THE STORY OF SEETHER | (2002-2017)

Tohle není rozhovor. Tohle je příběh kapely. Seether patří mezi nejvýraznější tváře stylu post-grunge, který na přelomu milénia ovládl zámořskou alternativně rockovou scénu a vygeneroval pro ni jména jako Shinedown, Creed, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down nebo Staind. Zatímco většina z nich stihla během let nenávratně zmizet v propadlišti dějin, Seether jsou stále při síle a na konci září poctili Českou republiku hned dvěma koncerty - před tím prvním, který proběhl 29.9.2017 v pražském Lucerna Music Baru, poskytli zpěvák Shaun Morgan a baskytarista Dale Stewart Metalshop TV tento exkluzivní vhled do jejich mnohdy trnité historie, poznamenané nekompetentními producenty, pocitem odcizení i rozmary chamtivého vydavatelství, v jehož područí museli nuceně vytrvat dlouhých 12 let. Nakonec má ale tento příběh, zdá se, přece jenom šťastný konec...
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a story of Seether. Seether is a South African post-grunge band, part of alternative rock renaissance in early 2000s which generated bands such as Shinedown, Creed, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down or Staind. While many others have fallen along the way, Seether are still going strong with two sold-out shows in Czech Republic in September 2017. Metalshop TV sat down with singer Shaun Morgan and bass guitarist Dale Stewart in Prague to talk about their complicated past which suffered from lack of producers' interest and greedy record label - both holding them back from following their creative goals and visions. After all the struggle in their past, it seems like Seether are marching towards better days now...

[@danielavaladez2246]

What a wonderful old times , grungy boy🖤

[@Ojthemighty]

Nothing hipster about him

[@richardunger3396]

I totally agree with the guys here. I would love to hear the remix versions from Shaun's point of view ,please rock on for years to come Seether.

[@Stephanie-zw5ff]

God I love them... their voices.. their sound.. everything... beautiful..

[@MichelleRutledge-c5e]

Greatest band ever

[@deathlist94]

This is one of the funniest , interesting , and honest interviews I have seen. Props to Metalshop.

[@morganmiddaugh2554]

Shaun's eligance is just Beautiful 😂

[@amandastevens2426]

He is real and raw. That is beautiful

[@Niloy63]

One of the best interviews I've seen. Love these guys and their brutal honesty!

[@IXAIAX]

Amazing interview!!! totally loved it, great to hear the band´s history told by themselves...Seether is my favorite band

[@METALSHOPTV]

thanks! stay tuned for more! :)

[@IXAIAX]

Yeah!!!

[@bulsky3552]

It is funny to hear that the band doesnt like any of their albums xD

[@IXAIAX]

They hate the producers, I think they like their music a little more heavy...mmm still love them =)

[@garrettrussell4434]

One of my childhood bands im about to be 17 in October

[@phyfts]

Very underrated band. They simply suffer from the uncoolness of other bands in the genre.

[@Amradye]

Puts Unedited and Uncensored stickers on Shaun’s forehead. “Ok, go.” 🤣 Love this guy.

[@maxpalmer3212]

I love seether I’ve been listening to them a lot lately I’ve seen seether live and there amazing I’ve been a seether fan for a long time

[@maxpalmer3212]

I love disclaimer ll it’s one of my favorite seether albums

[@barbwireca]

Just caught this! What a road that was you traveled. It is awesome that you produce your songs now, Shaun. The heavier the better for me, and your lyrics are the best! Seether will always rock my world! 🤘🏼❤️

[@LegitHawkz]

Drinking game: Take a shot for every time Shaun wipes his beard

[@nick3718]

I don’t wanna fall into an alcohol-induced coma so I’ll pass.

[@twb7691]

I think you will succumb to alcohol poisoning five minutes into that game.

[@danmcalester1716]

It’s an anxiety thing believe it or not, I do it all the time too apparently according to people I’m around 😂

[@VioletFlame-f3g]

I love what serious musicians they are and layed back same time, same as Bush, the smashing pumpkins, I find this highly comforting and inspiring. Makes me feel music has not be perfect, just survive, to be like yeah, whatever, this could have been better is so cool.

[@bulsky3552]

What he said about Holding Onto String Better Left To Fray is exaclty what i think about this album. It is good album but it should be heavier. It is interesting to hear what the band think about their own work.

