Tom Morello has spoken about his role as the Musical Director of Black Sabbath's upcoming Back To The Beginning mega-gig in Birmingham, and stated that his aim is to make make the July 5 show nothing less than "the greatest day in the history of heavy metal'.
Speaking to Australian Musician about his involvement in the much-anticipated show at Villa Park, Morello says, "I owe a great debt to Ozzy [Osbourne] and to Black Sabbath. And it’s an honour to be a part of it.”
"It came about [because] Ozzy and Sharon asked me to do," the guitarist explained. "They surprised me one day and said, ‘There’s gonna be one more Black Sabbath show, all four original members, the last-ever Ozzy Osbourne show. We wanna have a big day of celebration and will you help curate it?’ And I was, like, Well, that’s crazy. But yes, of course. Heavy metal is the music that made me love music, and Black Sabbath invented heavy metal."
