      For my Final in my “60’s in America” class I took for an elective, I compared Simon and Garfunkel with Black Sabbath. I cited several lyrics by S&G that, though melodically and beautifully delivered, were actually sad and borderline sociopathic; playing “I Am A Rock” as an example. Then, several lyrics by the much maligned Black Sabbath, that were actually totally about peace and love, but delivered in an aggressive and boisterous manner; playing “Children of the Grave” as an example. Got an A+.

Hillage is a master, blending minimalism and rock, truly a electronic wizard of music with his brand of progressive rock with intellect and soul. And some of most virtuosic English guitar of all time!

Frightening trill speed. His lead playing is blistering fast, and yet he possesses the experience to use his ability sparingly and tastefully.

And then they mention Django and Joe Pass, two of my favorite Jazz guitarists and I didn't know all these years that Tony was influenced by both guitarists, makes sense. I love all the heavy guitar Sabbath songs but thank you Tony for changing up the tempo and being completely diverse but simple. Cheers!
