Sevendust Treat Fans To Metal Mayhem

Paul Gargano of the Hollywood Reporter was on hand for the Sevendust concert at the Sunset Strip House of Blues on Sunday night (February 26), as was Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Gargano writes, “While the crowd’s response never waned through the 80-minute set, it reached a fever pitch on numerous occasions, most notably the opening shards of ‘Black’, the manic savagery of ‘Pieces’ and the aggravated assault and battery of closer ‘Bitch’. Throughout, frontman Lajon Witherspoon took command of the proceedings with charisma to spare and vocals to match, his metal verses laid to waste by R&B-flavored choruses and a vocal range that puts the vast majority of the genre to shame.” Reuters.com has since removed the article.
