I guess we'll call them names for wearing a mask?
No name calling necessary. Both are legendary rockers who deserve a mountain of respect for their talent. Both are also likely left wing nut jobs, which doesn’t address the masks as even some of my most conservative friends are germophobic and/or compromised.
Well, we know carlos is for his fashion taste or wearing chez t-shirts with a sports coat. Guess he doesn’t know that chez would have had him offed fairly quickly.
Doesn’t Iommi have cancer?
Can they really be sure it’s Robert Plant? :)
Lymphoma. In remission but yeah, no reason for him to be taking chances.
Iommi is a 72-year-old cancer patient who is in remission at the moment. I’d say any fears he’d have, with that kind of co-morbidity, would be justified.
Robert Plant is not known for playing a guitar.
Left handed guitar will be harder to find a buyer unless they buy it for investment? It’s not Tony’s personal guitar so not sure what it’s value is other than their 2 signatures on it.
If that’s an actual ‘61 Gibson SG in original condition it is worth more that $4-6K without being vandalized.
Looks to me that both have abandoned Britain for California.
I dunno...There are LOTS of flubros who would likely mock and belittle men for wearing these virtue-signaling death-incubators that scientifically don’t stop a virus that is basically no worse than the common cold and the numbers are faked blah blah blah...
With an achin' in his heart.
Iommi was briefly with Jethro Tull, here he is performing with them on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.

Why Steve Marriott was better than Plant, better singer, and he was a heck of a guitar player to boot.
