Learning the Maryland References

I've been a fan of Clutch since the late 90s. Unstoppable grooves, great jams, etc.

In the past several years I met and married a woman from Maryland. And damn, every time I travel to Baltimore, I seem to learn a new historical fact which is mentioned in a Clutch song.

I know... I know... It's very apparent to those from the Mid-Atlantic. They're from Maryland. Duh. But it's still fun for me as a native Midwesterner to have those "Aha!" moments.

Hi looking for friends!

Listen this may sound reallyyyy desperate but ya know, gotta do what ya gotta do.

I'm a teenager who does online school with interests/a music taste that typically someones dad would have plus social anxiety and being awkward. I was wondering if anyone here who is a teenager or knows someone who is a teenager (I'm 15 for reference) who would want to be my friend and has similar music tastes or interests. When i do make a friend online sometimes it wont go well obviously, not everyone will be nice or respectful.

Okay as i type this i sound like a loser, I promise I'm cool I just have no friends LOL.

I like collecting CD's, attempting guitar but I'm bad, biking, editing, filming, interviewing, and old tech. I love Sony camcorders (I have one of my own!) and i love call of duty black ops 6.

As for music I'll list some bands below.

  • Clutch (a BIG obsession)
  • Madball
  • DOWN
  • Bad Brains
  • Motorhead
  • Tree (the boston hardcore)
  • Kyuss
  • Tad
  • Do Or Die
  • Wu tang clan
  • Frank Zappa and plentyyy more.

Do i find this embarrassing? A bit but there's worse things in life i could be doing right now. Please don't make fun of me man 🙏

My friend from South America has no idea what horseshoe crabs are. So I sent him this and told him the ones at Jones Beach aren’t particularly vicious unless provoked or hungry. He’s now terrified of New York.

Does anyone know where this show was?

I haven’t really listened to Clutch if I’m being honest but, I found this video of a show that Clutch headlined in my hometown to be so fascinating to me. I was born in 91 so this would have been before my time, I’m just dying to know *where* in Bowie this show happened.

I did a bit of my own searching while at work but wasn’t able to come up with much, considering there’s probably some pretty hardcore clutch fans that hang out here I figured this could be a great place to ask on the off chance someone might have an idea or have maybe seen the flier somewhere. For context, the two openers were “Dunamis” and “Worlds Collide”. It’s unlikely many people will know but I’m determined to try and find out!!

Does anyone remember a fan-made video of '24 Earth Years' on YouTube?

Figured this was as good a place as any to ask, as we have some extremely knowledgeable people here who run very deep on Clutch history and lore...

​

Back in the day (a very long time ago) there existed on YouTube a fan-made video of '24 Earth Years'. As the lyrics progressed in the song, the video (really more like a slideshow) would cut to a picture of the thing Neil was singing about... a gnome, a cat, a woodpecker, etc.

​

There was also a very similar video by the same YouTuber (done in the same style) for 'Basket of Eggs'... so when Neil says 'eggs' It would show either a picture of a big white egg (possibly hard-boiled and peeled) or an actual basket of eggs.

​

(sorry, I don't remember this video as well)

​

I'm somewhere between 40 and 60% sure it was this YouTuber, 'Johnny Chopper' (handle: 'wretchedSTONER') who mostly posts Clutch videos. He has another video posted for 24 Earth Years, but it is ***not*** the one I remember.

​

​

Anyway, the main thing I'm wondering is whether anyone else remembers this... but the thing I'm ***really*** hoping for, is that someone not only remembers this, but also happened to save a copy of either of the videos.

​

They were both just so well done...

​

Thanks in advance. 🍻
