@TheCharismaticVoice. Hey! You should check out Tornado of Souls by Megadeth. Literally probably the best song they made definitely the most universally underrated sadly. TORNADO OF SOULS, Hallowed By Thy Name, or Fade to Black are probably the greatest pure metal songs.
If you ever get the chance to see Halestorm in person, live is where Lzzy shines. She's unbelievable. Always kills it. I'm lucky to have seen Halestorm a lot before they "made it" in a bunch of small venues. Insanity.
Sometimes it's nice to say nice things to people who deserve to hear them, so after hearing you praise Lzzy Hale (and from anything I've seen of her praise is warranted, she seems like a good person) I've decided you also deserve some praise. You're just such a positive and lovely person. Its quite heart-warming to see. I'm a musician, so I enjoy your insights, but much like many of your subscribers its your positivity your infectious enjoyment that keeps me coming back. I'm a 46 year old man, but I find you an inspiration. I have zero doubts your parents are very proud of you.
I just love the way she gets so excited at certain points. If you havent seen it, watch her when she analyzes ANYTHING from Geoff Castalucci (hope I spelled it right) but especially when she does the Misty Mountains Cold (i hope thats the name of the song.)
The world just wasn't ready for that girl when she first hit the scene. So glad to see this band having a resurgence. Very well deserved. Thanks for showcasing her, Elizabeth!
@@ThatLongHairMetalGuy What you're talking about was all happening to you locally. They did hit in spots, where hard rock was still king. Nationally, they just didn't hit, though. They were doing a female-led hard rock when that was pretty much unheard of on the radio (and don't get me started about how $#!+ radio is now), but I'm glad they're getting nationwide attention again, that's all I'm saying.
I love halestorm, this song, and your analysis of it! I would LOVE to see you do a voice analysis of Maria Brink from IN THIS MOMENT!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! 🙏 she has an amazing voice and i CRAZY SCREAM! some suggestions would be "big bad wolf" "sex metal barbie" " blood" "oh lord" "black wedding" really anything of theirs! Absolutely magical!
Thank you for making me not the only one to suggest Maria Brink! I'd love to hear an analysis on her beautiful voice. Beautiful when singing, a demonic banshee howl when she's wailing. Love her!
Do In This Moment this moment! Please? Her live performance is much different than her recordings, though! 🤔 I think the Beast Within showcases all the different vocal flavors she offers!! 🌮🍳🍜🍕🍔🤯
Lizzy Hale is one of the last true rock divas left. She NEVER disappoints and ALWAYS brings 110%! I've seen her twice in concert and I will always go see her whenever she is close. Her brother brings the fire too. 11/10 would recommend 💚💚💚
Saw Halestorm (with The Pretty Reckless, The Warning, and Lilith Czar) last week in Boston. Absolutely incredible show from start to finish, and Halestorm absolutely killed it. Lzzy is a bona fide ROCK STAR - she gets up on that stage and she absolutely owns it. I've seen literally hundreds of shows and she really is in that upper echelon of the very best front-people in music.
See that show this Saturday in Charlotte. Been a big fan since seeing them at the first Carolina Rebellion back in '11 and try to catch them every time they come someplace near. Always a great show!
Lzzy is the best as a singer, performer and person. She should win the Effectful Award on this channel. I'd love to see more Halestorm on this channel. Also, Lzzy has the best teeth usage of any singer.
So as you said in the end of your video, "Raise your horns" from this album is about mental awerness too and it's named after the movement Lzzy started. Such an emotional song! Lzzy did her best on this and the song is just her voice and piano, i strongly recommend you to make a video about it Elizabeth!
Love Halestorm. Saw them on their first tour date back in May, second time seeing her and she nailed it yet again. Such a powerhouse live. Our local newspaper's editor told me he believes she's one of the better/best rock vocalists of this generation/Era.
I love her. No other way to say it. Her voice, & how she can go so soft & warm with her voice chokes me up. And, when she goes raw...goosebumps. Just...💗
Saw Lilith Czar, The Warning, The Pretty Reckless, and Halestorm in concert last weekend and MY GOD what a show. I can honestly say it was the best concert I've ever been to (and I've seen Metallica with VolBeat, Megadeth with Testament, Rush, and Nightwish with Beast in Black). I would've happily paid $65 to see any two of them. Lilith Czar and The Warning were awesome, and TPR and Halestorm could've melted faces all on their own. Rock is in seriously good hands.
@@braxtontaylor5161 I hope you can get to the show. It's really excellent. There was even a nice vocal nerd moment when I realized Lilith Czar was taking the time between every song to keep her throat moisturized.
Agreed. Just caught them in CT last week, with $20 groupon tix no less, and all the bands were great but Halestorm was BLISTERING. They can really bring it live. And I've gone to dozens of shows since the 80s...
I saw the show on the first night in Detroit. The Pretty Reckless weren't there since they had covid. I was really disappointed but the rest of the show was great.
I saw that show last two weeks ago, it was great. For me the best concert I saw was honestly green day. Billie Joe Armstrong works the crowd like Freddy Mercury
I completely agree- the mental health discussion is very important to have. And I’ve been so heartened to see it no longer swept under the rug or discounted. As well, I can say from my own personal experience that finding your strength and your way back from the depths is a massive deal.
