LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 19, 2019…HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES GO OUT TODAY TO BLACK SABBATH GUITARIST TONY IOMMI. IN MY OPINION, TONY IOMMI IS BLACK SABBATH. IOMMI IS THE LEAD GUITARIST AND IS ONE OF THE FOUR FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. HE IS ALSO THE MAIN COMPOSER FOR THE BAND, AND THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE SABBATH THAT HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL MEMBER FOR OVER 5 DECADES.
IOMMI HAS BEEN RANKED IN THE TOP 25 GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME BY ‘ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE’. MIRACULOUSLY, HE’S ABLE TO PLAY DESPITE HAVING LOST THE TIPS OF HIS MIDDLE AND RING FINGERS ON HIS RIGHT HAND DUE TO AN INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT AS A TEENAGER.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY IOMMI…TO CELEBRATE HERE’S SOME VINTAGE SABBATH FROM 1970
