There are some good new rock bands out there, but they're unfortunately out of the radars, so mainstream masses don't have a clue about their existence. Some names: - Dirty Honey (a band influenced by The Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses) - South Of Eden (they began their career under the name of Black Coffee) - Void Vator (they're more oriented Heavy Metal) - Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - Starbenders (this band is fronted by a female singer and plays a mix of Glam-Rock, Pop, New-Wave, Classic-Rock and Alternative Rock) - Jax Hollow (a female singer who can also play guitar) - Shaw Davis & The Black Ties (a power-trio who plays Blues-Rock with strong Jimi Hendrix & Stevie Ray Vaughan influences) - Stacie Collins (a female singer in her 40s, but with a lot of energy on stage. She plays a mix of Blues-Rock, Southern-Rock & Classic-Rock) - Fire Tiger (a power-pop band heavily influenced by the 80's) - Kickin Valentina (a Sleaze/Hard Rock band) - Massive (an awesome Hard Rock band from Australia) - The Georgia Thunderbolts - Stone Whiskey (the musicians are not really young, but they know for sure Guns N' Roses, The Cult, AC/DC, Kix, Van Halen) There are also some older bands like Buckcherry, Whiskey Myers, The Cadillac Three, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry, Blackberry Smoke, The Darkness, Volbeat, Crashdiet (a swedish sleaze/glam band with a fantastic debit album called "Rest In Sleaze" in 2005), Ghost, The Black Keys who made some good albums. In Europe, there are also good bands like The Vintage Caravan (a band from Iceland), Heavy Feather (Sweden), Mojothunder (UK), Blues Pill (Sweden), Audrey Horne (Norway), The Night Flight Orchestra (Sweden), Imperial Jade (Spain), Jess And The Ancient Ones (Finland), Kadavar (Germany), Paddy & The Rats (Hungary), Hell In The Club (Italy).
I am a 76 year old woman and back in 2014 I travelled from Northwest Ohio to Nashville to see/hear Halestorm play at a local club there. Got to meet Lzzy and all the band members after, Lzzy hugged me....TWICE! She is so awesome!
_nothing more attractive than someone who unapologetically knows who they are_ I can think of something: someone who has matured beyond giving a shit who they are.
I've seen Halestorm in concert a number of times and have met Lzzy a few times too. They are so incredible live and she is just like that interview when you meet her! Thanks for bringing attention to this incredible band and genre.
I'm a 54 year old semi-metal head, and I can't say I've ever heard of this band, perhaps because I never expected to see a group like this come out of the uninteresting modern music era. But Lzzy is charming, engaging, and interesting, and I really dig their sound. New fan here!
I am fast approaching retirement and am a fan of 60-80's rock (what did Homer Simpson say?). Luckily my older son and younger guys at work have turned me on to new music which does not get a lot of radio time. Halestorm is one that I've enjoyed for the last few years.
There are plenty of interesting modern bands. It takes a bit more effort since you won't find much beyond pablum pop on the radio. In fact just check out Finland. Yeah, that's right- an entire country. It's the most metal country there is. They even have black metal commercials metalinjection.net/video/this-black-metal-finnish-cough-drop-commercial-is-basically-the-best
I've been absolutely in love with Lzzy since I first heard "I Get Off". Not only for her fierce physical beauty, but for her raw, powerful vocals, and her massive talent.
Thank you for this video. Halestorm is one of my alltime favorite bands. I tell anyone who will listen that Lzzy was born 30 years too late, because she would have been at home in the 80s beside Heart, Lita, Joan Jett, and Pat Benatar.
Hey Prof! Have you ever thought of interviewing Alice Cooper? A genuinely nice, smart guy! I'm sure he would grant you an interview. Plus, I bet he's got a lot of great stories! Side note: I just wanted to thank and appreciate you Prof, for turning me on to "new" music! I new Halestorm existed, but I never listened to them. In my mind, after the 90's, I stopped really listening to new acts, because I just didn't hear anything I really liked. I'm gonna check them out. Plus, she's really, really easy on the eyes!
Been a HUGE fan of Halestorm ever since I saw them on Bar Rescue!! They did a little bit of their show and I was BLOWN AWAY!! Lzzy is AMAZING!! Love her songs. Love her energy…. She and the band deserve EVERY accolade they receive!!
