| So has anyone listened to the solos off Seventh Star. I've never heard Iommi play like that before or since. He really really shreds, and his tone sounds more like Van Halen. In fact he does some sweet tapping on "in for the kill". Does anyone have a tab for that solo? |

Seventh star is a hard-rock album made by Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. It's not a real Sabbath album, and it can't be coherently judged by Sabbath-apreciation standards. The Sabbath name was put in the album by pressure of the record company, Iommi said in an interview to brazilian magazine "Rock Brigade" in the time he was releasing his last colaboration with Glenn Hughes. This said, I believe that Seventh Star is a very good hard rock album. When you think the status of hard rock in the 80's it seems understandable why Iommi and Hughes release this project. But fortunately this is not a Bon Jovi-like hard rock album. It's a hard rock album with Tony Iommi in the axe! It's not remotely a masterpiece, but it's a good album. I bought it by a very cheap price (equivalent to 5 dolars - the only reason I bought it without hearing it first), and like it. But traditional Sabbath fans (Ozzy-Dio eras) won't like it if they dislike hard rock (the good one, Van Halen-Whitesnake type, to link the term to its late 70's/80's variant). Poison and Bon Jovi fans will like it too, but it is much more heavy than the poppish/girlie efforts of these two bands. ------------- Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante. |
