Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi Is No Fan Of KISS
Tomy Iommi doesn’t like KISS. “I don’t particularly like KISS. They’re not my type of band at all. Their stage show was done long before by Arthur Brown,” the Black Sabbath guitarist simply said in an interview with Gibson. Iommi also said he found it funny that they’d run across KISS in airports and, without their make up, they’d wonder if it was the band or the crew.
Iommi also recalled one time when Black Sabbath opened on KISS’s “Sabotage” tour in 1975-76 and replacing the letter “K” in “Kiss” on a marquee with a “P.” Hysterical!
-Meltdown-
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
