TONY IOMMI – Footage From Musikmesse 2015 Signing Session Available – "Amazed at How Many Of You Came"

Black Sabbath guitar legend Tony Iommi made an appearance at this year’s Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany on Friday, April 17th. He was there  endorsing two new products from long term partners; a completely revamped Iommi Epiphone SG and an Iommi Laney TI15-112 combo amplifier. Both were created with huge input from Iommi.

Iommi has posted the following update:

“Thanks to everyone who came to the Frankfurt Music Show, especially super fan Rosie who traveled all the way from Italy. I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t stay longer, we had a limited time, and amazed at how many of you came. Hopefully we’ll have an opportunity to see more of you another time. Best wishes…”
