True greats of heavy metal...Tony Iommi a true master, people talk about Hendricks, Page etc all true great players, but this guy well some say he developed the power chords that drive heavy rock /metal a true master and in my top 5 of string pickers...tour should be great...
First I pee'd with excitement..
Iommi is the guy who made me pick up a guitar.. (a black Gibson SG of course!)
Then I wept with sorrow..

Black Sabbath Reunion
I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.
At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, "Are you getting back together?"
Thanks to the internet it's gone round the world as some sort of "official" statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.
to my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.
All the best, Tony
Awesome Band
Sabbath: LOVE 'EM!!
I heard 'Paranoid' on the in-store public muzak system in Big W a coupla weeks ago - I enjoyed listening to it but ... BIG W??!!
How could you not like the vocals on this dude ?
