Careful with That Mic...

Clutch frontman Neil Fallon wrote this ribbing of rap-rock without ever intending it to end up on Pure Rock Fury. Released as a single, it became the band's most commercially successful song to date peaking at #24 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. Speaking to us in a 2013 interview, Fallon said: "I never thought in a million years that song was going to end up on a record. Other people liked it, and I actually was kind of dragging my feet, and said, 'No, because people are going to read this the wrong way, saying that you're trying to do rap rock,' where I was just kind of taking the piss. That was done for fun." (Here's the full Neil Fallon interview.)