I just viewed your video Take hold of the Flame. I am 63 and in 84 I was in San Diego for this tour. I cannot stress ENOUGH of how much today's people missed out on SOME INCREDIBLE MUSIC and BANDS. This was Queensryche's tour for The Warning. To ACTUALLY witness this band was AMAZING. Geoff Tate's vocals were way beyond belief. And the BAND --- FANTASTIC. Of course during the 80's there were SOO MANY AWESOME BANDS and music. Nobody sounded or looked the same and there was NO SUCH ANIMAL as "Auto Tune".

I play Bass as well as do Vocals. I play mainly Classic Rock and early Metal. Take Hold of the Flame is one of the FINEST songs ever.
I love Halestorm. I've been listening to them since the mid-2000s. She has one of the most powerful voices ever in Rock hard rock and heavy metal. Plus also let's not forget Halestorm is the only female fronted heavy metal hard Rock band to win a Grammy.
Lzzy is great! Also, you should check out a band she is currently touring with - *The Warning.* They are 3 sisters who are the nicest people you could ever meet (and I have). Their songs have deep lyrics and they are rooted in classic rock with grunge, punk, and other genres mixed in on some songs. Try 'Evolve', 'Disciple', 'Z', and 'Animosity' for some of their new stuff.
I'm with you, I'd love to hear Elizabeth react to The Warning. For some reason they haven't gotten much traction with the vocal coaches who do reactions, and I'd love to see that change.
I've got tickets for the closest show on his tour because I want to see The Warning, though I'm sure I'll enjoy he headliners as well. Pau's delivery on Survive in the TED-X show has huge power and puts me in mind of Nancy Sinatra on These Boots are Made for Walkin' only heavier. Anything off MAYDAY would serve to showcase Dany, though perhaps Choke would be the strongest bet. Maybe the live session recording.
Back around 2006… 2007… I had the fortunate opportunity to play with Halestorm in a small club in Bakersfield California… They were still recording their first album and came up to play a show and our band was the other band… Not only is she an incredible vocalist… But we got to hang with them a little bit and chat and she and her band are some of the nicest people you would ever meet… Absolutely no egos whatsoever… at the end of their set the vocalist of our band… also female got up and jammed out a couple of songs together… That was a fun night… They are a great band… What more can I say?
Good Lord I adore watching you geek out over Lzzy because SAME. I got to tell her in person that she empowers me and she told me it was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to her.
@@TheCharismaticVoice It was, stormy. Storms in the area meant we got to see Lilith Czar, and then 2.5 songs from the Warning before they called it. Spent an hour in a parking deck, soaking wet.... Rescheduled for September 10th and can't wait!
Loved this reaction. Adore Halestorm and was overjoyed when they came back with a kickass piece of work. Favourite track is "Raise Your Horns" - absolutely broke my heart. Lzzy is capable of putting out so much power and texture, but can also pare it back pure and vulnerable - great versatility.
Such a powerful song. After listening to the first seconds I knew this goes to my playlist! I will take this as a reminder, that the darkness I have fallen into can be passed through some day. Until then the TCV beacon from Tucson helps me in determining my position and not to lose direction. Thank you for that many hours of entertaining, informative, supportive and sometimes even relieving vocal analysis vids that spread tons of positive energy, Elizabeth! 🌈❤🙏
Halestorm is one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. I just wanted to thank you for breaking the song down in such a way- that those of us not familiar with music technicality can understand just how amazing it is. Also- thank you Elizabeth for your positivity. When I get depressed sometimes I watch your videos and your positivity and passion for what you do is amazing and help. Keep up the awesome work!
Long time Halestorm fan... saw them several times before getting signed. Last saw them July 2022, and luved that mid show Lzzy thanked her High School vocal coach for his teaching/insight. Great talent and so humble
Halestorm also does an acoustic version of this same song with a completely different feel to it, slower and very delta bluesy, absolutely worth a listen
Lzzy is amazing, I've gotten to meet her a couple times at her shows, such a sweet person. And an incredible performer, her vocals are insane live. Seen them a half dozen times now and have tickets to see them again in a couple weeks 😀. Excited to see some of the new songs live cause the album is great. Really hope they play raise your horns cause holy crap her vocals on that are next level and live would be awesome
My favourite song of the album is "Terrible things". The lyrics hit so close I cried the first time I listened to it. This impression that some part of you would always be bad, despite all the good you try to do everyday or that you're out of tune with the world around you.
Saw Halestorm last December in Minneapolis with Evanescence and Lilith Czar and it was so much what I needed after years of Covid crap limiting normal events. Lizzy is amazing, and frankly all of Halestorm, I have never seen a band that so clearly LOVES what they do, loves being on stage, loves interacting with the crowd as much as Halestorm. Seriously see them live! They will rock your socks off!
I love watching react videos but I always come back to Elizabeth because not does she break everything down well, I just get so much joy watching her feel how we feel.
I've seen them play live twice and was blown away both times. I saw her takin pics with fans one time didn't have anything for her to sign so she signed outside of my upper arm. Awesome awesome singer and person through and through just like u said!!
Ah, the end of the day and my song from the new album! Drove home to this- anticipating exactly what I see here: Elizabeth's excitement to hearing this rocker! After a blazing hot day, I melt to sounds of Lzzy and the visual of Elizabeth's appreciation for her. Marvelous. Happy Tuesday all!
Arguably one of their best albums to date, I would have pesonally used: Raise your horns (final song of album) to dissect but, great commentary none of the less as always.
I remember listening to it when it came out and having mixed emotions. Album gets 1000x better the more you listen to it. Definitely one of their better releases.
