I've been saying for well over a decade that this is the most underrated band ever. They've been creating incredible music and delivering awesome live shows for years and years.
Saw them at Myrtle Beach HOB sometime in the late 90s. My car wouldn't start after the show and I had to call my wife in Charleston to come get me, but at least I had the memory of the tunes in my head to pass the time. Otherwise, it was a great show!
"Not fans, friends and family" This is what Lajon said to me when I met him. I said to him.. "I'm such a huge fan of your music and you are such an amazing singer and I love your new Album Home even better than your Debut" He said.... "You're not a fan, you're my brother, my friend, my family and we don't shake hands" He then showed me a tattoo of a sun he has on his hand which he said represents his fans and how much he loves them and he then proceeded to take my hand and he grasped it instead of shaking it and said this is how brothers shake hands and he hugged me while doing it. It made me feel so welcomed and loved and it made me appreciate his music and words even more. Even thinking about it to this day gives me goosebumps. Not too long after talking to him I was walking by a fence and guess who I saw talking on a cellphone to his GF? MORGAN! He straight up said to Rayna that he had to go because he wanted to say hi to a fan, which was so cool of him. He told me he just got off the phone with her to say hi to me and I said to him, "isn't Coal Chamber supposed to be here today?" He said..... "YEAH! BUT DEZ IS A FUCKING DICK!!!!" I said, "Really, WHY?" He said... 'BECAUSE HE TREATS RAYNA LIKE SHIT!" HHAHAHAHAHA Morgan doesn't give a fuck and it made me die laughing. Both of them were awesome people to meet and would love to meet them again. Love how they are polar opposites of each other.
He's such a great guy. I remember I saw them in Sydney, they were headlining for my friends band Horrorwood Mannequins and after the show I was having a cigarette with the singer of mannequins and I saw Lajon and just dropped everything to run over and say hey. He gave me a massive hug but his security was like "Come on, we gotta go." Was amazing. Didn't expect to meet him let alone him to have time to actually say hey to me. Its one of my best memories.
I pray to meet him some day. I connect with that dude on a vocal level like non-other! My mom passing has a major part in that. Pain brings out so much color.
Travis Riddle - I still remember an album review back in the day by some douchebag at Rolling Stone magazine who basically said they were a subpar knockoff of Godsmack. Can u frickin believe that?? Dude for 1- I wish I could throat punch u. 2- u have no universal idea of what ur talking about. They're 2 COMPLETELY different sounding bands. 3- Sevendust absolutely destroys & wipes the floor with Godsmack. And 4- u FULLY missed the beauty of an amazingly underrated artist of the last two decades. I've never been a reader of Rolling Stone since...
This band is the real deal! Sevendust rocks just as hard acoustic as they do electric. It's cool to have a pit even at the acoustic shows. One of the best bands I've ever had the chance to see.
Witnessed from stage side what some may consider their introduction to the world, AkA, as their legendary Woodstock 99 set. Was working personal security for a performer back stage and he was saying " we got some down time, come with me to check out this band Sevendust."
I disagree for one reason... the acoustic love version of ANGELS SON is a powerhouse song. And the reason behind it really drives that fact home for me
I've seen these guys live 8 times, and the acoustic tour was probably favorite show. went to the ambassador hotel with Vinnie and Morgan after the show and drank til they kicked us out at 3 or 4 am. real down to earth guys that love their craft and truly appreciate the fans that support them.
I saw the acoustic tour at the machineshop in flint MI. I was front row dead center and lj have me the micrograms to sing the chorus for black. Then we hung out and talked for like 20 minutes after the show
Been to at least 15 Sevendust shows, own the Animosity album, South-Side Double Wide Album so I've heard this song tons of times. One of my favs by them. Saw and heard this and my jaw dropped. Unbelievable artists and musicians.
Lajon is a legend. I've had friends tour with him or simply just being fans and never heard a bad thing about him. One of the best singers live Ive ever heard too!
Met and spent time talking to lj at tattoo the earth about 20 years ago and he is probably one of the best people i have ever met in my life humble down to earth incredible singer, spending time with him and Derrick green of sepultura that day was definitely a highlight in my life
I had the privilege of meeting sevendust in Afghanistan in 2008. They were great, and they played a well put together acoustic show. It made my 9 months there not seem as bad.
I started back in 97 n haven’t stopped, Sevendust my favorite band. I seen them the most. No doubt there’s a bunch of other bands, music I luv, like, Sevendust there’s something. I never met them yet seems like we’ve been friends forever, 🤷♂️ as there’s connections to songs but there’s this extra presence with Sevendust I feel. Great song along with many others 🤘
The good people at MetalSucks have an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at an acoustic performance of "Trust" from our recent podcast with Sevendust. www.metalsucks.net/2014/05/23/exclusive-video-premiere-sevendusts-acoustic-performance-trust/
Such an epically great group. From instruments to vocals, this band is just amazing. Can't believe I have been following them for 20 years. Love this band!
I'm not even a huge Sevendust fan, I tend to prefer more Punk and Funk Metal when it comes to the "heavier" music I listen to, so ofc I discovered them because of my Snot fandom and I love their acoustic stuff.....
Hands down most underrated band. All of them together. Not when clint left, you couldn't feel the same music. Thank God he came back. And by the way, clints voice is as underrated as the band itself. His live acoustic version of "hurt" is epic, even though he biffed the words in the last verse 🤣. As a musician, it happens. Sevendust forever, got me through so many hard and happy times
Best live performers I've seen. Hands down. The interaction with the normies before/during/after their set. I've met Lajon several times when bc he will hang in the crowd. I buy tix for headliners sometimes just to see sevendust opening and then leave before the main event. They are THAT good
I just wanted to add my love for this band also. I have been a fan since the first album and have always thought they were one of the best. They continue to make awesome music after all these years.
I hail form the days of 503 concert at the Metro in chicago. Yes, I was one of the 3 extra :) ive loved there music since then. Jay Jay you were awesome to us to kids man.
When I hold my head down to the ground And I wish you were here with me Seems like you're always around I was blind to see Too good to be true you can't stay with me I wish she was all I need And it's getting late. and it's cold outside So cold. so cold I've wronged you And steal everything from the truth Could we find ourselves walking through A field with no solitude The pain goes on Insensitive to all your needs Did you ever want to stay with me Never try to put you down And I never want to see you leave I still can't believe you're going to leave I wish she was all I needed It's getting late and it's cold outside So cold. so cold I've wronged you And steal everything from the truth Could we find ourselves walking through A field with no solitude The pain goes on I've wronged you And steal everything from the truth Could we find ourselves walking through A field with no solitude The pain goes on I've wronged you And steal everything from the truth Could we find ourselves walking through A field with no solitude The pain goes on

