Neil is the Bob Ross of rock lyrics. He paints a complete and vivid picture and makes it look easy.

[@paulkruger491]

Best drummer going. He's fantastic.

One of the best C! interviews I have ever seen. Thoughtful questions and answers. Bravo to all involved!

[@mtlhead420]

This band cares more about their fans than any other band I follow. They have always been fan first.

[@SpookyApparition]

Blast Tyrant is one of the best "hard rock" albums of all time and I can't wait to see them play the whole thing in October!

[@raoulduke8003]

My all time favorite band! And no one rides a cymbal like JP!

[@wwilliams74127]

What a great interview! Thank you so much.

[@badseedfx]

Holy shit I was AT that Clutch and Life of Agony show! Crazy I still listen to both bands even today.

[@dannyradford1466]

I'm going to echo some of the other comments - great interview, some really well constructed questions. Great questions get great answers. Thanks for this.

[@lucyfuir6386]

Been a fan since 98. Jumped on stage in rhode Island 20 something years ago shook all the hands. Filmed a show on valentines in Attleboro 04.

Not currently my favorite band but I spent more time going to Clutch shows and listening to Clutch records than any other band. I don't think Blast Tyrant is their best album by any stretch. But I'm glad they started taking off and making money. Clutch is a band you don't skip when they come to town. Good for Clutch. Transnational will always be my favorite release by any band. Nothing sounds like it.

[@wilfordbrimleypranks]

This is the reason i often see them two or more times on each tour. They always change up the setlist significantly, and they have so many great songs they can easily do this

[@raoulduke8003]

I've taken my daughter to 3 Clutch show so far.

[@crickethooks5342]

Good job! Love the stories, great interview!

[@sharpandstabby2690]

Great interview 👏👏👏

[@RockYourBrand]

After 21 years of asking for Clutch to play at Bloodstock, I can't believe its actually going to happen! Great interview.

[@willadkins7328]

Great interview. "In the wake of the swollen goat-"

[@rkoutz]

Loved this !

[@gladiator22666]

Clutch ….best band in the world 👍

[@mattjones4285]

Love the 9:30 club hat.

[@meganm.8693]

I wish i could see them more. Was at only 2 Wisconsin shows. So awesome.

[@BrocandRollOutlaw]

THE KINGS ⚡️

[@mrgbs7168]

J.p. one of the best. Clutch roams with the giants. Aint no venue at odds with clutch.

[@Noblesavage77]

Pure rock fury 🤘🔥🤘

[@Baloothepibble]

For me… it was the old music channels at the end of dish tv. I heard Guild ofMute Assassins and Red Horse Rainbows. Never liked back . Only band I love more is Alice In Chains.

[@tradecraftaudio1833]

JP gracefully let it go, but I won't. 24:27 "Pass the Mic." Come on, bro. It's Clutch, not the Beastie Boys.
