Sevendust - Black (with Lyrics)

[@Razor_36]

Went to Norcross high school with Lajon way before Sevendust of course around '87/'89. He was always writing lyrics and singing in the hallways trying to find his own style. We worked out together in weight training class back then and he was a trip. The growling strong voice we hear today was a style only he could produce back then. He was hilarious in school and a lot of people didn't take him seriously but I always did because he was passionate about music and loved metal. Well done Lajon. Well done.

[@tafnextgenentertainment7196]

Thats pretty darn cool! My parents used to live near one of Creed's band members, the would hear their jam sessions all the time. They never really got to know them, but they did get their album "My Own Prison" from them.

Hell yeah me too brother! 40 years old and going to be 41 in December 2021. I remember even buying the VHS 📼 to this album and it flipped up like a cigarette box it was so Kewl. Blessings My friend! Sincerely Jonesy of Ruidoso NM and Tulsa Oklahoma 🌞

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

Thats epic man, thanks for sharing \m/

[@anthonychavez356]

Not only is Lajon incredibly talented he's also one of the most kindhearted and legit good dudes ever. Met him once in KC where he lives now could not have been cooler.

[@nebulousone1994]

That riff is addictive af, still.

[@duanedurns8282]

Just grabs a hold of you!

[@blkfocusdriver]

I've been a sevendust fan from the first time I heard this song on the radio. Yea....I'm that old

[@KeepitMETAL]

Me too haha i seen em way back then at an all day concert - first album was the best imo - peace out ✌

[@tafnextgenentertainment7196]

Bro I'm 17, and i used to rock out to this all the time! Those were good times.

[@haydeislearnstogrow2204]

My dad raised me on sevendust and now I’m raising my daughter on sevendust.

[@blkfocusdriver]

[@dustinthewind3817]

Goosebumps everytime i listen to this awesome song.

[@Candaceshanaluv]

He didn't sell his soul ! Facts! It's makes sense why they didn't put him higher...God had a greater purpose for him , sounds like sevendust won . My favorite 😍

[@zacharyrussell4644]

He said " I'm minding my own business .. I ain't doing NOTHING wrong..." Hits different everytime I hear it..

[@lesnash6953]

For anyone here born after 2000... I bought this in a music store, on cassette, right after it was released.

[@randsp3c709]

Was it a single, remember those lol

[@scottyj.2561]

Now this is the good stuff from SEVENDUST....the first 2 or 3 records. This shit blew me away back in the day, when I heard it....VINTAGE HARD ROCK...sj~13 #BLACK 97'

[@loganwarren6697]

Scott Ludwig did an amazing job on this music video.

[@adan2374]

Damn Lajon Witherspoon has got a VOICE...I love the way he sings this track...very powerful lyrics too this song really displays some raw heartfelt emotion...respect for sevendust all the way

[@mosbyjackson6895]

I met these guys in Columbia South Carolina in a bar in 2004 or 2005 never heard of them. Great guys... they were playing pool, and I had the privilege of shaking Lajohns hand as he sat at the bar and enjoyed his drink. First heard this song in 2011 @nd I was fl00red...been listening every since!!

[@martinhazle8123]

Damn, it gives me goosebumps just hearing that power come from his soul!

[@untouchablenes]

Chills every time I hear the opener! LOVE this song!

[@sofagirrl]

The summer of 98' soundtrack for me.

[@albertevans645]

They can damn sure throw down...Long live SD.

[@moxstoleyoursocks2241]

Getting into metal for the first time. Mom got me tickets to see Sevendust. Time to learn the songs.

[@raccoonpeddler6730]

this is hands down one of the most meaningful songs i have ever heard

[@Michael-dm5fq]

Many concerts , lots of rock in my day ,but this tune is by far one of the most badass!!!!

[@sanchzilla477]

I always picture the lead singer as Booker T in my head...

[@raijin6918]

SanchZilla Can you dig it? SACKAAAA!!!

[@GenX1972]

The summer of 98. Dont remember much, but i was minding my own business

[@lxxl8795]

Still gives me chills to this day!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ love Lajon

[@kevinjohnson1607]

What an awesome song. I forgot how much I love Sevendust.

[@Bloomr09]

One of their best they ever did! When these guys first came out I was a fan right away. Truly one of the best bands out there!

