Sevendust-Praise

[Megasnipermaster]

More black ppl should be into metal and get famous playing this good along with sevendust and killswitch engage

[kosilveriarn]

2:43 If I was going to kill myself in a head on collision, I would totally sync it to this bit.

[cbmatherstew]

Check out HateFace-Vlad

[Majyxs]

This is the first Sevendust song I heard; first thought that came to mind: "To the record store!"

[UnHolyFurBall]

Awesome song is fucking awesome.

[DoThyDerp]

Wasn't this crap on madden? Lol this crap sucks

[mewdeeone]

@DoThyDerp You came here to find it, didn't you? Go do your derp.

[DoThyDerp]

@mewdeeone You listen to it, don't you? You probably suck.

[DarkAngelWings101]

Why the racist comments? It don't matter if your Black, White, Chinese, Arabian, Native American, etc. You cut us all and we all bleed red, were all EQUAL too cause we bleed the same. Have a problem with it then fine, hate me if you want.But just because someone pissed you off, doesn't mean you be disrespectful or take it out on anyone else.Your better then that, why should you care? Because at the end of it all it still leads up to one fact, THEY DON'T KNOW YOU.So suck it up, enjoy the song :)

[amoogashane]

if you like this, look up Rock Roots Riot by Skindred

[MyTuxLinux]

this is the first time i listen to this song and it has already become one of my favorite songs \m/ >.< \m/

[A7XBradyMCS]

Black Singer + METAL = GOD WOULD BE PROUD HOORAH!!!!!!!!

[islandersfan1]

Great song, Great band, Great singer, Great drums, Great guitar. JUST EPICNESS!!!!!!!

[adollupofdaisy]

this is my first time really looking into Sevendust and honestly... i love it!!!

[xanderzone1985]

@adollupofdaisy they will change your life brother.

[xanderzone1985]

Respond to this video...  or sister!

[adollupofdaisy]

@xanderzone1985 Lol! :) Okay

[Nihaltass]

Black animal

[LegalMarihuanaP2HF]

Black or white.. Fat or skinny... Rapper or Rocker...Religious or not!! Racism isnt about colors anymore!!! Racism is Just a Way for PPl to have the overwhelming feeling tht they are better than another person becuz he is what the other is not!!! well to tell you the truth "Those Who are Racist Are Blind To Life" Racism has evolved into Something tht LABELS society...just another way to Pit Human Vs Human & fucked up thing is Most of you fall for it jajajajaja-WeedSmokes

[Friiiiick]

Love how everybody's freaking out about "racists", when there have been almost no racist comments on this video at all. It's like, yeah, you're all anti-racist. That's a good thing. And seeing so many people against racism makes me proud to be human. Because intolerance of intolerance is the only kind of intolerance that should be tolerated. But there aren't any racists here. Project your enthusiasm for fairness and equality where it's needed and where it'll help.

Keep on rockin', guys. Peace.

[xxBlackVeilBridexx]

saw these guys yesterday at Uproar fest. fucking awesome!!!

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@xxBlackVeilBridexx You jammy sausage!

[dhze93]

Does anyone else think Lajon's dreads plus the bull ring=completely bad ass in every way possible?

[MileenasFloss]

Human... stupidity level...it's..it's ...OVER 9000!

I am black and I listen to metal exclusively. Rap makes me want to vomit a mucus-saturated ball of nails, thumbtacks and dirty syringes.

If you want to know something about me, ask me not my skin. All it's gonna tell you is that some long-dead relative in my distant past lived somewhere hot and sunny.

[Viciodemerda]

and what about Sepultura? HAHA black people own <3

[agatho123]

damn, i thought lajon would be white, but him being black just makes sevendust that much fuckin cooler!!!!

[cheeseonamonkey]

I read the first 3 comments that I saw and lost all faith in humanity...

[Nightx88]

Instead of bitching about race, people should talk about how bad this band is.

[ZombieKiller766]

God Im fucking sick of people bringing up race in this subject. So the lead singer of a heavy metal is black. So what? Eminem is a white rapper, but do people bitch about that? No. So It's ok for Eminem to be in an all black rap group but this guy cant be in a heavy metal band? When first found out about Sevendust, I fucking loved them and still do, but did I bitch about the lead singer being black? No. It's the music and talent that counts, not race. Now shut the fuck up, you racist assholes.

