First Time Reaction | Halestorm - "Love Bites" (So Do I)

[@joshgavin1939]

She is so criminally underrated in my opinion, one of the best rock vocalists out there period!

[@AileenSenpai]

agreed!!

[@fantasyrogue1996]

Believe it or not, Lzzy and the drummer, Arejay, are actually siblings. Both trained with their father, who helped found the band. So those two have had so many years of training to be so in sync that it's amazing.

[@danninielsen8876]

As noone else has commented more Halestorm yet, i will. Some of my favourites are "I am the fire" "I miss the misery" "Daughters of Darkness" and "Familiar taste of poison" All of them are insanely awesome :) Great reaction as always :)

Lzzy Hale - the queen of Hardrock...listen more, more, more

[@Sithspit_Rogue]

I've seen them a few times in New Orleans, one time a solo show; they did a half hour or so acoustic set to "open" for themselves, and then did a full length "amped" set. Now, I'm 51 years old, and I've been seeing bands play live since the mid '80s...dozens of bands, uncounted shows, some more than once. Also, I too am a musician, vocalist and bassist. That being said, I've never seen a single band play live that could match Halestorm for how precisely TIGHT they are as a group. Even when they deviate from a song and improvise or freestyle, they know each other so well they STILL don't miss a single note or timing with it. Phenomenally talented band; if you get a chance to see them live, take it, don't miss it.

[@AileenSenpai]

wow they really have great chemistry together. I love that so much. they seem like such a tight-knit family. I hope to see a live performance one day

[@vicprovost2561]

I am 66 and totally agree, I am an old school hard rocker and they are the best of this century, for sure.

[@thancrow]

@@AileenSenpai The band has been together for around 20 years.

[@rod-contracts1616]

All their songs are great. Includes their covers, and Lzzy's collaborations - awesome. Waiting for the next album!

[@do.not.perceive.me.]

they are BEYOND phenomenal live; she is unfuckingreal live and blew me so far away i went into the stratosphere when i saw them with evanescence a couple weeks ago. phenomenal front woman backed up with serious, serious, SERIOUS vocals. if you ever get the chance to see them live, it’s an absolute must. studio recordings don’t hold a damn candle to her live prowess.

[@jacklegend5798]

"I Miss the Misery" has some impressive Halestorm vocals,, "Freak Like Me" is my favorite song of theirs, and I can't believe no one has reacted to "Apocalyptic" yet.

[@nunyab.9865]

Halestorm - I Am The Fire 🤘🏻

[@B.Wilde1]

Her vocals are even more impressive in person 🤘

[@Lougimbook]

Lzzy Hale is a damn national treasure!

[@davidchalifoux504]

The first time I saw Lzzy Hale was back in 2014 on the CMT Music Awards. She did a duet with Country Star Eric Church. Its called Thats Damn Rock and Roll. She out sang him. You can see Nicole Kidman ask who's that? Lol Lzzy has collaborated with a lot of other singers and bands. Tom Keifer (Cinderella), Lindsay Sterling to name a couple.

[@MrCmad1104]

I’ve seen Halestorm with Chevelle. Her vocals when she starts the show is amazing!!!!! Her brother on the drums is dope as hell.

[@AileenSenpai]

I love them so much! Can’t wait to hear more :)

[@narlimarli7406]

Lzzy is simply the absolute best. I would recommend her collaboration with The Picturebooks and Halestorm's newest song Back from the Dead. I have been a fan them for a few years. However, I only recently discovered some of their older songs. The one that stands out for me is called 'Takes My Life'. The best video, imo, was done in 2006 live ( I don't know how to put the KZbin video link). Very Janis Joplinish'. So good. It's kind of bizarre that people are just learning of Halestorm. They've been together for a long time. Lzzy and her brother formed the bank when she is just 14 years old. Another thing I love about Halestorm is all if not most of them write or contribute musically to their own songs. A lot of bands don't do that. And these music companies and managers push bands that fit their own views of what a band needs to be. And I believe don't put others out there, so the ones they like don't get outshined. That's just my opinion.

[@Weezor]

She's a freaking rock star. Saw her live she's incredible

[@eduardopatraca3272]

I love Lizzy Hale, she's such a great singer. I suggest you listen to "I miss the misery" or "Familiar taste of poison" next.

[@feardabrood]

The drums do fit her voice, and it might be si ce her brother plays them. This is a worthy rabbit hole. I saw this band perform as an opener for a barely advertised free show in Boston about two years before their first album came out, and they definitely left an impression. I saw them again a few months later playing with Shinedown they were signing autographs for a EP that they released with some of their songs and I remember asking them when their first album would be out and they said they thought it was still far off but they had that first one next year and they did not disappoint. You should check out a bunch of their songs but I Miss The Misery, it's not you, here's to us, and I am the fire are probably the next few logical choices.

[@AileenSenpai]

ahh makes sense...they have great chemistry together.

