Including Christianity or any religion in a video on a rock and metal channel is bound to cause controversy, so kudos to Loudwire for keeping Lacey's testimony in the video :)
Kritika Sample One Because a large portion of the rock/metal community are atheists who scoff at religion being showcased or talked about in a non ridiculing manner. They’d probably laugh at Lacey’s testimony.
That's a good interviewer. You don't want to force questions and interrupt the person you're interviewing to ask questions that don't flow naturally within the conversation because that's what you're having - a conversation. I like how he brought that up and didn't shut her off for fear of controversy. He actually encouraged her to elaborate and allowed her conversational space and time to tell her story and interjected at right times. They naturally picked the interview back up and continued. Nothing felt forced. It felt natural. I applaud you for taking a backseat and letting Lacy shine. Really brought her personality to the forefront.
Also an atheist here but she has been an insparation since I was little... got to see flyleaf in christian shows and in secular shows ... You gotta be open minded and respect good music and lyrics!!
With so many rock fans out there who absolutely hate Christians, I really appreciate you guys letting these people share their story. Whether it’s her or head from Korn, or whoever else, I’m glad y’all are open to listening about. I get that many people have issues with Christians, but no matter what someone’s story is, if it can inspire someone to improve themselves, it’s always a good thing
He's right.. it's not easy being a Christian in heavy rock/metal/punk, you WILL get dissed lol but not everyone's like that of course.. love the video 😊💜
I don't really agree with this stereotype that "Rock fans hate Christians." I was raised catholic, and while I don't follow that path anymore, I've never had any organized hate towards any religion. And in fact, I'm very interested in learning everything I can about all religions.
i like her. she seems like the type you could talk to for hours and it feel like only a few minutes have passed. shes softly spoken and genuine and i find it really attractive.
@@kritikasampleone7457 They should... Religion is for the weak minded. You have no way of proving any religion to be true. So why would you preach something with no evidence and a lot of fallacies. I don't understand this madness. How do you choose which religion is true or not. You don't because they are all bs. I'm in no position to tell anyone what they should think or not, so why should you?
@@kritikasampleone7457 Religion and spirituality is related but there is a difference, they share the same need for a higher power, which we have no evidence for. I still stand by my last comment though. Have a great weekend!
I love Lacey. She has such a beautiful heart, and her story is so inspirational. I'm super thankful God saved this lovely lady from suicide. Grateful for her songs, and her books as well. ❤❤❤
@@rafaelsales5827 Yep you are right, i just read a comment here about being afraid to be bashed when talking about God, Jesus and faith. I told him not to be afraid.
@@rafaelsales5827 People of faith are inbred morons, you are a great example. "Why am i not allowed to spew moronic religious views in public?!" Well maybe because you can't verify your position. Do you care about what is true?
I always get a kick out of singers that our so heavy/loud in their music are so soft spoken. Im glad i was able to see her sing live. It was sad to see all the hateful comments when she left Flyleaf. People didnt care why she left but made it more about themselves instead of wishing her the best. Thank you Lacey for giving us incredible music.
WOW. What an amazing woman. The fact that you let her speak what her soul wanted her to say is really fucking awesome. You are an excellent interviewer Graham. I love your style man. You've got an incredibly unbiased point of view. That is true journalism. I wish the main stream media would take some notes from you.
Lacey seemed very uncomfortable to begin with but you could tell she really does believe in what she experienced and that she is not only better off for it but also feels very happy and almost relieved to be able to speak of it, in contrast to the beginning of the video where as said she appeared quite fidgety and stressed. Lovely woman, truly, and she makes beautiful music.
@@lexip396able That's pretty much the definition of empathy and it's not always a bad thing. I think that's why dark music(I'm not only talking about rock or metal) appeals to people who have been abused and mistreated, because there's anger, sadness, loneliness associated with being a genuinely caring person but growing up in a world of hate, abuse, selfishness, etc.
+tMattLZ She's a very sweet person :) She's my favorite female vocalist and she has such a love for music and God that shows when she's talking about either one.
not trying to call you out, cuz i 100% agree with you, but let's not use the term "rock star" here. rock stars are arrogant, selfish, greedy, dickheads. MUSICIANS are the cool ones that care about their art and their fans. rock stars like Gene Simmons can piss off. let's raise up the true artists like Lacy!
