Black Sabbath has the 6th-most passionate fans
Link for Chuck Klosterman's take in the Guardian on which bands have the most uber fans.
LINK: "(Mollison's) subjects of his portraits are rock fans. Mollison has been making simple portraits of people at rock concerts, which he then stitches together into panoramic images. Of course the fun part is guessing which concerts these various tribes have just attended. The people in the image above, for instance, have just seen a Rob Stewart show....in this work, he asks us to looks at individuals as members of larger groups. By doing so, he reveals the tribalism that has always been part of rock and roll idolatry."
Link for Charlie Auringer's Black Sabbath shot from 1970 at Backstage.