[@TwentyOneBunSalute]

I heard this song on the radio 11 years ago, managed to find this video. Forgot the song. Rediscovered this song elsewhere years ago, and only now just revisiting this video, suspecting it may actually be the song I heard that day. As soon as the blue flames and writing appeared it was like a rubber band finally releasing, it all snapped together.

[@mrswilliamstoyou3325]

When I'm running I listen to this song and it helps me feel my anger and it pushes me through right to the next song. I love this song.

[@j5m1v8g]

Courtney Williams It’s on my running playlist, too!!

[@stridelighter]

Is the next song Praise?

[@garyblanchard8570]

And still I hear ladies dislike hard rock........

[@aishamarquez211]

That next song for me is Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

[@georgeclark2128]

This is my favorite song by seven dust great band

[@starlettrawlings5596]

I've loved these guys since I think I was 11 or 12 years old. You should go see them when they come to G.R. at the.end of April.

[@SuperMel81-j5l]

My 5 month old loves this song. :-)

[@timchurchvara6746]

Saw sevendust at royal oak music theatre in michigan may 11th of this year. The venue holds 1700 people max. What a great live band. They sound better than the studio albums. They played a few songs off of all i see is war. Then they played enemy, that place lit up!!!. They played about an hour after all that. They left stage, came back and played this song, place got live as fuck!!! Then they played face to face and shit was off the hook. I have been a sevendust fan for 22 years. 1st time seeing them live. I am addicted to sevendust more than ever. Black had me hooked since the first time i hears it, and all this time later, just like the first time i heard it. Awesome.

[@CLE4LIFE420]

Morgan rose is a god. His style on the drums imo is so unique. 💯💯

[@MrDownslider]

This song never gets old!!! Love it

[@emorales6296]

Greatness, HELL YEAH!! SEVENDUST!!!!!! GREAT BAND!! Dude these guys have a shit load of awesome songs! Catch them everytime they make their way to Dallas Texas.. Hell Yeah!!!

[@TonyTee79]

That's a f'n cool ass video, probably my favorite homemade music video that I've ever seen.

[@lovingeveryminuteofit3362]

Love these guys.....the passion in their music is what makes me feel the way I do about their music.....personal connection is what it's all about...

[@edgawrysjr]

One of the best guitar riffs of all time

[@jabbarmuhammad8804]

One of my favorite bands of all time

[@jamesavery6671]

I listened to seven dust in my child hood and iam now 28 years old lol. These guys are probably gettin Grey's now. This band never caught on sadly it seems but I always thought they were awesome

[@matthewcarlin1787]

Same here dude I remember listening to these dudes on the radio when I was 12. Always loved em

[@zeroninejames9507]

3am getting off work from midnight shift ups Phx,Az driving home hearing this on the radio. Damn been so long ago, seems like yesterday. Memories linger on. Hell yeah.

[@davidelliott4442]

I seen these guys in Milwaukee, they kicked ass.

[@gunnerduke61]

3:51 was pure genius!

[@sparky062002]

a band playing a triplet sequence?? Sorry to break the news to ya, it's common enough.

[@reyp5323]

sparky062002, dont be such a know it all. Its unattractive. Im sure he was just referring to the timing and placement of that breakdown and how smoothly it transitioned into the outro.....and overall how badass it sounded in general..... and i tend to agree :)

[@nichoaus3070]

Sparkly ​@@sparky062002, chillin? Minding your own business?

[@nathanheaverlo9626]

I first heard this song way back in my childhood in 1998, and it’s stuck with me ever since. My dad would always crank up the volume, I do too. Roll the windows down, crank up this song to the max, remind kids these days what real music is 😎

[@MrJimmyRivers]

This has got to be the best song ever!

[@aishamarquez211]

Too bad nobody was saying that 8 or 10 years ago you know what I'm saying

[@determined919]

"You say you want to be like me, well boy let me tell you, you dont what I've seen" Too true

[@davidr.t529]

This song is just impossibly heavy. Is there a heavier guitar/bass track out there? Insane, even 15+ years after I first heard it.

[@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245]

I know what you mean, even death metal rarely gets this heavy even though it's more technical and faster than heavy metal. Awake by Godsmack especially the bridge section and Dig by Mudvayne come close, but this song is the heaviest thing i've ever heard as well that doesn't sound like garbage. I'd call this pure Heavy Metal.

[@thunderhorse6666]

@@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245 oh just get out here with that nonsense! Heaviest thing you've ever hear. Maybe try turning off sesame street for a moment and lookup Behemoth Demigod and you'll be enlightened
