	Tony Iommi - Biography - AOL Music
		Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi is one of only two guitarists (the other being Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page) that can take full credit for pioneering the mammoth riffs of heavy metal.
		But Iommi's musical career was nearly derailed prematurely when he suffered a horrible accident at a sheet metal factory, when a machine sliced off the tips of the fingers on his right hand.
		And although a few Sabbath albums from the '80s and '90s could have arguably been considered Tony Iommi solo albums (1986's Seventh Star was labeled a Sabbath album at the last moment by Warner Bros.), he issued his first true solo release in the form of 2000's Iommi.

	Tony Iommi Interview 2004
		Tony Iommi is to heavy metal as Chuck Berry is to rock ‘n roll.
		Iommi invented heavy metal guitar riffing, trademarked the detuned sound and wrote the guitar parts to some of the most memorable and beloved songs in the genres history including “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” “War Pigs,” “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” “Heaven and Hell” and “Sweet Leaf.” To say he is a living legend is an understatement.
		Tony also discuses the possibility of a new Black Sabbath album and takes us on a historic trip through time including how he made the fake fingertips that enabled him to play guitar after tragically cutting off the tips of his fret hand fingers in a work related accident.

	Tony Iommi Guitars
		Gibson Tony Iommi Signature SG Gibson Tony Iommi Signature SG Tony Iommi is synonymous with heavy rock, having more or less invented the genre single-handedly with the dark and doom of Black Sabbath.
		With another band already playing around England by the name of Earth, Iommi and co. were forced to change their name, taking "Black Sabbath" from the American title of the classic Italian horror movie “I Tre Volti Della Paura”.
		In between this, Tony and the 3 other members of the original Black Sabbath line-up reunited as the headline act for summer 2004’s Ozzfest in the USA.

	Ink 19 :: Tony Iommi
		Black Sabbath axeman Tony Iommi is one of the most influential guitarists in rock history.
		When he began playing with Sabbath some 32 years ago, Iommi had been in an accident that cut off the tips of two fingers, so he utilized a lower tuning that was more comfortable to play.
		Iommi certainly enjoyed his first non-Sabbath outing and hopes to assemble some of his guest singers together for a short U.S. live jaunt sometime soon.

	Evolving Artist - Tony Iommi - Fused
		Iommi plays well throughout this album although there is a lot of repetition and not a great amount of diversity; you hear a lot of typical heavy dark doom filled power chords - the opening track “Dopamine” sets the pace for that.
		This is Tony Iommi, the guitar man that literally created dark metal with his former group Black Sabbath, so your expectations for the heavy riffing will be fulfilled…in the same instance, you will hear some great blues influenced riffing.
		Iommi displays some of his best playing on these tracks and the pace changes, going back and forth at the drop of a hat.

	Tony Iommi : Iommi - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Iommi is Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi's first official solo album.
		In a way, Iommi is nearly a Black Sabbath tribute album since its ten songs each feature an all-star guest vocalist.
		Iommi is a rather predictable but generally effective mix of its namesake's menacing riffs and modern-sounding vocals and drums.

		I must admit I would love any album by Tony even if he played a tin drum, but I do not have to really sell this album, when you buy it you will find that is a truly classic heavy metal album.
		For this is the best thing Tony Iommi has done since ‘Seventh Star’;, the cruelly underrated masterpiece he put together with Glenn Hughes in 1986, following a tortuous period of Black Sabbath history that saw Ron Keel, David Donato and possibly Jeff Fenholt passing through the door marked vocalist in sharp succession.
		Iommi once again has come up with a stunning album of great melodies and awesome riffs.
