      Definitely Sweet Leaf, and I was disappointed they omitted Wicked World and Fairies Wear Boots. I just recently became aware of Into The Void - I don't know how I'd overlooked it. I know you can never win with these lists, but Iommi is one of the most innovative guitar players ever, and the songs in this list miss some of the best examples thereof. At least in my humble opinion…

    To me, Black Sabbath is the father of metal and Tony is the reason. His riffage, his tone and style are as metal as one can get. Then you put a rhythm section like Ward and Geezer behind him, then Ozzy on point...you got a metal behemoth. Even today, if you are playing this kind of music, you owe a debt of gratitude for what they established and what metal is.

    Tony Iommi is like one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time and maybe the greatest metal guitarist that's ever started his career as a guitar musician. He developed a unique tone that defined heavy metal and he with Black Sabbath pioneered not only heavy metal, but also doom metal. I think he's the earliest actual metal guitarist to use the heavy palm mute. He was one of the best riff writers and players. Also, he has written amazing solos and has played them with a lot of amazing control with timing, vibrato, and bends. We miss Black Sabbath and we remember their music.

    Just to see, I went and listened to Led Zeppelin’s sound during 1969-1970 (about the same time Paranoid was being recorded), to see how heavy the guitar sound was and, the level of heaviness that Tony Iommi’s guitar tone achieved is, it’s crazy. I know there were possibly other bands that were heavier at the time but I’m just going by Zeppelin since they’re often compared.

    Most songs have 2 or 3 cool riffs. You need a top 30 best Iommi riffs. He's the riff maker.

    @43captrexkramer 2 роки тому +3

    It is literally impossible to limit the list to 50, you know the way SRV's contemporaries like B.B. King said that the blues just flowed out of him. Well Mr. Iommi tapped into a never ending stream of supreme riffage.

    children of the grave , warpigs and electric funeral are one of the few riffs that really make me groove. Iommi is a god in his own way, when I list these 3 songs, im not trying to say that the other riffs are any less better. They all rock

    Let me try to come up with my top 10:
    (honourable mention:) Planet Caravan
    10. Immaculate Deception
    9. The Wizard
    8. N.I.B.
    7. I
    6. Bible Black
    5. Black Moon (look it up if you haven't heard it, I absolutely love that riff)
    4. Iron Man
    3. Headless Cross
    2. Heaven and Hell
    1. Into the Void
    But you can't really go wrong with Iommi. I'm pretty sure the guy is literally not able to write a sub-par riff.

      @royalcat10 9 років тому +22

      +Denver Dubtle I don't think they're stealing anything. I think it's pretty damn obvious that they didn't personally film all of the videos in their list, and can go without saying. If they claimed the footage as their own, that'd be different, but they aren't.
      But more over, how do you know they don't ask for permission first? I could be missing something obvious here, but to my knowledge as of now, you're just making assumptions.

    • @denverdubrule500

    • @royalcat10
      @royalcat10 9 років тому +2

      Denver Dubtle They should, but it's unnecessary for this type of video. The only time giving credit is imperative is when you make a product and say "All of the content is mine." or you are doing research on something and need to give credibility to yourself by saying someone smart said this. And this video is neither. It'd be nice, if they did give credit, but in the end it'd just end up being a few people ever see it and turn into just wasted time and effort, because pretty much every person who is thinking straight already knows that the only thing they did was put the video together, and not film each individual thing.
