Legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi recently discussed Brian May's guest solo on his new solo project, 'From the Dark.' Iommi expressed admiration for May's contribution, emphasizing the mutual respect between the two iconic guitarists. The collaboration symbolizes a bridge between two guitar legends, allowing fans to appreciate their distinct styles in harmony. This partnership reflects the ongoing creative exchanges within rock music's elite circles.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Iommi reveals that May plays on a track called Death Wake, a track with a “weird riff” and solo hot from the Red Special – and May had the option of playing more on the album, but politely refused.
“I did say to him, ‘Do you want to play on something else?’ He said, ‘No, no. Your solos are good. I don’t need to play,’” But it was great that he did,” says Iommi. Based on an article from MusicRadar covering Tony Iommi’s comments on Brian May’s guest solo.
