Seether's Shaun Morgan Doesn't Want to Return to Pre-COVID Tour Cycle

[@vandeich]

He totally deserves everything he worked for, he deserves even more than that. One of the best artists of this generation.

[@vrod665]

Shaun is absolutely one of a kind. Immensely talented, clearly logical, caring to the n’th degree. He actually sees the trees. :) I have the most respect for Shaun’s honesty and candor about struggling to keep it together mentally. Takes balls of steel to admit you know where the edge of your world is and you have been there.

[@SeetherFan666]

Shaun Morgan is one of the best of his generation. Phenomenal songwriter and musician. Huge inspiration for me.

[@brandonstandberry8236]

Seether is very underrated👌🏼

[@maxpalmer3212]

🤨 how ?

[@misterchubbikins]

@@maxpalmer3212 at the height of their popularity they often got overshadowed by bands like Shinedown or Linkin Park. Then when all that nonsense between Shaun and Amy Lee transpired it kinda fractured the shared fanbase and their popularity started to decline. Their talent however, even this many years later does not get nearly as much recognition as they really deserve.

[@maxpalmer3212]

@@misterchubbikins that actually makes sense now that I think about it

[@Alex-wt9nf]

@@misterchubbikins They we’re pretty big and shinedown and evanescence are trash in my opinion. Especially, compared to seether. I think it was their label that wasn’t really backing them. Wind up went through a few changes when they were at their hight. Plus music is always changing what’s popular and what’s not.

Karma and Effect was the first album i bought with my own money. Remedy was the first real song I found that I felt like I liked because I liked it, not because someone told me to like it. Thank you for starting me out on my musical journey.

Seether has been one of my favorite bands in the world for many years and I'm always positive and uplifting on social media!!

[@365daysgone]

What he said about social media is so true. Everyone's lives are soooo sad now. Nobody does anything

[@aliceellsworth5276]

Absolutely the best take on what has been going on with everything in the present day in regards to social media and the pandemic status. Such a true stance on the subject and this was a great interview. Couldn't agree more honestly with him and I am for one glad to see that he is able to take this approach and stick with it instead of cowering down because someone will feel the need to be offended based only on the fact of a difference of opinion, especially with the social agenda. Social media as it stands today is such a vile and disgusting place and is no longer safe or used for the original purpose intended. I have been such a fan of this group and of Shaun and can not wait to see what they accomplish next. Also a big congratulations on the Rock Hall of Fame exhibit. You all deserve it and it is awesome. LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@hollyolsen945]

Seether is in my top 5 Absolutely L♥️VE this guy!!!

[@paladynwiecznegostazuzkraj75]

Seether is one of my favorite bands

[@blackfeather35]

I appreciate Shaun’s honesty about depression and Bi-polar and it’s effects on the person who has it and your family that has to deal with the person that has it. I’m one of those individuals that have battled with it for many years. I’ve had some really dark phases of it-but, playing guitar, writing and music is such beautiful therapy. Seether is another of those underrated rock bands that is extremely talented but don’t get enough recognition. Great interview and I wish you plenty of success Shaun (and the rest of the band). I will be looking out for the edited versions. Love you guys and rock 4 eva🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽

Seether has never peaked my top 10 but I've been getting more and more into them as the years go on and after seeing this video and getting to see what Mr. Morgan is like and his take on the reality of this life has made me like them more and he is definitely a really gifted writer. I love how he articulates things as well and doesn't give in to the social media we are all fed daily... He seems like an awesome guy. Seether really is rising up on my list. Loved this interview as well.

[@jtwilliams8895]

First question, Shaun is still answering it five minutes in. That’s a good interview. Very candid and honest

[@NatashaGraves555]

I remember a long time ago I E-mailed him and he answered my back 💛 I met him in 2009 he was honestly one of the chilliest people I've ever met. He was so nice and down to earth. I wish I could e-mail him now and tell him he is essential to us fans. Seether 4 life

It is crazy how Shaun changed over the years. When I look at Aaron lewis. I think at the start of his career he had the right mindset and as an artist he was crazy but now he is only a 1/4 of the person he used to be (he has probably his reason) but it is crazy. And of all "artists" I follow, Shaun became a wise man maybe because he walked so many times through dark times. As the German Author H. Hesse wrote "Wahrlich, niemand is weise der nicht das dunkle kennt" "Truly, nobody is wise who doesn't know the darkness."
