Suggestion

The Iommi (band) should have a split page, so that this seems less cluttered. Vegetaman 10:41, 15 August 2006 (CST)

Headings

This article needs to be cleaned up and wikified. Too much information without Headers. Jack 12:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not exactly NPOV

"amazingly talented" for instance.

you try playing guitar with 2 less fingers on your fretting hand then!

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?

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
