\n<\/a>Sevendust have been around now for over 16 years, released 8 studio albums and toured the world many times over.\u00a0 Through financial and label woes the band has survived to keep doing what they love, which is bringing music to the people.\u00a0 2008 saw the return of original guitarist Clint Lowery after 4 years away from the band and it now seemed with Lowery\u2019s return that Sevendust are back, almost revitalized in a way.<\/p>\n

Fresh off the release of their 8th studio album\u00a0\u2018Cold Day Memory\u2019\u00a0and currently on the\u2018Carnival of Madness\u2019\u00a0tour in the States, we were lucky to be able to chat to Lajon Witherspoon singer for Sevendust, who have just been announced they are heading back to Australia for the Soundwave festivals in 2011.\u00a0 We got to talk all about the newest album, the return of Clint Lowery and his undying love for Australia….<\/p>\n

Hi Lajon, thanks for taking the time to talk to us, it\u2019s a pleasure to talk to you.<\/strong>
\nAwesome, pleasure to talk to you, you gotta be kidding me man, it\u2019s definitely a pleasure to talk to you.<\/p>\n

Firstly congratulations on \u2018Cold Day Memory\u2019 which we feel is such a great returning to the Sevendust of old, just what was it that set this fire burning once again?<\/strong>
\nYou know with Clint Lowery coming back, I can kinda say long story short, I can say it\u2019s like you have this puzzle that you could put in a frame and show it to everyone but you know, we had it, we had the puzzle and we didn\u2019t put it in the frame but we still had it but now that missing piece is there so we put it in a frame and you can see it again, you know what I mean?\u00a0 It was still cool to show to everyone and it feels cool but I think that missing piece was the original band and that\u2019s what we have now and we\u2019re very happy.<\/p>\n

Not taking anything away from Sonny Mayo but having Clint Lowery back in the band seems to be a major influence in not only the bands sound but the songs on this new album.<\/strong>
\nOh definitely, not anything to take from Sonny at all, you know, he was great, definitely when you start a seed and it grows and that\u2019s the plant and I feel that\u2019s kind of what we had there and it was just good to have him back it was like he never left and he came back.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t even jam together for a little while, it just became brothers again just like \u2018what you been doin?\u2019 and listening to what\u2019s been going on in life and he just picked up the guitar and he played and that tone came out and his voice and my voice with John came out and he\u2019s like my Clint Sambora to my Black Jovi I say ha ha ha ha!\u00a0 You know what I mean in a silly way but the chemistry I feel was needed to be back and we did it man and it was a cool album to do together you know<\/p>\n

Well I\u2019m a big Bon Jovi fan so that was a cool reference ha ha.<\/strong>
\nOh yeah I like that one too ha ha ha hey let me tell you something, our old, well she started out as our merch girl, she was my neighbour Cindy and then she became our tour manager and now she\u2019s out with Bon Jovi actually working for them right now<\/p>\n

Good gig to get!<\/strong>
\nYeah if you want some tickets, I got you; just call me back dawg ha ha<\/p>\n

The recording process for this new album was captured and shown to the world via video on you tube and your website.\u00a0 What was the reasoning behind doing it this way where other bands may completely shy away from showing any imperfections that may arise?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know, I thought it was crazy to do it because you know I\u2019m always, well not just me but a few of us have always been the kind of the guys to be, I don\u2019t like to say mysterious, but I\u2019ll say shy to that type of thing.\u00a0 The idea came up and Rafa actually I call him Ralphie, that did the artwork and the video documentary, you know he\u2019s worked with bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed and really cool cat and just became a part of the organization in a sense and really it wasn\u2019t even like there was a camera always around, because a lot of the footage was even done by us with flips, so it got kinda natural and I\u2019m not one of the big guys on the computer and I don\u2019t like to do that a lot but to be able to see that and see the responses was so cool and we figured that man, we\u2019re doing something that is different and it\u2019s really cool, these people are seeing that we\u2019re real guys, we\u2019re not trying to live like no rock star, doing cribs, getting down and dirty and we\u2019re doing it for the reason we started doing this which was about the music you know and I feel like you get to really see that side of us, we\u2019re a hard working band, and I think that\u2019s cool, and I kinda get shy when the camera comes around, but we\u2019re real and we have a good time and I think its cool that the people get to see that.<\/p>\n

