Sunn O))) plays Black Wedding @Villette Sonique 27/05/2009

[jemclenachan]

such power, God to see these guys live must be fucking moving.

[The3PhoenixWithin]

They don't care how others perceive/they are purely immersed/. *R~

[1fatherwinter]

sometimes when you want to create something unique, you have to start outside the lines of normalcy.

[Toadsandbones]

I want my money back, this is the most worthless overrated shit band in mankind's history.

[Z0mb1e3lv1s]

@Toadsandbones You, sir are the most worthless overrated shit human in mankind's history.

[JukeboxHeartbreak91]

@Toadsandbones who the fuck are you to judge anything? you're a basement dwelling faggot who paints little dolls. (by all means deny it, but your channel says otherwise)

just because its not your cup of tea doesn't mean it's "useless". taste in music is subjective.

but being a toy painting ferry isn't. that shit's as gay as having a dick in the ass.

[nebula34]

i wonder what it would be like to drop acid and experience this live...the vibrations would be intense..you can probably summon spirits out of the darkness at that point

[steinber]

A fucking WALL of amplifiers, boys and girls. Being in this band must be a logistic nightmare!! Loooove it!

[christpakula]

THIS is INVOCATION OR AM I BEING DROLL?

WHY WON'T YOU LET ME POST THIS?

[christpakula]

THIS is INVOCATION OR AM I BEING DROLL?

[christpakula]

INVOCATION IN A CHURCH?

I GUESS THESE SIGHTS HAVE POWER

HE DOES WELL AT INVOKING

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF MUSICAL PERFORMANCE BEFORE

ITS INTERESTING

[Circleoffists]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­ rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r

[awwwwwwwwwww]

someone give me the tab to that one chord!!!

[omhealer]

@TimOoO I used to scoff at bands like Sunn, like any "normal"? person would. I only really listen to this style if i feel a sense of lonelyness. Sometimes i dont want to hear a "song" but rather just a heavy version of ambiance. Kinda like that rainforest and whales stuff, but with Guitars and no structure.

[ballersack]

Lil' Jon ft. Sunn O))):

"Errrbody in da club geBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRR­RRRRBURRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ozeri]

Sunn O))) Are probably one of the greatest discoveries and talents of the 21th century . sunn O))) is and endless adventure to the Void of nothingness . Philosophic and dark sound art . fuck it's great .

[DarkSpartanNL]

Music is anything that sounds good to the creator and this sure is music, fuck it if its this, or a standard beat, or apples falling from a tree making fun sounds, its all its fucking own kind of music, fucking appreciate it or leave

[odinthor718]

Goddamned bLack! I woudnt traded for jesus's fuckin world any day!

[Campylobacter]

I just loved the fog machine sound in the beginning, how do they come up with brilliant stuff like this! <3

[omhealer]

The bite and tone they get is insane!!! I laugh at people who dont get this music! They fail to see who they really are, they live in a made up reality. Sunn O))) opens fucking new realities. It may take a while but the sound is coming for you.

[Tim0o0]

@omhealer dont want to offend people who really like this kind of music.. but gosh! wheres the technique? i mean.. wheres the feeling? and how can you laugh at people who just cant get this kind of music.. im a really open minded person.. but no.. just no!

[Hairylungs]

@Tim0o0 There is more feeling and technique in this than most music. I'd say this and blues are the most heart felt music out today. There doesn't need to be blistering fast solos for their to be technique present. SunnO))) is pure atmosphere and you CAN feel it. I've seen them live and it's just something you have to experience. If that's not feeling, then I don't want to know what is... I will give it this though, it's not for everyone that's for sure.

[jenetik0]

Goddamn, this shit is unreal fucking talent.. 3 guitarists to make all that "music"? I think I covered this song once, on 20+ hits of acid in a dark room, I can't remember because it sucked so badly I never recorded it.

[viralthings]

Two kinds of people, those who enjoy Sunn O))) and those who fuckin' suck.

[escape572]

If you think this is shit or just some simple shit, you don´t know a fuck about music. If you don´t like, stop watching it dickhead.

[godstomper]

I dig their sound , but sometimes I wish they would just get Dale Crover of the Melvins on drums.

[ConiferTreez]

@godstomper Dale to the rescue!!

[ITRIPOVERMYCOCK]

this isnt music... its shit.... any fuckin moron can get onstage and overdrive the amps with a fog machine and some robes from star wars.. my electric razor makes this same sound... and you dumbasses pay for this music in concert and on a c.d? lol

[VinterVandring]

No actually. I've downloaded over 70GB worth of music. Never pay for it.

Fuck paying for art.

[ConiferTreez]

@VinterVandring Amen to that. art is freedom, no way I'm paying for it.

