Back in the late '70s, Black Sabbath was promoting Never Say Die, their final album with Ozzy Osbourne during his first tenure with the band. One of the opening acts for their tour was a young American band called Van Halen. They had just released their groundbreaking self-titled debut album, which impressed everyone in the music industry—especially due to Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar playing. Like Tony Iommi, Eddie would go on to become one of the most influential guitarists of all time. The two developed a close friendship over the years. In an interview with Guitar World, Tony was asked about the last guitarist who truly impressed him. He named Eddie Van Halen and reminisced about his reaction the first time he saw Eddie perform live. Tony Iommi recalls his reaction when he first saw Eddie Van Halen “The first one was Eddie Van Halen. When they toured with us early on in their career, I thought he was really good and had come up with something very different for its time. Nowadays you can see how all the technical players have learned from Eddie. The funny thing about him was, much like me, he didn’t read music or anything. It was all from feel. He was inventing stuff just using his ears. “Some of the guitar playing I hear these days is too technical. You have to be precise on this note or that note. I can’t do that – if I do a solo on a record, it’s never the same live. I can’t reproduce what I did in the studio. I’ll do something similar but not exact,” Tony Iommi said. Eddie Van Halen passed away at the age of 65 back in 2020, a victim of cancer. He was a huge Black Sabbath fan and Van Halen used to perform many songs of the Metal band in the early days of their career when they were playing in bars. Eddie would even be the vocalist on some of these versions and in 1994 he had the chance to write a song with Sabbath. He was in England when the band was recording the album "Cross Purposes". He went to visit them in the studio and helped to write the song "Evil Eye". At the time the group had Tony Martin as the vocalist, Iommi on guitar and Geezer Butler on bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcPBdqqgRo&t=41sThe post Tony Iommi recalls his reaction when he first saw Eddie Van Halen appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