Excellent interview with Lzzy! Great story on how they started, she truly is the real deal! I’ve been a huge fan of Halestorm since 2009 and I absolutely love all four of them, such awesome humans and incredibly talented as well! Their music has definitely helped me get through many moments in my life! Very inspiring and genuine!
She really gives a great interview. I really like her song I Miss The Missory. She also doe the vocals on a Lindsey Sterling song called Shatter Me. She really kills it on that song. I hope she and the band can stick around for a while. They have great potential.
The song above is I Miss the Misery and they are already legend. So they are gonna be around for a long time. Lzzy has done so many collaborations with Corey Taylor, Myles Kennedy, David Draiman, the Hu, Nita Strauss, Slash, Dee Snider, Amy Lee, Apocalyptica, Dream Theatre, Taylor Momsen, Tom Keifer, Daughtry, & a plethora of other insanely talented musicians. Halestorm also performed on a ship with other notably famous musicians in front of Sammy Hagar, who was blown away from both the band and Lzzy beast vocals especially since that specific performance Lzzy herself was not happy with. Nevertheless, she still managed to highly impress Sammy Hagar on what Lzzy herself considered to be a bad day performing vocally.
It is so great to see and hear her generation carrying on the rock music I love, keeping rock alive with their style and sound, Rock on and carry the torch. I want see them live now, thanks professor, she is a great personality and inspiration for rock girls and heavy music
I know the name but don't know the music. Lizzy is great. Such a normal, outgoing person who happens to be a rock star. I'll definitely have to dig into Halestorms catalog now. Adam, thanks again for another great interview.
@@ProfessorofRock And that's the thing... new music! I don't normally listen to metal, but I'm open to it. And hearing from this artist has me curious enough to look into their catalog and see what new things I can enjoy along with the great hits of ... OMG, has it really been that long? 40 years ago?
I've always loved the lizzie Hale. I love her more now. She's so down-to-earth and just real. Plus she rocks . Thanks Professor for another great video.
I became a Halestorm fan tonight. Absolutely fantastic, and I've got a wonderful discography ahead of me. Just listened to 'Mz. Hyde' and that Alice Cooper influence was front stage with their own fascinating spin, and that VOICE on 'Here's To Us!' Woooooooow. Thanks, Professor.
I'll be honest, I'd heard of Halestorm before but have not really listened to much of their music. I'm not really into Heavy Metal like Lamb of God, Megadeath and the ilk. Now I may check them out! I love that she covered Skid Row's Slave to the Grind. While she is 7 years younger than me, we had similar experiences growing up. My Dad's favorite bands were Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, DIO, AC/DC and the ilk and then I was huge into Cinderella, Tesla, Motley Crue and Joan Jett as a pre-teen and teen. My dad made me an Alice Cooper mix tape that had School's Out on it for the last day of school when I was in 5th grade. All my friends and school mates thought it was really weird as they were all listening to top 40 and pop. Later in high school, most of my friends were into NKOTB, Milli Vannilli, MC Hammer, while I was listening to Hard Rock and some Heavy Metal.
So stoked you are doing a segment on Lzzy Hale. Her vocals are insane & the musicianship of the band is so good!!! Funny story of how I came across the band Halestorm. My wife is a hair stylist/cosmetologist. She cut/styled Joe Hottinger’s hair & his Father’s. Joe & my wife got to talking one day & he asked my wife, if her husband liked rock music. My wife said, YES!!! So he gave her a live album of Halestorm… Live in Philly. I think it had like 12 tracks on it, I was like yeah, sure, I’ll check it out. Threw it the old C.D. Player, in the car & from It’s Not You, the 1st track, to Better Sorry Than Safe, the 12th track, I was hooked!!! I was showing everyone I knew that C.D. I told my wife I can’t believe this band isn’t already famous?!?!?!? I even trough up song’s on my FB page!!! When I threw up Better Sorry Than Safe, I wrote… Take another little pice of my Halestorm baby! Lol 😂 Listen to that live track & you’ll understand why. After a couple of year’s, I heard Halestorm on the radio & was super stoked! Got home & asked my wife if she was still styling Joe’s hair & she said, she hadn’t seen him in awhile & just figured he’d found another stylist. I said, I just heard them on the radio & that’s probably why you haven’t seen or heard from him. Looks like they’re living the dream & you probably will never see him again. (Small world) Now I’ve gotta buy all the new album’s, no more free-bees. They’re covers of Heart, Temple Of The Dog, Cher, Lady Gaga, Cher, etc. are freaking amazing!
