  • To feel again....

  • If only I could

  • Without his dreadlocks, Lajon looks like a completely different person. I don't like it. However, its still an amazing song! No doubts about that.

  • the vocalist looked like David Otunga!

  • kwek kwek ! :))

  • i saw them back in 2001 at the HFestival in RFK in DC.... they rocked the place... todays music is not like it was back then

  • whenever i watch this video Lajon reminds me of Lenny Kravitz

  • really like everything this band puts out their amazing enough said, enough said beyond amazing!

  • Lupet ng Ampota!!!!

  • fucking pitbull and chris brown add.

  • This is most likely my favorite song by them

  • Some real artistry going on there...

  • kinda weird seeing him without his dreads

  • Awesome guys, awesome song...Thanks a lot

  • this song gives me chills

  • @EZO411 No.

  • this nigga is off the chain.

  • Świetny kawałek!

  • these guys rock

  • lajon with short hair is a major nono

  • @cookiefromgod Guys like him can grow it back so fast though.

  • @cookiefromgod lol couldnt agreee more hommi

  • sorta funny all these racial remarks on there lead singer being black but theres 2 facts that must be addressed on that. 1. he's the soul reason why this band is so under rated even though the instrumentalists hand picked him to sing lead before they became known as sevendust and 2. and this isnt meant to be racist but thats why his vocal melodies are so much better than most rock singers. black people just have better rhythm. :P #SevendustTillTheDust

  • i dont understad why even theres discussion bout skin color? its like discussion bout hair color ..doesnt matter cmon

  • @godOfAssassinwar Agreed. Music doesn't discrimminate

  • Why are the chord progressions always the freaking same? You can predict the damn melody of the song. Sevendust, I've seen you in concert, liked the show, never loved ya. This song is a reason why.....no originality.

  • best by sevendust hhands down

  • I can't wait to do a cover of this song. The best piece by Sevendust by far. <3

  • amazing song

  • Soulful lyrics, screaming vocals, melodic riffs, metal riffs, badass drumming... What doesn't this band do?

  • Fucking epic!!!

  • ahhhhhh, love the drums! drums I love drums I love!!!!!!!!!

  • my favorite song rite there.sevendust makes the best rock music EVAAAA!!!!!

  • Wow let's be mature and just live on good music and not hate on negativity please?

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP an listen to the music...especially you tree plucker you negative cunt

  • Crossfade,Sevendust,Skindred,3 Days Grace,best bands in the world.

  • @jinx762 you serious? there good but I wouldn't say best.

  • if this is what you people consider metal we have no hope!

  • @treeplucker Who said this is particular song is 'metal'? Music would lose all of its meaning if everything had the same sound..

  • @treeplucker It is classified as metal, so you might wanna shut the fuck up. I listen to the satellite station Liquid Metal all the time. It wouldn't be on there if it wasn't metal.

  • i would to see these guys in concert :D right after i beet the shit out of those 11 dislikes...

  • Their singer is badass.

    

  • holy shit i listen to sevendust for like a year on 105.7 the point in st louis and never thought once that he was black lmao

  • @TheP4l The Point is the best radio station ever. Listen to it all the time too.

  • save me now im broken if i can feel again

  • What does skin color have to do with how bad ass somebody can sing? Sevendust is an amazing band because you can feel the emotion in the song, not because the band does or doesn't have a black lead singer.

  • i love this song.

    

  • @PetoUtReperio1 wtf is a wop? lol

  • well im still there biggest fan but this is a lillte weak!! only a assholes view!

  • The blind trying to influence the blind

  • THIS IS AMAZING

    Reaction: Epic

  • i hate when ppl say bands are underrated. man i'm angry

  • Amazing Band!

  • Is it just me ? or is every comment in here involving his skin colour ... ? even mine..

  • it would be as if a scientist held a breaking news press conference, showing the world in a vile the newly-created cure for cancer, and the audience scoffing, "But the liquid in the vile is pink. That's so gay! We don't want it." There are homophobes. There are idiots. And there are, apparently, raceophobes. Well, maybe it's just idiots.

  • @OfficialJabberwocky its good to know im not the only sane person left.....

