I remember I was about 9 or 10 years old, it was my second concert, it was seven dust acoustic, Lajon said “it’s great to see all these people I grew up with, but it’s even better to see these people who grew up with us”. Then Lajon Pointed at me and invited me on stage with him, he gave me a guitar pick and a water bottle, my mom drank the water bottle.-. But I still have the pick. It’s by far one of the best days in my life.

[@SrDeMaFp]

That's fucking amazing! They're good people! Hung out with Lajon and Morgan YEARS ago at a show in NYC. Super cool guys!

[@FBIAgent-lq8vd]

deadass i went to school with his kid at one point. Super cool guy.

[@samantha_hill_123]

THATS THE COOLEST THING EVER!?!?!?! OMGGG my first concert was sevendust this year I'm 14 they are so amazing I wanna meet them so badd

[@rockboy360]

This guy is the lord of the riffs, Sevendust has always had the sickest riffs and grooves in the nu metal genre.

One of the best live bands you'll ever see. Sevendust kicks so much Ass. If you haven't seen them live you need to

[@slave2tyranny]

First time I saw them was in '98. I met them after the show. Great guys! Great band!

[@Beyond-Antares]

Clint Lowery should have his own youtube channel. It'd be amazing to learn about how the album home was written.

[@aprild9577]

He does have his own channel. He doesn't talk on it but he's played on it and his solo album is on it

[@MrShitfire420]

Animosity guitar tone is still one of my favorite guitar tones.

[@commentmaster_666]

Totally!!!

[@Eyeyamgod]

Kill the flaw has that animosity tone with a little more mids.

[@Relentless_lel]

Still one of my favourite records of 7d

[@j800r_aswell]

Terminator is a fuckin awesome track. It's awesome to discover it's the first riff he ever even brought to the band. Sevendust were ok without Clint. They're only truly Sevendust when they're with him however. The blend of his vocals with LJ's along with his leads are a massive part of the band.

[@systematic11]

I still love all 3 albums without him. In fact, I find VII criminally underrated. That being said, it only feels right when he’s in the band. It’s perfect with him there.

[@BiggyTalls93]

Clint Lowery is a damn Guitar Hero for me, has been for about 15 years since my uncle gave me the Best of Sevendust compilation they put out just after NEXT came out. His riffs, his voice, his attitude, all he has to offer, definitely influenced me to start playing guitar too. Can't believe it's been 10 years since he returned to the band and gave us COLD DAY MEMORY, some of his and the band's best work to date and still my favorite record of theirs. EVERY album they put out is mint, all killer no filler action. Will always love the 7Bros, for life!

[@fblmusic7058]

hands down my favorite rock band of all time. Clint Lowery is a beast. The best don't have to sweep. #micdrop

[@randydubin7118]

That's because they are mediocre songwriters at best.

[@losferwords100]

@@randydubin7118 lol dude, you're delusional

[@randydubin7118]

@@losferwords100 LOL! It's must be nice to be fans of a band that approximately 95% of their songs and lyrics are about the same exact thing (i.e. FAKE ANGER), and, on top of that, they don't usually talk about what their fake anger songs are about, only enhancing their claim as the kings of fake anger aggro metal. And to think, there are much better bands, both musically and songwriting wise, that has fallen by the wayside over the last 20-some odd years, while this repetitive, one-note metal band (if you want to call them that) writes the same exact songs over and over and over again....

[@juzzie]

So good.. Clint you’re a legend!

[@rowdystaudi]

Clint's riffs stand out. Some of my absolute favorite metal riifs/grooves!

[@robpratt7444]

Clint is the MAN! I didn't want this to end. 7DUST has arrived!

I saw Sevendust at the Wrecking Room in Atlanta in the early 90s. Amazing show!

[@themchannel853]

Clint is one of my favorite guitarists of all time and to see him at the same level of arpeggios as I am makes me feel really good lol

Great guitarist. Great person. Great band. Their music has been a blessing for me through out my life

[@travisbunce7334]

Always great to catch these guys when they visit Australia. As it's always a few years between trips, the shows we get are basically greatest hits.

[@ZakkiLowe]

Clint and John are the dudes that made me want to play guitar. So it's cool seeing what sparked the fire for Clint.

[@JohnK-id1zj]

Clint is the coolest!

[@wjveryzer7985]

I always wished they would rerecord the first record completely. I think the songs would translate so much better with modern tech. GREAT video btw clint I LOVE seeing and hearing about this kind of stuff as a player myself.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

It would so damn heavy! That album was heavy in general, but it would kill with modern tech.

[@thinkingjack]

Even just remixing it would make it heavier. But you’re right, I WISH they would re-record it!

[@ronfigg1]

I’ve been a fan since day 1! I’ve seen you guys dozens of times, mostly in Vegas!! Awesome band, awesome people, always cool when you meet them! Always kill it live!!!!!! I miss The Huntridge Theater shows!! There was an epic New Year’s Eve show there back in the day!

[@4dmind]

I first met Clint in Kentucky at the Toy Tiger when he was playing with his first major band, Still Rain. (Still Rain still rocks). You guys played "Cut Through The Bullshit" and people weren't paying attention, so, Donnie got riled up and did a rather amusing crowd survey, and then you guys played Cut Through the Bullshit again at half speed. Through all the years of Still Rain, the thing that amazed me most was the guitar tone and the tight precision. You still rock man, and I own everything all of you have ever produced - Still Rain, Dark New Day, Doubledrive (which is AMAZING) and Sevendust of course.

[@bigloaded8324]

Ahhhhhh! The Memories! Toy Tiger was the best music venue around. Those were amazing times watching Still Rain & Mouth Piece.

[@robertb67]

Yeah, Still Rain was a very good band. Him and his brother were role models for a lot of us local guitar and bass players. Heck, when his band Still Rain played in our hometown at a rock club named "The Flaming Mug", all the hot girls from town went there. I want to thank Clint and his band Still Rain for helping me get laid back then lol. My ex-girlfriend lived right up the street from Clint and Corey, in the same neighborhood. Fun times. I can't believe how fast time flies by.

[@Death.Co.]

I saw them there also, such a great band.

[@uncledaybkk]

1) I LOVE Sevendust! These guys are number one to me- ever since my aunt's then boyfriend introduced me to the band back in early 2000 with Home, I've followed the band. These guys are awesome- a bonus is that they're all awesome guys too- the kind I'd like to hang out with. 2) Terminator is one of their classic yet underrated hits. That riff is badass! Loves it!!

[@IrvSauce]

Guys like Clint are fascinating to me. They got to grow up in the times where technique was king. But they took that mindset, and shifted it to what we have now over the span of decades. And here we are: in a place where, yes, you must have technique. But tasteful playing(or SOUL) is now king.

[@rustyshackleford3884]

This guy is the real deal, Sevendust is a powerful live band.

[@leroyhatfield6669]

That was great Clint! Loved it!

[@DocRaunchy]

I like how he talks about taking favourite Parts or chords and put them into own songs. That´s what you call influence. I sometimes had Riffs, chords or even longer chord progressions that I unknowingly adapted in own tracks and it took me 20 years or more to suddenly hear the influence it came from. And as long nobody complainted back at its creation, it is okay in my book.

[@Quinnemey]

I remember when Black came out but I wasn't into the heaver stuff yet. When Denial hit there wasn't a speaker attached to a cone that year😂
