Song is about the singer for the band Snot. He died in 1998 and was a beloved member of the metal/punk/alt community. There's a compilation album that was recorded in his dedication featuring a lot of famous metal artists, and this track was one of them. RIP Lynn Strait.
"Denial" was their big hit back in the day. It hits super hard. My sister downloaded this (Angel's Son) back in the Napster days and I think I've had a copy of it stored somewhere ever since.
I had the privilege and honor of seeing this song live right before Lajon walked backstage for a phone call and found out his father in law had passed away. Came right back on stage and sang this song. So emotional and such a great song.
Angels Son is a true heart strings song … the first time I Saw Sevendust live .. grown men in the mosh pit found dirt in there eyes after a very emotional acoustic performance… it is a time and place song … one day Polo it might find your heart strings
I tear up everytime I hear this song.. Actually loved the old video that was for this song- was of many people from different bands meeting on the beach around a bonfire to say bye to Lynn.. loved listening to the band Snot- Lynn Strait.. They had some fun songs you should check out too- Snot, I Just Lie, Stooped, Get Some.. Too bad you thought it was sappy- hits different when you know who he is singing about.. but thank you for the reactions..
Definitely, that is a completely different recording, this was their album release version. The original, acoustic version is far better in my opinion.
I saw these guys live in the late 2000s on a hot ass August day in Council Bluffs, IA. Lajon opened the song with a tribute to Lynn saying that "he is with us right now y'all!" For that one song, on this scorching hot day, a cloud rolled in and it lightly rained. Cool, refreshing rain on a crowd of 20000+ during just this song. A tribute to Lynn Straight that I will never forget...
Sevendust is known for a heavy, powerful, and distinct sound. This was the wrong song to still introduce you to this band. Almost any song off of their first album is a BANGER, but I would recommend either "Too Close to Hate" or " Bitch" for your next listen. You won't be disappointed. 🤘🤘
My favorites (off the top anyway) are My Ruin (off the same album as Black) and "Beautiful". They have a pretty large catalogue so you'll get a mix of amazing amongst the average, but overall they're great. They're one of those bands you appreciate even more after seeing live. I saw them in Dallas at the house of blues at one of their first concerts back after the rona and the emotions were insane - almost the whole crowd was in tears during this song after they re-dedicated it to everyone who was lost during the pandemic.
I like the OG version before Sevendust made it like "their song" i mean it's still the same song just a tiny bit different PLUS the video of the OG is Awesome RIP Lynn Strait .. PLEASE check out the OG video
I worked for Sevendust back then. Morgan’s Tech. The night we got news of Lynn’s passing was one of the worst you can imagine. I don’t know how the guys got through the set. The Snot guys were super close. Bless Lynn and Dobbs!
I remember a different video though, they were on a beach around a fire at night. And I think I remember the silhouette of the musician it was in honor of.
This song really hits hard for those who have lost someone close!!! 7DUST met Snot here in Denver. And evry time they play here, they do this one. And every time Lejon has tears running down his face!! You should check out the Beach scene version!!
This might be Lajon's greatest vocal performance. I've loved this song for almost a quarter century and it's on my favorite 7D album, Animosity. There are so many great live acoustic versions of this on RUclips and if I'm alone in the car I will sing the living fuck out of this.
I still dont understand why people suggest these, deep-ish tracks for a rookie to review, there are at least 30 songs I'd suggest before this one, not that this song is bad, it's just not something you jump in with.
When you watch a video of Snot and see the love he had around him? 😢❤ RIP Lynn Strait. Drunk Driver killed him and his boxer in 97-98. Man we was free then. I feel for this young generation, caught up in the drama with so little time. ✌️
Ok you deserve a sub for not liking this song. I really really dig this song and it’s message. Everyone’s taste is different and no one likes every song they hear. This is the problem w nearly all music reaction videos-the reaction is always very positive and they love the song just like they did the other 300 songs. Bunch of fakers lying and pandering to boost their channels. Of all songs for you to say you didn’t like it, this would be the wrong one if you were insincere for a token dislike. That adds to the authenticity of your reaction. I appreciate your honesty, tact and respectfulness here. Thank you.
Man, I've been a fan of this band when they were still calling themselves "Crawlspace" and I tell you now...if you want Sevendust songs that you will want to bang your head to while driving, you owe it to yourself to listen to these songs based on your preferences of build-up, pace, vibe, etc: Shine...Splinter...Memory/Faithless (first briefly builds and intros into the second)...Decay... There are so many good songs but these I would recommend above others for you and I'm confident you'll have a great time. Salud!
To get the most effect out of this you should listen to the original "Straight Up" version. It was made with Sonny Mayo of the band Snot, as part of a memorial album for their lead singer who had just died in a car crash. The video is a lot more emotional, featuring all their friends holding a beach memorial for him. Also the guitars are a tiny bit heavier which I think gives a bit more impact.
I have always been a fan, saw them back in 2000 I think, man I feel old, they look so young! This song took on new meaning when I lost my G-Lady, and it has helped with other losses through the years.
I have a friend who is a drummer and he told me he read an interview where this drummer said his doctor informed him that every show he plays is equivalent to a 35 MPH car crash, because of how hard he hits. He's had numerous surgeries over his career to remove bone spurs from his heels. Bro is a machine gun but it's a tank on the kick drum.
Sevendust also known for their Atlanta Falcons love and they have a song and video called Falcons on Top. used to always put it on before games to get pumped up .
Sorrow by Sevendust ft Myles Kennedy. Softer song but the vocals from Myles (man can hit the long higher notes, singer in Alter Bridge) are impressive. They're touring together right now Other amazing tracks from 7D Waffle Face to face Bender ft Chino(Deftones) Enemy Suffocate
Polo I am surprised you're not more of a fan of this song, but to each their own of course. I would like to recommend, yet again, a band called Parkway Drive from New Zealand. They are just out of high school kids singing about their heritage and the indigenous people of New Zealand the Māori. I think you will enjoy it without question.
One of my favorite tracks from Sevendust is "Risen". It's a track that immediately kicks you in the face with energy and is a great track for blasting in the truck while driving around with the sub under my seat :) You'll probably like it man!
To truly appreciate this song you would have to understand what James Lynn Strait did in his short time on this earth. Who he was to those who knew him. Why they wrote this song. Why so many big artists were in the video. What he and his band Snot were pioneering in the early 2000's was something special. I truly believe that his death set music back and we're just in recent years getting to where it could have been.
I recommend Bitch, Trust, Crucified, and Shine. Or if you ever do an album review, Animosity is their third album and one of my favorite albums, period.
@coreywickramasekera9968 You are correct. There is 2 videos for different versions. This one and one featuring Sonny Mayo of Snot, which is the video you're referring to. Sonny was also the lead guitarist for Sevendust for a few albums while Clint was working with Dark New Day. It is def the better version for me!

