@@quinceykirkland1227 went to a Creed concert once just to see Sevendust! They were opening for them, some creed fan spit on him, he stopped the show, and they kicked him out.
Oh man.. One of my favorite bands. Too Close To Hate, Bitch, Waffle, Trust, Angel's Son, Enemy, Praise, Decay... I can go on and on. Their new single Fence from their upcoming Album Truthkiller absolutely rips too. And yes, they're incredible live.
Lajon is a really cool down to earth guy. Met him in 99 he was so chill. We came 5 hours early and he saw us first and came up to us and offered us beers and even smoked with us. I ended up giving him a ride to a club called trees after the show in Dallas. Coolest guy from a metal band I’ve ever met.
@@quinceykirkland1227 agreed. He saw we were fans and we were at the venue before anyone. He came up up and said hi asked us if we wanted a beer. Got to watch them do sound check and took Lajon and the drummer to Trees after the show. Unreal experience
@@mikemaas9944 lol, he surprised us. We found a cool shady spot to stand and we were talking about the show and we heard agreement behind us and bam... There he was. He talked to us for at least 20 mins. He was down to earth and obviously has great taste in music.
I opened for them a few years back and they were all the nicest dudes. They watched our whole soundcheck and talked to us for a while after. Most bigger bands would just hide in the van but they took the time to chill with us
I managed a mid sized concert venue (1500 seats) back in the late 90's, and Sevendust rolled through several times, these guys were on every tour, working their asses off. Amazing band and even better people, the whole band was super good to my staff and their fans, and absolutely CRUSHED it on stage. They have a big catalog, and still putting out great music and kicking ass onstage.
I just saw them with nonpoint this last september in an 800 person venue. I have been a fan of both bands for over 20 yrs and both bands that night blew me away. I have seen both many times over the years but definately even better over time.
I can actually vouch for that. Me & an old friend met them in Charlotte, N.C and we got to meet them before their set. Very down to earth! Kick ass band!
Sevendust is so underrated, it is sad. Great band, and the guys are amazing people who are always happy to talk to the fans and hang out after the shows.
So true! Had the honor of meeting /hanging with them way back in 99-00... Kindest, chillest dudes ever. Offered me a seat before I realized who they were. Ended up with passes to watch the rest of the bands from back stage just for being chill.
@@NickTheSheep1379 Same happened with me and a few friends. We went to the show, broke and could not get in, but it was a small theater so standing outside you could still easily hear the show. My friends and I went across the street to get drinks at Subway before the show started and the band just happened to come in after us. We all started talking, they found out we did not have the money to get in and they were so nice to us, they took us in with them backstage and got us into the venue for free. Great guys who went far above and beyond for a group of kids they did not even know.
Lajon Witherspoon is a force of nature on vocals. Ive seen a music video for Black and they come through the crowd to the stage. High energy. First 2 Sevendust albums are flawless
Your initial reaction is spot on. Sevendust is criminally underrated.Take my advice and go see them live. Arguably one of the best live shows I've seen.
He's singing about racism and the feeling of being different in a genre that he's "not supposed to be in." This is real, unencumbered emotion and healing being expressed in song. It's why it doesn't matter if you like the delivery. We ALL can relate to the content and the passion. It's beautiful and what brought me into the fold in 1997. The entire catalog is as personal and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your reaction to one of my favorite songs ever!
Sevendust is one of my favorite bands. I didn't even know Lajon Witherspoon was black for the longest. Just like the band Straight Line Stitch lead singer is a black female. Alexis Brown is very rare and awesome in this genre.
It does my heart good to see Sevendust getting love and recognition. They are easily one of the most underrated and hardest working bands out there. They are also probably the nicest guys in rock/metal and put on one of the best shows (I lost count of how many times I've seen them, but it's at least 13). Some of their other songs you should check out are Face to Face, Praise, Denial, Alpha, and Enemy.
were u even paying attention back then? lol everyone knew some Sevendust song, even chicks who didnt like rock/metal music i knew were singing along to their chill stuff. They were HUGE, just never sold out. Big diff
Its not that they werent known its just that so many bandwagoners jumped on the “tool” and maralinmanson hard rock. I always liked seven dust and i am not overly into hard rock. This music has soul. Would love to see lajon w pod
When the initial Sevendust album was released in 1997 I was hooked! The entire thing was on repeat for me for several years, I got sober on 11/11/1998 and it helped me get through some tough times in early sobriety. I'm still sober today and I still remember those early years and how this album helped to fight the pain & my demons! Their vibe is unreal in the realest sense possible I'm so happy that you were turned onto them, More from this Album please!
