What If Tony Iommi Never Lost the Tip of His Fingers?

🎸 One injury. One adaptation. One sound that changed music forever.

In this episode of @OddIfs , we explore one of the most bizarre yet pivotal moments in rock history: What if Tony Iommi never lost the tips of his fingers in a factory accident? Without that devastating injury, he may have never lowered his guitar tuning, never created the crushing riffs of Black Sabbath — and heavy metal might not exist at all.

We dive into how this single moment shaped not just a band, but an entire genre — influencing generations of musicians, shaping subcultures, and even changing how technology evolved to support heavier sounds.
