Tony Iommi by Trick-or-treat. Later doing interview with Cozy Powell about Ian Gillan. Also shows unrealised footage from the music video Trashed (Born Again).
They gave him a record by his ex band mate, a poster of his ex fiancé, and they threw in a book by a satanist, which many incorrectly label his band. Are we sure Ozzy and Lita didn’t pack this bag😂
Possibly a reference to the wife he was with that near bankrupted him with her shopping habits... and the mother of his daughter Toni. This was before Lita I think
Tony's cocaine days where he spoke a mile a minute and was really outspoken. He said what he wanted back then. You can tell that he was a bit of a dick at that time, but funny and very easy going. His personality completely changed. He's more shy, reserved and kind and maybe even a little less sure of himself these days.
I think this was after he quit doing cocaine. Because in his book he mentioned that after the tour for Eternal Idol, he was getting signed on with a new management, and he was asked by them if he did drugs (of course he lied to them), but I think from that point on was when he quit. Also, Cozy is here with him, so this had to be during the days of Headless Cross (or TYR).
@@KRS2000 I'm pretty sure he said he didn't quit fully until one of his later wives really forced him to. He said even thought they ended up divorcing he was thankful she helped him kick the addiction
Tony used to be a dick since his very early years given the fact he bullied Ozzy in school and was into martial art (supposedly not only for self-defense purpose). But is he shy these days, probably not, he has just become mature and grown out of stupid stuff. Maybe life has tought him some lessons so he changed.
They already had those songs well practised and developed before recorded them as they were playing them in clubs for a couple of months. Tony once said they only played those songs in the studio like it was another gig.
From Wiki : 'Sun City was a place where the South African government allowed entertainment that was banned in most of the country. In protest of apartheid, an international boycott by performers continued for years, although some, such as Queen, ignored it.' Black Sabbath ignored it too.
I've got this book by Crowley. Interesting if you have no prejudices about it, but disappointing to teen metal fans who think it'll make them mysterious mages.
Most modern albums would be better if they were recorded in one day. They are too good these days, there's no rough edges that make the musics character.
As a gen-X'er, being raised and among drugs and drug culture my entire life. I can confidently tell you that Copious amounts of cocaine were involved in every aspect of this clip(s)
It would be if it were remixed. Strange how a quite derided album seems to have taken an almost cult like following of it own, independent of all the other sabbath and gillan stuff. People perhaps giving it a second chance with a more open mind is why its more popular now than when it was new. Great songs ruined by the mix, on my phone i have an eq setting just for listening to that album, sounds loads better but still a remix is what is required.
1:05, thats the first time I've ever heard him use that word. When he was talking about the first album and mentioned how albums take months to years to make, he had no idea that Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses would take 15 years, many musicians, and tens of millions of dollars to make.
@Evergreen Layne There was that one song that was one there called Better, or something like that. It's only barely memorable to me because I remember thinking, "What the bloody hell? This is supposed to be a Guns and Roses song?". As for the title track, all I remember is "Iron fist." That's about it. Other than that, yeah, you're right. What was the point.
@@britishnerd3919 During the 80s there was this movement to boycott South Africa because of the racist Apartheid regime, in order to press a change in policy. Part of this boycott was also a cultural boycott, there was an organization of musicians called "artists against Apartheid" who took a pledge to not perform in South Africa in protest against Apartheid. Because of this, South African promoters would pay western artists double the pay they would normally get for a concert, to come perform in Sun City, a resort in South Africa situated in one of the so-called "independent homelands" were blacks had been forcefully relocated by the Apartheid regime. While these independent homelands were not recognized by any other country, nor by the UN, the fact that it was *technically* not on South African mainland territory, meant that quite a lot of entertainment that wouldn't be allowed in the rest of South Africa was allowed there. So that's why most western artists were invited to perform in Sun City. As such, in 1986 this organization "Artists against Apartheid" released this charity song and album called "I ain't gonna play Sun City", featuring such proeminent artists as Steven Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, Bono and U2, Tom Petty, Pat Benatar, Ringo Starr, Joey Ramone, Pete Thownshend, Lou Reed, Miles Davis, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Bob Geldolf, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Motley Crue, Hall and Oates, Stevie Wonder etc.,through which they were taking a pledge to not perform in Sun City, calling for a boycott of South Africa, while at the same time also calling out musicians who didn't respect the boycott. Because even though there was a huge movement to boycott South Africa and a lot of western musicians refused to perform in Sun City, there were also many musicians that didn't respect the boycott and went to perform there anyway, some of these latter ones included Rod Stewart, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, The Beach Boys, Fred Astaire, Linda Ronstadt, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Paul Simon, Status Quo,Eric Clapton, and perhaps most famously, Queen, who sparked a huge controversy in 1984 when they accepted to perform in Sun City, and were even blacklisted by the United Nations because of it, and also another band that did not respect the boycott was Iommi's Black Sabbath (post-Ozzy), who performed in Sun City in 1986 or 1987 if my memory serves me correctly,and received a tendemous amount of criticism because of it. So basically the record was indirectly calling out bands and musicians like Queen, Black Sabbath or Rod Stewart who didn't respect the boycott, and that's what made Iommi really angry and made him throw away the record.
@@reggiekrager5411 given the state of things in the late 80s I can't blame him for taking the money to play there, sabbath wasn't particularly healthy at the time. I'm not defending apartheid etc. People bang on about apartheid but completely ignored the far worse things that were happening all over the world at that time. Like the Holocaust, Stalin killed millions more than Hitler and hardly anyone knows much about it, and Mao killed more than all other genocides combined and no one knows much about it, half the people don't even know who Mao was.
The album with Ian Gillen - Born Again - has some brilliant music, unfortunately, the singing and terrible lyrics hold it back. It would've been great if they recycled those riffs & songs with Dio, especially Disturbing the Priest and Zero the Hero.
Anyone know why the Sun City thing was included in the thing, was there a connection I'm not aware about? Tony had the right attitude about that rubbish by the way

