	Fu Manchu Summary
		Fu Manchu is a fictional character, an evil genius of Manchu origin, first featured in a series of novels by Birmingham author Sax Rohmer (real name Arthur Sarsfield Ward) during the early years of the 20th century.
		A master criminal, Fu Manchu works for the overthrow of Western civilization or the "White race." His murderous plots are marked by the extensive use of apparently Asian methods; he disdains guns or explosives, preferring dacoits, phansigars, and members of other secret societies as his agents armed with knives, or using "pythons and hamadryads...
		Fu Manchu's daughter, Fah Lo Suee, is a devious mastermind in her own right, plotting to take control of the Si-Fan from her father and making things difficult for him.

	Metal Invader ( Fu Manchu - Go For It Live ) Review.
		FU MANCHU are one of my all time favourite bands and to me one of the three best heavy rock bands that the 90’s produced (the other two being KYUSS and MONSTER MAGNET).
		FU MANCHU did themselves justice, and to us a favour, and included songs from even their earliest studio albums creating a playlist representing as evenly as possible their career.
		FU MANCHU in the 97 minutes of this double album deliver their fuzzy-heavy-groovy-riff rock unstoppably in the way that only they can, and they do so remarkably well.

		It's been 14 years since Fu Manchu first lurched out of their Chevy van for the Slap-A-Ham 7" with only guitarist Scott Hill having made it as far as their latest CD.
		It was clear that Fu Manchu had something special to offerand I've kept track of them ever since.
		Fu Manchu do what they do, and you'll either love it or hate it.

	Fu Manchu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A master criminal, Fu Manchu works for the overthrow of Western civilization or the "White race."

		Fu Manchu is also one of the earliest known examples of a supervillain, with Professor Moriarty being among the only other precedents.
		The Fu Manchu stories were parodied in the the radio series Round The Horne, with "Dr. Chu N. Ginsberg, MA (failed)" played by Kenneth Williams.

	Mammoth Records > Fu Manchu
		Fu Manchu has always been about the ride -- windows down, stereo cranked, beach on the passenger side, headin' down the Pacific Coast Highway with beer in the cooler and surfboards on the roof.
		The heavy guitars still erupt (though not always blanketed by the band's previously ubiquitous fuzz), and the rhythm section still jackhammers away, but their sonic blasts are often shot with refreshingly hooky melodies.
		Fu Manchu have risen above the stoner-rock- meets-Sabbath tag (which is at once accurate and too limiting) and proven themselves to be in a category of their own, touring with the likes of P.O.D. and Sevendust, opening new eyes and ears to Fu's myriad charms.

	Rough Edge: Fu Manchu CD Reviews
		There's an injustice in the world when bands like Fu Manchu are without a record label and have to resort to recording three song EPs just to get back into the swing of things in the music industry.
		Fu Manchu were the first "stoner" band I can remember hearing - and they sound as good today as they did back when I reviewed "Eatin' Dust" over four years ago.
		Fu Manchu's continues their ways with "California Crossing," a collection of 10 Fu'd-up tunes that feature the chunky, fuzzy (there's really no other way to describe it) guitar sound that has become known as "stoner" rock.

	MTV News \| Going Back To Cali: Fu Manchu Salute Their SoCal Upbringing
		While Fu Manchu might not have a lot to say lyrically or in interviews, their simplistic sentiments complement their crunchy, chugging guitar rhythms, insistent beats and powerful vocals.
		As positive an experience as the creation of California Crossing was for Fu Manchu, the band was dealt a surprise setback afterward when drummer Brant Bjork announced that he was leaving to rejoin his former Kyuss bandmates guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez and bassist Nick Oliveri in Queens of the Stone Age.
		Fu Manchu are currently on the road with Bjork's replacement, Scott Reeder (ex-Smile), who coincidentally has the same name as a onetime bassist for Kyuss.

		Fu Manchu is like the Fed-Ex of rock today -- delivering the goods on time, every time.
		It's terrific to meet all the bands and people that are playing this kind of music, because we are fans of what they're doing and they talk about how much dig us, so it's kind of bizarre sometimes...
		I mean, we play rock with Fu Manchu, and we obviously don't want to make it bland, but we don't want to branch out just for the sake of going off on a tangent and potentially playing shitty music.

