The Rockvine recently interviewed Sevendust’s Clint Lowery and Morgan Rose. They talk about everything from planning set-lists to Chris Daughtry and the little things in between such as Clint playing the songs that he wasn’t part of during his time out of the band.
RV: How has the tour been going and how have fans reacted now that Clint’s back and you’re on the road with the full band?
MR: They’ve been reacting great. I think that we gained a handful of people when we were apart. I think everybody kind of let the plan and let the band do …read more

Not Sevendust trash talk this time…just reporting. Live-metal.net recently conducted an interview with Sevendust frontman Lajon Witherspoon. Sevendust, if you recall were supposed to be on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour this summer but have pulled out. Lojon Explains.
Live-Metal.net: So you’ve got this tour in the spring. I know you stepped off the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour. Can you say what the summer plans are gonna be yet?

Metalsuck.net recently got an update from Iron Steel Guitarist Tommy Reid. The “Super Group” (I hate that cliche) is made up of members from Sevendust, ex-Megadeth, Chimaira, and Skid Row.

The Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour kicks off in july and will run through August. The shows will play 30 North American Amphitheaters. Topping the bill will supposedly be Slipknot and Disturbed, both of which are supposed to have new CDs out this year. Last time I heard nothing was set in stone for Slipknot. Also rumored to be joining the bill are Mastodon, Dragonforce, Walls Of Jericho, Sevendust and Suicide Silence.
