[edit] Suggestion
The Iommi (band) should have a split page, so that this seems less cluttered. Vegetaman 10:41, 15 August 2006 (CST)
[edit] Headings
This article needs to be cleaned up and wikified. Too much information without Headers. Jack 12:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] not exactly NPOV
"amazingly talented" for instance.

you try playing guitar with 2 less fingers on your fretting hand then!
[edit] Guitar Style Section
Poorly written POV with an oversized image to boot. If I had the time I'd re-write it myself. Unfortunately I don't. It certainly needs it because right now it reads like it was written by a ten year old. Someone want to take a stab at cleaning that mess up? (unknown user)
- Well, I'd like to clean it up, but I also do not have time. Vegetaman 07:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Django Reinhardt as an influence
The dark sound of heavy metal was influenced by the gypsy Django Reinhardt
- no, iommi was inspired by the fact that Django didn't give up ; it doesn't matter if Django was a redneck hillbily playing the banjo bluegrass style, called bobby and his mother was his cousin, what matters is that Django had the ability to carry on despite insumountable odds.

I would have to disagree, I dont know if your a musician, but Gypsy music= A lot of Minor chords,Heavy Metal=A lot of Minor Chords+Distortion. Toni Iommi knows where the sound came from.
[edit] Religion ?
Is Iommi Catholic/christian, since he seems to use the cross quite a lot as a motif, or is he an atheist/agnostic using it because "it looks cool" ? Jackpot Den 22:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Last I knew, Iommi (in fact, none of the guys from the original line-up of Black Sabbath) claim to be anything other than Christian. It's the media and poor interpretation of their music that made it seem otherwise. Vegetaman 07:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jethro Tull and T.I.
The reference to the subject's duration with Jethro Tull as a participating ‘live’ performer cannot be correct as the subject is clearly seen and identifiable in the film released I believe WAY LATE (i.e.: commercial foul as in ye olde reference - Merchant of Venice, Act 1, Scene 3) Isle of Wight. I saw this film at the Telluride Festival of ca. 1997. A grain of sand in the MASSIVE BEACHES of the world’s history, made available to all by way of the I.Cisum.ili.dilm 02:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Career Span
I think that the span of his career should be typed on the sidebar as having started in 1964-65, as being stated in the article itself. Gumdropster 13:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] incorrect information in the accident part thing
it says he was 15 when he lost his fingers but watching VH1's metal documentary, it said he lost them in 1968, and being born in 1948 would make him 20 years old, not 15Slash's snakepit 00:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