Brad Shannon meet her in Jacksonville Florida April in 2016 soo down to earth and a sweetheart and 😎 cool.. soo cute and gorgeous.. was shy and nervous to ask for a picture then I went up ask her then she replied yeah sure and what your name meaning me 😂 then I replied tony then got separated pic with her and her man and then me and only her
I'm Christian enduring a lot of trials. This year has been by far the hardest on me. Came across Apocalyptica's 'Broken Pieces' in my recommended. I recognized Lacey from Flyleaf and did a bit of research and found her testimony which ultimately lead me here. I believe everything happens for a reason, and for some reason I'm commenting on this video. If you read this, please know that you are loved, valued, and you have purpose. Don't give up, and put your trust in Christ. *hug*
Graham is absolutely amazing at getting his guests to open up and really let the viewers understand them better. He has really mastered the art of being a non interruptive interviewer.
She is an inspiration. I had to hold back tears on this one. I do miss her music and she is so talented but I’m glad to see she found her path and focused on what is important to her and sticks to her values. She rocks as a wife, mother and singer.
I have watched quite a few of these interviews. This one, by far, is the best. Lacey seemed so genuine and really poured her heart out in this interview. The interviewer did an excellent job of letting her speak and asking her to elaborate. Great job!
I know this is 5 years ago, and this may never get read. But Graham I give massive kudos for listening and not judging her story and reacting negatively. She is here for a reason and am happy she is still here. What a wonderful interview with such a wholesome and beautiful video overall
Saw Lacey in concert a few years ago. She's a wonderful girl and an excellent musician. She did a great cover of Roxanne by The Police towards the end of her set. Definitely not a concert I'll ever forget.
I ♥️ love her sooooo much. Saw Flyleaf before they really blew up. Toured with P.O.D, Staind, and Taproot when I saw them. She is such amazing singer. Love her soul.
This is a woman who is wide awake and I like her thinking. She has had a lot of suffering but she's helped heal herself through an epiphany and spiritual experience with our Creator and I'm so happy for her! There's nothing better than a wake up call like this to raise your spiritual vibration! What an incredible experience!
So this is an awesome series, but props to "Gruhamed". His interview style is awesome, he asks good questions, he lets the interviewee get their say, and seems like a chill dude!
Man, this is legit the best segment on RUclips. Loudwire, thank you for Wikipedia Fact or Fiction. You get to know an artist in their words, no scripts or anything. Hat off to the interviewer for being so respectful to Lacey's beliefs.
My testimony is similar to Laceys. Mostly in the way where she said she wouldn't use the word "religious". The religious people literally hated Jesus. Definitely spiritual and God is definitely awesome and loving. Wish I could share my testimony but I struggle with the right words sometimes. Edit: I cant listen to Laceys music without crying because it hits home and is so anointed and feels very personal to me. Thank you God for saving Lacey and thank you Lacey for putting your music out. 🖤
So much wholesomeness and genuineness in this video and comments section. Hard to find these days. Cherish this people. Also, as a Christian and a fan of all kinds of music, she made the greatest use of this fact/fiction. Go Lacey.
Thanks for keeping her testimony in the video! Thank you for asking her to elaborate because someone else that feels like her in the world that is meant to see this. God Bless Graham and Loudwire.
So glad she released the solo album. When she left Flyleaf, I thought it was such a shame if we never heard her sing rock again. But, whew, thankfully she returned to us!!
This was a very moving clip. Her testimony chokes me up. And I never knew the full meaning behind Fully Alive. It blew me away. Also kind of choked me up and also was very challenging to me personally.
When I saw flyleaf live at the Zydeco in Birmingham, al before they were big I was front and center stage. And when they came on I was looking at her almost eye level and she was on a stage. It was a small stage, but a stage nonetheless. I loved her energy throughout though. To be such a tiny person she sure has a big voice. I could hear her scream above the speakers and amps.
My band opened for them on 4 separate occasions at bar shows and she truly is tiny. She was always so sweet she would wait around and come congratulate every band on an awesome show. She didn’t drink but she would come sit down while we were having beers after a set and talk super sweet super real and down to earth.
After watching dozens and dozens of these fact or fiction, this is the most real and honest one. def my favorite. I'm not even a flyleaf fan but that was so real.
They met on 2006's Family Values Tour, there are some pics of them together havin long conversations in the backstage, they became friends in that tour and it was awesome to see it. It's odd they have these coincidences going in tehir lives.
had a hard time finishing this video. two suicide attempts... second one shouldn't have failed, it was just a fluke that it failed. i just attributed it to it wasn't my time to go, cuz there should have been no reason my attempt failed. my faith is on the fence. but lacey's story scares me and i wonder if i should find my religion to finally end my pain so i can finally have the desire to continue my life.
