The entire band is drastically under rated. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. Yes, their videos and albums are fantastic, but they will never do them justice. The energy they have and Lajon's presence and his raw vocals are just unmatched. I've seen hundreds of amazing bands live and I've never seen anything that compares to Sevendust.

Absolutely 100% agree on their live shows, they have such amazing energy. I saw them at the Tattoo the Earth tour at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, and I remember that not only because of how just mind-blowing they were but for a specific fan-interaction incident that occurred while they were on stage. At that tour, we'd noticed a group of about ten or so skinheads that had been floating from the main stage to the second stage and back again as the bands switched out. Sevendust took their turn on the main stage, and about three songs in we could see a kerfuffle happening stage right, right next to the stage, and the band abruptly stopped playing, with Lajon shouting something unintelligible (he'd put the mic down). A few seconds later, out of nowhere, Morgan catapulted out from behind his drum kit right on top of this group of skinheads, swinging both fists as the security team dove in to pull him out and eject the group of skinheads. We couldn't hear what was going on or what was said, but no doubt it was epithets hurled at Lajon and the rest of the band because of his skin color. We did hear the cheering of the crowd nearby as security and police escorted the group out, and then Sevendust continued playing. It was awesome.

I went to high school with Lajon. He was dead serious about starting a band. I got to experience his friendship and passion for finding his own singing style.

I saw them live around 2001-2002 (cant remember exactly at the moment) and they were great. I consider them at the top of their game at that time...Lajon's voice still hadnt been damaged from decades of touring, Morgan was in full showmanship mode and the other guys were comfortable in what they were doing. It's easy to tell the bands who are pros and actually rehearse their shows over and over...they can seemlessly come out like a well oiled machine and put on a great show, and that includes techs and roadies doing their jobs. Sevedust were firmly in the pro category back then, I'm sure they're even more of a well oiled entertainment machine these days. Worth the ticket assuming Lajon can still sing songs like this, Waffle, Angels son etc

Lajon Witherspoon is a vocal powerhouse. Fluid and melodious one moment, raw, dirty, potent, and aggressive the next. I never get tired of his voice. Sevendust has such a distinctive style, it's probably why I own so many of their albums. I was hooked the moment I heard "Black" and "My Ruin" on a sample album that came with another album. Pretty much the same way I discovered Disturbed as well.

"They seem like they have so much energy" -- 100%. One of the best live bands around, they've been doing it for so long and always bring it live. All 5 members contribute vocally. As others have mentioned the background screams with the ethereal quality are the drummer Morgan, that's been a staple of their sound from the start. Lajon is absolutely one of the most unique voices in metal, and Sevendust as a band is one of the most unique out there. They came up through the oft-criticized "nu-metal" scene but always stood out among their peers. They didn't reach the level of fame as some of the other bands from that era/genre, but they've been consistent through the years and always put out great music in combination with amazing live performances. I'm so happy you finally got to check them out, they're one of my favourite bands! They're about to do an anniversary tour of their album "Animosity", and you should definitely check some stuff out from that album. You might be able to find some live acoustic videos from their "South Side Double Wide" Acoustic album, which vocally mostly highlight Lajon and Clint. If you ever get a chance to see this band live, do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed. Have lost count of the miles we've driven to see them play. Final bonus, they're 5 of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Especially Vinnie!

Such marvelous talent, and despite the lack of general recognition, still grinding away to this day. The loyal fan base keeps building it seems, and for good reason. Lajon’s vocals hit like metallic butter, but in the best way. And for a bit of crossover flavor, for private listening if nothing else, they released a cover of “The Day I Tried to Live”, originally by Soundgarden, as tribute to Chris Cornell upon his passing. Thanks as always Ms.Z. See you again soon!

I'm very happy you're exploring all these great bands with excellent vocal performances from 90's metal/rock acts. The craft and control of vocalists like Maynard of Tool/A Perfect Circle, Lajon of Sevendust, Chino of Deftones/Team Sleep and Matt Holt of Nothingface. Amongst MANY others...bringing great lyrical content. With the noted vocal ferocity and presence. But, also amazing levels of control. Let's not forget though; especially with a bands like Sevendust or Deftones, the production and mixing aspect plays a big part in crafting THAT "sound". A sound Sevendust in particular has been working on for decades. Since every member delivers vocally, not just Lajon. Great vid. 👍🤘

Love, love, love Sevendust! One of the best live performances you can see. Seasons is a good album to hear his voice, its more melody than heavy but I'd have to say his voice in the song Shadows in Red from their album Next hits me in all the right places.

