals are ok but andrea and his voice overlaping with cristina voice dont sound to great he needs to blend in with her voice just like on there acoustic performances it sounds much better..

  • matching pitches is what you're meaning :)

    it's hard to live though. and I'm guessing this is at the end of the set.

  • nightwish...but with the songs singed by Tarja

  • do u think with annette they arent as gud?

  • i think equally. Its just a different style. But all in all they are just as talented. And yes i agree definitely Nightwish!

  • some one answer who wins

    nightwish or lacuna coil....

  • lacuna coil over nightwish any day.

    i fuckig hate nightwish.

  • why do u hate nightwish?

  • cuz i just do.

    i hate everthing about them.

    thats just me.

  • u can't hate something for no reason...

  • .....rly? lol epic fail

  • Nightwish is just another Mainstream band now...they've lost the "Symphonic" part of their band now that Tarja's gone...if only they'd picked another singer like Tarja they'd be fine, but no...they had to pick a mainstream voice....dammit...so yeah they suck..the music is still good..the best track on their latest album is the track with no vocals in it^_^

  • The frikken seizure inducing camera work is horrible...

    Great band/song though lol.

    Btw she sounds not so great on the low notes haha.

  • They sound amazing live but this just sounds really off, like someone screwed with the audio or she's losing her voice =/

  • It's cuz the notes are low. btw judging from your username Going Under you're an Evanescence fan and it's the same deal with that song... the verses are so low, they (Amy in Ev and Cristina here) can barely sing them live. :/

    at least I hope she is not losing her voice.

  • yea that is true.....they can sing them but it's just hard to hear over everything else and especially Amy who runs around too much on stage. At least Cristina stands still long enough to do certain parts of the songs correctly. Amy runs around too much & it effects her singing cuz she's inhaling before every line. Amy sounds better at the piano & when she doesn't sing a line, run to the other side of the stage then sing the next line. I prefer Ev on the album instead of live with most songs.

  • I see your point. I think they sound fine live, but you're right that she sounds better when she's sitting down. The other side of it is that in a lot of songs, Cristina doesn't have to sing a whole song (because Andrea is also there). Whereas in Ev Amy has to sing entire songs. Unfortunately though sometimes good stage presence can take away from vocals, if the singer is moving too much.

    Well it's all good lol, they're both awesome :)

  • I agree so much, I also find it funny how some people are like 'who is that guy singing? he sucks!' and I'm like 'O.O?! He doesn't suck, he's awesome...that band wouldn't be complete if he wasn't there.' I love the band's energy and interaction with one another, it's awe inspiring. While I am a big fan of Evanescence, Lacuna Coil has always been higher up on the totem pole of best bands for me :)

  • 100% Agree, with him there is a unique Lacuna Coil spirit

  • I think they sound better live than in studio?

  • Cristina's accent is so cute.

    They sound pretty damn good live. I'm pleasantly surprised.

  • good song but the camera work is terrible

    some one please buy them a tripod
