| Tony Iommi |
I went to the Black Sabbath concert last night. Like every Black Sabbath concert I've seen, it was great. I don't know how many Black Sabbath concerts I've been to, but every single one of them was great. In case you haven't guessed, Black Sabbath is my favorite music group. They've been my favorite rock band ever since I heard them for the first time. That was a long time ago.
They are pushing seventy now, but they were playing the heavy metal tunes as if they were still in their twenties. Guitarist Tony Iommi invented the heavy metal rock sub-genre. It's why he and Black Sabbath are legends.

| Ozzy Osbourne |
I remember back in the seventies, my friend and I were the only people in my high school who liked Black Sabbath. It's because the heavy metal sound was so new, so unique, other people disdained it. Shows you what kind of narrow-minded people attended my high school. Nowadays, the heavy metal sound is so common, it could be considered the norm for rock music. Metallica and many other successful rock bands are on record for crediting Black Sabbath as their inspiration.

| Geezer Butler |
Ozzy Osbourne is still in good shape. His voice still hits the notes, and he's still an active front man. Geezer Butler is the best bass guitarist that I've seen and a rare talent in his own right. Unfortunately, Bill Ward, the drummer, has been replaced with the drummer from Ozzy's solo band. The new guy's a fantastic drummer, however, otherwise there would be no chance he'd be drumming for Black Sabbath. Still, before Black Sabbath really does call it quits, I'd like to see them perform one last time with Bill Ward on the drums. That would be ideal.