So happy you reviewed this song! I love Lzzy, her personality, her voice, her message ♥ Saw your interview with Lzzy and it was so lovely ♥ I also love your videos, your reactions are always so helpful and make me understand more why I like the music I like ♥
Please don't take it wrong but i love how you are looking at the monitor like a kitten about to pounce. Even with the wiggle here and there. It communicates interest, attention and excitement. Love it.
Just saw them Monday with Lilith Czar, The Warning, and The Pretty Reckless. Halestorm headlining. It was the first time in 3 times seeing them that they got to headline the show. Great concert, and about time seeing Halestorm as headliner. The Warning btw were impressive for being how young they are and just 3 of them to make all that noise!
Good morning to Elizabeth and everyone else! Halestorm been awhile! Can’t wait for your analysis Elizabeth! I love this song and the album’s great too!! Lizzie Hales voice is just sheer energy and emotional she gets what rock (hard rock - heavy metal) is really about!! 🎤🎧🎸👍🎼 Cheers, Mike 😎
Love your analysis of vocalists. I have always loved music and your approach of analyzing singers /artists has added another dimension to my appreciation, so thank you for that. It is also really nice to hear someone who obviously has a great understanding of music and singing who has also developed an appreciation of Metal - it has been enjoyable to watch you discover Iron Maiden, Dio, Nightwish, Judas Priest, Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, Disturbed, and many more. I have so many groups/singers I would love to hear your analysis - every time I do, I learn something new :) Liv Kristine from Leaves Eyes (Elegy or Farewell Proud Men), Purified from Semblant with Mizuho Lin and Sergio Mazul, Dorothy with Dorothy Martin (Wicked Ones, Raise Hell, or Rest in Peace), In this Moment with Maria Brink (Whore or Sick Like Me). I have may more, but it is a start. Again, Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's a gift to have discovered them and I would love to react to those wonderful artists. Please choose a song by them and place them in the comments on our next videos. Thanks again, Jack! 🤘
As someone with asthma, can definitely confirm that the audible breaths give you less air than the normal breaths - one of the first signs of asthma acting up is always the characteristic wheeze of air being forced through a constricted airway. The more that sound starts to dominate, the more dire need of your inhaler you are.
Your analysis was very effectful... err... Effective!!! 3 times Ugh! Thank you for introducing me to another AWESOME artist I hadn't heard before... WOW!!! This is a killer song too!
Amazing episode!! There is so much that is special and real with Lizzy. Just saw Halestorm in Boston and it was amazing . So many new songs. Just amazing watching it live. Your analysis is always special
Lzzy's vocals deserve every bit of the praise you've bestowed upon her for this performance, but let's not overlook the music which supports the fantastic delivery. AreJay's drumming is FANTASTIC in this tune, as he maintains a lethal driving beat interspersed with creative flourishes which often embellish upon previously established flourishes; and the guitar/bass rhythms sit nicely on top of that backbeat, adding embellishments of their own off of the primary cadences of the progression! The filter on Lzzy's voice often is called "telephone line", as it provides almost a single-speaker transistor radio, or a static-y signal associated with original telephone lines from over a century ago. It's (over)used fairly often in contemporary music, but really doesn't sound as though she's "under water". Your assigning of such a term likely is due to the power-of-suggestion, because she appears with her head/face under water during that segment. No such word as "heighth" (a mistake perpetuated by the uneducated), Ms. Elizabeth. It's just "height".
Holy guacamole! Just passed the Halestorm tour buses tonite in Syracuse NY! Then this was in my feed! Not familiar with the band…but her voice is amazing!
This album helped me heal!! I saved my life, but man she gave me a killer soundtrack. Thank you HALESTORM!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 When you survive the dark you come back SCREAMING! 🤘🏻🫶🏻🤘🏻
Even for songs or bands I wouldn't normally seek on my own, I love hearing these discussions to broaden my knowledge and hearing more great songs and music. Thank you! I'd like to recommend Dance of the Manatee by Fair to Midland. Their songs have really interesting lyrics, and can be easily misheard in amusing ways, and the singer has a high range. All kinds of theories and interpretations on the lyrical meaning.
If you haven't already, you should definitely check out 'Here's To Us', which is one of my all-time favorite Halestorm song, with great, deep, melancholy lyrics and tone!
Amazing reaction Elizabeth, Lizzy is super underated her vocals are always on point amazing tone and control. Thankyou your passion for music and your in depth analysis is unmatched Would love see your analysis on Handshake with hell from Arch enemy
Just listen to the new album, and I was like wow, Lzzy has such a amazing voice. And I was like I wanna suggest that to the charismatic voice, beat me to the punch. I love the content on the channel, the I can thoroughly enjoy Lzzy’s voice when she tours to Denmark 🇩🇰 later in the fall, and along with the best rockband ever Alter bridge. I loved the way you also had a tea talk with Myles. Keep it the great content coming love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Halestorm has found their footing for sure, I seem them in two weeks and can't wait ! So many good songs and vocals. Wicked Ways and Psycho Crazy are great. Terrible Things is amazing ! White Dress and Vicious and Do Not Disturb off of Vicious are amazing as well. So much talent !
My favorite band. I would highly suggest checking out their songs Familiar Taste of Poison, Mz. Hyde, and I Am the Fire. Familiar Taste of Poison is a ballad on the first album with a fantastic music video. Mz. Hyde is my favorite song, Lzzy takes the song between bright and dark sounds from verses to chorus, it's a wonderful, double-sided song that plays on the theme. I Am the Fire comes from the third album where each song was more or less recorded a single take (meaning all parts at once, not recorded separately) each to give a more Live sound with high quality. This one really highlights her voice and immense range with ton of power behind her.
