Tony Iommi
Anthony “Tony” Iommi was born on February 19, 1948 in Birmingham, England. He must have had a hard time learning how to play the guitar as he got the tips of two fingers chopped off after an industrial accident when he was only 17. However, it only gave him a unique style that would have otherwise been impossible. His time with Black Sabbath had been great, and the band kept making albums as late as 2013. Even though he helped give rise to heavy metal as a genre, he was not afraid to show off his unique style. He is best known for the hits “Children of the Grave”, “N.I.B.” and “Sabbra Cadabra”.

Tom Morello
Tom Morello was born on May 30, 1964 in Harlem, New York. He earned a name for himself when he became the lead guitarist of Rage Against the Machine. He might look rather sad in the photo below, but it is only because he is leading the “Occupy Wall Street” event back in 2011. The Harvard University grad is very interested in social change, as you can see here. Best known for the unique sounds he made with his instrument and his use of the effect pedals, his sound was invaluable when it comes to the fusion of hip-hop and heavy metal sound that was associated with the band. He is most famous for hits such as “Killing in the Name” and “Guerrilla Radio”.