  • I can't believe it, every Sevendust video, it's a discussion about the way light waves bounce off of the physical form of the instrumentalists, as opposed to the waves of music emanating from their respective instruments and how they choose to interact with them. Sorry, was I nitpicking that under a microscope? Well, so are all of you about the subject of race. It's funny how the blind ones think they have so much they see.

  • Hey, another black rock singer! This is the second to Five Finger Death Punch! I've been counting! This is history!!!

    Lol ignorance at it's best. Anyway this is all besides the point as this song ROCKS!

  • The singer for Evans Blue is White

  • Sevendust just passed up a whole lot of bands to number 6

    I have never really listened to them much. Now I'm hooked.

  • I love this song,it makes me think about my life and take some choices ^^ I love you sevendust!! and Lajon you are the best!!

  • up at the top it clams they will be playing at the Marcus Amphitheater on the 8th but infact they will be on the rock stage about 2 miles north... ill be there!

  • oh and im not racist... but evans blue's singer is not black.. sorry, they also have a new one.. he's not either but it doesnt matter really great band though

  • Is there a video on this damn website without someone talking about race?

  • this song makes me wanna cry lol

  • Comment removed

  • PLEASE READ!

    It's not a good idea to go to Biebers video & click the dislike button cause every time we go to his video he gets payed a few cents cause his vid's sponsered. Instead we pick songs like this & get as many people as we can to watch so by the 9th of July all rock videos will be most viewed on youtube charts.This will get the younger audience to listen to good music & might have good rock bands form again.PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE! THUMBS UP

  • First time listening to Sevendust. They sound really good! Really impressed!!

  • 9 peoples are broken down

    

  • Obviously, the band members have looked past the racial barrier that some seem to still have in place!!!!! Rock on, my Brother!!!!! I am a Black drummer in a local progressive metal band and the first question that is asked by the fanbase is,,,There is something new going on with your sound, you guys sound tight...what happened? and everyone points at me saying.,...its our new drummer!!!! So with music....there are no racial barriers!!!! Get overit ppl!!!!!

  • I AM LIKE NUMBER 1000

  • FUCKING amazing at download well worth the watch! ! ! !

  • when did he cut his hair

  • evan's blue has a black drummer

  • Best band in the world!!!! So underrated

  • Sevendust live in Warsaw tooniiiiiiiight! ;-D

  • \M/ Sevendust = Pals with Black Label Society (ZAKK WYLDE) and Friends with Mark Tremonti etc.. .

    \M/

  • i didnt have a clue who these guys were untill i heard they were touring with A7X.. now their 1 of my fave bands

  • In not a big fan of rock or metal or whatever this is.. actually i never really would listen to rock music but i really like this song :) The Lead Singer is Amazing too :O <3

  • Got to be truthful i herd of these guys never listened to them herd they are touring with A7X had a listen to a shit load of there songs and there now on my workout playlist

  • my frind knows the drumer in real life

  • My friend loved Sevendust and I gave them a listen several years back and they are one of a handful of bands that I adore every song on their album. I skip nothing because everything is effing amazing. They should be WAY more wellknown than they are which is such a shame.

    Flawless band, flawless music.

  • awsome song!!i adore their melodies and sound!!!respect 4 sevendust

  • I fucking love this song.

  • I wish the top comments weren't so "Look at me, i'm so culturally accepting!" and were more like "This music is fucking awesome, these guys kick ass!!"

  • seeing these fucks today at pointfest!!!

  • @sl1pkn0t1100. Why are they racist? Wtf you can't dislike something

  • There are 9 racist bastards out there!

  • dude fuck everyone who sez hez black cuz hez not!!! hez human!!! if u call him a color i dont think ur human!!!

  • Anyone that puts down one of the greatest metal singer of my generation because hes black they should jump of a bridge. If you have seen them live lajon puts 100% heart and soul in his music to the point where he gets emotional. Phenominal person and singer.

  • it makes it even more badass cause hes black

  • Living Colour is a band just with black guys and is awesome!

  • grow up viper join the new century

  • i love this song!!!! i have listening since 2 years ago everyday!!

  • @Viper3911 i have never heard something soo childish in my life...and im a child! wtf man grow up

  • EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • soooo gooood!!!

