Synopsis

Amazon.com

Largely unsung heroes outside their Southern Cal base--and Germany; go figure--Fu Manchu has fused their fetish for metal riffing with driving, skate-punk energy, creating a full bore sonic assault that rivals Monster Magnet in every way but wider public renown. This double-disc live collection (recorded in ?02 dates on the California Crossing tour) may well be the perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with the band's manic, groove-metal charms. Highlighted by Bob Balch's relentless riffing, Scott Hill's tireless vocal energy, and the monster rhythm section of bassist Brad Davis and drummer Scott Reeder, it's an energetic live anthology of the band's decade of cult recording successes. More rewarding, it's a showcase for their famously blistering live act --and one of the best sounding live albums in recent memory--giving armchair listeners blast-in-the-face doses of everything from fan faves like "Boogie Van," "Laserblast," and "Hell on Wheels" to a good-natured romp through Blue Oyster Cult's obviously inspirational "Godzilla." --Jerry McCulley

CD Reviews

Great live album from a great band.

Jack Knife | Pittsburgh, PA United States | 09/16/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great live album. The sound quality is awesome and all the songs are performed to a T. The songs sound even heavier then the studio recordings because of the live energy that's captured. I was a Fu fan before this album and I was reticent to buy the live album because I didn't want to waste money on songs I already had, but it is worth every penny."

No Weak @ss Symphony On These Discs....

"The Woj" | Downers Grove, IL | 08/03/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have a feeling if Iggy & The Stooges were born and bread in Southern Cal circa 2000, they would sound something....if not exactly like this. How music can be so in your face yet so laid back at the same time is beyond the comprehension of my 5 senses. Friggin' cranked up, fuzzed out & balls through the wall guitar riffs. Ultra-cool lyrics delivered with sweat & passion. And, a rhythm section that flat out kicks @ss & takes no prisoners. I swear on my vinyl copies of "Kiss Alive", "Unleashed In The East" &
"Strangers In The Night", Fu Manchu has finally reached the summit of rock's Mount Olympus. When the "idols" of my youth release a live album with a freakin' wimpy symphony, it's great to see newer bands that can still "respect the rock" and kick out the jams.
Add to cart ASAP."

Fu manchu is rock

"The Woj" | 12/28/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like simple stripped down rock with a souther california edge to it, it doesn't get better than this. Go For It has all their best songs, and they're performed perfectly. This is two cd's from the best band there is, for the price of one. Even if it cost twice as much it would still be worth it. The cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" is a gem. Next time you're in the car, pop in fu manchu and it will change your life."
