I love how positive LJ always is. The dude glows.
He is a legend and I am so thankful to have been a fan since the early 90s
I was a kid when my brother and I met the band early 2000s. They changed my life and I dove into music. Lajon checked on us personally a few times joking around. They treated us like we were their kid brothers. It was a rad experience. Vince put my family under his guest list because it was a 21+. A barricade made a barricade just for my family for insurance purposes. Such awesome guys man. My father was stunned his kids were hanging out with one of the bands he heard all the time on wfnx. It is one of the best memories I have.. blessed for real. 🙏 Thank y'all
Lajon is an awesome soul ! His energy is great! Fan since 98. Whole band is a great influence. This interview is great to see. Also, couldn't think that a man with that voice with his band could be so energetic and all this but it's great to see. Very humble man. Just damn, this is cool to hear after all these years where I was a FSN but didn't dive into them this deep and seeing him speak as I age is really refreshing if im being honest. Good vibes. Thank you metal injection crew for reaching out to him and accepting this band is iconic. Fantastic band. Super tight. Very inspirational etc. Thank you! Keep up thr great work yall !
Lajon is such a likeable guy. Now I'm teary eyed. Beautiful human being
Die Hard Fan since 1997. I was 14. Now I am forty with three sons that are 13, 15, 16 and they are die hard fans. Family reunion for sure when we go to 7D shows. When I was a kid I made my mom a fan. The last thing we did together was a 7D show.
Love this man, love this band, my fav band ever hands down!! Nothing but love and respect for these guys!
I can’t imagine to be like you….the pain and suffering you put me through.
22:38 as a Brazilian fan, I'm very happy about LJ's statement. All of the guys from Sevendust are humble men, and surely one huge factor of my admiration for them 🤘🏼🎶❤️🇧🇷
The only band I've seen that smile when they play live 😄
what an amazing guy, what an amazing band. i grew up on these guys
I listened to them so much they are my sons favorite band too and I have seen them like 10 times and this fall will be my sons 3rd. My kids even had Lajon send my a birthday wish video last year. Best gift ever.
Wouldn't it be fun to meet Lajon at a bar, order like 10 pitchers of beer, and just listen to him talk? What a stud
What a very touching interview, so inspirational. Sevendust rocks 🤘
My first interview I’ve watched with LJ. Mad respect! He is so positive and emotional and… human. So respectful and truly amazing.
Lajon and the boys really out did themselves with this new album. My favorite in the past decade.
He looks 35, not 50! ❤💎🎵
I’ve been a huge fan from the beginning. I love Jesus Christ more than anything and Sevendust is that band despite the content I don’t feel convicted about loving them. The song LIVE AGAIN is my favorite and God still uses it from time to time in my life when I’m down. Ive met them and I own all their albums. I’ve own autographed guitars and pics a total nerd. I love those guys and I pray for them.
Bruh, Im in tears seein LJ breakdown. My dude is so humble. 🤘🏻
Man, I love the 7D story.
Love love love this band.
LJ is such an awesome dude! Very emotional and not afraid to show it! 7D4L!
New album out today, and goodness gracious, it's incredible.
The Sevendust story is just as good as the Sevendust sound!
This was so great. Thanks Frank and love you LJ. Thank you for all the music and such love and humility. You're one of the best human beings I've ever seen.
If you have e been following them from beginning, then you would know everything they have been thru and still stay tight and keep coming back harder. That's why I love and respect them!
Fan since the Self Titled. Love Sevendust. Have had the pleasure of seeing them earlier in their careers. Amazing
What a beautiful soul! Keep going guys!!
Amazing vocal
The almighty SEVENDUST! 🤘🏿
this guy is awesome
Lajon is one of the coolest dudes ever, always been such a huge fan.
Speaking of Brazil, it would be awesome if Lajoon knows Sepultura band and if knows Derrick Green the vocalist.
It would not suprise me if they do . I would say some where in history they all meet up and had a Jam !
Every time I've seen Sevendust, members of other bands were on the side of the stage. I can only assume those dudes were taking notes on how to put on an amazing show!
Just ordered the new album! ❤
Thank you LJ 🙏😢Great humanitarian 🙏
The most amazing dudes in the entire music business! ❤️🤘🏻
Y'all came along way
LJ a good dude
Where in the world is Lajon walkin into that he feels awkward in?!?! Anywhere in LA I guess lol
When Sevendust opened for Alterbridge you could easily tell that sevendust fans are loyal . Sevendust may of had the smaller fan base this show but I can tell you for a fact their fans were the loudest and most loyal fans
I love seeing those s 2:20 2:20 ***I love to be in y'all's thing
I love seeing those s***
"I'm a terminator" ... Best lyrics EVER
Coming to end your life! Never would have known but I was working with Vinny the bass player before that 1st record came out. Always been my favorite 7d song
