It's always been older doom metal guys with beards with a few indie kids thrown in. Plus not all metal fans look like stereotypical metal fans anyway.

first and only experience with sunn o)))...
accidently walked into one of their shows after hearing strange rumblings. very high. wasn't anyone on the door. sat in the door guy's chair. closed my eyes. total fucking bliss.

that's an awesome story! I love stumbling across cool shit, to experience something with 0 preconceived notions or expectations.
also, not to stereotype, but the sunn fans seem grimm + humorless.

maybe its an american thing. i get the impression american metal fans take the genre and themselves a bitmore seriously than british ones?

Can't find much in the ILM archives on Ascend's Ample Fire Within album, which I understand Greg Anderson is involved with. How does this compare to Greg's other stuff -- Goatsnake, Sunn O))), Teeth of Lions..., Pentemple and anything else I'm forgetting?

I was here. That was a good tour, but can't imagine I would pull out that rather than just listen to Monoliths.

The most recent one on the page, from a couple of weeks ago in Bristol, was the most brutal Sunn show I've seen out of more than half a dozen, and features a Burning Witch cover at the start.

New interview via Whiney is up on Stereogum, too.
STEREOGUM: There was a story about dead pigeons falling out of the rafters somewhere during a Sunn O))) show that could use a fact-check. Is that real or fake?O’MALLEY: I’ve never seen a dead bird. I’ve never seen a dead creature.STEREOGUM: That’s what separates you guys from Slipknot.O’MALLEY: I guess so.ANDERSON: That’s one of the things.
O’MALLEY: I’ve never seen a dead bird. I’ve never seen a dead creature.
