This was a decent cover of "The day I tried to live", my favorite soundgarden song. Angel's Son is my favorite Sevendust song. Slaves & Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun, and Rust Cage are my other favorite soundgarden songs. If you listen to Temple of the dog, I'd say Say hello to heaven and hunger strike are absolute masterpieces.
In fact I don't feel it's underrated. Because I'm happy that he keeps enriching the Metal scene instead of addressing a broader audience with Pop music (which is often considered as "rated as deserved"). Lajon, Steve of The Urge, Corey of Living Colour, Jimmy of 24-7 Spyz, Dug of King's X...these people have so strong soulful voices and I'm so glad they are using them for Metal, Rock or as 90s people would say Crossover.
@@quietri0t Fuck yeah dude!.. I have been to many Urge concerts (hes from st louis I live in st louis helps).. Unfortunately never been to a sevendust one.. but I did buy their cds when I was in high-school.. Love em.. Praise is probably my favorite song by them.. Did like home alot and the fact that they got lead singer from the deftones on it was awesome.. ua-cam.com/video/wc_5o9gnoqU/v-deo.html
I so agree. Sevendust has never been noticed and it sickens me. They are an amazing band with songs that always grab your heart. I can't say enough good things about this band. But you know what.....They can stay underground I'm still gonna listen!!!
I love them and love his voice but I can’t do it all the time. I do sincerely wish they got more exposure though. Years ago I remember very surprised “ooos” and “ahs” coming from the DJs when I requested 7D one time. Like, if y’all enjoy them, fuckin play them??? Lol
@@TacoCrisma Don't count out Nonpoint, or Foo FIghters, either have incredible singers and super talented musicians. Either way, a full tribute to Soundgarden is needed.
Sevendust should get more attention for having covered this song. Lajon as a vocalist really captured the mood & atmosphere of this song and understood exactly what would sound best, verse by verse. 🤘🏻
He's always voiced his appreciation for the Bham,Al fans when ever I've seen the band live. Birmingham bein so close to Atlanta, they've played a ton of shows here. The whole band does really. Years ago I worked a Call Me No One show and got to chat with Morgan and Clint. So down to earth and cool. Just regular dudes. You'd never guess that secretly they're in one of the greatest bands of all time.
I don’t think any respectable band or artist tries to be the actual artist they are covering, but yet offer their interpretation of the song. It that regard, these guys crushed it!!
@DM Kal Some try to do it in their spirit, or with their twist. Others think they just have a similar sound, and can make some money off it. Others will try to make it sound as identical as possible out of respect, or to try to do it better of ego. But yes. They absolutely killed it, RIP Chris!
@FuckUA-cam No.. no he's not. Chris was an amazing generational talent and so is Lajon tho. If anything they're equals you don't have to dis Chris to give credit to Lajon.
The passion at the climax of the song was lost IMO when he sings "should have stayed in bed"..but the sentiment was there and I don't think he wanted to dare try to match..so yeah damn near perfect.
Sevendust killed this cover and should be proud. Soundgarden should be proud. Soundgarden/Cornell's voice and legacy will live on. People must realize this is a cover. It will NEVER be as good as the original, but its damn close and having a younger band cover your song must feel like an honor/respect/homage. That is all.
Late on this but holy hell .. one of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands. It's just phenomenal. And so well done. Thank you sevendust! Love you all.
In my home town about 10 years ago, the house over booked a Sevendust show and the Fire Marshall showed up and shutdown the show. People were totally bummed. Although this was NOT the bands fault, Sevendust honored each and every ticket and came back and played for free. That was such an honorable thing to do. I love these guys and this cover!
