Black Sabbath - Iron Man *Live* 1970

[takerdust]

good thing the guys from this band are all still alive

[eirrac54]

I did see them do it live... unbefuckinglievable, in Sydney 1972, I still rate it as the best live concert I've ever seen... :)~~

best recording of this song

[MrSologod]

whart tuning does sabbath use

[humerus1987]

standard tuning EBGDAE

[ineedanamee]

the song is in standard tuning, but i'm pretty sure Iommi is in Eb tuning (half step) in this particular concert

[PictishPrince]

@MrSologod Tony used drop tuning all the time normally the following (C# F# B E G# C#). He did this in order to play properly as he was missing parts of two fingers and substituted thimbles or other specially made metal appendages in order to play. The looser strings allowed him to pull off the bends and gave him the distinctive sound. Geezer was able to play right along tuned normally on his bass as the entire band were genius in their grasp of music.
