He also stated that the song "Clones" touches on the criticism that the band sounds too much like the band Tool, but going on to say it's about "getting shit from peers and people saying that you're ripping somebody else off" and that the song goes back to his youth as well as one other track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chevelle ARTISTdirect.com interview -- Song Meanings )〕 The band also stated that "Clones" felt like it belonged on ''Point #1'', questioning if it was a negative or positive direction.〔 In the interview with Artistdirect.com, P. Loeffler also said that he and Bernardini were on a "Stanley Kubrick kick", noting ''The Shining'' as one of the movies they'd record and watch at the end of the night on the tour bus, but marked that he found a humor to it and that he had also watched all the ''Star Trek'' movies back-to-back.〔 The album's title comes from P. Loeffler's disgust at bullfighting. He explains "It’s such a heartless sport and it’s so torturous for these animals ... We got the idea of rooting for the bull instead. We root for the underdog." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hats Off to the Bull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
