War Pigs is an amazing song performed by the perfect group of people that makes it instantly recognizable. It's not about how fast you can play, or how many drum fills you can do, it's about song writing and playing the right parts for the song with the exact tone it needs. That's true talent.

Joel Brown well said. You can find 1000+ guitarists in any city that can shred like there's no tomorrow, but there's only one band that could've written War Pigs. That's where the real talent lies- the composition and tone sculpting.

@IAmTheLiquor Lahey Tony, my bad. I never implied any disrespect to Tony or you. You made it "nasty", so that's that. Sure, shredding can quickly become non-musical (e.g. Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Batio, etc.). However, in my humble opinion Eddie perfectly balances shred and melody on a number of occasions. As a band they have made a lot of poor songs, but Eddie is a brilliant instrumentalist with tremendous feel in my book. I never said it was a competitive sport, I merely stated the irrefutable fact that Eddie is technically superior to Tony. Once again, that's neither bad or good. It just is. It all depends on which parameters you set up. If you're measuring the skill level et takes to play Ed's most difficult parts to Tony's then Ed is the professor and Tony is the kindergardener. That's also neither bad or good, it's just a fact. I'll leave you Tony fanboys to it in your Sabbath echo chamber.

Over the past few months I've been trancribing every song from Paranoid, as a way to improve as a guitar player. Only Rat Salad and War Pigs remain, and I should be done with them over the next few weeks. Two things caught my attention: First, it's incredible how rhythm-driven Black Sabbath used to be. There's not a lot of notes per second, but still there is so much energy and richness to their music. These guys really worked as a band, and not as a pile of musical egoes. Second, I was amazed to realize that transcribing Sabbath songs actually made me learn a whole lot more about Blues than about Heavy Metal itself. Of course you can hear the foundations of heavy metal in their music, but it's also got lots of elements from early American music, which have been unfortunately lost by most heavy metal bands these days. Wondering which album I'm gonna transcribe next... There's just so much stuff to be learned out there.

Tommy's so great to listen to, as both a speaker and a player. I could listen to him speak about Sabbath forever, and I could hear him play it forever.

Amazing.. with the two fingertips chopped, so much willpower to play the instrument. And being rewarded for perseverance by becoming the best ever rock guitarists, composer, producer. Kudos to Tonyi!!!! I love the less technical guys, like Tony or Pete Townshend, they don't lose the sight of music behind the speed

God I love Toni, even without finger tips, he's still the greatest heavy metal player of all time. He literally created metal, with out 2 finger tips. That's like Neal Armstrong walking on the moon with one leg. The greatness of this man blows my mind.

There’s a subtle jankyness to his groove that makes him stand out with his rhythm playing . His style mixed with geezer and wards lockdown on the pocket made for some historic hard rockin that has influenced millions. That’s nothing short of brilliant.

This is really cool to see Tony Iomi demonstrate the guitar riffs for one of my all time favorite Sabbath tunes "War Pigs"! The album Paranoid was the first Vinyl LP of hard rock I had heard. Awesome!

I really like all the mistakes he made while playing. Shows you he's just a human being, capable of error. And how much stuff is cleaned in the studio.