Straight Up, I have the CD.
I have so far been unsuccessful at getting a Snot reaction. Let's do it Polo! 👍
Start with Stoopid. 🤘
@@billyoliver4000IP to Lynn and Dobbs, that album saw HEAVY rotation in my disc and and CD player summer of 98 “I JUST LIE JUST TO FUCK YOU!”
love the Korn song from that album
Divided with Brandon from Incubus is awesome to.
Sevendust doesn't get enough respect. The Sevendust Family is amazing and the band is amazing!🤘🤘🤘🤘
"Denial" was their big hit back in the day. It hits super hard. My sister downloaded this (Angel's Son) back in the Napster days and I think I've had a copy of it stored somewhere ever since.

The song is amazing but that video version is so emotional.
Sevendust Waffle next please. Their live performance on Conan O’Brien is amazing or studio version.
I love Waffle (and waffles)
Same. Waffle and that whole album was great!
“Denial” and “Waffle” will get you back on the let’s break things bandwagon … ring foot down radio knob up 😊
They're known for having bangers. This is their biggest hit song in public.
One of the greatest live bands ever.
I saw these guys live in the late 2000s on a hot ass August day in Council Bluffs, IA. Lajon opened the song with a tribute to Lynn saying that "he is with us right now y'all!"

Praise, denial, rumble fish,splinter,enemy,face to face,pieces,suffer, all heavy song from sevendust
Sevendust is known for a heavy, powerful, and distinct sound. This was the wrong song to still introduce you to this band. Almost any song off of their first album is a BANGER, but I would recommend either "Too Close to Hate" or " Bitch" for your next listen. You won't be disappointed. 🤘🤘
For some great Sevendust hit Denial, Waffle, T.O.A.B., Praise, Rumble Fish!

