Members onelife Posted April 13, 2016 Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 I keep seeing Tony Iommi's face all over the forum. I just discovered he did a brief stint with Jethro Tull after Mick Abrahams left and before Martin Barre joined the band. I can't help but wonder how that would have turned out if it had worked out. “I didn’t feel quite comfortable with it,” Iommi says. “Even when I went down to the rehearsal with them, I took (longtime Black Sabbath bassist) Geezer (Butler) with me. I said to him afterward: ‘I don’t feel happy with this.’ It just felt weird. I said (to Butler): ‘Let’s get the band back together.'” http://somethingelsereviews.com/2014/01/04/it-just-felt-weird-black-sabbaths-tony-iommi-on-his-brief-stint-in-jethro-tull/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted April 13, 2016 Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 Video won't play here. Iommi doesn't strike me as a Tullist. Not even close. The guy from Gentle Giant mMmaaaybe and that's a stretch. Come to think of it Slingers who flunked a Tull audition would make a very long list. Hypothetically of course.

Members onelife Posted April 13, 2016 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 It wasn't really a good fit but his short stint with Tull was before Martin Barre so the precedent had yet to be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slvrsrpnt Posted April 16, 2016 Members Share Posted April 16, 2016 He may have not been a good fit for the band, but seeing how Anderson ran the band as a leader put Iommi in a better place to make Sabbath what they became Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