No one does it like Sevendust. I know I’m way late to the video, but I’m excited to see that you’ve heard them at least once. I’ve loved these guys since their first release (‘94, I think), and they have kept up the energy and quality ever since. Please check out more of their stuff.

The very best concert I ever have been to was a Sevendust show. At the height of their popularity, saw them in basically a Morton building with no stands just a large open room. A band that truly loves their fans and plays for the love of music.

Ya gotta love the backup vocal mix of Morgan Rose, Clint Lowery, and John Connelly. (specifically Morgan & Clint) Clint does the deeper backup, and Morgan does the stuff you first reacted to. Each member's technical abilities are unparalleled.

Seen them live and was the most personal musical experience I ever witnessed. Lajon had lost a brother recently and was crying on stage talking about him. He lit incense and dedicated the next song to him, absolutely took everyone's heart from that day on.

This band is amazing! I've often wondered WHY is this band so underrated? I know my answer might upset some people, but please take the time to read my reasoning before you flame me in the comments. I truly believe that Sevendust is so underrated because they have an African American singer. Our country is very racially divided still to this day, especially in the south, where Sevendust is from. I firmly believe that having a black singer played a big role in hindering the bands success. I mean, their first single is called "Black" and speaks on racial profiling, as if they're saying "yes, we have a black singer and we're going to speak on those issues, too." Coming out in the mid 90's, when metal was in a state of flux, and speaking on those issues, Sevendust we're pushing boundaries that A lot of people weren't ready to hear.(and still aren't to this day). You can't say they aren't talented. They are. You can't say they suck live. On the contrary, they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen. You can't say they are a bunch of stuck up assholes, they are one of the most gracious and fan friendly bands in metal. I think that it's a racial issue at it's heart. Which truly saddens me, because I've met Lajon, and he is the absolute coolest and kindest man you would ever want to meet. If you disagree with my reasoning, please don't flame me, I would love to hear your side. Great reaction, Elizabeth! I look forward to more Sevendust reactions. I would recommend Black from their debut album. It's one of my favs from them. 🌹

I don't think you're entirely wrong on your viewpoint but I think a major part of their lack of popularity has to do with marketing I've been a fan since "home" and growing up I had never seen a 7D video on MTV I wouldn't even know when a new album came out unless I seen it in Hastings or Oncue (yes I'm that old) they really weren't given the time of day by anybody including their label. Which is a tragedy since they are musically a great metal band.

So why was Howard so successful with Killswitch Engage?
@brandoncrow3741
2 жыл бұрын
@@MFMasterBates Howard Jones wasn't even the original vocalist in Killswitch, and he's no longer the vocalist. I actually prefer Killswitch with Howard more than Jesse, but they basically had one successful album with Howard. Killswitch Engage are not even as successful as 7D. When I speak of Sevendust as underrated, I think they should have come out and become as successful as Slipknot did. Or as Linkin Park did . I don't think sevendust has a single platinum album. LP's first album is diamond. Sevendust and Killswitch Engage have had success, but not on the level they probably deserve. Would Killswitch have been more popular without Howard? Have they become more successful since he left?

I was lucky, and smart enough, to go see them live last fall in Minneapolis. Lajon, as well as the band, exude a feeling of love and welcoming and a genuine feeling that the appreciate their fans and the energy of that show was fucking amazing. Everyone there felt it. They are masters of weaving you into their energy. Definitely one of my top shows.

Lajon is a metal God, but the whole band is so underrated and insanely talented. The drummer does a lot of shouting/growling, the lead guitarist does a lot of back up vocals and can sing really good himself. All of them work together and blend amazingly. I really wish they were more popular. I've been listening to them since the 90s and every time I see someone listen to them for the first time, the look on their face always makes me smile. This band brings emotion out of everyone that listens to them.

Many many years ago I worked for a radio station in Hartford Connecticut. They had a contest for Sevendust's album Hurt where winners got to go play paintball with the band and US Marines. I got to meet the guys and to say Lajon has a distinct voice is a vast understatement. He is very similar in his vocal control to David Draimon of Disturbed. These guys have been and always will be one of my favorite bands.

I was even able to see them do an acoustic set, and it really showcases the emotion that Lajon can put into a song with all the harshness of the other instruments cut out. I hope you’ll cover something from their album “Animosity”.
