TO JEW, OR NOT TO JEW?: SEVENDUST’S MORGAN ROSE
Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 1:43pm by Vince Neilstein
Several weeks ago marked a momentous occasion: metalGF’s first ever metal show. The show in question was Sevendust at Irving Plaza; I figured what better introduction to the world of metal shows than one of the best live bands on the planet, even if not the most brutal? She had lots of fun, methinks, and made some funny observations (among them a fascination with mosh-pit culture).
After the show, metalgf remarked on drummer Morgan Rose — whom I’d told her to pay attention to because, ya know, he’s awesome — “He’s jewish, right? He has such a familiar face.” And this is a question I’ve myself often wondered. After the jump we take a look at this burning question and examine the physical evidence.
Please reference the above annotated diagram.
1. The Jew shnoz. Note the hooked nose and elongated nostrils.
2. Big floppy grandpa ears. Self-explanatory.
3. Look at that shayna punim!! Don’t you just want to grab him by the cheeks? What a face!
All signs point to yes. The surname Rose could very well be the shortened version of Rosen or Rosenfeld, chopped down somewhere along the line to save good ol’ Morgan’s relatives from persecution overseas.
So what do we think? Does anyone with insider knowledge care to comment on this matter? Let the truth be known.

I’ve met a Shayna Hathaway, but never Shayna Punim.
You could ask him. You run a metal/sometimes hard rock blog. You’ve probably got some connections.
Kind of an awkward question, though. Not in the whole ‘religious’ kind of way, more like the ‘we don’t wanna interview your band or promote them, we just want to know if this guy’s Jewish’ kind of way.
Sevendust… brutal?
Is this the same Sevendust that gets played on the radio?
@grover: He said, “..even if NOT the most brutal…”
Haha… I totally misread that.
I have it from an unreliable source that a rose, thornes and all, is tattooed on his circumsized penis.
Weren’t you and I just talking about Jewish musicians in the metal scene at a weird burrito place near the Lit Lounge on 92nd Street like 3 weeks ago? Let’s just make a list, there’s a pretty lengthy list of Actors/Actresses on wikipedia; I feel a metal band (slightly oxymoronical if I do say so) Jew list would be excellent. Hit me up “Vince”
I’ve exhausted all mental resources in trying to give a damn about this.