Yeah. Tony and Lita were together during the 80s.
1:30 "Can I have me ring back?"
SAVAGE!

@Pingu Wetone I find it hard to believe that he actually abused because Lita is known to be a psycho herself, she even lost custody of her children

Wow, that's the first time I've seen his fingers without the tips.
Whoever sent him this shit was the original troll before the internet. #legend
,... a n d HARDCORE STUFF ❤😊❤😂!! BERNIE GERMANY
Giving Iommi a fake finger is trolling on highest level. But he took it well.
Tony's reaction,when he say Lita Ford's poster - priceless!!!!!!!!!i like his smile!!!!!!!!!!!
The drugs were more important to him than she was.
Tony is so funny. He must of been brilliant to party with
Sure, if you were able to snort and afford 2 or 3 ounces of coke to be able to keep up with him at a party.
HE IS STILL ALIVE
Took 8 hours to make first Sabbath record my god. Masterpiece from the start
They already had those songs well practised and developed before recorded them as they were playing them in clubs for a couple of months. Tony once said they only played those songs in the studio like it was another gig.
haha he's so unusually hyped here
Coke
Pepsi
I personally think root beer is the best (and Tony’s guitar playing too)!
I like Tony, he makes me laugh. One of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Born Again another absolute Sabbath classic,,
**Zero the Hero** It's so damn dark sounding and creeping-up on ya. OMINOUS.
Jesus, that Ozzy burn lmfao.
Yea, we’re they beefin at the time ?
He thought that was a big bag of cocaine at first , that's why he was so excited.
That's more of a medium bag for him.
When he throws that Sun City LP away....classic!
Couldn't agree more
Is that the name of the band or the album?
@@billgeezeriommi Sun City was a charity concert to raise money to fight apartheid.

Tony's lead on "Trashed" is one of my favorites. It's just a beautiful fucking mess of chaos
Perfectly explained

can i have my ring back, fucking classic!
The coke runs strong with this one!

