  • what is the song name from the start??

  • @FrederikTheDrummer

    Deathstar from the album Alpha

  • whats the opening song?

    

  • one of the few killer band to stop by new orleans ALOT on tours.much appreciated!! wish more bands would do the same. the fucking rap scene ruined the new orleans metal crowds.

  • Disruptive member? Clint? She makes it sound like they booted him. I thought he left on his own?

  • @specialross77 I think she's talkin about sonny mayo

  • id pay 30$ for every month!!!

  • lmao I have that rug 1:25 lol

  • look man, 1 $30 is a rediculous amount of money to see an awesome metal band where im from and 2nd labels give money to bands to record those shit hot albums u here on the radio. Without them (sry to say) they r garage pro tools bullshit. You need a decent manager to make sure u arent ripped off!

  • @MrCavey666 It sounds like you don't know shit about the music industry, friend.

  • @metatronsfury oh really? Please enlighten me oh wise one..

  • @MrCavey666 Simply that it just isn't that simple. Sure, good management is vital, but when it comes to life (especially this type of life), things go awry a lot. My Dad is in the music industry. It's easy for things to fuck up.

  • @metatronsfury Yeah that's pretty much all I was saying. Ive been playing in bands for 20yrs and just about to bring out our next album. Also, we've been lucky enough to be signed to a major middle of next year. All im saying is if you have heaps of cash you can get away with doing it yourself but more often then not the label has to help in alot of areas. Theres varying deals out there. Our deal is called a 360 where the label gets a piece of cds, merch, gigs etc. Its a gamble either way.

  • I cant stand the way the music industry is it doesn't make any since that the label takes the ARTIST'S album sales money and are left to strive off touring like WTF!? its their art , their product!

  • sevendust put tvt records on the map then what does tvt do sign lil jon stupid fucks

  • I wish I was old enough to see them tou on the first couple records. I started to see them on the third album.

  • $30 would be awesome these days.

  • I hate the record business...Sevendust busted their asses, make masterpieces, stay dedicated, and stay real..

    They deserve to go down in history as one of the best

  • id give them my whole check just to wash their dishes!

  • I've only seen Sevendust live ONCE. Out of all the concerts I have seen in 30 years, this was one of the best ever. These guys rock and give 110% on stage. Would pay to see them again in a heartbeat.

  • what was the song playing in the background.

  • @bj2thepenn you ignorant fuck he's one of the few good singers in nu metal, i never knew he was black until recently but they still kick fucking ass

  • @bj2thepenn yo fuck u

  • i saw them last month.. great show

  • Clint Lowery = "disruptive member..." THAT is a hoot, my friends...

  • Dude..I would drop $30 a MONTH to go see Sevendust! They are the best band I've ever seen live..their energy is just unreal and they sound like the album. They are amazing. AMAZING!

  • Trent said as well as several others including 7d and that is the industry needs to change, the whole system, artists new and even old established ones can't make money. we as artists need to adapt but work together and skip the corporate middle man once and for all. So I'm currently thinking long and hard about some solutions...personally being at it for a decade making albums and playing on and off bands that ran out of steam because we can't make any money even with quality music n promotion

  • Hey Sevendust - I'm a new fan from just a couple years back. Now my wife is a fan from just last year. You are POWER. I guess I was confused to not see the bald guitarist running around on the last show and that was odd. He brought a lot of energy - but perhaps that was disruptive. I feel for you on the misery of the limelight. We fans get to go home to nice cozy beds and you get a tourbus bumping through the nights... Can't wait for the next show.

  • Did she just call Clint Lowery a "disruptive" member???

  • yea i'm almost certain she did. dumb bitch.

  • Yeah, what a whore. Clint Lowery is like Sevendust's soul. Can't wait for their new album now that Clint is back, though Alpha was freaking awesome.

  • @jfern01 That bitch did didn't she. She can go fucking die right now. Fuck Artisan News. 7dust 4 Life!

  • Yep 7dust is golden. Have you heard the new song Forever Dead? It's pure awesomeness.

