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

^ 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....)
