My fave too... He's the reason I play left-handed!!! I tried right-handed but I couldn't do it... I'm ambidextrous and I STILL can't learn to play right-handed!!!
That was just ferocious. From the 3 minute mark to 4 minutes was vicious. No jumping around, no fireworks, just decades of experience on lead guitar. Keep in mind too, you must practice to play at this stellar level. Tony could have retired to Tahiti, but for the true love of rock & roll, he would rather totally shred his SG and dazzle the crowds than sip fruity cocktails on a remote beach.
The more I go on with the study of solo and rhythm guitar techniques of other so-called "more technical" artists, the more I go back to deepen guitarists such as iommy, Gary moore, steeve Ray Vaughan, hendrix, dimebag Darrel and j.frusciante . They have something besides technique that others don't have. Iommy one of the best blues guitarists ever! As he put it .. He didn't want to create metal but he liked playing fast or slow distorted blues. A Living Legend!
Damn I don't listen to this kind of stuff anymore but this is one hell of an expressive and dynamic solo. He's *saying* things with the guitar, not shredding to show all the 14 yr olds what he can do. It borders on jazz inventiveness in some of the passages and there's so much dynamic range and space here. Very very cool.
@@jeffroberts_tunes They bolth have missing fingers too !! If you think Jerry can not play metal style listen to Playing in the band from 8/27/72 as an example !!
Dean, I agree. It was just phenomenal. Do you have any idea what it takes to pull that off? This reminded me of Jimi at Woodstock. Incredible talent and musical virtuosity.
It's so good to hear him playing this well so late in his career. There was a point with Sabbath albums where I felt he had improved in some technical respects but was playing less interesting material; but here is beautifully bringing all of that skill, and the amazing soul he has, and he's weaving beautiful mysteries. In my life, he's been one of the most influential musicians.
@@doraanaisnin5199 Tyr and Dehumanizer especially. On Dehumanizer there was a lot of fast playing that I felt lacked some of the dramatic and emotional nuance of his better work. I imagine that he was still playing great live, though.
sometimes, given his seemingly endless supply of world beating riffs and his undisputed seminal role in the creation of metal, it's too easy to forget that Iommi is a MASTER soloist - imaginative, soulful, agile, deeply and broadly creative... he stands with the giants and takes second to NONE... he's also an evidently humble, aparently good natured and often self effacing PRO... unlike some of his peers, he's a truly admirable cat. Thank you, Mr. Iommi, for all of the beautiful music you made and inspired.
FM Progg yeah, but Paul played guitar as his primary instrument, he had always been a better guitarist than John, he even soloed on a few Beatles songs
It's crazy, the Man never could read a lick of written music, every note he plays is a gift from his heart. Truly gifted and innovative, special after the loss of his finger tips. To not give up his passion, changed the industry hunting for lighter strings and redesigning his guitar. I knew when I first heard Black Sabbath, of coarse with Ozzy singing it's was an orgasmic mind numbing experience.. Knowing where and how it all began, plus all the dysfunctional factors and set backs these men had to over come, it's surely seemed ordained by Some High Power..
Much respect to Iommi. He doesn't need to play fast nor storm through the neck and play ultra loud to show off what he can do with the guitar and how he improvises. I enjoyed much of his jazz style in the first two sabbath albums and it shows here as well. My favorite little jazz piece from him is probably on the demo track after behind the wall of sleep, early one morning is great too.
@@vanshsharma8255 Led zeppelin has in fact been confirmed to rip songs off. The whole band still brought so much to the table and didn’t copy everything completely. But you can’t deny facts unfortunately Also Tony is literally God
Yes! Lived my 20s in th 80s. They were best music times for Metal... although I ws in2 Alice Cooper 1972, Zep 1973, Judas Priest 1975, Iron Maiden next... Blk Sab 1972.
This album, is how i learned to play guitar, using a 83 Gibsin Flying V, a 79 tube screamer, n a pair of amplified headphones on the USS AMerica cruise 1979........2 Jesus God b the Glory...
My dear sweet cousin Miss Perkins introduced me personally to T. Iomi. God I wish you were here MARY!! You were right! Except for the part about Thai Stick!!! Now I know how it's made!!
Man I would of sold my soul for these skills and rocknroll also God bless your soul Black Sabbath members you brought one of the best bands I can listen to all day and while I go fishing
I like him better than randy rhodes i have to say because of the hospitality he shows. Randy shows no mercy and demolishes every solo 0 to 100 all out shred, wheres tommi kept it bluesy metal power chords at first and then slowly built up into the solo. Keeps it fresh, kinds deprives you of what you want at first and then gives you the full on wickedness, adds contrast in sound also. This was badass
The main thing is that Randy was trying to do something new, while there were people who only wanted melodic solos and on the other side there were Van Halen wannabes who would shred all day, Randy wanted to sound melodic while shredding. Which he certainly didn't fail, in my honest opinion! But yeah, I do agree with what you say, Tony is really beyond all that, he doesn't just play solos, he lets the solo play itself. But just, let's not pretend that Randy was all about shred! Lol He was a master, I love his stuff in Diary of a Madman! It's really a shame that people only remember him for the Mr Crowleys and the Crazy Trains.
@@Firetubo Tell me, where did I exactly state that Tony Iommi *isn't* a master? Because your reply doesn't make really sense, considering what I've said. If you're gonna reply, do it properly, reply to what I've really said. You must be one of those who know only Mr Crowley and Crazy Train, out of all of Randy's work, if you think that Randy was only able to "impress teenagers", and that's really a shame, you should listen to some of his actual great songs. But yeah, do whatever you want, but if you're gonna reply,consider carefully what I've said, because what you've just said comes nowhere near to what I've said. They are both great and masters in what they do, end of story. Peace!
Tony blows page , and clapton out of the water he’s fast and plays with emotion and feel he’s not the best in the world but definitely up there in the top 50 best of all time
Only saw them twice, but both times were significant and was at the NSD tour in Phoenix AZ about six months after this one. The second was the end tour in 2016, so I saw them to close out the 70s era and then the grand finale 💪🏼😎
Pat, hey. What about Jimi's white stratocaster from Woodstock? I went to Seattle a few years ago and saw it on display. But, I see what you mean. Tony's SG here is quite the prize too. Cheers from Mexico! 🎸
If there are two guitarists who were instrumental in developing hard rock and heavy metal into a genre, and there are, it would be Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi. 2 masters of the guitar and THE RIFF-MIESTERS!
repetitivemotion I would have to add KK Downing and Glen Tipton to that list of guitarist that helped develop metal. They came along and gave us a more up tempo style of playing as well at the twin lead guitar attack, which had not been done before.
Iommi is the reason I started playing guitar 36 years ago and he is still my favorite guitarist!
Same here .20 years ago
DA BEST! DA IRONMAN!!!!!
Same here, 2 years ago
I'm 21 now. Heard Toni and sabbath when I was 19 and trust he'll forever be my nr 1 of course he must have Geez to keep him rolling
My fave too... He's the reason I play left-handed!!! I tried right-handed but I couldn't do it... I'm ambidextrous and I STILL can't learn to play right-handed!!!
This is why hes the best
His tone is amazing ! Does not have to use speed to sound like a master shredder.
Fucking insane. This is why hes my favorite guitarist. So creative. Love Mr. Tony Iommi for all he has contributed to guitarist all over.
That was just ferocious. From the 3 minute mark to 4 minutes was vicious. No jumping around, no fireworks, just decades of experience on lead guitar.
Keep in mind too, you must practice to play at this stellar level. Tony could have retired to Tahiti, but for the true love of rock & roll, he would rather totally shred his SG and dazzle the crowds than sip fruity cocktails on a remote beach.

A Living Legend!