  • infuckingcredible, is that a word ?

  • LJ is an incredible voice, Clint is an incredible guitar and fantastic voice. Clint and LJ together = one of the best voices in Metal.

  • Great voice, awesome song, been playing it over and over today. Sevendust FTW.

  • FUCK COLOR, CREED, RELIGION, NATIONALITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION...

    WE ALL BLEED RED!!! THE OTHER SHIT, JUST DOESN'T MATTER!!!

  • I don't care if he's black or white...He could even be green that didn't give a sh*t...I just know that he has the most beautiful voices of all times.

    And this was the first song that I heard of them...Sevendust forever!

  • we all come here for music, dont fucking talk about the skin colors, yo mutherfuckers

  • Comment removed

  • not a prob with black people i love when people break outta there music color box hes one of the best singers round these days prolly best black rocker sense hendrex diff talent guitar vs singin but none the less same par

  • @gsxrfoster89 what about slash hes half black

    

  • my bro was at this show(lucky S.O.B)

    

  • Once you go black you never go back!!!

  • Moja ulubiona piosenka tego zespołu. !

  • I have never seen any lead singer sing with as much soul and emotion as lajon. he is one of my top 3 favorite singers. Just so fucking talented.

  • what's wrong with black?

  • it's fine that you dont like lajoon being black,anyway just you won't sum up what sevendust really is as a good band that produces great music,we have millions of sevendust fans worldwide

  • have you never listined to killswitch engage their lead singer is black not that race matters black or white don't matter its the message being sent is what we should listen too just enjoy the music !

  • first black guy ive ever seen sing lol.... good band though

  • @perry244 Killswitch Engage, Evan's Blue, Darwin's Theory, Nonpoint, and Skindred all have black singers.

  • @shootthis123 Elias is actually Puerto Rican. Either way, all of those bands are fantastic

  • @shootthis123 I just recently found out that Killswitch Engage did, i never even seen the singer for Evan's Blue, and i thought the guy for Nonpoint was just...idk lol

    It's all good music tho, so the skin color doesn't even matter (except for to a few Youtube asshole rapists)

  • @shootthis123 And, gosh, they suck. I don't really know which of my fav bands has a black singer, never cared.

  • @leggendario93 *golf clap.*

  • @shootthis123 evans blue singer is a fat white guy. Well he isnt fat anymore.

  • @earwax12321 No, that dude was removed from the band. Go and see their band page. The new lead singer is black with dreads. Kevin Maitsyn(spell check?) was removed from the band for making decisions that were detrimental to the band. Now they suck more than a porn star.

  • @shootthis123 Lajon Witherspoon the "singer of the band 1994–present" Has been the singer since the bands conception..The only person that was removed from the band was Clint Lowery "lead guitar, backing vocals 1994–2005, 2008–present" but rejoined the band..POW

  • @Vonwolfvenhowzen Members Current Dan Chandler - vocals (2009–present) Parker Lauzon - rhythm guitars Vlad Tanaskovic - lead guitars Joe Pitter - bass Howard Davis - drums (2007–present) Former Darryl Brown - drums (2005–2006) Danny D - drums (2006) Kevin Matisyn - vocals (2005–2008) Google is wonderful for researching shit before trying to pass it off as fact. Thanks for playing kiddo.
  • @shootthis123 Well, I havent heard the new guy yet so I cant say if they suck or not. But the original guy is awesome. So I'm kind of disappointment.

  • @earwax12321 He sounds good, but the passion that Kevin had is not there. Now they are more.... Nickleback... for lack of a better term. Now they are just.... generic.

  • @shootthis123 the lead guitarist and drummer from Buckcherry, the drummer from Seven Day Sonnet (i think), and the bassist from Cavo are all black also

  • Comment removed

  • @shootthis123 dont forget the new singer for Alice in chains either

  • @shootthis123 Nonpoint's singer is Porto Rican I think

  • @shootthis123 so does god forbid

  • @shootthis123 dont forget the new singer for alice in chains

  • @shootthis123 Thats because Black people is the best (Y) !!!!

  • @shootthis123 alice in chains now has a black singer too.

