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

James B.

@Trivium Fans 2 No... The beatles influenced the rock part and the composing mindset, but the actual rythm and style was all Black Sabbath.

Also because of some Beatles influence, but yeah.

Omar Brsli more like an example of serendipity.
Or a happy accident.
"Always a bright side"

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.

isn't it awesome how heavy metal music came to be as a result of a freak accident, and how that accident (losing fingers) was actually pretty metal?

Ian Hoswell I think it's even funnier that he was working with heavy metals when he lost his fingers

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.

emart88

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

John Giancarlo

5y↑46

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.

This guy is a litteral legend. A Hero, a true Metal God.

Kinda reminds me of Tyr who traded his hand for peace with Fenrir.

Tomy traded his fingers to create the greatest music to ever exist on Earth.
( I don't know if the album was a kind of reference )

Tony Iommi, and Rick Allen really show what you do if you want to keep playing rock music.

If we ever feel discourage, just remember, Tony did it.

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.

That’s incredibly inspirational

Mike Mason

If u play guitar even mediocre, do this..
Wrap the ends of your fretting fingers with masking tape so that it's stiff, but u can still feel the strings, string your instrument with light gauge strings (boomers are great) but use the second string for your first as well as second..
Turn your base high as it will go with treble halfway up. Don't use distortion effects but turn the volume up..
Tune down a half or whole step then hit some power chords.
Oh yea!!
Then second string, 7th fret with top string open.
There's the classic black Sabbath sound.
Play around with that. It'll freak u out how amazing it sounds

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.

The riff meister. The sound of metal created.

Mason Makuaole

About a year ago I cut the tip of my finger off in construction class, (I'm left handed so, I cut my right hand, but I learned how to play guitar right handed) if I was right handed (then I would've cut my left hand) then I probably still wouldn't be able to play, it's still a little sensitive

KoKoR gelir

Tony tried to play right handed but it didn't work, because it is different thing just playing and making riffs and playing it on stage.

ḾæÇĦØ ꝞœЯŃ. The part where he says it was painful because he cut the ends of his fingers off? Or the part where he melted plastic and formed small balls of plastic that would fit around the end of the his cut off fingers so he could press the strings down with less pain?
