Please tell us a little more about yourself (Job, hobbies, etc.):
I live in Central-North Italy but I come from South Italy....I stayed also in Milan for one year and then I'm moved to near Bologna....I live with my boyfriend by ten years...I'm a few "hippie" in my spirit... I'm searching for a new job...I have done various jobs...The last was for a local journal for commercial inserts. My life is the music and for all that concern the music...I like to read musicians's biographies, to listen music all day or to see music videos.....and I like to be a fan...I'm a little "groupie" in my heart.... I love the musicians, especially the guitar players!!! I like to buy cds and vinyls at second hand fairs. Then I like to paint and to draw....In the past I have wrote also some poems....I like to go to live concerts when I can....I was 4 years old when I danced in my cradle with Rolling Stones music! The love for the music comes by my dad that in the 70's played in a rock band and also my boyfriend plays guitar.....

How/when and why did you get into L.A. Guns?
I knew the name LAG by many years because I'm a great fan also of Guns N Roses but I'm all into LAG music by their reunion of '99.....It has been "love at first sight" for them especially for Phil....I'm his biggest italian fan ...I love him not only in LAG but also in Girl, Tormè, solos.....

What is your favourite song/album?
I cannot choose.....I love all their music by first album to Tales from the strip....(only the albums with Phil) If I must choose I love Cocked & Loaded for various reasons.

What is your favourite art work/cover out of  the entire L.A. Guns catalogue?
Hollywood Vampires...I love my vampires in front cover...

Now share your favourite L.A. Guns story/memory, please:
The amazing memory I have is the 4th october 2008 at the show in Pinarella di Cervia when I have met the band.....and when I have met for the first time Phil!!! A dream come true! I will never forget that amazing night....I cried for the joy the day after....I wrote with joy also a careful review of that amazing night(it's on my myspace page). But another memory is when I have seen their videos the first time, especially "Malaria" I had enraptured from this great band and today when I see especially that video I remember Malaria's video has been the "start" of love for LAGuns.

What other bands do you like?
Guns n Roses, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, Motley Crue, Wasp, Ratt, Ace Frehley, Hanoi Rocks, Backyard Babies, Ac/Dc, Kiss, New York Dolls, Roxx Gang, Girl, Faster Pussycat, Sex Pistols, Sweet, Cinderella, Yngwie Malmesteen, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Queen and some others...

Now on to our new feature - questions submitted by board members:

Phyrque: Is LAG fairly new to you, or is there another reason that you joined our Forum only recently? Do you think Italy is kind of divided in two parts (north and south from, say, Rome) or don't you think there are two kinds of Italians. Is Italy more Uniform than Divided? 

I used to go to an internet point for 5 years(one time for week) and I visited sometimes LAG's site and I read every FOTM for curiosity....I had at home an old pc without internet...At last in june 2008 I buyed a new pc with internet connection and after few days I joined in LAG's forum..I don't knew in the forum there are also band's members....Now It's a really nice place for me, I wished to be part of LAG's forum!!! I don't think Italy is divided in two parts, It's only a matter of people's mentality.

Zac: Have you been to Cinque Terre or do you know it? I think it's near the town you live in.

I haven't never visited this place...It's in Liguria, not much near where I live.

Hazygirl: Have you gotten to see LAG live? If so, how many times?

I see them one time for the moment....I hope to see them more and more times because I didn't go to the past dates for bad lucks...aaarggghhh!!!

MissMaritha: Have you ever been to Pompei?

No, but I have seen Pink Floyd's Dvd in that place.

soundfx: Is heavy music popular in Italy? Do metal & punk etc get radio play or is heavier music totally an underground thing there? Also, have you ever been to America? If not, is it something you've considered?

Heavy and rock music is not much popular in Italy. Radio, Tv and music shops have mostly italian, commercial and pop music...Sometimes I have also difficulty to find some cds. I have been in America with my thoughts :-) I hope a day to fly in America for an holiday!

Krokus: Do you like 80s italian metal like BULLDOZER, VANADIUM, NECRODEATH, SCHIZO, BLACK GHOST etc....or from the 90s like RHAPSODY, SAVERS, WHITE SKULL, etc....????

I know some of these bands only by the name....

WeirdSister: Have you ever considered moving to another country? If money or other restrictions were not a problem, where would you like to live?

I'd like to live in California for various reasons...I have this dream since I was 16...but unfortunately It will be always a dream.