It's my favorite album of theirs too, I've been listening to it so much in these past few years. I enjoy their Self-titled record so much that I even learned how to play the whole record on guitar
This song is one of my favorite songs and that is a lot from me. i played this when I went through my divorce working out in the gym like a mad man. It gave me sooo much motivation. It hit home like no other song. I don't think most people know the talent of this band.
Sevendust is certainly a guilty pleasure from my youth. Lajon has a pretty distinctive and appealing sound to his voice. The first 3 albums are littered with bangers. Home, Animosity, and Seasons. The music isn't as complicated as TooL and doesn't maintain that almost 100% success rate track by track, but in those first 3 albums, you won't find too many misses.
I know it's likely just an oversight, but seasons is the fourth album. You left out their self titled debut. Which has some great great tunes. Specifically the one being reviewed in this video itself.
I had this same reaction first hearing this song in 1998 in high school. The early days of Sevendust, Deftones, Korn, Godsmack, Coal chamber, Soul FLy, Snot, etc., they got me through a lot. The song "Angels' son" by Sevendust had a great deal of meaning to me and is recommended highly.
It's not everyday you get to actually meet members of your favorite bands. What's even more rare is to meet them and they end up exceeding your expectations. I met L.J. and the guys 3 times since their 2nd album. Most wholesome, cool guys ever. It stuck with me and I support everything they do since then.
I live in Atlanta and I’ve known Morgan (drummer) for years. I’ve seen them more than twenty times all over the country. Great guys all around. They are so connected with their fans it’s amazing to see. By far one of the best live bands hands down. Their stage energy is second to none.
Sevendust is just the best. Legends, all of them. Still going strong after decades of writing and touring. They’ve got staying power for a reason. Lajon’s voice is so soulful and beautiful, which is an incredible contrast to a lot of their instrumentation. I can’t recommend more of them enough. This band has never gotten the respect or attention they deserve. They’re a rabbit hole well worth following. If you like these guys, I bet you’d love the band Nonpoint, too.
I remember the first time I heard that the lead singer was black. I was flabbergasted. That was new to me at the time. We are so blessed that this man loved metal so much that he became the lead singer for one the greatest underrated bands of all time.
I've seen Sevendust so many times I've lost count. They always showed up to play and never had a bad show. They are one of the most respected bands within the industry that never fully went mainstream.
I took my two sons to a festival in Phoenix AZ. Avenge 7X and Korn some others the thing is SevenDust was on one of other small stages. I couldn't believe how good this song was when I first heard it. They rocked their @$$&$ off. Your exactly right, it is up their with the best. Your on it for sure,I'm in it as well.😎
That whole Sevendust album is great start to finish! Its a hidden gem, like The Melvins album Stoner Witch. When you can hear the next song up on the album in your head, you know its an album, not just a collection of songs.
I was in HS. Massive metal head. I remember seeing an ad in a metal magazine for Sevendusts debut album. The ad said "If you like Pantera, check these guys out" or something like that. I bought the CD without hearing a single song from it. One of my finest blind purchases ever.
FINALLY!! You just got Dusted, my brother. Enjoy the ride. And every damn live version is straight fire, even the acoustic version. Yes, you read that correctly 🤘
Such an underrated band as they’ve definitely had some success for sure but I never hear anyone talk about them. They’ve got so many great songs and they’re such a talented band. I was shattered when they canceled their last Australian tour.
Sevendust has been my fav for years, as the years past their styles albums change an evolve but never disappoint Listen to the full home and animosity album those two are my fave
Lajon is such a great vocalist! My favorite Sevendust song/version is "Skeleton Song" from the Double Wide Acoustic set they did a while ago. I also love Christmas Day from that same set. Double Wide is just... easily my favorite acoustic set ever outside of an MTV Unplugged. This band is great, and they've been consistantly active since the mid 90's. This song is from 97, and they never stopped. Easily the most consistant band of the era. Enjoy the rabbit hole! :D
I met the singer, Lajon Witherspoon, at theTattoo the Earth tour in Milwaukee back in 2000. He was stoned as hell, but a really nice dude. I've seen Sevendust at least 8 times live and they are just amazing.