[@illustrate303]

Bulsky exactly. Not saying they are not still solid but they still haven’t captured that raw energy they had on Karma and Disclaimer where they were a real heavy rock band. That’s my Seether. I know bands evolve but still wish they would get a little heavier again cuz Shawn has this raw scream that no one else quite sounds like

[@DavidS-kz7ik]

@@illustrate303 : Poison The Parish is their heaviest album to date and their new songs that just came out are heavy too. In theory, they're actually getting heavier.

[@illustrate303]

David S some songs yes. But put in Karma and Effect and it’s a banger from the start w the first song. Then put in Poison and it’s just not as full and I’m mainly talking instrumental wise. Guitars are just way heavier on Karma and Poison just a little more poppy rhythm sounding guitar parts that are little more quiet and Shawn screams on like every song on Karma except the gift and maybe one other. Don’t get me wrong I think Poison is their best since Karma I really like it, wish more of it was like the heavy parts in betray and degrade but I realize that’s just my opinion

[@amandastevens2426]

I will love your songs forever

[@trevorscharnick-vlok32]

Just stood in Mosselbay at the Punt ...we miss you guys!!!!

[@filmo4965]

Dobré interview. Konečně my ty rozdíly mezi alby dávají smysl. Byl jsem na ně v Brně a byla to pecka!!!

[@billybrookes3887]

I've been drinking and I was staring at my Schecter 006 deluxe and ended up down a seethe rabbit hole. Dale makes a great mic stand. I still have no idea how we're friends on Facebook, probably because of drinking also

[@ViteloElyos]

That was a fantastic interview! Thanks!

[@danielavaladez2246]

Shaun talks so fast 😂 I love this pretty boy 🖤

[@richardaaron4252]

I fucking love seether!! Got to see them live which was the experience of a lifetime.

[@tintoweno]

Shaun talks pretty fast xD love the way he destroyed their first producer

[@Alex-wt9nf]

Damn, 19:06 someone was cracking the hell up loud lol. 😂 Good interview.

[@malienfury372]

I agree with Shaun. I think the album has the best sound over all of them. He should definitely produce the next one also. Really wish there was an “Official Video” for “Stoke The Fire”. Probably is my favorite song to date.

[@ashleytheriot9154]

Omg, I loved this!!! 🤘😜🤘👊🥰❤

[@johanburger6109]

Nice to see Morgan shooting the shit and speaking so openly. Honesty needs to come back into music nowadays. Good to see so far down the road that he still has his head screwed on

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Shaun has a really nice singing voice. He seems like a nice dude.

[@propertoke420rep4]

Those dudes seem knowledgeable n extremely experienced in the music business on some funniest stories

[@pk9580]

Super interview, dobrá práca korej!

[@philineschneider1496]

I Love seether your Post is my live i Love all about this Band i hope they are bring more Musik in the Future

[@milanseliga5816]

Skvelá práca \m/

[@METALSHOPTV]

Díky! :)

[@alibiforchaos4352]

That's why the best bet with being a musician is building your own studio and having someone mix your music my father has been recording and mixing music since the 70s he can record and use reel to reel not alot of people do that anymore cut out the middle man tour yourself book shows make shirts if you do sigh to label make sure it's under your terms..

[@ythinder]

I. Love. Seether.

[@whimsicalwolf6958]

I LOVE IT

[@maxpalmer3212]

Two bands I will always love is godsmack and seether

[@savetheearth4390]

Bahaha Pinky out So proper 😘 Love Tea And strong opinions. Hell ya. 💃

[@jamestaylor6824]

Is it me or does Shawn’s face look like a white ice cube - the rapper

[@thekrevolution]

take a breath shaun, dale couldnt get a word out lol

[@jarodthejimnast5918]

Lol Shaun looks like he about to go into an artsy af teashop and order a double vanilla gluten free frappolapozizzychino with vegan whip cream

[@alexiarodriguez5974]

I love that Shaun dont give a fuck.

[@CircleofShit]

Had no idea they were South African! Awesome. Thought they were American as I never really looked into Seethers members but loved their music. Weird aye?

[@aidanmcgowan6173]

Love the "jawing" lol im on that level

[@dinauchiha3924]

I HAVENT CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST

[@CNTheMonster18]

I kinda wanna see them go back and make the old albums heavier

[@rodneypearcy8399]

I'm not really sure how the industry works but I'm wondering why they can't produce their own stuff. I know other bands have done it and it might save Shaun and the rest of the band all the headache and stress from shitty producers.

