BLACK SABBATH's TONY IOMMI: Video Interview Posted Online

May 23, 2004

A 24-minute video interview with BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has been posted online at the Rhino web site. Watch it at this location.

Among the topics discussed during the interview are:

* The Stonehenge stage set & "Spinal Tap"
* Other lineups besides Iommi/Butler/Ward/Osbourne
* SABBATH's influence on newer bands
* Other guitarists Iommi likes
* What equipment Tony uses
* Iommi's daughter's band

As previously reported, the original BLACK SABBATH lineup — Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Terry "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward — are scheduled to headline this year's Ozzfest beginning on July 10 in Hartford, Connecticut. Although the original announcement regarding SABBATH's participation in the annual traveling festival had indicated that Ozzy's solo band drummer Mike Bordin would be replacing Ward when SABBATH take the stage this summer, the band's original drummer posted a note on his web site Thursday (May 20) saying he "received a positive response" from Sharon Osbourne and is moving ahead with negotiations to participate at this year's festival.