I don't go into religion but I did accept God and Jesus in my life, as long as you act in the mean of love, life, and honesty your actions are good, you have nothing to fear, I don't go to church because people there aren't real, and I don't need to have a religion in order to spiritually pray and make a connection to the God out there that I believe in. I see God as more than just a man in the sky, I see it as what makes the life flows, the nature that makes the plants grow, the air, the water, the fire, all the elements inside and outside of Earth, the gravity and force that makes the planets orbit around each other, everything out there has a soul so as we, if you put a body together it will not have life, the soul is what makes the body work, that spark, that energy or baterry to go on and makes your heart pump, when we die I believe our energy just morphs into other energy and you keep on living, I believe in reicarnation but not always as humans, I feel we sometimes have other forms of life as an animal, plant or element in this Earth and other planets... So I see God as the nature itself that makes the world keep spinning around and everything happening at the same time, Bible says he is the end and the beggining it's a never ending cycle just like nature itself. Hell and Heaven are everywhere it depends on how you take your life, your actions, you way of answering to the events in your life. All good and bad feelings are like seeds that keep springing up inside of us, so similar to Karma and Darma, and the Law of Attraction, it depends on you wheter you rehearse your pain and bad feelings and get depressed or have faith, hope and focus on the positive things around you bc there's always something to be grateful for, even after being through tough dark or shitty moments, you learn from them, you become better if you want to, so there's always hope and if you have the willingness of living and being better you will be. There's always calm after the storm, but the storm itself is a phase we sometimes need to live in order to experience the full calmness afterwards, hence why there's no darkness without light and viceversa but I decide to stand in the light and believe in God as nature and the natural way of how things develope and how we take them and act on them will keep us stronger and in the light.. if we want to. We have the freedom of choosing, and I choose to live by love and faith and not hate nor fear.
I hope you found what you were looking for. I can vouch that having a relationship with Jesus is the best and most glorious adventure you will ever go on. He died on the cross for the sins of humanity to pay the consequence for us. Sin can't just be ignored, and it doesn't just disappear. That's why Jesus came and did something about it, so all we have to do is believe that and ask Him to forgive us and come into our lives. God has always loved you and always been with you. He was always waiting for you to notice Him.
Love Lacey Read your book while I was locked up at physiatrist hospital. I had bought it and never read it until then. It was beautiful. I bought your other book but I gave it away before I could read it to someone that needed it better. I hate reading unless I like it lol
This is incredible. I'm just someone on the road and I believe in acting right. Your testimony made so much sense to me because I can hear it in your music. I listen to you with my daughters and we jam out. We believe in love and in a God who loves everyone and wants us to act right and do our best. Your music has made a lot of difference to us Lacey! We appreciate it. Sometimes words aren't enough and we need the music.
Great job Lacey! I'm so happy that she had the opportunity to share her testimony with one of the most secular industries in rock music! Praise God for all that He has done in and through Lacey!!
To anyone who doesn't know who this girl is or who this band is I ask only one thing.. Put aside any bs you have with the whole god thing or whatever and listen to this bands first album cause it's really good..trust me.
I don't think I ever watched an interview with Lacey Sturm before and she seems so down to Earth. Cool gal, lovely voice. She also nails the metal screams but hard to find a lot of songs where she does it all.
@@remisteele8904 I've thought that as well. But my experience with my wife and her girl friends who choose the opposite tells me otherwise. Women can pretend that being a career woman brings happiness but if they think happiness is measured by the success and their position in a job then let me tell you, that's not what true happiness is. Nothing is more rewarding than procreating your own little lives and watching them grow. And nothing is more rewarding than understanding God and what He did for us on that cross. But hey im just a silly guy with some opinions. Don't get me wrong i get that there are a small amount of exceptions where some of those career women are really happy. But from my experience, overall, most women yearn for the true happiness of what's a part of their nurturing nature. And that's reproducing and and becoming a mother.
@@SlippyDude you're projecting your own experience onto others, and basing your expectations of others on that. Happiness and fulfillment comes in many shapes and forms. Let people do what makes them happy and worry about yourself.
I’m agnostic but I deeply respect her beliefs knowing the reason behind them. I think the reason I dislike a lot of religious people is some of them are such fake followers but her faith actually saved her life and is genuinely important to her.

Its nice to see an interviewer that just lets the interviewee talk and enables an environment of elaboration by just keeping their mouth shut.

