The whole thing gives me chills. It's amazing to think that Ronnie can still hit those notes at 107. :)

Sounds as good as a guitar can sound with .008 strings  :lol:

^ no, I know what you mean, Hunter - the thing is, I LOVE Iommi as a player, but I've always thought his tone to often be so-so...  but I LOVE how he sounds in that clip.

Iommi is one of my favourite players and I have always loved his guitar sound. He sounds awesome in that video. I saw Heaven & Hell is 2007, was a fantastic show, Tony and the boys were all in top form. I hope they come back and do more shows in the UK!

Amazing what a bit of echo can do.

Great tone. The pickups look like mini humbuckers with a dual row pole screws.

It's not my kind-of-thing but if I were playing hard rock, it's exactly the tone I'd try to get  :)

I think that's a John Birch pickup - I used to have one in my SG for a while. (must have still got it somewhere....)

It is a John Diggins guitar (JAYDEE), but he built it when he was finishing up at John Birch and they are John Birch pickups.  If you have one you want to sell let me know -  could use it in my WezV JB replica!  I have a John Birch and they do have great mojo and an excellent sound (though they have a lot of controls), I think the mini hb heavy wound gives this power P-90 sound.  I have tried to get Tim to make one.....

Yeah, that does sound very good.

Lil ole Ronnie's showing his age a bit though - looks like he ought to be in the Adams Family or something - but, boy, he can still sing...

Do you think Mr Iommi likes being referred to as "Tone" on stage though? :lol:

I don't think Mr. Iommi gives a rat's ass about what anybody thinks about him.
