    As much as heroes like Chuck Schuldiner, Marty Friedman, Jerry Cantrell, Dime, and others have had an Impact on me, I can never deny how Tony was the guy that first led me to the instrument. World really just wouldn’t be the same without him.

      I always found it weird that for being the FIRST true heavy band, all these years later it's still way heavier in actual feel than alot of modern metal, and also still just as original sounding as ever. Also the band's self titled song is still unbelievable to this day for being so heavy and evil sounding.

    Tony Iommi is and was for all time in music one of the very few a world changer's with his sound ,his riffs and his ability .If there was no Tony there would be no Sabbath . He was to be in all aspects meant to be who he was like EVH, J.Hendrix's and a few other's not to mention. When Sabbath came out I was 15 years of age a have been playing guitar for 6 years and Tony pushed me at that time like others to a new level yes Sabbath was in my blood like others. I am now 69 year of age and still play Iommi riffs so I can say it will all ways be part of me and I am sure there are so many more out there . Yes it's Good stuff to live and look back on. If anyone from Tony's camp see's this tell him to check out on You Tube Cooking with Frankie Meatball BLACK SABBATH PIZZA STORY ,that 's my story, Tony know's me, I play Guitar on the show with my story . I think Tony will like it and have a good laugh or two.

    No question the two earliest were Tony Iommi and Richie Blackmore. Then came Glen Tipton and then Michael Schenker right on his heels. Iommi and Blackmore bulldozed everything out of the way and dug the foundation, Schenker and to a lesser extent Tipton, poured the concrete and Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads built the house for what became 80's metal.
