Who here is a Clutch fan? LOL

[NINJA]

I have every one of their albums and became a fan when I first heard 'Impetus' in 1999. Honestly, I feel that Robot Hive/Exodus was their best album. 10001110101 is a masterpiece of a song. If you really read into the lyrics and think about them, they have double if not triple meaning. I'd have to be stoned for a solid year to write the lyrics to that song and I myself am a poet. That song is very prophetic lyrically in the sense of the way technology is headed.

Clutch is awesome. The first ep with Impetus/Passive restraints/High caliber consecrator was the first thing I had heard from Clutch. Then I saw them with Marilyn Manson at a tiny ballroom in Tulsa, OK in 1995. Their lyrics are absolutely unique, as is the music. Warning: HEAVY would be an understatement.

Probably my favorite is spacegrass

lyrics:

Dodge Swinger 1973, Galaxy 500,
All The Way Stars' Green, Gotta Go.
Dodge Swinger 1973, Top Down, Chassis Low,
Panel Dim, Light Drive, Jesus On The Dashboard.
T-Minus Whenever It Feels Right, Galaxy 500.
Planets Align, A King Is Born.

Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right

Dodge Swinger 1973, Top Down, Chassis Free,
Buzz Aldrin, Armstrong, Or Maybe Just Me.
Don't Worry, It's Coming.
Don't Worry, It's Coming.
Jesus On The Dashboard.

Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
I Turn On The Radio.

Hey Kid, Are You Going My Way?
Hop In, We'll Have Ourselves A Field Day.
We'll Find Us Some Spacegrass,
Lay Low, Watch The Universe Expand.
Skyway, Permanent Saturday.
Oh, By The Way, Saturn Is My Rotary.
Hop In, It'll Be Eternity
Till We Make It To M83.

Once Around The Sun, Cruising, Climbing.
Jupiter Cyclops Winks At Me, Yeah, He Knows Who's Driving.
Hit Neutral In The Tail Of A Comet.
Let The Vortex Pull My Weight.
Push The Seat Back A Little Lower.
Watch Light Bend In The Blower.
Planets Align.
A King Is Born.
Dodge Swinger.
Jesus On The Dashboard.

Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right
Whenever It Feels Right

But if you ever get ANGRY!! listen to the song Binge & Purge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmVbCXGLkFQ

I've been known to yell the lyrics to Binge & Purge at the top of my lungs while on a drive..

[NINJA]

LOL hell yeah, Spacegrass is an awesome song! I have many fond memories that go along with that one. They keep that one in the jukebox at the local pool joint.

[wisconsinite]

yup, clutch rocks.

[David komatina]

Clutch effin rules yeah!

[code200k]

wow.shows how young i am,thought you guys were talking about clutches vs automatics lol

[newrider3]

Woo, great thread. Listening to Pure Rock Fury just as I stumbled upon this thread, definitely in the top 5 greatest bands for myself. Can't really name a favorite album, except to say that I don't own Beale Street, or Strange Cousins. The later stuff is still great, but the period between the self titled album and Pure Rock Fury, as well as Pitchfork and Slow Hole to China definitely win the most. I scored this a while back, great to crank whilst in the garage (mostly because that is where my only turntable is though)...

If you really read into the lyrics and think about them, they have double if not triple meaning. I'd have to be stoned for a solid year to write the lyrics to that song and I myself am a poet.

Neil Fallon was an English major in college, hence the mythological and theological references in so many of the songs (or he's just a lyrical genius).

Well, being a longtime listener and enthusiast of Clutch, I'm leaning toward the conclusion that Neil Fallon is a very intelligent man and a lyrical genius. Clutch is definitely a thinking man's band.

Hell yeah, I am a fan of Clutch. I am not a big fan of their newer albums, but is interesting nonetheless. I like how Neil Fallon uses so much figurative language in his songs, makes you think. I am usually listening to it when bombing around with Newrider3, driving, going to the junkyard(s) or now. Favorite albums would be Transnational and Pitchfork. Listening to Wicker from Pitchfork & Lost Needles. Newrider turned me on to it. Thanks Danno!

LOVE Clutch, I've seen them 7 times. They are touring soon with Black Label Society...Nov 5 in Grand Rapids Michigan. New and old it all rocks..."could have been a butterfly but was born a dragonfly"

Cool thread NINJA! Most of us were products of the 80's and early 90's music. This is a thread high-jacking if it's o.k.? Post grunge (early 90's), what was some of you guys favorite rock? The one that I like that was big, post 80 (early 90) music that I really got into was Fuel, hemorage, and shimmer. I really didn't listen much to anything in the 90's, little bit of offspring and greenpeace early stuff I spose'.

[fabiodriven]

Clutch is the bees knees.

[Mosh]

I love Spacegrass...

We have some real holy rollers that come into work with all kinds of religion strapped to thier dashboards, and the fish on the bumpers...
Every time he screams that, it makes me laugh.
