A PEEK AT THE SNAZZY, STARRY DUDS OF A RIFFMASTER -- CAN YOU BELIEVE IT SURVIVED THE SEVENTIES?!
NOTE: Definitely looks like something a member of HAWKWIND would have worn more than one of our proverbial heavy friends in the Sab, wouldn't you say?
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a patchwork jacket once owned by BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi. Tony reportedly bought the jacket in 1969 and wore it on Sabbath's very first tours. All the patches and stickers were added by Tony along the way. It now rests inside the Hard Rock Cafe Berlin.

I hate how people don't do research on the things they write articles about because they know they can get away with it easily
Tumblr media
These solo buttons that they're saying were 'inspired by World Tour guitars' have been on every Rock Band guitar. They actually inspired the touch strip on the WT guitar, if anything, because RB1 came out with solo buttons a year before WT released. The touch strip is like a whole different thing anyway. The Warriors of Rock guitar didn't even include it

Here's the touch strip for reference if you haven't seen it, doesn't even look similar

A total of 271 songs and 2,314,336 Google searches were analyzed, with the riff, which, according to many, was played on the bass, ranked first
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The guys from the Wood And Fire studio, namely they did this research, say:
Hence the famous joke about forbidden guitar riffs. The first 4 songs are played so often that the staff of the guitar departments of music stores can no longer hear them
And here is the list itself:
1️⃣ Seven Nation Army –The White Stripes (39,750)
2️⃣ Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin (30,375)
3️⃣ Come As You Are – Nirvana (28,750)
4. Nothing Else Matters– Metallica (28,000)
5. Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd (28,000)
6. Hotel California – Eagles (26,875)
7. Enter Sandman – Metallica (26,500)
8. Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd (20,625)
9. Master Of Puppets – Metallica (20,375)
10. Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple (15,750)
11. Heart Shaped Box – Nirvana (14,000)
12. Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana (13,625)
13. Creep – Radiohead (13,125)
14. Iron Man – Black Sabbath (11,125)
15. House Of The Rising Sun – The Animals (10,875)
16. Blackbird – The Beatles (10,500)
17. Back In Black – AC/DC (9,875)
18. One – Metallica (9,125)
19. Crazy Train – Ozzy Osbourne (6,125)
20. Fade To Black – Metallica (5,375)
Tumblr media
Thus, Metallica turned out to be the most popular riffmasters in the aggregate, with four tracks – Nothing Else Matters (4th place), Enter Sandman (7th), Master of Puppets (9th) and Fade to Black (20th) - hitting the top 20 more than any another performer 🤟

When Van Halen was formed in 1973 by the brothers Alex and Eddie Van Halen, Heavy Metal music already existed for a few years and was already showing the musicians from that era that they could really play loud and experiment with heavy riffs and vocals. Although the American band had a sound which was more close to Hard Rock, Eddie always shared his love for Metal. When the band was still in the bar circuit they even used to cover many famous Heavy Metal groups.
During his career that lasted until his death in 2020 at the age of 65, Eddie Van Halen talked a lot about other artists. He even named who in his opinion is the father of Heavy Metal.
THE FATHER OF HEAVY METAL ACCORDING TO EDDIE VAN HALEN
The opinion that Black Sabbath was the band that created Heavy Metal is almost unanimous. The reason is that they were really the first ones to combine heaviness and lyrics that really could send shivers down the spines of listeners at the time. Eddie Van Halen’s opinion was the same, since he told Rolling Stone in 2011 that the father of Heavy Metal music was the Black Sabbath co-founder and guitarist Tony Iommi.
He mentioned the British guitarist when he was being asked about his influences. About him, Eddie said: “He was the father of heavy metal in my mind.” He was then asked if Iommi inspired him to “tune down” his guitar. The Dutch-American guitarist replied: “Well, that was more because it was easier on the singer.”
HE CONTINUED:
youtube
“And on top of that, if you listen to our first batch of records, I never tuned to anything. I never tuned to a piano or a tuning machine. So I always would just pick up my guitar and the bass player would tune to me. So we were always in the cracks (between piano keys). I’ve found that most of the things that I’ve stumbled onto were all accidents, you know?” Eddie Van Halen said.
Tony Iommi is the only member of Black Sabbath who was part of all the eras of the band. So he appeared on every record the band ever made. Known also as the “Riffmaster”, Iommi continues to be one of the most influential guitarists in the world. He curiously had to adapt his guitar playing and sound after he lost the tips of his fingers during the last day of his work in a factory in Birmingham.
HE USED TO COVER BLACK SABBATH IN THE EARLY DAYS AND WOULD EVEN SING THE SONGS
Both guitarists were really good friends, they first met each other when Van Halen was Black Sabbath’s opening act back in the late 70s. As any guitarist of that era, Iommi was really impressed by what Eddie could do with the guitar. Van Halen used to perform many Black Sabbath tracks in the bar circuit before they got their first record deal. In some occasions Eddie himself would occupy the vocals.
In 2013, Guitar World made one interview with Eddie and Tony Iommi side by side to talk about their careers. The Van Halen guitarist recalled Sabbath’s influence, saying: “We played just about every Black Sabbath song. I used to sing lead on every Black Sabbath song we did. Things like ‘Into the Void,’ ‘Paranoid,” and ‘Lord of This World,’” Eddie said.
Curiously, Eddie Van Halen almost appeared on a Black Sabbath album. Back in the 90s he was in England and went to visit Iommi in the studio while he was recording Sabbath’s 1994 album “Cross Purposes.” Eddie was invited to play a guitar solo in the song called “Evil Eye” but his part didn’t end up in the record. Iommi recalled that an interview with Rolling Stone, saying that he just couldn’t reproduce the guitar solo Van Halen composed for the track. That forced him to make a new solo so that he finish the song.
During the same conversation, Iommi praised the late Eddie saying that he kept improving his guitar skills throughout the decades. He also said that likes to think about him as an inventor. The main reason was because he always wanted to come up with something new. So reason he kept working on his own guitars and amplifiers to get the sound that he wanted.

Hey there, metalheads! 🤟 Get ready to dive deep into the tumultuous journey of the one and only, Dave Mustaine!
Dave's story kicks off in the gritty streets of La Mesa, CA, where he grew up. From a young age, he was drawn to music, picking up the guitar 🎸 and quickly realizing he had an innate talent.
Dave's journey took a wild turn when he joined forces with Metallica in their early days. He played a significant role in shaping their iconic sound. But as fate would have it, a bitter departure ensued.

Let's talk "Symphony of Destruction" 🎵! This track from the album "Countdown to Extinction" hit like a sledgehammer! Its political undertones and blistering guitar solos shook the world, earning them a Grammy nod!
Dave Mustaine's legacy is etched in metal folklore, and he continues to shred stages worldwide! Today is Dave's birthday! so happy birthday man!
