Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale appears on the cover of the next issue of Revolver, which will hit newsstands on February 10 and is available for purchase online right now. You can view the cover below.

You also can read an excerpt from the issue’s cover story, written by Senior Writer Dan Epstein. In this section, the frontwoman discusses wild fan gifts, who she fangirled over, and Ronnie Jame Dio’s advice.

What’s the wildest gift you’ve ever received from a fan?

]. Some fans came up to me and gave me a gold-painted wooden box. I opened the box, and inside was a gold pacifier that they had made, with a chain so it could go around my neck, and fangs to attach to it. It was a very creative gift, though I’m not sure exactly what they were thinking. I still have it, though I have no idea what to do with it. They were like, “We figured you’d appreciate this.” And I was like, “Uh, yeah, of course!” Who wouldn’t want a gold pacifier with attachable fangs, with a chain that goes around your neck so you don’t lose it and a gold box to put it in? Who wouldn’t appreciate that?

Are there any rock stars that you’re currently obsessed with? Is there anyone that you’ve completely lost your shit over when you met them?

You know, I’ve been very fortunate to actually meet a lot of the people who have influenced me. My inner 14-year-old died a little when I got to meet Tom Keifer and play with him. You meet a lot of these people, and when you play and tour and talk and hang out with them, they become more like your peers and your brothers and sisters. But then you have those moments where you’re like, “Holy shit!” You revert back to your 14-year-old self and you’re like, “Uhhhhh… I don’t know what to say, but you’re awesome!” [

] I was totally like that with Ronnie James Dio when we played with Heaven and Hell.

I imagine at this point you’ve also been on the other side of that, where fans come up to talk to you and then suddenly forget how to speak. How do you deal with that?

Oh, it’s so wonderful, but it’s also extremely humbling. It’s hard for me to think about myself as someone that can evoke that kind of reaction. Honestly, I’m still the same person I was when I started this band—I’m very immature, and I’m not cool in any way. So it’s really weird to be in that position. At the same time I really appreciate it, so you want to make sure that they feel good and that they feel comfortable, because I would want that as a fan. When we played with Heaven and Hell we saw Ronnie outside the buses signing everything for everybody, and taking every picture. And after he was done—this was at about two in the morning—he came back to our RV that we were touring in at the time and made sure that he said goodbye to us. I was like, “Okay, I’m going to totally try to have a conversation with him and not be just a stupid fangirl.” So I said to him, “You’re so wonderful—we just watched you sign for all these people, and I’m sure they would have understood if you were just tired and wanted to go to sleep.” He looked at me, and he said, “Lzzy, it’s a moment in time that you share with these people. You’re never gonna remember their names, you’re never gonna remember the venue you played, but they’re gonna remember meeting you for the rest of their lives. So you make it good for every single one of them.” And I’m like, “Yes, Uncle Ronnie! Yes!” I do think about that a lot. It’s such a small kindness that you can give to somebody—you give them a pick, or you give them a piece of jewelry, or you take a picture with them or you sign a piece of paper. It’s no effort on your part, but it makes their world when you do that stuff. And you do get a little bit addicted to that, because you see the happiness you can bring to somebody and that it doesn’t take that much. So there’s really no excuse not to do it.
