Biography

Neil Fallon is the lead singer and occasional rhythm guitarist for American hard rock band Clutch. His beard has existed in several forms over the years, and he notes that at times he has "gotten rid of it for some reason." [1] He and Clutch played at the in Washington, D.C. as early in their career as 1991 [2], and bandmate Jean-Paul Gaster appeared in the documentary ''930 F Street'' about the history of the club [3]. Neil is known for his harsh, raspy, and deep vocal style. Neil writes most if not all of the bands lyrics. Clutch's lyrics, at first angry and serious in tone, had by the time of 1993's ''Transnational Speedway League'' become characterized by intelligence, wordplay, and often humor (although comedy is not usually the focus). Their songs make frequent reference to history, mythology, popular culture, and religion—for example, "I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth", from their self-titled album, tells the story of a fisherman who discovers the corpse of Lincoln's assassin in the Susquehanna River, and ''Jam Room's'' "Release the Kraken" inserts a hero called "Useless the Younger" into the movie Clash of the Titans. At other times the lyrics contain some very surreal imagery, as in this quote from ''Robot Hive/Exodus's "Burning Beard": "Every time I look out my window/ same three dogs looking back at me. Every time I open my windows/ cranes fly in to terrorize me."