Bomb!! So badass, and message of hope. EZ always on it, and, yes, the production was full of effects- so effect-ful. Would love to hear these two powerful women work together. Like, if EZ does the high 5th coming out of bridge on "Im baaack", woww! Hell hath no fury. 😁
Your joy in your reactions is really contagious, and I learn so much by hearing your commentary! Thank you for your fantastic channel. I appreciate what I'm hearing so much more. And, Halestorm/Lzzy, such power! I'm new to them and can't stop listening. Awesome. Halestorm has The Warning open for them - The Warning has me helplessly infatuated with their sound. Please, please, please do *The Warning* sometime soon - their song Evolve is a great place to start, and Disciple, Error, Money, would be good choices. Given the youth of these sisters ( 23, 21, 17) they are only going to get so much better.
Mental health is no joke. I’ve lost 2 friends and 3 family members due to it. It’s nice to see more people creating awareness and not treating suffers as a pariah.
There probably won't be a lot of people requesting this because the band is only now gaining some popularity, but I'd love for you to do an analysis of Adrienne Cowan from SEVEN SPIRES. She is jaw-dropping, in my opinion. I'd recommend "The Paradox" or "The Cabaret of Dreams", even though the band has so much to show that it's hard to pick one song. They truly deserve recognition. Love your channel ♥ It's almost a relief seeing my favourite singers getting praise for their talent and skills, since it frequently goes unnoticed because of the genre. I also learn a lot about music and it's a joy watching your amazement as you discover new things, too!
I think you would enjoy group "Lordi", and their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". The music video is amazing as well, I think it won an award or something back in the day.
A wonderful appraisal of an incredible track - thanks!I'm a big Alice Cooper fan and only got into Halestorm during lockdown after watching an interview she did with Alice. I was lucky to see them 3 times on their UK tourt in March and they blew me away every night. I'd love to hear your analysis of the closing track from the album 'Raise Your Horns' which is just a Lzzy + piano ballad - such a contrast to the opening track but so powerful and emotional.
Thank you for mentioning the suicide prevention hotlines. I suffer from quite severe depression, I feel suicidal almost all the time so I know how important such kind of support is - even though I don't like in the US.
I always get serious Black Stone Cherry vibes when I hear Halestorm, yet another band I'd love to see a deep dive into. Not many people talk about them, but they are fantastic! Song recommendations would be 'Lonely Train', 'Hell and High Water', & 'Rain Wizard', the singles from their first album. Kind of ironic, really, given what's going on in Kentucky and that's where they are from.
For the next rock track, AC/DC's live version of Let There Be Rock from Apollo Theatre in 1978 is something I can't recommend enough. The sound quality for a recording that is close to 45 years old is mind boggling. One of the best live performances by AC/DC, and dare I say any rock band. And Bon Scott is well worth a listen, truly a lost gem.
Definitely love to hear some AC/DC reviewed, especially Bon Scott, I’ve heard lots of reviews of Brian Johnson but never Bon Scott, he was the best there ever was or will be
That intro gives such a punch when I'm listening to this album in during work it gives me a nice jolt awake when the album flips over. Especially after the last song, Raise Your Horns (which you should totally do on the channel because its a fantastic song)
After seeing Halestorm at least a dozen times, they're for sure my favorite band live... Lzzy is just unbeatable with energy and raw talent (although Arejay gives her a run for her money). Side note, as a father now "Dear Daughter" still makes me eyes leak profusely for some reason...
You are my new favorite page to listen to. I love showing people songs they’ve never heard and seeing your excitement brings me joy that’s needed during these crazy times. I’d love it if you ever got to listen to my favorite band Incubus, specifically their song Dig. Brandon Boyd’s voice was always one of my favorites and I’d love your take on it.
Check out The Warning! Lzzy seems to really believe that they could be the next big female led rock group, and after seeing them live, I can see why. I recommend their song Choke. As a new band, I think having you react to one of their songs would be great for them.
I always learn so much from your analyses and love your passion! Halestorm's new album is phenomenal, but the best song by far is "Raise Your Horns", which is very intense, emotional, and inspirational, so I wish you could evaluate that one. Also, I'm astonished that you haven't analyzed any songs by The Warning yet. The Warning are on tour with Halestorm right now, and are incredibly talented. "ERROR" is an impressive song that demonstrates so much range, power, and complexity, so it would be awesome if you assessed that one. Other excellent songs by this band are "Z", "EVOLVE", and "DISCIPLE".
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
A Suggestion : Isaac Hayes & Soul II Soul "Papa was a Rollin' Stone"
Have you heard of Chelsea Wolfe? 😁
Please have Dolores from The Cranberries singing Zombie
If you like this song check out I like it heavy plus the after track. Lzzy Hale really shows her vocal range in that.

@@michael6202 OMG I'm so jealous! I've never had the pleasure of seeing Amy Lee in concert before. Should be one helluva show! 💚💚💚
This feels like a combination of blues and metal that I absolutely love, so thank you for introducing me to her and the band.
Saw Halestorm (with The Pretty Reckless, The Warning, and Lilith Czar) last week in Boston. Absolutely incredible show from start to finish, and Halestorm absolutely killed it. Lzzy is a bona fide ROCK STAR - she gets up on that stage and she absolutely owns it. I've seen literally hundreds of shows and she really is in that upper echelon of the very best front-people in music.

