i went to see them way back in 93', and there were nothing but a bunch of hill-billy mountain skinheads there...it was an average show at best...lucky for me, the headliner was this little known band at the time Marilyn Manson, which totally rocked ass, especially when i hopped up on stage and hocked a lugie on manson

The older the better. Their first EPs were sick, then they decided to try and sell some records :disgust:

Haha, "decided to try and sell some records." Yeah, real big sellout band they are. Hahahah.

I never said they sold out, but I can see where you could think I assumed that. They took a 90 degree turn with their music for whatever reason. I think Jam Room is such a poor album compared to previous ones. Since then they've turned back about 45 degrees toward their early days with Blast Tyrant, which I really like. I'll have to check out Robot Hive / Exodus ASAP. How does it compare to the other Clutch albums?

The live shows are pretty rad, and it's amazing what kind of sound that little man's lungs can produce. Their drummer is pretty fun to watch, too.

I dunno, if I was buying a car for MY wife to drive, I'd still get a stick...she can learn!

I hate clutches that I have to kick into next Tuesday. I'm much more a fan of the modern sport clutches that feel like a push-button under your left foot.

I'm the opposite...I like clutches with a stiff pedal and good feel, and I'm not a fan of the wet-noodle clutches on most Toyotas and the like. Push-button=no control!

Elephant Riders is one of all my all time albums. They put on a great show too. I saw them co-headline with COC in 2000.

it's probably most similar to Blast Tyrant, but they added a keys players, so it's a bit more laidback/bluesy.

I've heard that Jam Room was for the most part an experimental record of theirs... but I haven't listened to it yet.

It seems kind of natural that they wouldn't release the same CD over and over throughout their career though. I dig their old stuff as well as their new.

Like davestar said, Robot Hive / Exodus is similar to Blast Tyrant and the key players give it more of a bluesy feel. Still plenty of rock and riffs though. :thumbsup:
