I am absolutely devastated and saddened by these facts ... cancer is a difficult disease .. I will pray for Tony ... for your your fight against the disease ... your fans want you to remain here ...
wtf no way just found out tony's got fucking cancer,i hope to fuck he'll fight through it! hes my all time hero and,shit is he fucking amazing guitarist he made rock and roll what it was and what it still is were not losing you iommi your a fighter and my all time hero!
This just shows u what Sabbath is all about - really simple music that's really fucking incredible. Translation: there is no substitute for a good idea. You can be the Mozart of guitar, but if you dont' have a good idea, you aint' shit. Look at Tony - 3 or 4 notes put together in very simple fashion, and u got the most evil sounding shit ever invented!!! If Heavy Metal was the universe - this is what the big bang looks like!!!!
Sorry. But, to all of you idiots who "banged your head" for so many years - here is an OLD guy, with VELCRO shoes - playing a few riffs that you probably killed MILLIONS of brain-cells listening to. At the time, you thought it was "so powerful". And what was it? A few chords, and a foot-pedal.
I never understood the "angst" of the whole 80's thing. "I'm so pissed off that I can't get a good part in the center". Superfluous malaise - and now THIS is the generation "in charge". Any wonder?
@xROFLCOPTER420 tony is not exactly 20 years old anymore. He is man in his 60's and he most likely wears those shoes for comfort the fact he finds discomfort and raising his foot or bending over for any length of time to tie his shoes. As we age the lower back is not what it use to be.
all are talking about the shoes XD remember tony is from the worker class man, who work hard and lost two fingers in a factory , tony is a humble guy, he doesnt have to have expensives shoes or expensive clothes to be who he is
For those wondering about the Iommi's pedal, it's a "Tychobrahe Parapedal" (according to iommi.com). This pedal is not made anymore. You can find clones though.
has tony ever written a bad riff? all i have to do is see the title of a sabbath song and the riff will come to me. and gibson should change the name of the SG to the TI, cause it's the Tony Iommi guitar.
@badcellmate What exactly is wrong with wearing velcro strapped shoes? I don't wear them my self, but there's no doubt about it, it's much quicker than having to squat to tie shoelaces. Maybe it saves him time, or maybe he just feels more comfortable?
@fasteddie720 yeah well i suppose as people age, you are talking about a man in his 60's, mind you, they want spend less time bending over tying their shoes because the old lower back is not what it use to be or they may be having trouble raising their foot up to a comfortable point where they can tie their shoes. It happens.
@VincentL7 maybe you missed the part of my comment where i said hes the man? im not saying anything bad towards him...i also wanted to respond to your comment by saying ONE BREAK COMINGGGGGG UPPPPPPPP.
@fasteddie720 an elder devil may be allowed in his own home to enjoy comfortable footwear after all those years of wearing boots made of human skin bleached then dyed with retina fluid.
@TheSLK66 i respect u for the comment u hv done here. black sabbath, tony iommi and his guitar riffs are internal soul of heavy metal..some silly magazines (rolling stone) do rating for greatest guitarist of all time and they place tony iommi at 86th or 94th position. pretty lame..it depends on listeners and people who have some knowledge of heavy metal, hard rock n rock n roll music. they say led zepp the greatest heavy metal band. god knows they were acoustic band. i'm 4rm INDIA :)
@Nortatem I'm pretty sure he's using an original Tycobrahe ParaPedal which I'm guessing are very hard to find these days and would cost a fortune. Chicago Iron makes a copy of it named the Parachute. (Iommi might be using one of these in this video idk). Even the copy is way outta my price range, I'm guessing around $300-400us.
@gl797 Thanks, I don't mind saving up some mad cash for a great sounding wah. It seems to have a tighter envelope than say a Dunlop or Morley. Definitely better than the Dan-o-Wah, I'd love to get something better than my VOX though.
@Nortatem I've used the standard Dunlop crybaby, Vox and a couple different Morleys. I just bought a Crybaby Classic wah that is the best one I've tried yet..much better than the standard Crybaby. I bought it used on ebay for $20. I just posted a video response to this video using it. It's nowhere near a tycobrahe but I like it.
@Zugy011 Get yourself an orange amp, check out the newer band The Sword they have a real sabbath sound and I've seen them use all orange plus they look badass
@DragosBCskater it does not have the tip of two fingers as he lost in a factory when he was younger Ozzy talks about this in his biography and then he feis tips of these fingers with a bottle of liquid fire, and put back to look more like leather skin
