Halestorm

Nowadays there aren’t many female fronted heavy rock bands that possess such power and pizzazz commanding the full attention of the room- thank goodness for Pennsylvanian quartet Halestorm. There is almost some kind of stigma attached to the term ‘female-fronted’ when it comes to rock music, a genre so dominated by the male species. The difference with Halestorm is that gender is irrelevant, but what is important is the fact that they have the ability make incredible rock music.
The beginnings of Halestorm came as a part of siblings Lzzy (vocals) and Arejay Hale’s (Drums) upbringing, musically in tune with each other they began to form the band with their dad filling in on bass duties at the start. The line-up was soon solidified through the addition of Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith on bass and rhythm guitar. Through relentless touring with bands like: Papa Roach, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and Evanescence- the band fine-tuned their performances whilst creating a name for themselves and winning over hoards of fans.
There’s no denying the incredible capabilities of Lzzy’s vocals- gravelly, raw and pitch perfect. She is a pure delight to watch, often dressed in leather attire and guitar in tow she effortlessly belts out songs like “Love Bites (So Do I)”, “Daughters of Darkness” and “Mz Hyde”. The audience are enthralled by the electric energy that the band possess as Arejay enthusiastically and passionately drums away, interchanging his drumsticks several times during the set. Throwing in a few covers including Judas Priest’s “Dissident Aggressor” and ending with “I Get Off”, they can do no wrong. With effortless, energetic and phenomenal performances time after time, Halestorm will blow your mind.

In this Moment was amazing as always but as an avid Halestorm fan (who paid $150 for a table, $150+ in March, $29 for entry ticket) I am massively disappointed in the Halestorm show.

First off, I live in Dallas and drove to Houston for this show. She said "what's up Dallas?!?!". Seriously? How do you screw up where you are at. Then trying to make up for mistake made it even worse. She could have just said it was a joke and moved on, but no, lets buy the audience back by filling their ears with BS for five more minutes.

5 of the songs were covers of songs they did not write/create. One of which was a partial of an Adele song...which if you're even going to attempt an Adele song, you'd better slam that ball out of the park. The ball never left the stage. Meaning she struck out and it was the most horrible thing I've ever seen her do. What's wrong with singing your own songs?? Oh. Wait. Its because they don't have any new ones to sing.

Also.mmgiving your brother/drummer a 20 minute solo to eat up your set time was disappointing. He is great and talented, but really?? Halestorm is losing it, and fast. The place was clearing out way before the set was over and she needs to take some advice from Maria Brink and go back to her roots, figure out where she came from and then sing and write her own damm songs. I will be showing my videos of all the horrible moments of the show and can guarantee their fan base in dallas decreases. I spent $500 that night for nothing. In this moment should have been the headliner and then I would not Care about what money I spent on the worst show I've seen in years and I travel all year long across the country for suowsband festivals

So here's the thing about this show, I had tickets to their previous Vancouver date which got cancelled, and had had VIP tickets which I was very sour about them not being honored at this date. Needless to say I was already a little jilted as a fan, but when I got into the commodore my heart was further broken by the absolutely abysmal merch counter. Only XL hoodies in one style and a tshirt that was not even from this tour. Merch is the sweetest part of the pie and I was bitterly sad towards my options.
Things started to pick up as people were too busy buying drinks at the venue to line up in front of the stage so we walked right into second row.
When the lights went down and the music started, I have to say that despite my prior sadness, Halestorm puts on one hellova show. The crowd was great the songs were amazing, Lzzy was amazing and I was close enough to see the sweat poor off the band. Not only that but my wish for a souvenir was granted as Lzzy chucked my a guitar pick that I caught mid-air. It was one of the best and purest rock concerts I have been to in a long long time. You have my forgiveness Halestorm and I hope you don't forget you Canadian fans next time.

Halestorm offered a good show to Paris. Their performance on stage was full of energy.

Lzzy's voice was powerful as usual and she seemed pleased to be on stage in Paris.

The concert hall was full and the athmosphere was excellent and lively. People were dancing, singing and shouting their hapiness to see this excellent band.

The only soft critic that we could do to halestorm is members remain static on stage. They played bass and guitar and sing but they do not dance together or played closely.