[LieTheCat]

I love this voice so fucking mutch *QQQ*

[Salv3nius]

@ all the racist bastards out there: Just one thing for you to think about....what have you ever done with your life?

Answer: Got attention on the Internet for being a complete and utter moron

Question: What has Sevendust achieved?

Answer: A shit lot more than you can ever do, fame, fortune and the ability to pump out good music

If this music isn't your taste...fine but DON'T EVER BRING THE RACE CARD OUT to try and reason your pathetic reason for breathing

[morgan0605]

Music should be color blind, I had 2 Sevendust CD's burned for me and didn't even know Lajon was black. I just listened and loved the music, get over it people.

[thesmm18]

i speak for all A7X fans when i say thank you all for helping takeing down rap of the year 2011

[cjbox44]

Going to see them in Houston in like an hour!!

[ambarkley]

@cjbox44 I was there too! But it's the Woodlands, not Houston.

[hardestbuttontobutto]

this is so... FUCK YEAH!

[ruiner000]

everyone being corny on the race card....If metal had one color that represented it....it would be black.....Tell me this isn't a perfect match :)

[annasdad2003]

If yall think Lajon is catching hell it go see Animals As Leaders and you'll see Tosin Abasi catchin it as well! Go figure black dudes doin rock but the Trolls want them to go back to the Black section of the music store lol!

[BrownSkyBlueDirtBAND]

the tone of his voice is great

[punkdario]

Like 7Dust

[LMCMInterloper]

WTF is up with the "She Bangs" shit at 0:44-0:55? Are Sevendust trying to be like Ricky Martin/William Hung or some shit like that?

[chavkiller1035]

Why so much hate for Lajon cause he black? Jimi Hendrix was black and everyone worships him!

[spazzedoutfml]

honestly, howard from Killswitch engage is black, no trolls be hating on those videos. shut the fuck up.

[bell677]

we are all humans first and i love all races this bank fuckin rocks

[BFsotamies]

Good song.

[hschick3]

i dont care if Lajon is black, white or spraypainted purple, he is fucking awesome. One of the best vocalists ever!!!

[glencoe428]

I'm tired of seeing comments just become the lead singer of Sevendust Lajon Witherspoon is black.

In my view he isn't a black or white musician

only a musician 

[dwg116]

this guy sings his ass off!!!!  a different tone then most metal but i actually like it a lot more!

[Roxstar171]

I don't care what anyone says but sevendust is freakin' awesome Morgan Rose is freaky lookin & he's always screamin'!

[Breakside92]

Rock am ring 2011 sevendust it was fuckin amazing !

[TakedaDoujin]

<,< I need the option to turn off comments. All the pissing and moaning kinda kills the epicness of it all. It's not any of you really care, you're just being flamers, and it's very cute, but do it somewhere else.

[olimits]

wooooooooooooow what a band woooooooooooow what a great voice a sound which is soooo awsome grrr effect!!

just check out my workout vids

dariush nac!!thx

[DeathDealer655]

i agree with @MeanT241985 . stop pulling the fucking racecard. people bitch about eminem being a white rapper. people bitch about this guy being a black metal singer. people bitch about darius rucker singing country. if their talented in a type of genre they like, then these artists should be allowed the right to play their favorite type of music without being racially judged. you fucking pricks

[annasdad2003]

@DeathDealer655

Thats cus it fucks up their mental concept of what people do or should do!

[T9sNumba1BiaTcH1]

@DeathDealer655 until I saw this vid I didn't know that the lead singer of Sevendust was black, but that just makes the band that much cooler!

[king93A]

FFS, Stop bitching about black and white! Shut the big fuck up and listen to the music you dumb fucks. -.-

oh and those who disliked this video can go Die. =)

[Anschiism]

@king93A True !

[thewhitehermit]

@king93A well said,well said indeed!

[iamabeliever4life]

@king93A  you got that right. i saw a pretty black girl in the audience jamming. all cultures like metal. Japanese, Germans, French, South Africa, Russians etc... who wouldn't? \0/

[CoolFurby]

Why is it all racism in the comments? shut up and enjoy the music!

[HaterHunter1992]

AWWWWW YEEAAHH!!!

[mstewart10]

<--Black guy. Loves rock/metal. Hates rap.

