The Official HALESTORM Thread

[Timotheus]

Imagine Alter Bridge with a fat, douchebag singer..

Oooh Timmy getting controversial

[Timotheus]

I was just kiddiiing! Don't get offended, Craig.

She may not be the hottest singer around but she is pretty and her talent and presence makes her more sexy to me. They are an energetic live band and that's what I want at a concert, not just someone who sounds exactly like the album.

I liked Halestorm before I knew what Lzzy looked like. But to me she's attractive. I like her because she's down to earth and, ya know, normal. Better than a lot of pop singers I can barely recognize without their costumes and makeup.

I liked Halestorm before I knew what Lzzy looked like.

Ditto. In fact that's probably true of 99% of bands I listen to. I remember hearing "I Get Off" on the radio, and thinking, "wow, a female rock voice I actually like."

+1. It just took me forever to start listening to them.
although the looks don't hurt much:

the guitar adds another point of hotness to be fair

Honestly, I didn't know a thing about them before the first time I saw them as an opener. Had no idea they had a female singer, and when she started the acapella thing, and first came out, with the lights down and everything, in the first moment I wasn't sure if she was actually a she or if it was a dude with a total Steven Tyler thing going on. Once I realized she was wearing a dress, I knew. But the voice, the acapella opening, caught me long before I realized she was such a fox.

Unfortunately these days even that's not always a sure thing

Lzzy Hale at the moment she received the news that "Love Bites" was nominated for a Grammy:

Why does every band with a female singer always end up being a wank fest? This is the reason those type of bands always break up, the female lead always gets all the attention.

[Andy92]

Arejay Hale is getting a pretty good name in the rock community as a drummer too. He's one of my top 5 favorites. Sure, he doesn't get as much attention as Lzzy, but few drummers do get more attention than the lead singer in a rock band, male or female fronted.

good music ... horrendous lyrics

[anguyen92]

Hmmmm, I have always relied on Jericho to give me some info on current rock music events and this should be very noticeable. If it's true, then, well done to them. They are really moving on up now.

Her great voice is shadowed by her lack of taste. The lyrics are worse than Nickelback's worst.

They did win for best Hard Rock/Metal performance with Love Bites. Cool for them.

Congrats to Halestorm! Great band & greater people!!

Absolutely! Love those guys, SO proud of them for their big win yesterday!

But I keep hearing this about their lyrics. Can someone clue me in as to what's so bad about them? Specific examples? Cause I love them to pieces, and I haven't heard a thing from them, lyrically, that sounded cheesy or out of place. If you just don't like sexual lyrics in general (which is only a fraction of their catalog), then that's on you.
