Hi Martino, are you a good cook, and if so, could you give us a simple, authentic Italian recipe? Mille grazie!

I have a few geeky ones... if they are too many, just ignore the one you don't like. 😉 What's your favourite Star Wars movie and which is your least favourite? You mentioned you used to be a roleplayer. Did you "only" play D&D or did you play other games/settings, too? (Sci-fi, Cyperpunk, Horror...) And last but not least, when did you decide to cut your hair and grow this beard and why? WHY? (19 year old you was really cute!)

Hi Tino, thank you for answering our questions again. Can you tell us a bit about your tattoos, especially the new ones on your chest and the ‚gift‘ from the Allegaeon boys? 😄. Secondly: How was your first official year in NeO? Were some of your expectations met and what did you not see coming when you signed up ?

I like the beard though... and you really looked like the ItaliXen back then 😄

Where do we find this “ItaliXen 19 year old pic of Martino?!” I need to see this...😍

Used to be in Tino's Facebook story. If you're on Facebook, I'll sent it to you 😉

Ciao Tino e grazie per rispondere alle nostre domande! Allora, le mie: Firstly, if you were to organize a party and be the music master, the all mighty Dj, what are your 6 must-be-in-the-playlist songs and why those particular songs? Secondly, who is trimming your beard (I think that's the term right?!)? do you have like a favourite barber who takes care of it or are you a do-it-yourself bearded man? Just these for now, thanks again, I'll edit later if I get any other smart idea :))

I’ll check it out- thanks Tina! I like the beard- maybe I’ll see what you see 😆

Hi Tino, hope you are doing well! Are there any songs you like to play in order to warm up before a session?

Hello Tino! Hope everything's fine for you today! Just wanted to ask, what are the exercises you would recommend in order to play the bass with your fingers on a fast tempo? And what is your approach of the bass as an instrument in composition, more like a rhythmic support, or more like a melodic instrument just like the guitars and violin? Thanks! :)

Ciao Tino, What is something not many people know about you? And what is something people should absolutely visit, when visiting Italy besides the obvious tourist attractions? Thank you so much for answering our questions and have a wonderful day.

Hi Tino. How are your Italian cooking skills ? Your favorite pasta dish ? Can you do Cacio E Pepe ? Does pineapple go on pizza ? Did you know that a pizza with height "a" and radius "z" has a volume of "pi.z.z.a" ? How's your slimmed down bass experience being going so far? Could you jam some non-NeO stuff a bit ? Btw, have you learned Tapestries of the starless abstract ? :p Grazie mille.

Hey Martino :-) -Will you stay in Australia a little longer after the tour in May for some new album writing sessions? -And another one: Describe yourself and also all the other NeO guys with 3 words each ;-) Grazie!

Hi! I feel so lucky being able to ask you some of my questions😆 1. Is there any kind of legacy that the former NeO bassist left on you? 2. Your favorite lyrics from Urn? 3. As a musician, can you tell me your artistic aim for the next album? And this sounds really really stupid but did you ever have a bite of that infamous 불닭볶음면(which I handed to you guys in Korea)? Sorry but I had to ask😂 Thank you! Hope you have the greatest of time everyday🤟

.... was that the Korean food half of them got food poisoning from..... ? 😉

Hopefully not but it’s true that the guilty was all mine when I heard the news... But if it was, will I be condemned forever?😫

Hello Tino, I’m curious how you handle being in separate bands and how you take care of yourself while keeping up and keeping sane. Also, you posted an IG story that you cried watching “A Star is Born” (very cute reaction btw...) Did you like it or hate it? What are your favorite movies? Thank you!!

Haha, Tina cracks me up 😂 Might have not been from you, Moon, but at least no one died, right?!

😭... I really wish that it stays on as a joke because if it doesn’t I’m sure I’ll die with all my guilt... Sorry about my seriousness😇

Heya Martino. I'm playing bass more but get fatigued far quicker than playing guitar just because of the size of it. Any tips for building stamina for bass playing? Also any good starting points to move from playing with a pick to fingers?