[Hondasrock87]

I'm just going to put this out there My brother burned me all of his Sevendust CD's that he had. *All of them* and I loved every one of them. I only discovered he was Black 3 months ago. I've been listening to them for years.

[TheCrimeshot]

Metal is the way Forward !

[Mockingbirdanime306]

this video is hot.

[TheClaymoreGamer]

reminds me of symphony of destruction (The intro)

thumbs up if u agree

[creative11019]

@TheClaymoreGamer yeah kind of

[Swaggaworld1]

Saw this band in concert last night. So badass.

[fucwits375]

im black but little do they know some parts of rock came from africa. our origin

[Dakarn]

@fucwits375 Rock originated from Jazz + Blues. The early rock music has heavy influences, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Mellencamp, early Aerosmith, Grateful Dead (although I think they're more funk/rock than just pure rock), The Beatles, etc.

[ruthless187911]

this song is the shit and fuck anybody that say anything bad about it

[kider2002]

this band is so badass i went and seen them in concert in saginaw

[MrRodger30]

bad ass group,,liked them fore 10 years

[namdamada]

that singer looks like a mix betwen benji webb(skindred) and R truth(WWE)

[wroedersheimer]

I don't see color or race or creed. I see how people choose to represent themselves and that's all. Oh yeah, by the way, Sevendust is BAD-ASS live...... Fuck it. You be you and let them be them.

[fritzlnightmare]

That was very cool at Rock am Ring!

[AxeDry231]

This song is sooooooooooooo gooooooood damn and one more time :D

[HeavenWolf108]

I don't see what's with the "black people don't like metal music" deal that's going on so much. I'm black, and if you turn on my mp3 player, the first song that you'll see is going to be a rock or metal song (most likely this song, since it's so damn perfect).

Other than that, yes, this song is perfect. I'm a fan of this band now, and my love for rock and metal music exploded when I heard this song.

[a7xavengedsevnfold11]

my girlfriends friend grew up with the singer

[burnthedead13]

this singer is like metal's version of Barry White

[Mystikalmiguel86]

fools often sometimes forget

[martinimos]

It still shocks me to find out that people are only just now hearing about sevendust and that Lajon is a black lead in a metal band. I have listened to these guys since about 1996 and they have been a staple in my music collection ever since. I love these guys... I never considered them to be a metal band with a black guy, but just a great band with a lot of really good music.

[LiquidBigBoss]

@martinimos I feel the same way about Killswitch Engage

[dhfan1977]

the singer reminds me of Living Colour

[effingmastermind]

Gonna see them tonight. It's gonna be awesome :D

[WhitePlek]

there should be more black metal and rock singers. Great voices for that style of music! (just as well as for conventional "black music")

[angemala]

These guys are awesome live! Rock on!!

[moosygenix]

Damn, I love his sexy voice ^^

I've never even wondered what colour this singer has, didn't know it was supposed to be important ... He could have been green with purple dots and red hexagons for all I care. What on earth does it matter what skin tone someone has? I never understood that. What's next? You can only have blonde hair and blue eyes? Because that has already been tried about 60 years ago and it didn't turn out so well, remember? That ship has sailed (and been shot through the head)

[shedd94]

i wanna know why the fuck sevendust don't have an official youtube page

[SuperGamer87]

FUCK racism, and ALL its bastardly forms of existence! I don't give a fuck WHO you are, I don't want to see that shit from ANYONE! If you've got a problem with Sevendust just because the lead singer Lajon's just a different hue with his human shell than you, then you're a fucked-up human being! Peel your fucking skin if you can't get past it! Take a good close look! You're a goddamn human being like the rest of us, you selfish piece of shit! Don't you forget that!

[gordonfreeman64]

@SuperGamer87 well said :)

[BellaBluestone4]

they could use some chap stick o.o

[tweak666616]

from the side the guitarist looks like dee snider in strangeland lol

[st4rfish24]

Oficially my favorite song.

[AerzteFreak93]

awesome!

[xxDarkAwpxx]

I wanna see this band collab with Disturbed.

[Acabbbb]

@xxDarkAwpxx

Io sono stato al concerto a Milano, Sevendust e Disturbed insieme *w*

[xxDarkAwpxx]

@Acabbbb English?

[fredenzomilan]

he looks like Terence Trent D'Arby :)



[ClassyNova]

Would You Open Up Your EEEEYYYES!!??