See that show this Saturday in Charlotte. Been a big fan since seeing them at the first Carolina Rebellion back in '11 and try to catch them every time they come someplace near. Always a great show!
I'm super jealous.
It is a crime that lineup isn’t going to California
I wanted to see that show so bad!!!!
This song dropped just when I was recovering from one of the many depression crisis i had and I can't lie... It helped me 100%
I feel very engaged with her outlook on life, since when i was younger i feel that i was taught to just look for quick fixes to emotional issues.
I wonder if you would have any interest in analyzing the song Pretend We're Dead by L7
Lzzy is the best as a singer, performer and person. She should win the Effectful Award on this channel. I'd love to see more Halestorm on this channel. Also, Lzzy has the best teeth usage of any singer.
So as you said in the end of your video, "Raise your horns" from this album is about mental awerness too and it's named after the movement Lzzy started. Such an emotional song!

I love her. No other way to say it. Her voice, & how she can go so soft & warm with her voice chokes me up. And, when she goes raw...goosebumps. Just...💗
Love to see a reaction of their song "familiar taste of poison" from Jimmy Fallon show 2010. That was the first time I heard that song.
Saw Lilith Czar, The Warning, The Pretty Reckless, and Halestorm in concert last weekend and MY GOD what a show. I can honestly say it was the best concert I've ever been to (and I've seen Metallica with VolBeat, Megadeth with Testament, Rush, and Nightwish with Beast in Black). I would've happily paid $65 to see any two of them. Lilith Czar and The Warning were awesome, and TPR and Halestorm could've melted faces all on their own.
Rock is in seriously good hands.
I'm trying to go to that tours stop near me, it looks so good
@@braxtontaylor5161 I hope you can get to the show. It's really excellent. There was even a nice vocal nerd moment when I realized Lilith Czar was taking the time between every song to keep her throat moisturized.

I love these videos and I love how Lzzy started an entire metal movement for mental health awareness
I completely agree- the mental health discussion is very important to have. And I’ve been so heartened to see it no longer swept under the rug or discounted. As well, I can say from my own personal experience that finding your strength and your way back from the depths is a massive deal.
I just viewed your video Take hold of the Flame.
I am 63 and in 84 I was in San Diego for this tour.
I cannot stress ENOUGH of how much today's people
missed out on SOME INCREDIBLE MUSIC and BANDS.
This was Queensryche's tour for The Warning.
To ACTUALLY witness this band was AMAZING.
Geoff Tate's vocals were way beyond belief.
And the BAND --- FANTASTIC.
Of course during the 80's there were SOO MANY
AWESOME BANDS and music.
Nobody sounded or looked the same and there was
NO SUCH ANIMAL as "Auto Tune".
OR lipsynching and backtracks with a "Posse" of
distracting Dancers.
People SANG and actually PLAYED THEIR INSTRUMENTS.
And they did it well.
I by the way, AM a MUSICIAN.
I play Bass as well as do Vocals.
I play mainly Classic Rock and early Metal.
Take Hold of the Flame is one of the FINEST songs ever.
I love Halestorm.
I've been listening to them since the mid-2000s.
She has one of the most powerful voices ever in Rock hard rock and heavy metal.
Plus also let's not forget Halestorm is the only female fronted heavy metal hard Rock band to win a Grammy.
Lzzy is great! Also, you should check out a band she is currently touring with - *The Warning.* They are 3 sisters who are the nicest people you could ever meet (and I have). Their songs have deep lyrics and they are rooted in classic rock with grunge, punk, and other genres mixed in on some songs. Try 'Evolve', 'Disciple', 'Z', and 'Animosity' for some of their new stuff.
not to mention Dany AND Pau both have amazing lead vocals
I'm with you, I'd love to hear Elizabeth react to The Warning. For some reason they haven't gotten much traction with the vocal coaches who do reactions, and I'd love to see that change.
I've got tickets for the closest show on his tour because I want to see The Warning, though I'm sure I'll enjoy he headliners as well.
Pau's delivery on Survive in the TED-X show has huge power and puts me in mind of Nancy Sinatra on These Boots are Made for Walkin' only heavier. Anything off MAYDAY would serve to showcase Dany, though perhaps Choke would be the strongest bet. Maybe the live session recording.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've only heard a few songs so far, but damn they are good.
Saw The Warning here in St. Johns Newfoundland this summer. Blown away. Fantastic.
Back around 2006… 2007… I had the fortunate opportunity to play with Halestorm in a small club in Bakersfield California… They were still recording their first album and came up to play a show and our band was the other band… Not only is she an incredible vocalist… But we got to hang with them a little bit and chat and she and her band are some of the nicest people you would ever meet… Absolutely no egos whatsoever… at the end of their set the vocalist of our band… also female got up and jammed out a couple of songs together… That was a fun night… They are a great band… What more can I say?
Good Lord I adore watching you geek out over Lzzy because SAME. I got to tell her in person that she empowers me and she told me it was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to her.
Seeing them live Saturday with the Pretty Reckless, Lilith Czar and The Warning. Closest to heaven I'll ever see.
Lucky bastard! Enjoy the show
How did it go? I bet it was heaven. 😉❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice It was, stormy. Storms in the area meant we got to see Lilith Czar, and then 2.5 songs from the Warning before they called it. Spent an hour in a parking deck, soaking wet.... Rescheduled for September 10th and can't wait!
