Chords for Neil Fallon from Clutch about his secret G.G.Allin 7 " vinyl, burning beards and comfort zones.

I was looking at a video and I found out that [C#m] your parents found your secret stash of Gigi [B] Allen 7-inch records when you were [B] young.
Yes, they did.
Please tell me about that because [C#] it made me laugh a lot.
Well, [C#m] a friend of mine [B] who had very strict [E] parents, stricter than mine, [Em] actually gave me this Gigi Allen 7-inch.
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] And I hid it behind a small amplifier [G] I had.
[N] And when my dad found it, I told [D#] him it's not mine.
Of course, it [Bm] sounds like the most typical lie a teenager would say.
And for once it was true. _
And I didn't have a turntable at the time, so I actually never got to listen to it, but I [E] got grounded for an [A] eternity.
But this would have been [C#] _ _ _ 1984, [B] there, 85 maybe.
[A] So I think [D#] maybe back then it was a [C#] bit more of a slap in the face where my [Bm] parents had no clue.
Maybe they [F#] have a little bit of a clue now, but_
You [F] described at one of your gigs, _ _ somebody [G] burnt their beard.
Yes, this is true.
Please [E] tell me about that.
We have a song called Burning Beard _ and we were doing a hometown show.
_ _ And I looked [G] out in the crowd and this person just kind of took this lighter and his beard_
Took it too literal.
_beard
went up and maybe they had been [A] drinking too because this thing went up [D] like a firework.
And then [E] started slapping his face.
And _ then I realized it was this guy that lived down the street from me, which is kind of unnerving.
[F] _ _ But [Dm] I think he's since moved.
[E] Did you ever talk to him about it?
No, that was a very uncomfortable thing.
We never ever spoke, never once.
But he came to the show and burned his beard, which was kind of [Dm] creepy.
That is a bit weird.
What kind of street do you live in?
Just a normal suburban [F#] quiet street with a guy who burns his beard [B] at my shows, I guess.
_ _ This is your first time at Wacken?
Correct.
_ And I think you find it intriguing to sort of go to places that maybe are not your typical audience for Clutch.
[C#]
How are you feeling about Wacken [Fm] at the moment?
Are you [E] excited about it?
Yeah, I [B] feel good about it.
You know, [G#] we do all sorts of festivals and [B] shows.
_ [Bm] _ Sure, this [C] festival is [E] decidedly more metal than _ _ some of them we play, but we've [F#] done this before.
_ [D] And I think it's important for any band to get out of their [E] comfort zone and not always preach to your choir.
[F] And it's good to feel a little bit out of place.
I think that can sometimes work at a band's benefit. _ _
_ But thankfully it's a beautiful day and we're just here to enjoy [A] it.
And what I find really impressive is that _ you've been, I think you [F] came together at 91 or something?
Yes.
So 25 years, [Am] it's the same guys.
Which [A] is unusual, especially when you look at the metal bands here.
There's so much people coming and going.
The sum is greater than the parts for us.
I don't think you could replace any one of us and end up with the same recipe, really. _
_ And I think it's all about being on a journey [D#] and just seeing what's around the next corner.
It's a family and there's good times and bad times and sure there's arguments.
But for the most part, _ _ we're very lucky to be able to say that it's the same four guys for 25 years.
Absolutely.
What are your plans for the future?
Are you recording a new record?
We are more or less touring until the end of the year.
We've got shows booked up until December 31st.
[D] At that time [D#] we'll take some time off.
And I think next year is when we'll start the phase one of writing and recording demos
and _ _ thinking and working on the next Clutch record.
When that'll come out, I don't know.
But we'll start working on it. _
