Man, you were amazing on the drums last night in SF. Thanks for giving it all. My daughter, Sydney and I hope you and the rest of the band like our poster. We love you guys, and just wanted to say thank you for sharing Halestorm's awesome music and a big congratulations on your grammy! Woo hoo. Stay true to what makes Halestorm such a brilliant stand out in today's "cookie cutter" rock scene. Alison

Happy birthday! You have the same birthday as Brook Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets. He's 25 so he's about your age, I think.

My 3year old son was watching a video clip from a concert and was watching you play the drums and he has his own little drum set and he loves when i play your guys album cause he will go and sit and his drums and rock out!!!

Hey guys (and gal obviously)! Thanks you sooo, soooo much for existing and just generally making the world of music a better place! Was privileged enough to see you guys twice on your UK tour and i’ll be honest right now and say my custom designed halestorm t shirt which you all signed in the Electric Ballroom is easily my proudest possession (narrowly beating my Nintendo 64 :P) Got to see you guys last night too! (i was the one holding the sign saying “please give shout out to left nut which couldn’t be here due to cancer”) Sadly no one did a shout out and i had to leave before Bullet came on as i bust open the stitches from my surgery in the mosh pit but still.... totally worth it! May Arejay never stop being the craziest mofo ever to sit behind a drum kit! May Josh never stop rocking that bass! May Joe never stop shredding crazy licks! May Lzzy never stop being the hardest rocking high heeled wearing lass ever to pick up a guitar! May you never stop touring! May you never stop rocking! AND MAY YOU NEVER EVER CHANGE!!!

Hey
this sounds a bit daft but the first time I saw you was at taste of chaos in Manchester in 2010 i think. I've literally adored halestorm ever since you are my favourite band, which is weird because i've never specifically had one favourite band before.
But when you where at taste of chaos we managed to get you to sign my ribs! I was planning on getting it tattooed on but I couldn't get in at a studio at the time and I didnt just want any old tattooist to do it because tattoos are a HUGE part of my life. But even two years on I still really do regret not having your signiature tattooed on me! If its possible could I have a signiature that I could add to my nice little collection of tattoos? It will probably most likely go alongside some halestorm lyrics but I'm still stuck on which I like the most. :) x

Hi Arejay!
I saw you at the Electric Factory On December 27th and you were freaking amazing. I love the band and especially you. I have an important question to ask you.
WILL YOU MARRY ME??

racheldt0120's picture

I saw you at the Electric Factory last week. You jumped into the crowd and it was the coolest thing ever. I hope I become an awesome drummer like you!

My husband and I saw you play in Royal Oak MI last weekend, what a phenomenal show, you'll be flattered to know you're my hubby's new "man crush"...not anything gay, he'd just like to be you! HA!

LoriSlisher's picture

We were at your show Friday at Club Fever in South Bend, IN. You are by far my favorite drummer of all time. Buddy Rich, Neal Peart, you. Your showmanship is outstanding, and you have extraordinary talent. Bravo.

Mr. Hale, you're my favorite drummer of the century!

I loved the drum solo last night at Debaser in Stockholm,Sewden October 17. It was just so amazing, I can't waite untill you get back here to Sweden!!! And it was so great to get to talk to you after the show!!! :D

x3NicoleErinx3's picture

Hey AreJay, just wanted to let you know how AWESOME your solo was at the Upstate Concert Hall on August 31st. You totally "rocked" and that may even be an understatement! :D

lovetodance62382's picture

Arejay, I am new to the whole Halestorm concerts since the Carnival of Madness rain concert August 29th, but I loved the show, even though we got drenched and chilled that night. I think that it is really awesome that you and your sister are in a band together. That means alot for family love and togetherness. I really do hope to see you guys again in the rescheduling concert. I missed out buying your band's cd that night because we got kicked out soo quickly. I also know now I wanted to get one of your band's tshirts but missed on telling my mother who was there with me to get it for me. Can't wait to see you guys soon!!!! You totally rocked it out for that concert!!!! You blew my body and mind away!!! I also was very upset that night because you tried to throw me two of your drumsticks and it missed me or went into the guy next to me's arms. I couldn't get them. I will try next time I promise, it just might be a little hard for my height 4'10''.

Voglerbonnwicki's picture

Arejay, wow, I have been a drummer for over 40 years and am damn good at it, lemme tell you, your cuts and drive on the bass is awesome. Some of the best new talent in percussion I have heard in YEARS!

Keep hangin' it out there, wanna hear more, just got the new effort, can't wait to hear it first to last cut...DJ

I LOVE YOU AREJAY HALE YOU KICK ASS ON THEM DRUMS! YOU ARE THE BEST! YOU AND HALESTORM COME BACK TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA!

Ross Beaty's picture

Hey Arejay! First off, i just want to say that as a drummer, you are my idol. I firmly believe that you are the greatest living drummer on the face of the planet, and second all time to the late great Bonzo. Now that that is out of the way, i was wondering if you would consider posting videos or sheet music for how to play all of Halestorms songs? I can kinda play the songs from learning by ear, but i think it would be really cool if you could post exactly how you do it. I kniw you are busy touring right now but if you ever had some time off that would be great. Thanks anyways, and please come back to dallas, tx again!!!

Hey man, it was great seeing you in Indy today. You guys destroyed that show! It was a damn shame you weren't headlining.

I've listened to halestorm on Octane for months, and when I heard you guys "and girl" were coming to Maine with the avalanche tour, I bought tickets right away! Front row and Center I listened to you play and rock out. You guys "and girl" OWNED that show!! Never have I seen such an amazing show! Anytime you come to Maine, I'll be front and center again! Keep on rocking!

awesome you are!

Great show at the CAROLINA REBELLION yesterday. My daughter (also a drummer in her middle school band) loved your energy and as she said your craziness. And thank you for taking the time with each fan to sign autographs and to take pictures with them and to speak to them personally and not just pass the item to be signed on to the next band mate. Thanks for the great show. You made my daughter's day when you told her that you also started out as a snare drummer in you r school band. She has now added another goal to her already many...lol

ImNotAnAngel18's picture

Arejay, you are the most beast ass drummer I have EVER seen. I wish I could actually see you guys live but thankfully you guys have vids on YouTube *Heavenly sound + bright shining lights*. But anyways I hope you guys make another album!! This one is AMAZING and I hope we get to see more from you guys!!!

sarahjk2009's picture

I have to say that you guys kicked ass at Edgefest! I was a little dissapointed that you didn't have time for your drum solo. :( I loved watching you all get so into the music! I can't wait till I can see a FULL show!

Corey's picture

It was amazing meeting you again last night at Hammerstein in NYC. You rocked it and made my friend who was there for Skillet a Halestorm fan. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. This time, I'm catching one of your drumsticks if it kills me!

ChadHannan's picture