We do not have the impression that there is a strong connexion between members.

A few days before halestorm's concert in Paris, I also admired Xandria's perfect performance on stage in Paris.

This band gives the impression of having a very strong connexion between their members and they danced and communicated to the public a strong very good mood.

Halestorm should be inspired by this way of performing on stage.

Nevertheless, I really hope that halestorm will come back soon in Paris for a new great concert.

First off: we've had our tickets booked since april to go see Halestorm october 3rd. Need I say the misses and myself were excited to attend?

Expectations were high, but fullfilled for the most part. Yes, Lzzy had a cold. Yes, at times she struggled, especially to hit some of the high notes / screamy parts. Did it bother me? Not all that much! (in part because she was a real trooper and gave it whatever she had).

With the band playing like they did, perhaps with a bit of extra guitar works left and right to avoid entirely losing her voice(?),it was still a very enjoyable experience, makes me wonder how great it'd be with Lzzy at full capabilities.

Personal note: I prefer the older songs in the repertoire. Obviously the new album had to be represented, but maybe it stills needs to 'grow' a bit on me... All things considered, a fairly balanced setlist. The version of 'I get off' in particular stood out as 'unexpected'.

First time seeing Halestorm, In This Moment, New Years Day, and Stitched Up Heart. All sounded close or at record quality. ITM's Maria Brink did a duet with NYD's Ash Costello which was pretty cool. Would have been nice if Motionless In White was there so NYD could have done Angel Eyes and ITM could have done Black Wedding and MIW could have done Contemptress, though that would have broken the female fronted flow. Concert was definitely worth the money; doors opened at 5:30 and it concluded around 10:30. ITM and Halestorm had good light effects and interesting theatrics (ITM's interpretive dancer and balloons, Halestorm's dual drum solo and piano solo, etc.) All the performers new how to pump up a crowd. Would recommend.

TLDR Great show! You will get your money's worth and more.

Well yesterday was one of the worst concert experiences based on staff and venue. We drove 70 minutes to get here, and waited in line for 45 to get in. 10 minutes before doors open, we find out Halestorm isn't there because Lzzy was sick. Everyone panicked. The venue stayed open and Greta Van Fleet and New Years Day played. No one from the venue addressed concerns about ticket refunds. As we were leaving we found out there would be a reschedule with date TBD and original tickets still valid. The acoustics at this venue are horrible, so if you don't know the song, you can't understand the lyrics. I hope Lzzy has a speedy recovery, because after we get the reschedule, we're never getting tickets to the Main Street Armory again.

This show was rescheduled from last October, so I wasn't stoked for another 75 minute drive each way to the venue, however was super excited to see Halestorm, my favorite band, who hadn't been in my area since 2015. The Dead Deads opened last time I saw them, and I was not a fan previously, but they really grew as a band, and I really enjoyed their set this time. Halestorm played next and opened with a new song, then I had the time of my life. Pretty sure I sprained my neck headbanging to Mayhem. They played my favorite song I Am The Fire, and my friend who went with me, his favorite song Unapologetic was also played. They were so phenomenal and we left shortly after their set ended as we don't like Stone Sour.

This was the first concert my daughter had gone to, she loves the band and the energy of the songs, so thought it only apt to see Halestorm whilst they were performing in Birmingham.
The concert was excellent, everything she wanted it to be and more.
From my perspetive, the venue is great - i've seen a number of bands there. The performance was first class and the solo bits were phenomenal. The song choice was bang on, giving us a sneak into 3 songs from the upcoming album. GUess what i did when I got in, yep ordered it.
Thank you to Halestorm and their crew and the supporting artists for a great night, and please come back to Birmingham soon

It was awesome. The two acts before it did a great job of hyping me up for the main act and damn was the main act good. The bass solo and drum solo were awesome(and funny) and the light show during Halestorm was amazing.

i had a great night but because of the decor of the second act In this moment had quite a big decor and because of this AFAS was severely limited with its lighting for the first act New Years Day. Me and my friend were kind of worried the lighting was going to suck for all of the shows bu we were blown away by the main act

it was just a pity the side acts didn't get as much love as the main act