Loved this reaction. Adore Halestorm and was overjoyed when they came back with a kickass piece of work. Favourite track is "Raise Your Horns" - absolutely broke my heart. Lzzy is capable of putting out so much power and texture, but can also pare it back pure and vulnerable - great versatility.
Such a powerful song. After listening to the first seconds I knew this goes to my playlist! I will take this as a reminder, that the darkness I have fallen into can be passed through some day. Until then the TCV beacon from Tucson helps me in determining my position and not to lose direction. Thank you for that many hours of entertaining, informative, supportive and sometimes even relieving vocal analysis vids that spread tons of positive energy, Elizabeth! 🌈❤🙏
Heard that opening line and immediately went and added this to the workout playlist. Love me some good'ol Hard Rock! \m/
Halestorm is one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. I just wanted to thank you for breaking the song down in such a way- that those of us not familiar with music technicality can understand just how amazing it is.
Also- thank you Elizabeth for your positivity. When I get depressed sometimes I watch your videos and your positivity and passion for what you do is amazing and help. Keep up the awesome work!
Long time Halestorm fan... saw them several times before getting signed. Last saw them July 2022, and luved that mid show Lzzy thanked her High School vocal coach for his teaching/insight. Great talent and so humble
Lzzy seems to be a nice person and their new album is 10/10 my favourite track is Psycho Crazy.
I disagree... It's 20/10 😀
Psycho Crazy has no business going as hard as it does. It's a masterpiece.
@@MariaRockAngel Hahahhaa that's true
Halestorm also does an acoustic version of this same song with a completely different feel to it, slower and very delta bluesy, absolutely worth a listen
I didn't know this. Searching now. You rock
Lizzy is one of the most amazing female voices out there and one hell of good guitar player as well. The band compliments each other. Love it!
One of the best reactions to one of my very favorite bands. Thank you!
YEEEEESSSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS
YES!
Seeing Halestorm Live is the most amazing experience of my live
Lzzy is amazing, I've gotten to meet her a couple times at her shows, such a sweet person. And an incredible performer, her vocals are insane live. Seen them a half dozen times now and have tickets to see them again in a couple weeks 😀. Excited to see some of the new songs live cause the album is great. Really hope they play raise your horns cause holy crap her vocals on that are next level and live would be awesome
I would really love to see your reaction to Dear Daughter by Halestorm. I feel like you would absolutely love it and the message attached to it.
I was in the middle of house chores when I saw this notification and put down everything to watch this! You get giddy over Lzzy like I do! Love it!
Seen Halestorm twice. Always, an awesome performance by Lizzy. Love it that Arejay keeps his kit simple but bangs the crap out of it. Too fun.
My favourite song of the album is "Terrible things". The lyrics hit so close I cried the first time I listened to it. This impression that some part of you would always be bad, despite all the good you try to do everyday or that you're out of tune with the world around you.
Saw Halestorm last December in Minneapolis with Evanescence and Lilith Czar and it was so much what I needed after years of Covid crap limiting normal events. Lizzy is amazing, and frankly all of Halestorm, I have never seen a band that so clearly LOVES what they do, loves being on stage, loves interacting with the crowd as much as Halestorm. Seriously see them live! They will rock your socks off!
I love watching react videos but I always come back to Elizabeth because not does she break everything down well, I just get so much joy watching her feel how we feel.
I've seen them play live twice and was blown away both times. I saw her takin pics with fans one time didn't have anything for her to sign so she signed outside of my upper arm. Awesome awesome singer and person through and through just like u said!!
Ah, the end of the day and my song from the new album! Drove home to this- anticipating exactly what I see here: Elizabeth's excitement to hearing this rocker! After a blazing hot day, I melt to sounds of Lzzy and the visual of Elizabeth's appreciation for her. Marvelous. Happy Tuesday all!
Arguably one of their best albums to date, I would have pesonally used: Raise your horns (final song of album) to dissect but, great commentary none of the less as always.
I remember listening to it when it came out and having mixed emotions. Album gets 1000x better the more you listen to it. Definitely one of their better releases.

So happy you reviewed this song! I love Lzzy, her personality, her voice, her message ♥ Saw your interview with Lzzy and it was so lovely ♥ I also love your videos, your reactions are always so helpful and make me understand more why I like the music I like ♥
Please don't take it wrong but i love how you are looking at the monitor like a kitten about to pounce. Even with the wiggle here and there.
It communicates interest, attention and excitement. Love it.
Just saw them Monday with Lilith Czar, The Warning, and The Pretty Reckless. Halestorm headlining. It was the first time in 3 times seeing them that they got to headline the show. Great concert, and about time seeing Halestorm as headliner. The Warning btw were impressive for being how young they are and just 3 of them to make all that noise!
Good morning to Elizabeth and everyone else! Halestorm been awhile! Can’t wait for your analysis Elizabeth! I love this song and the album’s great too!! Lizzie Hales voice is just sheer energy and emotional she gets what rock (hard rock - heavy metal) is really about!! 🎤🎧🎸👍🎼
Cheers,
Mike 😎
Saw them live at Welcome to Rockville in May. She is awesome!! The band is awesome as well.
