About Me: 
Well, you can call me Ana and I have been rocking out since I was born. Whenever I cried, my Dad had to just slip on Poundcake by Van Halen and I quieted up to enjoy the drill-on-guitar sound. I'm an 18 year-old poet and percussionist; my sister is much more musically talented, and we always joked we would make a band together. After hearing Halestorm and their inspirational story, I hope that one day it won't just be a joke. If you want to talk about music, lyrics, poetry, or any grab-bag of items, just leave a comment.
Favorite Bands: 
Van Halen since I was a baby. Three Doors Down and Nickelback helped me survive middle school. Three Days Grace and Trapt have flitted about in middle and high school. Evanessence showed me I wasn't the only girl in my generation that loved to rock. Sixx:A.M., Shinedown, and Halestorm are at the top right now.
Country: 
Hometown: 
Washington D.C.
Favorite Places: 
National Harbor the National in Richmond
How did you first hear about Halestorm?: 
I was looking up tickets for a Trapt show in 2008 after being horrified at CrueFest. For those that went to the New Jersey concert and did so when there was still sunlight, you might have saw the blatant disrespect for a good band. Or maybe you were on dope like the rest of the people I saw carrying on during their set. I found that they were touring with Inept, RED, and Halestorm. I hadn't listened to much of either of these bands, so I tried to find some clips from them. Halestorm was the one I liked the most. Unfortuantely, after finding the Trapt concert sold out in my area, I forgot to check my local CD stores for Halestorm. A couple months later, I heard "I Get Off" on the radio and remembered that 30 second clip. I've been an avid Halestorm fan since.
Favorite Halestorm moment/show?: 
August 29, 2009 at "the National": First time seeing Halestorm live. It was great to not only be blown away, but expect to be blown away.

I've been sitting here this whole time thinking when the hell did they play at National Harbor? Then I actually used my brain for a change... it was the one the week after my birthday that was supposed to be like way down in Southern Maryland. I was trying to get someone to go to that but just didn't work out haha. Wow I honestly never knew that show got changed.

I like the guitar in Innocence, that's kinda what sells it to me. It's even better live. I wasn't expecting them to do it last time then I saw the set list before I shot and was like 3weoi43klhtroihkf THEY'RE DOING IT!!!! I just wish I would've paid more attention the music then taking pictures haha. I really should've just given my smaller camera to one of my friends who was on the rail to record it. bleh oh well. Not like I won't have plenty of opportunities in the future xD

Yea I haven't really seen any advertising for it yet... matter of fact, I still haven't even gotten my tickets yet. I got them as a present for me and one of my friends for her birthday... I wasn't going to tell her until I got them.. kept waiting and waiting, trying to make excuses as to why I still hadn't gotten her present.... then like 2 days after I gave up and told her I read the confirmation email and it said "You will receive an email when tickets are shipped". That's how great my attention span is! haha.

Far Away was a weird one... I didn't really like it when I first heard it, but as of last week (before I lost all my music on my computer... stupid viruses) if found itself as the 2nd most played song on my iTunes.

So anyways..... what's your favorite Halestorm song(s)? My favorite favorite favorite song is Innocence, closely followed by Dirty Mind, The Hand, and It's Not You. Hard to pick a 2nd favorite between those 3.

I'm sure that show would sell out without a doubt. The tickets went on sale in early December I believe... I was going to wait and get them but I splurged at 3am Christmas morning because I was nervous they wouldn't be around much longer.

Favorites hmm... Papa Roach would probably be Getting Away With Murder. Nickelback isn't easy to pick, but if I had to get stuck listening to one song forever I'd probably go with Far Away. I absolutely LOVE that song.

Nickelback's shows are SOOOOOOOOO good. Chad always interacts with a crowd and make's everyone laugh their asses off. He's a funny dude. They have so much pyro stuff too. You should come to the show in April, it'll be so worth it. When you have bands like NB and Shinedown playing on the same night, it'll be..... just... well... idk but fantastic would be an understatement!

Funny you mention Papa Roach too. They opened for NB over the summer and they were so awesome. Jacoby knows how to get a crowed rolling, he's crazy. I didn't really know too much of their stuff before the summer but I have a ton of it now!

this is so freaky... in an awesome way =]

I'm from Rockville in Montgomery County. couple counties north :p

I totally remember someone cutting the line haha. I was standing there thinking how in the hell did they get to cut the line? not that it mattered though. that's pretty cool. If anyone would let someone cut in line because they had to go, it'd be HS. That drive was such a pain in the ass. I remember them going off stage at like 12:15 or so and by the time I got out of there it was like 1:30 I think. Pulled in the driveway around 5. longest drive back ever.

and yeaaa it was an awesome show. I don't remember too much of it. I went for 3DD, wasn't too into Nickelback at the time but after the show they put on I really started liking them. I've seen them 3 times now and their shows are just wicked. They're playing at the Verizon Center (D.C.) with Shinedown in April and I have tix for that. That'll be the 4th one. Seems like I go to so many concerts but NB & Halestorm are the only ones I really go to see time & time again.

so umm.. you have aim or fb or anything? =]

Thanks, all the awesome feedback I'm getting really means alot. This is a dream of mine to become a photographer and I'm really hoping this gets my name out there. Yea I was at the National in November, that was an awesome show. Joe said they're doing another headling tour in April/May and they'd be back here then! and I can't help but notice how much music we have in common. Nickelback & 3 Doors Down were like my favorite bands before Halestorm and infact my first concert featured both of them. crazy huh? haha. Where in MD are ya from?
