Tony Iommi Lita Ford Live 1984

[@amberfwn]

Lita's my heroine.

[@kosjeyr]

To kiss or not to kiss her deadly?

[@angiegordin1018]

Yeah Lita !!!! Rock Queen 🎸

[@longtotem6580]

Toni is such a gentleman

[@chrisretro81]

Lita said differently in her book (at the time of their relationship at least). The thing is, it's her perspective and there is normally two sides to the story, if not three sides. Drugs played a huge part. I personally agree that he seems a very nice gentleman now. I think he was pretty rough in his younger days he'd give people a good smack of they fucked with him, men mainly

Mr. Anthony "Riff Master" Frank Iommi 🎸 ⚡ 🔥

[@patsycantu-lanier1845]

I love you lita!

[@salvadorespinoza155]

Hahahaha good one... Tony is a gentleman... He let Lita do her stuff... 'Cause everyone knows than Tony is the best guitar player ever, he doesn't need to compite against anyone, he obviously can won anytime he wants ;)

[@akaboo69]

They play alot alike

[@TheHighwinder]

Lita wrote in her book that she thoroughly enjoyed upstaging Tony during this performance out of sheer vengeance because they had broken up by this point. Granted, Tony was a jerk because he was on drugs, and even admits it in his own book. But the truth she left out of her book is that Tony was in bad shape because of drugs during this performance and still kicked major ass as seen here. The other truth she leaves out is that this was as good as Lita ever played. Personal message to Lita: Every single song and album this man ever wrote were pure brilliant masterpieces and went down in history while the only hit you've ever had required bringing in a completely wasted Ozzy as a crutch (as stated in your own book).

[@Alcotoxic]

Fuck yeah !! They rock

[@savannahskol8369]

Tony Iommi won!!!!!!!

[@livinglifewithmanny6082]

awsome this is your friend manuel dude

[@Supertzar999]

Tony's the ultimate reese!

[@richardhincemon]

Just a jam session not about who's better 😂

[@Supertzar999]

They must'v argued a lot over which was better, her little pink guitar or his SG!

[@comingafteryou9602]

I’m from Armenia and he is a legend

[@verresmilliterres]

The only thing they argued about was Lita restringing Tony's guitar upside down. He is a lefty with two finger phalanges cut off from an accident. Everything about his guitar was made for "him" plus, he's a lefty. I think he swatted her for that eventually. She's waiting for him to die so she can cry victim in today's anti-male environment. I, personally would have swatted her myself.

GR8T

[@RCAvhstape]

Nobody told Napoleon Dynamite he was playing bass for metal gods that day?

[@jsnowdendavies]

Lita has some bluesy economy going on - not just shredding away. Tony is playing the JayDee Old Boy SG before the finish wore off.

[@221b-l3t]

The finish wore off on day one. This isn't Old Boy I think

[@RedElephantStampede]

Check out Flock of Seagulls/Buddy Holly on bass.

[@comokeno]

Check out HSAS Through The Fire - Kenny Aaronson on bass...

[@jefferyfite7122]

Chuck Leavell formerly of the Allman Brothers and Sea Level was on keyboards. An odd addition to this moment.

[@1norville]

............And then he woke up.

[@Veronica4u2day]

Lita outplayed him BIG TIME !!!!!

[@verresmilliterres]

I play guitar and NO, lol she did not. She hung around the 5th fret throughout and that was the extent of her playing. Everything she did I can do just as well. Tony outplayed her both with skill and creativity with little effort as this little blues number didn't require much from either of them.

[@Supertzar999]

@@verresmilliterres I just think the whole thing's funny. I picture Lita nagging Tony and telling him it needs to sound happy and have a womans touch. Him telling her no, it needs to sound dark and evil and to quit pissing him off.

[@angiegordin1018]

@@verresmilliterres nah. Lita kicked his ASS!!!!

[@richardhincemon]

​@angiegordin1018 just a jam session 😂not a contest ha ha 😅

[@trustobey1016]

Some time after this, she left him.

[@matercicero9148]

He was under drugs and violent with her.

[@Supertzar999]

@@matercicero9148 I'm sure they argued over playing styles. Lita wanted to play happy bluesy shit and nagged him to change his tune. Tony would only play stuff that made the sun hide under a cloud.

[@Perle3456]

Lita Ford is presently November 2011 going through a divorce :)

[@spacecowboy1956]

@qmevasadecirami they were engaged for a short time

[@Supertzar999]

Until she tried to change his sound to be less dark and evil. Then he wanted his ring back.

[@RedElephantStampede]

Tony, how did you fuck this up?

[@DrewPDrawzz]

Tony 'moved on'....

[@Supertzar999]

More like, how did Tony have the patience for this?

[@Fongolitus]

These two make a good team, who's the bassist?

[@comokeno]

Kenny Aaronson on Bass, Michael Shrieve on Drums . Don´t know on keyboads...

[@mrnomad55]

Lita kicked Tony's ass on this jam for sure and I think he knew it.

[@micheleteso9499]

Rita won won won :-)

[@Supertzar999]

Darth Vader say's otherwise.

[@verresmilliterres]

I'm fairly certain this wasn't a contest lol. Also, your ears are biased. He was faster and cleaner and didn't stay in a cozy zone of playing like Lita did.

[@brunolanasantos5604]

Funny fact: Iommi was so addicted to drugs this time that he forgot all his riffs and Lita had to teach all of them to him before the show since she loved Sabbath.

[@jeyell41]

Nah

[@bls8959]

Im calling bullshit on that

[@patrickmohan2220]

Absolute nonsense.

[@richardhincemon]

Just a jam session not a riff is played from the Sabbath Era 😅

[@aa11ct9]

Why did you lie? What's the need for it?

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

WHere is this from???

[@elgherasta]

1984 performance

[@kosjeyr]

Is it just me or is the bass way too loud? Can someone help me find Iommi's part if Lita and him are not doing a duet? Thanks

[@Supertzar999]

The bass and drumbeat is pretty generic. If it was War Pigs, Lita would be lost.

[@rawknroller1]

Well, maybe, but i wouldn't say, that this as something very far from his way of playing. I mean, this was a blues rock/hard rock jam. Tony plays this stuff as ell as Lita does.

[@ozzy2k11]

i don't think this was tony's style, the beat and stuff going on didn't allow him to do his dark sort of solos

[@Supertzar999]

Yep. Lita's wanting to play all happy blues riffs and Tony wants to make the sun go away.

[@mrnomad55]

Oh I shurly do. check out my chanel and see for your self

[@misko1961]

you probably dont play any instruments to say something like that

[@mottahead6464]

She's just ripping off Jimmy Page.
