Now listen, Luci...You don't know WTF your talking about. Fu Manchu were awesome up until "King of the Road". It's just ridiculous to call anything Glass did as formulaic because half the time he played by feel and flat out jammed. Lastly, if you actually did know anything, you'd realize they were bedrock of the stoner scene Kyuss created, with Brandt Bjork (in case you don't know, he was Kyuss's drummer) producing them in 94' and latter joining them on another one of their classics, "The Action is Go." Your comments "Taken from Kyuss"..."Indistinguishable music"? Have you actually played a Fu Manchu record. If you actually had listened to Fu you'd realize two things: A) They don't sound at all like Kyuss. For starter, they had a dual guitar attack. B) Fricken NOBODY sounded like Fu Manchu. Why? Because they were originators. Deal with it.
