#38 – DINOSAUR ROCK GUITAR ALCHEMY – Tony Iommi

This is a deep dive into the Dinosaur Rock Guitar Alchemy Profile of Tony Iommi, best known for being the guitar player in legendary rock band Black Sabbath.

Famous for black clothes and silver crosses. Carrying on. While other Sabbath members came and went over the years, Tony remained the constant. And oh, yeah — how about inventing Heavy Metal? Sure, some bands were playing loud, heavy music before Sabbath, but they were blues-based or psychedelic. It was Tony Iommi who found and embraced the dark, eerie music and riffs that would launch a whole new musical genre. Where bands like Zeppelin, for example, balanced heavy music with other styles, Sabbath made heavy their main thing. Whether you choose to call him the Father, the Grandfather, the Godfather of Heavy Metal, or all three — whatever — Tony’s it!