A great band I have seen live many times. Fan friendly, great energy, and has never disappointed. Agree with many comments you should check out more! "Bitch", "Waffle", "Face to Face", and "Enemy"
There's several great live performances of this, one of my favorites is the Guitar Center vid, more of an unplugged acoustic version. Lajon's vocals are insanely good!
Lajon was originally in an R&B band before Sevendust. You can hear it every now and then, but his voice for rock is absolutely amazing. Sevendust is such a great band all around. Morgan is a monster of a drummer too
Glad you did Sevendust... My brother is decent friends with the lead singer Lajon. I've met him several times. Got to stand in the wings and watch them perform at Ozzfest years ago. Another good one from them is (pardon the title)... Bitch. Same as Black.. Slow build up to high energy crescendo
Sing it Lajon!!! The truth! Polo with follow!!! Good live version you say? 100's of them. Sevendust tours more than almost everyone. 25 friggin years. I heard this on a local video channel in a hotel room in Jacksonville back in 1997 and I was done. Coolest dudes ever.
This is awesome my man!!! This is my favorite band. Been listening since their album home came out. Finally after 24 years I’m gonna see them. It’s awesome seeing how much someone else is enjoying these guys like I do.
Glad you found these guys!!! A great group of fellas as well. I've known them since the early 90's, when they were coming together in the Atlanta music scene. Crawlspace, Mouthpiece, Still Rain, doubleDrive.... Clint and his brother Corey, John, Vince, Morgan, who is the heart and soul of Sevendust, Lajon, Mike Froege, Donnie Hamby, Troy McLawhorn, Will Hunt.....so many fantastic musicians and bands were coming together to make great music in the Atlanta area in the decade of the 90's. It was a great time for rock music in the A-town for sure. Tool will far and away always be my favorite band, but Sevendust is right up there with AIC to round out my top three. 7D has a great catalog of music and younare always guaranteed a great show if you get the chance to see them live. Check out their acoustic set 'Southside Double Wide" they recorded at the Georgia Theater in Athens. I was there and it was a great show as always!
Sevendust is possibly the most feloniously underrated band of our time. They have never, not once, released a sub-par song or album, and their catalog is HUGE. They never stop making music, it all sounds unique, unlike any other band on the planet… and even though they’re a big name, they still don’t get the attention they truly deserve.
I'm so glad you reacted to Sevendust. This album was the first album I heard from them and it is amazing. The singer vocal arrangement is spectacular ❤
Been a minute since I've listened to Sevendust, great band! Used to blast THIS song in particular in the car and headbang with my daughter ha, who is 34 now!
I saw this band live before I was even old enough to buy a beer. Felt the energy in the crowd. I have and will make it to every sevendust concert in my area. 20+ years and these dudes are still rocking hard AF!!
Thank you for reminding me how good these guys were. I grew up listening to them, tool and so many other great bands at that time, I was definitely so spoiled that it was easy to forget or take the music for granted but I remember this went hard
This song came out when I was 14… I just turned 40 this year. I still jump around like a little kid when I want to listen to a badass song! The lyrics about prejudices and hate still make the song an emotional experience as well.
Sevendust is such a good band. They deserve so much more than they get right now. The Acoustic version they did Live in Athens of this song is so damn good too! You should absolutely check it out! Lajon Witherspoon is actually one of my favorite singers of all time as well. His voice is just so full of power and energy. AND they're one of the best bands to see live. The band is just a group of guys that are GREAT people man. Lajon is such a cool and nice guy. Look into him and Sevendust, you won't regret it, I swear you won't.
Sevendust is an AMAZING live band and they have a great catalog. Please dive into them and enjoy it all! Lead singer is Lajon Witherspoon and the beast of a drummer is Morgan Rose. They are all phenomenal!
I am from Atlanta, the hometown of this band and I have seen them twice. One full on thrash concert and one acoustic concert. They are awesome and extremely underrated. And plus they are good dudes! After the acoustic show they're hung out on the street talkin to different fans. At one point they even brought their kids on stage while there were singing there acoustic show. If I remember correctly the drummer is or was married to the bass player of a perfect circle
Sevendust is one of the absolute greatest live bands I've ever seen! Their energy is unmatched. I'm Tool army also, but this is a different type of metal!
I remember my bassist bringing this album to a show we were playing at the time; back in the day. It was Huge. We were instantly hooked. We ended up becoming friends w/ them and doing shows with them in Atlanta. Good times….