The one thing that we\u2019ve always loved about Sevendust is the melodic nature of the songs in the midst of a whole lot of heavy, how are the songs usually constructed to get this formula just right?<\/strong>
\nI like to sing, that\u2019s what I like about it man.\u00a0 I like to sing and I think I\u2019m very lucky to be able to be in a band with a bunch of singers, you know, everyone can sing in this band, I mean from Clint, Morgan, John, Vinnie, all of them can sing.\u00a0 It\u2019s very cool to have your brother sit there and sing something to you and he might say \u2018its not gonna sound cool and don\u2019t laugh at me\u2019 but damn you can sing, and its cool.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always been from the point that not everything should come from one persons point of view, we\u2019re all grown men and if anyone knows each other, we know each other, its family and if my brother beside me has a song or a thought, or something that\u2019s going on in his life that\u2019s made him cry in front of me and I know he cant get home in two months and we\u2019ve gotta deal with this together, if you\u2019ve got something to say, I\u2019m gonna sing it you know what I mean and that\u2019s another thing that\u2019s really cool about this band, its not a big ego thing when it comes to that.\u00a0 We started this for a reason and I feel like it\u2019s our destiny to finish it off together and we\u2019ve been very blessed if that makes sense.<\/p>\n

It certainly does.\u00a0 Now one of our favourites is \u2018Karma\u2019 are you all believers in Karma and has there ever been a time when Karma has come back and bitten you?<\/strong>
\nOh my god Karma whooo bust out man!\u00a0 I\u2019m the king of Karma my friend, oh my god, every day of my life.\u00a0 You know and I don\u2019t even know how to say it, you try to live right and you slip and you get off the beaten path and I think Karma is something that hits you every single time and it feels like you would learn so as I get older I try to live better if that makes sense ha ha ha yes sir, I\u2019m the King of Karma baby.<\/p>\n

How was it working with Johnny K as producer on this new album compared to previous producers such as Butch Walker and Shawn Grove?<\/strong>
\nOh my god, you just said Shawn Grove and Butch Walker!\u00a0 Ahh that\u2019s crazy!\u00a0 Let me see, Johnny K was so cool to work with man, but you know what Sevendust we\u2019ve done a few several albums without having a producer so we had a certain method that we went into with it, we wanted to really get in there and get this album done.\u00a0 I think what we really needed was someone to come in and really police.\u00a0 Kinda the things that were going on as there were so many ideas and I think Johnny was able to do that and have some great ideas and give us some suggestions.\u00a0 He was a really cool guy just to hang out with and just the other day we did like a little thing for the Atlanta Falcons and we were able to go to Johnny\u2019s studio and actually record again and to be back in that studio.\u00a0 I tell you what, it was 30 below zero the last time we were there and the other day we were there it was 100 degrees, outside I think the temperature was 104 ha ha ha so we got both extremes in Chicago but it was cool to go back in the studio.\u00a0 A band\u00a0Pop Evil, Johnny was working with and we just took a day and did a song and Johnny actually worked with us with the song and he was just a really good energy and so much respect for the bands he\u2019s worked with and a cool guy that we definitely like to work with again.<\/p>\n

Where the band shines is on the stage and we\u2019ve had the privilege of seeing you on your previous visits to Australia, the last time with Ozzy Osbourne\u2026<\/strong>
\nOh my god, I was gonna say, last time we were in Australia, and I talk about this like I\u2019m the big shit when I say it \u2018yes the last time we were in Australia was Sevendust and Ozzy Osbourne, take it, take it home\u2019 ha ha<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019re finally coming back in February for the Soundwave festival, what can we expect to see at these shows?<\/strong>
\nI will tell you what.\u00a0 This is what I\u2019d like to say.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna bring it, oh but it\u2019s already gonna get brought so you might as well say we already brung it because it\u2019s gonna get brought ha ha<\/p>\n

