wonderful stuff well i'm gonna i'm gonna kind of follow your lead in a bit in the you know uh if you listen to this podcast you'll know that one of my favorite bands is clutch and clutch released self-titled in 1995 now i'll be honest i didn't get into clutch Until the early 2000s, around the time that Pure Rock Fury came out.

Yeah, that was the first I heard of Clutch as

well.

Yeah, but look, obviously in the UK, Clutch hit their peak in the 2000s.

2010s, really, in terms of where...

That's a weird thing to think, isn't it?

You know, they're almost like the ultimate picture of a journeyman band, aren't they? Oh,

We'll start with a Friday.

So you've got Death Leopard, Slash with Miles Kennedy and the Conspirators, Whitesnake, Clutch, Blackberry Smoke, Tesla, Last in Line, Rob Zombie, Eagles of Death Metal, Opeth, Deadland Ritual, Delane, Cavell Attack, Skid Row, Goodbye June.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Real Big Fish, The Interrupters, Zebrahead.

Like, there, you've got distinct stages.

Yeah, it's very One Horse Town.

Well, they've literally got a song called One Horse Town.

Then we watched Clutch.

I love Clutch.

then we went all ghostly firstly with a little thing called ghoul wrangler by clutch it's off the 2020 release monsters machines and mythological beasts then the song ghost by slash from his very first solo album released in 2010 it's called slash it features a number of different guest musicians Ian Astbury is the lead singer on this one.

He's best known as the frontman for the English rock band The Cult.

Then we rejoined Clutch for another song called Ghost.

You'll find it on the 2004 release Beast Tyrant.

And this last tune came from the masterful Massachusetts singer-guitarist Gary Hoey.

Here's a good one.

The self-titled album Clutch from the band Clutch.

We're talking about Clutch.

We're talking about the Drifter

Returns.

I love that song.

I love it.

That's what I love about Clutch.

There was conversations about going to see Weezer.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be going to see Clutch except that Erica bought the tickets as a surprise gift for me, speaking that she is.

We still want to...

There's a possibility of going to see Gwar... with um max sabbath and honestly the thing preventing me from buying tickets for that other than it's a school night and like you know and like debating whether or not i want to take my kids out of school though after the day i've had i don't see why we could just we just take our kids out of school for no good reason now because we want to spend time with them so whatever you know yeah i don't want to get into it that's a

Yeah, that was what the nice thing about going to Rockville was.

I got to see Helmet.

I got to see Clutch.

I got to see Biohazard.

If not, go back, listen to that first.

We talked about Blast Tyrant by Clutch.

A lot of similarities to this band, to this album.

I'm sure that we'll get into that a lot tonight.

Versus first episode.

Wow.

Which means that Clutch's Blast Tyrant was

our 300th

GarageHour.

I'm not ready to do an entire episode with Clutch.

Although, that would be just fine.

Or we could do an entire episode with a shock absorber.

Cars, trucks, beers, and guns.

Car parts are great.

There's a band named after one called Clutch.

If you like blues, rock, southern fried, fusion, you'd probably like Clutch.