Just does the interview and it's not all a big set up to either sell something or make the person look bad. ya, that is a better way to do it.
Jimmy Fallon can learn some interview techniques from this guy.
We need more like him
She said her testimony in such a light hearted way with lots of giggles, but it filled me with tears.
yea she's really chill
Maybe shes trying not to be too emotional because she doesnt wanna cry in this kind of interview
I kinda feel like it was the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart strings.
Me too...I cried like a baby just now. Felt something trying to talk to me
Yes! Lacey is one who with music or simply her conversation Evokes emotion and tears and smiles and love,
I admire Lacy's boldness. It's not easy to share these things on a non-christian platform. Keep fighting the good fight!
One of my favorite female musical artists. Im an atheist but I adore real people regardless of belief difference. She is awesome.

I love the wavering in her voice while telling the stories in the church. It's an amazing story.

Props for accepting her to speak about her coming to God. I know a lot of people wouldn't allow that, sadly.

Huh. She has a son named Jack and a husband named Josh... Amy Lee has a son named Jack and a husband named Josh... lol what a strange coincidence
Allymew OH MY GAWDDD
Ally_EV_LS Amy Lee is Lacey!
Amy Lee had a BF named Sean that drank too much. I wonder if Lacy had a drink named BF that Seaned too much. hmmmm
They are the same age too
They met on 2006's Family Values Tour, there are some pics of them together havin long conversations in the backstage, they became friends in that tour and it was awesome to see it. It's odd they have these coincidences going in tehir lives.
Sometimes we are touched in our darkest moments and it saves us from the sucking vacuum of pain. I’m glad he reached you Lacy
had a hard time finishing this video. two suicide attempts... second one shouldn't have failed, it was just a fluke that it failed. i just attributed it to it wasn't my time to go, cuz there should have been no reason my attempt failed. my faith is on the fence. but lacey's story scares me and i wonder if i should find my religion to finally end my pain so i can finally have the desire to continue my life.
Ryan Larcher 100%. Life is a gift worth living brother.
Don't find religion. Find Jesus Christ. He offers a personal relationship with you through his Spirit. He will give you a reason to live.
I don't go into religion but I did accept God and Jesus in my life, as long as you act in the mean of love, life, and honesty your actions are good, you have nothing to fear, I don't go to church because people there aren't real, and I don't need to have a religion in order to spiritually pray and make a connection to the God out there that I believe in. I see God as more than just a man in the sky, I see it as what makes the life flows, the nature that makes the plants grow, the air, the water, the fire, all the elements inside and outside of Earth, the gravity and force that makes the planets orbit around each other, everything out there has a soul so as we, if you put a body together it will not have life, the soul is what makes the body work, that spark, that energy or baterry to go on and makes your heart pump, when we die I believe our energy just morphs into other energy and you keep on living, I believe in reicarnation but not always as humans, I feel we sometimes have other forms of life as an animal, plant or element in this Earth and other planets... So I see God as the nature itself that makes the world keep spinning around and everything happening at the same time, Bible says he is the end and the beggining it's a never ending cycle just like nature itself. Hell and Heaven are everywhere it depends on how you take your life, your actions, you way of answering to the events in your life. All good and bad feelings are like seeds that keep springing up inside of us, so similar to Karma and Darma, and the Law of Attraction, it depends on you wheter you rehearse your pain and bad feelings and get depressed or have faith, hope and focus on the positive things around you bc there's always something to be grateful for, even after being through tough dark or shitty moments, you learn from them, you become better if you want to, so there's always hope and if you have the willingness of living and being better you will be. There's always calm after the storm, but the storm itself is a phase we sometimes need to live in order to experience the full calmness afterwards, hence why there's no darkness without light and viceversa but I decide to stand in the light and believe in God as nature and the natural way of how things develope and how we take them and act on them will keep us stronger and in the light.. if we want to. We have the freedom of choosing, and I choose to live by love and faith and not hate nor fear.
I hope you found what you were looking for. I can vouch that having a relationship with Jesus is the best and most glorious adventure you will ever go on. He died on the cross for the sins of humanity to pay the consequence for us. Sin can't just be ignored, and it doesn't just disappear. That's why Jesus came and did something about it, so all we have to do is believe that and ask Him to forgive us and come into our lives. God has always loved you and always been with you. He was always waiting for you to notice Him.
Update. Did you decide to follow Christ? How are you doing?
She's always been so freakin cute! I love her!
I could listen to her talk all day long.
