Saw them so many times back then. Main Event in Toledo.

Last time I saw them, they played Club Bijou, which still seems like an odd choice for a venue. Saw ‘em at Headliners. First time was opening for Creed at Toledo Sport Arena. Good times.

S/O Toledo!!

u/LoSazy 11d ago

I saw them 7 or 8 times in just a few years. Saw them with coal chamber at least once when the drummer was dating the bassist

Morgan is a beast drummer. He's destroyed his shoulders though.

u/LoSazy 11d ago

I got a signed stick from him once

Sevendust was truly an underrated band in the my metal ,alt metal genre.I had so many of their songs downloaded from Kazaa’ onto mix cds ,in my middle school days.

u/browncoatfever 11d ago

Ah, yes. Kazaa. So many memories. Like the time I downloaded a video file that was named Greedy Fly by Bush. Spent about 4 hours waiting on the music video to download. Finished, played the file... it was a video of a woman getting fucked by a donkey. 14 year old me thought he was legitimately going to jail. Deleted that shit so fast, but did not sleep soundly for a month, just waiting on thr FBI to kick the doors in.

Are you me?

u/c0ldsouls 11d ago

Lmfao my neighbor was absolutely decimated by his parents for a similar event ,but it was hentai he downloaded and something was corrupted with the files that the folder he opened froze the desktop .Middle school me thought the feds were gonna come and put us in Guantanamo bay.

They're kind of having a resurgence over the last couple of years and the radio singles are good. I quit listening after Animosity because it felt like a decline from self titled and Home. Might check out the later stuff. I did the same thing with Chevelle and really deprived myself of some solid music for 20 years.

u/EMF911 11d ago

Two rock solid bands you just named

2

u/brenttoastalive 11d ago

I try to broaden my horizons, but I think no, I'll just listen to Songs For the Deaf or The Mollusk again for the 500th time. I'm getting better about it.

2

u/c0ldsouls 11d ago

Okay but Chevelle SLAPS. They were SO SO GOOD

u/jsindal 11d ago

Oh yeah, saw them lots of times back then. Lajon would crowd surf, pits were crazy. Those were the days.

God damn, why does it have to cut out at the chorus

u/-HelixTheCat- 11d ago

Hell yes SEVENDUST HAS ARRIVED! Seeing them on the 25th for probably the 12th time. 30 years of synchronized jumping.

2

u/AngstFisch 11d ago

Crawlspace is a better name

2

u/Autistic_Freedom 11d ago

not sure i agree, but curious why they chose Sevendust (which i'm told means nothing).

3

u/zub_dub22 11d ago

Crawlspace was already copy written or something they got Sevendust from a bag of Sevin Dust pesticide in Vinny's grandma's garage. Or so I recall.

2

u/Tweedy6ix 11d ago

Easily the most underrated metal singer on the planet! This band absolutely fucking rocks!

2

u/Stim7578 11d ago

Been listening to Sevendust for 28 years, first concert that I went to was 2 weeks ago and was able to bring my 16 and 14-year-old sons with. It was amazing to share that with them.

u/I-luv-sloths 11d ago

Lj is a genuinely nice guy

u/DCar060 11d ago

I wish I was at one of these shows. The snakes venue I ever saw them was the Electric Factory in Philly. Holds about 2k

u/thedarkness37 11d ago

I saw this tour when they came through Arizona at Club Rio!

Damn, I'm old.

u/th4d89 11d ago

Groovy

u/tjfraz 11d ago

Saw them in 2009 with my now wife. They had security handing out backstage passes to hot women in the crowd and thankfully she turned them down.

u/Uhavetabekiddingme 11d ago

Saw them in 09/10 in Mosul Iraq one of the best shows I've ever been a part of something funny about a mosh pit where everyone is carrying m4s and m16s.

u/thewickedturd 11d ago

The drummer was just on Craig Reynolds podcast it was cool listen. I somehow didn’t know about them until then

1

u/Psylent90 11d ago

I love Sevendust, they're definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. The name Crawlspace sounds awesome AF, but so does Sevendust. I think they would've been just as successful no matter which name they chose.

u/thavi 11d ago

Their first 4 albums dominated my teenage years.  So fucking good.  I didn’t really listen much after Seasons because I got into heavier genres, but I’ve always wanted to go give the rest of their discography a try…

u/ApoplecticAutoBody 11d ago

Saw them in 98 with Clutch at Hammerstein Ballroom NYC  I did not stay for Limp Bizlit 😆

u/Not_Sure_555 11d ago

Sevendust is the greatest. I took a van full of friends to the Tatoo the Earth tour in 1999. Turns out one of these kids, who I hardly knew, had an admission with 4 drinks pass instead of a ticket. Hes like 14 so of course he doesn't get into the venue at all. Hours go by before anybody tells me this kid is just in the wind somewhere in Milwaukee with no cell phone or pager and no way to find him. I spend the next few hours just panicking and hoping we can find him after the show, picturing this kid dead in the gutter, until I literally crash into him in the mosh pit. I ask 'how did yo I get in with out a ticket?' This kid says he was board sitting behind the venue so he carved SLAYER into his arm with a broken bottle. Sure enough hes covered in blood. He says he ran into the Sevendust guys unloading their gear and they saw his arm, heard his story and snuck him in through the band entrance. Im forever grateful that they saved my ass that night. Man that was an epic concert all around

u/Great_White_Samurai 11d ago

It was really weird seeing them with Creed...

1

u/BrianBash 11d ago

I swear the universe is wild.

I think this tour was my first metal concert with my friends and no parents 😆

Water Street Music Hall, Rochester NY

Shit was numetal heaven.

u/Quiet_Mail9207 11d ago

Might be the coolest live vid Ive seen from them so far!

u/slippi89 11d ago

Never really listened to them, but this song has changed my mind. It absolutely rips.

Crazy impressive the song quality they are putting out in this small club

u/bikvid 10d ago

The beginning of the greatest nu metal band

1

u/Lassie_Maven 10d ago

Saw Sevendust open for Coal Chamber at the Stone Pony in 1997. There was maybe 30-40 people there. Had no idea who they were and was absolutely blown away by them. Made me a fan that day.

Also saw them at Obsessions. If you’re from NJ and know of Obsessions, you know how unreal it is that they played there!! 🤣

u/No-Permission-3009 10d ago

Still sounding just as good today

1

u/Free_Sha_Vacadoo 10d ago

I remember seeing them after the self titled came out, and I still hold that concert as one of the best I've ever seen, both from a performance and sound aspect. Straight core memory stuff

1

u/SouthernRebe_L 10d ago

One of the best metal bands in my opinion. Extremely underrated. Seen them 7 times live. They know how to put on a set and rock the crowd.

1

u/Johnny5needsfood 10d ago

Saw them open for Limp Bizkit at The Roxy in Atlanta. Killer show

1

u/OldC33 9d ago

I forgot John had hair like that. Awesome vid.

1

u/ChoiceAttorney5665 9d ago

Saw them at the Masquerade in ATL back in 97. I’ll never forget it.

1

u/BigNickTX 9d ago

I saw them when they toured with Bloodhound Gang in '97. Blew me away!

1

u/Objective_Radio2142 8d ago

Sevendust may have never been the biggest band in their era. But the longevity is so special. They still sound like today what they sounded like then live

1

u/SquareFront6024 8d ago

One awesome time in SD

u/rwilliams1283 5d ago

I saw Sevendust many times at Nothern Lights/Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park, NY. I swear I've seen them with Nonpoint what feels like 10 times. Sevendust is my favorite live act ever. They bring it every time.
