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.

Sigh...
Yes, I have. I actually met a one-time Fu Manchu member (he's leading a band called The Freeks now). I have
In Search Of... and I regret ever purchasing it. I know they don't sound like Kyuss; Kyuss was good, and Homme didn't feel the need to employ distortion on every song. You're right: nobody sounded like FU. Nobody else wanted to. If you really do enjoy FU's sound than I suppose it would be folly to try to convince you otherwise. But I, I never enjoyed them. And I listened to enough of them to figure that out.
