God, Fu Manchu brings tears of laughter to my eyes. How they ever achieved success with that ignorant prick and his formulaic riffs I'll never know.
The point is I'd put them ahead of Trey Gunn. I don't know what personal problem you have with Eddie Glass? Fu Manchu's "Daredevil" and "In Search of..." are classic Sabbathy/psychelic riffs inspired by Fun House era Stooges and Kyuss. Josh had already been edited out by Boo Boo so I didn't feel like beating a dead horse, but he was very influential with guitar tone, and I agree should be higher.