  • She was referring to Sonny Mayo I believe. It's just not the same without Clint. Glad to see him back!

  • But Sonny was fucking awesome too.

  • Scooter Ward said it best:

    Kill The Fucking Music Industry.

  • lol, whoa theres a lyric I haven't heard in like 6 years .

  • That does piss me off this killer band sevendust has to work there ass off to get fucked over and basically go bank rupt fuck the music buissness.

  • I'm thinking of trading in my Joey Jordison snare for the Morgan Rose snare drum. Good idea or bad idea?

  • Good idea.

    Morgan's snare amazes me everytime.

  • Yea, I went ahead and traded it in and got his snare. Best idea I've ever had. His snare is THE SHIT.

  • @JohnnyAppleBag6 If you have to ask about this, save your money cause you are a jackass...Unless your 11 years old and still not sure if you should wear girls jeans... Change your heads if you dont like the sound! Dont be a chump.

  • Too late late ya little faggot, I already turned in the snare and got the new one. Plus, you just made yourself look like a dumb ignorant asshole.

  • And even if you said this when I FIRST put that comment here,it wouldn't have changed shit, your opinion means nothing because you are an insignificant little pussy.

  • LJ and 7dust pwnz!!!!!!!

  • who was the disruptive member????

  • Comment removed

  • Clint lol ;)

  • im guessin clint lowery their old guitar player

  • clint lowery is still their guitar player

  • Ive dropped over 2000 bucks seeing them all over.

    And it is worth every penny.

    7dust4life

  • You've dropped over $2,000?! I SALUTE YOU!!

  • @x7dust91x I've lost track of how much money I've dropped to see them and for merchandise and you know what? I'll keep on dropping money for these guys they're worth every dollar nickle dime, quarter and penny

  • holy shit their old record label fucked them over that bad?

  • Musicianship...close to the guy who runs the zipper at the local carnival! I'm a drummer and totally upset of what has happened to our music careers...

  • these guys are one of the few bands in modern music that i think deserve my money

  • D =

    "Why should we pay $30 again to see you again when we just did last month?"

    W.T.F.?! I'D PAY $60 TO SEE THESE GUYS EVERYDAY!!

  • YOURE THE FUCKING MAN!

  • @ShadowoOfBlood You and me both --- they'd be totally worth it.

  • @ShadowoOfBlood lol true i must of seen these guyz almost 15 times since they started touring love em

    ment them 1 time also they are wicked chill me and like 6 of my friends just snuck into the tour bus area and chilled with them they thought it was cool that we snuck into there to see them we need more bands like these guyz nowadays instead katy perry what a whore

  • sucks to hear that from sevendust theyre so awsome hope it picks up =D

  • i fucking hate how business fucks and manager assholes rip off musicians! It pisses me off!  Sevendust is an awesome fucking band and they would be the biggest fucking band in the world if they had honest hardworking people behind them.

  • The song is "Deathstar"

  • Whats the song in the background

  • they fuckin rock. id go see them everyday of the week tehe.

    ROCK ONNN:P

  • who was member they got rid of that was disruptive?

  • they got rid of clint lowery, although now he is back in the band...

    this video is from 2007

  • God that IS sick!! As talented as these guys are that just makes me wanta fuckin puke !!!

    What a killer band!

  • This is just SHOCKINGLY TERRIBLE how a band like this has to live by cutting corners just because the record labels got their fucking share of the green. It's downright disgusting that big recordcompanies policies lead to bands like these in near-bancruptcy. Seriously. The Music Industry is *FUCKED UP*

  • I totally agree MechaAkuma. Despite the fact that Sevendust is incredibly talented, they had to deal with all this shit. Yet, if it's bothering them, they don't let it show. They have sold millions of records worldwide, yet the choose to stay under the radar. Sevendust 4 life :)

  • these fucking people doing the interview and reporters are annoying as shit fuck them

  • shut the fuck up u all are dumb and know nothing about sevendust

  • Lead singers voice is awesome, whats his name?

  • Lajon

  • shweet!!