ZillaFitness | Chad Pink so true man I've been following them since I saw them open for Kid Rock in 2001. Amazing live band

Hey man, I know this comment is 3 years old but I totally agree.
I discovered this band on Smackdown Vs. Raw ‘07 hearing the song Driven and fell in love with this band, no homo.
agree 100%
Lajon has one of the greatest rock voices in history. This band has never let me down in the 17 years I have been listening to them.
Yup them and The Deftones have stood the test of time for me being a teenager in the late 90's.
@@psycold deftones big overrated now
Period! 💯
Amen to that
"Not fans, friends and family"
This is what Lajon said to me when I met him. I said to him..
"I'm such a huge fan of your music and you are such an amazing singer and I love your new Album Home even better than your Debut"

Not too long after talking to him I was walking by a fence and guess who I saw talking on a cellphone to his GF? MORGAN! He straight up said to Rayna that he had to go because he wanted to say hi to a fan, which was so cool of him. He told me he just got off the phone with her to say hi to me and I said to him, "isn't Coal Chamber supposed to be here today?" He said.....
"YEAH! BUT DEZ IS A FUCKING DICK!!!!"
I said, "Really, WHY?" He said...
'BECAUSE HE TREATS RAYNA LIKE SHIT!"
HHAHAHAHAHA Morgan doesn't give a fuck and it made me die laughing. Both of them were awesome people to meet and would love to meet them again. Love how they are polar opposites of each other.
Very cool story man, thanks for sharing it!
@@StaticImage No problem! Was such a cool day.

