November 20, 2016, 8 years ago
Black Sabbath guitar legend Tony Iommi recently guested on Fozzy vocalist Chris Jericho's official podcast, Talk Is Jericho. Following is an overview of what to expect when listening to the audio player below.
"It's episode 300... and there's only one person big enough, legendary enough to mark such a momentous occasion - Black Sabbath founding guitarist Tony Iommi! And man, he's telling some of the craziest rock & roll stories - from meeting Sabbath's mafia-like manager Don Arden to a few of Ozzy's mythic missed gig tales. He's also breaking down some of those classic Sabbath riffs and songs, sharing memories of Ronnie James Dio, and giving his thoughts on Spinal Tap. Plus, he's speaking candidly about his own recent battle with cancer and the role that played in Sabbath's decision to call it quits after this final tour!"
