...Oh wow. I was actually at this show with my dad (he prefered Boris, lol). This was just a couple of months before he died. Its a really good memory I have of being with him and its kinda cool to find this vid here.
I still find it strange that people are so offended by Sunn - everyone seems mortified by the notion that music without structure can still be classified as music. Just because it's only a few notes being played does not mean it is not art; it's an atmosphere that is being created. if nobody gets the concept of an atmosphere then that's their problem - personally i love Sunn.
I think it's partially the fact that when someone records them and puts it on YouTube, the sound is so horribly distorted that the effect is lost. You really need to BE there to experience. That's what it is; an experience; a physical presence, not only something to listen to. Sure there's a lot of pretence, but what music doesn't? If people don't enjoy it then too bad; don't tell us about it.
I'm all for being different from society and the popular music culture (which is why I'm a proud metalhead and drummer)... But surely they must be joking...
I agree that they do attract attention with their 'music' and I do tip my hat off to them for being different... But who in their right mind would be able to sit through this?
its not just noise ok? you must have a MIND and understand it as atmoshperic. it stupid people terms, it means you cannot understand it frankly because you dont want to.
so, you're open to all the shit 'music' in the world. well, there you go. if you don't understand drone and noise just fuck off - i'm sick of all you 'well-rounded' people telling us that true art is not art because your mind is too pathetically small to grasp it.
Regardless of your opinion, I to am open to all that you have labelled as "shit" music, and many forms of ambient and otherwise non profit making music.
This? This is absolute garbage. This is absolute trash. And this is NOT music. This is NOT art.
Cool, replying to a comment I made a long time ago. And how do you figure I'll get my ass kicked for saying that they suck ass? For one thing, they suck ass... so I won't go to their show.
Say what you want online all day if it makes you happy, but this shit isn't music. It isn't artistic, it isn't enjoyable to listen to, it isn't inspirational, it's lacking emotion and it's just fucking terrible. I've heard nails on chalk board make better music.
To all the people who are saying this isn't music - congrats. You're right. Sunn O))) is about as much music as Merzbow. It's atmosphere, best played during a heavy rainstorm or other dark, semi-depressing day.
This guys have influences from genres that most of you don't even know that exist, and one of them is the avant garde territory. But this is not experimental, it's just stoner music with very slow dynamics and simple arragments. By the way, one of the first drones was invented by WAGNER.
Firstly... why the hell such a music's quality is so bad ? even if it has been record on a live, please ... don't let our hear get down for suicide...
Secondly, I have been hearing mocking solemity on their myspace and I think that (even if it's not comparable to music at all) it is interessent
Actually their ... weird sounds stand for real emotion drivable!
They do not produce some music they produce some real good athmosphere
I think this is the biggest bullshit ive ever heard, its not even music, its noise, even babies can produce this crap, and whats up with putting down megadeth, they can actually play music, and theyve marked their territory in metal, while these guys probably have no musical theory and smoke crack 3 times a day
hey i like megadeth and metal - but i dont get drone - it seems interestin so if u could send me a link to the official sunn o))) website so i can look into it more coz these poor quality vids dont do it any good
Well if you were the one who decided what types of music go into which genre, I'll bet you'd put Atreyu as metal and Good Charlotte as punk. But thankfully you have no contributions to anything other than posting your opinion on a video that you don't like instead of ignoring it. You know, Reak23 and Reak44 are the nicest Reaks out there, but no... the 55th Reak has to be a weirdo and mess everyone up with his dumb words
toomanydietcokes - Who writ the rule that music is to be dance/moshable? All music is just a variation of noise, some more refined than others, Sunn are just more explicit about this fact. I love it when people have an allergic reaction to it, just shows how musically conservative their tastes are :)
Sorry you couldn't handle it. If you want to listen to something less heavy, try the Back Street Boys. Oh, and prove you went to the show. Bet you can't...
You call this heavy? I think im going to stick a mic down the toilet and record the heavynes of the flush..Anything sounds better than this crap..Candlemass = Doom..This = shit...Bastard noise sucked back in the 90's and I dont have to prove anything to a poser like you..Fuckoff wimp
I prefer Metal Machine Music...
