Sevendust’s Lajon Witherspoon Says The Band Were “The Odd Man Out” In The Nü-Metal Scene

During an interview with Metal Hammer, Sevendust singer Lajon Witherspoon talked about coming up amid the nü-metal wave in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He said the following about that:

“I didn’t necessarily think we were nü-metal. We were just these guys from Georgia that popped up on TVT Records, and all these other cats were hanging out in California. They had a certain chemistry with each other, and we were kinda like the odd man out and had to prove we could whip ass. So that’s what we did and stayed in our lane. There wasn’t that kind of camaraderie at the beginning, but over the years, we became friends with everyone.”