Wow
Sevendust definitely deserves the spot they own up there at the top. Lajon's voice is just overwhelmingly amazing.
The most consistent band in all of the metal scene...
😂
@@harlisspotato3865 They are CONSISTENT AF
And still … in 2024
Lajon is one of the nicest dudes ever and an amazing singer
He is an absolute gem of a human being!
@@torrinantifus1 he is the only band member ive met who asked my name. and ive met hundreds of guys from bands
I've heard this before.
LJ best singer ever to touch a mic in metal in my opinion I still dont get why the band is so underrated I don't understand.
Travis Riddle - I still remember an album review back in the day by some douchebag at Rolling Stone magazine who basically said they were a subpar knockoff of Godsmack. Can u frickin believe that??
Dude for 1- I wish I could throat punch u.
2- u have no universal idea of what ur talking about. They're 2 COMPLETELY different sounding bands.
3- Sevendust absolutely destroys & wipes the floor with Godsmack.
And 4- u FULLY missed the beauty of an amazingly underrated artist of the last two decades.
I've never been a reader of Rolling Stone since...
Travis Riddle this isn’t even his best work and he still sounds good but no, he’s got a lot of competition. M. Shadows of A7X might have him beat
Dude, Lajon and Benji Webbe (from skindred) are probably the two best vocalists in metal to date.
7D is the most underrated band in metal. They are amazing!
@@ArnisGoldberg Howard Jones would like a word!
How the hell have 21 people disliked this? Pull your heads in. Seriously. This is perfection.
3:47 - The kind of chills only this band can provide.
"For whatever reason." Because this song's a f'n masterpiece, that's why. \m/
Lajon's still got those pipes man
my favorite version of this. LJs voice gives me absolute chills absolutely beautiful
i think the best of their acoustic ive watched. seen them live twice so good. ft wayne.

Sevendust always kills it.
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard....thank you Vinnie, LJ, John, Clint, and Morgan. You guys have saved my life
I disagree for one reason... the acoustic love version of ANGELS SON is a powerhouse song. And the reason behind it really drives that fact home for me
@@torrinantifus1 you can't disagree with someone if they say they found this song to be the most beautiful what the hell 😂
Best Band That A Lot Of People Haven't Heard Of. Never Disappointed By Anything That Any Member Releases. SEVENDUST! \m/
+Aaron Trapp Heard their new album? Is freaking killer.
I've seen these guys live 8 times, and the acoustic tour was probably favorite show. went to the ambassador hotel with Vinnie and Morgan after the show and drank til they kicked us out at 3 or 4 am. real down to earth guys that love their craft and truly appreciate the fans that support them.
Michael Williams f in lucky!
Michael Williams I had a beer with LJ after a show a couple of years ago...Miller Lite in a can!
I saw the acoustic tour at the machineshop in flint MI. I was front row dead center and lj have me the micrograms to sing the chorus for black. Then we hung out and talked for like 20 minutes after the show
This guy's voice is fucking amazing.
so underated band

Great song by a great band. Trust has been one of my favs for over a decade now.
glad these guys are still around
Been enjoying these men since 99 and now my teenagers jam them with me! Love you guy's!!! My dream is to watch them live 1 day!🤙🏼💯
One of the most beautifull songs of Sevendust! Favorite one!

LJ just gets better as the years go on. These dudes are legends.
Perfect, just perfection.
This song is absolutely beautiful. Lajon writes some of the most beautiful lyrics ever and he really puts everything he has into singing them
Damn. This shit made me cry like a baby....I felt that in my soul.
Was in my early 20's when I discovered Sevendust. At 46 they are still top 5 on my list of favorites. They never disappoint!!
I had the privilege of meeting sevendust in Afghanistan in 2008. They were great, and they played a well put together acoustic show. It made my 9 months there not seem as bad.
I keep coming back to this video! Sevendust is one of the most underrated and consistent rock bands around!
So beautiful... tears listening to this... LJ's voice gives me chills.
Love our brothers Sevendust!!!
I cant describe how much I love this song! And its such an incredible acoustic version!
One of my all time favorite Sevendust songs! I've gotten thru some rough times by blasting this song in the background. Thank you 7D!🤘
I started back in 97 n haven’t stopped, Sevendust my favorite band. I seen them the most. No doubt there’s a bunch of other bands, music I luv, like, Sevendust there’s something.