Thank You Mr Iommi for all the great music over the years
And he's still playing the same Gibson S-G guitar from the 70's WOW!
what nobody expected: the godfathers of metal playing jazz! I love it!
hes not playing the same solo again and again, he is really improvising, awesome :D a bit of a jazzy feel
That’s what makes him the best eight different versions of this solo
Damn I don't listen to this kind of stuff anymore but this is one hell of an expressive and dynamic solo. He's *saying* things with the guitar, not shredding to show all the 14 yr olds what he can do. It borders on jazz inventiveness in some of the passages and there's so much dynamic range and space here. Very very cool.
My 2 favorite guitatists are Jerry Garcia and Tony Iommi.
@@michaelmohrle1773wow that's an interesting combination!
@@jeffroberts_tunes They bolth have missing fingers too !! If you think Jerry can not play metal style listen to Playing in the band from 8/27/72 as an example !!
Mr. Sabbath, that is best. Tony Iommi Everybody Else That comes to this band. Follows Mr. Tony.
5:50 Facemelting post apocalyptic solo. 😍❤🤘🔥
Blues-metal very distinctive.
Thanks for sharing this, I don't think I've ever seen Tony jam like that
Dean,
I agree. It was just phenomenal. Do you have any idea what it takes to pull that off? This reminded me of Jimi at Woodstock. Incredible talent and musical virtuosity.
Usually when I play this my walls begin to crumble.
Walls are overrated anyway.
Very first concert in 1972 as a 15yr old Long Island Arena Commack NY. Deep Purple was the second one not long after.
The GREATEST 🎸player on the planet!
Tony, you’re the best I love this song. I love your guitar plan thank you so much.
I've always liked Tony's playing,....
It's so good to hear him playing this well so late in his career.

@@doraanaisnin5199 Tyr and Dehumanizer especially. On Dehumanizer there was a lot of fast playing that I felt lacked some of the dramatic and emotional nuance of his better work. I imagine that he was still playing great live, though.
I must say that David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist (I've been a bad guitar player for 35+ years), Mr. Iommi is a close second. Freakin' fantastic!
Be strong Tony Iommi as your \Riffs/. Hail, Odin ! I love you , Tony Iommi ♥

Word!
Amen
Augustine Nocera
Iommi is a better song writer than he is a guitarist ..He's also a Girlfriend/Wife beater
@@toobmaniac where the fuck did you get that information from pray tell?!?!🤣
@@toobmaniacYou're a girlfriend beater.
HOW can one man have created hundreds of killer riffs? Tony is a f..king legend as we know and this solo is so impressive!
AWESOME! Tony , the best a real gentleman too
Top 5 electric rock guitar player of all time
let's not forget Geezers' accompaniment. Tony and Geezer are the Lennon/McCartney of guitar and bass.
Erik Sean Scheffer you're right. It's my opinion too.
Lennon and McCartney wish they had the skills of Butler and Iommi...
They don't
exept that mccartney was always better at guitar than lennon
David Garcia, you mean George Harrison, Paul McCartney was the bass player
FM Progg yeah, but Paul played guitar as his primary instrument, he had always been a better guitarist than John, he even soloed on a few Beatles songs
❤MR TONY IS THE GOOD GITARISSS
I've got all my fingers and still I can't play like that.
jorge vaz nande He doesn't have any fingers lost, he just has the tips of his middle and ring fingers missing.
Xavier Murphy still, I've got all my tips
Nobody can play like that
jorge vn j
Dont feel bad...only 1 man can.
Tony you're the man! Best guitarrist of all time. Dio, rest in peace my bro. I miss Heaven And Hell as a band, I wish they should've playing, so sad.

Dos Black Sabbaths desde los 60s un ex ELF Y Rainbow hippies y Vinnie Appice con el sonido de tubo vintage el más heavy del planeta
I never drew the line connecting "Heaven and Hell" to "Voodoo Childe" until now. After seeing this, I don't know how I missed it before.
