Yeah, 50/50. If you want my honest opinion - as a lifelong metal fan and musician, metal folk of all the people I've met are kinda crappy. They're super judgemental, and obviously a proneness towards negativity, however, most of them aren't evil. They're just negative. There is a difference. I am a metal head. In EDM communities people are very loving and accepting, and so long as you're not being a terrible person you will basically be accepted and embraced, right out of the box. Whereas with metal, being a "good" person doesn't matter. What matters is, the clothes you wear and the bands you like. Literally. *I am a metal head* I recently went into more of the metal circles of my community, and it was a visceral reminder of why I left. I quickly realized if I am gonna hang out with these guys I am going to have to wear the uniform (black band hoodie, preferably some jeans). Which is fine! I love all that stuff! The problem is they (metal heads) won't love you if you don't look like them. And you wanna be like, "Dude, can we just chill and listen to metal?" and the answer is no. People will start shit with you for no reason... ....until you wear your black hoodie and jeans.
The “ever breathe a sound?” is real. I’ve been to live shows where there was so much sound pressure you could feel currents of air physically have their density altered by their volume. It’s like you could feel the individual compressions and rarefactions in the longitudinal waves. Amazing stuff. I really respect the diversity of music he’s been involved with. I only wish more of his collaborations especially the live stuff was available as recordings. I love to listen to them on walks and drives.
"Its kinda like being in a hot tub."- Stephen O'Malley I will translate what he said to simple English. In other words yes it hurts but its a painful hurt that is like being in a hot tub. Stephen cannot comment on the pain from it. WEAR EAR PLUGS! Just not the ones from the army they suck.
@@unoaotroa I believe you. I really do. The army has to wear protective Kevlar vests and helmets. The main weapon that the Military fights against uses the AK-47. The round ,7.62, and power of this weapon is so powerful. That it goes right throw these vests, and helmets. To the point where it is noneffective. That Military vets dislike these armors. They still have to wear Kevlar. The damage caused by this music is so bad that the protection given is not enough to save someones hearing. If someone takes away all of the protection does that make the damage caused worse?
J'avoue je m'attendais à ce qu'il cite le premier Black Sabbath ou un Led Zep, c'est agréablement surprenant l'ouverture d'esprit de certains (trop rares) gens de cette scène.
Most seem to say Sunn O. Perhaps it's appropriate to express the glyph as Sound, so say Sun or Sunn Sound? I think of Sunn O))) as being to sonic art what James Turrell is the art of light.
Met SOMA and Greg separately a few years back both very drunk, Greg was cool but SOMA gave me the cliche, pompous rockstar treatment. Huge let down. They don’t play in the states often and I feel like they don’t respect/value their US audience. Never meet your hero’s
I met SOMA once and he politely declined a photo but continued the conversation after that but he had a French accent! I know he’s lived in Paris for a long time but he never sounds like that in videos like this.
yeah I met King Buzzo after a Fantomas show once. He couldn't be more nice and actually had a very surreal, calm presence, but I was young and drunk af and made it incredibly awkward and weird. That moment still haunts me at night to this day.
Rammixcuba it's the clarification needed when speaking the name, unless you were to over enunciate the n's, otherwise people don't know what you're referring to

Life Metal est - je trouve - très décevant. Il ne porte aucun élément spécifique... il n'a pas sa patte propre... Ce disque erre, et ne dit pas grand chose, hélas. Kannon était à ce titre bien plus vaste malgré sa durée bien plus courte.
C’est marrant je pense exactement l’inverse Pour moi il se démarque vraiment, là où Kannon était trop prévisible Beaucoup moins sombre, méditatif et pourtant tellement massif, plus que les autres J’étais à la séance d’écoute à la Gaîté Lyrique et c’était vraiment incroyable On verra à long terme hein mais c’est peut être le meilleur album de Sunn O))) avec Monoliths & Dimensions
Quand tu es sur scène, devant les amplis, avec un casque anti-bruit, je pense que la comparaison a du sens. Dans le public, déjà tu sens les remous dans l'air.
marc gib C’est clair, c’est complètement con, et c’est tout simplement dangereux pour ceux qui viennent sans bouchons ou qui ont des bouchons qu’ils arrivent pas à bien mettre dans les oreilles.
@@ozymandiaspreacher5197lorsque l’on dépasse un certain volume il se produit du feedback ce qui modifie profondément les harmoniques et la réactivité de la guitare donc non c’est pas con ça change la musique produite en profondeur. Oui c’est dangereux et faut porter des bouchons
Life Metal sucks because there's no new grounds that they broke, that they had broken with previous albums (with highly experimental tracks such as Bathory Erzsebet). This album is same old drone that's been heard 1000x.

i love how almost every metal musician is into this dark and gruesome aesthetic, but in person they're so wholesome
50/50 in my experience
You’ve never gotten into black metal, wait until you meet those folk.
they channel their inner gruesomeness into music, so they don't have to do it in other avenues ;)
Yeah, 50/50. If you want my honest opinion - as a lifelong metal fan and musician, metal folk of all the people I've met are kinda crappy. They're super judgemental, and obviously a proneness towards negativity, however, most of them aren't evil. They're just negative. There is a difference.

