oh my bad dude

i love clutch, theyre very math rock/ funk ish
if you like them check out the dillinger escape plan, daughters, the locust, some girls, heavy heavy low low, or the number twelve looks like you.
most of those are more math metal. but there arent really many math rock bands i know of.

Wow, maybe it's just me, but I don't see the relationship between DEP and Clutch. Sure, they both sound great, but when I hear Clutch, I hear bluesy rock. Yeah, they get pretty heavy sometimes, but not nearly metal.

I'm going to see Clutch next month. Anyone know if they put on a good live show?

I have heard they arre very intense. A good friend of mine has seen them several times. He only has good things to say.

I saw them at Bonnaroo two years ago, and they were ****in' phenomenal! If you dig 'em, you'll definitely have fun at the show. I'm going to see them, too in Charleston next month. Where you catchin' them at?

Des Moines. In a small venue that requires to flights of stairs to get into a crowded bar that always smells like cat piss.

Nice, it sounds like a winner. Regardless of the hot piss stench and the sweaty bodies you have to rub up against just to watch a good show, I LOVE small venues. It's so much more personal than standing on a big ****ing hill a mile away from the stage. I used to go to this venue that was pretty much a garage. There was no stage, most of the time, it sounded like ****, but I loved it.

I saw Clutch for the first time when I was 14, they opened for Corrosion of Conformity. Bad ass show. I've seen them a couple times since then, at Sounds of the Underground 2005, a local show in 2006, and Bonnaroo 2007. I'm a bigger fan of their newer, bluesy stuff than their old-school Nu-Metalish early days. Neil Fallon's (the lead singer) vocals have evolved a lot since then.

that they have, if you listen to their first record and then their newest one, it still sounds like Neil, but with a different inflection.

Transnational Speedway was a great album. Definately the only Clutch album I like.

Really? Not even Robot Hive/Exodus? I thought that album was Clutch at their best.

I have heard it, didn't care for it too much honestly. It seems like they have some scattered gems here and there, but as far as full albums go, Transnational Speedway was the only album I was inclined to spend my money on.

Overall this is a pretty good band. I would see them live if they came through town.

Huh, after all this talk how crazy they are live, I must admit this video had me scratching my head.

I got to see them live last year and they still rock out like there is no tomorrow.

Huge fan of these guys

yeah they're good live, but not in the sense where the whole band's jumping around and doing crazy acrobats and stuff. they're great live in how tight they are

O...I see...

at first i didn't like PRF and thought the same, but now it's one of my favorite Clutch albums


anyone like their Elephant Riders album?

i like the title tracks to both. i have to agree with the post you quoted though. PRF is the weakest clutch release i've heard. i'll have to pop it in again to double check but overall meh.

Jam Room and Beale Street are my default choices.

well i meant that at first i didn't like it, but now i love it. it's more of a jamming record than seperate songs, so it kind of takes some time to get into it

I agree. Terrible, terrible video, but their performance is still great. It's the quality of the sound and footage of this camera. Also, I disagree with you, Antonio, they are definitely the type of band that's got me dancing the entire show. At the show I attended, there weren't people just standing around - everyone moved. I've found you another video, adidasss:



I must say, Neil puts on a better performance WITH his beard. ;)

i've never seen them live but i get the impression they're very much a jam band on stage. either you get into their groove or you get out of the bar until they're done. the overall video footage quality may vary but whatever, the music still rocks. that first video is testament to this - recording a live band with the built in mic in your camcorder = BAD IDEA.

Ok well, I've been trying to give them some more attention recently so I've listened through 3 of their albums, Blast tyrant, From Beale street...and Jam Room. I like Blast tyrant the most and Profits of doom has been stuck in my head for the better part of the day but I haven't managed to maintain an interest throughout an entire album. The songs all just start to sound the same after a while...plus, I've noticed some repetitiveness...:\

Still, they're my new go-to band for work-out music....http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...power/uteg.gifhttp://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...ower/utezi.gif

yeah there is some overlap. i mean 'one eyed dollar' is on both jam room and beale st haha. i agree that they can sound a little repetitious but how many rock bands aren't? they're great to listen to when you're doing other stuff.

well if you like Blast Tyrant, you should check out their other album, Robot Hive/Exodus. a lot like Blast Tyrant, with more bluesier elements

impetus <3

Yeah I have it, I'll give it a go. I'm not diggin the bluesier stuff though, I like them for the raw power and funky metal. :\

god this thread made me realize how into Clutch i really am haha

If you wanna hear them at there peek, in MY opinion, listen to Elephant Riders and listen to the Soapmakers off of that...i effin love that song

it's my most played Clutch song ;). Elephant Riders ftw

I'm going to have to disagree with both of you, and stick with Robot Hive as their peak. :D

well, i see it as their blues-rock peak. Elephant Riders and Pure Rock Fury imo are their hard rock/alternative metal peak

Any of you guys into The Company Band?

I love the EP, can't wait for the full-length.

So, your video doesn't work, so I think I fixed it. I didn't know about this band, but will definitely check into them!

P.S.
Whenever you post a video from youtube, click on advanced post, then the "Wrap [youtube] around selected text" button on your toolbar. Then, go to the url of the video and copy and paste only what's after the =. I don't know if there's any other way to do it, but that's what I do, and it works for me. :)

Wow, I'm an idiot. I was putting the entire URL inside of the youtube tags. Thanks for the heads-up.

Clutch is fantastic. I'm a huge progressive rock/metal/indie person and Clutch is one of the only bands that I still listen to that's just pure rock at it's finest.

No problem and welcome to MB. Did you make an intro thread?

I give Blast Tyrant a slight advantage over Robot Hives.

Yep, but it was over a month ago and no one really saw it, haha.
