The most amazing thing for me about these two legends is that they’ve both managed to keep the same hairstyle for over 50 years
-
I love it how Tony and Brian are both well into their 70s but they still jam together like they’re teenagers.
-
I like how the producers said "we need another song" and Tony was like "sure, here is one of the most iconic rock riffs of all time, will that work?"
-
Crazy how this unassuming "old man", Tony, is godfather to alllll of the heaviest heavy bands to come afterwards. His riffs are so iconic that they sound cliche now. Such a pioneer. Incredible
-
It is so crazy to me that Tony lost those fingertips in a work accident and wore prosthetics for his whole amazing career. I don't think he gets enough credit for that alone. Most guys would have quit. I can't imagine playing guitar with prosthetic fingertips! It just blows my mind. What an amazing story of perseverance and determination.
-
May laying a solo over Paranoid is amazing.
-
I would pay more than a concert ticket just to watch these 2 legends jam.
-
Let’s not forget that not only is Brian May a “Sir”, but also a doctor with a PHD in Astrophysics. Talk about living a life well lived!
-
These guys should put out an album and go on tour and play new AND old songs. They could call it Black Queen. I'd pay for that in a second.
-
For those that aren't aware Brian plays on one Black Sabbath track (When Death Calls) and also on two tracks on the Iommi album (Goodbye Lament, Flame On).
-
When May joined in, something inside me riled up in an instant. They sounded so good together!
-
I don't know why seeing them, in their 70s, jamming together like they're 15 and having so much fun while doing it just gives me the widest smile I've had all month
-
Dude....a record with these two legends together would be nuclear.
-
When Brian started soloing over Tony, I got goosebumps. 2 legends 🤘🤘
-
I love how Brian says he will commit sacrilege by playing over the riff, then effortlessly blends in with perfect harmony.... Simply amazing.
-
Iommi was unexpectedly one of the best live guitarists I've seen, in 2014, and I say that respectfully as I've seen a good handful of guys who you'd think of before him in an imaginary ranking! I went expecting to hear Sabbath from the records but it was just levels above that, Iommi smashing it at the age of 75 or whatever, amazing
-
Their tones mesh so well with each other! No wonder they were jamming for hours when they first met and became best mates 😂
-
Brian has one the most distinctive guitar sounds of all electric guitarists.
-
Frankly, there's more quality, talent, love, power, style and charisma in this three minute video than there probably is in the entire top40 anywhere right now...!
-
Two of the most influential guitarists ever, jamming. Oh how lucky we are 🖤
