“I didn’t agree with it”: The 1981 Black Sabbath song Tony Iommi couldn’t bear
Too many questionable lyrics.
The classic rock band Tony Iommi couldn’t stand touring with: “We didn’t get on with them”
Two opposite sides of the coin.
The songs Tony Iommi said Ozzy Osbourne could never sing: “He was probably the worst”
Not having the right instrument.

Not giving as much as he could.

‘Snowblind’ is exactly how it sounds.
The one bandmate Tony Iommi couldn’t stand the sight of: “I used to beat him up”
Absolutely nowhere near him.