What a fantastic interview! I was not familiar with her, the band, or their song but I thoroughly enjoyed her passion and zeal! As a father of a very talented daughter, I love stories where women are inspired to be their best and truest selves. Especially inspiring is when their work reaches a whole new generation of women (i.e. the Japanese all female band Love Bites). That clip of them singing together brought a tear to my eye! Please keep up the fantastic work!!!
I just became a fan of Halestorm as a result of this video. What an incredible story. I can relate to being the outcast in school. 1984 I was 14. Only wore band tshirts, had long hair earrings and simply loved all things metal. The school I was in was dominated by classic rock fans who didn't get it. By the time I graduated in 88 most of the class had at least shoulder length hair!! Not saying I had any influence, but it was alot of fun to watch all the bullies that shamed and name called jump on the bandwagon. I appreciated this young women's story, her voice and her ability as well as her humility and sense of humor. More blessings to her and her band for even greater future success. Hadn't heard of them until today!!
Halestorm is one of the premier rock bands of this era. And Lizzy ROCKS not only is she beautiful shes got a great rock voice. I love the rotating drum riser ala Tommy Lee
Lzzy gives me faith that the younger generations CAN produce real music without auto tune. She and Lita Ford killed it on Close My Eyes Forever. I love the range and quality of her voice so much. Prof, this is by far my favorite interview. How about Unleash the Archers?
Now I still love and enjoy the original version but this one with Lita is the best version. Even Lita herself, stated after singing it with her that she was blown away by Lzzy's voice.
As a former South Central Pennsylvanian I am glad to see this one as I remember seeing some of their early gigs. I knew then that they were something special. It's also refreshing to see young people (I can't believe I'm saying that) with an appreciation for the music of my youth as well.
I remember seeing them perform at a Borders book store in York, PA. They were so young and were just thrilled to be performing live. Lizzy on lead vocals and a fender rhodes, Arejay on drums, and their father on bass guitar. Their mom was artist relations , publicist, road manager, security, etc. etc. I was in my late 20's. They wanted my girlfriend to join their band (she was one of two guitarists in a band called Aslan). They came a long way. They worked super hard to get where they are. Kudos to you and your parents Halestorm. I wish you all the best. God Bless you all!
The whole band is awesome and Lzzy is so genuinely sweet. I have seen them four or five times and their shows are killer. Seeing them live reminds me of how I felt when I was seeing hard rock bands in the 80s. I’m stoked you interviewed Lzzy for your show.
Great episode and interview Professor! This is music my daughter listened too, Lzzy is about the age of my oldest daughter, great to hear her story of listening to her parents music, reminds me of my daughter listening to my music at that day and time! Thanks for sharing her story!
I saw Halestorm 5 times in a year. 4 of those times were in the span of 4 months. I live near where Lzzy is from and had no idea who they were until August of 2012, and I am so glad to have heard of them. Halestorm, for all intents and purposes, helped add a few more memories to the memory bank with my girls - Ringing in 2013 at a show in MD and celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday in Atlantic City. Their music is refreshing and fun. I don't go to a Halestorm show for any reason other than to have fun. Their passion is infectious.
You’re exactly right Adam!! Lzzy is the real deal and she seems so down to earth that you wouldn’t think you would be star-struck being around her. But, even then…that WOULD make you star-struck in of itself!!
The Warning is the best band! They're a trio of sisters who Rock! They just finished their 3rd album in February and their first single Choke came out last month the next single Evolve is coming out tomorrow.
A great up and coming rock band is The Warning. They are three sisters from Monterey, Mexico. They just released two Awesome tracks/videos from their soon to be released third album called "Choke" and "Evolve".
Lzzy speaks to the teen in me that never fit in. She speaks for so many of us. If teen me heard ‘Rock Show’ I’d have been in heaven. Amazing woman and SO good live.