i'm a long time SoundGarden and SevenDust fan and i got goosebumps listening to that cover and Lajon nailed it perfect Chris would be proud RIP brother
Awesome! I remember seeing them on a side stage in Texas back in the 90's (maybe early 00's 🤷♂️) There were less than 10 people standing around. I came out for merch, and stopped to listen. I didn't leave until they were done. I fist bumped Lajon during a song break and told them I thought they were great. Ha. Later on they became a thing. Well deserved. Hard working nice guys. 🤙
Sevendust best band ever... 462 shows in a 21 month span bak n da day!! Yea nobody tours like my dudez.. Id be honored to have them tribute anything iv done.. BEAUTIFUL song & the one LJ did w/ David Daughtery "Hunger Strike"... Just amazing!! Everything they do musically is perfect!!💯🤘🎶
Noone will ever do a chris Cornell song better than the man himself...but noone will ever make a cover worthy enough as this either 🤘🤘🤘 my two favourite bands versions of my favourite song. Can die happy 🤘
My skeptic brain went in unsure. But it never existed at all for 5 minutes. That 3 minute 7d head bump vibe stamped it with Lajon's soulful raspiness giving Chris's voice an hug. Yeah, I'm a fan
It's amazing how some songs have such a deeper meaning with the gift of hindsight. Though the deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were shocking to me at the time, over time, I have realized that they shouldn't have been. Listening to their music with the gift of hindsight, I have realized both of them were begging for help, but unfortunately no one realized it or took them seriously. Listening to this song today is so jarring, though I didn't understand the meaning of it when i first heard it. The truth is that you never know what is truly going on in someone's head. You never know how their life experiences affect their perception of reality. Both of these men had everything , yet felt that they had nothing to live for. I wish someone had truly listened to them. RIP
Couldn't put this into better words, kudos to you! They were ahead of their time in a world where nobody listens to anyone. Rest in peace, both of them.
Met Sevendust several times in my career as a concert goer. Always a killer live show. Lajon called me ol school cuz I always wore the same Sevendust shirt to their shows. Original Sevendust self title shirt
I mean... just... fuckin'.... incredible. Chris ain't rollin' in his for this.... he's rising from the grave for this! SO much love and appreciation!!!! What a tribute!!!
One word. Homage....Soundgarden is my GOAT..and these guys KIlled it!!! Been listening to SG FOR 30 years and it never gets old! Any of you Young Bucks who have dived head first in to there back Catalogue..Do yourself a favor
I was extremely skeptical when I first saw this pop up, no disrespect to Sevendust at all, but Soundgarden has a special place in my life. I have to say, you guys did this justice, really cool!!! Thank you!!!!!
There are only two things that could have happened here. This could have fallen flat on it's face. Resulting in lots of negativity. Or. Or what happened. The respect Sevendust gave this.
Thank you so much Sevendust for not destroying an incredible, iconic song by the greatest vocalist of my generation! You did this song justice... Love you so much for the respect you showed and still made this track your own. Special!
Holy shit, I just accidentally came here from Soundgarden version and found the best singer of 2020. Please keep making Chris Cornell cover, man!(whatever you do now), I think that'll be awesome and much appreciated. Thx!
nothing this band cant do, acoustic, hard, melody, covers and never the same thing twice, hell even this video is one of their better ones, crazy how good they are
I can’t ever say it’s better than the original because…it’s Soundgarden. But, holy shit did 7D absolutely nail this one.
Sevendust is criminally underrated as a band. They deserve more commercial recognition than they get.
This was a decent cover of "The day I tried to live", my favorite soundgarden song. Angel's Son is my favorite Sevendust song.
Slaves & Bulldozers, Black Hole Sun, and Rust Cage are my other favorite soundgarden songs.
If you listen to Temple of the dog, I'd say Say hello to heaven and hunger strike are absolute masterpieces.
Chris Cornell ➕ is smiling wherever he is. ❤
This is a great cover absolutely
Lajon is criminally underrated, his voice is amazing, it's like silk!
I second the motion
In fact I don't feel it's underrated. Because I'm happy that he keeps enriching the Metal scene instead of addressing a broader audience with Pop music (which is often considered as "rated as deserved").
Lajon, Steve of The Urge, Corey of Living Colour, Jimmy of 24-7 Spyz, Dug of King's X...these people have so strong soulful voices and I'm so glad they are using them for Metal, Rock or as 90s people would say Crossover.
Yes it is been a fan since they were nobody's love the whole band so underrated just like helmet is here an ice cold beer to ya
@@quietri0t Fuck yeah dude!.. I have been to many Urge concerts (hes from st louis I live in st louis helps)..

As a Sevendust and Soundgarden fan this is ecstasy
Yes! ❤❤❤
I feel ya
Fxckin A
Hell yeah
Fr huhhhh
They did the song justice and paid mad respect to Soundgarden.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
I wasnt super impressed. Big fan of both bands. It was lukewarm. In my opinion of course.
I would’ve gone harder with bass and drums like Led Zeppelin III or Godsmack IV
Agreed. An incredible cover to one of Soundgarden's best, in my opinion. I once saw Sevendust live and was blown...
🤙🏻
Could listen to Sevendust non stop. LJ’s voice is amazing.
