Nobody else in the music industry sounded anything like him when he first debuted his unique style of playing in the 1970s.
This unadulterated new sound drew in a fresh group of young people yearning for something uniquely their own.
Here are a some of Tony Iommi’s career’s finest moments:
- In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as the 86th greatest guitarist of all time.
- In 1986, Tony eventually went solo and released his debut album, “Seventh Star.”
- 2011 saw the publication of his autobiography, “Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath.”
- Black Sabbath was admitted to the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
- Additionally, inducted in 2006 into the USA Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was Black Sabbath.
One of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock music, Tony Iommi will go down in history as a true legend. He is on par with Albert Lee, one of the greatest R&B and rock guitarists in the world, and Eric Clapton in terms of musical skill.
