Tony Iommi vient de révéler qu'il avait en stock une quantité importante de titres inédits qui, à son humble avis, ne sont guère utilisables ni pour le répertoire du Sab ni pour un album solo.

The guitarist has a treasure trove of tracks he has written over the years, but which he has no intention of recording himself, either with Sabbath or on a solo album.

En même temps c'est le genre de bandes qui ressortiront lorsqu'il aura tiré sa révérence... ça sortira probablement en bootleg, puis dans un coffret spécial commémoration !

Ouais sans doute...

Ou encore, certains titres pourront sortir à l'occasion d'éditions limitées en bonus...

Tony Iommi a des projets d'une collaboration avec Brian May http://www.bravewords.com/news/202151

Ca fait un moment déjà...

Ca c'est du teasing

Ca commence par "j'ai quelques titres dont je ne sais quoi faire" et ça se poursuit par "j'vas bosser avec Brian May"



EN tout cas,c 'est plutot une bonne nouvelle pour moi ..

Tout à fait. Je crois qu'on l'a annoncé, il y a déjà un moment.

En fait quand j'dis que ça fait un moment déjà, je veux dire ça fait déjà plusieurs années il me semble (outre le fait que Brian May ait déjà collaboré avec Tony et vice et versa)... c'est le genre de projet comme avec Glenn Hughes !
Pour le moment ça reste en suspens, parce que l'actualité est à 13, mais Ozzy n'a pas annoncé qu'il abandonnait sa carrière solo (au contraire). Donc, nous devons nous attendre à ce que ce dernier retourne, même momentanément, à sa carrière solo pour travailler sur un nouvel album... à ce moment là, Tony retournera probablement lui aussi à sa carrière solo (et qui sait avec qui ?)... sans pour autant abandonner Black Sabbath (l'un comme l'autre).

Et puis, il ne fait pas l'ombre d'un doute que ces deux-là sont très amis. Iommi avait été invité par Brian May au concert hommage à Freddie Mercury en 1992.

Affaire à suivre !

Voici donc les réactions de Tony Iommi lorsqu'on lui a annoncé son lymphome : (j'ai traduit l'essentiel)

"Une fois que j'ai appris ça, ma vie a changé. Je me suis dit : C'est quoi cette merde de lymphone cancéreux ? Et puis, c'était comme ça. J'avais cette putain de maladie."
Cette nouvelle a été un choc pour moi.
Une fois que cela a été diagnostiqué, j'ai dû suivre le traitement adapté et ça m'a fichu à plat. Je suis passé par des phases à me dire : est-ce que je peux faire ci ou ça ? Je ne veux pas mourir, je veux continuer à faire ce que je suis supposé à faire. J'ai demandé au docteur si je pouvais travailler. Il m'a dit oui tout en faisant attention."


Once I heard my doctor say that, my whole world changed,” Iommi says.
“I thought, Bloody cancerous lymphoma? Well that’s it. I’ve had it.”
This news came as such a shock that even today, as Guitar World
sits across from a healthy-looking Iommi in a cottage in rural West
Midlands, England, the guitarist’s affable disposition darkens when he
recalls that grim period.

“Once they diagnosed it, I had to start the treatment right away,” he
says. “And it knocked me about. I’d go through stages thinking, Can I
do this? And then: Of course I can do this. I don’t want to die. I want
to carry on and do what I’m supposed to do.”

Iommi’s treatment included an aggressive course of chemotherapy and
radiation that attacked the cancer but seriously taxed his immune
system. He began to feel sicker, lose weight and weaken, and had to
focus what little energy he had into fighting his illness. Plans for the
Sabbath record were put on hold. But as the guitarist’s body began
responding to treatment, Iommi’s creative spark was rekindled. Much to
everyone’s surprise, he turned his attention back to writing the songs
that would eventually make up Black Sabbath’s new disc, 13.

“They thought I would pack up,” Iommi says. “But I asked the doctor,
‘Is it okay if I work?’ And he said, ‘Yes, you’ve just got to be
careful.’ So I’d go in the studio and play for a bit. Then I’d get tired
and I’d have to go and sit down. The guys would tell me not to push
it.”

Iommi was determined to get the album made. And as Osbourne and
Butler tell us when we catch up with them in a Los Angeles recording
studio, where they’re putting the final touches on the album, he rose to
the occasion.

“We all rallied around him,” Osbourne says. “But it’s not like we’d
be saying, ‘Are you okay? Are you okay?’ We just got on with it. Sure,
he looked tired, but he was a soldier and marched on. He still had more
riffs coming out of him than anyone. None of us would go, ‘Oh, he’s
fucking ill again.’ We’re bros. We grew up together. It’s like a family
member getting sick.”