[HidetoraHikimonji]

@ConiferTreez Totally agree with you.Let's hope to reach the highest number of people,thanks to that.

[1Heretic]

I really believe that these guys should do a project with Mike Patton, he will help them to be more focused i think, i feel that this is the start of a genius, but they have to mature a bit more

[Aeoen]

@1Heretic check out their split with Boris, Altar. I'd say it's their most focused. I don't think Mike Patton would do them very well, as their music isn't supposed to have any structure.. it's supposed to be felt, I suppose you can say.

[1Heretic]

@Aeoen Thanks i ll check it out, well at least i m sure he could do some really weird vocals that would fit their songs perfectly

[ConiferTreez]

@1Heretic mike patton is a total fag, and SUNN would never work with him

[1Heretic]

@ConiferTreez Thats your opinion mate, fortunetely not everyone share it!!

[Jflux69]

wow, nice intro.........so when does the song start?

[kentman86]

haha this sucks.

[joelaka3pac123]

from what i understand

their live stuff is suppose to be unreasonably loud as fuck

[GasWorkFilms]

I wouldn't say unreasonably. After I saw them it felt as if I had been walking through water. Live sound like nothing else and I saw them on the Grimmrobe tour

[FingersPlainview]

This is what it's gonna sound like when the 'machine's' take over!

[Sashamet]

it is the same the whole 8 minutes...

[Waranoa]

Maybe you should listen more carefully. It takes a bit of effort the first few times, which you will not go through if you hate slow, loud, bassey music of course; but if you do love the sound and take a minute (or half an hour) to just listen to what's going on, it's trance-inducing, it's huge. It's living sound.

[Sashamet]

Thanks man. That is a good advice. I will

[deadflagsproductions]

ahead of their time. Privileged to say that I've seen them live and they've changed my life to a degree!

[Sashamet]

i think it is too repetitive

[AegisShroud]

Wtf is this shit?

[lullabyou]

Yeah WTF is this shit? someone explain it to me plzz...

[ddensu]

Generic shit.

[CynicG]

To be fair, to the layman this sounds like noise, but when you're there the LFO is quite amazing...

[Darth1Oni1Link]

That shit is awful

No soulful rhythms, just a wall of sound

This type of crap is what happened to Art too, and the modern art enthusiast is usually a preening asshole

[Kataxu]

The soul is not always a rhythm. The soul can be dark, hindered, void, caught in a spiral of nothingness. This appeals to those souls.

[jenetik0]

@Kataxu You need to find a fuckin soul

[The3PhoenixWithin]

@Kataxu I get very little from Sun O))) as you described a typical out look/am surprised you don't think this is epic & the core self resonates to the un?'able depth of sound grind engineering by Sun O))) :l try soul reaching pyroclastiks/soul galaxy/soul nova/soul quasar/that's what I get/you can have the typical emptiness analogy/out look/. *R~

[The3PhoenixWithin]

@Kataxu Core Self as to Soul/not the hollow "thinker"/the authentic self within/Sun O))) fair high in understanding that gravity/I doubt it's all abandonment/. *SyBlur~

[fujihakyito]

Nonsense. Modern art engages in the breach of a self-reflexive culture. It posits alternative strategies for conceiving of life and experience in a post-industrial society. The romantic expression ("soulful art") you describe as the ideal paradigm of contemporary culture engenders solipsism and complacency in a market society. You presumes the liberal humanist subject is the ideal model for experience, understanding and enlightenment. This is naive. Modern art attempts to work against this.

[Darth1Oni1Link]

I didn't mean the "romantic expression" you refer to, and taking the 'soulful' part out this music has no rhythm, therefore it is not music. The same goes for modern art, without any rhythm the work becomes meaningless lines on paper, just as this 'song' is a wall of sound.

[fujihakyito]

This reading does not work, even if you except the view that music is only (and can only be) the chromatic arrangement of tones deployed in regular, temporal succession. Sunn o))) clearly operates within this paradigm, and scores to that effect. Further, you seem to conflate 'meaninglessness' with ambiguity. That a piece resolves ambiguously (either because of its meter or its tonal relations) does not deny it of content. It simply means the audience has to work harder to engage it.

[ILuvMongoose]

@Darth1Oni1Link Well that's kind of the point? That's it's a pure wall of sound. But to some people a powerful wall of a sound can be a song or a track or whatever you want to call it. Art is in the eye of the beholder. What you think of it may not be what someone else thinks of it, and there lies the beauty of art.

[mouldeck]

thus... just to be perfectly clear, you know absolutely nothing about music and you are trying to teach us a lesson!?

i would really appreciate to understand what is it that you are doing!!

