Alice and Tony Iommi....

[evil syd]

Hello, I was wondering how would you feel if Alice and Iommi did an album together. I think it would be the shit!
what's your opinion?

I think it would be amazing

[recoop]

Yeah..I would like that evil syd..when i read your message at first I missed out "the"..makes a big difference..thought you were saying it would be shit..ha

[sammysausage76]

When I read the subject I thought there ARE working together and my heart skipped...would be interesting I love both. Not sure how Iommi's guitar playing style would work with Alice's singing style though...

no no, iommi is mty favorite guitarist. I think they both have the feel for the dark side and with iommi's riffs coop's lyrics and vocals, there could be a nice blend!

There's only one way to tell and I really think it would be a masterpiece. They are still both at the top of their game!

.........IOMMI AND COOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luney Tune]

Yes, that would be real interesting. This is a thought i have had for many years. Iommi is my all time favourite guitar player. His riffs of doom and Alice`s scary vocals. That would be something !!!!
Every time i pick my dream group Iommi is on guitar and Alice on vocals. And to complete those I have Gary Thain ( RIP)on bass, Cozy Powell (RIP) on drums.

[James1981]

Yeah this would be great. I think Iommis style would really suit Alice. When i saw the title for this topic i got pretty excited as i thought maybe Iommi was going to make an apperance on wtmn 2!!

[evil syd]

ahhh well, it would be real cool!

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Love both parties' work, just that Iommi has a different delivery to his playing than what Alice usually has for guitar work. Just my opinion.

sure, but have you heard the "Iommi" solo album, the one with all the guest stars? peter steele, etc..it's great!

and Iommi has worked with so many vocalists with sabbath and has adapted to their styles nicely!.....
(Ozzy,Dio,Gillan,Martin) all different styles....well, dio is a little similar to Martin, but you get the drift.

....alice would be a piece of cake and interesting work!

That's a fair point.

I'd certainly be interested in hearing it, however i find it quite hard to imagine what it would sound like. I love Iommi's work (i think the Martin era Sabbath is hugely underrated), but his guitar playing typically suits the more operatic, high pitched style of vocal.

why? was ozzy operatic? you're not giving Iommi enough credit! This would be a challenge for both talented parties and
I feel they would both win!

Ozzy was high pitched, and a totally different vocal to Alice. I havent heard Iommi do anything with a singer that sounds remotely like Alice.

Like i said, i really rate Iommi and own pretty much everything he's done.... but that doesn't mean the results would be great.

On paper, Gillan and Sabbath could/should have sounded superb, but in all honesty....it wasn't!

But still...an interesting idea anyway, but one that i think you'll have to keep as a secret wish as i cant ever see it happening. It looks as though Iommi, Butler and Ozzy are planning another Sabbath album/tour in the next few years.

Iommi was asked about working with Alice a few years ago and he said he would like to see what they could create

Maybe that's just what is needed. I'd support it, I even think he's worthy to cover for GB for a reunion gig or tour.

seems like a very odd thing to say, given that both guitarists sound absolutely nothing like each other?

There was a song called 'Into the Night' on his 'Iommi' album that sounded as though it was written for Alice Cooper, but Billy Idol sang it.