In the early 2000's my cousin died in a car crash. This song was the pin in my memory for him.
Respect for the honest take. Waffle is by far my favorite Sevendust song! 🤘
Love your honesty! And btw, most Sevendust songs will hit you in the face like the first reaction you did to them.
Agreed. Any track from home is what youll want.
Man, this song still hits me in the feels. They closed with it when I saw them around 2002.
Snot is one of my al time favorite bands R.I.P LYNN
It’s SO PERFECT!!
R.I.P. James Lynn Straight and Dobbs. I was 16 years old. Their vibe was so bad ass. You need to listen to Snot now. 😂
I like the OG version before Sevendust made it like "their song" i mean it's still the same song just a tiny bit different PLUS the video of the OG is Awesome RIP Lynn Strait .. PLEASE check out the OG video
Slloooooowww cry going on for this one!! Next week monday marks the anniversary of my dead best friend!! Thanks for the video!! Drama free love!!
This has been my funeral song since day 1. Always hits me right in the feels, one of the most emotional songs ive ever heard
I worked for Sevendust back then. Morgan’s Tech. The night we got news of Lynn’s passing was one of the worst you can imagine. I don’t know how the guys got through the set. The Snot guys were super close. Bless Lynn and Dobbs!
I remember a different video though, they were on a beach around a fire at night. And I think I remember the silhouette of the musician it was in honor of.
I first seen & met this band with an old friend of mine when attend huge car show in Charlotte, N.C when they released their 2nd album.
Thank you for doing more SEVENDUST!🔥 Feel free to explore more anytime!
This song really hits hard for those who have lost someone close!!!
7DUST met Snot here in Denver. And evry time they play here, they do this one. And every time Lejon has tears running down his face!!
You should check out the Beach scene version!!

Thanks for this. Time fly. Not the good persons (and animals). Even good songs still remains.
Great song and very emotional tune for the band of course
I still dont understand why people suggest these, deep-ish tracks for a rookie to review, there are at least 30 songs I'd suggest before this one, not that this song is bad, it's just not something you jump in with.
"Enemy" "Gone" "Decay" "All I See is War"
The "straight up" album version of this song, I feel hits Harder than their own studio version. It's just more gritty and raw.
When you watch a video of Snot and see the love he had around him? 😢❤ RIP Lynn Strait. Drunk Driver killed him and his boxer in 97-98. Man we was free then. I feel for this young generation, caught up in the drama with so little time. ✌️

I love your honesty, man. So very appreciated.
Its the tune that you listen to if your listening to the whole thing but never deliberately speak it out to play
Definitely the song my ruin by sevendust is awesome
Death Star🤘👊 killer track by Sevendust
Let's GOOOO! Do "denial".
I think it gets better the more you listen. But to each their own.
Sevendust - Home. That'll get you back on track Polo. Trust.
Don't sweat it man... We're all here for your honest reactions. Fair enough Polo
His voice is so wild oh my jeeze.
Man, I've been a fan of this band when they were still calling themselves "Crawlspace" and I tell you now...if you want Sevendust songs that you will want to bang your head to while driving, you owe it to yourself to listen to these songs based on your preferences of build-up, pace, vibe, etc: Shine...Splinter...Memory/Faithless (first briefly builds and intros into the second)...Decay...
There are so many good songs but these I would recommend above others for you and I'm confident you'll have a great time. Salud!
The "Beach" version of this video is waaay more poetic and powerful.
This song brings me back to days spent with my best friend, who is no longer a part of this world... But memories, and his daughter remain.
Tour bars around here (IMHO best shows are smal ven.). Most seen in conccert band) if you don't tear up a bit listening you're not human.
The song Bitch or Terminator from the first album is amazing. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've always have had much love and respect for this band and it's members. They're just flat incredible!💯🙏💛☯️🌞
To get the most effect out of this you should listen to the original "Straight Up" version.

