TONY IOMMI: THE BORN AGAIN INTERVIEW

From the YouTube uploader: In this episode, we have Black Sabbath’s guitarist and the godfather of heavy metal, Tony Iommi. At the time of the interview in 1984, Iommi was 36 years old and was promoting Black Sabbath’s Born Again album and tour.

In the interview, Iommi talks about Ian Gillan joining Black Sabbath and blowing up his boat, thoughts on Ozzy Osbourne remaking old Sabbath tunes, the Born Again live show, Randy Rhoads, and how he really did disturb the priest. 

The interview is conducted by Tapes Archive contributor, Canadian music journalist and author Steve Newton.
