Eddie Van Halen would be playing Do Wop if it wasn't for Tony Iommi. Metallica would be playing Sha Na Na and Franki Valli covers.

Agreed. Most of those guys owe their careers to Tony and Geezer Butler.

Bingo. I saw Sabbath at the Fox in Atlanta in '84. Tony did a 15 minute solo onstage alone, and it was amazing, let alone the concert as a whole. (And I am a musician with hundreds of concerts under my belt.)

Tonni is and always was a pretty lame guitarist . There would be no Eddie if there were no Hendrix perhaps. We’re talking about people who revolutionized the instrument.
