Slash Nominates Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi For Birmingham Honor
. "Tony is one of those guys who inspires everyone," said Slash, 49, who was born Saul Hudson in Stoke-on-Trent but now lives in Los Angeles. "I was brought up on Black Sabbath and he is one of the best rock and roll guitarists out there. As a fellow player, I can really appreciate all the nuances of his technique - he is one hell of a guitar player." "This is the man who invented heavy metal in Birmingham and created Sabbath, a brand nobody can touch," he added. "Everyone you meet in rock circles will tell you that they were inspired by Black Sabbath and the band's influence is immeasurable. "Besides which, Tony is a great guy and we've met on a number of occasions. There's just no stopping him. He comes down with lymphoma and what does he do? Reform Sabbath and do a world tour. He really is the Pride of Birmingham and he deserves a f******g medal." more on this story hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
