Iommi, I'm massive fanboy since '76. Got everything listened to everything, loved it all. My playing, I thought I had every mannerism every nuance of his down. It was part of my style.
Never saw Sabbath until March 4, 1994 Universal Amphitheatre I didn't have tickets, that's what I did back then it was a hobby, got the idea from a buddy of mine and since that point I don't know I went to maybe 20 or 30 shows after that. Before cucking out again and buying tickets again cuz you know, I'm going with my girl or whoever.
My two buddies that night were too much of a pussy to go along. I told them to grab them fucking pussies and climb this 15 ft fence with me.
Anyhows, they were scared Mike said he'd or or they would wait for me to leave and I would meet me in the bar so I can get a ride home, yeah that didn't happen, but I worked it out. Got in of course, scanned the sit pushed my way to being right in front of Iommi's guitar cabinets. No security monkeys in between me and the stage no barricade of any kind, cool
Let's go down for a bit, lights come back Iommi in pure legend mode. Listening to him right in front of him and not really even watching him or anyone else really, I was stunned, fucking blown away.With all I thought I knew about his technique... I was I was missing a major bit. This dude, I don't know if it's the fingertips you know, the two plastic fingertips or whatever, I doubt it. He did this inimitable vibrato on some of the notes that I sure didn't expect I hadn't heard this before, I didn't know it existed in him. Incredible. It left me shaking my head,still do and I think about it it today's it was right in front of me all along.
I'm I'm so much of a fanboy that when I saw Black Sabbath with Oz you know the whole original band in Vegas I only was staying at the New York New York you know hotel casino and me and my girl and her son was just walking I think he was walking to go out somewhere and I only was walking in with like I don't know five or six people mainly girls hot girls fucking smoking hot girls, I walked right outside and I fucking Tony iommi, good to see you man, he's like, hey man what's going on what you guys up to, I said just checking you out tonight can't wait fucking going to be great he's like thanks man thanks man see you there well I didn't have of course. Didn't try even. But I think now that between running into I only or Ozzy and the exact same way I don't think I would even talk to Ozzy at all not that I don't love him or do you style or you know so much about him it's just now think so I don't I don't think I would know now if he was with someone else hahaha that uh... Maybe was looking pretty good ahhh, things might have been different. Ha
