      How gratifying for Ali and the rest of the covers included here. It was particularly touching to watch her reaction in the midst of LJ listening to her.
      I confess, as the video began I grumbled to myself, “I suspect he won’t listen to any covers by women.”

      @@ryangardocki6247 I haven't seen them in many years, but they used to anyway. I remember in like 99 or '00 at Bogarts in Cincy I walked across the street after the show with Cilnt and LJ and went to this little patio thing where someone was playing acoustic guitar to some patrons. Clint and LJ borrowed the dude's acoustic guitar and did a rendition of Edie Brickell's "What I am". Some of the most humble guys I've known.

    A lot of people have stated this here, but Sevendust are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I met Lajon at a studio where our band was practicing. Sevendust was rehearsing to do "Angel's Son" on Letterman. Ran into Lajon in the hall and told him what a huge fan I was. I asked if he could come into our studio to say hello to the rest of the band. HE DID and spoke to us in for quite a bit in a manner that was so kind and humble. The fact that he took the time out to hang when he was still rehearsing for a major television show just blew my mind. I have never forgotten that moment. I hope they thrive for the rest of their careers, they deserve it.

    Had a great story. In 2003, My girlfriend and I drove to Ft. Myers to see Sevendust and Trust Company. The show was sold out when we got there. In desperation, I walked to the tour bus in the back of Neptune’s(the Venue at the time) Morgan and Lajon opened the door to the bus.
    They asked me how come we weren’t in the club? I said the show is sold out. We drove all the way from Miami.
    Lajon and Morgan we’re both nice enough to usher us backstage into the crowd to see the show. Will never forget it.

      Blackdragon6 - sorry for the late comment. I just watched this vid. The whole band is. Those 5 guy's musical backgrounds are so wide, diverse & beautiful. They're musicians in the full sense of the word. True story - I've met LJ & the guys several times but on one occasion a group of us went back to hang with them on their bus & socialize. At 1 point, 1 of the guys realized there was no music playing & said we gotta have some. When he turned on the bus sound system, instantly the bus was filled with an R&B/Motown/Soul mix. A perfect example to never judge a book by it's cover. It was awesome & a great night.

    I saw 7D with Creed and 3 doors down in Indy and wore a long sleeve black shirt with white tribals on the front back and sleeve. He was wearing a white wife beater with black tribal on the front and we were standing down on the fence next to the ego ramp. Long story short, LJ saw my shirt and pointed at me and then his shirt. Then, Vince came over and threw a pick at my face during Denial. I still have the pick. Couple years later, my band and I saw them in Cinci with Drowning Pool and got to meet them behind the venue. Coolest dudes I've met in a long time. I had them sign my pants since my shirt (same one from the first time) was black, so they all signed the leg. Clint signed it "Jean Claude VanDamme" since I had to do a karate kick to get my leg up to where he could sign it. One of my favorite memories was meeting them. Awesome band, still one of my favorites.

    This video just increases my respect for this band. I work in a gas station, and I've had a few talks with the cheerwine rep about music. Turns out his teen son made friends with the drummer, and gets to chill back stage when he goes to shows. Ya'll are so humble and show so much respect for your fans. Much love and respect!

    Such an underrated singer. And yeah I met the guy too in Montreal when they were touring with Dope in early 2000 and he was the nicest guy. Respect.

    Just catching this for the first time and I just keep thinking how positive and nice he is with his feedback. I met Lajon once in a club on Bourbon St that my band was playing in and he was there hanging out and he was every bit as a good guy in person as he appears to be on here. You're awesome, LJ. Hope to bump into you again sometime.

    There really is nothing better than finding out some of your idols are the most humble and down to earth people and at the same time the bad asses that you envision. Love it.

    I just realized there was one video that got overlooked by a gentlemen named Ean Hurst, he did an incredible "Angel's Son" cover many years ago, like back in the myspace days, but his voice was really unique. Wish LJ could've seen that, I think he would've enjoyed it.

    Nicest guy in rock/metal. Have watched a lot of interviews with LJ and he always seems so humble and kind. All the guys in 7dust do. Have been a fan since Home hit the shelves back in the day. They’ve matured so well as a band, All I See Is War is an absolute masterpiece. My personal favourite since Seasons.

    Saw Sevendust at a funky little dive bar in Spokane, called Ichabods. It’s not there anymore. Before really anyone knew who they were, in ‘98. I’ve seen them 10 times in all. They played the first show ever at the local Knitting Factory, and I believe it was a free show. I met LJ and Morgan at that show because the tour bus sits right outside the backstage door, right off of the busiest street downtown. I was just standing there and LJ came walking out of the bus. I told him I’d seen them play Ichabods and he was completely shocked. He remembered that show, there were only maybe 100 people there max. He’s such a nice guy...very humble and appreciative

    I found Sevendust a yr ago at age 50. Now I listen to them daily it's a great way for me to get the work day started. Between Sevendust, Tool, Pantera, Deftones, and cant forget Korn my Boss love my work ethic and it keeps me in good spirits no matter what the day may offer. Thank you very much!!
