Tony Iommi IS Black Sabbath! The one member who is absolutely essential and cannot be replaced. Even Ozzy agrees.
None of them can be replaced. They wouldn't be Black Sabbath without Geezers lyrics, Ozzys vocals or Bill's drumming..
@@scottashe984 Black Sabbath did great with Dio and Appice. Sadly, Ozzy was a shadow of his former self by the end of the 70s, and Ward's problems with alcohol got worse later.
@@scottashe984false
@exe2517 What are you talking about, Ozzy, being a shadow of his former self ??, lol. Ozzy was absolutely great in 1978 NSD tour. I've seen Ozzy 5 times in the 80s and he was still great.
I love Tony's playing. But without Ozzy it totally changes the sound. In the end, it takes all of them to sound like Sabbath. Thats the beauty of it.
Tony Iommi will forever be on the Mount Rushmore of metal guitarists
Good cool comment man. Spot on
He’s such a gentleman. So humble. He’s The Godfather of Metal. Look how humble.
humble? tony used to be a dick lol. cool ass hell though
@@genesis3790 Feel better now?
Genesis H And how long ago was that? People change with age. Tony is humble.
He's high clown.
@@genesis3790 when?
Tony Iommi: Lord of the Riffs
David Topchiev Hell yea!
Paranoid👌
That'd be a great name for a documentary about Iommi.
when so many people see Black Sabbath and just think Ozzy.....i love Ozzys input but to me Iommi is the true heart off Sabbath and just a huge trojan of metal!!! I just love hearing Iommi talk about his journey..
Yep. Tony is the only member to be every carnation of Black Sabbath. He's the one that carried on the name.
Iommi is the most important member
@@lntxp01 absolutely!! Everyone else walked away at various times. Tony is the only one who kept the band alive even when Sharon tried to destroy it by forcing tony to not use the name Black Sabbath. I admit, I know know who's idea it was to say ok. Fine, we'll use Heaven and Hell which everyone knows is the band Black Sabbath in reality.
Yh, its even debatable if Ozzy is even the 2nd most important member as geezer's bass played an important part to black sabbaths quality as well as metal in general and he was the primary lyricist which is uncommon for someone who doesn't sing for or front the band.
@@lntxp01 agreed 100%! Bill created the classic Sabbath sound because of his jazz style of drumming but no matter who was in the band, it was always Tony on guitar and every single reincarnation of the band has remarkable albums. Anyone thAt is a true fan accepts that as fact.
Tony Iommi - The Gentleman of Metal.
I have always thought Tony has had a calm polite and grateful demeanor. My favorite guitarist.
I think Lita Ford would have a different opinion on that statement. They where engaged and it didnt turn out very well at all. look it up.
gregg4164 yes but Lita doesn’t hold him accountable for it. He was high as a kite back then and so was she. She knows that was not the real Tony
The King/father/founder of metal
@@gregg4164 yeah but who the hell really cares. Don't be a crap hound 😠
"Sabbath has been together for 17 years!"
And this interview is 38 years old.
Its pretty insane.
Yes, sadly the end has come now. I`m glad I got to see them, and got Tony`s autograph after the show, he was just as friendly and polite as he is in interviews.
its funny right? I was 12 in 1984, and we thought they were old men THEN. lol
Well said. I first heard paranoid album and blizzard of ozz in 1980 and I'm 52. Remember looking through my uncles record collection and seeing paranoid gatefold pictures are still with me.
When Tony speaks, we listen.
Tony Iommi, is one of the original metal gods. He's a really great guitarist with a very unique sound. No one sounds anything like him, not only in the metal world, but in rock music. Today, Tony Iommi is untouchable, just an amazing rocker!!!!!!!
Your Momma To each is own. People see him more as a metal god than a rock god. And I agree. Sabbath had a different sound from the rock during that time.
@Your Momma you're a chump.
I’m gonna not give a shit about what I’m about to say & get heckled for it agree to disagree if you want but in my opinion everyone gives ozzy a bunch of kudos & he is the best etc etc but all around if you look at the history of sabbath Tony kept sabbath going all these years him & only him . when they had revolving singers & ward left & then geezer Tony was the damn glue for sabbath to me my Mount Rushmore of classic rockers singers or even
Instrumental players ( RJD , Robert plant , Tony iommi , Jethro Tull & geddy lee) that’s just my opinion about sabbath
Tony is heavy metal
Amen brother
After all these years Toni is still my favorite guitar player!
"We played every Black Sabbath song. Into the void is the heaviest song ever made" Eddie Van Halen. "This is the band that influenced every metal band in the world, including us" James Hetfield, Metallica. From Motley Crew, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, to Pantera, Megadeath, Rush, and countless of others. Black Sabbath maybe the most influential Rock/Metal band in History. 🎸
Dave Mustaine : “I was paired with him at a celebrity golf tournament. I don’t view him as an influence, so it was not a big deal for me.” Typical Dave…
Van Halen opened for Black Sabbath in their early days.Talk about a great concert .
Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page...both were my main influences in learning and in playing guitar.
Tony looks like Vlad The Impaler
he really fucking does he's missing the hat
Haha, dark lord of the riff is also dark lord of the impalings
I think he looks like Tommy Chong.
And look out.. he will impale you.. with his Riffs ..
News flash: He is...
Tony looked like a badass you wouldn't want to mess with, now he looks like a guy who'd serve you tea and biscuits smiling and telling you how nice the tea and biscuit is.
A great character
A great character
He is a brumie rich but tough as fuck no you stay on his good side lol
Michael Black He knows Karate and boxing quite well
he seriously gives you tea and biscuits, if you run into him?
The Godfather of Heavy Metal, and also an English Gentleman. An absolute legend.
Geezer told once in an interview that the term Heavy Metal came from seeing the steel mills in Bermingham,has nothing to do with Satanism and devil worship.
marc dewey I read it came from a Steppenwolf song
he didn't coin the term or anything. But he definitely helped to pioneer the genre
That's a very apt reference and a complete totem for metal!
Marc ,
You must be a youngster, that
sentence makes no sense whatsoever,
Heavy Metal and Satanism, what in
the fk are you even talking about.
No offence , but you are high dude,
you have no clue what rock n' roll
was , or hard rock , or heavy metal.
@@RobotMillionaire 'Born to be Wild'
was the song, I'm not sure it
that's where the term came from, could
be, but whatever Marc is talking about
is nothing about nothing.
Best mustache in metal
@Your Momma no it's metal
@@Daniel-kx7ip Tony and Geezer themselves beg to differ.
@@Daniel-kx7ip 3:29 for you
@@Schizosepsis it's still metal
Frank had the best moustacheO in all of music!😎
Toni is a class act and always has been.
Yes true that. With all that coke he snorted he still kept his shit together.
Even his voice sounds melodic
Tony Iommi is a humble human.
I allways find him more gentleman-like then Ozzy for example. Ozzy swears more and use the f-word in interviews.
Tony Its not like that.
The metal god of guitar no one can replace the original!
Lots of lip licking.
.
I once saw Geezer Butler being interviewed in which he talked about the days of recording Vol 4 in L.A. The band would order cocaine and he said the dealer would show up and pour a big mound of it on the table from a cereal box.
That's a lot of fucking coke.
Vol 4 liner notes:
"We wish to thank the great COKE-Cola
Company of Los Angeles"
Indeed.
Tony is the man
Tony's really high here "glue" LOL
+Calebe Priester He's got that kind of "stuffy" look to his face like there's something up his nose... what could it be? LOL
The "glue" part is just sarcastic British humor. Overall you're right, don't know why he thought going in an interview in that shape was a good idea.
Nothing wrong with burning a good one for an interview
@Jeff Eggleston Is that a fact?
He's actually sober... go watch more Interviews....
When he's coked up, he never stops moving and rubbing his nose..
His hands are completely still here.
A very cool looking dude... he was down to earth (for a rockstar)
I liked Tony's moustache back then. Much better than that tiny thing he has on his upper lip now.
up
His tash game was mighty back then.
He'd fit right in with the village people.
A good bloke, and a real gentleman, yes. And a god of guitar!
"its so easy now to learn from video tapes and cassettes..." lol even easier now my friend.
CDs were in their infancy in 1984, now they're on the way to their death like video tapes, and vinyl is back!
+Louise Sturm soon cds will be the new things people store away deep in their closets
+HowlingFang6258 Lol. Like VHS. I still have about 25 VHS but my vhs player broke. I have some good movie's i won't throw away, they're still in good shape. Wonder what will replace the DVD? Maybe little computer chips?
+Louise Sturm umm.... the net? People learn guitar from here only.
I ment a physical thing.
Tony Iommi is an innovative musician.Such an interesting human being.I love this interview.
Toni "Riff Master" Iommi 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊
Tony is my favorite guitar player
SO important, so unique, so original, so influential...
Tony Iommi is one of the greats! Zakk is right, saying that he is as good as Hendrix. Tony is really the riff god/master, in my opinion.....
He's my favorite guitarist 🎸🤘
My grandpa use to look like Toni, now my brother looks like him
You have no idea how lucky you are. My mom looks like Lemmy.

It’s funny most of the bands people consider to be pioneers of “heavy metal”
don’t consider themselves heavy metal, except maybe Judas Priest. That’s because they’re original and played what the felt naturally and liked what they were playing, not worried if it would be acceptable to rock fans. True artists don’t try to be anything.
