Neil Fallon, lyricist, singer, and rhythm guitarist with riffmeisters Clutch has organised a special online auction of rare and sought after rock ‘n roll memorabilia to benefit the Innocent Lives Foundation, of which he has been a member of the board since 2017.

Based in the United States but working globally, the ILF is committed to helping children by unmasking anonymous online predators and aiding law enforcement to bring them to justice. Through open source intelligence gathering, the ILF create dossiers on possible child exploiters by searching the Internet for information and scouring the dark web for proof. Once evidence is found, the ILF turns the dossiers over to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. In 2019 more than 80 of the dossiers produced by the ILF are being used by law enforcement to track, capture, and and apprehend child predators. The ILF is a 501c3 charitable organisation and relies solely on donations.

The auction lots include signed guitars from Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, No Doubt, Zakk Wylde, Thursday, and Clutch. Also up for bids are signed posters from the Foo Fighters and Black Label Society. Finally, there is a limited edition (#21 of 25) black and white photo print of Chris Cornell, courtesy of Andrew Stuart and approved by the Cornell estate.

When asked why he wanted to organise an auction for the ILF, Fallon responded, “No one wants to hear, let alone talk, about the topic of child abuse. We can choose to look away, but the victims don’t have that option. I realised that if I am in a position to help, how could I not? Putting together this auction is an easy thing to do for kids that need our help so desperately.”

Interested fans can place bids at: auctions.innocentlivesfoundation.org. Bidding concludes on December 7th at 11:59pm EST.

Fallon returns to the UK with Clutch for headline shows pre-Christmas, with special guests Graveyard and Kamchatka.

12/17 – SOUTHAMPTON O2 Guildhall
12/18 – LONDON Roundhouse
12/19 – LEEDS O2 Academy
12/20 – NOTTINGHAM Rock City

Here’s Clutch at their riffiest performing “Electric Worry”:

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.