SEVENDUST RULES. I’ve seen them so many times live it used to be a favorite pastime of mine to see them at House of blues in Orlando on New Year’s Eve… It’s an experience that you will never get enough of, and I’ve gotten my ass beat and beaten, many peoples ass in the mosh pit at their shows, and, it’s one of my favorite concert experiences in life. Plus I’ve met them a couple times and they are really nice guys on top of being incredible musicians and live performers. Can’t say enough about this band. Fucking LOVE THEM. 😈🤘🏼
I really like Sevendust -- went through a period in the 00's where I listened to them a lot. Saw them live once and can say one of the best live shows I've seen from a pure performance standpoint, and,....I've seen a lot of live shows.
Sevendust was the first metal band I ever saw live and it was life changing. I was only 14-15 and went with my brother, sister-in-law, and a few friends at an extremely small club in Johnson City, TN.
@@jamesdavisjr6937 that's awesome. Was it around 2002-2003? I cant remember who else played at the moment. I saw Devildriver, Straight Line Stitch, Napalm Death, 36 Crazyfists, and Invitro at Ground Zero around 2007. Great show and really cool venue.
Glad you liked this so much. Sevendust are one of my favorites. I think you should do "Home" by them next. Then one of their mellower tunes " Angel's Son". Enjoy the deep dive.

I discovered them around 25 years ago with this song at 1am driving home from a party. The energy they bring live is fantastic.
The drummer is in the ballpark with Danny Carey. He also is the Sevendust backup singer.
Glad you got to dip into their catalog! They have more albums than Tool, so there is a ton of options with Sevendust.
At least do the song "Praise" in the near future, please please please 🙏
You would love killswitch engage
SEVENDUST… a criminally underrated band, I can’t wait for you to delve into the back catalog 🤘🏻
I've seen them live 7 times and can't wait to see them again. One of the best bands that not enough people know of...
ive seen them in concert three times and they bring it every-time!!
@@quinceykirkland1227 went to a Creed concert once just to see Sevendust! They were opening for them, some creed fan spit on him, he stopped the show, and they kicked him out.
David, I wanted to like your comment, but is at 69😂
He's doing exactly that.. this is literally the first song they released
Oh man.. One of my favorite bands. Too Close To Hate, Bitch, Waffle, Trust, Angel's Son, Enemy, Praise, Decay... I can go on and on. Their new single Fence from their upcoming Album Truthkiller absolutely rips too. And yes, they're incredible live.
the new single "fence" ...music video ...is so fn awesome.
You forgot Story of your Life
You'd have to basically name every song....
I was about to say Angel's son. Masterpiece right there.
Yep these songs in this order. Was about to comment this lol.
Lajon is a really cool down to earth guy. Met him in 99 he was so chill. We came 5 hours early and he saw us first and came up to us and offered us beers and even smoked with us.

Yes, yes, more Sevendust!
Very true! I've met them after a show. Great guys.
I'm 42 and I watched this band as a teenager. They were so hot in the 90s.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
I discovered Sevendust in 1998. I was 30.
Even then, so very underrated.
Lajon Witherspoon is a force of nature on vocals. Ive seen a music video for Black and they come through the crowd to the stage. High energy. First 2 Sevendust albums are flawless

Highly recommend these Sevendust songs: 'Denial'... 'Praise'... "Angel's son"... 'Enemy'... 'Live again'... 'Prayer'... 'Waffle'... 'Driven'... 'Dirty'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Agreeed…
Waffle ftw
Nice solid selection Sumon 👌
Can't argue with any of those

SEVENDUST is absolutely phenomenal live! Some of the best concerts I've been to had them in the lineup!
Sevendust has a very amazing and underrated discography. They are also so very good live.

Not a guilty pleasure. Quality
Been to tons of concerts over the years and Sevendust is one of the top live bands I've seen. Lajon is a great front man.

A great band I have seen live many times. Fan friendly, great energy, and has never disappointed. Agree with many comments you should check out more! "Bitch", "Waffle", "Face to Face", and "Enemy"
Dirty, Live again, Forever, Unraveling, Thank you… so many to choose from. This is a great band with a long history and a great set of talented dudes!
There's several great live performances of this, one of my favorites is the Guitar Center vid, more of an unplugged acoustic version. Lajon's vocals are insanely good!