The way she's creating tension by holding those notes flat before sliding into the resolution. I love it.😃
Love your analysis of vocalists. I have always loved music and your approach of analyzing singers /artists has added another dimension to my appreciation, so thank you for that. It is also really nice to hear someone who obviously has a great understanding of music and singing who has also developed an appreciation of Metal - it has been enjoyable to watch you discover Iron Maiden, Dio, Nightwish, Judas Priest, Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, Disturbed, and many more. I have so many groups/singers I would love to hear your analysis - every time I do, I learn something new :) Liv Kristine from Leaves Eyes (Elegy or Farewell Proud Men), Purified from Semblant with Mizuho Lin and Sergio Mazul, Dorothy with Dorothy Martin (Wicked Ones, Raise Hell, or Rest in Peace), In this Moment with Maria Brink (Whore or Sick Like Me). I have may more, but it is a start. Again, Thank you.
Dorothy! 100% Found Dorothy because of Lzzy!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's a gift to have discovered them and I would love to react to those wonderful artists. Please choose a song by them and place them in the comments on our next videos. Thanks again, Jack! 🤘
As someone with asthma, can definitely confirm that the audible breaths give you less air than the normal breaths - one of the first signs of asthma acting up is always the characteristic wheeze of air being forced through a constricted airway. The more that sound starts to dominate, the more dire need of your inhaler you are.
Yep!
Their new album is fantastic! This song in particular means so much to me. Thank you for your analysis and reaction!
Yes! I never get tired of listening to Lzzy!
Your analysis was very effectful... err... Effective!!! 3 times Ugh! Thank you for introducing me to another AWESOME artist I hadn't heard before... WOW!!! This is a killer song too!
Amazing episode!!
There is so much that is special and real with Lizzy. Just saw Halestorm in Boston and it was amazing . So many new songs. Just amazing watching it live. Your analysis is always special
Lzzy's vocals deserve every bit of the praise you've bestowed upon her for this performance, but let's not overlook the music which supports the fantastic delivery. AreJay's drumming is FANTASTIC in this tune, as he maintains a lethal driving beat interspersed with creative flourishes which often embellish upon previously established flourishes; and the guitar/bass rhythms sit nicely on top of that backbeat, adding embellishments of their own off of the primary cadences of the progression!
The filter on Lzzy's voice often is called "telephone line", as it provides almost a single-speaker transistor radio, or a static-y signal associated with original telephone lines from over a century ago. It's (over)used fairly often in contemporary music, but really doesn't sound as though she's "under water". Your assigning of such a term likely is due to the power-of-suggestion, because she appears with her head/face under water during that segment.
No such word as "heighth" (a mistake perpetuated by the uneducated), Ms. Elizabeth. It's just "height".
I love this band so damn much!
Holy guacamole! Just passed the Halestorm tour buses tonite in Syracuse NY! Then this was in my feed! Not familiar with the band…but her voice is amazing!
I love your videos. I’ve found so many great artists because of you. Halestorm reminds of sound garden. Can’t wait to listen to more.
Woo, I'm so excited.
This album helped me heal!! I saved my life, but man she gave me a killer soundtrack. Thank you HALESTORM!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
When you survive the dark you come back SCREAMING! 🤘🏻🫶🏻🤘🏻
Love Lzzy's vocals! Just saw them, again, in December and again, WOW! Love how you break down her technic and skill!
Even for songs or bands I wouldn't normally seek on my own, I love hearing these discussions to broaden my knowledge and hearing more great songs and music. Thank you!
I'd like to recommend Dance of the Manatee by Fair to Midland. Their songs have really interesting lyrics, and can be easily misheard in amusing ways, and the singer has a high range. All kinds of theories and interpretations on the lyrical meaning.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for so long for you to do this analysis!! \m/
I'm glad you reacted to this, never would've known she was a great vocalist
Halestorm raise your horns!! I just saw them live with the pretty reckless!! They were both amazing!!
Hello Elizabeth! I know little English, but I watch your videos because I sincerely enjoy your beauty. Thank you very much)
If you haven't already, you should definitely check out 'Here's To Us', which is one of my all-time favorite Halestorm song, with great, deep, melancholy lyrics and tone!
Halestorm is my favorite band of all time, i have two halestorm tattoos and i'v been listening to them since the first CD
Lzzy ist so unglaublich gut, ich höre sie aus tausend Stimmen raus so einzigartig ist sie.
Oh hale yeah, i cant wait for this one.
Amazing reaction Elizabeth, Lizzy is super underated her vocals are always on point amazing tone and control. Thankyou your passion for music and your in depth analysis is unmatched
Would love see your analysis on Handshake with hell from Arch enemy
Just listen to the new album, and I was like wow, Lzzy has such a amazing voice. And I was like I wanna suggest that to the charismatic voice, beat me to the punch. I love the content on the channel, the I can thoroughly enjoy Lzzy’s voice when she tours to Denmark 🇩🇰 later in the fall, and along with the best rockband ever Alter bridge. I loved the way you also had a tea talk with Myles. Keep it the great content coming love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Halestorm has found their footing for sure, I seem them in two weeks and can't wait ! So many good songs and vocals. Wicked Ways and Psycho Crazy are great. Terrible Things is amazing ! White Dress and Vicious and Do Not Disturb off of Vicious are amazing as well. So much talent !
My favorite band. I would highly suggest checking out their songs Familiar Taste of Poison, Mz. Hyde, and I Am the Fire. Familiar Taste of Poison is a ballad on the first album with a fantastic music video. Mz. Hyde is my favorite song, Lzzy takes the song between bright and dark sounds from verses to chorus, it's a wonderful, double-sided song that plays on the theme. I Am the Fire comes from the third album where each song was more or less recorded a single take (meaning all parts at once, not recorded separately) each to give a more Live sound with high quality. This one really highlights her voice and immense range with ton of power behind her.
