There's no question in the mind of any music fan that Tony Iommi is one of the true, unadulterated Godfathers of Heavy Metal - or even heavy music for that matter. And in his 50+ year storied career, he has worn many hats and has taken in music in many different directions. One such direction was in the mid-1980s when, after Black Sabbath had all b…