[Cornoy]

awsome voice, only awsome

[PyroGee]

WHO GIVES A FUCK if he's black! Lajon Witherspoon is reason why I listen to metal!

[elpelucagarcia2]

Listen, I don't give a damn if he's black or white...isn't Justin Bieber as white as my ass, and sings as good as it? He's black, but he's an outstanding singer.

[smichaels54]

AWESOME BAND!!!!!!! THEY BUSTED MY EARDRUMS THEY'RE JUST DAT FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!!

[romaniaetare]

They are all living their dream. Who the fuck cares if he's black? Looks don't mean shit anyway.

I guess the faggots who call the lead singer a nigger are jealous on his big fucking juicy 8======================D

[BeautifulLoser616]

Love Sevendust for a little over a year, went to see them live and was all "Holy shit! He's black! Sweet!" And I 'm white. If anything, it made me respect them more. Not something you see often!

[Vicks007kid]

love it!

[Mystikalmiguel86]

one race, human race,........ what did u expect fools often sometimes forget.

[Neekolassify]

who cares about his race? i think he's kinda cute ._.;

[sneedlehopper]

BAMAISBACK you are exactly the type of coward I hate, can spout off at the mouth on a computer, my wife is black and I assure you if I heard you talking like that I would take great pleasure in stomping your fucking teeth in the back of your head, biggot

[rcortez91]

people that hate on him cause he is black is absolutely retarded. You hear that voice who gives a fuck what color he is......

[BAMAISBACK13]

Damn niggers are ruining metal too

[jewel224569]

@BAMAISBACK13 He is obviously not A nigger you close minded piece of shit!!!

[Karrahist]

@BAMAISBACK13 your fuckin retarded as fuck you close minded dipshit

[lilass574]

@BAMAISBACK13 he isnt a niger u stupid fuck juss cuz he black dat dnt make him a nigger and he aint ruin metal anyway sevendust is awsome and if u dnt lik em den fuck u

[xQFxifagodatyaho]

@BAMAISBACK13 Fucking racsist, how would u feel? Go to Hell and let me burn your fucking soul.

dont discriminate against others. they could sing too. anyone can sing. say one more rascist thing and i will fucking curse ur mind full o' shit and ur soul to hell. Even da chinese sing metal.

[rahnyc4]

@BAMAISBACK13 yeah i hate when niggers contribute something good to a genre of music.

[SuperGamer87]

@BAMAISBACK13 You moron! Nobody cares about your fucking keyboard courage! By the way, it was a lot of black gentlemen who gave birth to rock 'n' roll, which paved the way of rock as we know it, you piece of shit! Sevendust is contributing to metal genre their own style of alternative metal and we fucking love it!  If you don't like it--GET THE FUCK OUT then! People like you make this planet an absolute hell to live on. I hope you feel my pure hatred for you, you rotten selfish bastard!

[uy3000]

At the end of the day, whether im listening to dubstep, techno, or even classic rock, i ALWAYS end up listening to sevendust!

[111807jeanna]

people keep brining up his race... ya kno for the longest time i guess i thought he was white... i had no idea he was black... but when i found out it was no skin of my bac n i dident think any more of them because hes black, they were still a bad ass band nothing more nothing less =p i mean look at jimmi hendrex, did you realy dought a black man playing AMAZING rock music???

[kateypatd]

Proud To Say I Was SOOOOO Close To Him At Tha Rockfest! best day of ma life! :)

[SlayersPulse]

@kateypatd YEAAAHHHH Rockfest was amazing and these guys rocked the entire place! He knows how to start moshpits it was fun as hell! Got their shirt!

[kateypatd]

@SlayersPulse 4sur! Right on. My Friend Was Behind Me And Wen He Threw The Pik In The Crowd She Caught It. It Was A Blast! Entire Time Was An Adrenalin Rush!

[CosplayNERD]

it kicks ass



[BlackHeartedMonkey]

i saw thesse guys a few weeks ago and they were so badass!! theyre amazing live!!

[killermockers47]

These guys are soooooooooo good live. :D

[MeanT241985]

Fuck what others think. Like what you want to like. Be your own person.

