Sevendust is criminally underrated. LJ has one of the best voices in music. Their music keeps getting better somehow. Much much love.
100% agree, just found out about them and did the deep dive. So amazing 👌🏽
@@danielalbright7925 It's a great dive. Been rocking out to them forever. They are the best.
Sevendust kicks ass, incredible vocals and guitar tone. Lajon looks so young, they’ve been around a long time.
These guys just don't get enough credit. They are a awesome band. Wish then nothing but success.
Sevendust is such a underated band. One of my faverates.
I love Sevendust!! They are real. They have love in their hearts. Haven't heard much so I looked and here this is. Great timing!!
Sevendust is my favorite band. Their music has literally given me hope when I have none. I want to meet those guys one day, and thank them. And I swear, every album they drop, there's one song that always feel like it's written for me, and I jam it and get through whatever is in my way.
If sevendust is your favorite band. Ask your dad to hit with a pipe wrench to wake you up from your nightmare 🦄. Have a good day 🌈
@@tysonhenry37 I'm sorry that you have such a poor taste in music
Hope...but no Sorrow ;)
@@tysonhenry37 lol I'm sorry but you have terrible taste in music
Agreed man lajon has a fucking beautiful voice and combine the with Morgan's drums and the guitars/killer fucking bass you be got yourself a kickass band with suffocate and denial being their best songs
Seen them three times in concert. It was a blast everytime.
Yep. I had the pleasure of seeing them live here in Melbourne a few years back when they toured Australia. It was a cool, intimate show in a small venue filled with just hardcore Sevendust fans. From the moment they hit the stage and ripped into 'Black', they absolutely killed it. The fans went nuts and it was an awesome show. You understand exactly what Kroeger is saying once you see Sevendust live.
I've always loved the simplicity of their song writing and structure. They have an amazing sound, heavy as fuck and brutal, but with as little as possible, musically. That is actually very hard to pull off. Just look at the classic example of 'Smoke on the Water'. It takes real talent to make a hit out of three notes like that.
I saw them for the first time two weeks ago and was one of the best shows ever
@@Acidmaggot99 if it was the Animosity tour that was a good show. Nonpoint being there was a plus
@@PeterJDYoung they're gonna be with nonpoint and ill nino in on December 28th so that's cool.
Lajon has not aged like AT ALL and literally the coolest dude in the genre I want to see them before they retire
Animosity was the first album I was able to buy from them. That album holds a special place in my heart. Love Sevendust, and always will. 🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘.
New Album coming?! Fucking A Right!!!!!!
You and me both, my guy.
I had the pleasure of seeing sevendust with Korn and disturbed in Hershey Pa 2011. One of the best shows I have ever been to
My FAVORITE BAND!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I've had the pleasure, of meeting LJ in person. In Hollywood, as well as seeing Sevendust live in my Hometown. 🔥🔥🙏🏾 One of my favorite bands, love the humbleness of the band members.
Just seen them for the 3rd time last weekend in New Orleans Oct 1 2022. Holy crap better than ever. Best live band period.
Thier live shows are truly magic
Let’s hope Nickelback takes Sevendust on tour especially in the U.K 🇬🇧🤘🏼
No way. Nickelback sucks. 7ds better off going on tour with A7X
@@dwalksstories807 Nickelback are one of the tightest live bands on the planet. A7X are one of my favs but haven’t done anything in years.
@@grogu1986 Tightest live bands on the planet? Lol ok then. I wouldn't be so doubtful if I were you. A7X plans to release an new album in early next year.
Lajon is such an underrated vocalist. still toss.on the first few albums every once in a while and their latest album is pretty damn good to. I hope they never retire.
Native GA Boys, love you guys Sevendust
LJ is the man - Happy 50th … can’t wait for the new album!!
50?! Don't look a day over 35
Lajon seems like a great guy and is very underrated if you ask me. His vocals are top notch!
Been crushing on Lajon for 20+ years lol, Happy belated birthday!
Yes,same here.Such a good looking man and so sweet and humble.
Me too. And I'm a straight man lol
Oh, freaking A!!! I had known about Sevendust in middle school, but haven't delved into their music as would like. But, man is it refreshing to see Lajon in this interview as well as stating his appreciation for Nickelback. Happy belated birthday, Lajon!
Literally every album is fire. I would start with Animosity, after that maybe a mix of their discography: Alpha, Cold Day Memory, All I See Is War.
