In a recent interview, legendary guitarist Tony Iommi opened up about his distaste for three specific Black Sabbath albums, citing their connection to the band’s struggles with substance abuse. Iommi, the driving force behind the band’s iconic heavy sound, shared that the albums in question reflected a challenging period in their career when drug use heavily influenced both their personal lives and musical output.
While Iommi did not specify which albums he was referring to, Black Sabbath’s tumultuous history with drugs is well-documented, particularly during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Iommi explained that the band’s overindulgence in substances at the time affected their creativity and decision-making, leading to projects that he feels did not live up to the band’s potential.
Despite these rough patches, Black Sabbath’s influence on the world of metal remains undeniable, with Iommi’s riffs defining the genre. However, his reflections serve as a reminder of the struggles that many artists face behind the scenes, often overshadowed by their success.
