I haven't seen Dez since he was in Coal Chamber, the last time we hung out he had this killer wheelchair weed, and could roll a joint like a champ.

I got so baked I couldn't move.

We ate a whole box of Captain Crunch and watched bullriding for an hour on the bus...

Not sure why but Dez felt compelled to work out his driving fingers during our shoot. I had them for literally 5 minutes before they went on stage...

Everytime I asked him to put his middle fingers down he laughed...

I'd put my camera down and he would put his hands down, then the second I put the camera to my face he'd throw his fingers up again. It was like shooting a 6 year old...

I added a few Devildriver pics to Music Port I as well..

My weekend was essentially spent hanging with the kids and shooting Sevendust...

I documented the bands day on 8.07.09, it started with me following Clint, John and Lajon to the radio station for an acoustic set.

I was told by a resident DJ that the station was a bomb shelter @ one time. It was the size of my closet, and smelled like a hospital...

After the acoustic set the band did a meet and greet with fans and the USO (soldiers from Fort Drum) they followed that with a soundcheck, before getting started the building was cleared and everyone was asked to leave with the exception of a chosen few.

They played two new songs (the band doesn't want the new material leaked, so all cell phones were turned off and if you got caught talking or recording while the band soundchecked, Yoshi dragged you out of the venue by your ears)

The new tunes were killing.

Shot em' again on 8.09.09, I'll publish some photos from 7dust later in the week...

Also have some Hatebreed snaps I'll put up...

Here's a few from my shoot with God Forbid...
