BLACK SABBATH: Text Of BRIAN MAY's UK HALL OF FAME Speech Posted Online

December 13, 2005

When BLACK SABBATH were inducted into the UK Hall of Fame last month, they were introduced by Brian May of QUEEN. Brian is a longtime friend of Tony Iommi's, and Brian is the only other guitarist to ever appear on a BLACK SABBATH record (Brian does the guitar solo on "When Death Calls" from 1989's "Headless Cross"). Brian gave a really nice introduction speech for the ceremony, which touched on the entire history of the band, not just the Ozzy/Tony/Geezer/Bill incarnation. A text of Brian's speech can be found at BrianMay.com. Download an MP3 file containing the audio of Brian May's speech at this location.