[hpavin53]

The fascinating thing here is that these guys get paid bucks for doing something you can do in your basement at home. Just get a Sunn model T amp and detune your guitar, crank it up and away you go. Nothing special here.

[Grimm48]

@hpavin53 nah dude, you're overly understating what's going on here and perhaps you are partially blind. greg anderson and steven o'malley are clearly playing like 5 head cab combinations each. so thats 5 vintage sunn model t amps and different cabs each which are no longer being manufactured and cost thousands of dollars. also they have fairly complicated pedal boards, and vintage les pauls that are of the highest quality, that goldtop one is very hard to acquire. and there's more to it than gr

[jackieben94]

@mouldeck u dunno english and trying to talk??

[mouldeck]

@jackieben94 what part didn't you understand?

speak and thou shall be given an explanation

[SteelSkin667]

Best tone ever. I wish I was there.

[Eagleman73]

I am a music fan...all types etc etc. What is it with these guys that makes them great?? Loud guitars that sound like shit? No Drums?? Robes and Fog?? Obviously there needs to be drugs involved....to make this...."Great"!!

Please people, guitars going.....GRRR.....GRRR....GRR­R, over and over is just stupid!!!!!!

Listen to some REAL METAL!!!!!!!

[TotaledMinivan]

back to the old folks home with you, grandpa.

[ILuvMongoose]

@Eagleman73 If you were a music fan maybe you'd understand that this is ambient music for the insane.

[97036]

good shit

[mostbadass1]

progressive drone doom metal? how many lonely hours did you spend in your parents basement before you came to that conclusion?

[fujihakyito]

Don't even bother. Your comments are insubstantial and inarticulate. Let the brains handle the cultural criticism.

[ashleyfish]

you feel the music. not listen to it

[mostbadass1]

well one things right, you definately can't listen to this without feeling that somehow you are slowly witnessing the devolution of man...and seriously feel the music? sounds like something michael jackson would say to your nephew

[jmann114]

Ignorance is bliss. If you don't understand what feeling the music actually means, and not use a corny joke to throw back at it, then you'd understand. You need to go to one of their live shows, because it's completely different. Don't criticize something you don't understand.

[mostbadass1]

you got any more cliches you'd like to throw out there in defense of your shitty band? a live show with a bunch of full grown men who think dressing up in gowns and capes is cool and different? it is definately different...but not in a good way - neurosis is different, om is different, sunn is a pathetic attempt at creative artistry because they just said, "well hell noones done somethin this stupid i bet we can get away with it" and your dumbass bought the cd

[jmann114]

Yeah, as in cliche like yet another pathetic michael jackson joke. Real original buddy. Yes, a LIVE show, where you can actually feel the instruments being played. The videos do it no justice. And whoever said they dressed up in gowns and capes to be "cool" and "different"? It's all part of the act to make it even more interesting. Besides, musicians are performers too. When they go on stage, they perform. I can see why people don't like this, but some people do. You can't give it a label.

[jmann114]

Plus, both of these guys have other bands that they are in, i.e. "Goatsnake". This band was made purely for experimenting with vibrations/frequencies and can only be appreciated live, or with a good sound system. I hear people all the time say "oh I can play this this shit so easy" but since when was playing music a fucking competition. If you don't like it, shut your mouth because obviously all your doing is criticizing.

[mostbadass1]

yea i was actually just fuckin with ya - even though i dont prefer sunn...i really respect them for runnin southernlord and puttin out some of the best music on that label...peace

[DoglessEndeavor]

I'm a big fan of their music, but I can understand the feelings towards the robes. I understand their reasoning, but in a genre with so many crappy bands dressing up, it's maybe not the safest way of getting respected. However, the idea of removing egos from the live performance and letting the music, or the sound, take control is at very least worth respecting as an idea, if not as a reality, for some.

[Maxpow33r]

so when does the song start?

[MaitreMechant]

Ouais ils jouaient fort et c'était tant mieux

[66420192]

Amazing.

[blanknimrod]

J'aimerais le savoir aussi. C'est une honte.

[nicopowerlans]

J'étais à ce concert et le principe est de créer une ivresse provoquée par l'ambiance et générée par le volume sonore, extrêmement puissant. Je voudrais savoir pk ils ont passés dans les mailles du filet qui limitent le volume à 104 ou 105 db en France. Parce que là ils devaient être à 120 au moins.

[mouldeck]

c'est pas compliqué de jouer plus fort que 105 dB. faut juste tomber sur un programmateur de salle qui s'en fout de se mettre hors la loi. comme ceux qui programment motorhead par exemple. c'est spécifié en toute lettres dans leur fiche technique qu'ils ne respecteront pas la limite à 105, ou 98 en suisse...
