"ah, but did you know Iommi's first name IS really FRANK?"

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it does it?

"The dark master of heavy rock......Frank Iommi." Hmmm.....doesn't work for me. I've got one of his plectrums somewhere, he flicked it into the audience at a gig at the Cambridge Corn Exchange a few years back and a mate of mine caught it in this really bad afro' he was sporting at the time.

Seriously, the writting in the early years by Sabbath is Frank Iommi, Terance Ward, William Ward and John Osbourne.

lol Yeh its true, ive got the LP of their debut from 69 i think and the names always make me laugh....in their early days they looked a lot older than they were just 21/22 at the time

Yeah, sure mate........what were you? The Chauffer or the window cleaner for Don Arden?

Quite tickled me that has

[IdolDroog]

How come if he was the manager you both (you and ozzy) worked for him? Surely the manager worked for Ozzy and the band more than the other way around and even without being pedantic about that bit its a funny choice of words "both worked for the same guy"....bit detached.

Im not doubting you - just your choice of words.