“It brought up how we’re all just mortal beings, and we aren’t gonna
be here forever,” Butler adds. “Tony and I were on the Heaven & Hell
tour with Ronnie James Dio, and six months later Ronnie was dead [from
stomach cancer, in 2010]. We didn’t have any inkling that was gonna
happen. When Tony got the cancer, obviously that was in his mind. We
didn’t know how he’d respond to the treatment. So it was like, Let’s get
the album done at all costs, as long as Tony’s up to it. So we’d write
for three weeks, and then he’d go for his treatment and we’d all have
three weeks off. But it didn’t affect his playing at all. In fact I
think it really encouraged him and kept his mind off the cancer, which
is the best thing you can possibly do if you have that.”

As Iommi got stronger, his future, as well as Black Sabbath’s,
started looking brighter. The band continued writing and rehearsing, and
making progress on the new album. On November 11, 2011, Sabbath held a
press conference at Los Angeles’ Whisky a Go-Go to officially announce
that they had reformed and would record an album of new material. But in
early 2012, Bill Ward surprised everyone when he announced that he
would not move forward with recording, saying he felt “ostracized” by
the band and calling the contract he was offered “unsignable.”

“I was shocked,” Iommi says. “We were hearing stuff from lawyers,
like, ‘I’m not happy with this. I’m not happy with that.’ We waited a
long time for Bill and we wanted to sort it out. But at the end of the
day, especially after I was diagnosed, I thought, Fucking hell, that’s
it. We’ve got to get a move on. I might pop off next year! So I emailed
him and said, ‘Bill, we can’t wait any longer. We’ve got to get on with
it.’ And that was it.”

Il est clair que le sieur Iommi à plus d'un tour dans son sac, malgré son cancer il continue à nous produire des riffs hors norme... et "13" sera l'album de l'année 2013, un évènement incontournable pour tous les rockeurs qui se respectent !

Aquand un born again II?...

Il était question après la sortie de WhoCares, d'un éventuel album avec Tony et Ian... mais ensuite plus de nouvelle !

born again 2 pourquoi pas ?? mais avec une tournée alors ...

Allez hop, ça a été traduit !!!!!!!!!

oui! ... en 2012 ...

Déja lu, Phil ne serais tu pas en retard.........

grosse news ça

Gillan et Iommi entrevoient un album ensemble

http://www.mediamax.am/en/news/society/8007/

c est assez logique vu le projet holy water pour l armenie
par contre j ai bien peur que Iommi accelere les projets au plus vite
ça sent pas bon sur l etat de sa santé Sad

***
Ian Gillan said this in Mediamax's office during a press conference today. Speaking on his further plans, the rock musician said that "should have a bit of rest from Deep Purple projects and he now talks about the possibility of start of the new album together with Tony Iommi".

Mediamax recalls that Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi co-founded WhoCares supergroup to raise funds for Gyumri N6 music school in 2010. In May 2011, Edel Music company released the first WhoCares single with new 2 songs - Out of My Mind and Holy Water. - See more at: http://www.mediamax.am/en/news/society/8007/#sthash.7JsDdCZr.dpuf

Compte tenu du contexte, ça va être effectivement vite enregistré. Je pense à une sortie aux alentours de mai-juin.

Congratulations, Doctor Iommi!


The great moment, that all Iommifans worldwide were expecting breathless, finally arrived! Our Tony received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Coventry University on Tuesday, 19 November 2013!

The BBC reports Iommi was on hand for the ceremony, saying "It's brilliant. I couldn't believe it."

The university announced the degree has been awarded "in recognition of his contribution to the world of popular music; in particular being recognised as one of the founders of heavy metal music and one of the greatest and most influential musicians of all time".

Tony headed straight from the graduation ceremony to join Black Sabbath in Helsinki for the start of their latest European tour, which begins Wednesday. He published a following statement on his Facebook page this morning:

"Another milestone in an amazing year! I'd like to thank Dr Geoff Willcocks for the nomination and everyone else at Coventry University for a great morning. A big apology for having to run away immediately after the ceremony, the guys were waiting at the airport for me, we're now in Helsinki at the start of the European tour. I'm looking at coming back to meet the staff and students some time in the New Year.

Tony"

CONGRATULATIONS DEAR TONY!!! Well deserved Doctorate! We love you and support you all as one! Looking forward to see you and guys on European gigs!
