Halestorm

Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale gives us an exclusive look at her playlist…

A Taste:

Heaven & Hell, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Alice Cooper

It’s been awhile since rock n’ roll had a leading lady.

However, Lzzy Hale has arrived. The Halestorm frontwoman has got more attitude than most of her male counterparts, but she’s easily rock’s sexiest starlet right now. With a combination of passion and presence, Lzzy’s churns out catchy, anthemic rock without any pretense or put-ons. It’s old fashioned and raw sonic ass-kicking.

Lzzy’s also got great taste in tunes. She shared her playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Check it out below!

Lzzy Hale’s Playlist:

1. Metallica — Death Magnetic

2. Heaven & Hell — The Devil You Know

I’ve listened to this like 50 times straight!

3. Sevendust

4. Alice In Chains

Metallica

Metallica’s Robert Trujillo offers us his playlist in this exclusive feature

A Taste:

Tool, Mnemic, Jimi Hendrix

Robert Trujillo’s son has very good taste in music. The Metallica bassist laughs, “My four-year-old boy loves Tool! When I take him to school, we’re playing Tool all the time, so I definitely connect with them. There’s a lot of bass in that group which is nice. They’re a great band for a bass player to listen to. So believe it or not, my son and I are going through a big Tool phase!”

It’s good to hear that Robert’s started his son off early on the good stuff. However, Robert’s personal tastes are very diverse. In this exclusive feature for ARTISTdirect.com’s Grammy page, the Metallica bass master opened up his iTunes and gave us a look at his playlist.

Check out Metallica’s Grammy nominated Death Magnetic, and see what Robert’s spinning below.
