That guy who gave Tony the Django record when he was 17 which inspired Tony to pick the guitars up again doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I've never heard or read of his name. But in a sense he actually played a huge role in the birth of Heavy metal. What if he never gave Tony that record? The course of metal music may have been quite different..
I was 15 in '72 and my brother got a Jethro Tull album (Aqualung) and 2 Sabbath albums (Paranoid and Master...) for his birthday, and still to this day, they are tied for my all time favorite bands, I'm a big prog fan also ...Gentle Giant, PFM, Van Der Graff Gen., Camel, Yes, Genesis etc. I also love Slayer , Exodus, Opeth, the heavier Metallica stuff, Iron Maiden ...
I always thought that the Jethro Tull song A New Day Yesterday from their 2nd album Stand Up sounded like a Black Sabbath song - the guitar tone anyway - with a flute
When I think of the origins of metal, when it became a force in art, I think of the "DURRDURRDURR DOODLEDOODLEDOODLEDOODLE" intro to Paranoid, and I feel all soft and fuzzy inside.
Can you imagine if Tony Iommi didn’t leave Jethro Tull? Now that would be a different story because if he didn’t leave the band, there would be no Sabbath.
Plus, if he stayed, then Martin Barre wouldn't have become Tull's guitarist. That would've been as big a tragedy as no Black Sabbath, as far as I'm concerned!
Black Sabbath with Ozzy Rules, however the best band that Ozzy was ever in, should have been known as The Blizzard of Ozz, featuring Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley, Don Airey, & Lee Kerslake. Ozzy’s 2rd best line up was Randy Rhoads, Rudy Sarzo, Lindsey Bridgewater & Tommy Aldridge, which later required Bob Daisley to write in the studio. Ozzy’s 3nd best band was Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler & Bill Ward. Ozzy’s 4th best band line up featured Jake E.Lee, Bob Daisley, Don Airey & Tommy Aldridge from the 1983 US Fest. Ozzy’s 5th best band line up was Brad Gillis, Rudy Sarzo, Lindsey Bridgewater & Tommy Aldridge from the Speak of the Devil, album & tour. Ozzy’s 6th best line up was the short lived amateur band Ozzy joined in 1967 called Rare Breed, featuring Roger Hope on rhythm guitar, Geezer Butler on rhythm guitar, Mick Hill on Bass & Tony Markham on drums, The line-up had formed in 1966 and were at first called "The Ruums”. Ozzy’s 7th best band was amateur obscure band known as “Approach” & or "The Music Machine" who had not yet played any gigs, and were led by a surly character named Mickey Breeze. Jeff Hibbard was their guitarist. Typically, Ozzy didn't get along with other members of the amateur group, and left after a few months in early 1967, before the band could play any bookings. Ozzy’s 8th best mythical band was formed in 1962, just prior to Ozzy dropping out of school at 14 years old, Ozzy had performed with a unknown band called The Black Panthers, internet famously featuring Captain Kangaroo as the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, Donny Osmond on bass & Finius the Skinniest on drums, before Captain Kangaroo hooked up with Mr. Green Jeans and went on a solo career. And the rest is history! Ozzy’s worst rendition of Sharon’s ever revolving circus of the Retirement Sucks era sidemen, propping up Ozzy, featured either Zakk Wylde, or Steve Vai, or Joe Holmes on guitar, Rob Trujillo, or Mike Inez, or Geezer Butler, or Bob Daisley on bass, Deen Castronovo, or Randy Castillo, or Mike Borden on drums, John Sinclair, or Rick Wakeman on keyboards, & either Robert Mason from Lynch Mob-Warrant or William Whitfield Crane IV, the from Ugly Kid Joe as vocalists, hidden off behind black curtains, off stage along with Ozzy’s offstage keyboardist, stationed next to the secret singers in vocal booths, propping up Ozzy’s live vocals from backstage!…LoL…🤟🏼
I bought a copy of The Rolling stones Rock 'n' roll circus..like in the'90's ... didn't even realize it was him til i read about it later...but i wasn't really paying attention to Jethro Tull...i think he was only in the band for 3 weeks or so...
I have a VHS copy of JTs Rock n Roll Circus, its...meeeh. JTs Crest of a Knave rocks! Steel Monkey, Rock Isiland and Catfisnh Rising are Bangers. That be sad, Toni Iommi and Sabbath are the Godfathers of Metal! LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH...DAMNIT,🎸 P.S. Thanks DOC!
The music of Tull - that would later be stamped-out, would have been far too complex to have complemented and suited Iommi’s playing abilities. It’s not to be taken as a knock. Progressive bands such as Tull, old Genesis with Peter Gabriel, Yes, ELP and Kansas did require a greater vocabulary of music theory and knowledge. Nothing wrong with simpler, straightforward heavy music but it’s not on the same level of proficiency including some formal schooling in music
Tony’s finger accident was in 1965. Rock and Roll Circus was filmed in the Winter of 1968
The riff in the verses of 'After Forever' is the same as the one behind the flute solo in 'Song For Jeffrey'.
Definitely similar rhythmic motif ...the first two bars, but not a rip-off, "after Forever" is one of my favorites \m/
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was a British concert film hosted by and featuring the Rolling Stones, filmed on 11-12 December 1968.