Thank you for spelling her name correctly. Never forget that girl you were is still in there. So, love her & feed her well with all the music that lights you guys up to bring more light and music into this world!!! The world needs more misfits like us.
❤️❤️ Absolutely love Lizzy Hale and Halestorm remember when I first heard them and feel in love with there music. A breathe of fresh air for Rock music!!
She seems super cool and down to earth, not to mention talented. Powerful voice. As a kid I was unable to really take most hard rock/hairbands seriously, but as I've gotten older and listened with a more mature ear I'm actually really impressed with the talent of people like Lizzie Hale and Ronnie James Dio. Also, I like when you feature artists like this to remind me to give this new-to-me stuff a listen. Thank you as always 😊
I'm 51, so probably the same age as her dad... and I grew up on the same music. Alice Cooper, Dio, Sabbath, 80's hair metal... and when I first heard Halestorm it was "I miss the Misery" and I was like... Oh, fuck yeah!!
I was in Yuma, AZ on business the first time I heard I Get Off. Gave the heads up to my wife about this great band back in Indiana and havent stopped listening since.
New? 😆 Saw Halestorm ten years ago here in NOLa. They ..let’s face it Lzzy Hale..and the band were fantastic. But then, Lzzy started singing Heart’s Crazy On You, but the 90’s “Lovemongers “soulful version, acapella. I was the only person who knew exactly what she was doing, as I’m a Heartmonger. I met Lzzy and Joe Hottinger after the show, told her what I loved, and got a pic with them. Lzzy is simply awesome.
In This Moment, Shinedown, Falling in Reverse, Skillet, Motionless in White, Beartooth, The Pretty Reckless, Alterbridge and Highly Suspect are some bands I would look into. Not all new but established bands.
I can relate so much to her 11 years old memory. I was 11 in 2010, everyone over here in my country were into Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga (she´s cool tho) and reggaeton. So i listened to The Police, The Cure, Evanescence, and my friends never understood or enjoyed coming to my house bc they didnt like the music :(
Lzzy really does have a powerful voice; check out Halestorm's cover of "All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You", as well as her duet version of "Nobody's Fool" with Tom Keifer. She has also performed with the likes of Eric Church and Amy Lee, as well as host of AXS TV's "A Year in Music".
@Anna TrailI'm sure you know this, but "Nobody's Fool" is a duet version of the Cinderella power ballad, which was the band Tom Keifer was the frontman for. The Eric Church song is called "That's Damn Rock & Roll", while the Amy Lee one is called "Break In".
@Anna Trail The live at Bestbuy version of "All I want to do, is make love to you" is amazing, something that wasn't able to be captured/ recreated on the recorded version. The CMA version of "That's damn Rock & Roll" with Eric Church is great, he knows she will blow him away vocally but still introduces her to his country audience and shows a happiness and excitement at her performance (much kudos to him!)
Have to check out "July Talk", Canadian band, whose lead singer's voice will blow you away when you see him in person...great songs and awesome in concert
Download Festival 2019 was the last time Slayer was to appear in Melbourne. I stayed for a couple of songs and then walked away to see @Halestorm The best decision I ever made. Saw them a second time at the Forum with my daughter, a blessing as Lzzy is a true role model and not just for the 'girl at the rock show' but for all of us!
I've been under a rock (no pun intended). Really grateful for getting a chance to learn a whole new band. Would love to see a video feature for Southern rockers Bishop Gunn.
You go girl. I remember when I was in 8th grade taking the bus 🚌 to school 🏫 while playing Big Balls on my Boom Box 📦! I was the only Brother with Testicular Fortitude !
I was browsing through UA-cam listening to older rock as I am older, and found some Joan Jett. Watched a couple of videos when youtube recommended a band called Halestorm covering, I hate myself for loving you. Wow! I then found and listened to more videos, went and bought their albums and been a fan ever since. Greatinterview as always.
Love Lizzy & the band, she is quite the workaholic. Was first introduced to the band on a TV program were a guy goes in and redoes a bar to make it successful and Halestorm happened to be the band hired to play the opening. Soon as I heard that voice and it had it was strong and gritty I knew I had to hear more. Great band.
