Might as well do the whole album. Had it on cassette (high tech for cars!) back in high school. Did not help my studies...

Have you read the story of Tommy Iommi cutting off the tips of his fingers on his fretboard hand? The things he did and how it affected his guitar style supposedly was the first time anybody did that low eerie sound like Sabbath had. Ozzy was the godfather of heavy metal singing and Iommi was the godfather of heavy metal guitar. Pretty good read when you get a minute.

The Horrific Accident That Created Heavy Metal

Who needs fingertips when you've got riffs?

So many new things pop up on the internet now it's a surprise they haven't interviewed his coworkers who saw it happen. I just read a different article yesterday about him where he said he thought he should have switched to being a normal right-handed player. He started playing leftie, like Jimi Hendrix, and didn't think he could relearn everything so he just improvised with those prosthetic finger tips.

I worked with a guy years ago, after his own accident, who did similar but cut off about half of all four. Said he didn't feel a thing, they were just gone. Metal shears are dangerous.

Good song I heard in a movie with Harry Dean Stanton, "Lucky". Weird movie but he was weird guy in cool way in all his movies.

Ignore the women. Just enjoy the sound of the fretless bass. Like a string trombone.

What a cool song! I like this better than Howlin' Wolf's OG version. Kind of sad after watching Wolf's documentary. His mother hated him for singing "the devil's music".

Beat you @Zed Head hahaha!

The writer's version. People have their unique talents. Three Dog Night made it work.
