  • In this episode, we have Black Sabbath’s guitarist and the godfather of heavy metal, Tony Iommi.
    At the time of the interview in 1984, Iommi was 36 years old and was promoting Black Sabbath’s Born Again album and tour.
    In the interview, Iommi talks about Ian Gillan joining Black Sabbath and blowing up his boat, thoughts on Ozzy Osbourne remaking old Sabbath tunes, the Born Again live show, Randy Rhoads, and how he really did disturb the priest.
    The interview is conducted by a new Tapes Archive contributor, Canadian music journalist and author Steve Newton.

    Black Sabbath's 'Born Again' was the 1st big stadium show I had ever seen. For a kid deeply into rock and metal in the early 1980's, it blew my fucking mind. When that little demon baby came out, with the glowing eyes clawing at the crowd! I can still remember feeling my shirt moving from the sound of Geezer's bass. Incredible memory and thanks for the release of this vid.

      @@TheTapesArchive In the years since, I've looked and never found it, but I believe it was during the opening/1st couple songs (Stonehenge/Disturbing the Priest). I do remember 2 hooded priests bathed in fog came out right after and opened the center stone henge monolith to reveal a cross of spotlights that blasted the audience (as you can see in most videos), but being a 14yo kid and the camera restrictions back then, pre-vhs(?), etc. A friend still has the tour book but you can find those online. I so wish I could help! fwiw, Quiet Riot opened and it was Rudy Sarzo's birthday and they hit him in the face with a pie during the set. This was at University of Chicago (UIC Pavillion), 1983.

    The played inside of a molasses vat thrown in the bottom of a swamp, recorded on a Fisher Price microphone run thru a Marshall stack with a slashed cone and a half broken Sears distortion pedal with sketchy wires while consumption of literal mountains of Peruvian marching powder was under way is the sound that a lot of people didnt like about this lp. This however is EXACTLY the reason I love it so dearly. Gillan screaming and screeching his unhinged whirlpool of deliciously tongue in cheeky evil lyrics is the other. You dont even really have to be a Sabbath or Purple fan to love Born Again. Sheer transcendant brilliance.

    I was fortunate to see Black Sabbath back then. It was one of a kind show, and was one of the best shows I've ever seen. It competes with Judas Priest when I saw them during the DOF tour, and it also competes with another Black Sabbath tour, and then another Black Sabbath tour, lol. Yes, I've been to over 100 concerts, but, relatively speaking, there's a short list of the best.

    I've always preferred the deeper tracks of Sabbath which is why I have always liked this album. Imo it was the last "evil" type of Sabbath record. I'm more of a 70's Sabbath fan but Born Again was so unique in its own way it always stood out to me. Every Sabbath album has it's own sound. My favorites have been Vol-4 and Sabotage for decades. People who think the band's best output are songs like Paranoid and Iron Man that the radio has overplayed to no end are really missing out. In the last 20 years Sabbath have finally got their just due but for the longest time even a lot of those great records made with Ozzy (besides Paranoid) flew under the radar. It's like if the mainstream only played the same 3 songs off Zeppelin 2 and ignored the rest of their discography, that's what basically happened with Sabbath and it's criminal.

    I think Born Again was a great album but I am biased, Ian Gillan is one of my favorite singers. Tony says he didn't understand why Ozzy released the Speak of the devil album because he'd had his own songs. Ozzy released it because he was under contract and didn't want to release what would become the Ozzy/Randy tribute album. Ozzy said it was too early at that time and didn't want to exploit Randy basically as a commodity. RIP Randy... Rock on Master Tony.

    I remember the day Born Again came out. i was in the 12th grade. I think it cane out in 83, because we saw them in early 84 at long beach arena from excellent riser seats about 10 rows back from the stage. On Iommi’s side
    I was let diwn when they did not perform TRASHED, which was the first song on the album, if I recall. They had a Stonehenge stage set up that was cool, even if it was a little bit cheesy.
    With Dio in 82 at the Forum, they were one of THE loudest bands i had seen (a record they hold to this day.. they were in the top 3 loudest bands I have seen).
    With Ian Gillian they were not quite as loud and they seemed to have a grungier sound. Trashy, in a sense, which I figured to be their new sound with this lineup.
    Apparently I liked that lineup better than the average Sabbath historian, as i noticed lots of criticism over the years since that tour.
    Why they didnt perform “Trashed” is beyond me. It was a jammin’ tune and could have been a hit in many tours to come.
    Or at least thats how I felt about it.
    It definitely wasnt their best work, but it WAS interesting. The album, i mean.
    I saw them with Dio again in 92
    and finally again on August 11th, 2009 at The Greek, Row R , orchestra ( got those seats at noon the day of the show from the Greek box office by phone-yaaaaaay! Again, on Iommi’s side, right in front of him.
    And again, they were louder than hell. They were quite good, too.
    Dio died 5 months later. Was so glad we got to see them again before he died.

    The Heaviest Metal ( by 1980s standards) were definitely Mob Rules, and Born Again. Some people think Dehumanizer is the Heaviest. It's the swampiest but nothing is as Heavy as Sign of the Southern Cross, and Disturbing the Priest. There is more to being Heavy than down tuning the guitars

    of course Iommi mentions Dio was working on his solo album while he was in sabbath, that is false because Dio on started his solo album after he left sabbath, warner gave Dio a record contract with the success of heaven and hell but he was not going to use it while the band was active, Warner themselves even forgot they gave Dio a record contract. but Holy Diver and Don't talk to strangers were intended for Sabbath's next studio album with Dio. Dio having wrote these himself.

Watch him in 1983 or 2013 and you get the same songs in almost the same order.

Too much screaming by Gillian, the guitar was muddled. I missed the earlier Dio years and last saw Sabbath in ‘78 in Philly… I am glad I saw Fastway and Quiet Riot.

    ecording of the album turned me off and I was hoping one day it would get remixed. I also thought the album cover was pretty bad, but you cannot judge an album by the cover. I also think the Heaven and Hell cover was a bit silly but it is my favorite Sabbath album!

    Iommi's thought process around what Deep Purple song to cover is so broken. Do the most known song? NO. You do Highway Star. It's the one of the most metal songs they do and way more appreciated by DP fans than Smoke on the Water.

    • @streamofconsciousness5826
      @streamofconsciousness5826 Рік тому

      I think his main concern was which one could he play, i watched the encore where they do the Purple stuff at the Montreal gig (here on uTube), and he does not play it right, and the lead does not even start on the same note or have any phrasing or melodies from the original. I stopped it half way through it was such a mess.
      I was disappointed but have learned since then that none of these guys can play other peoples stuff. That's not the kind of Guitar Players they are, they have been jamming and writing their whole lives, not sitting in a bed room learning Randy and Yngwie. Any covers they learned (Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Elvis) were not even close to what they ended up doing.
      The only one from that era I have seen do a cover note for note is Alex Lifeson playing a Zeppelin Song for a charity event, he NAILED it. Look up Andy Kim and Alex Lifeson. you should be able to find it of you are interested.
      And his Lerxst Amp creates a sound just like the song as well. That also surprised me.
