## Resource

Lzzy Hale spills the tea on surviving live shows—sometimes she has to dig deep for energy, but her band’s wild rituals like yelling and running in place keep the fire alive. Guitarist Joe Hottinger insists rock’s magic lies in spontaneity, not perfection, and he’s dead against relying on playback, calling it a disconnection from the music and the crowd. Drummer Arejay Hale admits he uses playback in his side projects, but for Halestorm, playing everything live—even with tech glitches—forces raw authenticity and keeps them sharp. The thrill? Total control, even when it’s messy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
