BLACK SABBATH's Tony Iommi land is the #1 position on Gibson.com's countdown of the Top 10 Metal Guitarists Of All Time, showcasing axemen who pack both fantastic soloing and technical percussion, inspiring generations to keep on shredding.

"Tony Iommi’s dark, distinct guitar textures in Black Sabbath helped spearhead the heavy metal movement and its signature massive riffing. 'Iron Man', 'Black Sabbath' and 'Paranoid”'boast some of the most memorable riffs of all time, with lumbering heavy metal and crushingly heavy choruses. Iommi’s playing is certainly immortalized through the generations of heavy metal bands that have followed."