Absolutely agree
Same here...LOVE this cover and LJ has such a strong, powerful voice!
Love it love them
I love them and love his voice but I can’t do it all the time. I do sincerely wish they got more exposure though. Years ago I remember very surprised “ooos” and “ahs” coming from the DJs when I requested 7D one time. Like, if y’all enjoy them, fuckin play them??? Lol
He’s no Chris Cornell, but who is
If there was ever a band that could cover Soundgarden with such fucking beautiful perfection, and respect.... It's Sevendust. I love these boys
My favorite living vocalist covering my all time favorite vocalist. I would pay good money for an entire album of Lajon covering Chris.
I'm with you 100% on this
I fully believe he is the only one capable of doing so
@@TacoCrisma Don't count out Nonpoint, or Foo FIghters, either have incredible singers and super talented musicians. Either way, a full tribute to Soundgarden is needed.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
William Miller and Corey Taylor!!! He did the tribute to Chris the weekend of, love at Rock On The Range, soundgarden was a headliner
Sevendust should get more attention for having covered this song. Lajon as a vocalist really captured the mood & atmosphere of this song and understood exactly what would sound best, verse by verse. 🤘🏻
Way too autotunish for me.
Oh Sevendust, give us a cover album already.
This needs to happen at some point 🤩🤘
Fuckin right!!! A bunch of 7D covers would be sick
what else is there? links please
ummm no, give us killer new hard rock, us true hard rockers are tired of remakes
Right , jam songs and such
Not gonna lie this made me teary eyed.
I cried my ass off on my way home from work listening to this.
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Good I'm not alone
There's only a few songs that make me cry and this is one of them... Hurt by Johnny Cash is another.
Same here.
You had me at sevendust
This.
@@KaioshinGohan ^^That
Also that ^
^^^ALL OF THAT^^^
Also...... ^This
Anytime they come home to Atlanta he cries on stage.. The most humble front man I've ever seen 🤘
LJ's the man.
He's always voiced his appreciation for the Bham,Al fans when ever I've seen the band live. Birmingham bein so close to Atlanta, they've played a ton of shows here. The whole band does really. Years ago I worked a Call Me No One show and got to chat with Morgan and Clint. So down to earth and cool. Just regular dudes. You'd never guess that secretly they're in one of the greatest bands of all time.
LJ is a really good dude
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
Seen them in Memphis years ago and he did the same thing. By far one of the most passionate front men of all time!
#SEVENDUSTHASARRIVED Chris is smiling down from Rock & Roll Heaven he would be proud.
Is proud 😇
I agree, Chris is smiling! Super Sick! Great job!!!
Thats so true chris cornell would be the happiest man on heaven for lj
I listen to this cover almost everyday now.. Thx 7D!
Very well done and timeless 🤟🏻
Mods
It's one of a small handful I put on repeat a few times in a row. I dare say it's on par with the original.
@@dark_neverland I actually like it better
@@dark_neverland keep in mind this was live ! Have you ever heard Chris Cornel live ?
It's not Chris, but they did him well... Great tribute to a rock legend! RIP Chris Cornell, long live 7dust!
Hey if anything Chris is looking from above with a smile on his face
Amen.
I don’t think any respectable band or artist tries to be the actual artist they are covering, but yet offer their interpretation of the song.
It that regard, these guys crushed it!!

@FuckUA-cam No.. no he's not. Chris was an amazing generational talent and so is Lajon tho. If anything they're equals you don't have to dis Chris to give credit to Lajon.
This is one of the greatest covers I've ever heard.
I would love to hear this with Chris’ vocals playing lightly in the background when he say’s, “the day I triieeeed to livvvve!” R.I.P. Chris Cornell
🙄
Man nobody could wail that shit like Chris... this is a great cover though
Instant shivers down my spine.
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
I've heard so many saying this and Cornell were uncoverable. No such thing, seven dust killed it honestly. They're amazing.
You are very right! He didn't try to copy the vocals, he took his own spin on it. This is a fantastic cover!
@@jimmyjunks yes, unlike what Puddle of Mudd did with "about a girl" from Nirvana
Cornell is in coverable period.
That hit my heart again and again.
Did all I could not to cry.
that part at 2:56 is just incredible. This cover is amazing. Soundgarden till death.
Oh, hell yeah!
Don't forget about Citizen Dick!😉
Yes!!!!