Lzzy does seem SUPER COOL. I was thinking she's GOTTA be an influence for female performers/singers (just like Lita Ford is...) and then she mentioned girls telling her she is, SO AWESOME. I haven't listened to them in a minute, thanks for the great video and getting me motivated to get off my ass and put on their music.
I only discovered this band a couple of years ago when I heard 'Here's To Us' but since then I've tracked down everything they've ever done. Now I just want to see them live - come to Northern Ireland, Lizzy!
So here are my thoughts.... I am SURE you have more of the interview with Lzzy and I hope you air the rest of it. She (and the band) are AWESOME!!!! I love their Lady Gaga cover of Bad Romance. In fact, whether it's something they cover or an original it's all Amazing!! So in the words of Oliver Twist, "Please sir, I want some more!"
Your interview took me back to happy times. I was a big Alice Cooper fan amd loved that style of rock. Lizzy is great. So positive and profound. I wish her all the best and most definitely listen to more of her music.
Great story of a lesser known band. Awesome how they performed in Japan with the singer of a band named after their song. I have watched videos today of this band for the first time ever.
Who are the greatest NEW rock bands on the scene today? Tell us in the comments, maybe we'll find something new and exciting.
Honestly, I don't listen to much new stuff anymore. Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, The Cult, and CKY are pretty much my go-to nowadays.
There not too new, but I live the band Volbeat, they really play well together and is amazing live band!!! Love to know what u think professor.
TV On The Radio. The Struts. JASON ISBELL AND THE 400 UNIT, Royal Blood...
Coheed and Cambria

Baptise Me! Took my daughter to see her a few years ago at the Stone Pone Summer Stage. My daughter was 14 and is now a big Fan! Parenting right!!
Nothing more attractive than someone who unapologetically knows who they are.
She’s got some Joan Jett demeanor to her.
_nothing more attractive than someone who unapologetically knows who they are_
I can think of something: someone who has matured beyond giving a shit who they are.
Right on.
She’s “attractive” in a still. Onstage and performing, she’s a 10.

Alice Cooper is so awesome he was friends with Groucho Marx, in case you hadn’t heard that.

Cinderella’s “Nobody’s Fool” is my favorite song they did.
Gypsy Road is mine, I swear I mash the gas when that song comes on.
I probably listen to the Greatest Hits at least once month. A seriously underrated rock band, and Tom's voice is still amazing.
Shake me
PUSH PUSH
There is a duet of Lzzy and Tom Keiffer doing Nobody's fool on his new solo album. It's awesome.
Love her passion and humbleness with a side of spiciness. Beautiful soul 💗🕊️

Shatter Me deserves every award possible (including for the video). It's a bona-fide masterpiece.
The song above is I Miss the Misery and they are already legend. So they are gonna be around for a long time.

I was showing everyone I knew that C.D. I told my wife I can’t believe this band isn’t already famous?!?!?!? I even trough up song’s on my FB page!!! When I threw up Better Sorry Than Safe, I wrote… Take another little pice of my Halestorm baby! Lol 😂 Listen to that live track & you’ll understand why. After a couple of year’s, I heard Halestorm on the radio & was super stoked! Got home & asked my wife if she was still styling Joe’s hair & she said, she hadn’t seen him in awhile & just figured he’d found another stylist.
I said, I just heard them on the radio & that’s probably why you haven’t seen or heard from him. Looks like they’re living the dream & you probably will never see him again. (Small world) Now I’ve gotta buy all the new album’s, no more free-bees. They’re covers of Heart, Temple Of The Dog, Cher, Lady Gaga, Cher, etc. are freaking amazing!
What a fantastic interview! I was not familiar with her, the band, or their song but I thoroughly enjoyed her passion and zeal! As a father of a very talented daughter, I love stories where women are inspired to be their best and truest selves. Especially inspiring is when their work reaches a whole new generation of women (i.e. the Japanese all female band Love Bites). That clip of them singing together brought a tear to my eye! Please keep up the fantastic work!!!
Such a personable young woman. Very appealing and talented. And attractive.
Wow! Just wow! How cool is she?! I’m blown away by that interview. Ice Nine Kills is a band I’ve been listening to for my “new” metal fix.
I just became a fan of Halestorm as a result of this video.
What an incredible story.
I can relate to being the outcast in school. 1984 I was 14. Only wore band tshirts, had long hair earrings and simply loved all things metal.
