Hahahahahah I didn’t realize it was a Sevendust song and as soon as the riff started I thought “I think there’s a Sevendust song that starts very similar…..” then I heard Lajon start singing.
These guys are one of my all time favorites for just the Animosity album alone, that album is a benchmark for heavier than drop C tones and Clint’s Mark IV tones……fucking a, man. I wish he’d bring that amp back. I always check out their new albums but they rarely get more than a few plays for me, which is a bummer.
It’s not so much their fault, it’s because so many shitty bands ripped off their thing 25 years ago and got huge in the process, the hard rock radio world has basically been littered with Sevendust copy cats putting out watered down bullshit versions of Sevendust songs that it’s hard not to hear them outside of that context now.
Those are some of the greatest dudes I’ve ever met, Clint in particular played a big role in me getting my act together with drinking in my late 20’s, dude sent me a lot of supportive messages when I was starting the process of unfucking myself. And Lajon gave me free tickets to a show when I was broke as a joke back in the day, would not take no for an answer. Great fucking dudes.