Ha ha I can\u2019t wait!<\/strong>
\nI can\u2019t wait either man, Australia to me man, now listen, I don\u2019t know if you know, I hope you take this and this is something that\u2019s really cool, but when you go into my theatre room, from the first time that we went to Australia, I bought the little Qantas plane that flies around in a damn circle.\u00a0 This thing is a jet and I would hate for it to fall off that string because it would probably break every album and TV in the downstairs, but it still hangs from the ceiling in the theatre room and that\u2019s the first thing you see when you go in.\u00a0 I love it man, Qantas plane and you guys!\u00a0 You know what, Australia is so beautiful and the people are so really cool to us and I can\u2019t wait to get back and my wife is mad that she\u2019s not going to be coming with us but we look forward to getting there.<\/p>\n

Are you going to try and do a sideshow for us while here for Soundwave?<\/strong>
\nOh yeah definitely, we\u2019ve just gotta make sure that happens man, we\u2019ve just gotta talk to the agency about all that and making sure that we come back, but we can not wait, you have no idea.\u00a0 This is a joke within the camp, from the first time we were in Australia when we walked from the hotel right there on the water you could see the Opera House.\u00a0 It\u2019s beautiful and the big bridge, oh my god you\u2019ve gotta be kidding me, and there was this man right on the water going back to the hotel and all he kept saying was \u2018Australia\u2026 look at the view, Australia\u2019. For years that\u2019s what we always say and it\u2019s so cool man, you guys are in our hearts always, you have no idea.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad that you guys are able to still make it down here!<\/strong>
\nYes sir and I can\u2019t wait man, you have no idea and I think the people there are beautiful, I mean I guess it\u2019s because you guys are in Australia, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on but it\u2019s just a good vibe man ha ha<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite memory from a previous tour of Australia?<\/strong>
\nLet me see\u2026 I tell you what, when we were there with Ozzy and the Grand Prix race was going on and I remember just being in my hotel and hearing the fast cars just all down the streets you could hear them.\u00a0 I was like, you\u2019ve gotta be kidding me, this is going on in the street?\u00a0 I remember more the shows were incredible, I feel like we\u2019ve been there before when we were there, the way that everyone accepted us, that\u2019s what I remember.\u00a0 I remember feeling like home, it was cool.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there\u2019s a whole lot of ink in, actually I should say \u2018on\u2019 the band, are you all collectors of different artists work or do you have a loyalty to a certain tattooist if so, where?<\/strong>
\nOh no, you know what, I\u2019m old man, and I\u2019ve had, let me see, I had Philip Lewis he\u2019s from New Zealand he actually did my chest piece and Tony Levis did my arm in Miami and a guy named Stu out of Fort Wayne Indiana.\u00a0 So there are not very many, but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m a loyal guy, but if I feel it, it takes me a long time.\u00a0 The latest tattoo I got is my wife and my newest baby on my arm and then probably I would think, 5, 10 years ago?\u00a0 It\u2019s been a long time since I got a tattoo, I have to be in the moment and I have to really feel it.\u00a0 Especially out here on the road.\u00a0 I tell you what I think it\u2019s tomorrow or the next day, they\u2019ve got a guy out on the road to come and do tattoos, they\u2019ve got like five guys coming down for Shinedown and I might need to hurry up and try and feel it ha ha ha.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your time, once again, absolute pleasure.<\/strong>
\nOh it\u2019s pleasure to talk to you man and I can\u2019t wait to see you, make sure we hang when we get to town alright.<\/p>\n

Will do, thanks LJ, see you soon.<\/strong>
\nThank you brother. Bye.<\/p>\n
