Tony Iommi knows a good riff when he hears one. But then, considering he helped create heavy metal's iconic sound with Black Sabbath, that should go without saying. But in a new interview with Loudwire Nights, the guitarist was asked to name a riff he instantly knew was special - and naturally it posed a problem.
"Well, without sounding big-headed, [we'd got] a few!" he says with a laugh. "When we'd first done the Black Sabbath riff, straight away I knew — it just had this vibe and a feeling and it was something so different in them days that you'd never heard that sort of thing before."