  • @shootthis123 alias of nonpoint is not black dipshit

  • @verohurricane Sure fucking looks like it you dehydrated treetard. Go suck a cock, choke on it, and die, you rude little faggot. A pink profile... pathetic.

  • Comment removed

  • @verohurricane His name isn't Alias either, you smart kid with down syndrome. Fag. Go listen to some Justin Bieber.

  • @shootthis123 oops sorry i put an A instead of an E, at least i know what race he is, have you even met the band before? been to a live show? im from south florida nonpoint fan for life fuck nugget

  • @verohurricane Never met them or seen them live, just on videos. So pat yourself on the back, you know worthless bullshit and can be a dick while showing it. Take your pink profile elsewhere faggot. Pathetic meat puppet. Don't you have some cocks to go gobble?

  • @shootthis123 dam you have a retty mouth on you, do you kiss your mother with that same mouth?

  • @verohurricane Sure do. She encourages it. Though not in the same way I am sure your southern ass is accustomed to.

  • @shootthis123 and so does Alice in Chains now...

  • @northweststar1001 Very true, I forgot all about them. That dude sounds just like Lane Staley too.

  • i was lucky man to have been in the studio with them as they were recording alpha.. next to them was shinedown and i ran over to their studio and told bret from shinedown that they sucked . SEVENDUST 4 LIFE BITCHES!!!!!!

  • One of the best bands of all time!! Im with bbuttery if you dont like it fuck YOU!

  • Love this song,, Fuckin LaJon was cooler with dreads though.

  • If you are blind and listen to the music- everyone is the same color to you.

    I find the entire band quite talented. Talent does not know the boundaries of color, only ignorance does.

  • Im actually glad he's black, it's very rare to find a white person with that kind of melodic voice.

  • @ErGravit1 jesse leach and adam dutkiewicz..two fo the best... check out a song by times of grace called "worlds apart"...."where the spirit leads me"

  • @ILLRICARDO he has a cool voice, but not as deep as this guy. Just my opinion u dont have to live by it.

  • @ErGravit1 i do like this guy, but i wish he did more songs in this style... unravelling, confessions... are my 2 fav songs from the new album...thing is his voice is amazing for this type of songs...it just not that suited towards heavier songs... it takes some getting used to..karma and splinter took some few listens before they grew on me

  • @ILLRICARDO I think my favorite from them is this waffle and praise. Also the guy from KSE (the band adam dutkiewicz is from) who sings is black too. lol

  • im going to see them march 30th with disturbed, korn, and stillwell :D

  • @viperdude2002ca Do you know how much I envy you? A LOT. Unlucky me, I'm from overseas.

  • god damn vevo

  • Lajon is a fuckin sick ass singer and is way beter when you see them play a live show sevendust fuckin rocks

  • 9 people Thinks Rebecca Black is the Voice of the Future.

  • I have this as a ringtone, just hearing that scream at the beginning makes my day.

  • why do u ppl make such a point out o it that hes black........

    i iz black and i lovez metal ands rock.........so yaz should shut up , i brt u can't sing as good as him...!!

  • is ppl still worried about skin color? and what year is this? thats right 2011. its about time to let stupidity go and move on.

  • I wish people would look past skin color and just listen to the music. X-|

  • Its kick ass that they are Friends with  Alter Bridge !!! & of course with Black label Society

  • @sarcasticgrunt01 THANK YOU!

    I wouldn't care if this guy was Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Purple, Red, or Shit Colored!

    I just wanna hear good music, and Sevendust delivers!!! Rock on 7Dust!

  • @sarcasticgrunt01 tbh.. before i saw the music video i didnt even know the singer was black. just proves that you cant judge music by the singers 'skin color' i mean.. killswitch engage, and skindred have black singers and there still loved!

    Well Said man.. <3

  • @sarcasticgrunt01 Agreed to the both of you Perry244 Sevendust, killswitch, and disturbed are my favorites. And the singer from disturbed is middle eastern. Fuck the haters!!!

    Rock Steady

  • @sarcasticgrunt01 I haven't ever seen one person say something racist about Lajon.

  • @sarcasticgrunt01

    and they are all fuckin amazing :D