[MeanT241985]

Okay, black ppl need to stop being bitches and stop being ashamed of liking rock/metal. Theres plenty white ppl that aren't ashamed to to listen to hardcore rap loudly in front of black ppl. So why the hell should it be any diffrent vice versa? Im black and I been listening to hard rock/metal since I was kid. Nobody in my family nor any of my black friends liked it but so what? It didnt stop me and it shouldnt stop any other black person. We need to stop putting colors on music.

[chrisluck5]

@MeanT241985 so true, when i listen to music i don't care what colour the singer is race isn't an issue in music to me and it shouldnt be to anyone else, its all about the music and have to say sevendust are fucking amazing listen with your ears not your eyes ! sometimes its nice to just listen to the lyrics in music its so much better things just flow !

[Jakx133]

@MeanT241985 dam right

p.s. Strat Line Stich, black girl singer

[badass12356]

@MeanT241985 exactly true yous a smart one

[Immafishstick]

@MeanT241985 seconded.

[eddiechristeson]

@MeanT241985 yea bro your exactly right no matter the sound or the color its all beautiful artwork everyone needs to be open minded to anything and evrything we are all in this world toghether we should never let color or or the past come between our thoughts we should get along enjoy what everyone has to show :) World peace would be nice.

[Bittnerwant2be]

@MeanT241985 man M.L.K jr and J.F.K were supposed 2 stop racism, but it's now existing in music, what the hell!?

[MeanT241985]

@Bittnerwant2be No one or two men can kill racism for good. JFK and MLK simply made a difference as much as they could in this world before having their lives taken from them. Thats all any individual can do. Change as much as you can and pass it on the future generations in hopes that they do the same. Its a eternal struggle.

[Bittnerwant2be]

@MeanT241985 ur right they did do the the right thing.

[castled212]

@MeanT241985 didnt mean to click the dislike button i totally agree and very well put i might add! im white had alot of black friends in my day

[tina360]

@MeanT241985 i agree with you 100%

[TheMetallifan1]

@MeanT241985 Damn right!!! The music is all that matters, and all the haters need to go away..

[MichealZero1]

@MeanT241985 im black and i dont really like metal but i like this band im more into hardcore punk but this is the first band i liked and another black person told me about them because of my dreads and thought i looked like lajon so i think sevendust is awesome and i dont give a shit what anybody else think

[MeanT241985]

@MichealZero1 Thats cool. Keep on headbanging and dont let any of these losers with the belief of "racially categorized music" change your ways.

[sum12merkwith]

@MeanT241985 not hating but you need to open your eyes, i respect you for saying that but it wont help, colors are on everything and the world and society is based on stereotypes. the world is full of tools, but i do respect you for that statement, finally someone that understands.

[themasternateshow]

@MeanT241985 Fuck yeah man! I'm white as hell, and I love shit like Gangg Star, Run DMC, etc. Rock on, my black friend. Rock on. :)

[InspectorMontelbano1]

Great song and a great band, I only discovered Sevendust by accident, because the stupid radio stations won't play their music. My question is, whey don't the radio stations play great bands like Sevendust?, and instead shove Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber shit down our throats.

[taz3deval]

i say at least a black man isnt singing bout rap XD

he is the best black man metalist ever XD

[trixiville]

One of my favorite songs back then! Still love it!

[TheJewel83]

im bored of every1 slagging this dude off

listen to the lyrics if there songs amazing and his voice is gd!!!!!!

[syclonekiller223]

Now i dont feel ashamed to be the only black person who listens to rock in my area

[Rotenlutafish]

@syclonekiller223 Dude you should NEVER feel ashamed of the music you listen to your anything you do. What people think of you is there opinion an they are entitled to that. You just gotta remember if their opinion leaves their head then you shall follow through by kickin' the fuck outta them!

[syclonekiller223]

@Rotenlutafish Sweet! Thanks! Imma try it.

[xxdisturbedx03xx]

@dungsitta Define "older stuff" because honestly, this may not be their oldest stuff but it definitely isn't much a change....this is only from their third album....

[Disturbedfreak2013]

white guy with dreadlocks <3



[jerzeykid1016996]

92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DONT LET ROCK N ROLL DIE ! , P.S Thumbs Up If You Agree ;D

[ShadowoOfBlood]

@DarkKabut0 I love the fact that every single 'band' you listed under "I say" is pure and utter shit.

[raccomando1992]

@ShadowoOfBlood so true except Slipknot there fucking legit.