Bomb!! So badass, and message of hope. EZ always on it, and, yes, the production was full of effects- so effect-ful. Would love to hear these two powerful women work together. Like, if EZ does the high 5th coming out of bridge on "Im baaack", woww! Hell hath no fury. 😁
Your joy in your reactions is really contagious, and I learn so much by hearing your commentary! Thank you for your fantastic channel. I appreciate what I'm hearing so much more. And, Halestorm/Lzzy, such power! I'm new to them and can't stop listening. Awesome. Halestorm has The Warning open for them - The Warning has me helplessly infatuated with their sound. Please, please, please do *The Warning* sometime soon - their song Evolve is a great place to start, and Disciple, Error, Money, would be good choices. Given the youth of these sisters ( 23, 21, 17) they are only going to get so much better.
Mental health is no joke. I’ve lost 2 friends and 3 family members due to it. It’s nice to see more people creating awareness and not treating suffers as a pariah.
God I love Lizzy so much, such an empowering person. Adore her musicianship. Almost as much as this channel!!!
There probably won't be a lot of people requesting this because the band is only now gaining some popularity, but I'd love for you to do an analysis of Adrienne Cowan from SEVEN SPIRES. She is jaw-dropping, in my opinion. I'd recommend "The Paradox" or "The Cabaret of Dreams", even though the band has so much to show that it's hard to pick one song. They truly deserve recognition.
Love your channel ♥ It's almost a relief seeing my favourite singers getting praise for their talent and skills, since it frequently goes unnoticed because of the genre. I also learn a lot about music and it's a joy watching your amazement as you discover new things, too!
I think you would enjoy group "Lordi", and their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah". The music video is amazing as well, I think it won an award or something back in the day.
That's my girl...Lzzy is the shit!
Reigning Queen Of Rock!
Still on FIRE!
A wonderful appraisal of an incredible track - thanks!I'm a big Alice Cooper fan and only got into Halestorm during lockdown after watching an interview she did with Alice. I was lucky to see them 3 times on their UK tourt in March and they blew me away every night. I'd love to hear your analysis of the closing track from the album 'Raise Your Horns' which is just a Lzzy + piano ballad - such a contrast to the opening track but so powerful and emotional.
Thank you for mentioning the suicide prevention hotlines. I suffer from quite severe depression, I feel suicidal almost all the time so I know how important such kind of support is - even though I don't like in the US.
I to appreciate it, but I was quite taken aback by how *sudden* and out of the blue it was. It was just right there, out of left field. Lol.
I always get serious Black Stone Cherry vibes when I hear Halestorm, yet another band I'd love to see a deep dive into. Not many people talk about them, but they are fantastic! Song recommendations would be 'Lonely Train', 'Hell and High Water', & 'Rain Wizard', the singles from their first album. Kind of ironic, really, given what's going on in Kentucky and that's where they are from.
I second Black Stone Cherry. Just a fun solid rock band. Soulcreek is my jam
All I can say is amazing.
Indeed! ❤
Pretty good song yes 👍
For the next rock track, AC/DC's live version of Let There Be Rock from Apollo Theatre in 1978 is something I can't recommend enough. The sound quality for a recording that is close to 45 years old is mind boggling. One of the best live performances by AC/DC, and dare I say any rock band. And Bon Scott is well worth a listen, truly a lost gem.
Definitely love to hear some AC/DC reviewed, especially Bon Scott, I’ve heard lots of reviews of Brian Johnson but never Bon Scott, he was the best there ever was or will be
I told her the same about Bon Scott 74 jailbreak
You mean close to 45 years?
@@braca977 Yeah 45, typo
Gone shootin’ on Powerage is my favourite Bon Scott song
That intro gives such a punch when I'm listening to this album in during work it gives me a nice jolt awake when the album flips over. Especially after the last song, Raise Your Horns (which you should totally do on the channel because its a fantastic song)
After seeing Halestorm at least a dozen times, they're for sure my favorite band live... Lzzy is just unbeatable with energy and raw talent (although Arejay gives her a run for her money). Side note, as a father now "Dear Daughter" still makes me eyes leak profusely for some reason...
You are my new favorite page to listen to. I love showing people songs they’ve never heard and seeing your excitement brings me joy that’s needed during these crazy times.
I’d love it if you ever got to listen to my favorite band Incubus, specifically their song Dig. Brandon Boyd’s voice was always one of my favorites and I’d love your take on it.
Check out The Warning! Lzzy seems to really believe that they could be the next big female led rock group, and after seeing them live, I can see why. I recommend their song Choke. As a new band, I think having you react to one of their songs would be great for them.
you really should react to nirvanas drain you live ! it's a rare sight to see kurt without a guitar, very good video
I always learn so much from your analyses and love your passion! Halestorm's new album is phenomenal, but the best song by far is "Raise Your Horns", which is very intense, emotional, and inspirational, so I wish you could evaluate that one.
Also, I'm astonished that you haven't analyzed any songs by The Warning yet. The Warning are on tour with Halestorm right now, and are incredibly talented. "ERROR" is an impressive song that demonstrates so much range, power, and complexity, so it would be awesome if you assessed that one. Other excellent songs by this band are "Z", "EVOLVE", and "DISCIPLE".
