Well,
this was an absolute whirlwind performance by Californian stoner
quartet Fu Manchu, once again proving to us that the spirit of Britain's
finest, Black Sabbath, is still alive and well.
Initially
only granted a 35 minute slot, Scott Hill and co started 10 minutes
early, and they gave us a fine taster of what they're capable of.
Starting off with the fantastic "Hell on Wheels" and ending
with an extra-long version of "Pigeon Toe", they mixed
up material from their new "King of the Road" album together
with some older stuff. And although the crowds screams for Blue
Oyster Cult cover "Godzilla" weren't granted, Singer/Guitarist
Scott Hill proved that this line-up, completed by Brad Davis on
Bass, Bob Balch on Lead Guitar and former Kyuss man Brant Bjork
on Drums, rocks harder and heavier that ever before.
This
was a very tight performance by a band who look like they might
be on the brink of finally losing their cult status and are about
to blast into the (Rock/Metal) mainstream, GREAT STUFF!!!
