Sometime around 1971 or 1972 I saw the most mis-matched concert in history: Yes and Black Sabbath. Yes destroyed Black Sabbath, and we left halfway through the headliner’s set.

Worse yet I saw Van Halen open for them in Philly. After Eddie tore it up on guitar Tony should have went home.

Eddie Van Halen would be playing Do Wop if it wasn't for Tony Iommi. Metallica would be playing Sha Na Na and Franki Valli covers.

Agreed. Most of those guys owe their careers to Tony and Geezer Butler.

Bingo. I saw Sabbath at the Fox in Atlanta in '84. Tony did a 15 minute solo onstage alone, and it was amazing, let alone the concert as a whole. (And I am a musician with hundreds of concerts under my belt.)

You can get repetetive strain injury on a hand? Is it just guitarists? Maybe I better learn to use my other hand, just to be safe.

I agree - expecially with the bluegrass flatpicking talents.
(Tony Rice!)

I really do like ‘Buckethead’, though.

Personally, I think this is punishment from above for destroying the sanctity and beauty of music, not to mention lots of eardrums.

Tonni is and always was a pretty lame guitarist . There would be no Eddie if there were no Hendrix perhaps. We’re talking about people who revolutionized the instrument.

Eddie is and always was a pretty lame song writer. He may be able to revolutionize an instrument, but Tony revolutionized music itself, inventing an entirely new genre.

Try, “Heart of the Sunrise” and “Perpetual Change” over “Paranoid.” It wasn’t close.

I've played all styles, and most of the guys I know that play country now came from the rock bands first. Take a look at most of the bands for today's country acts. They are all rock & rollers that found out they could make a lot of money playing country. I personally know a few of them that play in Nashvegas.

At first I thought the stem cells would help grow back the tips of the fingers he lost in a factory accident before the start of BS.