		Rock & Roll isn't brain surgery, and Orange County's Fu Manchu is the band that proves it.
		Like an evolution from Neanderthal to late-Neanderthal, there is a simple and direct path that Fu Manchu and like-minded bands Nebula, Queens of the Stone Age and Fireball Ministry grow from: Blue Cheer to The Stooges to Black Sabbath to Kiss to The Melvins to Monster Magnet to Kyuss.
		Fu Manchu is at the center of the Stoner Rock web, old men of the scene as it were.

		Fu Manchu's worst excesses triumph in the lengthy, both psychedelic and Black-Sabbathian Saturn III.

		Maybe they were supposed to be "lead drums", which in theory would have not been a bad idea because Fu Manchu had Brandt Bjork, one of the greatest drummers, ever...except he doesn't do anything on this release except play a basic back beat with little else.
		Fu Manchu is considered "stoner rock", which is a revival of the roots of Heavy Metal from the 1970's.
		While most bands of the stoner rock genre draw their inspiration from bands like Black Sabbath or Kyuss, Fu Manchu tend to create their own vision of the 70's in metal form.

	Harmony In My Ears: Fu Manchu: We Must Obey.^.Mp3 Blog
		Co-produced by Andrew Alekel (Weezer, Rancid, Queens of the Stone Age) and the band themselves, the record is infectious, inspiring and, most importantly, authentic -- the sound of a time- and road-tested group cruising along confidently yet effortlessly.
		While FU MANCHU's music has been alternately described as stoner rock, surf-punk and desert rock, the truth is that it's all of the above.
		In the spirit of such classic FU covers as Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" and Devo's "Freedom of Choice," the album sees the band tackle The Cars' "Moving In Stereo," a well-known track from that group's multi-platinum 1978 debut.

	Ink 19 :: Fu Manchu
		The 22-track, 95-minutes long set documents their 2002 tour of the US and Europe, and culls tracks from all eras of the band, underlining the sheer consistent quality of their output and their continued relevance on the stoner scene.
		But it's the pummeling, filthy riffage of Scott Hill and Bob Balch that really defines the monster rawk of Fu Manchu, especially in a live context where songs are stretched and pulled in new and strange directions.
		Regarded as a career overview, this is a fine introduction to the band, although older fans are likely to be most thrilled by this, seeing that the band's studio albums have generally failed to live up to the great live experience that this band represents.

		Fu Manchu was once referred to as "the band for those who miss Kyuss".
		Fu Manchu do have a 70's stoner groove influence, but their songs are more straightforward and lack the drawn-out psychedelics of the later Kyuss albums.
		Nonetheless, they are as influential and representative of stoner rock as any band out there.

	Fu Manchu, Big Elf, Chelsea Smiles Concert Review
		Fu Manchu hails from Southern California with a sound that is the hard rock soundtrack for cruising around on a Saturday night in a surf town.
		Known for their live show and constant touring, Fu Manchu has a loyal fan base, the same crowd that favors bands like Kyuss, (Kyuss founder Brant Bjork drummed for Fu between 1996 and 2000) Queens of the Stone Age and Monster Magnet.
		Fu Manchu headlined a show at L.A.'s Knitting Factory last week, rocking hard with a 17 song set that featured a few brand new tunes (the band is currently in the studio recording their new album.) Fu's set captured rock loud, hard and fast.

	Fu Manchu
		Fu Manchu is a fuzzdrenched, dramatic, and grooveoriented hard rock band from San Clemente, CA that would rather expound on girls, cars, skateboarding, and pot than revenge.
		But, after the release of 2001’s California Crossing, the band’s record label, Mammoth Records, went under, and Fu Manchu was left with their pencils in their hands, so to speak.
		Three years was the longest yet between Fu Manchu albums, so when it came time to record, the band was ready to take their angst out on the music.

		As they launch into the road-burning riff of "Evil Eye," it’s evident that this band is still at their very best, and there’s no stopping them for the next hour.
		Despite the setlist, this show is yet more proof that Fu Manchu are one of the tightest and heaviest live bands around.
