"Eatin' Dust" was the second album for new members Brant Bjork and Bob Balch, who replaced Ruben Romano and Eddie Glass in 1997.  The first three tracks were originally released as the "Godzilla" EP, a limited-edition 10" on Man's Ruin Records.  Josh Homme of Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age played additional percussion during that three-track session, and Mike Coopersmith (an alias of Scott Hill) played lead guitar in place of Bob Balch.  The rest of the album features the band's normal lineup.  The first track "Godzilla" is a Blue Öyster Cult cover.  Man's Ruin later re-issued the album on 12" vinyl (including the "Godzilla" EP) and renamed it "(Godzilla's) Eatin' Dust".

Eddie Glass (born December 19, 1970) is an American rock musician best known for his work with punk band Olivelawn, and stoner rock bands Nebula, and Fu Manchu.  Nebula has been Glass' primary musical group since 1997, when he and drummer Ruben Romano acrimoniously split from Fu Manchu. The Action is Go is the fourth studio album by California stoner rock group Fu Manchu.  It features new drummer Brant Bjork (Kyuss) and new lead guitarist Bob Balch, replacing Eddie Glass and Ruben Romano, who left to form the band Nebula.  According to an AllMusic review, the new lineup provided Fu Manchu with "the impetus and inspiration to really start moving forward," and the resulting album demonstrates the band's "punk energy, classic rock drive, psychedelic crunch, and heavy-ass grind all at once."  The album was produced by Jay Noel Yuenger of White Zombie, who contributed some additional instrumentation.
