So, heavy metal was invented because of a piece of heavy metal? Woah.

Tony must be a very strong person to have endured that accident and cancer. I don't follow Black Sabbath, but I really admire him.

I love Sabbath because they are somehow cathartic while also provoking intense happiness. Alot of metal is amazing but too much of it displaces that feeling. They are the perfect ☯️

Do yourself a favor, and follow Black Sabbath. Or at least listen to their old music, which was some of the very best.

HA HA HA! Just showed this to my third grade class. We are doing a unit on the physics of sound. We discussed how after his accident, Tony needed different strings and had to loosen the tension on his guitar which made the pitch much lower. The kids loved it and it was fun for me to share a little metal history while teaching the standards. Thanks TMS!!!!

\m/ Tony Iommi, lead guitarist , he lost 2 fingers and it made him the legend he is today, And he got over his cancer, this guy is a true hero. Here's the legend of what he came to be. People like this are an inspiration to me because he never gave up even if he was facing the odds playing the electric guitar.

@nubreed13 4 года назад

He still has to have blood tests every 6 weeks to see if his cancer has come back.....

@jpgianca 8 лет назад

everything aside, Tony created a genre, pretty much, of music. Not a well appreciated player, rooted in jazz and swing rather than the pure blues of his contemporaries, he forged not only a unique sound but a style of heavy rock that had really no parallel at the time. Seems he and Sabbath generally are more appreciated now, but still I do not think his creativity gets enough credit when compared to other guitarists of his generation.

Hollywood should make biopic movie of this man. Some film production company should hire a screenwriter and assign him to make a script based on this man's life. Incredible story he has.

@rowanmelton7643 3 года назад

Just think. At the time Tony thought his music career was over. Couldn't go on tour with this band. But in the end, this event made him more successful than he ever would've been without it. Goes to show that sometimes bad things can be a blessing in disguise

If you go through the sequence..you could argue that Tony's Mom is responsible for us having Heavy Metal.

@davidwallgren7575 2 месяца назад

Correction: Several people are responsible. Tony's mom, the one who assigned him to that monster, the manager that inspired him, and Tony himself for using that monster and made his prosthesis and guitar technique.

@cody8804 8 лет назад

I'd love to ask the 9 people who gave this a thumbs down why they did it. Great story that's true, Tony is humble and likable and doesn't even say "it lead to me creating heavy metal" when he had every reason that he could have said that, and the art and animation is fantastic. Some people are just always going to be pricks.

@johnbratmon6385 Год назад

I think it's because this came into their RU-vid feed & they didn't want to see more videos like it, so they did thumbs down on it. They probably listen to boy bands & beiber...

@RockStarOscarStern634 3 года назад

2:12 Because the lightest gauge of strings from those days were very heavy for him, so he had to use the lightest gauge of Banjo Strings (they're lighter in gauge than those Strings) so he can create an Ultra Light String set.

Tony Iommi worked at a sheet metal factory, and his two fingers were chopped off by a metal cutter. Taking advantage of his injury he downtuned his strings and created heavy metal. Doesn't get any more metal than that.

@UCyueENpNdacHF82fUrcDkVw Tony took a set of 12's threw away the Low E String, & added on a High A String from a Tenor Banjo set so he could have a set of 9's (or thinner) that are still tuned E-E but are looser & much easier on his Fretting Hand, I believe lots of players did this method.

The factory manager had no idea how influential his words and support were. He thought he was just consoling a poor kid he felt responsible for, but Tommy himself says it was the reason he didn’t give up and pushed to overcome his new disability.