I'm encouraged to hear Lacey's testimony of faith in Christ. amen
Love Lacey
Read your book while I was locked up at physiatrist hospital. I had bought it and never read it until then. It was beautiful.
I bought your other book but I gave it away before I could read it to someone that needed it better. I hate reading unless I like it lol
Amen. Amazing testimony!! Keep sharing our faith!!
I love her voice
Years late to this party. But Lacey is amazing. Overseas in 2007 I used to watch her music videos and it kept me sane. She is so talented and open.
She's such a wonderfully inspiring person, and amazingly talented.
Excellent interview! Loudwire always does a great job!
This is incredible. I'm just someone on the road and I believe in acting right. Your testimony made so much sense to me because I can hear it in your music. I listen to you with my daughters and we jam out. We believe in love and in a God who loves everyone and wants us to act right and do our best. Your music has made a lot of difference to us Lacey! We appreciate it. Sometimes words aren't enough and we need the music.
awesome...
100%christian and 100% metal head!!!!
I'm 100% Conservative 100% Catholic 100% metalhead
@@Highrollinhunter same here, brother
And so is Tom Araya
I love her talking voice 😍🤘🏼🥁🎸
Great job Lacey! I'm so happy that she had the opportunity to share her testimony with one of the most secular industries in rock music! Praise God for all that He has done in and through Lacey!!
honestly very happy she stuck around, Flyleaf and her solo album have helped me out when I'm stressed out.
Love her. She's not messing around with her life, either. :)
Beautiful! I know I'm super late on this, but that was just Beautiful to hear how her life canged several times and all for the better!!!
To anyone who doesn't know who this girl is or who this band is I ask only one thing..
Put aside any bs you have with the whole god thing or whatever and listen to this bands first album cause it's really good..trust me.
Faith in God or not, very good thing our sister Lacey is still with us 💞🙏🙏🙏
She brought up the tour with Staind. My first intro to Flyleaf was at the Staind concert in Seattle on that tour.
Love her so much, her testimony is so powerful.
Never heard of this band or this woman either. Curious to hear them. She seems like a chill woman.
she is chill. but her screams are like whoa...
SoulForce Revolution they’re all right
SoulForce Revolution They were very fun band live !!
She has one hell of a scream!
I mean, you're literally on an app where all you need to do is search for Flyleaf. This comment was kind of unnecessary.
Much respect to Lacy for not shying away from giving her testimony about how she came to Christ.
Nice!! Taking it to another level of professionalism, 🤘Loudwire🤘
I don't think I ever watched an interview with Lacey Sturm before and she seems so down to Earth. Cool gal, lovely voice. She also nails the metal screams but hard to find a lot of songs where she does it all.
TAKE THE BULLETS AWAAAAAYYYAYYAYAYYY
.... we as human... right? I think lol
+Daniel Garcia Yes, featuring Lacey Sturm.
I love to hear her sermons. Shes a true genuine good person.
This is one fulfilled happy woman. She has god, a house full of children, and a loving husband on her side. Puts a smile on my face.
If that works for her, that's great. But a woman can be fulfilled in life without those things as well.
@@remisteele8904 I've thought that as well. But my experience with my wife and her girl friends who choose the opposite tells me otherwise. Women can pretend that being a career woman brings happiness but if they think happiness is measured by the success and their position in a job then let me tell you, that's not what true happiness is. Nothing is more rewarding than procreating your own little lives and watching them grow. And nothing is more rewarding than understanding God and what He did for us on that cross. But hey im just a silly guy with some opinions. Don't get me wrong i get that there are a small amount of exceptions where some of those career women are really happy. But from my experience, overall, most women yearn for the true happiness of what's a part of their nurturing nature. And that's reproducing and and becoming a mother.
@@SlippyDude you're projecting your own experience onto others, and basing your expectations of others on that. Happiness and fulfillment comes in many shapes and forms. Let people do what makes them happy and worry about yourself.
@@remisteele8904 im not preventing anyone from doing anything lol. You really understand english can you?
@@remisteele8904 Also, I literally admitted that it's just my opinion. So you're getting all worked up and telling me the same thing I just admitted.
Wow. .. her story at the second question is powerful! 💜 Awesome
I’m agnostic but I deeply respect her beliefs knowing the reason behind them. I think the reason I dislike a lot of religious people is some of them are such fake followers but her faith actually saved her life and is genuinely important to her.
Idk WHY I started getting back into flyleaf lately but after seeing this, now I REALLY want to buy her book