The school I was in was dominated by classic rock fans who didn't get it.
By the time I graduated in 88 most of the class had at least shoulder length hair!!
Not saying I had any influence, but it was alot of fun to watch all the bullies that shamed and name called jump on the bandwagon.
I appreciated this young women's story, her voice and her ability as well as her humility and sense of humor.
More blessings to her and her band for even greater future success.
Hadn't heard of them until today!!
Lizzy doing "Shatter Me" with Lindsey Sterling is just amazing!
I agree!!
Halestorm is one of the premier rock bands of this era. And Lizzy ROCKS not only is she beautiful shes got a great rock voice. I love the rotating drum riser ala Tommy Lee
Lzzy gives me faith that the younger generations CAN produce real music without auto tune. She and Lita Ford killed it on Close My Eyes Forever. I love the range and quality of her voice so much.
Prof, this is by far my favorite interview. How about Unleash the Archers?
Now I still love and enjoy the original version but this one with Lita is the best version. Even Lita herself, stated after singing it with her that she was blown away by Lzzy's voice.
One of the best interviews ever! I love Lzzy. ❤ This just rekindled my love of hard rock! ❤
Lzzy is easily the best female vocalist currently in the rock genre.
I have never even heard of her or her band so this was awesome. What a great story - thanks for putting this together! Very cool. :)
As a former South Central Pennsylvanian I am glad to see this one as I remember seeing some of their early gigs. I knew then that they were something special. It's also refreshing to see young people (I can't believe I'm saying that) with an appreciation for the music of my youth as well.
I remember seeing Halestorm in concert in Houston as one of the opening acts for Alice Cooper 2 years ago and Lzzy said something about this.
Very cool.
I saw them when Sam Goody used to have in store performances
I remember seeing them perform at a Borders book store in York, PA. They were so young and were just thrilled to be performing live. Lizzy on lead vocals and a fender rhodes, Arejay on drums, and their father on bass guitar. Their mom was artist relations , publicist, road manager, security, etc. etc. I was in my late 20's. They wanted my girlfriend to join their band (she was one of two guitarists in a band called Aslan). They came a long way. They worked super hard to get where they are. Kudos to you and your parents Halestorm. I wish you all the best. God Bless you all!
An Absolute & Powerful Interview!!!! These Are Mega Stories That Will Be Forever Shared Within The True Rock Circles!
Thank you!
@@ProfessorofRock I Appreciate The Time and Dedication You Bring To The Interviews! I'd Love To See You Interview, Vinnie Vincent-
Great interview, inspirational lady. Can see why they succeeded
Love Lzzy's attitude. You go girl.
The whole band is awesome and Lzzy is so genuinely sweet. I have seen them four or five times and their shows are killer. Seeing them live reminds me of how I felt when I was seeing hard rock bands in the 80s. I’m stoked you interviewed Lzzy for your show.
Lzzy is the current reigning queen. Seen Halestorm 10 or 11 times now. Never disappoint. Would also love to see you interview Maria Brink.
Great episode and interview Professor! This is music my daughter listened too, Lzzy is about the age of my oldest daughter, great to hear her story of listening to her parents music, reminds me of my daughter listening to my music at that day and time! Thanks for sharing her story!
I saw Halestorm 5 times in a year. 4 of those times were in the span of 4 months. I live near where Lzzy is from and had no idea who they were until August of 2012, and I am so glad to have heard of them. Halestorm, for all intents and purposes, helped add a few more memories to the memory bank with my girls - Ringing in 2013 at a show in MD and celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday in Atlantic City. Their music is refreshing and fun. I don't go to a Halestorm show for any reason other than to have fun. Their passion is infectious.
You’re exactly right Adam!!
Lzzy is the real deal and she seems so down to earth that you wouldn’t think you would be star-struck being around her.
But, even then…that WOULD make you star-struck in of itself!!
The Warning is the best band! They're a trio of sisters who Rock! They just finished their 3rd album in February and their first single Choke came out last month the next single Evolve is coming out tomorrow.
"Isn't she awesome?" You kidding? She's beautiful and brilliant! Thank you for a marvelous introduction to this band, I'm looking forward to more.
