2012“[Black Sabbath’s] interactions with other famous music personalities and Tony Iommi's perceptions of the music world make this a 'must' for fans of the group and any collection profiling rock music history."
“Some obscure gems…It has a rapid-fire ‘quick story’ quality…Tony’s delightfully frank…It’s honest, endearing.”

it
comes
to
rocker
biographies,
the
2011
winner
is
former

guitarist,
Tony
Iommi’sIron
Man.
This
is
the
whole
package:
Iommi
is
candid,
engaging
and
celebrated
and
that’s
exactly
the
right
combo
for
this
sort
of
book.
Though
it’s
Iommi’s
autobiography,
this
is
also
the
story
of
Black

one
of
the
most
celebrated
and
seminal
rock
outfits
of
all
time.
And
on
this

we
take
with
him
we
discover
that
our

were
only

is
a
likable
correspondent
and
you
don’t
mind
spending
time
in
his
presence
for
the
duration
of
the
book.
If

for
so
many
reasons,
it
should
be
this
one.”

"A fascinating read...Always the quiet one, the man responsible for shoveling coal into the Sabbath furnace while frontman Ozzy Osbourne played the lovably demented buffoon out front, Iommi is a (perhaps surprisingly, given Sabbath's reputation) thoughtful and reflective man whose take on the history of Sabbath is surely the definitive one."—Buffalo News

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The name 'Tony Iommi' sends shivers down the spines of guitarists around the world. As lead guitarist and songwriter of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi is considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the past four decades and the inventor of heavy metal. From working class, Midlands roots, his unique playing style - a result of a disfiguring hand injury he suffered working in a sheet metal factory -- created a dark and gothic sound unlike anything that had been heard before and which captured the mood of its time.