[@Bulsky]

now they produce their own albums but it demands owning studio and a lot of money, probably they cant afford it back then and dont have experience and skill for that and when you hear this big producers name wants to work with you it changes everything

[@darrenthetuber743]

Bob Marlette is only useful in reviving old comatose bands, he did the same for Lynyrd Skynyd but they didn't seem to care

[@tammyrocheleau6975]

I Lovs You Shaun! Because you're just fucking REAL!!! KEEP IT REAL!! IT'S HOOOOTT! 💋❤👊💥💋

[@illustrate303]

What did he say about writing Remedy? Can’t tell if he said, “wish I never wrote that song ” or “I wish I could write that song again” can’t tell if he meant he hates the son cuz it got so big and was tired of playing it or if he wishes he could write another hit song like that again. I’m just curious

[@aaronbusby3752]

He said that he wished he could write that song again. Seether don't seem to care too much about having music that blows up, they seem to care more about making music that is true to themselves and what they enjoy. Popularity doesn't seem to come into it for them. And if it did, they would more than likely promote Rise Above Fest or actual good rock music, which are both worthy causes.

[@Minidopminidopminidop3311]

anyone knows the name of that producer? just to put in my KOS list.

[@weddingwiththewhitedove]

South African guys that have perfected electric progression in riffs xchorus

[@papa_jeans4571]

Tbh I prefer Shaun with the South African accent, because it’s cool and SA don’t get enough love for music

[@luxaross]

Intro song?

[@waynesworld4372]

So now it makes sense why strings and the next album didn't sound like seether.

[@Seether-jt6mo]

19:14 suffer it all? I thought it was pretty heavy when I first heard it

[@rodneypearcy8399]

It might be a bit out of left field but the might consider working with Fred Durst he is a good producer. I think it could possibly work.

[@DavidS-kz7ik]

I think they should work with Terry Date. He's produced, engineered and mixed alot of great albums. He's worked with Pantera, Slayer, Soundgarden, Deftones, Staind, Unearth, Dream Theater, Limp Bizkit. So many others. I think he woukd fit perfect with Seether.

[@Cptidris]

He's a funny dude.

[@zacherydippenaar8524]

Youknowwotahmean?

[@pierreswanepoel8561]

South Africans,. Much Viking

[@JessicaMunn]

Lol I've never seen Shaun so animated, zero fucks given 😂

[@dgb921]

Well those albums and singles made you a lot of money so yea

[@brandonsawdey4040]

For them to be as big as they are with all the bullshit they went through is amazing but it makes sense as to why they are lowballed in terms of recognition for being good they don't get the recognition because of those issue an thek calling those people out its messed up they got treated that way but alot of other musicians need to pay attention its 2020 yall have examples of who to not work with please be smart its a shame that bands like seether get short sticked they are just really lucky to still be where they are despite all they've said but its all things that need to be said kinda like Dave Chappelle an unforgivin

[@jday380]

Every interview I see with Shaun you can see his distaste for the media so clearly. It's fucking hilarious. EDIT: Scratch media, it's stupidity as a whole he just cannot stand.

[@METALSHOPTV]

He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met, lol

[@jday380]

METALSHOP i never said he wasn’t nice. I’m just saying he doesn’t like bullshit and makes it very known lol

[@Jackaljr02]

Hell yeah 2002

[@bw6138]

What language is this in the subtitles?

[@taliesine.8343]

Czech

[@maxpalmer3212]

If I were a producer I would be in the studio from day one

[@darrenthetuber743]

Howard Benson is band aid hack, He's essentially exsists to make radio singles for rock bands who can't write a hit

[@martygibsonsr5150]

I've always been a huge Seether fan, but they need to get back to the disclaimer sound they started with in the beginning they have gotten way too soft for my liking, but I'll always love them

[@firstname-lastname2838]

I didn’t know they were British

[@ingloriousbetch4302]

They're not. They're South African

[@hiimwaynko-4987]

How are they fucking South African?

[@maxpalmer3212]

I have a top 50 list for seether

[@robertmercer5759]

Shawn messing with his nose as much as he was look like he was coked up lol

[@DARKMETAL31]

LOL

[@MAADMAAC]

How much cocke snorf Seethler before going on this interwiev xDD Have a coffee only for camouflage this is stupid

[@metalmusicspedup]

MAADMAAC For English, press 1.

[@Niloy63]