  • Lajon Witherspoon

  • Lajon Witherspoon my friend does that answer your question lol

  • Get ure asses back Aus, we'll be happy to watch you guys again!!

  • good for them!!!!!!!! tour on their own label. good for them.

  • Their's always gotta be a fan that says "THEY FUCKEN SOLD OUT" I don't think they did, They have stayed Alternative Metal for a while now. They for sure are'nt Nu Metal. Different song structures in nu metal. Also sevendust do not perform just for money. they wanna have some fun instead of sittin around at home livin the normal life. I respect em for that =)

  • I never thought they sold out,they have different sides of them that makes them interesting. Love the first album alot,the rest are badass as well and they are a great live band

  • Play for passion sake is misleading. People who do that have either another job or business that actually pays the bills. On the other hand. Why not tour in the UK or outside US where Sevendust is popular

  • People are so fucking stupid on youtube man!!!!! Did you not hear the narrator? she said that they could either starve their family or tour for money!!! bands need money like any other job in the world. saying they shouuld play for passion (which they do) is like saying that a janitor should clean for the art of cleanliness fucking retards!!!!

  • So how come they tour so much in the States and us UK fans NEVER get to see them?!! Its not fair.

  • airplanes cost money to i guess? sorry mate

  • You know you should give them a break and yeah, they play beacause they love their fans and for some money. That's how you live. Fuckin gas prices going up your going to need money to get around and live your life.

  • Yeah, it's called being a musician! Why don't you try it if you think you can do any better. These guys give up so much of their time to tour and keep their fans happy. They barely get to see their families, etc. Don't bash these guys..they are some of the best guys I have ever met in that genre of music!

  • I'll bet you listen to Metallica? Fuck you, you want to talk about playing for money, when those assholes were out there suing kids for downloading some fuckin music. Go sit on something you bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • You clearly need to go learn a bit more about Metallica's early days my friend. Also, it was Lars showing up for court, nobody else, and they were suing Napster you dipshit, not each damn kid 1 by 1. Like ass hat #2 above you, go ahead and go to work for free for a while. Music is a product, pay for it unless the band itself deems otherwise.

  • you're dumb for saying that. *lars sued napster, and he didn't sue every single kid that downloaded their songs.

  • Go to work for free for a couple weeks and then tell me how you feel. This is their JOB. We work to make money. Their job just happens to be kicking ass on stage. Anyone who complains about bands "selling out" or chasing the money are just bitter failed musicians.

  • it's good to see somebody that understands,it's a hard job!

  • And it's just like saying you work for money.  fuckin fag. SAME THING now get a life.

  • Comment removed

  • yiur a fuckin moron

  • Yes, coz you can live without money, isn't it?

  • Is this the chick the chick from Poltergeist?

  • hey spider morgan rose is fucking awesome wooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Disruptive member? Way to diss on Clint, The guy who practically defined the sound of Sevendust.

  • wtf appleton wisconsin? thats my home town

  • I can't believe this! These guys come to Appleton, Wisconsin at least twice a year, and I wish they'd be there more often! They were one of the first bands I ever saw when I was a kid and they never dissappoint! It's never a problem to shell out $30 for a ticket and another $30 for a tour shirt. It's live music that is such a unique experience that is made awesome with such amazing bands.

  • These guys are good friends of my boss and I. I do security @ the Marquee Theatre in Tempe Arizona. He used to own Big Fish Pub and SevenDust made it big in Arizona because of that place.....

  • haha, love morgan so much. rock on sevendust

  • Now God Damnit! I have to read Catch 22 now just so I can say "Oh yeah, it was a Catch 22 kind of Deal!"

  • It's amazing how much work they have to do just to make ends meet, I honestly believed they were rolling higher than they were, but it just goes to show you how hard the labels can rape you.

    Keep rolling Sevendust, and one of these days I hope to see them live.

  • +1 havent seen them live yet but have all their albums... They fukkin rokk

  • go see them. No matter what they charge it will be worth the money. I saw them last year for the first time... they don't disappointed.

  • Sevendust will be the one of the best bands ever, forever!

    This just proves that just because you have a "Record Deal" that doesn't mean you are a millionaire.

