I've just got a copy of Black 1. This is the most brutal record I have ever heard.
Fuck me it's incredible.
Nighty night...

had the honour of opening for them in my home city, great guys, I assume they were into talking about their gear, though I might have been having a george costanza moment.
musically I found it really fucking boring, though the girls at the gig were sufficently resonated so getting laid was easy.
so despite my dislike of their music.
SUNN 0))) are not crap.

Saw 'em play last night.
Definitely Not Crap but wasn't this already done by the Melvins and/or Earth years ago?........with only 3 people?........and 2 amps?
Is it just that everyone's forgotten so this seems new again?
Help me out here.

I am utterly, hopelessly and devastatingly sold down the river. I want to be at that gig again, now.
Not crap.

Yes, great bunch of guys. But musically? It's like going to sleep REALLY REALLY LOUD. Boring as hell. I just don't get drone.
I have seen them live, so I've gotten the whole "experience." It is impressively loud, no doubt about that. And the sheer volume and resonance do have a physical effect. But after 10 minutes, it's just numbing. No dynamics = no music. And I was even under a carefully constructed drug regimen to help me out, but it still failed to transport me (except to the bathroom to take a dump). They hit the brown note, that's for sure.
CRAP but with a strong waffle factor because I appreciate Greg Anderson

That show was not crap. I just sat there like WHAT THE FUCK. Definitely pulverizing, but also kind of weirdly sterile in its formalism. Still, not crap.
