NEWS: Seether are the newest addition to the 'Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame' Exhibit
Seether are the newest addition to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's popular exhibit "Right Here Right Now". Through the use of personalised artifacts and interactive panels the exhibits take visitors on an journey through the minds of some of the worlds biggest names in music which would normally not be seen by the public up close.
Seether frontman Shaun Morgan expressed what it means to him with Seether joining the exhibit, "Growing up on a pig farm in South Africa, I had many dreams of being a 'rock star' in America, something that was deemed impossible at the time. I clung to the dream even more tightly with every comment from every naysayer, and after many years, shows and numerous different bands, the impossible became a reality in 2000".
"It is such an incredible honor to be recognized by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and to be included in an exhibit amongst so many incredibly talented musicians, many of whom inspired me as a young boy. I feel so humbled and grateful for this opportunity that it is difficult to express. This is a huge milestone for SEETHER and is by far one of the most important highlights of our career."
Seether was formed in 1999 in Pretoria, South Africa, first adopting the name Saron Gas under which they performed until 2002 when they moved to America and decided to change the name to avoid confusion with the deadly chemical known as sarin gas. Our last memory of seeing the band in South Africa, before exploding on the international scene, was at Roxy's Rhythm Bar in Melville, Johannesburg.
The band gained popularity in 2002 with the song "Fine Again" which peaked at #20 on the billboard top 100. In 2020 the band released their latest album latest album, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" ("If You Want Peace, Prepare For War") which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Hard Rock chart upon its release and the album's lead track "Dangerous" topped rock radio at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks, the band's 16th No. 1 hit.
SEETHER's new display, features items covering the bands 20-year career, including Shaun Morgan's signature green acoustic guitar, his "Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces"-era red-and-black sweater, handwritten lyric sheets for SEETHER hits "Broken" and "Dangerous" and a setlist from 2005's "Karma And Effect" tour (typed with handwritten notes).