Tony has said many times that he considered Black Sabbath a hard rock band. Hard rock was a category before heavy metal and was widely used through the 70's at least.
Music labelling was invented by the music critics, that way they think they have some sort of control of what's going on, which they don't obviously. The musicians themselves don't want to be labelled.
Do You Think Avenged Sevenfold was Trying to be Something in that Context?
I Like the Labeling. Because it Describes What Music it Is. it’s That Simple. I Think They are the Birth of Metal. The Baby Exiting the Vagina. The Beginning on the Other Hand, Probably Sister Rosetta Tharpe Maybe?
@@keithj6251 Tony always said Heavy Rock but I think around the 2010s he said he accepted the Metal label.
Tony iommi is my teacher and the master and always will be
"How can any band stay together for 17 years? What makes it work that well?"
"glue"
omfg if I had a drink i'd fucking spit it out instantly, then RIP my computer monitor.
fucking smartass
Ninten The Metalhead .Somebody should ask the Stones how a band stay's together for 50 years.
@@marcdewey3848 money is glue
Great guy. One of the best.
Great interview and video quality.
A true Godfather of Heavy Metal music and one of the greatest metal guitar players of all time.
Love me some Iommi!
Was there a time when Toni looked like a young man? To me he looks 40 since the first album.
Btw I love this guy, and it's maybe the first time I see him laugh at 4:38
+Matt Moves Like in the late 90's he looks pretty cool! ahahah
+Matt Moves It's TONY, not Toni.
Matt Moves check out "black Sabbath live in Paris" . He was just a lad there. And the show imo is the best live rock recording EVER. No effects, no noise filters, nothing. Just black Sabbath unfiltered.
If u haven't seen that one you really should.
The Stache lol
Bob Newhart syndrome, Bob Newhard is about 80 now, but looked like that way back in 1970 on his first tv show lol
The Master of Riff
"Everyone copying each other" Thats exactly how what happened in the 80's. 🎸
Such a legend.
They formed in 1968 which would have made it 16 years by 1984 and it's funny, they weren't the same band members in 1984 as the original lineup. Everyone had left by 1984. It was an entire new lineup with Tony.
One of the great men of history.
This is so strange. There is a clip of George Harrison being interviewed somewhere here in the States promoting Cloud 9. It's about three minutes and it's the one where he says "So how did I meet Eric Clapton? We shared the same wife." Watch that, then this. The facial mannerisms and expressions and the verbal (accent) similarities are uncanny.
What a strange first question. They had changed singer and drummers many times in 84. But nevertheless he is living music history and a true legend. I have met him. So nice person.
You can tell he really enjoys interviews,who could blame him
Tony is probably my biggest influence in my sound, in my playing.
Tony is the biggest influence on my horseshoe mustache !!!
Sounds normal. Considering that if one play metal you have to look at the source
I like the big deep breath before the interview. He must have been a little stressed out. How come no laugh on the "glue" joke? That was pretty funny I think. :D
"Boo-geez" Love ya Tone!
These interviewers are such tight asses, dude. It's always the same old shit and same old questions, these dudes are doing a job. They aren't fans. "What model guitar did you used to play? What was Band A B and C like before you got into the big time? What are your influences? Where do you see your music going in ten years?" Same old shit.
Interviewer sounds like a stoned mr Rodgers.
It's because the interviewer is American, the joke's go over their head because they don't understand British humour.
@@neilarmstrongsson795 I am American...I got his glue joke immediately...wasnt really funny....a kids joke in America!
GLUE....LOL
THAT TASH IS LIKE A BEAST, A GREAT WHITE...
FUCKING ACE...
His tash does look awesome here.
He was rocking that style at Live Aid.
Looked like the don there!
Legend - Born Again era.
"Heavy Metal" was first coined in the song "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf.
Actually, it was first coined by William Burroughs in 1959 in his novel “Naked Lunch”. If you don’t know or were born in the 2000s or later, William Burroughs was a notoriously deviant Beatnik author and well-known junkie.
1984 was a low point for Sabbath, which explains Tony moonlighting as a Mexican bandit at the time of this interview
He was like a different person back then. Way more of a badass. His personality completely changed (softened up). Reminds me of James Hetfield after he went sober. Night and day from the person he once was.
He seems the same to me, unless you are referring to other interviews
He’s talking about the band still being “together” in 84 … Ozzy had left (twice), Dio had left, Vinnie had left, Bill left and then returned in 84 and then left again the same year, even Geezer briefly left in 1980!
That bit about the same sound from a different on a different man's setup is so true. Fingers are super underlooked when looking at sound.
You just can't ask for a better musician to give it straight up and no sugar added .
I was obsessed with Tony in the early 70s...❤😮❤😮
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Great interview!
