If you like that sort of twee pop thingThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

I was joking, however IMHO Tony Iommi had more influence on guitar music in the last 30 years than the Beatles ever had. While great songwriters the Beatles were not innovative (in technique) or particularly skilled guitar players, for most part apeing 50s R&B styles. Wheras Tony gave us drop D tunning and power chords, Black Sabbath are the godfathers of modern hard Rock music.Originally posted by ace00 View PostHow could I forget the Priest ?
