Let's be honest - - who amongst us has NOT wished we could play "Iron Man" while 10 foot lightning bolts discharge all over our glorious metal-clad body?
The stuff techno-geek dreams are made of!

The next big genre of heavy metal?
I will pay to see and hear it just because it sounds so cool.

I don’t care what. With a thread title like that, I had to see this. Awesome.

Me too, love Sabotage from 1975.

Probably was a lot better in his head.
Could have been playing pop goes the weasel.

Shouldn’t they be playing Tesla on Tesla Coils?

Best rhythm section ever...and best rock band of all time.
Give it 3 minutes.

We took our 3 children to see them LIVE. It was awesome. They did a science presentation for the kids before the ‘concert’ and took lots of questions after. They had a robot playing drums.

I saw Black Sabbath in Tallahassee when they did their “Iron Man” tour in the early ‘70s . . . . . been a fan ever since.
Can’t play a lick on a guitar but I’d sure love to have one of those suits and a lightning generator. That looks like too much fun!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing ArcAttack at MakerFaire 2010. Not only were they nice guys, but they put on a good, loud, bright, inventive set of tunes. Oh yeah, with lightning.

I like that song, but the way it was played it sounded a whole lot more like DEVO than black sabbath!
