AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Also, they make most of their cash from touring, so GO SEE THEM LIVE. You won't regret it. I've forgotten about more concerts than most people have been to, and Clutch is always one of my favorites.

i definatally am trying to go, i've got a ticket to go see them in grand rapids saturday, buuut, i'm stuck in ohio with no car. one of my friends might come get me though, who knows.
i do belive the band makes most of their money from touring too.
i'd guess that the band is also the one who leaked the album you know? they are definatally a band thats about the music and fans. they've had tons of oppertunitys to go "mainstreem"

Their music isn't mainstream. They are too hard for radio play, not hard enough for metalheads. They are funky, but not laid back enough to quite qualify in that department. They are bluesy, but hard.
The fact you can't define them hurts their mainstream acceptance. Listen to Shogun Named Marcus, and then listen to Gravel Road or Who's Been Talking. Its like two totally different bands. Then listen to Careful With That Mic and you'd be totally confused if you weren't a Clutch fan.
Their concerts are all almost pure metal though. Last time I saw them they tossed in a few of the more laid back songs like Who's Been Talking, but for the most part its a thrashing pit the entire time. Even songs that aren't that hard on the album become hard when Neil starts screaming out the lyrics.
Funny tidbit for those who havn't seen them live yet: Neil has one of the deepest, biggest voices around, but he's like 5'6", tops. It's like an oompa loompa singing Barry White.

some of their songs have gotten radio play, i've heard a few of them on the radio.
but yeah, my roommate is trying to tell me that clutch sounds the same... i'm like yeah that statement can't be farthest from the truth. listening to like... tight like that and then going to elephant riders or the incomparable mr. flannery then look at instermental stuff like crackerjack Compleatly different i was like dude, its different he's like "it all sounds the same"

The only thing that really connects all of Clutch's music is the fact they use a lot of bass guitar, ala great funk bands like Parliament, and they always have great storytelling lyrics.
Aside from that, the tone of the songs changes a TON album to album.
The Elephant Riders remains one of my favorite albums ever.

agreed on Elephant riders being one of the best albums ever.

Ye all their songs deff don't sound alike.. I need to pick up some more of their albums..man i need to buy some new music period, i bought a Ween album like a month ago and that was the first one since probably the last cky album... It's just so hard to find good music that's worth buying..
Anyway I'll deffinatley be picking their new stuff up and probably grab atleast one of their other cd's while there seeing how i only own one of there albums..
if i could only pick 3 bands to listen to for the rest of my life
Clutch
Dropkick murphys
Sublime
i've been listening to clutch nonstop for like 2 days stright now. but it think the new album but not even really paying attention, the new album will really get its test on the road in the car.