Lajon was originally in an R&B band before Sevendust. You can hear it every now and then, but his voice for rock is absolutely amazing. Sevendust is such a great band all around. Morgan is a monster of a drummer too
This is one of my favorite songs of all time 🖤 You gotta do Bitch! Lajon has one of my favorite voices too.
I go to there concert every time they are in town. They are an incredible live band.
Glad you reacted to this. In my buymeacoffee from April 5th has Sevendust Denial, hope you can get to it. Lajon is amazing live as well!
Glad you did Sevendust... My brother is decent friends with the lead singer Lajon. I've met him several times. Got to stand in the wings and watch them perform at Ozzfest years ago. Another good one from them is (pardon the title)... Bitch. Same as Black.. Slow build up to high energy crescendo
Gee I wonder lol
Jokes aside, Sevendust slaps. Check out Denial, Enemy, Waffle, and Praise. Waffle and Praise being my favorites
Yeah, this is one of my favorite riffs ever. They absolutely kill it live.
I think you'd like the band Stabbing Westward
I was thinking Gravity Kills.
I was thinking Stuck Mojo
Been a Sevendust fan my whole life. Happy to see you digging their music. Denial is a great song I think you may also like.
I feel like you’d like some Static X since you like this so much. They have a lot of really awesome tracks
"wisconsin death trip", for what it is, is a damn near perfect album
Ya gotta go see them in concert! I’ve been to 8 of their shows and every single one was perfection!! Awesome energy and they sound amazing!
Polo. Google an image of Sevendust for a nice surprise
Sing it Lajon!!! The truth! Polo with follow!!! Good live version you say? 100's of them. Sevendust tours more than almost everyone. 25 friggin years. I heard this on a local video channel in a hotel room in Jacksonville back in 1997 and I was done. Coolest dudes ever.
This is awesome my man!!! This is my favorite band. Been listening since their album home came out. Finally after 24 years I’m gonna see them. It’s awesome seeing how much someone else is enjoying these guys like I do.
Back in the day I was 29. I'm 57 and there's still nothing like heavy soul filled hitters! Grawwww!!!
Excellent band with a diverse catalog. They evolved over the years in so many great ways. Amazing live as well.
Glad you found these guys!!! A great group of fellas as well. I've known them since the early 90's, when they were coming together in the Atlanta music scene. Crawlspace, Mouthpiece, Still Rain, doubleDrive.... Clint and his brother Corey, John, Vince, Morgan, who is the heart and soul of Sevendust, Lajon, Mike Froege, Donnie Hamby, Troy McLawhorn, Will Hunt.....so many fantastic musicians and bands were coming together to make great music in the Atlanta area in the decade of the 90's. It was a great time for rock music in the A-town for sure.
Tool will far and away always be my favorite band, but Sevendust is right up there with AIC to round out my top three. 7D has a great catalog of music and younare always guaranteed a great show if you get the chance to see them live. Check out their acoustic set 'Southside Double Wide" they recorded at the Georgia Theater in Athens. I was there and it was a great show as always!
Sevendust is possibly the most feloniously underrated band of our time. They have never, not once, released a sub-par song or album, and their catalog is HUGE. They never stop making music, it all sounds unique, unlike any other band on the planet… and even though they’re a big name, they still don’t get the attention they truly deserve.
You my friend have stumbled upon another great band. Welcome to your Sevendust journey.
Easily my favorite song of all time. Such a banger and I love playing this song on the drums.
This song is amazing live too.
I'm so glad you reacted to Sevendust. This album was the first album I heard from them and it is amazing. The singer vocal arrangement is spectacular ❤
Been a minute since I've listened to Sevendust, great band! Used to blast THIS song in particular in the car and headbang with my daughter ha, who is 34 now!
I saw this band live before I was even old enough to buy a beer. Felt the energy in the crowd. I have and will make it to every sevendust concert in my area. 20+ years and these dudes are still rocking hard AF!!
Been rocking to these guys since for 23 years, LOVE THEM!!!!
Thank you for reminding me how good these guys were. I grew up listening to them, tool and so many other great bands at that time, I was definitely so spoiled that it was easy to forget or take the music for granted but I remember this went hard
I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time. It just blew me away. This song is still in my playlist rotation.
I saw Sevendust at Warped Tour '99. They are even more amazing live!! One of my favorite bands.
sevendust saw them at my 1st concert when i was 15 and saw them 7 more times they are awesome live. especially this record
This song came out when I was 14… I just turned 40 this year. I still jump around like a little kid when I want to listen to a badass song! The lyrics about prejudices and hate still make the song an emotional experience as well.
