Listen to Lizzy Hale & Halestorm Cover the Who for New Documentary ‘Long Live Rock … Celebrate the Chaos’

Long Live Rock … Celebrate the Chaos is a new documentary film chronicling a singular phenomenon that feels like a relic of the past, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic: slamming around in a crowded mosh pit at a hard-rock concert, as well as the overall relationship that music fans have with hard-rock music.

The film borrows part of its title from the Who‘s “Long Live Rock,” which was written in 1972, released in 1974 and, now, covered by Lizzy Hale and Halestorm from the film’s soundtrack.

Simply put, Hale dominates the song as she does for much of Halestorm’s music, her powerhouse vocals bringing forth enough electricity to make your hair stand on end. It’s a great cover from one of hard-rock’s most gifted vocalists, really a perfect fit. Take a listen:

Long Live Rock … Celebrate the Chaos will premiere on March 12 as a Watch Now @ Home Cinema Release via its global distributor, Abramorama, and an official trailer premiered on Tuesday.
