Per YouTube user "wretchedSTONER," the YouTube username of the guy who used to have the awesome "24 Earth Years" fan-vid was named "BongofKthulu" (actually "BongOfCthulu").

That user account is now closed, but this was the old URL for his vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7DVQSOlnQ


Apparently he did a lot of these:

Unreleased insturmental from the self-titled / elephant riders era. Enjoy. I have more unreleased tracks from clutch... search "clutch - unreleased"

Anytime, and thanks for the views. Clutch is great, it's important that all of their stuff, rare and common, goes noticed. There was a YouTuber named BongOfCthulhu whom uploaded much more "rare" material, but I believe he hid/removed all of it to avoid possible suspension.
