Have to admit it makes for a cool band name even though it was clearly ripped from the Sunn amp company and not sure if they have any legal agreement to use it or full blown ripped it which I am guessing the latter. I actually like their track though, reminds me a bit of some NIN.

Please Tell Me This Is a Joke....

This sort of music has a crazy effect on me. When I'm listening to it I lose all sense of time perspective...I don't know if it's been twenty seconds or twenty minutes. It's trippy, and I don't listen often, but that kind of zoning out has it's place.
Cookie Monster Metal isn't my cup of tea but I'm sure there are plenty who like it. Different strokes.
I did that on purpose, true story.Says the guy with Trivium in his Last.fm playlist...
Relax, I'm just messing with ya. Sunn O))) still aren't hipsters though. They make hipsters cry for mommy. Trve story.
I've seen Sunn O)))'s name pop up dozens of times over the years here on TB, but for some reason, never took the time to check them out, which I finally did tonight.
You know what? Pretty f-ing awesome! Definitely gonna give them some time now.
And as for Judas Priest, if this ain't metal, I sure as hell don't know what is.

OP is a joke, for sure. Why has this not been locked for reasons of spam yet?
We really don't need people coming in, just setting fires where they please.
As for the band name... Sunn amps were still around when these guys started out. They didn't seem to do anything about it. Probably saw it as great promotion from a couple of guys who fell in love with their gear. Now Sunn amps are pretty much linked in with the genre because of this band.

LMAO!!!
Hey Portlandbass77, since you like other styles of music besides what's on the radio so much, I just know you'll get this! Enjoy!
If that's too droney for you, here's something more upbeat and energetic:
BTW, Sunn0))) rules.

Well I just saw a video of a guy who created a device that turned tree rings into piano keys and a laser into a sort of record player......and I kind of liked it....so music isn't exactly what we all thought it was
What would that accomplish? You don't like it. An explanation is not going to make you like it.
Yep. Music, like food, is actually kinda simple on a personal level. Either you like it, or you don't. You don't have to justify your dislike of a particular sound more than you have to justify your dislike of a certain food. Doesn't mean the artist or the chef is bad, but some stuff you're just not going to like.
Why is this hard for people?
No, you like it 100x more than Sunn O))), but it's not better or worse.
Btw, let's hear your band. I want to hear how many times "better" than Sunn O))) they are.
Exactly. I don't like all music I hear, but that doesn't mean I think it's a joke, or that it's not music. Hell, I don't like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Doesn't mean they're bad. Just that I don't like them.
According to you. To me, there is much more depth than in most music I hear. Because music is subjective. There are vocals, btw. Also, vocals and drums aren't necessary for music to have "depth."
"Bad" is subjective. I've heard your band, and while you guys are good, if I were paying money, I'd much rather go see Sunn O))).
As for the name, they've existed since the early 90s. If no one has tried to "enforce" that trademark by now, it's unlikely that anyone's going to.
Eh, the full story is that they're huge fans of the band Earth, who notably played very loud and used Sunn amps. They decided using that name would be a reference both to the amp worship prevalent in doom/drone, and to the band that inspired them.
Why?
Why does it bother you that people listen to music you don't like? I hate the Brandenburg Concertos, but I don't mind people listening to them, or calling them music.