But again, zero wrong answers (except maybe skip self titled debut)
Do not!!!!!!! Get there album!!!! It's like paying to have your lawn mowed 15 times in 10 minutes. Expect nothing new/good. Have a good day 🌈
@@TomKeinert they all suck so I'll recommend that to my dead grandma that died 27 years ago. Have a good day 🌈
Definitely start with Animosity and Seasons. Two of their best albums imo
Both Nickel Back and SevenDust Rock!
A Sevendust Nickelback tour would be awesome IMHO the two bands that got me into rock and metal back in highscool together!! Make it happen lol
LJ is such a wholesome guy
Love that guy! Always positive.
I hate sevendust with all my heart. His name is lajon. We're your helmet at all times and have a good day 🌈
@@tysonhenry37 go listen to creed
@@tysonhenry37 What even is this comment?
I've seen Sevendust twice and they are fucking awesome. They're a band I'll see anytime they're in town.
My favorite band. Them and Pantera are the only bands where I can listen to there whole discography and not skip a track!
Amen 🔥
Does this statement take 80s Pantera into account?
Been a fan since 1999, LJ is one of the nicest guys to meet
Glad to know ow sevendust is not retiring anytime soon. They are a band to behold. I hope to see them love one day
Sevendust has arrived! 😉❤
Seen them in concert twice. Absolutely, my all time favorite band. I'm learning how to play because of them.
I saw Dope, Sevendust, and Black Label Society at the Madison theater in Northern Kentucky and it was such a phenomenal show!!!
Freaking love Lajon.Sevendust is my favorite band ever❤️
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Sevendust live several times now and they crush it every single time!
I live Lajon Witherspoon. Seems like such a good dude.
I’m going to see Sevendust in a couple weeks and I can’t wait to see them.
Love Sevendust! I’d buy a ticket to see Nickelback with Sevendust on the bill!!!
99 got Home cuz of Denial And loved the entire album. Licking Cream- Waffle- All Good.
Nickelback and sevendust on the same TOUR 🤘🎸 PLEASE !!!!!!! 🙏🔥
Yeah, i want this
Lajon is always a good interview and a class act.
After seeing meshugga over the weekend. That's a tough one to follow, seriously a religious experience. I do love me some sevendust and always have a spot in my heart.
My second favorite band I love me some sevendust 🎶🤘🏽😉💜music is life
Love to see seven dust tour with nickelback
Woah, I'm watching this on Oct 3! Happy birthday LJ
Would love to see them live!!
That's pretty cool Chad pays homage to sevendust!
one Band that has been a constant in my life seen them live in my teenage yrs 20s 30s and now 40s there's no better band live
One of my favorite singers of all time.
Sevendust is really one hell of a band. I love them so much, and they're all so talented!
LOVE this band. Sevendust forever.
I've been a huge fan since "Animosity"
I saw Sevendust at LouderThanLife 2021 and they were Awesome‼️
Saw Sevendust a few weeks ago, at the Starland Ballroom in NJ. Love them.
Sevendust is legit one of the top 5 live performance bands I've ever seen. Plus, they're all cool af and Hella down to earth.
Chad is 100 percent right 7dust is amazing. Been my favorite since I heard Black and My Ruin back in 97
I saw them both at Rolling Rock town fair 2002!!! Both bands fucking killed it!!
Always an awesome show.
I'm turning 49 on 25 October and i turn my son to sevendust when black album came out when he was 4 years old do the math, sevendust 4 ever love ya,last time i saw you in fort smith, AR fair
Lajon is such a humble and genuinely kind individual. Not at all the persona you would imagine attached to the term 'Metal'! Sevendust is fucking awesome.
He seems like such a cool dude. I was lucky that I got to see sevendust twice live. Once in colorado and once in Vegas. Good times..
Lajon says: please lets get an arena tour together! lol
They are my favorite band. I wish they go back to Johnny k one more time (cold day memory). That album was amazing.