    Sometimes the label you are with can rob you blind too.

    Just going to show that you should only be in the music business for the sole reason that you love to write and play music.

    You should want lots of money but that can't be the only reason you are in the Biz.

    Otherwise you'll give up too quickly.

  • shut up dude!!! You were probably kicked out of a band you were once in and probably for good reason!!!

  • And so were you judging by your attitude. Hiding something?

  • Sick burn.

  • I hate hearing ex band memebers (from any band) being put down. They were apart of the creative process that made the songs that made them famous. The way I see it. Some respect needs to be shown.

  • yeah but see when clint left, he started talkin all kinds of shit on sevendust, and lajon especially, thats what i heard anyways, he went on and did dark new day, and toured with korn, but now sonny has been let go and clint is back in the band, so we'll see if it works out...

  • Sevendust is one of the most underrated bands on the planet. For the love of god, is there a single Sevendust song that can be defined as 'filler'? Every single fucking track they spew out has the potential to be a single, every single one... Hell, even their B-Sides are album-worthy, so I don't know how they decide it's not good enough to be on the album!

    Very few bands share in this characteristic.

  • Amen!!!  Well Said!!

  • i concur

  • I love sevendust and will always love sevendust. but I like both the before and after clint lowery. i do agree tho that the music doesnt have the bad ass melodies that it used to after clint left. but its a new chapter and i still love it. i dont care.

  • Man, Sevendust seriously kicks, espeacially the vocalist. It's too bad they're so not as known as they should be.

  • Very true...Lajon has a really great southern-soul voice, and he isn't given a lot of recognition that he should be getting.

  • dude all of sevendusts music is amazing sonny mayo is a better guitar player, and they dont need him to write lyrics to their songs morgan does an amazing job and lj. Clint Lowery was awesome as well, but he was being selfish so out he went.

  • I love Clint, he's a great guitar player/writer and I'm a huge fan of Dark New Day...I'm a bigger fan of Sevendust, and I love that Alpha is heavy as hell...For a while all of their songs sounded the same, but I'm happy with Alpha

  • Except Sonny aint 1/100000 the songwriter clint was. Sevendust needs to beg Clint to come back if they ever want to produce another good song again. Dark New Day, Clint's new band, sounds like animosity/seasons era 7D, which basically proves he was the heart and soul of 7D, what made them special.

  • im glad they got rid of the other guy sonny is a guitar legend, he played in some of the best bands out there, which is why the new abum kicks ass. PLUS SEVENDUST IS BACK TO THEir ORIGINAL STYLE

  • Totally disagree with you. OK Sonny plays very well but Clint was 200% more inspired. Plus he was the one who gave that certain atmosphere typical of Sevendust. Since "Next" I'm a bit disapointed by sevendust...Did you hear his new band Dark New Day? Man, go check out!!!

  • im going to look into that i never heard of it. next was ok i didnt like it as much as Alpha

  • Gotcha.

  • Who was this "disruptive member of the group" that this interviewer mentions at the end?

  • The old guitarist.

  • man how did we go from listening to an interview to talking about human rights WTF!! wanna have that discussion go somewhere else. go talk to GLAD or the NAACP

  • Instead of complaining, change it. Radiohead stepped up and gave their stuff away. 38% of the downloads were paid for. Did they still pull a million bucks? Did they need the record companies? With technology the way it is you don't need them anymore. They are pimps.

  • you r an idiot..record companies take in certain % of what the bands do.live and studio..you might be clueless as to the real world..sevendust..needed to change back to jj french and theirn first album!!period!!

  • record companies are the same as any other company, they just wanna make money. they dont care about the people that work for it. sevendust is fuckin amazing and they deserve more for what they do. plus there one of the most underrated bands. and theres news of a new album comin out march 4, 2008.

  • Man I miss Clint. They're just not the same without him.

  • Due, that guy was a dick and Sunny has replaced him greatly.

  • Stillllll not the same.... I mean I liked Snot and all... but Sevendust was way better back in the day IMO.