One of my favorite songs! I love Sevendust. So damn awesome!
Don't sleep on @Sevendust. They are so underrated. Been a fan for a long time. They are one of my favorite bands.
You’re in for a treat. Sevendust has SO many damn good songs.
One of my favorite bands of all time…been with them since the beginning and actually going to see them this weekend…
Our hype music for my high school football games in the late 90’s. ❤😎👍🏼👊🏼
Sevendust is such a good band. They deserve so much more than they get right now.
The Acoustic version they did Live in Athens of this song is so damn good too! You should absolutely check it out!
Lajon Witherspoon is actually one of my favorite singers of all time as well. His voice is just so full of power and energy.
AND they're one of the best bands to see live. The band is just a group of guys that are GREAT people man. Lajon is such a cool and nice guy. Look into him and Sevendust, you won't regret it, I swear you won't.
Live and acoustic, Sevendust "Black" at Guitar Center - blown away by that performance - legit and so relevant.
My good friends, my old band opened for them 5 different times, we never got big, but it was awesome to make friends like these dudes!!!
Sevendust is an AMAZING live band and they have a great catalog. Please dive into them and enjoy it all! Lead singer is Lajon Witherspoon and the beast of a drummer is Morgan Rose. They are all phenomenal!
I've been listening to this song since the late 90s and I still get the same reaction that you have here.
One of the best live bands I have ever seen, and all of them are genuinely good guys that make fans feel like they care about them.
I am from Atlanta, the hometown of this band and I have seen them twice. One full on thrash concert and one acoustic concert. They are awesome and extremely underrated. And plus they are good dudes! After the acoustic show they're hung out on the street talkin to different fans. At one point they even brought their kids on stage while there were singing there acoustic show. If I remember correctly the drummer is or was married to the bass player of a perfect circle
Sevendust has been a stapel of the metal community since they came on the scene. Glad you like it. Their live performances are even better.
First time this song came on in the car in 1997, I literally turned the car around and went to the record store and bought the CD. Amazing band.
Sevendust is one of the absolute greatest live bands I've ever seen! Their energy is unmatched. I'm Tool army also, but this is a different type of metal!
Lajon has a great soulful voice that can also pull off these kinds of aggressive vocals too. I love Sevendust!
I remember my bassist bringing this album to a show we were playing at the time; back in the day. It was Huge. We were instantly hooked. We ended up becoming friends w/ them and doing shows with them in Atlanta. Good times….
YES...listening to this song brings me right back to being 17 again! I'm 43 now and it's still on regular rotation on my Spotify playlist!
Great live band. Seen them many times, and they seem like good guys too, very down to earth vibes from them.
SEVENDUST RULES. I’ve seen them so many times live it used to be a favorite pastime of mine to see them at House of blues in Orlando on New Year’s Eve… It’s an experience that you will never get enough of, and I’ve gotten my ass beat and beaten, many peoples ass in the mosh pit at their shows, and, it’s one of my favorite concert experiences in life. Plus I’ve met them a couple times and they are really nice guys on top of being incredible musicians and live performers. Can’t say enough about this band. Fucking LOVE THEM. 😈🤘🏼
One of my all-time favorites! Just saw them 2 weeks ago and they were amazing as always!
These guys are at their best live. DEFINITELY find their live versions. Their live appearances on late night shows never disappoint.
I really like Sevendust -- went through a period in the 00's where I listened to them a lot. Saw them live once and can say one of the best live shows I've seen from a pure performance standpoint, and,....I've seen a lot of live shows.
Sevendust was the first metal band I ever saw live and it was life changing. I was only 14-15 and went with my brother, sister-in-law, and a few friends at an extremely small club in Johnson City, TN.
I saw them at ground zero in spartanburg sc on that tour
@@jamesdavisjr6937 that's awesome. Was it around 2002-2003? I cant remember who else played at the moment. I saw Devildriver, Straight Line Stitch, Napalm Death, 36 Crazyfists, and Invitro at Ground Zero around 2007. Great show and really cool venue.
@@trowabarton222 would've been maybe mid 90s
Glad you liked this so much. Sevendust are one of my favorites. I think you should do "Home" by them next. Then one of their mellower tunes " Angel's Son". Enjoy the deep dive.
Sevendust creates album after album of amazing music. Black is the tip of the iceberg.
