How y'all doin?

[Heinz]

Cant say I've heard much of his jazz and blues.

He pioneered down tuning for his fingers but wouldnt call the creator of metal. Definitely a GOD in defining the genre.

Tony Iommi created Metal bottom line. Led Zeppelin has always been more rock oriented, as was Deep Purple. But when you heard the Opening of Black Sabbath on their first album, a new genre was born


(this is the best I could do to find the song)

Oh, and Iommi played all his Jazz/Blues stuff before he formed sabbath. THey used to travel as Polka Tulk and earth, among other names, and they played a fusion of jazz and blues. On their first album, there's a very obvious blues influence as well.

 

[Marcel]

Marcel, Tony Iommi is the lead guitarist for Black Sabbath, plays missing the tips of two fingers, and he can play (and created) metal, jazz, and blues.

Ah of course, the one with the plastic fingers, didn't know his name though, sorry.

 

[Heinz]

Yea like I said he defined the genre but even the Beatles had early Heavy Metal ideas in the late 60s with helter Skelter.

Bottom line is Iommi is a god to all that listen to him..........

Whatever you say, I drink the blood of non-believers and worship him in my private shrine

You'll probably get nauseus

But he's a good one, especially because he only has half his fingers.

 

[Jugulator]

Yeah. He's still great though. He's my favorite guitarist of all time, and what inspired me to play guitar. I still love the slow and moody stuff as opposed to uber fast. I dunno, I just think something gets lost with all that speed.

Exactly, guitar playing is about emotion, not just technique. But it does help

 

[Jugulator]

Yes, that it does.
