[@kosmic100]

[@_gabsantiagoo]

@@kosmic100 Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath basicaly created Metal. After a while, came Black Metal, which had a lot of movements that burned down churches in Norway.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

What if Tony hadn't lost his fingers in that industrial accident? His guitar playing wouldn't have sounded as unique. He was filling in for a woman who called in sick that day. What if she didn't call in sick? And Tony had actually quit the job the day before but his mother told him to back to work and finish because "Iommi's don't quit!". What if his mom hadn't told him that? Makes you think how small, insignificant events can have a big impact on future events.

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

His solos would've sounded better, but you can't fault the man for that. It's cooler knowing it didn't stop him from being an influential guitar player.

[@ShonenBeats]

Then, that woman will be who invented metal, of course

[@ix-Xafra]

Having worked in a automotive punch press factory of a large scale I can tell you its the factory that invented heavy metal. All the clinks and clanks and moans and shear snapping, scraps falling, air hissing and hydraulic whines ... Tony heard this all this chaos sound and rearranged it into composition

Actually cool thing about that song is that particular tritone progression of notes was chosen very deliberately. Legend claims it was outlawed in many countries by the church way way back because it sounds so evil, but legends are probably just legends. It’s considered an evil interval because it divides the octave in half with an augmented 4th and it sounds creepy. It’s also apparently hard to sing. It is called the devil’s interval. :)

Rock n Roll was strictly verboten in our house by my strict disciplinarian father so while he was at work, my mother and older sister held an estrogen fueled monopoly on the early SoCal AM dial so I was brow beaten by the Beatles played every 4 minutes from 9 to 5 while Dad was away at work and then I was inundated by the evening news tellin me that the "Conflict" overseas was not a "War" when the dead guys on TV sure made it look like it was one and then until Dad went to sleep, I was lullabied to dreamland being told of a place called Muskogee where they dont take trips on ABCs or something like that so Tony, Geezer, Bill n Ozzy, from the bottom a my heart, I cant thank what WWII did to you four demented fucks in Birmingham enough!!