Absolutely insane solo! Perfect example of Tony Ipmmi's guitar work as a soloist!
Godly superman playing guitar like no one else on this planet. Iron Man himself Emperor of all hard'n'heavy music Tony Iommi.
Best there is

You're mostly right, but make no mistake... That amp is LOUD
Behind the Wall of Sleep is heavy blues, not jazz
doesn't get much better than that. electric guitar master. bravo
Fucking legends....all of em. You aint getting this shit now....
The very best. And unlike Jimmy Page he never resorted to stealing songs and then fucking over artists. Iommi is a class act.
that's just dumb
He did not stole song ..... Both are legends .. incomparable .... And for you I wanna say .... Duck off
Correct......and Iommi is a much better guitarist......by fucking lightyears.
@@vanshsharma8255 Led zeppelin has in fact been confirmed to rip songs off. The whole band still brought so much to the table and didn’t copy everything completely. But you can’t deny facts unfortunately
Also Tony is literally God
@@joeshlong9614 God is God fool and page is better than stumps over here love. Both
one of the best guitarists. love these guys.
I like that tony works the neck vertically as much as across the strings.....
Got to admit that Tony is at least the top ten all time best.
I can agree with that!
sipo 70 agree, who would you put on that list?
most deff
Top 10 theres only one spot and thats 1
What a riff iommi rules
Sabbath and Dio together. My fave song. Life is good.
Iommi is so original and he's also my favorite guitarist and this is coming from a Afro-American 😊
The best thing is that Tony and Geezer play so well and understand each other ! You can see it from the begining when Geezer follows Tony
My ear just came...
Extremely creative
Yes! Lived my 20s in th 80s. They were best music times for Metal... although I ws in2 Alice Cooper 1972, Zep 1973, Judas Priest 1975, Iron Maiden next... Blk Sab 1972.
Professionals.
Que solazo!!! Y la base que le hace Getzler es magistral
Dads of whole goddam heavy metal, nuff said!
I love his guitar playing more than Jimi Hendrix yet I know jimi was genius and other genius is Tony
just jamming on em penatonic
Everybody follows Tony
I have always admired and loved Tony Iomi's playing since day one. I love every era of Black Sabbath but especially the Dio Era.
Yes, me the same. First Tony solos I heard from H&H album. Love all of them.
The Dio era is boss
The nurses save the world ..so the scooter revolution can continue.
The Dio era is also my favorite becuz Black Sabbath leaned more into Heavy Metal.
This album, is how i learned to play guitar, using a 83 Gibsin Flying V, a 79 tube screamer, n a pair of amplified headphones on the USS AMerica cruise 1979........2 Jesus God b the Glory...
James Price you must have time travel to by the 83 Gibson v you played on a1979 cruise
This is boss ,who found this.
Brilliant!
Can I say ....a fricking amazing... legendary, can listen to this over and over again..... wait! Lol oh yeah I do! Thanks for sharing this!!!
My dear sweet cousin Miss Perkins introduced me personally to T. Iomi. God I wish you were here MARY!! You were right! Except for the part about Thai Stick!!! Now I know how it's made!!
Man I would of sold my soul for these skills and rocknroll also God bless your soul Black Sabbath members you brought one of the best bands I can listen to all day and while I go fishing
That lineup -- enough said
My favourite moment 5:41 - 6:46
4:14 - 5:16 sound as if the whole universe is falling apart.
He finally switched on the delay
The RIFF MASTER.. Brilliant chops.
The men in black mister sabbath Tony Iommi The rifffff rifffff master At work
So awesome . Iommi is a guitar god 🎸🎸🎸

Tony invented metal guitar, K.K. and Glenn refined it
true, but Blackmore was/is one insecure sob, catering teen parties
wow
Happy 69th Birthday!Tony Ioomi...
I'm so upset I did not see Black Sabbath with RJD in 2008/09, had no idea he was not well. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Fantástico
The greatest