I met lzzy twice, both times in Nashville
They are all great and so nice to their fans 🙂
A great up and coming rock band is The Warning. They are three sisters from Monterey, Mexico. They just released two Awesome tracks/videos from their soon to be released third album called "Choke" and "Evolve".
Lzzy speaks to the teen in me that never fit in. She speaks for so many of us. If teen me heard ‘Rock Show’ I’d have been in heaven.
Amazing woman and SO good live.
Thank you for spelling her name correctly. Never forget that girl you were is still in there. So, love her & feed her well with all the music that lights you guys up to bring more light and music into this world!!! The world needs more misfits like us.
What a great interview .Lzzy is a top rock singer and such a cool personality.
She does a version of Skid Row's 'Slave to the Grind' that is just mind-blowing.
I met Lzzy and the guys in 2010 at Uproarfest. Awsum people! Been following their career since day one. Happy for 'em. Wish 'em all the best.🤘🇺🇲🤘
I heard one of their covers and just freaking fell in LOVE with them, and that song just rocks. A totally deserved win IMHO.
Never heard of them but thank you Professor for introducing me to a band that checks all the boxes.
Professor! Your a master interviewer! Well informed and true fan!!
Love Halestorm. Can't get enough of them and Lzzy. She is Amazing!
❤️❤️ Absolutely love Lizzy Hale and Halestorm remember when I first heard them and feel in love with there music. A breathe of fresh air for Rock music!!
She seems super cool and down to earth, not to mention talented. Powerful voice. As a kid I was unable to really take most hard rock/hairbands seriously, but as I've gotten older and listened with a more mature ear I'm actually really impressed with the talent of people like Lizzie Hale and Ronnie James Dio. Also, I like when you feature artists like this to remind me to give this new-to-me stuff a listen. Thank you as always 😊
Thank you for your always positive and passionate comments!
I'm 51, so probably the same age as her dad... and I grew up on the same music. Alice Cooper, Dio, Sabbath, 80's hair metal... and when I first heard Halestorm it was "I miss the Misery" and I was like... Oh, fuck yeah!!
I was in Yuma, AZ on business the first time I heard I Get Off. Gave the heads up to my wife about this great band back in Indiana and havent stopped listening since.
New? 😆 Saw Halestorm ten years ago here in NOLa. They ..let’s face it Lzzy Hale..and the band were fantastic. But then, Lzzy started singing Heart’s Crazy On You, but the 90’s “Lovemongers “soulful version, acapella. I was the only person who knew exactly what she was doing, as I’m a Heartmonger. I met Lzzy and Joe Hottinger after the show, told her what I loved, and got a pic with them. Lzzy is simply awesome.
In This Moment, Shinedown, Falling in Reverse, Skillet, Motionless in White, Beartooth, The Pretty Reckless, Alterbridge and Highly Suspect are some bands I would look into. Not all new but established bands.
I can relate so much to her 11 years old memory. I was 11 in 2010, everyone over here in my country were into Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga (she´s cool tho) and reggaeton. So i listened to The Police, The Cure, Evanescence, and my friends never understood or enjoyed coming to my house bc they didnt like the music :(
Saw Halestorm just before the pandemic At "The GOV" a pub venue in Adelaide South Australia. They blew me away, It was a great show, unforgettable.
Lzzy Hale is a hidden Gem. Thanks for doing this.
Lzzy really does have a powerful voice; check out Halestorm's cover of "All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You", as well as her duet version of "Nobody's Fool" with Tom Keifer. She has also performed with the likes of Eric Church and Amy Lee, as well as host of AXS TV's "A Year in Music".
@Anna TrailI'm sure you know this, but "Nobody's Fool" is a duet version of the Cinderella power ballad, which was the band Tom Keifer was the frontman for. The Eric Church song is called "That's Damn Rock & Roll", while the Amy Lee one is called "Break In".
@Anna Trail The live at Bestbuy version of "All I want to do, is make love to you" is amazing, something that wasn't able to be captured/ recreated on the recorded version. The CMA version of "That's damn Rock & Roll" with Eric Church is great, he knows she will blow him away vocally but still introduces her to his country audience and shows a happiness and excitement at her performance (much kudos to him!)
