SEVENDUST Lajon Witherspoon Watches YouTube Vocal Covers | MetalSucks

[@alinovakoski]

A few months later and I still catch myself revisiting this video. Such a surreal moment being a part of this awesome experience!!

[@TrillaDilla410]

I'm watching it a year later just to see his reactions. Forgot about yours, it was cool.😚

[@towertito2149]

You deff killed it girl. Im in south jersey outside philly . A drummer with a few good axe players. We can jam anytime. Js.

[@dryan1387]

Your singing slays me ☺ one of the best parts of that video

[@carlacarlacarlacarla5235]

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.”

[@fpaltenhoff86]

Well I’m definitely gonna follow you and subscribe. I’ve got a couple bass covers over on one of my channels that I need to get back into doing and some vocal covers

[@JayShockblast]

I've seen Sevendust 30 times and met them most of those times and they never stopped being amazing. The best dudes. My favorite band ever. Lajon is the man.

[@CarlosAlfonsoRamirezHernandez]

You say the same in ever song of sevendust brudah! 🤘🏼😂

[@ryangardocki6247]

Do they come out after there shows

[@bw9980]

@@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.

[@JeffHesterDesigns]

The range of ages in the Sevendust audience is a testament to their musical legacy. LJ always humble too.

[@KennethBrownComics]

Jeff Hester took the words right out of my mouth

[@liamsweeney972]

Very well said! Everyone in the business seems to respect them. These guys absolutely blow up the stage at each show and yet are totally down to earth dudes 30 mins later hangin by the bus. Love these guys

[@wits692]

Sooo true!!! Saw them for the twenty something time in February and there were twenty year Olds, teens.. Younger lol

[@salina_y]

I’m a 16 year old girl who likes chill music more than anything🤷🏽‍♀️ But what they create is actually pretty appealing to me! Love Sevendust!!

[@Idfkleavemealone420]

It’s because they’ve been consistent throughout their whole career

[@kapnkool]

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.

[@jakejones4513]

LJ is literally the coolest dude. He knows almost everyone. Can't wait to see them again!

[@BurningBeard22]

Nicest dude in music! Smoked a blunt with him at a show back in '99 as we watched Slayer perform.

I saw them once down here in louisiana, they played in vinton out of all places we were lined up out the door of some kind of cowboy bar lol.... and we moshed like crazy in that place

[@erikhenson5315]

I was very humbled to find out that I was included in this. LJ, thanks so much for your kind words. You have been a true inspiration to me for quite a long while. This just continues to prove how amazing of a dude you are.

Dude your vocals are amazing. Are you in a band?

Bro you were awesome

[@Galispapi]

Nicest and most down to earth rockers! 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.

[@AlexCruz-mv1gj]

Dudes seem legit and all around good people. I've seen them about 4 times and love these dudes. I would have loved to have seen Trust Company. I heard those dudes on a local college radio station one summer and got instantly hooked.

[@amandarose4373]

@@AlexCruz-mv1gj Man Trust Co was amazing...the singer didn't like to perform though so they broke up. Too bad they didn't last I would have loved to see a Sevendust Trust Co show.

[@rawwbnoles4787]

What a fucking great guy. I love how he knew who some of the people were via social media. I've seen Sevendust several times and they brought it every single time. Love their music, but I love his humbleness.

[@zealobiron]

That kind of blew me away too. Love imagining him not being able to resist singing along due to his humbleness. Somewhat being uncomfortable still, hearing his own work.

[@BDW31983]

Lajon is such a likeable person. Loved his music for the past 20 years.

Sevendust has one of the best song catelogs in rock. Hands down.

Totally! Still weirds me out thinking of him actually being pissed and wanting to kick Jerry Cantrell’s ass that time when they toured.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

People like him are what make the metal community great. I find most metal heads are the nicest people around. I’m glad to be part of that when I go to shows. Much love everyone.

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Metal had many cycles, but not many bands are around and kicking from Sevendust's era. Most of the music hasn't aged well, but Sevendust and also LJ's lyrics have both aged like a smooth whisky. What a majestic progression throughout their career!

[@coletricklejr.7083]

Wesley Thibodeau Well said!

[@EFFeCTED18]

Best comment I've read. Well said mate.

[@thetruth4654]

I mean Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park(Atleast before Chester died) System of a Down, Chevelle, Sevendust, Limb Bizkit, Drowning Pool and so on are all still active so clearly some of the music must have aged well since majority of these bands have been going on for 20 years or close too it.

[@jacinto1477]

@@thetruth4654 ngl,most of the bands you mentioned have aged so bad,especially korn and limp bizkit(and i really like both these bands)

Lajon is one of the most down to earth musicians out there. Respect.

[@longdongg3884]

Dude it's awesome how LJ doesn't act pompous or inflated he so down to earth and he actually appreciates the people's efforts that they put in on the videos and that's an awesome quality that he has you can tell he's real down to earth person not self-absorbed and a non douchebag

[@aprild9577]

LJ is awesome and has the best memory. My boyfriend and I did the meet and greet this year and LJ remembered my boyfriend from the last time he went to their show back in 2002. My boyfriend gave them a t-shirt with Layne and Lynne on it that said Angels sons on it. It totally blew us away that he recognized him after all that time. The whole band is a great bunch of guys

[@ericdahlman9997]

That’s one thing that really makes Sevendust stand out, how humble they are. Half of the videos they showed him, he had already seen, and followed the people and had more info to say about them. “...they’re married now congrats” etc. How many artists/bands can you say would’ve had that reaction? Not many I’ll tell you that much. LJ is the man

[@Retrorevelations]

I met Lejon and the rest of the band at a concert in my town back in 2002. Hella nice guy, shorter than I expected somehow. He gave me a hug. I actually somehow caught a drumstick at the end of the show, and I got the whole band to sign it, plus each member took a pic with me and my buds. Great guys, great band. great live show.

[@longdongg3884]

A big salute to LJ for complimenting these young people for their efforts

[@joshuaamerson2365]

What I love most about it is you recognize your fans and appreciate their spin. We met at the hard Rock Cafe in Florida on new year's Eve at a god smack and grumpy concert. I talked with Morgan for mabe 10 minutes on the steps out front. Every time I saw sevendust they were the best set and 20 years later I'm still disturbing my neighbors with their works of art!

[@MikiMash08]

Honestly such a humble, talented and spiritual being. Privileged to have been blessed with his voice in our world. 🤟🏽

[@ct5625]

How have I only just seen this? I always thought Lajon was a really nice guy and not just an excellent vocalist and this only confirms that. You can always spot the good ones when they take time to show the fans some love.

[@jaycue7641]

LJ is always such a class act! He really seems like he not only loves what he does, but he’s honored that so many people like his band as well. Sevendust is still kicking ass!

[@Donovan.Creamer]

So humble. Most singers would hate on people who didn’t absolutely impress them but he found something positive to say about everyone’s cover. This is a true rock star.

Can confirm LJ being a super down to earth, approachable, humble and nice dude. Met him way back in 98 at Ozzfest, along with Clint and Morgan. All the Sevendust guys are super nice.

[@thommyjacobs8921]

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.

[@montychristo86]

Sevendust was one of my first introductions to metal all the way back in 99! Almost 20 years later, I still love this totally underrated band, including Lajon.

How can someone that is so famous and talented be so humble, nice and just plain awesome? I’ve been a huge fan since 99. I love Sevendust so much. Their music has got me through some difficult times. They still kick so much ass to this day. Thank you (pun intended 😜) Lajon and crew. 😎❤️🙏🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸

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
