Rock Goddess of the Month (Lzzy Hale of Halestorm)

More than ever, women in rock and metal have been showing the world that girls can head bang, scream and solo just as well as the guys. They dominate the stage with power, grace and charisma, always leaving the crowd with melted faces, warm hearts or bruises from the mosh pits they create. With that being said, here is a monthly tribute to the Rock Goddess of the Month. She is the singer, rhythm guitarist and co-founder of the band Halestorm, Lzzy Hale.

If you haven’t heard of this Hard Rock band, then it’s time you gave Halestorm a listen. Lzzy Hale’s vocals are superior to say the least; her stage presence is like no other and to top it off she plays the guitar! There are so many reasons why Lzzy Hale is crowned the Rock Goddess of the Month that we could go on for days, but here are some highlights of Lzzy and Halestorm’s adventures from 2012 to the present.

Lzzy Hale of Halestorm
Halestorm released their sophomore album, The Strange Case Of… in spring of 2012 and since then have been on a rollercoaster ride of achievements, recognition and non-stop touring. Soon after the release of their album, it was announced that Halestorm was the first female-fronted band to top the Active Rock Radio Charts with their single, “Love Bites (So Do I).” Halestorm also had another single, “Here’s to Us,” featured on the hit TV series “Glee” skyrocketing their popularity to mainstream listeners. If that isn’t enough to consider her a Rock Goddess, she was later given her own custom Gibson Explorer Signature guitar which is something all guitarists inspire to receive.

Lzzy even had an onstage duet with the talented songstress Amy Lee of Evanescence. Her stage presence is like no other and her voice is always at its best. It’s easy to say Lzzy Hale may well be the hardest working female rocker right now. Did I also mention she’s gorgeous? Don’t take my word for it; Revolver Magazine named her the “Hottest Chick in Hard Rock,” another well-deserved honor. 

Just when you thought one’s music career couldn’t get any better, Halestorm announces they were nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance! They made it very clear that the nomination was completely unexpected and with such fierce competition like heavy metal gods Megadeth, Anthrax and Lamb of God, they surely didn’t expect to win. However, the rock gods smiled down on Halestorm that day as they went on to win the much deserved and well-earned Grammy, a feat that most musicians never get a chance to accomplish.  “Hale” yeah!

So what’s Lzzy and the boys of Halestorm up to now? Touring once again! Seriously, does this girl ever take a breather? On top of that they will be attending the “Golden God Awards” in May where they have been nominated in four categories: Best Vocalist, Best Drummer, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year which I’m sure they’ll go on to win at least one of these. They are also in the progress of recording there second cover album, so be on the lookout for that as well. Here’s to you Lzzy! The Rock Goddess of the month.

Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z – Impedance, DI Boxes, Preamps, and Mic Level v. Line Level

What is Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z?  What do people mean when they talk about “Mic Level”, “Line Level”, and “Impedance”? First, let’s look at Mic Level sources.  These are considered to be either at Hi-Z or Lo-Z : Hi-Z – High Impedance, High Voltage, Low Current Keywords : Guitars, Basses, Instruments; Short Cable Runs, Better Sustain, More Interference. Most of us will come to associate Hi-Z impedance equipment with things like guitars, basses, and 1/4” connector plugs.  Inside of a Hi-Z cable, there are only two conductors: a “positive” and a ground.   Since there is no negative cable (such as in a Lo-Z cable) to balance the positive cable, both capacitance and reactance suffer with increasingly longer cables.  In layman’s terms, this means your sound loses quality and gets noisier once your cable exceeds roughly 15’ – 20’.  (Ever wonder why it’s hard to find guitar cables longer than 20’?  Now you know why!) Fun Fact : Vacuum tube circuits have na...

Marshall 1960A 4x12 Guitar Cab Mic Placement / Positioning

How should you mic up your 1960A rig at your next show or recording project? The short answer: Experiment with many different mics, mic positions, and even mic preamps before settling on a "best" sound.  There is really no "right" answer since music is so subjective, and there may be multiple solutions for different situations.  Make sure you know what speaker sounds best in your cab, and make sure you know where an SM57 sounds best, too, since that's what the average sound tech is going to throw on there. The long answer: Most of us know that placing mics in various positions around a speaker cabinet will yield different sounds.  Part of this has to do with each speaker sounding a little different (even if they're the same make and model), mic height from the ground producing various colorations due to differences in reflection time, and what kind of room you are in.  In particular, though, there are three (3) main placement factors that will affect ...

Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter Review

One of my close buddies picked up a Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter today for $50.00 off of a Craigslist deal and promptly handed it over to me for inspection and testing.  To be honest, my experience with analog compressors is fairly limited; I have used EL Distressors in the past but beyond that, my knowledge is quite limited.  I know what "should" work in theory and what settings might be good for certain genres of music, but I really had no idea what to expect here. After a cursory inspection of the unit, which revealed it was manufactured in 1982, I read the manual ( available online here ) cover to cover.  I realized a few things right off the bat -- this is a VCA stereo compressor, it comes with an included noise gate, and side-chaining is completely possible.  The rest of the manual is surprisingly helpful... there's really no fluff here like with most modern manuals that are filled with useless garbage. The next step was to grab a few TRS patch cables a...