Seemed like he was pretty quick to knock Ozzy!
Most modern albums would be better if they were recorded in one day.
They are too good these days, there's no rough edges that make the musics character.
i wouldn't say "too good" more "overproduced"
I swear I laugh every time I watch this for years even; especially at 1:05!
Speak of the devil specifically was a live album of Ozzy covering Black Sabbath songs. It was the first album released after Randy died too.
02:55 Tony's face is hilarious
Can i have me ring back hahaha nice one tony
I didn't expect fearsome Tony Iommi would ever go "Wooo!" Surprised. 2:06
tony iommi, what a great guy

And what the hell is a "willy"?
A penis
" Trashed" was about
getting wasted.
First time that Black Sabbath wrote a song
about partying.
@@toneyisaiah408 Trashed was what actually happened to Gillan while partying out at the Manor when he wrecked the car drunk
Born again is a MASTERPIECE.

According to Tony, they’ve found the mastertapes, so maybe a remix could be on it’s way.
Yeah I dunno what whoever produced it was smokin' when it was mixed and eq-ued.
That's what let it down.
These blokes are so funny. Imagine having them as your mates.
1:05, thats the first time I've ever heard him use that word.
When he was talking about the first album and mentioned how albums take months to years to make, he had no idea that Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses would take 15 years, many musicians, and tens of millions of dollars to make.
And Chinese D unfortunately doesn’t have one memorable song on it. What was the point.

Great stuff very funny,such a positive bloke,
LOVE tony in this. He's such an awesome guy... more outspoken than what I thought he was...
He never liked being the front person for a band, he just wanted to play his music.
he is more outspoken because of cocaine
Throwing away that fucking Sun City LP--priceless. Fucking love it
Why did he throw it away?

"Oh yea I've got this album as well."
Ian Gillan sounds like the Jesus Christ from the movie track in his afterparty after the crussifiction.
Notice how Tony catches himself before delving to deep into the Crowley book.. One can only imagine how far some of these guys took it..
An unintended early version of Amoeba Music "What's in my bag"?
Iommi reminds me of Razor Ramon here.
Iommi is savage
When I'm fucking sad i've just watch this video. Tony Iommi is GOD.
Trashed uncut! then gets cut at the beginning and end....
0:45 - ASMR.
"Look at this! Me new shirt!"
What do think of that ? I don’t know can I have the ring back .. Lol .. the great Cozy Powell knew everyone.

Great album 👌 Ian Gillan rock star .Wish they would have recorded another album , Saw them at the Fox Theater 84 amazing concert 🙌.
I read his book. The stuff he mentions in there is just scratching the surface of what they got up to.
1:05 1:07
Kinda cruel of them to stick a occult book in there... that was a bit of a trap on there part :P
Damn you crowley!
if you practice magic...maybe you can make yourself disappear ?

Tony...es el mejor del universo...junto a sus hermanos de Black Sabbath ...🏴🇨🇴
Anyone know why the Sun City thing was included in the thing, was there a connection I'm not aware about?
Tony had the right attitude about that rubbish by the way
They played the sun city concert. Along w/Queen too. Both bands took lot of heat for participating.
He has a great dry sense of humor. Never seen that version of Trashed. Great stuff!
I think there's a willy in there.
1:10 haha
great interview tony was hilarious
Lyrics and video of trashed are groundbreaking.
I knew this was going to be good when he was handed the Speak of the Devil album!😂 Live Evil anyone?
I actually used to own this VHS of Hard N Heavy. I think there was only 2 issues for some reason
I was so buzzed while watching this and it all made sence
@I am Supernaut actaully yes, that would be nice
This is the best Tony ever! Hilarious
Bro when the bag dropped, Tony was just sitting there and he found out it was there
how cool a joint in the bag
see ya tony at jones beach aug 10

You can see the bones of his fingers, nice

What a flashback to the
early 1980s.
one of the greats.
Most fav guitarist ever! Riff God 🤘🏽
Hilarious! And Trashed-one of my favorites🖤
Tony Iommi before cancer.
yeah ,, like wayyy before
Iommi has acted the same since the late 90s lol

That's because it was him, haha. I'm serious.
trashed, off of the born again album.
That song at the end is sick
What was the album at 1:05? Sun City?? Sin City??
What sunglasses brand is Tony Iommi wearing?
Hmm looks like 80's ray bans
Carrera 5415 sunglasses
Best Singers in Black Sabbath...
