Any Clutch fans here ?

I think the closing 25 seconds of Yeti is equally glorious...those little snare trickles that JP has nailed...gives me chills every time :)

Absolutely. JP is the man.

They launched into Yeti at a Raleigh show and it just ignited the place. The energy was insane. My son and I were upstairs leaning over the balcony watching the craziness.

That same night, they opened their encore with the most raucous version of Marcus....great night.
 
All Clutch is good but I would say sarting with Blast Tyrints on is all really awesome. What they have done is be able to keep changing over the years with there own style while still always sounding like Clutch. I've seen them 4 times over 15 years and there are a tight band that doesn't disapoint,

Drink to the Dead brings chills every time I hear it and is the unofficial song of 3rd Special Forces Group's fallen brothers. I play it every time I go to the Green Beret Club, and drink a shot to my brothers.

Good choice for your comrades :)

There's some insanely good bass drum work in that song, just before each verse kicks in...you know, just before "when knee deep in catnip..." etc
 
Ordered this a while back. Only got s/t and slow hole on vinyl, sadly.

Gave Jam Room a good start-to-finish listen today for the first time in ages. Man, there's some mighty C! goodness tucked away on that disc. The lyrics to Big Fat Pig, the extra percussion that litters the whole thing, especially during Release The Kraken, JP's jaw dropping fluidity...forgot what a great album this was. It's often cited as one of their 'weaker' works (if there is such a thing), but it's just blown my roof off :)
 
Jam Room is wholesome goodness. Gnome, Drifter, BOE, Pictures, Raised by Horses, etc. When I got it, I didn't stop playing it for months.
One Eye Dollar is a favorite live...and I agree that JP's work is monumental...I love his playing towards the end of Raised by Horses.
If you've ever driven through Virginia on I-95, you'll get Super Duper.

Jam Room is a hidden treasure for sure. Good call.

I've immersed myself in this record last couple of days. Can't believe I let it slip by for so long...

So what else is illegal, as well the radon detector? (I don't like cheating and googling lyrics!:))
 
Haha gotcha :)

I'll tell ya what...just when I think I've got a favourite lyric, he pops up with another one.

I've had 'pull the bog-man from the peat, stand him up on both his feet' in my head for weeks...now I can't stop blurting out nonsense about Simon the super scientologist, Jason the freemason, Norman the Mormon and Mr Patrick.

Damn, his lyrics never sound dated and continue to inspire.
 
I love Clutch, I only have 'Clutch' and 'Robot/Hive/Exodus' at the moment though.
On another note, I discovered that the drummer in the jazz band I recently joined loves them too which means coercing our guitarist and saxophonist into becoming one of us. One of us...

'Crackerjack' and '05' have some really nice trombone (I think?)work.
