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 humour, 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.
The name 'Tony Iommi' sends shivers down the spines of guitarists
around the world. As lead guitarist and songwriter of Black
Sabbath, Tony Iommi is considered to be one of the most influential
musicians of the past four decades and the inventor of heavy metal.
From working class, Midlands roots, his unique playing style - a
result of a disfiguring hand injury he suffered working in a sheet
metal factory - created a dark and gothic sound unlike anything
that had been heard before and which captured the mood of its time.
Sabbath went on to become a superband, playing to massive audiences
around the world and selling millions of records, and Iommi led the
life of a rockstar to the fullest - with the scars from all the
drug-fuelled nights of excess and wildness to show for it. In Iron
Man, Iommi goes on the record about Black Sabbath and recounts his
life story in detail and depth. It is the exclusive account of the
life and adventures of one of rock's greatest heroes.