One of the best acoustic songs of all time and the vocals blow you away.
some kind of perfection! listening & watchin with tears!
This is a timeless, majestic masterpiece by one of the fucking greatest bands ever. It's actually ridiculous how good Sevendust continues to be.
My favorite band for over 20 years
My favourite song from 7D
One of my favorite live songs by one of my favorite live bands.
Lajon's voice sounds amazing on this version. Love these guys
What an amazing album. One of my favorites. I love these guys.
am i the only one who just got a chill up their spine watching this ?
This man's voice is intoxicating!!!😍😍😍😍😍
So weird hearing these without Morgan's awesomeness.
The good people at MetalSucks have an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at an acoustic performance of "Trust" from our recent podcast with Sevendust. www.metalsucks.net/2014/05/23/exclusive-video-premiere-sevendusts-acoustic-performance-trust/
Never heard em before but that is a blinding tune
Sean Saibot lol
Lajon - kickass vocals always never fails ! , respect .
Amazing!!! Glad I got to see these guys live.
This touched me, in my more emotional reflective moments (over a beer) I keep listening to this over an over. Outstanding
First time i hear this guys, they are awesome!
My uncle was the biggest fan. Put me on in the summit apartments in Memphis Tn. He headbanged with them in person. Rest in heaven KENYA
When the song touches our soul. One of the best bands in this world.
one of my favorite sevendust tracks for sure, all versions of it
and the vocals here are on point, great audio
I've seen them live many times. I've never been let down.
God I love this version 😍 gave me chills especially the chorus
2022 and I still come back to this video from time to time. This version put this song on the top of the list of Sevendust favorites!
Much love and respect for these guys. Long live Sevendust!
Absolutely a life long Sevendust fan. Top 3 rock band for me.
Such an epically great group. From instruments to vocals, this band is just amazing. Can't believe I have been following them for 20 years. Love this band!
LJ would be a great "Blues" singer. He puts so much raw feelings and emotions in his singing. BB King would agree!
He actually was gonna be a R&B artist before sevendust as well
I'm not even a huge Sevendust fan, I tend to prefer more Punk and Funk Metal when it comes to the "heavier" music I listen to, so ofc I discovered them because of my Snot fandom and I love their acoustic stuff.....
I would love all the guitar center songs on album, I listen to this version almost every day!
Bravo, Bravo!!! (Stands up and claps hands while his boss looks at him awkardly)
I love the original version of this, but DAMN THIS I S GOOOD!!

Refreshingly good mix on this video. Kudos to Guitar Center's crew for capturing the amazing acoustic sound of Sevendust.
It's like hearing it again for the first time. Great musicians and great people.
Guitar center needs to put on more live performances like this
Amazing as always.
Great song, amazing voice!
What an awesome underrated band. Love from Philippines.
My favorite metal band of all time! Love you guys🤘
Luv the rhythm and melody. 10 outta 10! 👏👏
breathtaking.
Man I loved this album.
The Acoustic Translation sounded Amazing! Good job guys I still love this band.
Love his voice man! Respect
Yes! Sevendust is that good!
Love that intro with those chords ❤️
This a beat acoustic emotional song , the singer voice and the guitar sound is amazing.
I l9ve their acoustic sets.
Voice of an angel
I dont know that it gets any better than this.
When I hold my head down to the ground
And I wish you were here with me
Seems like you're always around
I was blind to see
Too good to be true
you can't stay with me
I wish she was all I need
And it's getting late. and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
Insensitive to all your needs
Did you ever want to stay with me
Never try to put you down
And I never want to see you leave
I still can't believe you're going to leave
I wish she was all I needed
It's getting late and it's cold outside
So cold. so cold
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
I've wronged you
And steal everything from the truth
Could we find ourselves
walking through
A field with no solitude
The pain goes on
Just as cool plugged or unplugged.
Absolutely beautiful, every time i here it. thank you Sevendust.

I have the exact guitar that Lowery is using. Beautiful instrument.
Yep. PRS SE Angelus Standard. Easily the best guitar available for less than $700
Witherspoon and the lads rule. Thanks for the tunes they have got me thru a lot of shit
Just beautiful 🙌
