An interview with Tony Iommi

Ozzfest impressions (weather), new Black Sabbath album (maybe), Gibson Custom and Epiphone signature models (loves them), and more
Tuesday, September 07, 2004

Just a few hours before Black Sabbath’s Ozzfest show in Tampa (Sept. 2), guitarist Tony Iommi’s thoughts were on the weather – and it wasn’t just because hurricane Frances had caused their scheduled tour finale in Miami to be cancelled. Weather had made the entire Ozzfest tour a different experience for him. “It’s been going very, very well, much the same as all the others, really,” he said. “The only thing slightly different is the weather. We’ve had a few iffy days. It’s amazing how the fans will all stand out there when it’s raining like nothing was happening.”

As always, Tony Iommi on Ozzfest means that a new generation of heavy metal fans gets to hear some of the all-time great metal guitar riffs right from the source. “That’s another fantastic thing,” he said, “to see the younger kids come in. But I think on these type of gigs, it’s very difficult… Our original fans would like to come to a more sedate show, indoors. These things tend to get a bit wild out of doors. It tends to keep the older fans away. It’s a shame.”

Sexy Mexican rocker Alejandra Guzman puckers up at Gibson Beverly Hills

(4-2004)

Lipstick, the first English language album by Latino superstar Alejandra Guzman , debuted at a special listening party at the Gibson Beverly Hills Showroom March 23. An invitation-only event heralded the release of the album and video, and Guzman was there with a Gibson SG created especially for her by the Gibson USA division. The project was co-produced with songwriter Desmond Child, who also produced Guzman's 2001 album SOY; the album won a Grammy Award for Best Female Latin Rock Performance. The title track for Lipstick was recorded in both English and Spanish, and the album includes songs written by Guzman and singer Beto Cuevas from La Ley. Dates for the 2004 Lipstick U.S. tour were announced at the press conference.

Guitarist Magazine picks EverythingSG.com as their place to go!

"We're very much fans of sites that not only present information well, but accurately. That's certainly the case with this gigantic resource for SG lovers. Aside from the usual provision of history, including a fascinating section on exactly why Les Paul removed his name from the very first models, and a full run-down of every single SG ever produced by Gibson, there are desktop patterns, SG-based games and even a gallery of SGs of the future. It'll take hours but enjoy your visit."
