Tony Iommi calls out YouTuber for getting his tone wrong

“Where do they get it from?” the metal legend asks

Tony corrects a guy who thought he had the exact Sabbath, Paranoid tone, sounds nothing like Paranoid, this guy was even trying to claim that Tony used a Les Paul with the neck pick-up, so Tony corrected him. I thought it was pretty obvious that Tony used the SG with the treble pick-up, and Tony did indeed use that. Glad that Tony set the record right though.

Yeah, saw that lmfao.

I bet the guy felt like a total idiot afterwards, but hey, at least he got acknowledged by the creator of metal himself.

Seriously though, this guy thought Tony Iommi used a Les Paul! LMAO Well … I guess he did get acknowledged, I guess getting called an idiot by the creator of Metal is something. Tony confuses a lot of people with his tone because he has basically no bass on, which gives it a sort of neck pick-up tone, but still, Tony using a Les Paul? Nope.
