Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale has revealed she relished the challenge of opening up for Iron Maiden on the metal legends' 50th anniversary tour, despite the fact that Maiden boast one of the most famously stubborn fanbases in all of rock music.

Speaking to Metal Hammer in Budapest after playing the first show of Maiden's lauded Run For Your Lives world tour, Lzzy says she has previous experience with dealing with potentially hostile fanbases, and it's something she's happy to get stuck into.