Nothing compares to when she's singing on stage, recording of her on stage don't even do justice because her voice doesn't sound the same in a video as it does in person. Her vocals are phenomenal

[@KingRichard1013]

I got to see her live and let me tell you something Lzzy Hale is magical. This girl can sing her fucking balls off and throughout the whole show I did not hear not one sign of her voice getting worn out or getting shot like she sounded good throughout the whole show she was hitting every note pitch perfectly i’m like thinking to myself she’s not even human like how can you manage to go that hard and singing that hard throughout the whole show and not show any signs of slowing down well it’s like I said she is magical.

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Damn ! That was excellent. Lizzy is a bad-ass beast. She reminds me of another singer/band you absolutely must check out - Taylor Momsen and her band The Pretty Reckless. Have an awesome weekend Aileen.

[@comtraxmultimediabolivia]

Iam in love from Bolivia Latinoamerica, LOVEBITES, Guitarists Miyako and Midori are both from the city of Osaka, both took piano lessons for years (Midori also learned organ), and both took up the guitar relatively late. Midori went to music school - Musicians Institute Osaka branch, where one of her instructors was the late Mikio Fujioka, lead guitarist of Babymetal's Kami Band - and Miyako is basically self-taught. Miyako made use of a well-known instructional book series, whose title literally translated into English is "Mechanical Training Phrases from Hell", working her way through the entire guitar series. There are versions of these instructional books for bass and drums too, and there's hardly a Japanese musician on those instruments who hasn't studied them.

I heared this song for the first time. First of all its a great song i can vibe to it already after listening to it once. Also it reassures me that i have a preference for women with bangs. I don't know why this hair style is so adorable to me but i can't deny it. If i get a girlfriend one day i will be her hairdresser and i will cut her this hairstyle if she let's me... I will practice untill i can do it.

This one is a good song/video of them. So fast paced. One of my favorite bands. Saw them in concert back then. Good reaction. Thanks for sharing.

[@hollywoodliberal1]

I think at least part of the reason why the drums compliment her voice so well is because the drummer is her brother.

[@David_D.926]

I highly recommend her cover of Little Big Town's song "Girl Crush".

[@ProducerJames91]

My favorite covers from Halestorm are: For their best demonstrations (1# Vocal) Slave To The Grind and (1# Rhythm guitar) Up All Night To Get Lucky....."Ms. Hyde" is another great original and so is "Daughters Of Darkness."

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, more Halestorm indeed, you need much more Lzzy Hale in your life. She is my favorite singer since Eddie Veddar of Pearl Jam, no matter the genre or gender. She is a freaking force of nature and the Goddess of real rock in the 21st century. I have seen her 3 times in the last 5 years and her and her white hot band have killed it each time, the last one she opened for Alice Cooper and came out for his encore of School's Out and sang with him and jammed out with his crack band. Try I Miss the Misery, Rock Show, Freak Like Me and Mayhem. An incredible live set by Halestorm is at Pink Pop 2016, it is worth searching for, one of their best hour of on fire tunes you will ever hear. I am an old Hippie of 66 who can't believe how good they were there.. Enjoy! 🎸

Lzzy and Halestorm are really awesome, but she also does a cover of " Will Always Love You" which is incredible, you might want check out Lzzy with Mongolian rockers The Hu on the song, "Song Of Women" another great song.

I just saw them in Phoenix 2 weeks ago with Plush (they did a fantastic cover of Heart's "Baracuda") and Evanescence. Awesome show! Halestorm just looked like they were having fun the whole time and put on an awesome performance. Arejay had about an 8-minute solo in the middle of their set that was just crazy (he even brought out some giant drumsticks (5-footers!) to play with).

I don't know how much you know about Lzzy Hale & Halestorm. Her and her little brother(the drummer) started Halestorm in 1996 When she was 13 and Arejay(brother) was 10. They Finally added Joe Hottenger(Guitar) in 2003 & Josh Smith(Bass & Keys)in 2004 and they released their first CD in 2009. Though they signed a record deal with Atlantic records in 2005. The years before recording and releasing their forst CD they just toured constantly to hone the bands sound. If you liked this song which they won a grammy in Hard rock/metal preformance (first female fronted band to win this Grammy) then you should check out "I Miss The Missery"Live if you can, actually any thing they play is 10Xs better LIVE, "I Am The Fire" "Familiar Taste Of Poison" "I Will Always Love You"(live it's just her and a baby grand piano) Her voice is amazing on this. Latly she sings a song called " That's Damn Rock & Roll" review the live version at the CMA awards. Her preformance will knock your socks off. On December 18th of this year I will Be going to my 40th Hales storm Show since 2010. I Met them at the first show and being in a wheelchair and a fellow musician (this year marks 42 years i've been a Guitar & Bass player) They took me into the Halestorm Family that night and we've been friends ever since. They are the most HUMBLE, Caring & thankful people you'll ever meet. The certainly have not let their fame go to their heads. Enjoy getting to know their songs because there isn't a bad song in there collection of material.