  • im the biggest sevendust fan ever..clint..was a complete asshole..he was given the opp to leave to create the same fucking music?? fuck off!!! burn out!!!

  • Sevendust is way better than half the shit out today that makes millions of dollars. Does anyone agree with me that taking ALL the money the BAND earns is just fucking wrong? Yeah the label produces, distributes etc. the cds, but taking ALL of the band's money? Fuck that.

  • money aint shit to the labels,record companies etc..sevendust is one of the greatest bands ever..to feel sorry for the band..i dont..they should have stuck with jj french!!!first album rules all!!!

  • that is how it is mang...thank god they speak the truth!!!!!!!

  • Wow, people are arguing over dumb shit in the comment space for a video where the members of sevendust are explaining how they are struggling? How they were having trouble taking care of thier families, and gonna make dumb ass comments? Wow man. Just....wow.

    Anyway...Im just glad sevendust is taking care of thier own shit now. Great band, i hope they dont stop making albums anytime soon. Keep it metal

    mËtÀ£ hËÀÐ

  • I was upset because someone will fight a racist up here and then turn around and be homophobic, and I feel hate is hate no matter in what form, but then I realize internet fights like this take away from the performers, think about it

  • wtf r u talking about?;lajon is the shit!!!period!!!suck my dick!!!since day one...1998..first sevendust..r u that clueless?u cant realize what truths are?no racism is there

  • The interesting thing is; Lajon could kill a racist queer like yourself with no trouble; no one especially a racist queer messes with Lajon Witherspoon; and hey even if you got passed him; the rest of the band would kindly destroy you; but then again, your too much of a coward to actually confront Lajon; that's why you talk trash behind a computer screen

  • God damn right!!!! Love Lajon, love Morgan and the whole band!!! LONG LIVE SEVENDUST!!!!!

  • sevendust after 10 years still kicks ass than ever before.

  • mrbracken you can go to hell lajon is the BEST singer in the "hard rock" category. why are you so obliveus to the fact that supression ended 40 years ago EVERYBODY has equal rights regardless of the color of their skin. P.S im white and i KNOW that everybody has equal rights get your head out your ass

  • In theory, everyone has equal rights. In practice, this is not true. Rascism is human nature, but that doesn't make it right. Everyone has equal rights on paper, but in the real world things ain't so good.

  • Actually, racism isn't human nature...

    Notice how kids simply make fun of whoever they want? It's influence that makes racism. If your around a racist, it's more than likely to have racist thoughts now and again. You don't wake up going "Ahh, I wonder what race I'll degrade today!".

  • ne one think lajon would make a good curious george for halloween??

  • Dude what the fuck is wrong with you seriously. NO ONE cares about your opinions especially when they are offensive..How does he belong in jail?? No one "belongs" in jail you faggot. IS it because he's black? GO DIE YOU BELONG IN HELL. Idiot.

  • .....That's why you're an idiot.

  • He didn't even cut him off for a long period of time and the conversation is including him aswell he is apart of the fucking band and is involved in the interview you red necked clan cock sucker. Go fuck off and shut the fuck up. Just because your unwiped ass was taken by a couple of drunk black guys on a sunday evening dosen't mean you can just hate a whole ethnicity and think highly or your misguided beliefs.

  • All man I just adressed your dumbass before and your still getting on Sevendust vids. Your are by far another dumb racist fuckwad. Go eat shit and die. Lajon only put things in here and there and everyone dose that nothing big about what he did. And he did let Morgan talk he only added very little showing he agreed.

  • Its so easy to talk shit on the internet. I hope your moms proud that out of her drunk pussy she birthed a bigger pussy

  • Isn't it funny how you think you can speak whenever you want? And have equal rights? When you're a moron?

  • isn't funny that you feel you have the right to judge others and made demands on others. eat shit

  • Isn't it funny you feel the need to be a hypocrite? And how is a statement a demand, you idiot? Feel free to do the best thing you could ever accomplish, and eat a dick. Maybe then you'll spew less double standards from your mouth.

    ...Unless you meant to post to the same jerkoff I was responding to, I apologize in advance.