For a second there, I thought Stephen O'Malley was going to deliver a tarot reading.
Oh good, I'm not alone.
For real!!

Saw them Sunday in Washington D.C.
Absolutely incredible. Unlike anything I've ever seen.

*heard, unlike anything you ever heard.
Was at that show! Amazing set. First time seeing them
The five people who actually disliked this video are drummers.
hahahahaha
Now we know how many dislikes this video had before they were removed. Lol
@@Romandogbird666 it was removed by a drummer
I'm a drummer and I love Sunn!
@@wout808 No matter what instrument you play then: you are simply a good person 😊👍
Stephen great human being and a musican. Thank you
Télérama qui parle de sunn o))) après yob en 2018....Le monde change et dans le bon sens !
le monde se reveille enfin !
Met Stephen a couple of months ago. Very intelligent, humble, and has great taste for music. Has been a hero of mine for a while.
What does he think about metal nowadays? Does he still like any of it or play any?
i love this man
Going to have to pronounce it "Sunn Speaker emitting vibrations" from now on
Sunn BRRRRRRRRRRRR also works
“Get Up with It” is his end-of-time record??? Holy shit, one of my favorites. This dude is fucking rad.
Thank you for posting!! Its nice to see in their (his) heads...amazing...
I'm surprised the amplifier company never sued them for using their logo.
Sales increased by 1000% since their "succes" so why would they? 😂
Amazingly done, entertaining, rich content, great editing skills and quality!
Chapeau!!
So it's Sunn. Period!
No it’s just Sunn. No period 😜
What a friendly fella
Saw him live solo. A basement show. It was pink smoke and drone. Just felt like I was only a bubble of conscience floating.
Stephen will there "ever" be a second album for teeth of lions rule the divine? I sure miss your old "doom" projects!
Lee is killing it on that album
@@superkatarsisI believe the album is an instant "classic" and yes Lee's vocals and writing were fantastic!
I'd kill for a new Khanate record too.
@@Intaminator I'd love a Khanate record but I think that's way less probable...
@@movimentodoscacos my my how time proves us wrong
Deep listening- You're into Pauline Oliveros, then? Cool!!

WEAR EAR PLUGS! Just not the ones from the army they suck.
xPumaFangx Sadly, earplugs don't help that much at protecting you from loud lower frequencies, which abound in Sunn O)))'s music.
@@unoaotroa I believe you. I really do.
The army has to wear protective Kevlar vests and helmets. The main weapon that the Military fights against uses the AK-47. The round ,7.62, and power of this weapon is so powerful. That it goes right throw these vests, and helmets. To the point where it is noneffective. That Military vets dislike these armors. They still have to wear Kevlar.
The damage caused by this music is so bad that the protection given is not enough to save someones hearing. If someone takes away all of the protection does that make the damage caused worse?
I love Stephen’s giggles.
Life metal 🔥🔥🔥
nice one soma you look great w beard...
Le mec kiff miles davis? Etonnant mais c'est super cool!
J'avoue je m'attendais à ce qu'il cite le premier Black Sabbath ou un Led Zep, c'est agréablement surprenant l'ouverture d'esprit de certains (trop rares) gens de cette scène.
7:37 Did Stephen just channel the spirit of Tim Heidecker?
What is his opinion on Standard stuff like metallica or other thrash metal? Does he like it?
Most seem to say Sunn O. Perhaps it's appropriate to express the glyph as Sound, so say Sun or Sunn Sound? I think of Sunn O))) as being to sonic art what James Turrell is the art of light.
What if Sun's music was in some Horror/Slasher Movies?
Check out the movie "Mandy"! One of the guys played guitar on the soundtrack and it has Nicolas Cage fighting with chainsaws!
@@otsop Thank I will check it out.
Pretty much every track on Black One would fit in a ghost movie 👻
Yeah, Stephen played on the soundtrack to Mandy. Also, Sunn O))) did some score work for The Devil's Candy. Highly recommend both!
Life Metal, not to be confused with Love Metal
its just like dust ....
Il restait un papier !!!!!! :o

Hate metal; LOVE Sunn O)))! Peace.
Miles Davis?!!?...
I dont think that tinnitus or permanent hearing damage is interesting
WHAT?
Put the smart phone down. Fucking hell, it's Sunn0))). Put it down. God I hope the vibrations crack and destroy your smart phone screens.
I’m still gonna say Sunn “oh” cos I like to be myself

isn't the point? to sometime do the same things but in a different approach or intent to see what will come out?
life sucks, simply ! saaaad
Does something have to be new to be good?
Jeter les papiers par terre est stupide !!! Très mauvais exemple !!!
On les a ramassés après, bien sûr ;-)
PTDR ! Mais wouaw
