CLUTCH Frontman Revisits 'Blast Tyrant'

[@andresperez1151]

Greatest front man for the greatest rock and roll band in the world!!!!!

[@PaddyByrne931]

One of the best band ever, both live and on record, can't wait to catch them live again

[@CliffMoten]

There’s a reason I go see Clutch pretty much any time they perform within 3 hours of me! They never disappoint and are AMAZING live, so much energy and awesomeness!

[@ericwarner3150]

I heard the same thing, then I went and saw them once and it was horrible. The worst concert I have been to. Don't know if they had a bad night. Talked with a guy who had been to many Clutch at this show. He said they are normally great but tonight they suck. Maybe I should give them another try.

[@amandaredd3057]

Blast Tyrant is absolute perfection

[@TheRealKarlis]

My love of Clutch is infinite, but I am no expert. I can't believe people ask them to sound like the old days, when they sound very much the same in many ways. It's hard not to when you have the same 4 dudes in place for all these years. (With the exception of Mick Schauer for a bit.) Plus, their live shows mix it up so much, how can you possibly draw a line between new an old? Fact is, you can put on any Clutch song from any album, and almost instantaneously identify that you are listening to Clutch. I, for one, celebrate their entire catalog. And, we don't need no time machine! Half of the pit in SLC was 50+ and doing just fine. Keep em coming. Sunrise on Slaughter Beach is amazing!

[@rockrenegade]

They expect them to have stuck to the TSL album sound even though Neil doesn’t have the angst for it. They’re the ones yelling “Binge and Purrrge” from the crowd.

[@phaseashuss39]

'Neil, "I think people would surprised how many bands that Steve Jobs is in ." what a quote from the band that is 100% real

[@VinnyMickeyRickeyDickeyEddy]

Buddy found a tape of self titled in 1998 in a Hess station parking lot and been a fan ever since. Loved their evolution over the years. As they matures as men their music matured too, and I thinks that’s awesome and real.

[@roarlien2356]

Excellent. Just pure brilliance. Thank you for this. So much to relate to. The creative nervous breakdown. The feeling of hearing Clutch for the first time. Of seeing them live in the late 90s. The way the music made me feel. Neil is spot on here.

[@Joefaf104]

Had the great pleasure of catching Clutch at the Ryman Auditorium this summer. Perhaps the most iconic venue in the US and got to see my favorite band.

[@andymelendez9757]

The distinction to be made lies in the question ‘Is it still music?’ With these guys it is. They’re doing what they do in the moment.

[@StevenBatis-eh7gs]

I live in a part of the country that we rarely ever get to see Clutch and most people have no clue who they are. Saw them once and my second opportunity I was sick and in the hospital. Don’t exactly remember how I stumbled on this band, but definitely a big fan ever since.

[@amandaredd3057]

Neil!!!!!!!! Cluth is amaze-balls ❤

[@lucyfuir6386]

I recorded them live from front row in Attleboro MA with my dv camera February 14th 2004. Neil played to the cam several times.

[@motorteeth]

I think the positive reception to Regulator and subsequent divergent musical styles in Clutch's songs really speaks to the longevity of clutch and how they nailed the growth and tastes of the fans themselves. I found clutch at the beginning and as I grew older and grew/changed as a person they grew and changed with me. Every new albim was able to speak my language at that moment in my life. Every album has been awesome from day one until now for different reasons.

[@billyhughes9776]

My favorite Clutch record -- I can listen to it almost anytime.

[@erinpitman8246]

Was able to see Clutch twice the past wknd. Detroit, then Chicago. Great road trip with my wife! Clutch delivers in a way that few bands can. The sets are different throughout the tour, and yes, their sound and writing have evolved while staying true to themselves. They did play The Regulator both nights, and it was interesting to hear on this interview how they took a chance on that one. 20 years later, and it's still a fan favorite.

[@jefferson808]

Saw them twice on this tour. Some of the best shows I’ve ever been to.

[@davemieze9021]

Thanks for this. What an album what a performance

[@Henni63]

Was that Maiden? The Stranglers did that in a dutch music tv show. It's here on YT and it is absolutely awesome.

[@jbuzzo1]

Thank you Clutch. Love this band. Love this album.

[@desynchonosisdragon9108]

Just saw the 20th anniversary tour of Blast. Amazing show.

[@SilkyForestMoose]

Clutch kicks so much ass. The more I hear from Fallon, the more respect I get for him as an artist. He’s taken a lot of risks over the entirety of Clutch, and has made a very distinct identity for the band. It’s super cool to see a band work as hard as Clutch does and each album having just a completely different feel.

[@memphis1316]

Just took my sons to their first Clutch show. 20th anniversary of Blast Tyrant and they performed the entire album. Amazing

[@roundbadge2]

Was watching the Cleveland concert, had to leave during Worm Drink for a family emergency. Hope to catch them again next year but it won't be the Blast Tyrant concert.

[@BuddhaBlurbs]

I ran into these guys in Toms River New Jersey .. Never saw em live . Have some albums . Like em ... But I think Neil Fallon is one of the most underrated lyricists in heavy music ...

[@thadood4373]

I wish they would do Ghost live. My favorite on the album. And La Curandara

[@krischanlive]

Best rock band in the world 🧡

[@ndowroccus4168]

Ty clutch…for deepening my love of rock And jacking me up when needed

[@jacosaw]

Neil is very wise man

[@JoshScandlen]

5:00 I think people would be surprised at how many bands Steve Jobs is in." Now that's funny as hell

[@cherrytreepermaculture756]

Their greatest album IMO.

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

Had some serious concerns regarding family. Yeah, the gang had their heads on straight...still do. As far as the album is concerned? "Regulator" was & still is the hook. Many thanx all around 👍👍

[@gladiator22666]

My favourite Clutch album 👍

[@griselame]

When dads rock harder than youngsters :) Clutch is always a great live band. Their last album wasn't as great as the last three (IMHO) but it still is a worthy listen

[@peterjohansen3853]

When i heard Clutch the first time it was from a cover CD from Metal Hammer and the track was When vegans attack and i was blown away. Finally something fresh and new. Today i own all the albums and love everything they ever done😊😊.

[@SimonChinook]

The Maiden show where they totally fucked around was in Germany I believe.

[@tinyhammers]

IIRC, Iron Maiden's drumkit fell over mid song on Top Of The Pops.

[@sunpeaksturner]

No offence Neil ..but this interview was boring…! Blast Tyrant..is a fuckin masterpiece 🔥🔥

[@paulkruger491]

Swinging pendulum.