#Snowblind
No you epic tool...
Can't think of anyone more influential than Black Sabbath. Just about everyone that follow from the 70's till 90's.
Every record they did was groundbreaking as well. They invented so many styles. They were copied by so many.
Led Zeppelin
@@Ori0987 led zeppelin didn't invent an entire genre though
The King of metal.

LOL!!!! Great comment. The TV was too loud and it was on "mute.''
Iommi , always living the moment it seems...American Blues influenced England , and then kept the Blues alive while it was fading.
Father Iommi... Lord of the Dark Riff
priceless ❤️👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Such good wisdom.
Clearly this interviewer does not know who he's talking to. Iommi looks completely disinterested.
He's not disinterested, he's just coked out of his gourd!

Say what? He most likely be on Cocaine without a doubt, i know i would if it's time to Talk specifically in an interview and besides Coke was his thing!
Are you kidding! He's coked out of his tree here! It's blatantly obvious.
*God of Riff....Alpha Metal....Gentleman Swag....Tony Iommi*
Tony is just about a band by himself.
The questions are so good ! Maybe the best musician video Iv seen
Black sabbath is my all time favourite metal band, also for me tony iommi is my all time favourite band member from the mighty black sabbath....
Very down to earth classy, humble guy. But his guitar sound is brutal and punishing.
not a word that i wrote him all the riffs when i gave him lessons in a pub when we were drinking and playing darts
Tony is high AF here.
No he is not. Go try some coke yourself and then tell us how easy it is to sit there so scerene like .
If young players only knew how hard it was in the days before the 70s. They today don't even know those that made music today!
gods of music
He's just glaring with those coke-eyes xD I know he did lots of coke, but around '84 too? Either way he has that expressionless look, the coke man!
Or maybe because he's an INTJ, I am one, we're pretty much always like this,even worse
Thanks you Tommy to enjoy m'y life wiht this indescriptible music j am 60
You clearly have no idea what cocaine does.... It makes your eyes bug out. WIDE OPEN.
@@windyhead7960 that's exactly what I think too. I guess it's easier to recognize for you and I since we are the same way. I seen another comment where someone said that Tony was very high just because of his opening joke about glue holding the band together. It was just a nervous joke to help himself get kick started. It's just like something I would do when I'm sober and nervous.
@@tony69em Yeah, sure, I mean, there are many INTJ musicians to support this; for example Ritchie Blackmore. I'm pretty convinced much of how he behaves has to do with him just not knowing how to communicate normally. Or James Hetfield, back in the day when he thought he had to be drunk and badass and put facades; but deep inside, he alwayse has been shy and nervous. Or even David Bowie, who handled the situation more cunningly by creating different characters and injecting bits of his personality into each one of them.
Anyway, I'm not denying that Iommi was heavily into cocaine back then, but it annoys me that everytime we see a classic footage of him we go:"Oh, look! It's a Tony Iommi! Let's paint it white!"
Really High.. Way High!!!
Black sabbath, both with Ozzy and Dio is so unique and original. Each song is even very unique. No two sound alike. Like he says the rest almost all sound the same.
The most layed back man ever
Interesting lad, I wonder
if he'll make it in the music
business.
You can hear a tape loop of him coughing preceding the intro to "Sweet Leaf"
In the top 5 best guitarists, in my opinion, he might be number 2. Fascinating individual Anthony is, killer guitarist
Tony Iomi,o chefao supremo do heavy-metal,e fim de conversa.
high as fuck!!!
He’s on a lot of cocaine here, the fact he can talk just fine and hold a conversation shows what a pro he is
professional coke snorter?
I was noticing that too, he can hold his drugs well. Definitely high in my opinion
He keeps clearing his throat, that’s the giveaway.
Practice makes perfect
@@raycooper9116 Plenty of people who don't take anything clear their throats while talking 😂.
Great interview. Very good questions. Tony is candid and straightforward. I think Ozzy was an arrogant fool to leave Black Sabbath. Despite who he's tried to surround himself with over the years, he could never match the intensity of the original BS.
He was fired
@@tomlegat-parker5099
Darn it.
🙂
He didn’t leave, he was simply fired. The death of Ozzy’s father was the end of his musical spirit. He had ideas of his own, but the band turned it down. Being frustrated of being pressed and the death of his father fuel him with more drug and alcohol. He was simply a mess. The band wanted to move on, Jack’a death impacted every members of B.S. but they couldn’t reach Ozzy, so he was fired.
@@Spy_shrimP
Interesting.
@@Spy_shrimP i saw in the new book of geezer that never say die ! was a bad album for them, and ozzy wanted to stay like the first albums, but they wanted to test new things.. the rest are history.. you see the 80s ozzy remember the firsts black sabbath album...