Have to check out "July Talk", Canadian band, whose lead singer's voice will blow you away when you see him in person...great songs and awesome in concert
Download Festival 2019 was the last time Slayer was to appear in Melbourne. I stayed for a couple of songs and then walked away to see @Halestorm The best decision I ever made. Saw them a second time at the Forum with my daughter, a blessing as Lzzy is a true role model and not just for the 'girl at the rock show' but for all of us!
My husband absolutely loves Halestorm.
I do like a few of their songs but I haven't heard enough to say I love them/her.
I've been under a rock (no pun intended). Really grateful for getting a chance to learn a whole new band. Would love to see a video feature for Southern rockers Bishop Gunn.
You go girl. I remember when I was in 8th grade taking the bus 🚌 to school 🏫 while playing Big Balls on my Boom Box 📦! I was the only Brother with Testicular Fortitude !
based on your avatar, you are in need of some ree-leaf
@@rhuephus Hell to the Yeah!
Seen several of her vids here on YT. She kicks ass!
She is amazing.....there are some amazing ladies in modern metal like Paramore, Flyleaf, and the girls in Skillet, and Moriah Formica.
I was browsing through UA-cam listening to older rock as I am older, and found some Joan Jett. Watched a couple of videos when youtube recommended a band called Halestorm covering, I hate myself for loving you. Wow! I then found and listened to more videos, went and bought their albums and been a fan ever since. Greatinterview as always.
I love them and her!!! After “Love Bites” new fans should check out their cover of “Straight Through The Heart” on the DIO tribute album!!!
'Love bites' showed up on my UA-cam, I loved it and Lzzy so much I went out and bought every CD they had.
Saw Halestorm with Alice Cooper in 2019 at an outdoor venue in Texas. Lizzy ROCKS!!!!
She is brilliant and has an amazing voice. Not to mention a great guitar player.
Love Lizzy & the band, she is quite the workaholic. Was first introduced to the band on a TV program were a guy goes in and redoes a bar to make it successful and Halestorm happened to be the band hired to play the opening. Soon as I heard that voice and it had it was strong and gritty I knew I had to hear more. Great band.
She is def a workaholic!
The look in her eyes when she’s singing……like “Don’t f*ck with me!” My first exposure to Halestorm was Miss the Misery. It was like…..
Wow!!
Lzzy does seem SUPER COOL. I was thinking she's GOTTA be an influence for female performers/singers (just like Lita Ford is...) and then she mentioned girls telling her she is, SO AWESOME. I haven't listened to them in a minute, thanks for the great video and getting me motivated to get off my ass and put on their music.
Bring her again, evry week, she´s the Queen.
I saw this band in concert back in 2009. Dawg Jam in Beaumont, Tx. The Black Crowes headlined.
Very cool. Thanks for commenting.
Here’s to us got my family through some hard times and is our anthem. Thank you so much Lizzie Hale🤘
What a great interview, she has amazing energy and seems very genuine, loved it, thank you.
I just love Lzzy Hale. Totally awesome the band is.
I only discovered this band a couple of years ago when I heard 'Here's To Us' but since then I've tracked down everything they've ever done. Now I just want to see them live - come to Northern Ireland, Lizzy!
So here are my thoughts.... I am SURE you have more of the interview with Lzzy and I hope you air the rest of it. She (and the band) are AWESOME!!!! I love their Lady Gaga cover of Bad Romance. In fact, whether it's something they cover or an original it's all Amazing!! So in the words of Oliver Twist, "Please sir, I want some more!"
+1 Bad Romance cover. Excellent. It makes it listenable.
Halestorm is awesome. I need to see them! I listen to them everyday!
Your interview took me back to happy times. I was a big Alice Cooper fan amd loved that style of rock. Lizzy is great. So positive and profound. I wish her all the best and most definitely listen to more of her music.
Great interview and great stories! I have been a casual fan of Halestorm, ready to dig deeper now. Thanks for reminding me of their awesomeness!
Thanks, Adam. Lzzy is the greatest girl in modern rock music.
Very good interview
Great story of a lesser known band. Awesome how they performed in Japan with the singer of a band named after their song. I have watched videos today of this band for the first time ever.
Shinedown, Volbeat and Dino Jelusick are all AMAZING!!! Would love to see interviews with all of them.
