My name is Neil Fallon and I sing for Clutch and you are watching 3 .MAG.

We started off as a high school band.

We were a band, I mean, I got into it by default.

I mean, I wasn't academically excellent.

I certainly didn't have any sports skills.

But I liked listening to heavy metal and hardcore and punk rock and I gravitated towards those people.

And then, like most teenagers, you want to start a band and emulate the bands

that you like that's what we did

and then we just wanted to play shows and started playing shows

and I you know for years thought that this

that was something I was going to do before I got another job

because you get told over and over again by your parents

and teachers the people around you have fun while it lasts

because it's all going to come crashing to a halt

and I bought that for a while in hindsight I wish I hadn't

because once I realized that yeah I can do this you know

and And maybe there'll be some dire times where I'm living hand to mouth, but once I kind of put that up as a goal,

it became a lot easier to deal with those times that were shitty.

There are bad days in this job, but I'd rather have bad days in this job than great days and a job that I just saw as a job,

because this isn't a job, this is fun, this is a passion.

And I'd rather go to my grave having done something I love than something I didn't.

Well, I was pleased with the record as soon as we were done with it.

I knew that we had made a good record, but it really did some wonders for us,

and especially overseas and it was pretty gratifying considering

that we put the record out on our own record label and we charted.

Not that that's ever really a concern as a band

but now that we're our own record label now we kind of pay more attention to that kind of stuff.

So that was pretty gratifying and this is probably the first record

that we've played every song off of pretty regularly right off the bat you know a lot of other records

and songs just never see the light of day we've got we're gonna start slowing down on the tour

and kind of wrap up our official support of the earth

rocker I mean clutch is always going to be on tour

so it's kind of I don't know it's it's not as if we're gonna stop touring we got Australia in February.

We've got England and some European festivals in the spring and summer.

But for the most part this summer we're going to concentrate on writing the next record

because I think we've got a lot of good momentum and we want to capitalize on it.

We don't really think about it too much.

We just kind of follow our collective gut instinct.

And I think it's sort of a reflection of where our heads are at at the time.

Earthrocker we did talk about quite a bit beforehand and I think

that helped and we'll probably do the same this time around.

But really it hasn't changed much since 1991

and just basically going into John Paul's basement and playing riffs until we find one that we like.

That's the secret.

Well I think a lot has changed industry wise

but one thing hasn't changed and that's That's just people's desire to hear good music

and don't get distracted with all the peripherals that people seem to put on pedestals like social media and getting,

you know, likes or whatever.

At the end of the day, live music is supposed to be played in front of people and you've got to do it.

If you're not doing that, then really, I don't consider you to be a band.

and you make your mistakes you have a crappy shows

but you keep on doing it and you'll learn a lot

and you won't realize it until you say hey I've actually gotten somewhere and get in a van

we've grown up together we've learned a lot together there's been feasts and there's been famine and

when we were on major labels

and we got dropped we did what we always do and that was just go back out on tour and play, because that was the one thing we knew we could do and no one could ever change,

even if it were for a very small crowd.

I think now that I'm older and I realize that I'm doing something creatively for a living, that I get to write rock and roll music and perform rock

and roll music and really those are the only two things that I'm kind of required to do, I realize how lucky I am, because I I know a lot of guys that would love to do

that but can't for whatever reason or just tried

and it never happened for them and to have the same group of dudes doing

that together is a pretty rare thing and I've really come to appreciate the position that we're in.

Well I think nowadays if there's one thing

that kind of strikes me it's just how many bands it seems like is out there now.

I don't know if there's always been that many bands, it's just you can reach them now.

I would hate to be a band now, trying to come up, because it's just so many other distractions, other bands.

People talk about genres, and people's attention spans, I think, are shorter.

I remember, you know, there was, and it's probably the same in this town as in any, there was that one or two record stores

that you had to go to if you wanted a punk rock or a metal record or a hardcore record.

You drove there, and you held your $20 in your hand, and you pulled your hair out making a decision.

Now, you download 80 hours of music, and you might listen to half an hour of it if you're lucky.

You know, it's great that you can reach your fans directly, but it's almost an embarrassment of riches.

There's just so much shit out there.

Some of it great, most of it terrible.

It just takes a lot of patience to sort through it all.

But at the end of the day, one thing hasn't changed and people just want to go to a nightclub and listen to rock and roll and drink beer.

It's really quite simple.

Well, we had a very kind of, and we still do, compared to some other bands, a very smaller fan base, but they're much more rabid.

We never had a radio hit to deal with, and thank God, because that would have really fucked us up.

and it took longer to build up this fan base

but I know they're diehards

and we feel obligated to you know obligated to do our best every night for these people

because they could be doing something else and as far as Australia

and the rest of the world goes you know people do bitch about file sharing

and I understand that I mean great

if everybody had to buy a clutch record you know might be able to renovate my bathroom

but the fact of the matter is file sharing I know

when file sharing started that's when Clutch's Joe's got a lot bigger

and those translated to merchandise sales you know we were never gonna make our money off of platinum records anyway

because I mean look at us we're ugly

so people got came you know heard of something for free that they quote unquote stole, then they came to the club.

So it worked out alright for us.

Our biggest show this year was in Athens, Greece.

We haven't sold a single record in Greece.

No, I'd just like to thank Clutch fans.

I mean honestly 2013 was the best year this band has had in 22 years.

We've seen and done and accomplished things we never thought we would

and it's because of clutch fans because

if they weren't here we wouldn't be here i'd be doing some something horrible i know

100

so thank you it says no story behind it i think we like

101

we like prong and we like the sound of

102

that name there's also a local band called swizz

103

and we like the name of the sound of

104

that name we were into the monosyllabic one word uh band name at the time

105

and I think we intended to change it but we just never got off our asses and did that.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