How great is lajon's voice and 7d covered it without losing its elements....RIP chris
The passion at the climax of the song was lost IMO when he sings "should have stayed in bed"..but the sentiment was there and I don't think he wanted to dare try to match..so yeah damn near perfect.
Sevendust killed this cover and should be proud.
Soundgarden should be proud.
Soundgarden/Cornell's voice and legacy will live on.
People must realize this is a cover.
It will NEVER be as good as the original, but its damn close and having a younger band cover your song must feel like an honor/respect/homage.
That is all.
Rip CC nobody sings like you anymore, but dam I'm sure your smiling down from heaven on this cover! LOUD LOVE! ❤
Thanks a million Sevendust, what a great band, what a great cover from the Great Soundgarden and the great Chris Cornell RIP.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is solid asf.
Crazy,never imagined anyone being able to cover soundgarden and make it equally as awesome as the original.
Great stuff.
Me either Darren! Bad Ass Cover!
This SG cover is like a tribute homage to Chris Cornell . Absolutely flawless. Rip Chris Cornell.
@1776 LJ has range but not Chris's range.
as good? Smoking crack. This is like probably three whole steps down from the original. Chris' range was in the stratosphere.
@@brianmannion7097 that's true,not as good but definitely cool.
Lajons vocals have only gotten better with time. Rock on sevendust. This cover kicks ass
Late on this but holy hell .. one of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands. It's just phenomenal. And so well done. Thank you sevendust! Love you all.
Lajon is a total beast. He is one of the few that can pull of a Soundgarden song. Love it!
I love Sevendust and they did this son marvelously
In my home town about 10 years ago, the house over booked a Sevendust show and the Fire Marshall showed up and shutdown the show. People were totally bummed. Although this was NOT the bands fault, Sevendust honored each and every ticket and came back and played for free. That was such an honorable thing to do. I love these guys and this cover!
Cedar rapids, iowa
@@MalusVir_ . Yep, you got it
sevendust is the only band to give me goosebumps live they are unbelievable they really touch your spirit \m/
Its soo faithful to the original and yet its soo Sevendust. Oh my god! What a helluva cover! Right On 7D!
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
One of the greatest cover songs I've ever heard from this band
To me one of the best bands ever... so underrated... hail from Brazil 🇧🇷
As a long time SG fan.. great cover.
Facts
Check out end games witch trials full album after this!!!
I can't think of another band that would attempt to cover such an amazing song and man they did it justice. Amazing cover for an amazing band.
Mad respect not an easy song to cover. Tastefully done.
Amazing cover!! Sevendust scores GOLD with this one. Chris Cornell is smiling right now.
More than a cover...it's a tribute, And a damn good one. 🙏🏼☝🏼🤘🏼
i'm a long time SoundGarden and SevenDust fan and i got goosebumps listening to that cover and Lajon nailed it perfect Chris would be proud RIP brother
Awesome cover of an awesome song. Love Sevendust & Soundgarden. Thank you guys♥️
One day, Lajon will be known as just as much of a legendary vocalist as Chris and that will make this that much more special.
He already is......
Jay Powell still needs a little more time.
He is in my mind
He is great, he just needs more recognition. But us true fans know...
OMG. I’ve been loving Sevendust for decades. Now this?? Get it, boys. Sooooo good.
Awesome! I remember seeing them on a side stage in Texas back in the 90's (maybe early 00's 🤷♂️) There were less than 10 people standing around. I came out for merch, and stopped to listen.

This band should be way bigger than they are! Lajon has such a powerful voice! The whole band are amazing musicians!
Favorite song, favorite band playing it,good times.
what a beautiful tribute song!!!! love you guys! Rest in Paradise Chris Cornell 💕💔💕
I'm a CC fan, haven't heard much 7D but damn this is incredible!
You need to go listen to them. Their original music has this type of feel.
I will do that
I'm in the same boat. I have a handful of 7D songs on my playlist but looks like I'm gonna need to dive deeper.
Check them out bro! They have been my favorite band sing high school (2007)
Been listening to 7D for over 20 years dude. They are iconic, but not as well known as some of the other big bands. They are AMAZING.
Noone will ever do a chris Cornell song better than the man himself...but noone will ever make a cover worthy enough as this either 🤘🤘🤘 my two favourite bands versions of my favourite song. Can die happy 🤘
The multiple levels of nostalgia this brings up.....
I love sevendust for this. Two of my favorite bands
My skeptic brain went in unsure. But it never existed at all for 5 minutes. That 3 minute 7d head bump vibe stamped it with Lajon's soulful raspiness giving Chris's voice an hug. Yeah, I'm a fan
one of the best band ever covered by one of the bes band ever. Keep on rolling please!! Thanx!!
20+ year of amazing vocals, cant believe how amazing this sounds. the world needs to hear this!
Mad respect for this cover. Gone...but never forgotten, Chris Cornell is a legend
Much respect to both bands, two of my favorites. Nice cover, Chris would be cool with it I'm sure
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day
INCREDIBLE! CHRIS WOULD BE SO PROUD 🤘🏻🧡🔥🔥🔥🔥
Soundgarden and Sevendust are in my top 3 favorites of all time. This is a sonic treat in my opinion. Love it
It's amazing how some songs have such a deeper meaning with the gift of hindsight.

Soundgarden is by far my favorite band of all time. This cover is amazing. Very well done!!!
Massive Soundgarden fan here... Chris would be proud. LJ killed it.
This is my fav Soundgarden song and these guys absolutely hit it out the park! INCREDIBLE 👏🏻👏🏻 you did Chris justice
One word. Homage....Soundgarden is my GOAT..and these guys KIlled it!!! Been listening to SG FOR 30 years and it never gets old! Any of you Young Bucks who have dived head first in to there back Catalogue..Do yourself a favor
Hell yeah!! Legends covering legends...
Hands down, the best cover for The Day I Tried to Live.
One of the greats covered by one of the greats. Phenomenal cover.
This is awesome. Great job Seven dust. Cornell is jamming in heaven
I was extremely skeptical when I first saw this pop up, no disrespect to Sevendust at all, but Soundgarden has a special place in my life. I have to say, you guys did this justice, really cool!!! Thank you!!!!!
I just sink into the totality of this cover. LOVE!
This almost brought me to tears... You guy did this so much justice
I think we all needed this!Thank you Sevendust!!!!
There are only two things that could have happened here. This could have fallen flat on it's face. Resulting in lots of negativity. Or. Or what happened. The respect Sevendust gave this.
Thank you so much Sevendust for not destroying an incredible, iconic song by the greatest vocalist of my generation! You did this song justice... Love you so much for the respect you showed and still made this track your own. Special!
It takes incredible talent to take an already great song and make it your own. Yet another reason they are one of my favorites
What if a black girl covered it? This is all that I sing is rock.
I have to say I was blown away they did a great job 👏👏👏
Holy shit, I just accidentally came here from Soundgarden version and found the best singer of 2020. Please keep making Chris Cornell cover, man!(whatever you do now), I think that'll be awesome and much appreciated. Thx!
I don't know about you guys but these two bands are a part of my life growing up. This shit put me in tears of joy
i would listen to an album like this filled with masterfull covers!!!
LJ sang his heart out . A true and respectful cover of a great song. Chris Cornell RIP
LJ does a remarkable job with this cover!
Honestly Im not a Sevendust fan . But they did an awsome job on bringing this 90s classic back to life.
This is fantastic. Well done gentlemen. Especially u, Lajon 👏
One of the very few vocalists that can pull this off , nice job Lajon
Two of my favorite bands coming together in a monumental way. This is a justice-doing cover and also so uniquely Sevendust. I love them even more now.
Old school Gen X and die hard SG fan. WOW! This is better. 7D, you are awesome.
Damn, so good - RIP Chris, this song definitely does his memory justice
The more I listen to this one then go back to the original....I like this one more! More powerful vocals, and I can understand the lyrics better 😌
And the instrumentals hit harder
Imagine Chris and LJ together on this one. Amazing job guys.
On the background vocals, amazing
This is amazing!!! Nobody else but 7D could touch this.😃
nothing this band cant do, acoustic, hard, melody, covers and never the same thing twice, hell even this video is one of their better ones, crazy how good they are
And Sevendust amazes us again!!!
Damn good job guys! Blew my speakers up...all of them
Made my eye water. Unbelievable, my heart is on fire.
I'm in love with the lead singer!
You do NOT touch a Cornell song... except 7D .... wow
man they hit it out of the park with this
This is pretty good but I'll take the original over this. Have you heard this? ua-cam.com/video/9CrBqRb3VGM/v-deo.html
stone sour did it very well too
ua-cam.com/video/XZkOHqX1Sns/v-deo.html
Between the Buried and Me would disagree.
Operator would be the only other band that I think could pull of a Soundgarden song
Most pleasant surprise ever
We need more soundgarden covers
