00:00the bathroom rule no number two no number two on the bus it's Lilith from Diablo
00:05it's a phone holder this guy has been gifted to us many many years ago and we adopted him
00:42oh hi welcome in I'll show you the bus come in it's good to have you here well hello everybody
00:51I'm Cristina Scabia female singer of lacuna coil our latest record is called sleepless empire and
00:56of course we are on tour to promote it and that's the reason why you're here I'm gonna show you
01:02a
01:02little bit of what's around first thing first notice how clean how beautiful how bright it is
01:09and luxury two TVs now they're not on but they are at night we have you know movie night a
01:18couple of
01:18nights ago we watched Titanic and then and everybody was crying so that was very metal so what's the
01:24writer the writer is what a band asks to the venue the grocery store the stuff that you want on
01:30the
01:30bus because you have spaces like this in which you can put all the drinks we usually ask for local
01:36beers because we're interested in trying it some monster some fruit some bread and there is also
01:44something very very important that cannot miss on a lacuna coil bus a coffee machine a mocha this
01:53specifically it's an electric one and the rule for lacuna coil is to bring two package each of Italian
02:00coffee some of the coffee is here we transfer it in this one because it's easier but as you can
02:08see
02:08we have a little bit to open Italian coffee some of us are drinking tea but most of us are
02:21drinking coffee
02:22coffee and for these we always buy smaller cups because these are not meant this coffee is not meant to
02:29be you
02:29know just like American coffee like huge but just a small tasty sip this is the place for water at
02:38the
02:38end of every day we put all the water so everyone can be free just to grab one or two
02:43or three for the
02:43bunk and of course we also use it for the coffee machine and tea for whoever needs it looks like
02:51a big
02:52spacey room but when the bus runs of course is half the size so now we have all the space
03:00you can
03:01actually you know break dance and do all the stuff you want but usually closes up in the corridor is
03:06about
03:06this it's okay when you're living but when we stop we have all this place in the world the two
03:12guys
03:12that you see on my left I mean I don't know they are they just jumped on the bus I'm
03:18kidding he is
03:19Richard our drummer he's Maki our bass player and also producer of the band and see something guys say
03:27hey hi guys this is what we do all day long eating donuts and wasting time on the phone eyes
03:36and and I'm the drummer and bartender yeah what happens on these are actually in the night is having
03:44him doing a lot of spritz and drinking after show you know yeah the party after the work yeah so
03:51we
03:52usually have a Campari and Aperol so I can make spritz every night for the guys for us for the
03:57crew for
03:58everyone who want to join and uh yeah and that's basically what you will see in the back the station
04:03where we work actually so you will see in the computer this is more party time party place and the
04:09back is
04:10more working station let's see I'm not sure we still have some Campari or whatever because yesterday
04:16was very good and funny night but yeah we still have some Campari some Aperol in it we don't have
04:24Prosecco we should we maybe have some have some Prosecco in the dressing room so I hope TM gonna bring
04:30some some do you really want to see the fancier part of this bus this is the bathroom but we
04:43also have a shower this is prettier than the one that I have in my house we usually don't use
04:51it we
04:51use showers in the venue because there will not be enough water for us but in case of emergency we
04:58can
04:58have a shower in our bus and the rest is pretty tiny so no problem for short people like me
05:04but
05:04of course for the bigger guys it's a little bit of a deal the bathroom rule no number two no
05:10number
05:10two on the bus coffee is getting ready in the meantime and that's pretty much the the only rule of
05:17course I try to keep it clean no paper yes yeah no paper in the in the busy and that's
05:24pretty much it
05:25yeah drawers so you know just like a cutleries there are some pieces that we're bringing you
05:33know from tour to tour because we're used to to them but this has time to change it guys
05:42let's delete this one and obviously good oil from Italy this is provided by Richard but we always try to
05:49bring like a couple of comfort things you know for food like oil coffee hey we're Italian yeah capisce
05:56this is the fridge fridge and freezer the rules used to be and they still are somehow you write your
06:04name on what's yours but as soon as there are so many people on the road we pretty much eat
06:11the same
06:11things we decided to go groceries to to have like a file on on the computer with a list so
06:19we add what
06:19we want and we do groceries so so we pretty much eat and we save money as well and everybody's
06:25happy
06:26and that's what we have in the fridge I mean the normal stuff that you need for everyday life and
06:32of
06:33course of course we got some monster with us we also have some Gatorade milk some some coca-cola some
06:42some ham and cheese the basics because usually I mean we out we always have pizza after show because
06:50we also have a format which is called a slice by slice in which we judge pizza in every city
06:56and today
06:57we're in Chicago so we're gonna have a dip dish the fridge I think it's empty yeah yay nothing bonks
07:09we sleep here a lot of people are wondering where do you guys sleep and do you do hotels no
07:14this is
07:15actually where we sleep at night we drive at night so we get to the city in which we have
07:20to play the day
07:21after sometimes two days they're all closed but you can take a look into mine I mean I'm warning you

08:10will be
08:11Maki's bunk and each one has his favorite I pick up this one because again I'm pretty sure it's easier
08:18to