Just got to know the Band Sevendust trough the magazin Rocks. I was so impressed by this article, the first thing I did was asking my sister for her headphones (were sitting in the train) and we listened both to their new song Everything. OMG, Just awsome. She pushed directly the Favourite Button after the first Chorus xD. They're so awsome. Really nice music. I love it❤! Looking foreward for some shows in germany. \m/ And a tour with Nickelback would be also very nice. I guess if my sister heres about this combo, she is going to be crazy xD
Oh yeah! The Music is awesome!!🤘❤️ i'm the sister hahaha👀😂
I have seen them 4 times and I agree; they are a force on stage
❤️❤️❤️ I love you sevendust❤️ please come to Michigan ❤️❤️❤️
Happy early Birthday Lajon! Seen you guys a couple times when you came to St. Louis, always a killer show! I kinda snuck along the side of the stage after the show when you guys were packin up and we must've talked for 5 minutes before the venue started bitchin.
Love all of your albums bro and your voice will never be multiplied just like the great Mike Patton! Peace and Love bro!
Timeless music! Still kicking major ass ❤❤❤❤
Hell yeah
Oh come on...yea...go on tour together...Nickelback OPENS for SEVENDUST!
Happy belated birthday Lajon
Nickelback bring sevendust to the UK I love both your bands
A lot of have known what sevendust is for years...I'm an 80's metalhead and LJ just got that thing in his voice.. hopefully new music till I'm gone🤟
I've seen them live numerous times. Even got drunk with them at a meet and greet years ago lol. They were surprised that I knew as much as I did about them, including the fact that they went by Crawlspace before becoming Sevendust in their early days back in Georgia.
Lajon Still looks great. Sevendust are such great guys. And Nicklebacks debut album still holds weight. It was and still is a great album.
Love sevendust!!!
Dude LJ and the band has been a constant band in the old school 90s/00s “nu” metal genre that I can always go back to and rock out to no matter when. Hope they can get in the road with a big band like nickelback. Give 7D their roses
Sevendust was the first live band I ever saw, Warped tour 1997. Eminem went on after them and they were both amazing.
I'm sorry for your permanent brain damage. Have a good day 🌈
That's a kick ass 1st concert!
@@meatwax It was cool. But when Pennywise were playing I got trampled. Literally eight people were on top of me and I was on the bottom. Couldn’t move for like 2 minutes. Scared TF out of me.
Bro yes! Nothing More is a powerhouse live!!
LJ is so gracious!
Let Em Know Fam!!!!!
I saw Sevendust a couple weeks ago and I can say hands down it was the BEST concert I've ever been to and I've seen KISS twice. Sevendust RULES!!
Also, no hate to KISS, they rock of course!!
Great interview. Love Nickelback and Sevendust
I came across these guys by accident, I'm guessing in the 90s at a block party in ellicott city maryland.
Damn, what a cool dude. I remember when they came on the scene and absolutely blew my mind with "Too Close to Hate". Called up the radio station and had to sing a few bars for them to identify the artist they had just played. They fucked up and thought I was referring to Limp Bizkit's "Faith". 😂
I don't think LJ know how big his voice is. He has alot power coming out there.
Funniest tour was seeing everyone leave after Gwar and seeing maybe 2 dozen people stay for Cradle of Filth. Only like 6 people were into them, they didn't play well (far removed from Midian and earlier). Also seeing Godhead before a different Gwar show, they tried to use stage props like mannequins and were pelted with coins.
Sevendust Kicks Ass‼️‼️
Solid guy
Sevendust is amazing 🔥
Well Done!
They have much to be proud of.
LJ never needs to worry about needing to "capture" anything after any band, he's one of the greatest performers of our time.
I love Sevendust one of my fav NÜ Metal
Sevendust shows are so unlike any other heavy music concert. They drop the angry/tough guy schtick and just seem like they are having fun the whole time.
Would love to see sevendust, defines, and korn in one concert
I f#%king love Lajon. His voice is insanely powerful, his skills as a musician are extraordinary, yet he seems so incredibly humble and down to earth. You wouldn't know that you're sitting next to a phenomenal singer and famous rock star if you sat next to him on a bus.
Unless you're a Sevendust fan, of course. I'd be freaking out 😆
SEVENDUST!!!
I love sevendust they are definitely 1 of my favorite bands . The whole band kicks extreme ass and they are badass all I can say is HellYeah .........
Omg he is a Libra too!
LJ is such a class act. And I’ll just say it: Nickelback fucking rules too. Those guys are more metal than most people realize. This was just an all around cool story!
It’s true….. one of the most powerful bands I’ve seen live. Only once unfortunately. They never seem to tour here in Europe
And this guy looks 25….. not 50 !!!
