Finally some time for an update 
I am just back from Belgium and the Metal Female Voices Fest 3 and a preview of the new Lacuna COil album.
The fest was interesting, all bands were female-fronted... a sight for sore eyes, mostof the time, even if in the end, most bands ended up sounding just like each other, with only two standout exception: Lacuna Coil (of course!), and After Forever. After Forever left me jaw-dropped for the intensity of their sound, with Floor Jansen ranging from opera skills to rock and pop, and his boyfriend the guitar player doing some good growling every now and then. I was really impressed. Here's a pic of Floor.
How she was clothed at the festival (and she made these hips-wiggling moves during the show... mmm) (and when the guy was singing, she headbanged like a motherfucker! it was great to see!)
After the show, i got to hang out with journalists from all over europe (and an american one too!), with all rounds paid by the label. We were a hapyp bunch, and at the 11th beer, i just had to take a pic of the hardcore partiers that were in the pub at four am!
(with a wakeup call at 8.15 in the morning, cause we had to move to another place!)
(i won't name names... i doubt you recognize anyone, but let's say in this pic there's a kerrang journalist, an american one, and a label person! all top people!)
And here's Lacuna Coil at the playback of 6 of their new tracks. The album comes out in late March 2006, so i can't even mention song titles, since they may vary. And also, i'd have my balls cut.
But, i did enjoy the new stuff. Andrea said he too 6 months of singing lessons, and it's noticeable on the album. And Cristina can kick Tarja's ass any day
(did you hear Tarja was fired from Nightwish?)
(the guy in white is a label guy)
A "stolen" pic of them in the studio
... and all expenses were paid. Got hammered with beer and food, and got to meet some cool people and see a belgian town.
I can't complain at all.

I was tagged by xxxx to say 20 things about me that i never mention in the journal cause, well, they are trivial.
so here's something for you.
1 - my first concert was MANOWAR. I was 16, please forgive me.
2 - second concert was the RAMONES. so i can show off to seeing them in the full lineup to these nostalgic kids nowadays! and don't get feeing old!
3 - i find spiders repulsive. i am not scared of them, but i fin them disgusting, so i cringe at the sight of them.
4 - i love my holidays abroad and trips so much, that i am constantly thinking of past and future ones. now i am all geared up for new years eve in barcelona (i think we're going there)
5 - i don't eat fish or pultry. i simply dont like the taste.
6 - i live at the second floor of a block of a 7-floor block of flats. the building is pink but not in a gay way
7 - i think spain is the best place for nudist beaches. i strongly suggest everyone to check out LA MUSCLERA. what a wonderful place
8 - i went through most of Stephen King's bibliography during August 1995. I think i read like 20 of his books in 30 days
9 - my favourite song of 2005 so far is HARE KRISHNA by a krishna-core band from Hungary. i find it compelling!
10 - i can't count to 20, so i will stop here for now
