Beard Of The Day - May 14th - Neil Fallon

by McClure on May 14, 2009 10:06 AM CDT

Today's beard comes in the form of Neil Fallon, vocalist for venerable Maryland southern-fried metal band Clutch. His signature baritone voice is truly a force to bear witness to live, particularly given his diminutive stature. Additionally, he has the versatility to switch back and forth between wailing at the top of his lungs to rapid-fire stream of consciousness beat poetry, to demonic growl, often all in the same song. Mastodon fans in the readership will also recognize him from the final verse during the breakdown of "Blood and Thunder", where he lent his vocal stylings. And most importantly as far as this running bit is concerned, his beard is truly epic.

As an added bonus, Clutch has a song entitled "Burning Beard" on the album Robot Hive/Exodus, which we respectfully present to you now. Enjoy.

Occam's razor makes the cutting clean

Clutch has been a longtime favorite band; I discovered them when I was in the Navy and saw them touring with Killgore Smudge around ‘96. I love Clutch albums because I get my metal, punk, funk, soul and rock fixes on one disc; very convenient! And that beard is truly the greatest beard in all of rock, if only for Niel’s dedication to it.

Well, I’ve been appointed to tell you
Your days are numbered…

…Round ’em up, skin ’em alive
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rawhide"

Totally unrelated to Clutch but...

… are we going to have a post today listing the pros and cons of the two teams we could be facing in the finals?

I nominate SportsGal for the task.

I cite an amendment to the “Who smelt it, dealt it” rule.

Aw man!

That’s so much work. No one wants to read what I think anyway!

We have a couple of them already...

in the Fanpost section.

But that of course doesn’t mean we should miss the literary stylings of our head bloggers on SCH. Hopefully one of the boys will throw one up…maybe as a game thread for the DET/ANA game 7?

I know

I’d definitely be around to comment on the game tonight if there were to be a game thread for it.

If there isn't a gamethread here

you guys could always join the discussions at Winging it in Motown and Battle of California

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

I’d suggest BoC.. I’ve never been involved in one of their game threads but I imagine they’re more like the ones we have. Motown has a no cursing/no fun rule.