Thank you for this, I thought I gaslit myself thinking this version wasn't the one I remember from when I was a kid.
I remember buying this CD. It’s really good. From Corey from Slipknot to System of a Down singer Serj.
To close to hate, Bitch, Denial and Waffle were bangers by them and worth reviewing each one.
Such a beautiful song and tribute to a lost friend. Still makes me cry every time.
Saw them at Speaking Rock in El Paso, Texas, several years ago. His wife's grandfather died during that show. He dedicated this song to him...
I have always been a fan, saw them back in 2000 I think, man I feel old, they look so young!
This song took on new meaning when I lost my G-Lady, and it has helped with other losses through the years.
Another great Sevendust song, I'm going to see Sevendust for the 3rd time this Saturday.
My favorite Sevendust song is "Trust". You should review it. Amazing tune
Just a heads up this song is more poppy than most of there songs. Your initial reaction to Sevendust is what you will hear in most of there songs.
This was a awesome song when it came out and still is 7 dust never got the recognition they should have
Love your honesty Polo ❤. Listen to the song trust!
Listen to the band Straight Line Stitch. Alexis Brown is a rock goddess.
TOP 5 Recommendations for 7Dust 1.Denial 2. Bender (feat Chino) 3. Follow .4 Decay 5.Licking Cream
I have a friend who is a drummer and he told me he read an interview where this drummer said his doctor informed him that every show he plays is equivalent to a 35 MPH car crash, because of how hard he hits. He's had numerous surgeries over his career to remove bone spurs from his heels. Bro is a machine gun but it's a tank on the kick drum.
Sevendust also known for their Atlanta Falcons love and they have a song and video called Falcons on Top. used to always put it on before games to get pumped up .
Underrated band
Great honest reaction…I’d agree…but “Bitch” is a choice especially for the 4Runner!
RIP Lynn Strait!
Denial ...or my favorite ...FACE TO FACE !! super under rated band love them
So good. So so good.
yep
I’ve seen a few people mention it, but Denial is more along the lines of the sound you enjoyed
Sorrow by Sevendust ft Myles Kennedy. Softer song but the vocals from Myles (man can hit the long higher notes, singer in Alter Bridge) are impressive. They're touring together right now
Other amazing tracks from 7D
Waffle
Face to face
Bender ft Chino(Deftones)
Enemy
Suffocate
Polo I am surprised you're not more of a fan of this song, but to each their own of course. I would like to recommend, yet again, a band called Parkway Drive from New Zealand. They are just out of high school kids singing about their heritage and the indigenous people of New Zealand the Māori. I think you will enjoy it without question.
I am so sorry...i said Parkway Drive and meant Alien Weaponry. I was between posts and made a horrid mistake my apologies
One of my favorite tracks from Sevendust is "Risen". It's a track that immediately kicks you in the face with energy and is a great track for blasting in the truck while driving around with the sub under my seat :)
You'll probably like it man!
The bon fire video is more touching. There is actually an entire album of group’s working together called straight up in tribute for the snot singer.
I remember sevendust use to have a set of twins groupie chick's that were at every show
RIP LYNN STRAIT!!!!!
Another hard hitting song is Praise, more in the style of Denial .
I gave you a like, even tho I was bit disappointed you didn't like the song all that much ❤ Keep being awesome
RIP Lynn and Dobbs
"How can I give a review for this and still be respectful?" Proceeds to laugh and joke about his review and call it "sappy."
They JUST dropped a new track a week ago!! It’s called “Everything” 🖤
This songs meaningful af.
Waffle .. Face to Face .. Denial. That’s where you’ll find the vibe and energy you felt in Black 👍
Denial ,the skeleton song, seasons are good songs
To truly appreciate this song you would have to understand what James Lynn Strait did in his short time on this earth. Who he was to those who knew him. Why they wrote this song. Why so many big artists were in the video. What he and his band Snot were pioneering in the early 2000's was something special. I truly believe that his death set music back and we're just in recent years getting to where it could have been.
No hate on Angels Son but not what Sevendust best imo.
It’s only Lajon with the boys from Snot. At least originally. It does sound like it’s been redone.
I don’t know if you’re already covered it, but my favorite Sevendust song is waffle
Honest reaction appreciated... now check out "Denial" or "Waffle" from Sevendust next.... peace.
I recommend Bitch, Trust, Crucified, and Shine. Or if you ever do an album review, Animosity is their third album and one of my favorite albums, period.
I remember this song and video was a tribute to a musician that passed. I don't remember who.
Lynn Strait, the singer for Snot. It's in the video lol
@@SleeepyJohn I actually remember a different video, with them around a fire at night on a beach ⛱️
@coreywickramasekera9968 You are correct. There is 2 videos for different versions. This one and one featuring Sonny Mayo of Snot, which is the video you're referring to. Sonny was also the lead guitarist for Sevendust for a few albums while Clint was working with Dark New Day. It is def the better version for me!
@@SleeepyJohn Cool 😎 thanks, I thought I was losing my memory, I'm not THAT OLD!!!
Hope you can get to my April 5th dono requests. One of the songs I listed was Sevendust Denial. Think you will love that one.
Sevendust Waffle it's where it's at
Either the song Bitch or the song Wired both great tracks
Desertion is a good song of theirs.
