Lacuna Coil’s Cristina Scabbia: 10 Things I Can’t Tour Without
Most pro musicians are on the road more than they’re at home, and they’re all faced with the same struggle: to decide which possessions they can fit in their cramped, mobile living quarters. Certain amenities are simply too big, impractical or valuable to bring along for the ride, but every metal hellraiser has a select handful of things that they simply cannot tour without — from treasured personal items to useful tools. Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia has been making these tough calls for 25 years, so we asked her to pick 10 essentials that she won’t leave home without. Watch to see what she chose and why.

AC/DC – Thunderstruck Guzheng Cover｜Moyun
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time! Amazing!!
Description: This cover is based on Luca Stricagnoli’s guitar adaptation of Thunderstruck. After playing, I just want to say that Luca’s unicorn arm [edit: strong arm] + ruthless iron hand are indeed something I can’t easily attempt emulate… Anyway, I think my left hand is about to break . The sound engineer told me that me turning the wrench looks like driving a hand tractor… absolutely speechless! Even if it’s a tractor, are we starting in fifth gear or not?! Pity on this wrench and the floor of the piano room. They have endured too much, could be said they’ve sacrificed themselves [to the song] hahaha~ This is the second time I have tried a finger-style transplantation [edit: arrangement / transcription], and I feel to have learned a lot! I Hope I can bring y’all an even more interesting song next time~
