On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with two members of one of the biggest rock bands out there today, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm! At the start of the extended and insightful conversation, they get into Lzzy's experience at the final Black Sabbath show, including her blistering performance, meeting music legends like Tom Morello, and Yungblud's viral rendition of "Changes." They also talk about the new Jeff Buckley documentary and how Buckley heavily influenced Lzzy's music career. They reflect on their storied 20-year career as Halestorm, including the band's beginnings, growing up in the grunge scene, pre-internet days, and how Lzzy's songwriting has changed. They give insight into the making of the band's newest album, 'Everest,' which was released on August 8, including what it was like recording with Dave Cobb and the story behind the hit "Like A Woman Can." They talk about their experiences with music icons like Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Katy Perry, and Rick Rubin ... and SO much more. Tune into an amazing chat with Lzzy and Joe of Halestorm!