Bobby Keys played some great sax those early 70's Rolling Stones albums! And Bowie on Changes and Diamond Dogs too!

Also, Iommi did not like that Ian Anderson sat at a different table from the rest of the band when eating out.
That's what she said. 😂
I love metal and Black Sabbath the most. Thanks for the Sabbath content. It cured my depression 😅😊
Awesome. Glad to hear
Gimme my Black Sabbath, and no one gets hurt!
I always thought that the Jethro Tull song A New Day Yesterday from their 2nd album Stand Up sounded like a Black Sabbath song - the guitar tone anyway - with a flute
I never heard a note of Abba until Ghost covered them. I found a few songs by them I really liked.
You should check out Yngwie Malmsteen's cover of Gimme Gimme Gimme, it's fuckin' spectacular!

THE HORROR!!!
@@almosthuman56Thank God he did!!!
Imagine if they kept the name Polka Tulk?🤣
Plus, if he stayed, then Martin Barre wouldn't have become Tull's guitarist. That would've been as big a tragedy as no Black Sabbath, as far as I'm concerned!
@@EastCoastDave I was going to say that same thing Dave! The stars aligned and we ended up getting Kickass Sabbath and Kickass Tull!!!🤘
I love how this story was told in Iron Man. Cor Blimey, mate
haha you know you love the harp on the wizard!
I do?
@@almosthuman56 this one girl in Boston screamed at me to make it fucking stop when I cranked that once #braincramp
That shirt should say the first 11 Sabbath albums, maybe even the first 18 Sabbath albums

Stay safe Ralph,Milton looks bad! Hope your home is ok.
Thank you, I will

i think i must be the only person on earth who has never heard a Taylor Swift song,
You're not missing much dude.
I've never heard one. If she happened to be playing on the radio, I'm sure I changed the channel before I knew it was her.
Make that two…
Sabbath needed the Riff master. They would not be the same.

No Sabbath no metal, no life.

Jethro Tull plays the skin flute!!!
Fingers were chopped prior to the few week long Tull stint
Tony Iommi stated he lost his finger tips at 17 years old, which would put the accident in either 1965 or very early 1966….🤟🏼
Not a Jethro Tull fan at all, but perhaps there would never be a Black Sabbath had Tony not gone over to that band.
I think he chopped off his fingers when he was a teenager.
You like Taylor Swift. See ya .
bye
@@mikewilson3581 the guy left because I like some Taylor Swift songs. I see that as a very good thing. Hallelujah!
Thick As A Brick.
I dg that album. and song.
The truth was that Ian always had snots running down his nose and wore smeary shabby clothes. Not professional.
Everyone in the comment section has a special Nickelback song that brings a tear to their eye.
