Publisher Description
Black Sabbath is currently on “The End Tour,” which they have proclaimed as their final concert tour.
Iron Man chronicles the story of both pioneering guitarist Tony Iommi and legendary band Black Sabbath, dubbed “The Beatles of heavy metal” by Rolling Stone. Iron Man reveals the man behind the icon yet still captures Iommi's humor, intelligence, and warmth. He speaks honestly and unflinchingly about his rough-and-tumble childhood, the accident that almost ended his career, his failed marriages, personal tragedies, battles with addiction, band mates, famous friends, newfound daughter, and the ups and downs of his life as an artist.
Everything associated with hard rock happened to Black Sabbath first: the drugs, the debauchery, the drinking, the dungeons, the pressure, the pain, the conquests, the company men, the contracts, the combustible drummer, the critics, the comebacks, the singers, the Stonehenge set, the music, the money, the madness, the metal.
Customer Reviews
IRON MAN
Personally this is the best music bio I have read and I have read very many. I wish I could explain why but the book was totally enjoyable. Tony Iommi is a genuine down to earth gentleman and his true life story is both amazing and refreshingly honest. I am glad I learned his story.
Thank you tony Iommi!
I loved this book from start to finish. There where some parts that seem to wonder me in why it was added, but none the less this is tony Iommi, the man who changed the sound of music forever. He can do as he pleases. He can't do no wrong. Strong recommendation to read if you love the sound of Black Sabbath.
