He is a great song writer that created heavy metal and all the other genres from it. What else do you want? He is a good lead guitarist considering what they were like back then with soloing.
@koletski21 Tony Iommi tuned his strings down three half steps for the album to give it a darker sound. He normally had it tuned down half a step because he got his fingertips cut off. don't believe me, look it up
@cartmammainia I am aware of that, I used to enjoy playing some of Iommi's licks as a teenager learning guitar. In retrospect Iommi was no technique genius but in comparison he was about average for hard rock guitar, plus we can spot him a little for being at a disadvantage.
Jesus is the only hope of salvation from the guilt of sin. He is God come in the flesh. And he came to wash away our sins with his blood that he shed on the cross. Salvation is a free gift, but you must repent and ask Jesus to save you from your sins and come into your heart. God is good. It is written, "The just shall live by his faith."
@ChristianU2ubeh No this is way more bad ass The Hellion just stroking the guitar this has a mean ass organ or some shit llike that its so fucking metal!
@THEwhiteRHIN0 This is a full, nice and f**king awesome song. "Just because it's short, people started to think it must be some kind of prelude to Children of the Grave. Well it's not." -Tonny Iommy
Ha,Ha, Every time I hear this, all I think about is Ozzy doing his little Hop-scotch / Irish Dance on Stage...... Something like ( Spinal-Tap ),,LOL..
Good sound on this vid. Nice and loud without overdriving my speakers. TYI..The slow and heavy songs that comprise most of the album are interspersed with quiet ballads written by Tony Iommi. Two of these, "Embryo" and "Orchid", are short instrumentals serving as interludes. (or so says wiki!)
If your woman is pregnant play this to her belly a couple times a day.... by the time the baby is born and you play this... it will turn and look at you with a smile.
@AgainstTheWind001 well great minds think alike, my mum played this album almost exclusively throughout her pregnancy. and whenever i hear the gentle songs on this album , it makes me feel very comforted. =)
@AgainstTheWind001 Also, Planet Caravan. I set up speakers all around my bed, and used to sleep in some strange trancendental bongo-infused alternate universe. Both, excellent instrumentation.
@Teutonic1250 yes it's on the guitar and I don't know why it's actually called "Embryo" but I think it has something to do with this song being the prelude to the song "Children Of The Grave".
