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.

Whether you choose to call him the Father, the Grandfather, the Godfather of Heavy Metal, or all three — whatever — Tony’s it!Read the full Guitar Alchemy Profile here on dinosaurrockguitar.com.Other Dinosaur Rock Guitar episodes.Chapters00:00:00 – The inventor of metal00:08:38 – Doom/stoner metal00:36:40 – Lead style00:39:08 – Tone – guitars, amps & effects00:55:47 – Guitar playing technique01:31:52 – Discography – Black Sabbath01:40:07 – Discography – Paranoid01:46:05 – Discography – Master of reality01:54:34 – Discography – Vol. 402:04:32 – Discography – Sabbath bloody sabbath02:10:32 – Discography – Sabotage02:15:00 – Discography – Technical Extacy02:17:33 – Discography – Never say Die!02:19:39 – Discography – Heaven & Hell02:35:49 – Discography – The Mob Rules02:40:05 – Discography – Born Again02:57:49 – Discography – 7th Star03:06:56 – Discography – Eternal Idol03:09:19 – Discography – Headless Cross03:12:50 – Discography – Tyr03:14:01 – Discography – Dehumanizer03:21:58 – Discography – Cross purposes03:22:25 – Discography – Forbidden03:23:33 – Discography – 1996 DEP Sessions/8th star03:34:11 – Discography – Fused03:36:53 – Discography – Iommi03:46:23 – Discography – Heaven & Hell03:57:14 – Discography – Live albums & 1303:59:14 – Closing thoughtsLinks & mentionsIommi (2000) – Music appreciation review – Buy on Amazon1971 – Never a dull moment – Buy on Amazon This is a public episode.
